They at first denied th( officers an entrance but finally let them in after telling Belchei to run and hide. Belcher hid in the loft of th< house. One of the officers see ing his foot through an opening both seized hold and drug hirr lown. The whole Palmor< Family set upon the officers and Attempted to beat them dowr and free their prisoner. The debuty was forced t( shoot to free himself and hic shot it is believed pierced thi hand of old man Palmore.

Parkins, Don't Be MisI The retail druggists of thisi country, as a class, are noted for their high standard of intelli gence and honorable dealing, but it is a well known fact that occasionally you will find one who will try to sell you some f thing else when you call for a t remedy of established reputa f tion. He forgets that your health is more important than his pocketbook. For example, when you ask for Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy, don't let any druggist, drug clerk or store keeper persuade you into buying 1 something else in its place. Every time he succeed in selling you a worthless substitute he makes more profit, but you are humbugged at the expense of your health. For many years we have watched with much interest the remarkable record maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. From the very beginning, the proprietors had so much confi dence in it that they invited - every one to send for a sample bottle so that people could judge of its great curative value in even the most distressing cases of kidney liver and bladder trou bles. On another page of this paper on you will find a few of the letters, prompted by feelings of heart felt gratitude. that are constant- an ly coming to Dr. Kilmer & Com pany.

One season without shelu~ r will damage farm machinery more than the wear caused by its use during the season. The action of the weat] -er which will cause a rusting of the iron and steel, as well as the rotting of the wood parts, will seriously inter fere with the working of the machine when it Is again put to use. By this exposure certain parts are very much more weakened and the machine be comes of shorter life. A hot lemonade taken before going to bed will cure a cold on the lungs.
