The Elks' carnival, last fall at Elgin, may be productive of a good sized dam­ age suit against the city. Edith Mullen, a 14-year-old girl, was nearly blinded one evening during the carniyal from the throwing of confetti. She has been under a doctor's care ever since and she may lose the sight of one of her eyes. F. W. Joslyn has been retaiued in the matter and he is considering whether or not to start suit. If suit iB started it is presumed the city will be protected, as before per­ mission was granted the Elks that or- gnnization was required to pur up a bond indemnifying the city against any damage that might result from the car­ nival. Tendency af the Timet. The tendency of medical science is toward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being giyen to the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has been fully demonstrated that pheumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medi­ cal men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough remedy. Pneumonia often re­ sults fr..m a cold or from an attack of influenza (grip), and it has been observed that this remedy counteracts any ten­ dency of the*e diseases toward pneu­ monia. Thin has been fully proven in many thousands of cases in which this remedy has b»*en used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied on with perfect confidence. Pneumonia often results from a slight cold u lien no danger is apprehended unt.i. it is suddenly discov­ ered that there is fever and difficulty in breathing and pains in the chest, then it is announced the patient has pneu­ monia. Be on "the safe side and take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon as the cold is contracted. It always cures. For sale by all druggists. HIGHWOOD EDITOR- 18 IT. Keeelves Beating and Office Wrecked by Irate Cltlseos. According to the Waukegan Gazette five citizens of High wood invaded the editorial chambers of the Highwood In­ dependent last Saturday and after ad­ ministering a severe beating to Richard Salyards, the editor, partly wrecked the establishment. Highwood is near Fort Sheridan and has become one of the worst hell holes on the map^ There are two factions in the town--one is anxious to reform con­ ditions while the other is responsible for the present state of affairs. It was for telling the truth about the latter that the editor was beaten. He will prob­ ably sue for damages. Escaped an Awful Fate. Mr. H Haggins of Melbourne, Fla.. writes. "My doctor told me 1 had Con­ sumption and nothing could be done for me. I was given up to die. The offer of a free trial bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, in­ duced me to try it. Results were start­ ling. I am now on the road to recovery aud owe all to Dr. Sing's New Discov­ ery. It surely saved my life."

Wor«e than an alarm of fire at night is the brassy cough of croup, which sounds like-the children's death knell, and it means death unless something is done quickly. Foley's Honey and Tar never fails to give instant relief and quickly cures the worst forms of croup. Mrs. P. L Cordier, of Mannington, Ky., writes: ' My three ytar old girl had^a severe case of croup; the doctor said she could not live. I got a bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar, the first dose gave quick relief and saved her life." Refuse sub­ stitutes. Sold by N. H. Petesch. W«t McHenry. IINMItttNMMtMl F. L.

Stomach and bowel troubles, severe as they are, give immediate warning by pain, but liver and kidney troubles, though less painful at tne start, are much harder to cure. Thedford'i Black-Draught never fails to bene­fit diseased liver and weakened kid­ neys. It stirs up the torpid liver t o throw off the germs of lever and It is a certain preventive °f cholera and Bright's disease of the kidneva. With kidneys re­ inforced by Thedford's Black- Draught thousands of persons have dwelt immune in the midst of yel­ low fever. Many families live in perfect health and have no other doctor than Thedford's Black- Draught. It is always on hand for use in an emergency and saves many expensive calls of a doctor. Mulliru, S.

That is, it takes three hours to make the run, a most exasperating trip, yet we must take this train or drive over to the M. 6 St. P. Thus we are driven from the road we most naturally patronize owing to the indifferonce of this old pioneer which is not making the time formerly made by the pristine relay syBtem of stage coaches. But while here there are other things to observe: You will learn that for nine tenths of the time a freight car is oyer the only side walk leadiDg to the station, never allowing more than twenty inches for one to pass aud frequently so placed that it is im­ possible to gain the platform without walking-in mud. A few weeks ago onr local paper stat­ ed thai on a certain Sunday evening 400 people sought transportation in a train well filled before it reached this station. It left here with all the aisles and plat­ forms crowded. At another time my son counted fourteen 'bus loads taken from the station. The traffic here at times is immense, and yet, for these patrons--few or many-- there is but one single, dirty, nnventilated, pestilen­ tial waiting room only 16x20 feet in size and not an inch of sheltered platform; rain or shine, we must take it till the crowd get aboard. Further, while at other places along the line the automatic electric gong an­ nounces the approach of trains, we are obliged to depend upon an already over­ taxed station agent to sound the alarm when he sees a train coming. Again, other stations along the way are prettily laid out with gravel walks and shrubbery and flowering plants, while this, one of the oldest and one contributing most largely to the income of the road, is allowed to become most unsightly and not a cent is ever spent upon it for "personal appearance" sake. In conclusion, sir, we hope the poineer road is not in its senility. That we may expect it to keep abreast of the times, we ask for transportation in 60 or 70 minutes from this point to the City. A 7 oclock Sunday evening train direct via Wisconsin Division. That the present depot be moved north of the road for a freight honse. That a new and com­ modious depot be erected with ample platform protection. That the lumber piles near the depot be removed and the grounds be properly laid out with grav­ el walks, shrubbery and flowers, befit- ing a great and liberal enterpr'se. Finally, I wish to state that for nine years and for seven months of each year I have made eight trips a week to and from this station and I believe if the Road made an effort to give us good service others would do as I do--transact busi­ ness in the city and return home at night Very Respectfully, F.
