ItoE editor of the Algonquin Citizen was compelled to solicit advertising from Elgin merchants in order to make his paper pay, most of the business men of Algonquin being so short-sighted they cannot see the advantage of using printer's ink^ It was theonlything for the editor to do, but it shows up the w: p * :•!*'> vM' • :..i m\ - local merchants in a bad light Ad- fc/*1 *5 # 1/vertising-is the power that makes busi- !?•?

Elgin merchants know this and those of Algonquin will find it out sooner or later. i©'> MCCUTCHEON'S "Bird Center" car­ toons in the Chicago Tribune, depicting country life, arte nothing more or less than pictorial lies. They may serve to amuse a few Chicago people who have never been far enough away from home to know what rural life is, or to realize that there are some people with a fair amount of good sense even in the\ coun­ try. We would advise McCutcheon to spend a few months in the opek and give his mind a chance to broadeny He would then cease to depict country^ peo­ ple as back woodsmen of fifty years r. a v *1 l&ZS-'Ks m V!'

K. Granger by an explosion of gaa. The accident happened at about eleven o'clock this forenoon. At this time it is impossible to as­ certain how the accident happened. Mr. Schmidt and his helper, John Leickem, were making repairs on an acetylene gas machine and it is suppdeed that the gas was in some way ignited. Young Leiokem was badly cut and stunned and will probably be able to throw some light on the matter when he recovers. Schmidt received an ugly cut between the eyes and other bruises. But whether it was this cut or inhalation of gas or flames that caused his death is not known. The cor- onor has been summoned. John Leickem is out of danger, bttt has a bad cut under the chin which will give some trouble. He is now at the residence of F. K. Granger. ' IT is a fact that many farmers throughout the country are moving onto smaller farms, owing to their in ability to obtain suitable help. The young bucks who leave the farm, imag­ ining that the city holds forth greater inducements and better chances for a prosperous future, are not taking time to meditate over the matter. It is true that some of the boys become financiers •and successful business men or manu­ facturers. BufcJoek^at the vast army of men who have left their country homes and are now merely grinding out an ex­ istence (not a living--existing and living pre different) in factories, shops, and as cheap clerkB in department stores. These same men would gladly exchange positions with the farmer, but it is now too late. They are in the toils and must stick. Stick to the farm, boys, and enjoy real life. There will be no strike to deprive yon of your wages half the time. OSTMJJNl*. Beautiful fall yrsather with in oc­ casional shower More rain, with very hard thunder and lightning, the 6th of October.

After a 'boun­ tiful dinner the company adjourned to the parlor for a visit and listened to the young folks' concert Then came the oid folks' singing of the .old songs they loved so long ago. After spending a very pleasant afternoon all repaired to their homes, thinking: "When shall we all meet again?" While opening a box, J. C. Mount, of Three Mile Bay, N. Y„ ran a ten penny nail through the fleshy part of his hand. "I thought at once of all the pain and soreness this would cause me," be says, and immediately applied Chamberlain's Pain Balm and occasionally afterwards. To my surprise it removed all pain and soreness and the injured parts were soon healed." For sale by all druggists.

' Fill a bottle or common glass with your water and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or set­ tling indicates an unhealthy condi­ tion of the kid­ neys; if it stains your linen it is evidence of kid­ ney trouble; too frequent desire to pass it or pain in the back is also convincing proof that the kidneys and blad­ der are out of order. What to Do. v 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 the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists in 50c. and$l. sizes. You may have a sample bottle of this wonderful discovery and a book that tells more about it, both sent absolutely free by mail.
