ed the favor.
Perfect Confidence.
Where*there used to be a feel-
ing of uneasiness and worry in
the household when a child
showed symptoms of croup, there
is now perfect confidence. This
is owing to the uniform success
of Chamberlain’s Gough Remedy
in the treatment of that disease.
Mrs. M. I. Basford, of Pooies-
ville, Md., in speaking of her ex-
perience in the use of that rem-
edy says: “I have a world of
confidence in Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, for I have used
it with perfect success. My
child Garland is subject to severe
attacks of croup and it always
gives prompt relief.” For sale
by Ambrose Johnson, Druggist.
Itch—Ringworm.
E. T. Lucas. Wingo, Ky., writes
Ly, RL, 1902. “For 10 to 12
years I had been afflicted with a
malady known as the fitch.’ The
itching was most unbearable; I
had tried for years to find relief,
having tried all remedies I could
bear of, besides a number of
doctors. I wish to state that one
single application of Ballard’s
Snow Liniment cured me com-
pletely and permanently. Since
then I have used the liniment on
two separate occasions for ring-
worm and it cured completely.

Young Man Takes Poison.
From Friday’s Daily.
Jim Burdette, a young man
who runs a restaurant next
door to the Banner’s press
room, took poison yesterday
afternoon, and as a result came
dangerously near shuffling off
this mortal coil. It is supposed
that “Rough on Rats” was the
poison used, though this point
has not been definitely settled.
It is also uncertain whether or
not he attempted suicide, though
the general supposition is that
he did. He left the restaurant
awhile before night and went to
his boarding house across the
street from the oil mill. Short-
ly after he fell from his chair,
and a physician was summoned,
who administered the necessary
restoratives, and after a few
hours’ hard work succeeded in
pulling him over the danger
line. Today he is getting along
very well.
Burdette has a wife and one
child, and has been here only a
few months. He formerly liv-
ed at Jewett.
Croup
Begins with the symptoms of a
common cold; there is chillness,
sneezing, sore throat, hot skin,
quick pulse, hoarseness and im-
peded respiration. Give fre
quent small doses of Ballard’s
Horebound Syrup, (the child will
cry for it) and at the first sign of
a croupy cough, apply frequent
ly Ballard’s Snow Liniment to
the throat. Mrs. A. Vliet, New
Castle, Colo , writes March 19th,
1901: “I think Ballard’s Hore-
hound Syrup a wonderful reme
dy, and so pleasant.” 25c, 50c
and $1.00. Sold by Ambrose
Johnson, Druggist.
A national bank is to be estab-
lished on the World’s Fair
grounds at St. Louis. Now if
President Francis will make ar-
rangements with the bank to
supply every “Reuben” who
gets touched with funds to get
home the fair will be a success
from the attendance standpoint.

A Night Alarm.
Worse than an alarm of fire at
night is the brassy cough of
croup, which sounds
children’s death knell and it
means death unless something
is done quickly. Foley’s Honey
and Tar never fails to give in-
stant relief and quickly cures
the worst forms of croup. Mrs.
P. L. Cordier, of Mannington,
Ky., writes: “My three year
old girl had a severe case of
croup; the doctor said she could
not live. I got a bottle of Foley’s
Honey and Tar, the first dose
gave quick relief and saved her
life.” Refuse substitutes. For
sale by Devereux-Bolin Drug Co.

nies, make bonds with the Amer-
ican Surety Company of New
York, and give legal advice.
Come to see me at my new quar-
ters. 14dlw31 C. H.' Martin.
• It’s Everywhere.
The huts of the poor, the halls of the
rich,
i Are neither exempt from some form of
itch;
Perhaps a distinction may be made in
the name,
But the rich and the poor must scratch
just the same.
O, why should the children of Adam

Too Good to be True.
It is rumored that the Cotton
Belt is contemplating the inaug-
uration of a double daily passen-
ger service on this branch at an

great convenience to the travel-

Better Than Gold.
“I was troubled for several
years with indigestion and ner-
vous debility,” writes F. J.
Green, of Lancaster, N. H. “No
remedy helped me until I began
using Electric Bitters, which did
me more good than all the medi-
cines I ever used. They have
also kept my wife in excellent
health for years. She says
Electric Bitters are just splen-
did for female troubles; that they
are a grand tonic and invigora-
tor for weak, run down women.
No other medicine can take its
place in our family.” Try them.
Only 40c. Satisfaction guaran-
teed by Ambrose Johnson.

A Thousand Dollars Thrown Away.
Mr. W. W. Baker, of Plainview,
Neb , writes: “My wife had
lung trouble for over fifteen
years. We tried a number of
doctors and spent over a thous-
and dollars without any relief.
She was very low and I lost all
hope, when a friend suggested
trying Foley’s Honey and Tar,
which I did; and thanks be to
this great remedy, itsaved her
life. She is stronger and enjoys
better health than she has ever
known in ten years. We shall
never be without Foley’s Honey
and Tar and would ask those
afflicted to try it.” Sold by Dev-
ereux-Bolin Drug Co.
During Christmas a Kansas
man concluded to kill a favorite
dog which had been afflicted
with the mange. He wanted to
administera quick and sudden
death. Accordingly he led his
poor dog to a vacant place in his
lot about a hundred yards from
the house. There he tied a stick
of dynamite to the dog’s tail, ap
plied a match and lit out for
home. Singularly enough, he
forgot to tie the dog, and was
horrified to find his whilom friend
following him at a rapid gate, the
fuse sputtering with every jump.
Just as he forced his way into
his house and closed the door the
dog ran under the house and the
dynamite exploded—with these
consequences: It killed the dog.
It scattered the house all over
Kansas. And the man’s hat was
all the coroner could find when
he assembled the inquest.—Ex-
change.

Re-Go Tonic Laxative Syrup is
absolutely indispensable where
a pleasant and reliable medicine
is needed for any disorder of the
stomach and bowels. Sold by

Health
Means the ability to do a good
day’s work, without undue
fatigue and to find life worth

tion may be best and quickest
obtained by Herbme, the best

use Herbine, and find it the best
medicine for constipation and
regulating the liver 1 ever used.”
Price 50 cents. Sold by Am-

Seed Pedigree
You consider pedigree valuable in ahorse, it is
more so in seed. The basis of pedigree is that
like produces like. Our seeds were planted from
good seed and raised purposely for seed which
leaves no doubt as to kind, variety or productive-
ness. This should make them more valuable to
you than seeds bought from houses that don’t
raise an acre of anything, but which buy then-
seed wherever they can be picked up. Besides
these reliable seeds cost no more. Plant good
seed and insure a good crop.
