August Flower.
"It is a charming fact , " says Prof. Houton ,
'that in my travels in all pans of the world ,
for the last ten years , I have met more people
having used Green's August flower than any
other remedy , for dyspepsia , deranged liver
and stomach , and for constipation. I find for
tourists and salesmen , or for persons filling
office positions , where headaches and general
bad feelings from irregular habits exist , that
Green's August Flower is a grand remedy.
It does not injure the system by frequent use ,
and is excellent for sour stomachs and indi
gestion. " Sample bottle free at A.McMillen's.
Sold by dealers in all civilized countries.

Six Frightful Failures.
Six terrible failures of six different doctors
nearly sent \Vm. H. Mullen of Lockland , O. ,
to an early grave. All said he had a fatal
lung trouble and that he must soon die. But
he was urged to try Dr. King's New Discov
ery for Consumption. After taking five
bottles he was entirely cured. It is positively
guaranteed to cure all diseases of throat ,
chest and lungs , including coughs , colds , la-
grippe , pneumonia , bronchitis , asthma , hay
fever , croup , whooping cough , 50c and $1.
Trial bottles free at McConnell & Berry's.
There is only one single step from the level
rock over the precipice of ruin.
DeWStt's Witch Hazel Salve will quickly
heal the worst burns and scalds and not leave
h a scar. It can be applied to cuts and raw
hI surfaces with prompt and soothing effect.
I Use it for piles and skin diseases. Beware of
worthless counterfeits. McConnell & Berry.
Modern murmurers are bitten with the fiery
serpents of their own tongues.
Never try to coax a cold or cough ; use the
remedy that unfailingly conquers both. Bal-
lard's Horehound syrup is the great specific
for all throat and lung troubles. Price 25 and
50 cents. A. McMillen , druggist.
There is probably no disease more distress
ing and annoying than piles. Tabler's Buck
eye Pile Ointment is daily curing pases of
year's standing of itching and bleeding piles.
The cure begins on the first application , a ]
little perseverence makes the cure complete. |
Price 50 cents in bottles. Tubes , 75 cents.
A. McMillen , druggist.
Lay away the little issues ,
We can use them nevermore .
Till the ringing campaign slogan j
Sounds in Nineteen-Hundred-Four.
You can't afford to risk your life by allow
ing a cough or a cold to develop into pneu
monia or consumption. One Minute Cough
Cure will cure throat and lung troubles
quicker than any other preparation known.
Many doctors use it as a specific for grippe.
It is an infallible remedy for croup. Children
like it and mothers endorse it. McConnell &
Berry.

Many people worry because they believe
they have heart disease. The chances are
that their hearts are all light but their stomachs
achs are unable to digest food. Kodol Dys

the formation of gas which makes the stomach
ach press against the heart. It will cure every
form of indigestion. McConnell & Berry.

There was Sunday-school and preaching at
the school-house , last Sunday.
Fay Jacobs says "bicycles won't tell"but ma
U not so accommodating ; Lincoln Fitch
agrees with her.
Clementine Ploussard , who has been work
ing at Randalls , for some time past , returned
home , last Sunday evening.
Reports from Lincoln state that I1 rank
Fitch is now base-diummer for the State
university band ; also plays violin in the man
dolin club.
Roy S.Jacobs , who has been doing consid
erable courting of late , returned to Lincoln ,
Tuesday evening on No. 6 , to return to his
studies at the State university.
The trial of L. R. Fitch and Roy S. Jacobs
on last Monday , recalls the following in re
gard to the annual school-meeting : "After
voting a nine-month's school and levying a
sufficient tax to carry on the same , the meet
ing adjourned to find that a side-show had
been arranged by some of the friends of the
defeated candidate , in which young Fitch and
young Jacobs were to break Whittaker to ride
double. Result : A tangle from which Jacobs
came out feet first , minus watch and shirt ;
Fitch was somewhat bruised about the face ,
and neck , that seemed to have been caused by
Jacobs having mistaken the horse he was rid
ing ; while Whittaker was out a pair of glasses ,
and a shirt front , and the next day discovered
that somebody had struck him. " The liar
mony Valley correspondent to THE TRIBUNE
June 29,1900. The continuation of this side
show took place before the county court on
July 2,1900 , at which time young Jacobs was
dragged up by the sheriff on a charge of as
sault and battery.and the county judge , before
hearing the evidence.advisecl the boys to plead
guilty and pay a small fine and large costsfor (
furnishing the free side-show exhibition to an
unappreciative audience. ) The boys were fi
nancially bankrupt and consequently were
bound over for district court , a Sioo.oo mort
gage each being placed on their carcasses ; W.
S. Fitch being security for their appearance.
Their trial came off , last Monday. A jury of
American citizens decided that the boys were
not guilty for the following reasons : They
were too young to tackle a kicking , bucking
mule. They were raised in a city , so could
not have been good broncho busters. The
old sorrel horse seemed to be well broken ,
both single and double. The performance
was free , all the spectators being satisfied ,
having received the full value of their money.
The boys were dismissed with many warnings
and friendly admonitions from the court.
A Village Blacksmith Saved His Little
Son's Life.
Mr. II. H. Black , the well-known village
blacksmith at Grahamsville , Sullivan Co. , N.
Y. , says : "Our little son , five years old , has
always been subject to croup , and so bad have
the attacks been that we have feared many
times that he would die.Ve have had the
doctor and used many medicines , but Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is now our sole re
liance. It seems to dissolve the tough mucus
and by giving frequent doses when the croupy
symptoms appear we have found that the
dreaded croup is cured before it gets settled. "
There is no danger in giving this remedy for
it contains no opium or other injurious drug
and may be given as confidently to a babe as
to an adult. For sale by McConnell & Berry.

in back of neck and head , and tired , worn-out
feeling.a trial will convince you of their merit.

cured them. " Only 50 cents. Try them.

The ranch girls at Kansas husking bees
bitterly complain of a scarcity of red ears of
corn , this season.
To remove a troublesome corn or bunion :
First soak the corn or bunion in warm water
to soften it , then pare it down as closely as
possible without drawing blood and apply
Chamberlain's Pain Balm twice daily ; rub
bing vigorously for five minutes at each appli
cation. A corn plaster should be worn for a
few days , to protect it from the shoe. As a
general liniment for sprains , bruises , lame
ness and rheumatism , Pain Balm is unequaled.
