The following advertisement, published by a prominent western patent medicine house would indicate that they regard disease as a punishment for sin :. . .v ;r "Do you wish to know the quickest way to cure a sever cold? We will tell you. To Cure, a cold qickly, it must be treated before the cold has become set tled in the system. ,.This can always be done if you choose to, as nature in her kindness to man gives timely warning and plainly tells you in nature's way, that as a punishment for some indiscre tion, you are to be afflicted with a cold unless, you choose to ward it off by prompt action. The first symptoms of a cold, in most cases, is a dry, lond cough and sneezing. The cough is soon followed by a profuse watery expectoration and the sneezing by a prosuse watery dis charge from . the nose. ' In severe cases there is a thin white coating on the tongue. What to do? It is only necessary to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in double doses every hour. That will greatly lessen the Beverity of . the . cold' and; in most cases will effectually counteract it, and cure what would have been a severe cold within one or two days time. iTry it and be convinced."

An Anecdote of Daniel Webster in' Con nection With Them. "I never have had more than my share of the alcoholic headaches that have been passed around where I have been," re cently remarked' a member of Chicago's leading clubs, "but I have been a heavy loser by intemperance nevertheless. "In fact, my family has lost about 'a quarter of a million dollars, I believe, as the re sult 'of the intemperate habits" of . one man -no less a man J than the great Daniel Web.'ter himself. The United States government; has; ;just ordered .the payment of ' French spoliation ' claims amounting to 1,500,000; and $3,500,000 additional has ''been', scheduled .Jor pay ment later; This money was originallv paid to the United States ty the french government tci reimburse the' owners of certain American vessels that had been seized bv Napoleon. The United States government used- this money in making tne Louisiana purchase. JNow trie gov ernment is paying the. claims of the de scendants of the original vessel-owners. )ne of mv ancestors owned five vessels that were seized, and his claim was placed in the hands of Daniel Webster. The immortal Daniel looked over all the papers, and seeing that the claim was en tirely yalid.'undertood to secure its tav ment by congress. But at that time the United States was tnot soTcareful.of. its financial standing as jt now ia, and the eloquence of the great orator proved unavailing.,-. One 3ay, after a vain at tempt to secure" favorable' action "upon the claim, Mr. Webster went to his room, "filled T1D with Hhfiral Tvf nr.na vf y1H ftra and under the exhilerating' influences of the same threw all the papers of the case Into an open . grate, ' swearing " that" the United States knew no such words as honor or honesty and that it would be utterly useless to waste any more time in prosecuting tne claim, so about $250, 000 worth of "hopes weiit ' up ,Mr. Web ster's chimney ; in plain, black smoke. Now these French spoliation claims are - ' , f i 1 1 r l ii -..-. oeing paia on uoiiar ior aoiiar. w nen ever I think of the terrible effect of Daniel's costly debauch I feel like drown ing.the memory of it-some way. - Will you join me?" BEVIEW OF THE LOCAL MARKET. There is an improvement in all. kinds of business for the week ending today, ; over the former. . '.. , . Real Estate There has been more inquiry for outside property and more activity in inside or city real estate. The first, second and third additions to the city are attracting some attention and it is expected that there will " be an active movement in those properties in the near future. The transfers during the week' just closing have been in ex cess of a week ago, and our wise ones predict a very active season in city and country properties. In the grain market there is nothing to note either in sales or shipments. The trade is very quiet, there being but a very limited supply on hand in ware houses and none to speak of being offered for sale by farmers. In Chicago there was a little flurry last Tuesday and Wed nesday on the corners, for the purpose of making an advance, which only resulted in a rise of two or three points. The effort was fruitless and had no perceptable in fluence on the market worthy of mention in wheat centers. The Chicago and New York quotations are nominal as formerly reported.

"One of my customers came in ' today and asked for the best cough medicine I had," say Lew Young, a prominent drng- r"st of Newman Grove, Neb. "Of course showed : him Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and he did not ask to see any other. I have never yet sold a medicine that would loosen and relieve a severe cold so quickly as that does. I have sold four 'dozen of it within the last sixty days and do not know of a single case where it failed to give the mos perfect satisfac tion."
