ing. There was not single number
that was not encored, and sometimes
the artists were recalled three and
four times. Rushville, Ind. Re-
publican.
The above endorsement is a fair
sample of the press notes received

tions are exceptionally good, and all

PROVE SERIOUS
John ZettIe Fell and Struck
Stone Curb Yesterday Morn

my.
John Zettle, section boss for the

If cough once gets into your sys-
tenn it acts on every muscle and fibre
of the body and makes you ache all
over. 1t especially effects the in
testines and makes you constipated, so
in order to get rid of cold thoroughly
and without delay you should not
take anything that will tend to con-
stipate. Kennedy's Laxative Cough
Syrup acts upon the bowels and there
by drives the cold out of the system.

to take and is highly recommended for

Our friend and dear Uncle,
Has gone from his home,
To meet the dear Saviour,
And with him to roam.
Thy voice gently called,
And he opened the door,
And our uncle was brought,
To that beautiful shore
The angel who came,
And stood by his bed,
Said Come my dear child,''
For the Saviour has said,
Tomorrow I'll take thee,
From this world of care,
To meet with the dear,
And the loved ones that's there.
Oh Lord and dear father,
Come list to our prayer,
And help us to meet,
With that uncle that's there,
Oh God wilt thou help.
Those poor children that's sad,
And to-day who doeth mourn,
For the loved one that's passed.
Oh God wilt thou help them,
To ask in their prayer,
To meet the dear Saviour,
And have home there,
For we know that our Uncle,
Did have many pains,
So we can't wish him back,
Here to suffer again.

Constantinople has been burned out
nine times and has suffered from four
