The scalp law enacted by the last Legislature is very gratifying to the hunters and trappers, but the people in general do not seem to favor it. Word was received here several days ago that Robert P.

He-had been in very poor health for a long time, and went to Missouri in the hope that a milder climate would enable him to recover. Ifa cough once gets into your system it acts on every muscle and fibre of the body and makes you ache all over. It especially affects the intestines and makes you constipated, so in order to get rid of a cold thoroughly and with- out delay you should not take anything that will tend to constipate. Kennedy's laxative Cough Syrup acts upon the bowels and thereby drives the cold out of the system, It contains no opiates —it is pleasant to take and is highly rec- ommended for children. Sold by E.

It is very important and in fact it is absolutely necessary to health that we give relief to the stomach promptly at the first signs of trouble—which are belching of gas, nausea, sour stomaeh, headache, irritability and nervousness. These are warnings that the stomach has been mistreated ; it is doing too much work and it is demanding help from you. Take something once in a while; especially after meals; some- thing like KODOL For Dyspepsia and Indigestion. It will enable your stom- ach to do its work properly. Sold by E. H. Miller. 2-1 W. 8.

The editor is a very sick man this | week, suffering pains so intense as to be almost unindurable. He was taken sick Sunday night, and was unable to report at the office before Wednesday morning. In the evening his condition again became so serious that he was unable to get home without assistance. Since then he has heen suffering in- tensely. almost continually, and at present writing shows little or no sign of improvement.

T. Shoemaker, of Oklahoma City, accompanied by Mrs. D. H. Kelso, who has been down there nursing them during a spell of sickness, arrived Wednesday evening. They have both been in poor health for some time, and we hope the change of cli- mate and careful nursing will soon bring them again to the state of health that they enjoyed when they left this place several years ago.—Carleton (Neb.) Leader. - ~ “le WHY SUFFER FROM RHEUMA- TISM? Do you know that rheumatic pains can be relieved? If you doubt this, just try one application of Chamberlain’s Pain Balm.

Two undesirable citizens brought in- to our county have added another mur- der to the dark pages of Somerset county history. The assassin and his victim were colored miners, the dead man hailing from Johnstown, and the assailant from Tennessee. The murder occurred on Tuesday evening, shortly after six o’clock, in one of the houses owned by the Haws Coal Company, at Holsopple. The man alleged to have committed the murder gave his name as Charles Butler, and his victim was Frank Garfield. The men had been drinking during the af- ternoon, and shortly before the tragedy they quarreled about a colored woman, the murder following shortly after the trouble commenced. Garfield fell dead with a bullet in his head. Butler made his escape, but was ar- rested at Johnstown. He will be brought to Somerset for trial, says the Somerset Standard of last week.
