r A SPECIFIC -FOR La Grippe, for Colds, Coughs, AND L'UNC TROUBLES, AVER'S CHERRY. PECTORAL " Two years ago, I bad tbe grippe, and it left me with a cough which gave me no rest night or day. My family physician prescribed for me, changing the medicine as often as be found the things I had taken were not helping me, but, in spite of bis attendance, I got no better. Finally, my husband, read ing one day of a gentleman who bad had the grippe and was' cured by taking Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, procured, for me, a bottle of tins medicine, and before I had taken half of it, I was enred. I have used the Pectoral for my children and in my f:imily, whenever we have needed it, and have found it a specific for colds, coughs, and lung troubles." Emily "Wood, North St., KIkton, Md.

The Baptist church was filled last evening to hear what Rev. E. B. Sutton of Seattle had to say on A. P. A. issues. He was introduced by Rev. O. D. Taylor, through whose courtesy the use of the church was extended. Mr. Taylor dis claimed to be an A. P. A., but believed in the American feature of free speech, ' and having heard Rev. Sutton once de liver a temperance lecture he felt sure he would be entertained whether or not agreed with the lecturer. ' Rev. Sutton first attempted to correct some of the existing wrong impressions prevailing in regard to the A. P. A., most prominent of which was tbe belief that it was a proscription against the religious belief of Catholics. Heciaimed that on this point, as well as on all others, the organization stood npon the constitution of the United States, guar anteeing religious liberty and its free xercise, and made the statement that if the A. P. A.'s of The Dalles discovered that the rights of Catholics to worship God in their own manner were being in fringed upon they would be the first to rise und demand the complete restora tion of that right. Referring to the attitude of the Catholic church toward our public Echools, Rev. Sutton quoted some published opinions of leading Catholic papers in Chicago and New York, and of priests and vbiehops which seemed unfriendly to them. -' The leeturer read what is called the platform of the A. P. A., commenting npon them section by section, reciting facts and figures in "support of those principles. Hd was attentively followed and frequently applauded by the audi ence before him. A collection was taken op at the close of the lecture. ' DeatU of Mrs. Francis Cox. ' Died at Kingsley, of typhoid fever, after a lingering illness of six weeks, Mrs. Francis Cox.
