Stinsou, a leading druggist, of Macomb, 111., in a letter to the manufacturers of Harts' Honey and Horehound and Re-Go Tonic Laxative Syrup, states: "I have handled Harts' Honey and Harehound and Re-Go Lax­ ative Syrup for one year and have found them the best sellers I have ever had. My sales average two dozen a week of each. Please duplicate my ot- der for two gross, one of Re-Go and'one of Harts' Honey and Horehound." When in need of a medicine for Coughs, Colds, Croup or La Gi ippe, our readers will do well to buy Harts' Honey and Horehound, as it is a medicine of unus­ ual merit. Re-Go Tonic Laxative Syrup is an unfailing cure«for Constipation, Indigestion, Biliousness, Sick Headache and Dyspepsia. I arge bottles 25c, 50c and $1 00. Sold by G. W. Besley, drug­ gist, W. McHenry. I P Nehraiikn - ' Seven million acres of lnfed in central and western Nebraska are to be given away in homesteads of 640 acres each on Jane 28, when the Kinkead law, named after its author. Congressman Kinkead of Nebraska, will become effective. Un­ der it the size of a homestead in any county of the fifth and sixth congres­ sional districts of Nebraska will be in­ creased from 160 to 040 acres. Wheth­ er the land will go the settlers or be tnrned over to the great cattle raisers who for many years have grazed their herds on it and even fenced it off, is the interesting question out in Nebraska. Three years ago it was discovered that the big cattlemen bad fenced in areas as large as some states in these particular lands. When the effort was first made to drive them out they defied all opposi­ tion, but in the end, under stress of in­ dictments and menace of the federal penitentiary, they surrendered. The Only Perfect. Laxative In the World Mr. Thomas Hicky, for many years a prominent citizen of Lincoln, 111., and one who has tried a great many liquid laxatives, pills, tablets and almost ev­ erything advertised for constipation, says: "After using them all, Re-Go Tonic Laxative Syrup has done me more good in a month than anytLing I have ever tried, and it is so pleasant to take that I really like it. I believe it is the only perfect laxative in the world." There is no griping or nauseating effect following the use of this medicine. It is pleasant and certain, stimulates the secretions, and aids nature in digesting and assimilating the food, and sb a tonic is never failing. Sold in 25c, 50c and $1.00 bottles by G. W. Besley, druggist, W. McHenry. DIG DRAINAGE DITCH ̂ Levied by Highway C»taiWlft\ •loner* In Drainage District, / A drainage district has been estab­ lished in Nunda township, the object being to carry off the surplus water from the land lying along a strip run- ning from Gene Matthews' place to the river. The property owners in the drainage district will pay the expense of the construction of the drain. The high­ way commissioners of Nunda township met Wednesday fend fixed the levy against the property in the district, the rate being determined by the estimated value to the property assessed. About twenty or thirty land owners will be directly benefitted. The ditch will run a distance of one and a half miles, from 'Gene Matthews' place to the river, will be 12 feet wide and from 2J to 6 fee* iu depth. Bids for the con­ struction of the ditoh will be advertised for soon. /LAKE GENEVA FIRE- forty TfeowMMt** Dollar Lou-What Was Destroyed. On Tuesday morning Lake Geneva sustained a $40,000 fire loss. Two stores on Main street. Northwestern freight house, half a dozen freight cars, a mar­ ble shop, the Standard Oil company's house, a dwelling house/ half a vacant ice house, and a palace horse car, the property of J. H. Moore, were con­ sumed. There is practically no insur­ ance. The fire was plainly the work of an incendiary. ^ Worst of All Experiences. Can anything be worse than to feci that every minute will be your last? Such was the ex|>erience of Mrs. S. H. Newson, Decatur, Ala. "For three years," she writes, "I endured insuffer­ able pain from indigestion, stomach and bowel trouble. Death seemed inevita­ ble when doctors and all remedies failed. At length I was induced to try Electric bitters and the result was mi- raeuloue. I improved at once and am now completely recovered." For Liver, Kidney, Stomach and Bowel troubles Electric Bitters is the only medicine. Only 50c. It's guaranteed by Julia A. Story, N. H. Petesch, McHenry, and G. W. Besley, W. McHenry, Druggists. SundHy School Workers. The McHenry (bounty S. S. associa­ tion held its annual meeting in the Bap­ tist church in Marengo Tuesday and Wednesday of last week. Nearly 200 delegates were in attendance. The ses- sions'were well attended and very prof­ itable. The following were elected of­ ficers for the ensuing year: President, Dr. C. C. Miller, Marengo. Vice president, E. C. Fisher, Mc­ Henry. Secretary and treasurer, Mrs. C. E. Tuttle, ttingwood. Normal work, A. H. Lind, Nunda. Primary work, Mrs. Steadier, Wood­ stock. Home class, Miss Emma Wilson, Ma­ rengo.

O/ Haw- ley has received a federal appointment and will take up his duties about, the first of next month. He has been ap­ pointed Deputy Naval Officer of the Customs, port of Chicago, a position of responsibility and honor. Mr. Hawley is at present registrar in the grain office in Chicago, a position he has held ful­ some time. During the recent state convention, after faithfully supportijpg Gov. Yates for over sixty ballots, he re­ fused to be "delivered" to Deneen and received a polite (?) request from the gov­ ernor for his resignation. This was ten­ dered, but has not as yet been accepted, although it is stated in the daily papeis that Game Warden L^vejoy of Roscoe is slated for the pl^ce. Mr. Hawley was an enthusiastic Yates man, both before and during the convention, and his friends felt that bis removal was, to say the least, "small politics." All his acquaintances will be glad to learn that he has secured this new position. Startling Evidence. Fresh testimony in great quantity is constantly coming in, declaring Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds to be unequalecf. A recent expression frem T. J. McP'arland, Bentorville, Va., serves as example. He writes: "I had Bronchitis for three years and doctored all the time without being benefited. Then I began taking Dr. King's New Discovery and a few bottles wholly cured me." Equally ef­ fective in curing all Lung and Throat troubles, Consumption, Pneumonia and Grip. Guaranteed by Julia A. Story, N. H. Petesch, McHenry, and G. W. Besley, W. McHenry, Druggists. Trial bottles free, regular sizes 50c and ft.00. 1 Read The Plaindealer advertisements. They are interesting.
