XXX M’MINNVILLE, ORE., FRIDAY, JAN. 19, 1900 5 “is God’s Good Blessing” ” I feel that God has blessed Dr. Acker with special knowledge to prepare that grand medicine called Acker's English Remedy for Throat and Lung Troubles. It saves children every time when they are attacked by croup. Every mother should know about it, and I will tell about my expe­ rience. I ba 1 a darling boy of four years to die w ith croup. M y doctor did all he could, but the child could not be made to vomit. That was before 1 knew of Acker's Eng­ lish Remedy. After I did hear of it, I got a bottle. When our little eighteen - months-old girl was stricken with croup, I gave her this medicine, and insiileof twenty minutes she vomited and was bet­ ter right away. During the win­ ter she had croup four times, and it brought her through each time all right. I, myself, had bronchitis pretty bad, and Acker s English Remedy cured me completely. Before I close, I want to tell you of my neighbor's boy, named Jobe Nana. He had bronchitis, too. He got worse all the time. My husband went over to his house and told hirn about my case. Then his mother went to town, got a 50-cent bottle of Acker's English Remedy, and he took it. He came over to our house a few days later and said he was all right, and also said two doses relieved him from the start. You can un­ derstand by my letter why I think so much of Acker's English Remedy. I re­ peat that God's blessing must surely have been bestowed upon Dr. Acker.” (Signed) M rs .

Last Saturday was a red letter day for Custer post aud Relief Corps, it being joint installation. At 10:30 a. tn. officers of the post were iustalled by Past De­ partment Commander J. C. Cooper. Department President Mrs. Gates being pres­ ent installed in a very impressive manner the officers of the W. R. C.. after which Past Department President Mrs. Ungerman stepped forward and in a very appro­ priate speech iu behalf of the members of Custer Relief Corps No. 5 presented the retiring president, Mrs. J. P. jrvine with a gold recognition pin, say­ ing that she hoped she would wear it with as much pleasure as the presentation afforded the donors. Mrs. Irvine responded, assuring them that she would wear it with as innch if not more pleasure, as it would be one more link in the chain of remembrance of the loyalty we ought to show to the heroes who sustained and up­ held the batiner we love so well in its ltonr of supreme peril. Then all marched in to the ba nquet room, where the table never before was spread with so many­ good things. After dinner the meeting was called to order by Comrade Maloney, and all joined in singing “Marching Through Georgia." Then Mrs. Gates, de­ partment president, was called and said: “Comrades, Members of the Relief Corps and Friends—lam indeed glad to be with you today and renew our acquaintance and weld more firmly those ties which bind us together, were such a thing possible, for we of the Belief Corps are the wives, daughters and sweethearts of those gallant men who in the early sixties answered to ‘duty and their country's call,’ and today we are doing what we can for the ‘remnant of that mighty host,' and as we, the near kin of those noble men, become aged and our hands too feeble to minister unto them, then our sisters, the loyal women of this fair land, will take up this work in which they have already so greatly aided us, and carry it to a finish. Anil now I have a plea to make to all women who are not already members of our order, to come and help us. We have no benefits to offer you or rewards; if you come it will simply be love of country- made manifest in this your desire to aid us in caring for these your country's de­ fenders in their declining years. It is hardly necessary that I assure you, my com­ rades, that we of the Relief Corps find our greatest pleasure in working for you, and that our motto is that noble trio of the Grand Army of the Republic, frater­ nity, charity and loyalty.” Mrs. Atkinson followed Mrs. Gates with a very- impressive and enthusiastic speech. Mrs. Rosa M. Atkinson was the first president of the Geo. Wright W. R. C. No. 2, and went into the service a very young woman under authority from Abraham Lincoln. Her first two years’ service was at Columbus, O. She was the first woman that passed the gates at Camp Chase. Her last thirteen months’ ser­ vice was in Washington, D. C. She paid high compliment to the old soldiers ask­ ing the question: What would our country be today politically and religiously if it were not for the flag they saved for us? The W. R. C. came in for their just ap­ preciation, and among other remarks she said that the Relief Corps were the only- legitimate heirs of the Grand Army of the Republic, and that today there are few bachelor posts, so much do they appreciate the work of the W. R. C. Rev. H. T. Atkinson spoke very encouragingly to the comrades, after which several short speeches were made by members. This closed the day, long to be remembered by the members of the G. A. R. and W. R. C. PROGRAM OF TEACHERS' LOCAL INSTITUTE. TO HE UFI R AT O1IT, JAN. liUth ANU lililí. One Dollar if paid in advance, Single numbers five cent«.

Special Meeting ot Council. The city council met in special session Monday evening, all being present ex­ cept J. E. Durham, whose removal has left a vacancy to be filled by appoint­ ment. Mayor Maloney read a message to the effect that they had been called together “for the consideration of matters requir­ ing immediate attention, among which are the following, to wit: The contract for the new dynamo has been annulled, by failure to comply with the terms of the said contract by the Northwest Elec­ tric Engine Co. I would recommend that the city officially declare said con • tract rescinded and notify said company of such action. The council should take the necessary steps to procure a new dynamo and all necessary fixtures at once. Our new boilers have beer, de­ livered according to contract and the bill should be allowed and a warrant drawn on the treasury for the amount due.” He referred to complaint about the violation of the Sunday and gambling ordinances, and recommended that the chairman of the ways and means com­ mittee and the city marshal be appoint­ ed a special committee to enforce the or­ dinances. Mr. Cannon, representing the North­ west Electric Engine Co., was present and stated that the company which he represented had gone into insolvency and that the dynamo was at Denver, Colorado, where it had been stopped by the courts. He also stated that he was ready and willing to turn the contract over to the city at any time. Councilman McDonald wanted to re­ scind the contract, in view of the un­ favorable conditions, but Cannon repre­ sented that if granted a week's time he thought he might get the machine re­ lensed and started on the way here, and that some company would undoubtedly buy the rights and continue to manu­ facture the dynamo. Ou this represen­ tation Councilman Daniels moved that the time be extended one week. The motion prevailed, Messrs Macy and Mc­ Donald voting in the negative. The committee on health and police were ordered to abate certain menaces to health within the city. A tax of 7 mills was levied, of which I mill is for street tax and 6 mills for gen­ eral purposes. The bill for the new boilers for $1,645 was allowed and a warrant ordered drawn for the amount. Bond of Mr. Granstrom, engineer, ap­ proved. F riday , J an . 26, 8 p. m .
