Chamberlain'* Coagh Remedy a Safe Medicine for Children. In buying a congh remedy for chil­ dren never be afraid to buy Chamber­ lain's Cough Remedy. There is no dan­ ger from it, and relief is always sure to follow. It is intended especially for coughs, colds, croup and whooping cough, and there is no better ^medicine in the world for these diseases. It is not only a certain cure for croup, but, when given as soon as the croupy cough appears, will prevent the attack. Whooping cough is not dangerous when this remedy is given as directed. It contains no opium or other harmful drugs, apd may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult.

Frank Calkins, of Wsuconda, and JMies liffie C. Curtis, of McHenry. Died.--At his residence in this village, January 24, 1882. Lawrence Stoddard, 1n the 58th year of his age Mr. Stod­ dard was born at Amsterdam, Mont­ gomery county, New York, March IS, 1884. He lived there until the spring of 1856 when he moved to this country. In the fail of 18S9 he came to tbe village of McHenry, and has ttptded- here ever since with perhaps the absence of a few months in an adjoining county. Dar­ ing his residence hdre he has been en­ gaged in the mercantile business and few men were better known in this part of the country than irtr. Stoddard. His, health has been poor for years, but he has been able to attend to his business, and not even his moat intimate friends thought for a moment that he was in any danger. He was at his store all day the Saturday before he died. He has been a terrible but silent sufferer, prefering to bear his sufferings silently rather than pain his friends by their recital. A physician was called on Sunday, the 22nd, but could give him no relief, and on Tuesday he quietly passed away. He leaves a wife and four children, three daughters and one son, to monrn his loss, who have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire com­ munity in this, their sudden bereave­ ment J • Died.--In Mc^en^ January 28,1888, Mrs. Nancy Bresee, aged 88 years, 6 months and 9 days. Mrs. Bresee was born in Nelson, Cheshire county, New Hampshire, her maiden name being Nancy Beal. At the age of nine years she went with father's family to Ver­ mont and probably there learned the good lessons of economv, thrift and industry for which she had long been noted. In December, 1883, she was married to Isaac Bresee, and they lived in thfe Green Mountain state until the spring of 1864, when they came we&t and settled in this vioinity where she continued to reside to the time, of her death. She gave birth, to six children, all of whom lived to grow up, but only three of them, a son and two daughters, survive her. Her husband died in 1857 since which time she has bad a very pleasant home with her son and oldest daughter. She had always enjoyed good health nntil about four months prior to her death, and even then no wasting disease seized her, bnt her once vigorous constitution, now enfee­ bled by age, was rafclted by local difficul­ ties which probacy hastened her de­ mise. For the lastjfew days of her life her general health seeme^Lbetter than previously and the day of' ITer death she assisted in doing the morning 'work. The funeral was held at the Univer- salist church and Eld. Joseph Owen, of Fort Hill, conducted the services. i«»:a : TWWIfl M &toaed, with N. N. PETESCH, Wise Counsel Prom the South.

The Triumph of a New Idea. it has been a subject of comment that the usual features of the Sunday news- papers showed too little variety. A re­ cent departure in Sunday journalism has met with popular recognition and approval. The great illustrated week­ lies and monthlies no«longer have a monopoly over the periodical field. Oonan Doyle received $25,000 for the American serial rights of his last story, the highest price ever paid for similar lights* Anthony Hope, Jack London/ Sewell Ford and many other popular novelists contribute to the publication which set the pace by paying this rec ord price. Celebrated men and women write constantly for it on all subjects of timely interest. Clever verse, wit, humor and interesting miscellany com­ plete a most interesting table of con­ tents.

C. "I had run down in weight to 185 pounds, and coughing was constant, both 'bpilay and by night. Finally I began tftptag Dr. King's New Discovery and^ continued this for about six months, when my cough and lnng trouble were entirely gone and I was restored to my normal weight, 170 pounds."

Holly, a for­ mer resident of McHenry, who assumed the role of Sir Joseph Porter: "The role ofSir Joseph Porter, fiqgyidrd of the Admiralty, interpreted by A. Holly, the Republican-Journal fore­ man. Mr. Holly had given the part careful study, understood the role and acted it to perfection. He presented a commanding appearance and carried himself thruout with ease and grace. He has an even, clear baritone voice and his articulation was appreciated by the audience, whieh he captured at his first appearance." How to Avoid Pneumonia.
