—"Two weeks more of this weather
will put the corn out of the reach of
Jack frost" an exchange says. Perhaps
it will, but it will be a poor kind of a
put, if we are any judges. It is simply
drying up without maturing and will be
of that loose on the cob kind, that is
only good for a poor kind of cow feed
We are not extracting much comfort out
of this as corn weather.
—Hon, E. S. Hoppin passed through
the city Monday evening on his way to

teen with him are registered thorough­
breds, the other is a choice grade cow.

You may take the most elegant and
complete Vestibule Train ever construct­
ed, leaving Chicago daily at 10:15 a. m.
via the Chicago and Atlantic Railway.
These magnificent trains offer unsur­
passed accommodations for all classes of
travel to New York, Boston and eastern
cities. Pullman Dining Cars are a feat­
ure of this new departure and run
"through, in either direction between
Chicago and New York. Instead of ex­
acting extra charges for fast time and
the peerless accommodations proffered,
the Chicago and Atlantic through its
own agencies and those of connecting
lines quotes fares to eastern cities from
$1.50 to $3.00 less than is charged by
other routes.
Consult your local ticket agent on
this important item, or for maps, folders
and time cards giving full information
of the Chicago and Atlantic, New York
and Chicago Vestibuled Limited carry­
ing all classes of passengers. Address

the boys will haye everything way up in

served at the New England Bakery and
Cornforth and Gibbs are preparing to

A Telegrapher's Ruse.
Dr. J. Emmet O'Brien contributes a
paper to the September Century entitled
"Telegraphing in Battle," from which
is quoted: On one occasion an operator
started out from Fairfax Station
on a hand car propelled by three con­
trabands to attempt to restore the line
so that Pope's operators could communi­
cate his whereabouts. Finding the line
cut bevond Pohick Bridge, he spliced
it and got signals from both directions.
While so engaged a party of guerrillas
emerged from the woods t» the track
and surrounded him. Bidding the
negroes stand fast he dictated a swift
message over the line, which was being
repeated back to him and copied as
the Confederate leader leaned over
his shoulder and read the significant
words.- 'Buford has sent back a regiment
of cavalry to meet the one from here
and guard the line. It you are molested
we will hang every citizen on the route.
The instrument ceased ticking as the
operator hrmly replied, '. —.—' (O. K.).
A painful pause ensued. The Con­
federate might have suspected a ruse if
at the moment agleam of sabers had not
shown in the direction of Fairfax Court
House. Hastily starting for the woods,
the leader exclaimed. 'Come boys these
yere ain't our niggers' and they disap­
peared, while the hand car. as if driven
by forty contraband power, sped rapidly
rearward. Pope's wires were not well
guarded at any time."
Wells Advocate: Mr. Fred Helwig
spent a few days in Austin during the
past week Miss Angie Smith has re­
turned to Austin.... .The infant child
ot Mr. and Mrs. Jorgenson died on
Saturday morning last causing deep
mourning in the family circle. They
have the sympathy of the community in
their bereavement'
ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS.
The twin cities of the northwest are
most comfortably and expeditiously
reached from Kansas City and St. Joseph
(two hours in advance of all other lines)
by not the oldest, but by the best railway,
familiarly known in the southwest as the
"Diagonal," the Chicago, St. Paul &
Kansas City Railway. The passenger
equipment, including Vestibuled Com­
partment Sleeping Cars, Dining Cars,
first class Coaches and everything to
correspond, are acknowledged by old
travelers to be all that could be desired.
If you desire to go anywhere in the east
or north, we would suggest that you
write to W. R. Busenbark, Passenger
agent of this line, at Chicago.

—Peoples Press: On Wednesday even­
ing H. Blrkett, Esq., was presented with
a beautiful ebony gold headed cane by
his numerous friends in Owatonna. It
was given him as a token of their respect
and esteem. After the presentation the
friends sat down to a good supper after
which several gentlemen made com­
plimentary remarks concerning Mr. Bir
kett as one of our most public spirited
citizens, also expressing sorrow because
he expects shortly to move to Austin.
A very pleasant social time was enjoyed
by all present. The following are the
concluding words of Judge Chad wick's
presentation speech: "W. M. The Judg­
ment now pronounced on you is that
you take this cane and from love and
fond recollection you be compeled to
keep it the remainder of your days. We
give it not for its intrinsic worth or value
but that the giying may be laid up in the
records and archives of your heart as a
memento of our regard for you. Take
it, may it be long ere you feel the physi­
cal need of it, but as often as you lean
upon -it remember that it represents the
feeling and opinion we have long had of
you, as a strong am^ willing support of
this Lodge and of the beautiful principles
of Masonry, and may success attend you
and yours in your new field of labor."

Dyspepsia.
Makes the lives of many people misera­
ble, and often leads to self-destruction.
We know of no remedy for dyspepsia
mor^successful than Hood's Sarsaparilla.
It acts gently, yet surely and efficiently,
tones the stomach and other organs,
removes the faint feeling, creates a good
appetite, cures headache, and refreshes
the burdened mind. Give Hood's Sarsa­
parilla a fair trial. It will do you good.

He will be nominated by the conven­

because he will come the nearest to fill­

Electric Bitters .has been given the high­

so well filled the ideal of a perfect tonio
and alterative. The people have indor­
sed Electrie Bitters and rely upom this

been saved by the prompt use of
Ayer's Pills. Travelers by land or
sea are liable to constipation or other
derangements of the stomach and bowels
which, if neglected, lead to serious and
often fatal consequences. The most sure
means of correcting these evils is the use
of Ayer's Cathartic Pills. The pru­
dent sailing-master would as soon go to
sea without his chronometer as without
a supply of these Pills. Though prompt
and energetic in operation, Ayer's Pills
le^ve no ill effects they are purely
vegetable and sugar-coated the safest
medicine for old and young, at home or
abroad.
For eight years I was afflicted with
constipation, which at last became so
bad that the doctors could do no more
for me. Then I began to take Ayer's
Pills, and soon the bowels recovered
their natural and regular action, so that
now I am in
Excellent
health."—Mrs. C. E. Clark, Tewksbnry,
Massachusetts.
"I regard Ayer's Pills as one of the
most reliable geueral remedies of our
times. They have been in use in my
family for affections requiring a purga­
tive, and have given unvarying satisfac­
tion. We have found them an excellent
remedy for colds and light fevers."—
W. R. Woodson, Fort Worth, Texas.
For several years I have relied more
upon Ayer's Pills than upon anything
else in the medicine chest, to regulate
my bowels and those of the ship's crew.
These Pills are not severe in their ac­
tion, but do their work thoroughly. I
have used them with good effect for
the cure of rheumatism, kidney trou­
bles, and dyspepsia."—Capt. Mueller,
Steamship Felicia, New York City.
I have found Ayer's Cathartic Pills
to be abetter family medicine for com­
mon use than any other pills within my
knowledge. They are not only very
effective, but safe and pleasant to take
qualities which must inakp them
valued by the public." Jules Hauel,
