Ben Ellsworth was a member of the Woodmen, in which he carried life insurance for $1,000, and when he was murdered at Woodstock in February. 1902, tbe order held up tbe claim for in­ vestigation, but now pays the sam^. Doubtless it will go to the son, who is a life prisoner at Joliet. A lady living in the country says that a short time ago she was awakened about three o'clock in the morning by a furious ring of the telephone bell. Feel­ ing from the wildness of the ring that somebody was bleeding to death or that somebody's house was on fire, she scamp­ ered down stairs, and nervously seized the receiver, only to hear a shrill so­ prano voice shriek: "Gtotvonr washin' done yet? Had mine oat half an honr ago." A newspaper man is an enemy to bulletin board advertising on general principles, bat there are occasions when a bulletin board may bring better re suits than a paper. Tbe editor of an exchange remarks that he observed one in front of a store in his city not long ago, which read: 'jBe 4 U Buy Pants Come in and See Oars." He went in and there was not a confounded man clerk in the store so he bought a fan and walked out. ; Nunda Herald: Dr. F E Russell of Chicago, a graduate with the class of '97 of the Northwestern Denial school, has located in Nunda for the practice of his profession, He has fitted np dental parlors over the store of Ben Throop, and may be found there dnring regular office hours.

Walworth Correspondent to Harvard Herald issue of Dec 1: The village board at its last meeting passed an ordinance for the protection of Walworth mer­ chants A license fee of $30 a day must be paid by "one-day-only" merchants. The city dads believe the business of Walworth belongs to its business men, and with that end in view a tariff that protects has been enacted. To avoid payment of the license fee by a person who desires to do business in Walworth he must become a bona fide resident of the village by giving a bond in the sum of $500 that he will remain in business not less than six months. We di>ubt if there is a village or city in Wisconsin that has a more drastic ordinance in support of home merchants. 3M Wk ftttsb elfect lifflftfntr the time to seven hoars in which the rural mail carriers can make their de­ liveries on circuits of twenty-five miles. Heretofore the time has been eight hoars. Except * hen the roads are in bad condition it is tnought that the sev­ en hoar limit is sufficient to enable them to complete the circuit provided have good horses. If the animals in use cannot make the time it will be necessary to purchase faster steeds. In case of bad reads, such as experienced in winter, the excuse will be sufficient to allow more time. The order will in no way affect the pay of tbe carriers, nor does it affect the Nunda carriers, who ma^e the trip in lees times even in the winter months. Grip Quickly Knocked Oat. "Some weeks ago during xhe severe winter weather br th my wife and my­ self contracted severe coldsjvhich speed­ ily developed into the wore} kind of la grippe with all its miserable symptoms," says Mr. J. S. Egleston of Maple Land­ ing, Iowa. "Knees and joints aching, muscles sore, head stopped op, eyes and nose rnnning, with alternate spells of chills and fever. We began using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, aiding the same with a dose of Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets, and by its liberal nse soon completely knocked oat the grip." It is » good plan to take a dose of the tablets when yon have a cold. They promote a healthy action of the bowels, liver and kidneys which is al. ways beneficial when the system is con­ gested by a cold or attack of the grip. For Bale by all druggists.
