FACULTIES NEW MEMBER.
Imperial Valley Collegiate Institute Gets Teacher From Tabor Col Iege, Iowa-campaign Pro
 gresses.

Another step has been taken to- perial Valley Collegiate Institute in the educational circles of this part of California. R. F. Williams, A. B., has come from the faculty of the Tabor College, Congregational school To- cated at Tabor, Iowa, to assume the general school work heretofore car ried on by H. w. Moorehouse, the local schools secretary, and this re- lieves MT. Moorehouse so that he can push forward the canvas for the $100- 600 fund for sustaining the institute.
 Prof Williams will take the classes in English, history and languages. Dean Booth will give special lines of instruction his personal attention and will develop the scientific agricultur- al course.
 MT. MOorehouse is meeting with good success among the owners of Imperial Valley lands in his canvas for subscriptions of either land or cash for the school endowment, and believes that conditions will be such as to justify the enlargement of the fac ulty at the opening of next seasons work, with an offering of such courses of study and special lines as will prove highly attractive to those seek ing place in which to educate their sons and daughters.

Many SleepIess Nights, Owing to (
 Persistent Cough. Relief Found at Last,

For several winters past my wife has been troubled with a most persis- tent and disagreeable cough, which in- variably extended over period of sev- eral weeks and caused her many sleepless nights, writes Will J. Hay ner, editor of the Burley, Colo, Bulle- tin. Various remedies were tried each year, with no beneficial results. In November last the cough again put in an appearance and my wife, act ing on the suggestion of friend, pur- chased a bottle of Chamberlain s Cough Remedy. The result was, in- deed, marvellous. After three doses the. cough entirely disappeared and has not manifested itself since" This remedy is for sale by Dunaway & Lowe, Druggists.
