Reprint, News-Herald: "There Is at least one effectual, safe and reliable Cough Cure-rPr- Shoop's--that we re­ gard as suitable, even for the yonngeet child. For years, Dr. Shoop bitterly opposed the use of opiates or narcotics in medicine, offering $10 per drop to anyone finding Opium, Chloroform or any other poisonous omarcotic ingredi­ ent in Dr. Shoop's Cough Cure. And the challenge is as yet unanswered. Here is one manufacturing physician who welcomed with much satisfaction the new Government Pure Food and Drug Law.

Wauconda correspondent to Liberty- ville Independent: An inquisitive young gent of this place ran about as near to eternity Monday evening as he will care to come for some time. He conceived in his massive brain the very brilliant idea of peering into people's windows at about the hour of retiring and was seen by members of one family who summoned a brother. The brother appeared upon the scene with a shot gun and fired at the fleeing culprit, the charge him by about six inches. Falling to down his man, the brother started In hot pursuit and, overtaking WP, choked the said inquisitive person without tft^-g the trouble to ascertain his identity. Then with a touch of kindly advice, emphasised by a sufficient number of explanatory remarks, started the gaper on his homeward path, which we hope will be a^mtk of right­ eousness henceforth. flenty Knaack entered room Monday. - A certificate of credits allowed the high school by the state university is an addition to tne wall of room 6.

A pleasant idea was very successfully carried out at the parlors of the Univer- salist ohurch on Tbrtlsgiting day, and that was a union Thanksgiving din­ ner. Thirty-five friends let down to as fine a Thanksgiving dinner as ever graced a table. Nothing was lacking, from soup to fruit, and with three carv­ ers to attend to the demands of the ap­ petite, it is safe to say that no one left the table hungry. The tables were very tastefully arranged and decorated, au­ tumn leaves, fruit and flowers combin­ ing to make the event a ' 'thing 6f beau­ ty4" if not "a joy forever." Many bands made light work and those who conceived the idea and so successfully and pleasantly carried it ont feel that the effort was well worth while and may be repeated another year.

To THE EDITOR: On the Sttd in­ stant I received the expected word from W. W.Gardner, vice president of "the North-Western Railway, and went im­ mediately to see the plans for the new station building. The first tiling that caught my eye was tiie commodious platform between th#track and the building---2U feet I reoalled the damage done to the win­ dows in the present building by passing snow plows, and mentioned the fact. Next I saw that the plans called for a building only 80 feet wide and sug­ gested 85 or 40 as being, more nearly adequate. The gentleman smiled. Then I asked, Isn't this designed for a frame building? He replied, Certain­ ly, what do you want? I told him we wanted a red pressed brick building with stone trimmings and slate roof. Again he smiled and said that onr ideas were far in advance of our require­ ments, to Which I replied that such was not the case, but that the North-West­ ern was so far behind the times that they failed in appreciating our wants and conditions. I must say, however, that I was obliged to capitulate when I told him that our village had no estab­ lished datum, no grade level nor system of sewerage, and that the toilet rooms shown in the plans could not be used. The space occupied by them wis ihen thrown into the waiting rooms, isaktng the women's room 80x48 and the men's, 80x50. In the plans the latter is only 80x87. The track east of the present depot is to be removed and the building removed one block south for a freight house. The suggested new building is about 144 feet long and divided into the two waiting rooms, with, ticket office be­ tween, and a large baggage room at the soutaiend, then a platform mads of brick^in lieti of which I suggested con­ crete )jfc boot 40 feet wide and roof-oov- ered/said roof projecting far enough to protect those alighting from carriages in rainy weather. I urged immediate construction, but was told that that was not possible, bit that he would promise to start work early next spring. Upon leaving the gentleman he said he wonld like to have me call again during February, and that he was inclined to give us the brick building as requested, grant us a park west of tbe building, a concrete platform and more nearly meet our desires. In the meantime I am gathering data for presentation the--next time I meet him. I feel satisfied now that the jbuilding should be 40 feet wide to ac­ commodate our summer travel. Some have urged track and building elevation: this, of course, eliminatee the dangerous street crossing, but it has many points of disadvantage. If the reader has any suggestions to make, I will note all desirable featuves and urge their adoption. In this connection I recall that some five years ago I urged upon tbe village board the adoption of a grade level, building ordinance and fire ordinance, but not enough was thought of the sng gestion to even merit a reply; but now that the village is laying permanent sidewalks, I think all will agree that the streets would present a neater and more orderly appearance if they were all on a level. . ' , Finally, the tillage ought to be turn ing its attention to the future construc. tion of a sewerage system leading to point below Hunter's dam, so that as the village grows Its sewage will not find its way into the river above that point. Polluted water is not very tempting to summer resorters, but is more inviting to pestilence. F. M.
