I have a few words to say regarding Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It tfaved my little boy's life and I feel that I cannot praise it enough. I bought a bottle of it from A. E. Steere of Good­ win, S. D., and when I got home with it the poor baby could hardly breathe. I gave the medicine aB directed every ten minutes until he "threw up" and then I thought snre he was going to choke to death. We had to pull the phlegm out ef his month in great long strings. 1 am positive that if I had not got that bottle of cough medicine, my boy would not be on earth today.-- JOEL DEMONT, Inwood, Iowa.

Luckily no one was hurt but Mr. Johonnott's carriage was badly demoralized. The many friends of Miss Alice Carey w ere grieved to hear of her death that occurred last Friday evening. Alice Carey was born March 6. 1878, and died Jan. 10. 1902, of conjestion of the brain, being 28 years 10 months and 4 days old. Her health has been poor for the last two years, and though friends noted failing strength, yet she was not considered to be so low until the last few weeks when it was impos­ sible for her to take nourishment of any nature. She was born on the Carey farm two miles east of the village and has grown to womanhood, loved, re spected and admired by all as a faithful daughter and sister and a true friend. Her ideals were high and always lived up to. She attended the Creek school until the winter of 1897 and 1898 when she attended high school at Racine. The following year she taught in the Bell district north of Ringwood. The funeral was held at McHenry Suuday. Beautiful flowers from the friends and neighbors were sent as a token of the esteem in which she was held. Tne bearers were chosen from among her young friends and were Harold Colby, John Westlake, Warren Pierce, Chester Stevens, James Bell and Wm. Lichty. The utmost sympathy is extended to the son owing family and may the Heavenly Father sustain them in their hour of trial. We wish to thank the kind friends and neighbors who so willingly assisted us and for the tributes so kindly ten­ dered. Mr.and Mrs. Wm.Carey and family.
