A. MILLER, Washington Av, City. Dear Mellier
have for some years been troubled with Catarrh and
for the past two years have suffered seriously with It,
Noticing your advertisement of SANFoRDs REMEDY

two bottles and result feel so much relieved that
presume on our personal relations and write this to
you and ask that You take measures to get more
prominently before the public, that others may have
such relief rs have. have recommended 1t TO quite
a number of my friends, all of whom have expressed
me their high estimate OF its value and good effects
with them. 80
really think it particularly adapted TO wants of ST.
Louis people, and they all ought 10 know of IT, and
those who need 1t should try It, will risk the assertion
that 1000 walls las sampe) to be given away Will
sell as many bottles go ,
Try some plan Letthe people have i; they need It,
believe could sell 5000 bottles myself of course you
could largely increase this number Why not try IT?

He Played with the Elevator

Yesterday afternoon an accident oc-
Cured at the Clayton House, which
might have proven fatal, but for some
unforeseen circumstances.
James Wright, colored, is employed
at the Clayton House as waiter, and a new
hydraulic elevator has just been put in
the building, he desired to gain some in
sight into the workings Of the ''machine." J"
Accordingly he went to the rope, and
started the elevator on its upward trip,
and as it was going up, he, to gain bet
ter insight into its workings placed his
head in the door, and the first thing he
knew the elevator caught him by the
head and face. At the the time he had
hold of the rope, and as the elevator
squeezed him tighter he pulled on the
rope, and finally succeeded in stopping
its upward progress, otherwise he mighl
have minus a head. AS it was, he wa,
severely cut and bruised.
DIR. BlOcksom was called in ant
dressed his wounds, and this morning
he is doing as well as can be expected
Do not fool with an with an elevator.

THE SCHOOL ELECTION takes place
tomorrow afternoon. 1t is an important
matter. We have heretofore urged upon
the Board of Public Education the ne
cessity Of being more economical in its
expenditures. But the last Board SEEM
ed TO turn deaf ear to all entreaties in
this regard, and we hope that housekeep-
ers and parents will take this into con-
sideratiOn tomorrow, and vote accord
ingly. 1t is manifestly unfair that Will
mington should be made to expend as
much money for school purposes now as
during the years of imitation when the
necessaries Of life were nearly one-third
higher in price. During the present yeal
TO the 30th of June, the Board of Edu.
cation will have received from the city
S0O,OOO. This is about twenty-five thou.
sand more than they ever used before in
one year. The new Board should re
duce all expenses in proportion to the re
duction in all departments Of industry

How IsTHIs?-The Republican starts
out by saying "After all the GAZETTE
has come out strongly in favor of duels."
1t then, after good deal of soft talk,
adds, "the GAZETTE is opposed to duel
ling" SO 1t appears that that paper is
determined to be right, and to please us,
we presume, makes us in ''favor" and
"opposed" to duelling, all in the same
brief article. But it is careful not to
quote our words where we said we "did
not disapprove" of Logan's "discretion'
In not accepting loves challenge, ant
wrong in lying about his action as con
federate rebel before he turned over tt
the Union side.
The daily gazette., 1879-05-02

The GAZETTE is very much opposed
TO dueiiing ifsuch men as Senators Bay
ard and Salisbury, had to go out to be
shot at, but in favor of it II there was
any expectation that Senator Logan
might be shot at and illed.cRepubli-
eun.
Quite right as to the first. But wrong
~ to the last clause. We should be sor-
ry to hear Of Logan being shot. We
should fear an ADLER Republican would
be sent to the Senate in his place. The
Delaware Senators are not duellists and
ltheir friends would not hear to their
baking an exhibition of themselves ac-
1cbrding to the murderous code.
