"One Touch of Nature Slakes
Whole World Kin."
When a rooster finds a big fat
worm he calls all the hens In the
farm yard to come and share It. A
similar trait of human nature Is to be
observed when a man discovers some
thing exceptionally good he wants
all his friends and nelghbort to share
the benefits of his discovery. This
Is the touch of nature that makes the
whole world kin. This explains why
the people who have been cured by
Chamberlain's Cough Remdy write
letters to the manufacturers for pub
lication, that others similarly ailing
may also use It and obtain relief. Be
hind every one of these letters Is a
warm hearted wish of the writer to
be of use to someone else. This rem

A ' quite common symptoms of
many diseases Is maltrltion, that Is
a condition, In which the patient can
not eat as much food as he needs for
sustaining health and strength. He
may feel hungry, but has no appe
tite and can eat but little. That
such a condition cannot last long Is
apparent, because there la no life
with nutrition. In such cases you
should use Trlner's American Elixir
of Bitter Wine, a scientific combina
tion of Bitter herbs and pure wine.
It cures and strengthens, at the same
time stimulates and keeps up the
vigor. In all diseases, where we
find loss of strength and weight, yel
lowish complexion, poor nutrition,
tiredness, Bleeplessness, despondency,
we can recommend Trlner's Amrlcan
Elixer of Bitter Wine as a reliable
tonic. 'At drug stores. Jos Trlner,

Store of M. Fanger Crowded to View
Beautiful Display of Hats.
Last Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday M. Fanger, the department
store man, held his grand millinery
opening and the occasion was made
one of the greatest ever given In this
city. M. Fanger has made special
arrangements for a big business this
season and his stock of millinery
Is one never excelled and so far as
most people can Judge, unequaled In
the history of tho town. He has
spared no pains In his efforts to se
cure Buch a selection as would con
tain something calculated to suit the
most fastidious taste. No matter
what style or design the taste would
incline to, it could be found in the
largo display which Mr. Fanger pre
aented for the mothers and daughters
of the city and vicinity to select
I from. And they were not slow to
avail themselves of the opportunity
Commencing on Thursday, when tho
stock was first placed upon display
the crowds swelled until the crush
on last Saturday was something ter
rific. Mr. Fanger had anticipated
a large crowd and for that reason
he had employed a great deal of ad
dltlonal help but he was utterly un
prepared for tho rush which Saturday
brought him. Several times he was
compelled to close the doors bo great
did the crowd become. And the dub
Iness which he did warranted the ex
penditure and the care which he had
devoted to this branch of his busl
ness.
One of the chief causes of the
crowd was the marvelous attraction
which he had secured for his clos
ng day. He had arranged to have lit
tle Annette Leof give bis patronB a
concert and the .attraction was well
worthy the crowd It . drew. . This
little lady only flyq years of age
played a large number of .selections
ipon the piano and is a veritable mar
vel for her age. The Immense crowd
about her did not In the least disturb
her and she played difficult seloc
tlons as a finished musician would
The playing of the first several num
bers was sufficient to spread the news
of her marvelous ability abroad and
soon entrance to the "tore was block
ed by an excited and enthusiastic
crowd. Indeed, tho playing of this
little lady was such that thd ap
plause which she was given was fairly
deserved and should she return to
the city In the future, the Journal be
speaks her an Immense audience.
Mr Vnncer took occasion also
while his millinery opening was on
to place on display his spring line
of the celebrated Wooltex gnrments
This line Is said to be the fluent of
ready-made tailored suits for Indies
In thn country nnd M. Fanger has a
complete line of samples. When It Ik
known that the large retail store of
Chnrles A. Stevens & Bros, of Chi
cago, 111..- n store which stands high
In tho ranks with Marshall Field &
Co. and like Institutions, takes a
full page of the Chicago Tribune to
advertise these goods, something enn
be guessed as to their value. If the
goods are good enough for the pat
rons of Stevens & Co they are good
enough for the beBt for Stevens &
Co. only sell that class of trade. M.
Fanger'8 line Is Identical with the
Stevens line and the prices are Just
the same or possibly a little lower.
In fact, the spring display of M.
Fanger Is something well worth look
ing at from any standpoint and every
person contemplating buying should
give this enterprising man a chance.
It will pay them.
Delightfully Surprised.
Last Saturday being the thirteenth
birthday of Miss Emma Albert, a
number of friends and schoolmates
