A SUBSCRIPTION paper has bee J start­ ed in New Y«rk to raise funds to take care of tlJt sick and wounded soldiers in Africa. This is on a par with the for­ eign mission schemes which send vast Jfsums abroad, to convert the heathen and let the poor pilgrim next door starve to death. Why not lavish our long range charily, if it must be long range, on the American soldiers in the Philippines. Are they not as good as the Boers? SEVERAL, of the largest abandoned copper mines in eastern Maine will again be operated. The Maine copper mines were in successful operation in 1879 and showed good profits while cop­ per was quoted at 14 cents. The mines could also be operated on a paying basis with copper at 12 cents, but the crash came when the Wisconsin mines put down the price of copper to 8 cents. Now that copper is so high, it will be very profitable to mine it. All our farmer readerrfpionld take advantage of the unprecedented clubbing offer we this jfcar make^lptch includes with this paper. The Iowa Homestead, its Special Farmers' Institute editions, The Poultry Farmer and The Farmers' Mutual Insurance Journal ^hese four publications are the best of their class and should be in every farm home. To them we add for local*, county and gen­ eral news our own paper and make the irice for the five for one year $2.00. ever before was so much superior reading matter offered for so small an amount of money. The four papers named which we club with our own are well known throughout the West and commend themselves to the reader's favorable attention upon mere mention, The Homestead is the great agriculural and live stock paper of the West; The Poultry Farmer is the most practical poultry paper for the farmer published in the country; The Farmers' Mutual Insurance Journal is the special advo­ cate of farmers' co-operative associa­ tions, and the Special Farmers' Insti­ tute editions are the most practical pub­ lications for the promotion of good farm­ ing ever published. Take advantage of this great offer. tf. My son has been troubled for years with chronic diarrhoea. Sometime ago persuaded him to take some of Cham­ berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. After using two bottles of the 25-cent size he was cured. I give this testimonial, hoping some one similarly afflicted may read it and be benefitted.-- Thomas C. Bower, Glencoe, O. For sale by Julia A. Story. OUR exchanges regardless of politics are proposing candidates for state offi­ cers for the next election. The Henry Republican has this to say. "James •. Rose, secretary of state, seems to be getting an almost unanimous endorse­ ment from the Republican papers. If there is any opposition to his renomina- tion it is kept very quiet There is reason why any opposition to him should develop. He has made a popular and capable secretary of state and will make a strong candidate if renominated. His name will add strength to the ticket, he is one of the most energetic and suc­ cessful campaigners the state has pro­ duced in recent years." - - • Oar Army Mid Navy. until the close of the American war, which proved such a brilliant success for our Army and Na­ vy, did foreign powers appreciate the strength and stability of our engines of war. Not only did foreign countries watch the movements of our troops and ships with amusement, but our own people, right here at home, were sur­ prised to find that the United States possessed an army and navy of such strength and proportions. In one of the latest books to appear, entitled "The United States Army and Navy, 1776-1899," a grapic description of the operations of both branches of the service, from their inception to the close of the late war, is to be found. , It is a beautiful art edition, and no book so complete, both from a literary and ar tistic point of view, has ever been pub­ lished. The text is by eminent authorities in both branches, and was compiled after a careful research of all government re­ cords. The illustrations and there are 48 of them, full-page size, are the finest specimens of art ever placed in a book. The volume is published by the Wer­ ner Company, of Akron, Ohio, who are making a special offer to introduce it to the reading public. In another part of this issue will be found a more detailed description of the book and how it can be secured. tf. "Secrets of Success; or, Our Business Boys" by the Rev. Francis E.

The Kind You Haw Aiwa Signature A SURE CURE FOR CROUPl, twenty-five Tears' Constant Uae Wlthont a Failure. The first indication of cronp is hoarse­ ned, and in a child subject to that disease itj may be taken as a sure sign of the approach of an attack. Fol­ lowing this hoarseness is a peculiar rough cough. If Chamberlain-'s Cough Remedy is given as soon as the child be­ comes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is used in many thousands of homes in this broad land and never disappoints the anxious mothers. We have yet to learn of a single instance in which it has not proven effectual. No other preparation can show such a rec- or--twenty-five years' constant use without a failure. For sale by Julia A. Story.
