R. More Curative power is contained in Hood's Sarsaparilla than in any other similar preparation. It costs the proprietor and manufacturer more. It costs the jobber more, and It is worth more to the consumer. More skill is required hi its preparation and it combines more remedial qualities than any other medicine.

Consequently it has a record of more cures and its sales are more than those of any other preparation. Hood's Sarsaparilla is the best medicine to buy because it is an honest medicine and thousands of testimonials prove that it does actually and permanently cure disease. In Memoriam.

In the full tide of summer outings with its flow of pleasure seekers and its crowds of sportsmen everywhere, there is unhappily always something to happen that mars its enjoyment. The right thing never seems to happen at the right time, and every sportsman and athlete knows that an accident is apt to throw him eut just when he hopes to do his best. Sprains, bruises, hurts, soreness and stiffness from sudden cooling off, and very often rheumatism or neuralgia put in their worst strokes of pain, even when it Is the hot test. St. Jacobs Oil is most active in its certain cure of all these troubles at this time.

She was twice married, and lived for some years at Rockford, and went to Black Hawk, Colorado, in 1859, from whence she came here. The late Judge Wilkinson, Probate Judge of this County, married her daugh ter. Mrs. Wilkinson has cared for her during her illness. Mrs.

For yon know that indigestion makes poison, which causes pain and sickness. And that Shak-ker digestive Cordial helps digestion and cures indigestion. Shaker Digestive Cordial does this by providing the digestive materials in which the sick stomach is wanting.

It also tones np and strengthens the digestive organs and makes them perfectly healthy. This is the rationale of its method of cure, as the doctors would say.

Xrvin, of Highland, delivered a short address. Charles Jackson was born in Washington County, Tennessee, in February, 1830, and settled on a claim near his late home in 1858, where he pre-empted a quarter section. He married Hiss Eliza Jane Miner, March 1, 1860, by whom be had six children, one girl and five boys. The girl died in Infancy. September 1, 1862, he enlisted in the 13th Kansas infantry, with which regiment he served nntil July 1, 1864, when he was honorably discharged at Little Rock, Ark.

Returning to bis farm he engaged in the raising and feeding of stock, and was widely known in this capacity. He was the owner at the tlmetof his death of about a section of land at the great bend of Wolf River. He was a quiet, unassuming, benevolent man, never failing to give assistance to the needy. This latter quality gained for him the distinction of having paid more security debts than any other man in the County. Something to Depend On.

Mr. James Jones, of the drug firm of Jones A Son, Cowden, 111., in speaking of Dr. King's New Discovery, ays that last winter his wife was attacked with La Grippe, and her case grew so serious that physicians at Cowden and Pana could do nothing for her. Having Dr. King's New Discovery in store, and selling lots of it, he took a bottle home, and to the surprise of all she began to get better from the first dose, and half a dozen dollar bottles cured her sound and well.

Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs, and Colds is guaranteed to do this good work. Try it. Free trial bottles at the Drug Stores of D. C.

Dr. Parker was formerly a citizen of Troy, and is here visiting relatives and Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear.

There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous linng of the Eustachian Tube. When this tub gets inflamed yon have a rambling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

living at Troy Junction, who had just returned from St. Joe in a state of intoxication, sat down on a tie on the Grand Island track near the Junction, and fell asleep. While asleep, the Grand Island passenger tra'n No. 1 came along, and it being dark, he was not seen until the train was right on him, when the step of one of the coaches struck him under the arm and rolled him down the bank without awaking him. He was only aroused when some men picked him up to take him home.

Dr. Dinsmore was called, and soon decided that there was no serious harm done. The train had slowed down in order to make the usual stop at the station, otherwise Bob never would have waked up. He is still sore and will be for several days yet. He blames no one but himself for his ill luck.

McCormiok, Severance. pgr- Fire broke out in the old coal house In the Court yard, Thursday forenoon, and burnt several valuable loads of several rakes and hoes, besides the building. About a dozen trees were killed by the fire. The heat was very great, and some of the woodwork of the Court House was endangered for a while. The fire is supposed to have been started by some children playing with matches.
