COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. \ Many Bills Are Allowed At RegnlRr Monthly Meeting. MAIL ORDER HOUSE FINED. .1* .fjl--it tFwr 'Ahort Weight, An inspector representing the Food and Dairy department of Minnesota re ceutly tied up a shipment .of goods from a Chicago catalogue house. Investiga­ tion disclosed that of eighty-two sam­ ples taken from one shipment only two complied with the Minnesota food laws Reports state that every one of the eighty packages was discovered to be short weight. Coffee marked fifteen pounds weighed thirteen pounds, eight ounces, and so on thruout the list of Bpices, rice, etc. According to report the coffee was adul­ terated with roasted beans, spices were adulterated, and a sample of blackberry cordial contained salicylic acid and ooal tar dye. " The catalogue concern pleaded guilty and was fined #50 and costs. Mr. Consumer, how does the above compare with the advice repeated on almost every page of the mail order house catagogue, to beware of the "die honest home dealer? Have you ever "caught" your home dealer in giving you "thirteen pounds, eight ounces" for fifteen pounds V Did you ever stop to think that your "dishonest' home dealer cannot make as low prices on some things as catalogue houses do, be cause, first, be gives honest weight; sec­ ond, he pays the freight; third, because you don't pay him from one to three weeks in advance, but very often ask him to charge a five cent sal&; fourth, because you don't give him a chance to sell you a large quantity at one time and for cash. Would it not be a good idea, then, when you want to send an­ other order to a mail order house to let your home dealers figure on it, of course on the same terms that the mail order houses make, CASH. GIVE YOUR HOME DEALER A CHANCE. A band concert and basket social will be held in the M. W. A. hall at Ring- wood Friday evening, Oct. 18, for the benefit of the Ringwood band.

The auction sale of the Riverside House furniture brought out a large number of people last Wednesday Thurs­ day and Friday. Nearly everything, with the exception of the beds and din­ ing room tables, was disposed of. Mr. and Mrs. Inness will leave the latter part of this month for Chicago, where they have rented a hotel on the South Side. The board of directors of the Hunter* Weckler Boat company held its an­ nual meeting in the main offices of the company last Monday and elected offic­ ers for the ensuing year. Everett Hunt­ er was elected to the offices of president and treasurer, and M. E. Robinson will attend to the duties assigned to the vice- president and secretary. The company is in a flourishing condition. The Lily Lake and West Fremont baseball teams met at the latter team's grounds last Sunday afternoon to battle for honors. The Lily Lake team was victorious by the score of 18 to 9. Miss­ es Clara Wbrts, Til lie Wegener, Anna Freund, Eva Miller of Lily Lake and Misses Gertrude Althoff and Delia Nie- sen of Johnsburgh were among the principal rooters for the victorious boys. The rottenest ever was produced by a company of wonld-be actors at the Cen­ tral last Sunday evening. The way the participants murdered the pastoral com­ edy, "A Country Girl," was a disgrace to the profession. The inexperience of the company was evidenced from the moment the curtain arose. Their make­ up, if such it may be termed, acting and general knowledge of the profes­ sion was a fake. We can see their fin­ ish.

"My dear old mother, who is now eighty-three years old, thrives on Elec­ tric Bitters," writes W. R. Brunson of Dublin, Ga. "She has taken them for about two years and enjoys an excellent appetite, feels strong,and sleeps well." That's the way Electric Bitters affect the aged, and the same happy results follow in all cases of female weakness and general debility. Weak, puny chil­ dren, too, are greatly strengthened by them.

How much nearer to each otheT the nations of the world are today than they were a few decades ago! When weeks and months were required to get news from across the ocean the old world seemed a long way off. Now the whole earth is belted with telegraph and cable lines, and yesterday's happen­ ings in Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, Australia and the islands of the seil are read at this morning's break­ fast table. Distance is annihilated and the nations are becoming friendly neigh­ bors in consequence. The marvelous change is brought home to the mind most strikingly upon reading a great modern newspaper whose telegraphic news covers the whole world each day-- a paper such as the Chicago Record- Herald, which has a vertable army of correspondents in every important city. In addition to its own staff of corre­ spondents the Record-Herald has the benefit of the foreign ngws service of the New York Herald, famous for its world wide cable system and for the reliability of its foreign news; also that of the New York World and the New York Journal of Commerce, besides that great ,co operative news-gathering organization, the Associated Press. Out of Sight. ^ "Oat of sight, oat of mind," is an old saying which applies with special force to a sore, burn or wound that's been treated with Bucklen's Arnica Salve. It's out of sight, out of mind and out of existence. Piles, too, and chilblains dis­ appear under under its healing influence. Guaranteee by N. H. Peteqch, F. Mas- quelet, McHenry; G. W,- Besley, West McHenry, druggists. 25c. Why Colds Are Dangerous. Because you have contracted qrdinary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kihd, do not imagine for a moment that colds are not danger­ ous. Everyone knows that pneumonia and chronic catarrh have their origin in a common cold. Consumption is not caused by a cold, but the cold prepares the system for the reception and devel­ opment of the germs that would not otherwise have found lodgment. It is the same with all infections ^diseases. Diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles and whooping cough are much more likely to be contracted when the child has a cold. You will see from this that more real danger lurks in a common cold than in any other of the common ailments The easiest and quickest way to cure a cold is to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The many remarkable cures effected by this preparation have made it a staple article of trade all over a large part of the world. For sale by all druggists. Fanners Should Know What it is that is used by every mem­ ber of the family; helps cure the sick horse; finds the stray cow; locates hired help; gives market quotations and weather forecasts; connects the farm house with neighbors and village mer­ chants. Is it not the telephone? When the cost is only a few cents per day can a farmer afford to live without it? Is it not a saving to him Should he not order now before the winter sets in? Chicago Telephone Company. Vor Chronic Diarrhoea. "While in the army in 1863 I was tak­ en with chronic diarrhoea," says George M. Felton of South Gilson, Pa. "I have since tried many remedies but without any permanent relief until Mr. A. W Miles of this place persuaded me to try Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar­ rhoea Remedy, one bottle of which stopped it at once." For sale^iy all druggists.

What to Do. * 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 thfc most distressing cases.

It is suggested that Thanksgiving day be changed from Thursday to Saturday, in order that people may have two days instead of one for home visiting, and that the festival be transferred from November to October, in order that it may be made distinctively a day of thanksgiving for the bounties of the earth. How do you vote? That business at the brick yard is booming can be seen at a glance by vis­ iting the yard. The last kiln burned has been nearly all sold and shipped, and we learn that parties were here from Chicago Monday morning and wished to contract for 400,000, to be de: li'/ered on board of cars as soon as they could be burned. There is no trouble in selling all the brick that can be made as they are pronounced by all who 1 them as second to none. Hard Times In Kansas.
