ONE of the greatest frauds upon the citi-
zens of the State is the frequent change in
school books. This is no doubt often done
by collusion between teachers or directors
and the publishers, who share the profits
from the introduction of the new books.
The action taken by the Legislature to Sc
cure uniform series of text books, for the
use Of schools throughout the State, will if
successful be very acceptable arrange
ment to parents and guardians. 1t will
not only prevent frequent changes, but will
enable persons to remove from one portion
Of the State to another without compelling
the purchase of new books and the per-
sons who most frequently remove are the
ones who are the least able to incur such
expense.

Among some Of the corporations in the
State, strong opposition has been made
against the act regulating actions of various
corporations. The clause that excites the
most opposition is one that prohibits anv
corporation engaged in manufacturinS
mining, etc, from dealing in merchandise
or from allowing the same TO be done on
any lands possessed by them. If this act
becomes law, it will close the stores of ali
such corporations in the State, and give
their employees the chance to spend their
wages wherever they may choose.
The act to COMPEL parents and 0uar-
dians to send children to school at least
twelve weeks each year, was defeated in

Hack, Hack ! Cough, Cough

Cough is symptom by which various
diseased conditions of the throat, bronchial
tubes and lungs manifest themselves. But
whether it arises from the irritation produ-
ced in the throat and larynx by talcing cold,
from an attack of Bronchites, from incipient
Consumption, or from various other causes,
nothin will allay it more permanently than
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.
1t does not matter whether it be recent at
tack, or lingering cough, the Discovery
is in either case equally well adapted for its
relief and permanent cure. In fact, it will
cure cough in one-half the time necessary
to cure it with any other medicine, and it
does it, not by drying it up but by remove
ing the cause, subduing the irritation, and
healing the affected parts. No time should
be lost in commencing the use of a proper
medicine for the relief Of Cough, for un-
less this course is pursued, serious and dan
gerous disease of the lungs is liable to
result.

AIN KILLER.

after thorough trial by innumerable living wit
nesses, has proved itself The Medicine of The
Age. 1t is an internal and external remedy.
One positive proof of its efficacy is, that its
sales have constantly increased, and wholly
upon its own merits. The effect ofthe
PAIN KILLER
upon the patient when taken internally, in case
of Cold, Cough, Bowel Complaint, Cholera,
Dysentery, and other Affections of the system,
has been truly wonderful, and has won for it a
name among medical preparations that can
never be forgotten. It's success in removing
pain as an external remedy,in cases of Burns,
Bruises, Sores, Sprains, Cuts, Stings of Insects,
and other causes of suffering, has secured for
It such host of testimony, as an infallible
remedy, that 1t will be handed down to posteri-
ty as one of the greatest medical discoveries Of
the nineteenth century.
THE PAIN KILLER
derives much of its popularity from the sim
plicity attending its use, which gives 1t a pecu-
liar value in family. The various diseases
cipient stages eradicated, are among those
which are peculiarly fatal If suffered to run;
but the curative magic of this preparation at
once disarms them of their terrors. In all re-
spects 1t fulhlls the conditions of popular
medicine.
Be sure you call for and get the genuine Pain
Killer,as many worthless nostrums are attempt
ed to be sold on the great reputation of this
valuable medicine.

THE VETERANS OF MEXICO.
Tribute OF Respect the Late Judge
Milligan.

The regular monthly assemblage of
Associated Veterans Of 1862 took
place Saturday night at Masonic Hall,
and was we'll attended-psrhaps thirty
members being present-notwithstanding
the t~hreatning weather. General J.. W.
Denver presided, aided by Mr.. A. NJ.
Keuaday, as secretary. The proceedings
will be found to be interesting.
During the r%oll-call of members Of the
association, when the secretary reached
the name of Samuel Milligan, the presi'
dent General Denver) announced with
much feeling that Judge Milligap, would
never again respond to the r%oll>call here.
His earthly career, always distinguished
for uprightness and honor, terminated OF
the goth Of April-since the date of last
meeting Of the association-and he has
gone to ''that bourne from whence NO
traveller returns" where, said the speaker
no one can doubt who knew his generous
soul, he will enjoy the reward due to his
great merits. As one of the Judges Of
the United States Court of Claims, he
had achieved a reputation in his profess
sion of the law which commanded the
respect of his brethren, who have hereto-
fore publicly testified their high apprecla.
ton of his worth. 1t remains only for
us to add our humble tribute of respect
to his memory in connection with his
military services in his younger days.
General Denver stated that Judge
Milligan served as a major in the army
during the Mexican war, being commits
stoned as such by President Polk in 1874,
and continued in service till hostilitiCs
ceased. When the national convention
assembled here in January, Judge NJ,
promptly came forward, like other dis.
tinguished gentlemen in high official posi-
ton, and enrolled himself as a supporter
and advocate of the cause of the old
soldiers who served with him tw~enty>sever
years ago. He participated in the pro-
ceedings of the convention which memori'
allied Congress for a pension to the sur
%vivors, and this act illustrates the generous
and noble characteristics of his nature.
President Denver moved 'that the
secretary be directed to convey to the
family of Judge Mllligan the assurance
Of our heartfelt sympathy in their grief =

A Temperance Stsry.

The Louisville Commercial says
There lives in the vicinity of Jeferson>
vile a big, fat man. We never saw him
on a pair of hay scales, but we judge he
would pull down about 250. The old
gentleman is in the habit of coming to
the city occasionally, and sometimes gets
more aboard than he is able to carry con-
veniently. He had q f~avorite horse.
which he usually brought to town, but,
on one occasion, broke loose from his
hitchings, went home and left his owner
at a tavern. The family of the old man
had been busy of late trying to induce
him to give up his love for beer. To this
end prayers were offered up and impor>
t%unities made, but they seemed to have lit
tie effect. A few days ago he was CON-
ing to the city, and he ordered hat his
horse should be left in the stable and the
old family mare put to the buggy
Climbing in the old gentleman pursued
his way quietly until he arrived at the
first saloon on the route. Here be made
an effort to halt, but the old mare de,
clined to respond to the pull of the reins.
When urged to halt, she tried to kick
the front part Of the buggy out. She
was permitted to have her own way, but,
when an effort was made to halt her at
the next drinking place, she again revol>
ted against authority, and wouldn't stop.
And, during his entire trip, he was un.
able to induce the old mare to wait until
he could get a drink. She would stop
anywhere except at a place where spirits
were sold. Being of a superstitious turn
of mind, the old gentleman thought he
saw a warning in the actions of the mare,
and he has resolved to give up drinking,
There is rejoicing in the family Of the fat
man at this happy turn of circumstances:
The mare has probably caught the TEN.
