PILES,

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. At times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are present, as hatuency, uneas-
mess of the stomach, etc. A moisture
like perspiration, producing very dis
agreeable itching, particularly at night
after getting warm in bed, is very
common attendant. Internal, Ex-
ternal and itching piles yield at once
to the application OF Dr.. Bosanko's pile
remety. which acts directly upon the
parts affected, absorbing the rumors,
allayibg the intense itching. and affect
ing permanent cure where all other
remedies have failed. Do not delay
until the drain on the system produces
permanent disability, but try it and be
cured. Price, 50cents. Ask your
druggist for it, and when you can not
obtain IL of him, we will send it, pre-
paid, on receipt of price. Address the

M II. Church Entertainment.

TIE entertainment gotten up by the
NJ. T. church for the benefit Of Rev.
| G.. Is. Clark. was well attended and a
very enjoyable time was had us antici-
pated. The new hall was filled TO
Over6owing. VIM Strong occupied
the chair. The entertainment WAS
opened with prayer by Rev WmiBrad-
ley, of Goodland, after which the band
! favored them Nth selection. Rev
| G. Il. Clark thea made an eloquent
speech or the early history, growth
and prosperity of Brockway Centre in
a very able and efficient manner which
| interested the audience very
much. Rev G.. w. lIarShman was
next on tie program and lie gave a
few very interesting thoughts which
came to his mind while Rev G. B.
Clark was speaking. He made short
but able and interesting speech. Next
came music by the band then the first
table was called for supper. After
the first table was cleared the choir
and band rendered selections and the
tables were again set for the second
time. Rev w. Bradley was called
upon TO make Il speech. He said he
did not come prepared to make "A
speech but the old saving was there
were two persons in this world whom
should be obeyed, our wives and the
chairman of meeting, also adding
that he supposed the people did not
care whether he obeyed his wife or no,
but did about the chairman's request.
Mr. Bradley's address was appreciated
by loud applase caused by the interest
ing anecdotes told by him. The band
then played the National Anthem and
Rev w. Bradley arose TO read sec
lection saying that he would be lead TO
think that the members of the band
were Engiishmen but felt very highly
honored for their being so kind as to
play "God save the Queen" for his
benefit and they would again honor
him by playing "Yankee Doodle" after
his reading. J. :. Duiiie, Esq then
made short address in regard to the
laurels placed upon him by preceding
speakers, said he did not wish any and
would rather they had OF done so and
that he hoped some citizen in this
village with more means than he had
when he started his new building,
would 90 ahead and build better
place to meet in. He then gave the
receipts of the meeting. S53, and then
the band and choir rendered selections
and the entertainment closed.

It is beautiful spectacle to observe
the attempt that is being made to show
that Mr.. Conkling didn't ask to be re-
elected to the Senate. Speaker Sharp
effectually puts the quietus upon any
such idea by showing the ravenous
desire that Conkling had for re-elec-
ton. The pretended resignation for
retiring to private life is all bosh, and
the attempt to cover over and hide
Conkling's greed for a reelection is
among the thinnest of thin pretentions.
One cause that made the attempt more
hopeless still was Conkling's dictatorial
manner with Sharpe, disposing of his
ideas with a wave of the hand, and
taking charge of the movement for re-
election as though he were the ruler of
all things and Sharpe his little puppet
ready to do his bidding. Sharpe had in
mind the fact that somewhere in New
York there was a great constituency
that was quite as much to be consider
ed as the boss, and he became a bolter
and no longer gave his support to de
mands so unreasonable.

The Wilmot schools closed last Fri

ers to have a picnic on the school

shower in the morning prevented.
However, the Odd Fellows opened
their hall, and thither 1ocked the
children and parents until the room
was crowded The exercises, consist
ing of recitatiOns, readings and songs.
lasted for over an hour. The Wilmot
COrnet Band turned out and enliyened
the occasion with good music and lots
OF it. After the exercises closed the
tables were laid and soon loaded with
everything good to eat, and ice cream
and lemonade were a drug. The
Superintendent left at five o'clock, and
the little ones were still eating, the
band playing, and the people having a
good time generally. The people of
Wilmot take a just pride in their
schools, and spare no expense to make
them successful. All unite in saying
that Mr.. Mooney and Miss Reynolds
were the right teachers in the right
places during the past year, and wish
them royal good luck wherever they
may teachin the future.

