When you have a cold the first thing to do is have the bowels movo. Do not take anything that may con Htlpate and most old fashioned rough cures do constipate. Try Ken nedy's Laxative Cough Syrup. It drives the cold from the system by a free yet gontlo action of the bowels; It stops the cough, It itf pleasant to take. Children like It. Hold by all druggists. From Colorado to Oregon. I come from a land where the sun shines bright Day after day, from morn to night, Where the eky is clear as a crystal bell, And its deep-blue depths all gloom dispel. And here It ralneth the livelong day, And the mud lies thick on the broad highway, The mists hide the mountain-tops from view, And the gray clouds banish the heavens' blue. But the grass and the hedges are fresh and green, In the. gardens great blushing roses are seen, The thirsty forests and fields drink their fill, And the miner washes the gold from the hill. And when at last the rains are o'er And the smiling sun shows his face once more, We greet with Joy his genial rays And lift our voices In songs of praise. Celia Doerner.

The Fairest, Squarest and Most At tractive Offer Ever Made to Careful Iluyers Anywhere. Give Mo Cost Price, or Near That Is All I Ask. It- I am going to give Just ten buyers ; of Grants Pass the greatest opportun-j lty to secure a fine, strictly brand; new, highest-grade piano that has j ever been offered anywhere. The ( reason for this extraordinary mov ' Is simply this: We recently shipped , fourteen pianos to this city to be d!s- posed of by our representative. After selling four Instruments, he loft for ! parts unknown. Our misfortune will be your gain. They are the finest lot of instruments ever seen in thHj city, and they must, and will be sold regardless of the sacrifice. In cluded are such world famous makes as the Kimball, awarded Highest Grand Prize at Chicago, and again ! at tho Seattle Exposition; Lester, the pride of Philadelphia; the popular! E. II. Ellers, and several others. ' Mind you, all of these are strictly j high-grade, A No. 1 pianos, fully guaranteed for a long term of years j and never sold for less than $100,' $450 and even $500. Commencing Saturday I will offer them as low as $105 and up, on easy terms. I haven't any time to lose. I must find homes for these instruments In the shortest possible time. If yours is a muslcless home, here is your chance to buy a piano for a Christ mas gift at a price which you will never see again. Such a reduction of prices is bound to create quick buy ing, so do not lose any time. Re member there are only ten pianos and when these are sold this oppor tunity will end. See me today. J.

The best musical attraction '"iulng to Grants Pass this season. A Rabbit Hunt. An incident which was more amus ing to the spectators than to the ac tual participants, occurred at the wood lli-os. ranch, about four miles west of this city Tuesday. The one most interested in the affair, at least the one who took the part of leading man, was Chrl3 Elsmann. Mr. Eismann, in company with Fred Owens, was rabbit hunting. Since the recent heavy rains some little islands were? formed and in order to reach the rabbits the gentlemen con structed a raft and set sail on their hunting trip. Whether the trouble was due to the inferior boat build ing ability or the depth of the water Is not known, but the raft sank Just before they reached the Island and Chris went overboard. All at once the hunting trip was turned into a fishing expedition, with Mr. Owens angling for Mr. Elsmann, who was safely landed, but not until he was saturated by his encounter with the elements. Not a rabbit did they get, but Chris got wet. Hotter to stick to npple raising, Chris, boat build ing Is not in your line. Sail on dry land for awhile and let Russell and Horning kill the rabbits. .Uliland 5, Grunts p,N8 o.

The game was good nnd every turn and crook was close ly watched and appreciated by the large nnd cheering crowd of spectators.
