WE acknowledge the receipt ot a hand­ some illustrated pamphlet, descriptive o? Kayes' Park, Lake Geneva, Wis., the favorite and poptilar Summer Resort of the Northwest. Of all the beautiful and picturesque places on Lake Geneva, Kayes' Park stands at the head. The pamphlet is neatly printed, handsomly illustrated and is an honor to that pop­ ular institution. THE "machine printer" is prevalent everywhere, but is perhaps more numer­ ous in the office of country newspapers than he is where the requirements are more exacting. He it is who sets up whatever the copy looks like to him re­ gardless as to whether it makes sense or not. Such a one it was who setup "Gam- bett" as " I am better," and made a head­ ing intended for " Bridge carried away by a drive of logs" read " Bride carried aw ay by a drove of hogs." Another of this class made an advertisement which read, The christian's dream--no cross, no crown," appear as"The christian's dream --no cows, no creim." THE Literary Club will meet with Mr .and Mrs. F. M. Overacker, Wednesday even­ ing, February 24th,at 8 o'clock. All are nvited to attend. P. M. OVBRAKBB. President. JBUA A. STORY, Secretary. A correspondent asks us the origin of the phrase, " He isn't in it." It was first used by an editor who went to Heaven, and looked around for the man who took h s paper three years and left it in the post offlce^narked " Refused." THE sick in and around this village are mostly convalescing, yet there are many still confined to the house. Among the latter are Lewis Waite and E. Perkins. The weather is very disagreeable for ' £ even a well person. ' THE parties who purchased the land of C. Stegemann, on the east side of the river, for the purpose, it is said, of start­ ing a Floral Garden, have commenced the erection of a cottage, and will put the land in shape as soon as the weather will permit. THERE will be an Epworth League ten cent social at the residence of Mrs. C. T. Eldredge, on Thursday evening of next week, March 3d. A fine literary pro­ gramme will be arranged and a general good time may be expected. All are in­ vited. Refreshments will be served. JOHN WANAMAKER, the Philadelphia merchant says that during the ten days previous to Christmas his sales hovered about $100,000 a day, so that the total for the ten days was only a few dollars under a million. He adds, "I spend $5,000 a week in advertising, and I pay a skillful man--a former editor and good one--f1,000 a month to do it for me. I make money by it. Advertising is the leverage with which this store h«s been built up. I do not see how any large and successful business can be done without liberal advertising." to NIKE fathers out of ten, if asked what occupation they hope their sons to follow, will say: "Well he won't follow my business if I can help it." The only {.inference to be drawn is that a majority of men are engaged in callings not to their liking, either because there is not any money in it, or because it-is not agreeable to them. That is -the natural inference, but the real fact of the matter the average man is a "kicker;" be Ivants something other than that which pfM has, and without making any special to meet the desire, grumbles at 1 least money. Clerk** Xtaties VmOmt A«sir»3ite JS&iiotw * • ^ Ac everybody knows the new election law governs now. For the benefit oi town clerks the following information in regard to their duties, which will be of interest, is given by Secretary Partridge of the Republican State Central Com­ mittee: Under the new election law ti» town clerk becomes a very .important person­ age. He is custodian of the ballot box, and must see that a new one is got if the ojld one is not pretty large for tne ticket will be much larger than in former years. HemusVfee in his office on Monday, March 21st, to receive the certificates of nominationjgjpd the petitions of voters, if nominatiMpltee made by petition. He must examine and pass upon the legality of certificates, count the names on petitions, and see that, they are in proper form. .. •* He must see to his pasting of notices of elections and cards of instructions before 'certain specified dates. He must attend to the preparing, of copy for tickets, have them 'printed, counted, and sealed, know just how many are wanted in each district, and how many he must keep in reserve, see that, the jndges o! dcctiou in each district are supplied with tickets not later than 5 p. oi. the day before election, and with cards and colored tickets to post in and about tbe election rooms and in the booths on the morning of the election. He must provide pens, ink, pencils, blotter, etc., for the several booths for the clerk and judges. He must receive, count and receipt for the ballots not used during the day. He must read the reports of officers at the formal meeting at "two o'clock, and keep a record of the proceedings had. Tn do ni] this, "r.d to do it correctly, requires considerable study of the new law, not forgetting that the general law still defines many of its duties. On his care arid attention will largely depend the correctness and legality of the vote to be cast on Tuesday, April 5th, 1892, when, in most townships of the State, the new election law will have its first fair trial. A New Railway Incorporated. On Monday, at Springfield, 111., the Chicago, Lake Geneva & Northwestern Railway Company filed articles of incor­ poration in the office of the Secretary of State. It is proposed according to these articles to build a railroad from Chicago, through Cook, Lake and McHenry coun­ ties to a point on the boundry line be­ tween the states of Illinois and Wisconsin. The principle office is to be maintained at Chicago and the capital stock is $2,000,000. The incorporators and first board of directors are D. Clevemont Dunlap, Rockford; Fremont Hill, Horace Alexander, JohnS. Monk and Frank C. Elliot, Chicago^ This is as much as-anybody here seems to know on the subject. It may b^ -a genuine deal and it may be only an attempt which will end in smoke.-- Luke Geneva Herald. A RARE BARGAIN.

In a few cities in the State, operating under special charters, the annual munic­ ipal elections mil be held in March; in those incorporated under the general laws the election will be in April. It should be remembered by committee-men and officials that all nominations, wheth­ er by caucus, or convention, or by peti­ tion, must be friade and formally certified to the clerk of the city or village at least fifteen days before the election, and that after that time it will be impossible to have names ptaced upon the ticketexcept to fill vacancies caused by the death or withdrawal of candidates. City clerks will find their duties new in character, and decidedlysaore numerous than here­ tofore. Judges of election are also charged with additional work, some of which must be done several days priorto election.

Trial bottles of Dr. Miles' Nervine are given away, also book of Testimonials showing that it is unequaled for Nervous Prostration, Headache, Poor Memory, Duziness, Sleeplessness, Neuralgia, Hysteria, Fits, Epilepsy. ______ We want every mother to know that croup can be prevented. True croup never appears without a warning. The first symptom is hoarseness; then the child appears to have taken a cold or a cold may have accompanied the hoarse­ ness from the start. After that a pecu­ liar cough is developed, which is followed by the croup, The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse; few doses of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will prevent the attack. Even after a rough cough has appeared the disease may be prevented by using this remedy as directed. It has never been known to fail. 25 cent, 50 cent and $1.00 bottles for sale by G. W. Besley." No healthy person need fear any dan­ gerous consequences from an attack of la grippe if properly treated. It is much the same as a severe cold and requires precisely the same treatment. Remain quietly at home and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as directed for a severe cold and a prompt and complete recov­ ery Is sure to follow. This remedy also counteracts any tendency of la grippe to result in pneumonia. Among the many thousands who have used it during the epidemics of the past two years we have yet to learn of a single case that has not recovered or that has resulted in pneu­ monia. 25 and 50 cent bottles for ««!«» by G.
