THE ill-heath Of Speaker Kerr,
which seems to increase rather than
abate with his Speakcrship honors,
has given rise to a discussion as to
what is to be done in the event of his
inability to preside in the House. SO
seriously i'll was he on New Years
Day that Mrs Kerr, who had made
preparation to receive callers, was
compelled to decline. The talk at
Washington is that Mr.. Morrison, of
illinois, Chairman Of the great Com
mittee on Ways and Means, will be
elected Speaker pro tempore. In this
event the unSavory Fernando Wood
will become Chairman Of the Com
mittee of Ways and Means. The
victory which the country gained in
the election of Mr. Kerr is in danger
of being lost by the misfortune which
has overtaken him. His prostration
by ill-health may result in a national
calamity. The transfer Of Mr.. Nor
rison from the head Of the Committee
on Ways and Means to the Speakers
chair, as the election of Speaker
pro TEN. will probably become per-
manency, may Of itself make no seri-
Gus difference. On all questions of
politics he and Mr.. Kerr are agreed
lie is an honest man, opposed to all
steals and frauds; i far man, and
from experience and natural qualifica-

chair than for the arduous and intri-

Talk with parents about their children
Many parents can give you useful hints
about teaching. Urge the parents to send
their children to school regularly, and to
talk to them about their studies. Mark

The wonderful results ana immense sale
of HALE CoUGH CORDIAL the past season,
ought to convince the most skeptical; still
we are going to continue the same liberal
offer that we have hitherto, viz: Any per

throat, who will call at Tabor & Sons or

of HALE's CoUGH CORDIAL use one-half

doing them no good, they can return the
balance and receive back their money
Who would not test this medicine on such
liberal terms? No medicine ever sold in
this vicinity that produced such wonderful
results. All we ask is that you will try it

AT the States Teachers Associa-
ton at Burlington, last week, two
hundred teachers were present. Meas
urcs were taken to have Iowa schools
represented at the Centennial. Res
olutions were introduced looking to
change in the law, fixing the age
of children at SIX years instead OF
five; also for the appointment OF
'truant officers" TO look after children
who habitually play truant, and eth
er compel their attendance at school
or send them to the Reform School.

which he could be elected to Con

Kerr's health may be sufficiently re-
