need his services. Diseases likp pramp

treatment, and have in many instances
proven fatal before medicine could be
procured or a physician summoned. The
right way is to keep at hand a bottle of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and JJiar.

scribe it better medicine for these dis
eases. By having it in the house you
escape much pain and suffering ana all

A BIG SUCCESS.
Crescofs Big Celebration Entertained
'j -v 5000 Visitors to the City.
The 4th dawned bright and clear and
as a result Cresco was filled with a
throng of merrymakers, and their day
of enjoyment was marred in no way.
Elaborate preparations had been made
for their entertainment, and everyone
went home at the end of a warm, tired,
happy day well pleased with the. day's
program and the pleasure they had.en
joyed to the utmost. The committee
in charge of the celebration are to be
congratulated on the success of the
entire affair.
THE PARADE .R
Promptly at the appointed hour the
parade, which was genially acknowl
edged to be one of the best ever given
in Cresco, was formed on Market street
under the direction of the Marshal of
the Day and proceeded in the following
order, headed by the band.
Carriage containing the" Speaker,
Hon. John D. Dennison, who was ac
companied by Mayor Kellow and Sena
tor Burgess and Representative Kull,
Next followed the old cannon deco
rated with the national colors ahd drawn
by four horses. This section of the
parade was in charge of Co. E.
On a patriotially draped float came
thfc Goddess of liberty, impersonated
by Miss Mabel Melvold, who was sur
rounded by a bevy of little girls rep
resenting the states of the Union. On
either side of this float marched a file
of the veterans'of the G. A. R., sym
bolic of the protection and support they
gave in their day to the unity of the
nation as it exists today and repre
sented by these little girls.
Next followed the M. W. W. degree
team making a nice appearance in their
White uniforms.
The R. &.A. float which appeared
next was nicely decorated in the colors
of the order and carried several young
ladies who carried bankers which set
forth the ^principles of their order.
Following this float came a delegation
Of the members of the M. W. A.
"Protected by the M. W. A." was
the inscription on afloat on which were
seated two little boys and two little
girls.
Next came the section of the parade
occupied by the W. O. W. an^ its aux
iliary. Always up-to-date, theirs was
the automobile section. First came
the Thomson auto driven by Sov. Thorn
son himself, carrying the Camp's ban
iier:m charge of some of the' officers.
Following this came Rev. -G&mmon's
machine carrying a banner on- which
was printed ^'You "Auto" Join the
W. O. W.," etc. Next came what was
universally conceded to be the most
elaborately decorated float in the pa
rade, C. F. Miller's auto,: representing
the Woqdmen Circle. The machine was
completely covered with the colors of
the order and all the loops and folds
were caught with roses. Within the
-ftpto were seated four young ladies
Icaritjjng the emblematic banner of the
6rder.S^f ,,...

martial music.
Hose Co., No. 2 in uniform and with
their bull dog mascot upon the cart,
made a good appearance.

in forester uniforms and carrying axes,
future Woodmen all.
Following these came varioug dis
plays representing Mille? Bros,, Clyde

what our people rtrissed by the
'.'unavoidable" failure of the highly
honorable aggregation so styling them

people..
"I afc Stinger's restaurant" pla

SI
quartette consisting of Mrs. C. C.
O'Malley, the Misses Hammond, Fields
and Watts and Messrs Scripture, Kel
low, Swenson and Morton. The invo
cation was delivered by Rev. Hill, and.
D. L. Grannis read the Declaration of
Independence.
The committee made-no mistake in
engaging the Hon. Johjj D. Denison
as the orator of the day. His address
is spoken of universally in the most
complimentary terms as a finished,
scholarly address, free from rant and
buncombe and delivered in a most pol
ished oratorical manner. He wasted
but little time in glorification of the
greatness and prosperity of our coun
try, but pointed out the cause of great
ness and cautioned a jealous interest in
the conduct of the nation's affairs that
would guarantee a perpetuation of the
rights guaranteed to all the people in
the Declaration of Independence. We
would very much like to quote from him
in detail, but time and space will not
permit.
The center of interest in the after
noon was the ball game., A large crowd
was in attendance and they got their
money's worth if two game fora quart
er can be counted such. At the end of
four innings the score between Lime
Springs and Cresco, stood 4 to 0 in fa
vor of the latter and with but very lit
tle prospect of victory for the Springs.
A decision of the umpire, Dr. Daly,
was objected to by the. Springs team
and they refused to finish the game.
As the big crowd were there to be en
tertained, Cresco gave the Springs4"
team $40 to play a game, and with an
unpire of their choice beat them by a
score of 12 to 8.
