WHILE there is work for all in the United States and wages are steadily advancing to keep pace with the addi­ tional cost of living, there pre thousands of workmen in other countries who are clamoring for employment at low wages. Think this over. THERE is no danger of the citizens of Aroolo ever being prosecuted for their raid on the Illinois Central coal train. The people were suffering and desperate. It would be impossible to find a jury that would convict them, or a justice that would bind them over to the jury, Their action might be called lawful law- lwhf"w. , ALBERT L. HALL, one of the bright­ est writers in Kane county, has sold the St Charles Chronicle, which he has edited for four years, to Cope & PaschaL Brother Hall and the writer ten years ago were clerks in stores at Hampshire and it has been with a feeling of pride that we watched our old chum's pro­ gram in the journalistic field. The new linn has our beet wishes. THE CHRONICLE, Huntley's new paper, is a slight improvement over the Journal, but that is saying little. It is quite evident that the publishers are not well versed in the art of printing. They should join forces, hire a competent printer, and give Huntley one good paper. No town of less than 15u0 pop­ ulation can support two papers. THERE has been a divergence of opin- iop whether, under an act of the legis­ lature of 1901, all of the supervisors in the state would have to be elected next spring, but- Attorney General Hamlin has just issued the opinion that the next election should be as other elections and only half of the supervisors will have to be elected. Many have been maintaining that an entire new board of supervisors will have to be elected next spring, but this is not the case ac­ cording to the attorney general. Don't Worry. This is easier said than done, yet it may be of some help to consider the matter. If the cause is something over which you have no oontrol it is obvious that worrying will not help the matter in the least On the other hand, if within your control you nave fonly to act. W ben you have a cold and fear an attack of Pneumonia, buy a bottle of Chamberlain's Ccugh Remedy and use it judiciously and all cause for worry as to the outcome will quickly disappear. There is no danger of pneumonia when it is used. For sale by all druggists. RIDGEF1ELI*. F. Faye was in Nunda Saturday. E. B. Smith was in Elgin Saturday. J. Merchant was in Nunda Tuesday Mr« was it!

Many children are poisoned and made nervous and weak, if not killed outright by mothers giving them cough syrups containing opiates. Foley's Honey and Tar is a safe and certain remedy for coughs, croup and lung trouble, and it is the only prominent congh medicine that contains no opiates or other pois­ ons. N. H. Petepch.

" A pretty contrast between the brutal ity of greed and the gentleness of charity is shown by the respective positions of the coal dealers and the Salvation Army of Chicago. Not all, but many of the coal dealers are taking advantage of the aearcity of ooal that they may rob the public. In many cases demurrage is paid by the dealers that the ooal may stead on the railroad tracks until buyers can be found who are pressed to the necessity of paying exhorbitant prices for nature's product. Other forms of infamy, entirely outside the pale of or­ dinary commercial privilege, are being practiced by soulless vultures who are willing to fatten upon the freezing flesh of the poor. On the other hand, the Salvation Army is buying ooal and selling it at oost to tike poor, says the Rockford Star. These BROTHER.

M. QUAD. John I. Story expects to go to Mexico soon, being associated with R. P. Pro- basco, land commissioner of the Vera Crnz and Pacific Railroad. To give some idea of the work that is being done by Mr. Probasco we olip the following from the magazine "Bonds and Mort­ gagee:" "About three years ago Alfred Bishop Mason, the millionaire railroad builder, obtained a concession for the building of the first link in the Pan-American Rail­ way which is destined to ultimately give a trunk line from North to South Amer­ ica. Mr. Mason was acting jointly with the Baltimore Trust Company of Mary­ land, and obtained one of the most favor­ able concessions in Mexico, including heavy cash subsidies for the construction of his railroad and the grant of millions of acres of fine lands along the line of the railroad. In looking about the strong men to take charge of their enor­ mous interests in landed properties in Mexico, Mr. Mason selected Mr. Probas­ co as land commi-asinnpr fnr hi* r»i1roRd by reason of his knowledge of the situa­ tion and demonstrated capacity. Offices were opened in Chicago and New York for t he handling of these lands and since that date all operations have been under the charge of Mr. Probasco. He has demonstrated remarkable executive ability in this capacity and the results which hav<- attended his operations along these lines have lieen phenomenal. He at once organized H board of promotion and publicity and the result has been the diverting to Mexico of many mil­ lions of dollars of American capital. "Incidental to this work, Mr. ProbaS- co has organized and sm cessfully floated some of the most prosperous plantation and timber companies now operating in the Republic, involving a capitalization and placing of securities of over $4,000,- 000. Notable among these are: The Commonwealth Mexican Plantation As­ sociation; The Cainpeche Lumber and Development Company; La Trinidad Mexican Plantation Association interna­ tional Development Company, and many others of equal reputation and standing. He now has under way the floatation °f a company along similar lines, capital­ ized at $7,500,000, operated by a develop­ ment company of which Mr. Probasco is general manager, with a paid capital of $1,000,000. This new proposition is the largest of that character ever organ­ ized. involving the cultivation of 37,000 acres in one plantation in the state of Vera Cruz, to be devoted principally to the raising of rubber, tocacco, sugar cane, bananas, pineapples and cattle grazing. The plan includes their own otbthiuttT LIIIO DIIECL to the UuiluJ States, theirown narrow gauge railroad covering the entire estate, a mommoth sugar mill costing $1,000,000and the largest acreage in tobacco in the republic of Mexico. Eastern capital is backing the enterprise and success is already assured." The peculiar congh which indicates croup, is usually well known to the mothers of croupy children. No time should be lost in the treatment of it, and for this purpose no medicine has re­ ceived more universal approval than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Do not waste valuable time in experimenting with untried remedies, no matter how highly they may be recommended, but give this medicine as directed and all symptoms of croup will soon disappear.

EDITOR: Dear Sir:--We saw an item in the Ringwood correspondence about a vaudeville show they had been treated to on New Year's day, and saw that someone made qnite a tnmnlt about it through your columns in The Plaindeal er. We did not parade the streets a- was said, only went from store to pont office and back. And on the contrary we are the ones to complain, because wt bought an article at the store, left it in the buggy and on returning found it stolen. If that is lawful and gracefn for Ringwood, then don't mention tin rest. We had no idea of doing harm t< any one but we hope that time will find the guilty party, that had the a) pallium nerve to steal, so we can have them ut rested.

The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil­ ter out the waste or impurities in the blood, If they are sick or out of order, they fail to do iheir work. Pains, achesand rheu­ matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney- poisoned blood through veins andjxlfries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin­ ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits l^/y7^ by all druggists in fifty- cent and one-dollar siz- es.
