Dog Fight {!
~

Broadway Street, has long carried
the palm for the number and ferocity
Of its dog-fghts, but this distinguished
honor is to be disputed at last On
last Thursday, while the crowd were
waiting for the bus to bring Keenan,
from the depot, the big black dog
kept in the Jail got on the outside Of
the Jail yard, when a couple of other
dogs attacked him. The Jail dog was
muzzled, but made it lively for his as
sailants The crowd attempted to
separate them, but they rolled and
tumbled, and howled, and clung to-
gether. The three dogs made terrific
din, but when Gould sailed in, there
was perfect cloud of plug hat, club,
and long-tailed coat, all intermingled
with the wool, and roar, and growing,
Of the other animals, which made a
fierce picture-for 'Punch" felt per-
fectly at home among the combatants.
Marshal Owens finally got one Of the
dogs by the hind legs, other parties
caught the others, and the fight was
ended. The other three. on being sep
arated, eyed "Punch" suspiciously for
a moment, then skunk away, as though
ashamed of the whole thing.

The Highest Education.

There is good deal that is wrong in
our modern method of education. 1t
teaches man to be a gentleman, but yet
does not give him the power of making a
living. 1t stuffs him with facts and
meaningless words, phrases and theories,
but does not enable him to think for him
self and become man in the highest and
best sense. His education is too general
and not practical enough. All classes
should be taught that PERUNA-the
great remedy compounded by DR.. Hart
man-is the very thing he needs for the
restoration of his health and the toning
up of the body. Being composed of pure
vegetable substances and containing no
poisonous minerals, it is just the thing
for all classes of people, and all should
learn at once that it is to their interest to
inquire into the merits of this medicine,
therein lies the highest education. Ask
your druggist for PERUNA. ap3w2

Getting TOgether!

A good story is told Of one Of the
Democratic candidates for Trustee. He
was electioneering colored man to
vote for him. Said he to the colored
man: Now look here You and !
used to work together, and we always
got along we'll. I know you are a
good fellow, and so am |. Now you
just come over and vote for me"
'Yes," said the colored man, II
knows you's a good feller, and so is l.
You's just as near my politics as ! is
to yours. Now, let's git togedder.
Spos'n n you come over to me Z"
OF course the Democrat could not
see it in that light, and they went
their different ways and voted their
different tickets.

An Aid to Curing Alcoholism.

All Alu " CuTIuS AICOuOlISms
We believe the best authorities are
generally skeptical as to there being
any sure cure for confirmed habits Of
inebriety unless the effort in that di-
rection be aided by a strong exercise
of the will of the unfortunate subject
of the bad habit. There are, howev-
er, many remedies recommended as
aids in diverting or in minor degree
satisfying the appetite for strong
liquors, which are undoubtedly OF
great advantage in some cases, and
one of these is thus recommended by
self-styled rescued man.: II was
one Of those unfortunates given to
strong drink. When I left it off
felt horrid want Of something
must have or go distracted. | could
neither eat nor sleep. Explaining
affliction to man Of much education
and experience, he advised me to make
decoction Of ground quassia, half
ounce stepped in pint of. vinegar,
and to put about small teaspoonful
of it in little water, and to drink it
down every time the liquor thirst
came on me violent. I found it salts
fled the cravings, and it suffused a
feeling Of stimulus and strength. l
continued this cure, and persevered
till the thirst was conquered. For
two years have not tasted liquor,
and [ have no desire for it. Lately,
to try my strength, l have handled
and smelt whisky, but | have no temp
tation to take it. [ give this for the
consideration of the unfortunate, sew
eral of whom | know have recovered
by means which | no longer require. "
