Browns IRON BITTERs
is one Of the very few tonic
medicines that are not COM
posed mostly of alcohol or
whiskey, thus becoming a
fruitful source of intemper-
ance by promoting a desire
for rum.
Browns IRON BITTERs
is guaranteed to be a nom
intoxicating stimulant, and
it will, in nearly every case,
take the place of all liquor,
and at the same time abso-
lutely kill the desire for
whiskey and other intoxi-
eating beverages.
Rev. G. w. RICE, editor of
the american Christian Re
me1O, says of Browns Iron
Bitters:
Gin, o., Nov. I6, 1884,.
Gents The foolish vast
ing OF vital force in business,
pleasure, and vicious indul-
gence of our people, makes
your preparation necessity;
and if applied, will save hun
dreds who resort TO saloons
for temporary recuperation.
Browns IRON BITTERs
has been thoroughly tested
for dyspepsia, indigestion,
biliousness, weakness, debil-
ity, overwork, rheumatism,
neuralgia, consumption,
liver complaints, kidney
troubles, &C., and it never
fails to render speedy and
permanent relief

Messrs. .Crichton, Tucker, Orner and

The new board met to-day, present, j.

EY-SPE1FER E-ETEEP

Ex-Speaker Keifer had ethe fatal te-
merity to incur, wilfully, the enmity of
the press of the country without regard
to party. The press has a sleepless eye
and countless hands of iron. His denial
of the charges of the Washington cor
respondents, which might have restored
peace gracefully, was unfortunately or.
namented with bits of sarcasm that
caused further irritation. The denial,
considering the purpose for which il
was made, was as bad-as offensive-as
the original acts of which he was ac-
cused, and if he did not lose
his head in the latter he certainly did
In the former. In a contest of this kind
the press always has an immense adyan-
tage, and it is not right that it should be
abused. \ few blois should not be
made TO damn whole record, Mr..

der circumstances which some construed

Mr.. Tabor, of Colorado, managed TO
get a considerable deal of fun out of his
thirty days term in the United States
senate, and 10 give his colleagues much
amusement, too. Not the least inter
esting of his exploits was his personal
quest-an entirely unprecedented per
torrance = after the autographs of
prominent men. His pursuit OF sena-
torial signatures was enacted on the
floor of the senate. during the last few
hours of the session, and his persistence
generally overcame the disfayor with
which his antics were regarded; indeed,
the sight of millionaire senator trot-
ting around from desk to desk with an
album in one hand and blolting pad
in the other was enough TO summon a
grin to the most saturnine visage.
Every now aud then. according 70 a
Boston Transcript correspondent, he
would go TO his desk and check off on
tally list the names he had secured,
and then set out for the others. He re-
paid his colleagues for signing their
names by pointing out to them his hand.

NORMAL NEWS.

WEDNESDAY, March Il.
State Superintendent Speer was with
us this morning, and at the request of
President Taylor. gave US a short adj
dress IN his usual energetic manner, of
which the following is brief synopsis:
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:-Ia am with
you this morning only by accident,
having been apprised of a meeting OF
the board of regents so recently as to
give me no opportunity to prepare for
such visit as I ought to make to you.
Yet my life work has been such as to
bring me in thorough sympathy with
yourselves and your school, and l feel
that can at least say something of q
subject of so great interest to US.
Amongst our educators there are still
! great differences of opinion in all
'branches of our work. In the Normal
| school section of the National Teachers
association, heard lengthy discus
sion as to whether Normal schools
ought to be sustained by state aid or
not. Men.of intelligence were on either
i SIQCs OuL III lAAo 6LoIC VIC uAlS
and are providing for more Normals,
that the whole state may come under
the influence of such professors as you
have here.
There is also a difference as to what
shall be done after we have an educated
teacher to do the work. Some want the
schools to be only mental gymnasiums
others want TO teach only the elements
and then give good industrial educa-
ton, and still others claim that all the
state ought to do is to give the keys to
the children and let them unlock the
vast unknown by their own labors-thai
is, teach the three "R's." And finally,
there is that class. so ably represented
by Herbert Spencer, who think the nat
ural sciences ought to be taught from
which the pupils can get their own ideas
more correctly than otherwise. After
you knew what matter is to be taught
then discussion is IN order as to what
method to use and finally your applica
ton to the particular child. 1t is my
intention to make, in the near future. 6
more extended visit to you, that I may
get better idea of your school in all its
details.
Many other excellent thoughts were
given, and the round of applause was
heartfelt given at the close of the lee
ture.

High License Law In Missouri.

ST. LOUIS, March ia Post Dis
patch special from Jefferson City says:
The Downing high license bill as it
passed the senate was passed by the
house to-day by one majority and is now
law.
The btll requires the signatures of two
thirds of the taxpayers of block, town
or township, leaving the county court
and collector discretionary powers as TO
granting the license. A bond of $4,000
is required to insure an orderly house
and prevent the sale of liquor 10 minors.
Upon each license there Will be levied u
tax of not less than $25 nor more than
5000 for state purposes, and not less than
$25 nor more than $500 for county pur-
poses for every period of six months,
the amount of tax in every instance to
be determined by the court granting the
license. Petitions must ba renewed an
nually. The old Sunday law features
are retained, and there is heavy penal
ty for selling liquor to habitual drunk
ards. This bill applies not only to coun-
try districts, but there is now in the
senate very similar act relating exclu-
sively 10 cities of the first and second
classes which will apply to st. Louis,

1t is usually supposed when letter

anyone save the clerks of that sombeI
institution. So far is this from the fact
that no less than SO per cent. of the

correct destination. To do this requires
body of clerks equal to the decipher-
ing of Egyptian hieroglyphics, as most
of the add resses are nearly as Eligible
as those celebrated characters. The

fact that numbers are signed by pet
