And, besides ail these, there is still a great need before a township high school can be started. There must be a few public-spirited men who are willing to make themselves thoroughly familiar with the matter in hand; men who have push and energy, who will endeavor to educate the croak- en and to overcome the opposition of those who can not be educated; men who are willing to be rewarded for public ef­ fort Iqr rebuff and censure, resting con­ tent in the feeling that * 'he is our friend yrho makes us do our best" In the hands of such men the preliminary labor and difficulties in establishing a township higb school will soon be overcome and the school once established will so prove its advantages that it will be the pride and glory of all the thoughtful worthy men and women in the township.

M. , Pneumonia can be Prevented. This disease always results from a cold or an attack of the grip and may be prevented by the timely use of Chamber­ lain c Cough Remedy. That remedy was extensively used during the epide­ mics of La Grippe of the past few years, and not a single case has ever been re­ ported that did not recover or that re­ sulted in pneumonia, which shows it to be a certain preventive of that danger­ ous disease. Chamberlain's Cough Re­ medy has gained a world wide reputa­ tion for its cures of colds and grip. For sale by Julia A Story. f iif ' Taxes! Taxes I I will be at J.

"In the winter of 1898 and 1899 I was taken down with a severe attack of what is called La Grippe" says F. L. Hewett, a prominent druggist of Win- field, 111. "The only medicine I used was two bottles of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It broke up the cold and stopped the coughing like magic, and I have never since been troubled with Grippe." Chamberlain's Cough Remedy can always be depended upon to break up & severe cold and ward off any thrcH.it•.c' attack of pneumonia.

Besley and Julia A Story. * • A i f ' In answer to a novel offer of the SShlitz Brewing company, made to Mrs. Carrie Nation to appear on the lecture platform "in the cause of true temper­ ance," with the incidental purpose of singing the praises of Schlitz beer in moderate quantities, the following reply was received last evening by Eugene Wuesthoff, by whom the offer was made early in the day: "If it is your pleasure that I shall ad­ vertise your business with the hatchet, which is my usual way, I am at your service. I promise that every one shall hear of your famous beer." Whether or not the "acceptance" will lead to the closing of a contract between the Brewing company and Mrs. Nation remains to be seen, thought it is prob­ able that she will hear again from Mr. Wuesthoff today. Mrs. Nation as an advocate of "true temperance," her name on the Schlitz Brewing company's payrolls as receiving $500 a month for voicing the excellence of the article that made Milwaukee lamous, scarcely seems in keeping with the line of work which she has so ener­ getically carried on in Kansas. Yet the opportunity is hers. It was with a heart filled with admiration for her ap­ plication of the strenuous life theory, that Mr. Wuesthoff, who is general manager of the Brewing company, sent her the following telegram: Mrs. Carrie Nation Des Moines, la.-- Appreciating your energy and your sin­ cerity in the cause of true temperance, we offer you a salary of $500 per month for youir services as a lecturer of true temperance advocating the temperate use of absolutely pure Schlitz, the beer that made Milwaukee famous JOSEPH SCHLITZ BREWING COMPANY. Within a few hours, Mr. Wuesthoff had his reply, for the woman who has so effectively wielded the small axe in Kan­ sas, proved heraelf equally adept with the pen. • • . Mr. Wuesthoff. when sending the dis­ patch to Mrs. Nation insisted that the offer was bona fide. Danger of Colds and f>aOrlppe. The greatest danger from colds and la grippe is their resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain's Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided. Among the tens of thousands who have used this remedy for these diseases we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia, which shows conclusively that it is a certain preventive of that dangerous malady. It will cure a cold or an attack of la grippe in less time than any other treatment. It is pleas ant and safe to take. For sale by Julia A Story, To Presidential Inaugural at Washington JD.
