Even the opposition newspapers were oompelled to admit that Congressman Hopkins was given a most cordial and enthusiastic indorsement by the Repub­ licans of his own county at the Kane county convention. That body unani­ mously indorsed his candidacy for the United States senatoiship. It instruct­ ed the three Republican members from that district to vote for his nomination and election, and it passed a resolution authorizing him to appoint the thirty delegates from Kane county to the state convention. In another resolution adopted unanimously the convention gave the following substantial and satis­ factory reasons for favoring the eleva­ tion of Mr. Hopkins to the United States senate: Resolved, that we heartily endorse the candidacy of Hon. A. J. Hopkins for the position of United States senator from this state. He has been our rep- ; resentative in congress for more than sixteen years passed. His record dur­ ing that period has been a source of pride to the Republicans of this con­ gressional district. He has carefully guarded and looked after the interests of his constituents, and of the state and county as well. By his faithful and efficient service he has made a Same which is not only creditable to himself, but an honor to his constituents. Be is a native of this state, an able law yer, an earnest advocate and an honest and upright legislator. His long service in the house of representatives has especially qualified him for the position of United States senator, and in com­ mending him to the people of Illinois for this position we are endorsing a man whose character, ability and experience will reflect credit upon the state in that great legislative body.--State Journal. -^<~Tax Books Are Returned.

F°K Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Don't Know it. How To Find Out. Fill a bottle or common glass with your water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or set­ tling indicates an unhealthy condi­ tion of the kid­ neys; if it stains your linen it is evidence of kid­ ney trouble; too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and blad­ der are out of order. What to So. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp- Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passage. It corrects inability to hold water and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to go often during the day, And to get up many times during the night. The mild and the extra­ ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its won­ derful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

Chicago's leading music house, Lyon & Healy, has just bought for a fraction of their usual cost, the surplus stock of several Eastern piano manufacturers. These splendid pianos will be offered without reserve until all are sold. Also they offer a wareroom full of slightly- used and second-hand pianos, including instruments of the following well- known makes: Sterling, Huntington, Chase, Vose, Fischer, Webor, Chicker- ing, Steinway, Knabe, Hardman, Kurtzman, New England, etc., etc. In Square Pianos there fine-toned in­ struments of all the leading makes at $25, $40, $60, and upwards. In Upright pianos neat instruments at $100, $130, $140, $150, $165, $100, $200, and up­ wards. In Parlor and Concert Grands some nice specimens at $250, and up­ wards. Nearly all these pianos were intended to sell for much more than these sale prices. This is an opportun ity that will not occur again. Immedi­ ate attention is therefore neceseflfry. Lyon & Healy will send a list and full particulars upon application. Any piano not proving entirely satisfactory may be returned at their expense. Ad­ dress simply, Lyon & Healy, Chicago. Distance is no obstable in taking ad­ vantage of this remarkable chaqce to obtain a piano, for, in proportion to the savings to be made, the freight charges are insignificant. Write t^o-dar. La Grippe Quickly Cured. "In the winter of 1898 and 1899 I was taken down with a severe attack of what is called La Grippe," says F. L. Hewitt, 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 a cold and ward off any threatened attack of pheumonia. It is pleasant to ta><e, too, which makes it the most de­ sirable and one of the most popular preparations in use for these ailments For sale by Jnlia A. Story and Q. W. Besley. A Card.
