H an excursion on its mind for many

Jack Cashen is at work down
near Lincoln.
An attractive program is being
prepared at Box Elder for the hol

Uncle Isaac Moore and S. D.

McCook the other afternoon.

The cutest little bridge has been

The continued wet weather and

much progress being made in the
way of corn picking.
Geo. 'Moehler has been at Sam

weeks and between storms man
aged to haul in a jag of corn.
Sara Pinkerton , who has been
spending a few days among rela
tives and friends in this vicinity ,
returned to Lincoln and his stud
ies , Thursday last.
The Ward-Branscomb wedding
on the first of the month was
largely attended. The young people
ple were nicely remembered by
their numerous friends and were
the recpients of an endless array
of useful gifts. They will begin
house keeping on one of Wm.
Doyle's farms near the "Willow.
We extend our well wishes.
Last Thursday night a week , no
one would have dreamed of being
visited by a wild , crazy charivari
party , but all the same it came ,
and a more hideous racket of
shootin' irons , big and little , min
gled with heart-rending yells , can
not be imagined. Above the noise
of the storm could be heard the
dismal blasts of a fog horn , or
something of the kind , and as for
noise the boys certainly succeeded.
Course it took some time to collect
our wits and the other articles nec
essary to properly appear before -
the mob , but after a decent moment
the writer and bride just had to face
the music "and the good-natured
joshings of the crowd. What with
a roaring big fire and a good treat
the boys had a thoroughly happy
time. After all kinds and condi
tions of well wishes had been ex
tended and a final volley fired , the
lads disappeared , but the memoiy
of their hilarious and informal call
will long be cherished.

Drink and the gang drinks with you ;

a quenchless thirst of his own. Feast
and your friends are many ; fast and they
cut you dead ; they'll not get mad if you
treat them bad , so long as their stomachs
are fed. Steal , if you get a million , for
then you can furnish bail ; it's the great
big thief who gets out on leave while
the little one goes to jail. Advertise
and the dollars come to you ; quit and
they fail to come in ; for what care the
men who have dollars to spend , for the
man who don't care to see them. Can

ONE OF TWO WATS. I

The bladder was created for one pnrpoye , 1
[ namely , a receptacle for the urine , and as such I
it is not liable to any form of disease except I
by one of two ways. The first way is from im- 1
perfect action of the kidneys. The second , fl
diseases. way is from careless local treatment of other f * J |
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys ii
the chief cause of bladder troubles. So the
womb , like the bladder , was created for one
purpose , and if not doctored too much is not • M
liable to weakness or disease , except in rare 9
cases. It is situated back of and very close to H
the bladder , therefore any pain , disease or inconvenience - 9
convenience manifested in the kidneys , back , - * H
bladder or urinary passage is often , by mistake - *
take , attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is easily made /
and may be as easily avoided. To find out >
correctly , set your urine aside for twenty-lour M
hours ; a sediment or settling indicates kidney '
or bladder trouble. The mild and extraordinary -
nary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root , I
the great kidney , and bladder remedy is I
soon realized. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. At all druggists M
fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a M
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by
mail. Mention The Tribune and send your M
address to Dr. Kilmer & Co. , Uinghamton , N.