The advantages Of such depart
ment in our government were perhaps
never more plainly set forth. The
leading opposition to its establishment,
it is thought, will come from the War
Department and its officials, who are
socially influential in both Houses of

Full report of the finding of the
bodies of the lost Arctic explorers,
belong and others, has reached this
country. The account is sickeRing in
its details. The indications of the ter
rible struggle that was made for life
in that wild region of ice and snow
are enough to dishearten any who may
now be ambitious to gain renown in
so dangerous field. The appearance
of the bodies leads to the conclusion
that ut the last the men crawled into
the fire. Their hands and garments
are burned, pieces of skin and cloth
which were eaten into were found in
their pockets; they were without boots.
and pieces of rags were tied round
their feet to protect them from the
cold. The bodies were under snow to
the depth of from one to eight feet,
and were not together, but in two
groups 500 and 1000 yards from the
scow. The remains were gathered up
and inferred in temporary mauso-
leum constructed out of the wood of
the scow. Suitable inscriptions were
made on their tomb. The building is
IN the form of pyramid twenty-five
feet long and seven feet high, sur
mounted by large cross. 1t only re-
mains to learn of the crew of the other
missing boat, which may or may not
be a great task, and the record of the
Jeanette expedition will be closed.

Davitt, the leading Irish agitator
arrived in New York on Sunday, on
the ocean steamer "Germanic." lie
will make tour of the principal cities
of this country, lecturlng upon the
present condition of Ireland. He is
received with great enthusiasm by the
friends of Ireland, and his speeches
will undoubtedly tend to turn Amer
lean sympathy still further toward
that distressed cour try. Mr.. Davitt is
a representative Land Lacquer, and it
is under the auspices of that associa-
ton that he will lecture in this coun-
try. OF all the Irish agitators, he is
probably the one most heartily endor-

fare of his native country at heart,
and for the good judgment and consis-
tency he has shown in furthering the
true interests of Ireland.

The feeling in favor of the establish.
ment of an Agricultural Department
is greatly increased this spring by the
vital need that is felt everywhere fol
laboriously full and accurate stats
tics on the crop prospects. We clip
from the Inter Ocean some remarks
there quoted upon this subject from
Representative Carpenter, of Iowa, be.
fore the House of Representatives,
which are valuable, coming from a
man of exceptionally good Judgment
and information on such subject.
"The statistics respecting growing
crops, both at home and abroad. have
heretofore been received and published
at private cost. Grain dealers, for
their own benefit and in the conduct
OF their own business, have expended
more money to secure statistical infor-
nation respecting growing crops than
has the government of the United
States; and, as it is the interest of the
grain speculator to make a showing
that will enable him to buy cheap. it is
not strange if much of the information
disseminated at private expense is
fallacious and unreliable. The dav
will come-and it can come none too
soon-when from a well-equipped az
ricultural department of the govern
ment truthful and ineligible statisti-
cal information, not only respecting
the products in the granary, but the
growing crops, both in the old world
and the new, will be furnished to the
producer, so that he can form an in
telligent judgment as to the probable
lty OF high or low prices in the future.
| trust also, and / believe, that adyanc-
ing statistic knowledge will enable
the chronological division of this de-
partment to give the agriculturists
warning of the approaching invasions
OF the weevil, the army-worm. the
chinch-bug, the cotton-worm. and the
Rocky Mountain locust, and that the
portion OF the country upon which thew
will be likely to fall will be as unerrinc-
ly indicated as the course of to-
morrow's wind and as the seamen upon
the ocean are to-day warned of the
coming storm. The day will also
come-and l believe it's coming will be
hastened by the experiments and OBJ

II recently became necessary in veri
flying the books to count millions OF
dollars in revenue stamps in the Treas
ury Department at Washington. Two
lady clerks were selected for the work,
and they have accomplished the feat
III a manner that has won for them
high commentator and three days
leave of absence. The rapidity and
accuracy Of the counting is remarkable,
as high as 100000 in stamps being
counted in day, and more remarkable
still the counts Of the two tailed to a
cent, and with the books, thus showing
that the books are absolutely without
error. When the vast number of
stamps is considered, the fact that there
was not one stamp missing or effaced,
but all was exactly as indicated in the
books, the labor of the two clerks in
counting and the efficiency of the ser
vice records will be appreciated.
