store. In 1900 he was elected

tions, and on account of his con-
duct the council brought impeach-

the effort to impeach was made,
Riggins carried the matter to tho
higher courts, and the council
won. Riggins was originally
from Missouri.

BUFFALO ARE BARRED

mouth disease in some of the Now

"Tfoolswsrd HOP.
Tho readers of this paper will
be pleased to learn that there|is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is catarrh.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is tbe only
positivo euro known to tho medi-
cal fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires'a
constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blootl
and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tem, thereby destroying the foun-
dation of the disease and giving
the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith in
its curative powers that thoy offer
One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send
for list of testimonials.
Donation Acknowledged
The Charity Committee takes
pleasure in acknowledging the re-
ceipt of a donation of $10 from
I. O. O. F. of McKinney. The
committee will have urgent need
for much more funds than thoy
now have, and call on all gener-
our hearted peoplo to add to this
fund. T. C. Goodner, Ch'm.
It will be good news to the
mothers of small children to learn
that croup can be prevented. The
first sign of croup is hoarseness.
A day or two before the attack
the child becomes hoarse. This
is soon followed by a poculiar
rough cough. Give Chamber-
lain s Cough Remedy freely as
soon as the child becomes hoarse,
or even after the rough cough ap-
pears, and it will dispel all symp-
toms of croup. In this war all
dangor and anxiety may be avoid-
ed. This remedy is used by many
thousands of mothere and has
never been known to fail. It is,
in fact, the only remedy that can
always be depended upon and
that l? pleasant and safe to take.
