No. 1-District No. 80 Us. Reputation.

No. 1-Distyict No. 80 Us. Reputation.
The Goth school district i'm Popville
had q set of officers who believed in
placing every dollar of the school mon
ey, that they could handily, where it
would "do the most good" to their
pockets. The township officers of Pop
vile were governed by the same prin-
ciple in regard to town finances. 1t
was "nip and tuck" to seek who could
issue the most orders. Ofcourse, under
the existing laws, Popville had the adj
vantage of No. 90. Asa result Popville
swallowed up No. 99's income annually,
and still cried for more. The order
business was worked down to n system.
How to get the most orders out of any
given job, and sell the orders at less
shave than 80 per cent was the study.
For time the business flourished. 1t
was fine thing for the order holders
and brokers, but death to Popville and
No. 90 finances. No. 80 found itself at
last the creditor of Popville to the tune
of several hundred dollars. The mar
ket for orders became dull. In order to
sustain its school, No. 90 was forced to
pay large price to teachers, to cover
the shave on the inevitable orders is
sued as pay. This, also, began at last
to be very unsatisfactory. The people
complained of high wages to teachers,
and high taxes to build school houses,
&c. The taxes were levied and paid,
but somehow the school houses never
were finished. The trouble was--lack
Of ready money. There was too much
order and not enough cash. 80
At last the teachers, the school house
contractors, and In short, everyone,
began to shake their heads when re-
quested to''take orders.u The question
then arosc-"How shall we got down
to cash basls?v Long the officers
pondercd over this vexing question.
Members of Congress never taxed their
ponderous brains more over national
| finances than did the heroes of 80 over
their "cornern on orders. Something
must be done. When things had come
to the pass that officers Of 80 couldn't
get penny Of cash for their services,
! the case was indeed serious. u dldwf

Business for Ladies.

Our attention has been called to a
n wv article for the use of ladies'. the
invention of which has conferred an
ev. riasting blessing upon every lady.
We refer to the Queen City skirt slis-
pcnders for supporting ladies, skirts,
the most desirable and beneficial ar
ticle ever Invented for the relief oi
women, many Of whom have sufierd
years Of miserable health caused solely
by carrying the weight of number oi
heavy skirts, completely dragging
them down. Something to support
ladies clothing Is absolutely necessary.
These suspcnders are recommended by
our leading physicians to all ladies
and young girls. Every lady should
have them. They are sold only through
lady agents. A splendid opportunity
Is offered to some reliable lady can-
vasser of this county to secure the
agency for u pleasant and profitable
business. For terms and territory
write ut once to the Queen City Sus-
pentler Company, 27S Clark street,
Cincinnati, q.

A few days ago lady In the Sixth
Ward was making molasses candy for
her children. While removing the
melted liquid from the stove, her little
bow i'm his haste to obtain his portion,
stumbled against his mothers elbow,
upsetting the dish over her hand, burn
ing her hand In u frightful manner.
She Immediately wrapped her hand up
in a cotton handkerchief and saturated
ii with bottle of Wolcott's Pain Paint,
keeping il constantly wet with the
remedy. The result was more than
wonderful; 1t not only stopped all pain
i'm q very short time, but her hand did
not even blister, and the next day was
apparently as well as ever, with the ex-
ception of two small places where the
skin was actually burned off at the
time of the accident. She says that
with this remedy, she never fails in
removing Headache, TOothache and
Neuralgia within few minutes by an
outward application; besides curing
rheumatism, healing Ulcers and sores
of long standing, without causing any
pain in its direct application; on the
contrary, producing q very cooling
and soothing effect to all inflamed sur
faces.
This isremedy-"Wolcotp PainPaint"
has been before the public for many
wears, and is well known for its re-
markal,le powers as a healing agent:
For the benefit of our readers we would
say that this Medicine Is manufactured
nv r. T.. Woldott, 63 COrtlandt street,
New York, and sold by all druggists.

The Curse Of Americans is Impetuyity.

We cannot do anything moderately.
We don't take time to eat or drink.
When the season Of social gatherings
comes on in Winter, we rush from ono
to another, night after night, until we
become tired out and the system Is run
down. In Summer we fly to the wa-
tcring places and idle away our time In
luxury. No wonder that we become
"blaze" In middle life. Then we try
medicines to recuperate, and often re-
sort to unfortunate stimulation in the
vain hope of wOoing back our youthful
energies. Every European secs this.
AS things are, the best remedy, when
the physical powers begin to decline,
Is the PERUVIAN SYRUP, which has for
many years been used In exactly this
direction. 1t Is the best tonic known
to man and the least injurious. 1t re-
stores wasting energies, strengthens the
system against the insidious maladies
which are induced by weakness, and
builds up the system properly and ef-
fectively. Sold by dealers generally.

We hear of q school district I'm this
county, where q teacher accepted pay
In an 'srder," for teaching; sold the
''Order'' at a shave of SO. Afterwards
the district officers paid the So a second
time to the teacher, to make good the
loss from the shave. We don't wonder
that the people complain about "no
meney In the district to pay teachers
with" Now, elect those school officers
to township offices, this Spring; and
next Fall promote them to county OFF,
ces. In the meantime fill the air with
complaints of heavy taxes, bankrupt
school and township treasures. There
Is nothing like consistency, in this
world. 1t Is jewel.
Last week man over In the vicinity
of Chase swsre out warrant against
young fellow stopping down some-
where in Barry county. The charge
was petty larceny -appropriating a
suit of clothes. The Sheriff arrested
the young man, brought him to Bald
win, where the trial took place before
Campbell, without jury, and was all
over before the prisoners counsel ar
rived. AS near as we can learn, the
performance resulted in costs, which
the taxpayers will probably have to
pay.
We are "inhationists, "gold bugs"
''silver worms" or most anything else,
when it comes to receiving pay on sub
scriptiOns. We take greenbacks, gold
or silver, at par, at all hours of the day
or night. Now don't all come upon US
at once. Our office is quite limited in
its proportions, and will not accOmmo-
date more than half the population of
the State at one time.

II Remarkable Result.

1t makes no difference how many
physicians, or how much medicine you
have tried, it Is now M established fact
that German Syrup is the only remedy
which has given complete satisfaction
i'm severe cases of Lung Diseases. 1t Is
true there are yet thousands Of persons
who are predisposed to Throat and
Lung Affections, Consumption, Hem
orrhagcs, Asthma, Severe Colds settled
OH the Breast, Pneumonia, Whooping
Cough, &C., who have no personal
knowledge Of Boschee's German Syrup.
To such we would say that 81, 900 dozen
were sold last year without one COM
plant. Consumptives try just one bot
tie. Regular size 75 cents. Sold by all
Druggists i'm America.
