Tho weather tho past week has been tho most severe, steady cold tho coun try has ever experienced. Tho ther mometer has, as a rule, been below thu zero point, and at times has seached as low sis twenty-one degrees hoiow zero. Yesterday nnd today the snow came down in a plentiful quantity, and now should the wind start to blow, the en tiro west would iind itself in tho clutch of one of the most intense blizzards ever experienced.

It lias been observed i eeeutli tlmt il Is nn eiier tiling to bring a libel suit against an editor than it N to send him totliepcnitetitiaiy Anj editor, in anj town, might be the defendant in a half dozen libel Mits if he out) would tell what he knows, in his paper.-In not one of the.se would he be convicted for ho would tell the truth. The editor is a far seeing pcioun and lots of things eonie under his eye which would be un noticed by others He often ohscivos things behind the scenes which, If he would hi lug before the public, would start libel suits nud divorces. Of com. so we're not going to tell you bow many married men thero are in town who dellglit ut night to take a walk with sweet sixteen. Talking about sweet sixteen, some of the darling gills of that age took exceptions to what appeared in tills column in regaid to "flirting with show fellows, etc." We are Mi ry girls, but you were mistaken us to the motive which prompted tho writing, us thu writer of "Almost For gotten" last week was thu married part of this office. We guess thejlaugh is on our side, and, rumembur girls, that you are nut the only s(h)olls on the beach. Thoro aro others. Wo might givo you lots of good advice with no other motive than your own welfnro and certainly not becnuso of thu ono attrib uted by you. But to change tho sub ject. How many of our business men who nro against tho largo department houses in Chicago, such us Sears, Roe buck & Co., and Montgomery, Ward & Co., will givo tho nowspnpors credit for refusing to accept their advertis ing? Very few. Wo have done this very thing in the past two weeks al though wo would receive cash payment for tho spneo wanted with a term guarantee. Tho business man, bo whatever his stock of goods, is dam aged bv theso department stores. Wo have from time to lime refused tho ad vertising of foreign houses helling dry goods, clothing, buggies, etc., and still theio arc persons hero who denl in theso lines who do not do ten cents worth of advertising in a year and do not appreciate the fact that we aro re fusing good money in order that their business .nay not bo damaged by tho department store octopus. Where aro you getting your job work brother? aro you sending out of town for it or do you get it from your homo printer? Redj Cloud hns had u real hold-up. This time tho fellow was knocked down and his monoy takon away from him in tho regulation way ns practiced by a professional highwayman. This Iiub caused no end of talk. But when you como to think of it this is nothing. Wo havo had hold-ups for years, only tbo poor victim was not knocked down, but was nevertheless hold-up and robbed just tho same, even when ho had his eyes open and his thinking apparatus was working. Wo havo still a number of hold-ups in town. Speaking about hold-ups, did it over occur to you that under tho cover of darkness most of tbo meanness is done. Let's have electric lights and That cough Hands on i You have used all sorts of cough reme dies but it does not vield: it is too deeo I seated. It may wear itself out in time, but it is more liable to produce la grippe, j pneumonia or a seri ous throat affection. You need something that will give you strength and build up the body. SCOTT'S EMULSION I will do this when everything else fails. There is no doubt about it. It nourishes, : strengthens, builds up and makes the body strong and healthy, not only to throw otf this hard cough, but to fortify the system against further attacks.
