hereby give the following testimonial.
About September 10. 1905 she was taken
sick with Catarrhal Pneumonia, and con-
tinually grew worse, requiring a trained
nurse Night sweats were SO bad that it
was necessary to change her clothing once
or twice every night; her cough increased
and got SO bad that everybody expected
that she would not i've much longer.
The trained nurse Miss Anna Trnen) in
formed me that she had tuberculosis and
nothing could be done for her. n Janu-
ael's Church. at Shereville Ind. prepared
for her death, he recommended that [

II would not give her some relief. / then
reo1lesra3 the attending physician TO gi
his diagnosis and he informed me that
she had CONSUMPTION and was beyond all
medical aid When asked II he thought
that it was useless 70 try the Alternative,
he replied that No physician could help
her any and ] could suit myself about
it So Immediately had Rev VIM Berg
to send for a. bottle Practically without
hope for recovery, / insisted that she try
the Alternative, which she did. At the
end Of the first weeks treatment she got
so bad that she refused to take any N ore
of II. but the doctor advised her to keep
on taking it, as it was the only thing
that might help her I am glad to say
now that she kept on and soon began to
improve Now, she works as hard as
ever, weighs twenty pounds heavier than
she ever did before she took sick. and
is in good health she frankly SAYS she
owes her life and health to Eckman's
Alternative We keep it on hand at all
times and recommend it highly.

cents higher than at this time last year,
local commission men today said 1t would
go several cents higher within the next
few days.
In previous years they said. the market
at this season had been flooded with
country butter, sold by farm matrons and
maidens laying in their christmas
the price down to earth. This year there
has been little country butter offered, and
the reason assigned is the decreasing
popularity of the churn and butter paddle

MUST HAVE IT'S BOTTLE.

One might almost suppose, from
the evening contemporaries rather
lunatic and somewhat fantastic
RECOMMENDATIONS and commissions
that the city hall is to be paid for
ont of the city's general fund--out
of the revenue it gets and needs
for general city purposes. This, OF
course, is not true, hence there is no
reason why the city's financial con-
ditions, so far as its general revenue
and expenses are concerned, should
have any bearing upon the city hall
proposition. The maintenance of
the establishment, after it is built, is
a matter so petty that it does not
call for serious attention at this
time.
AS for the bonded debt, plan for
disposing of it can be framed and
presented in five minutes, and, as
stated, has already been considered
If not tacitly agreed upon.
But all this doesn't count for any
thing with evening contemporary,
Like the cry-baby, it must have its
uninterrupted bottle right now and
in its own way, or there's the devil
to pay. xsa
