TnE URBANA posrMAsTER.


The troubles Of the Urbana Postmaster
are Of a peculiar kind. His name is s. B.
Price, and he is well.known here, as au in
telligent and worthy gentleman. In a long
article devoted to his case, which appears
in the Urbana Daily Citizen, it is stated
that there is discrepancy in his cash Of
81, ,456, SO cannot be denied, but the Cit-
zen adds There is no person who be-
ieves that Mr.. Price has been guilty Of
any crookedness in his transactions at the
office, though there is reason to believe
that he has been too confiding and has not
watched his cash as closly as he should,
when he knew that there had been syste.
matte shrinkage in the money regularly
every month, which he made good from
his own private funds.
Mr. Price was called on at his home by
representative OF the Citizen and he made
the following frank and interesting state
ment: 81 have known for more than a
year that there was a leakage in the office,
but could never find where it was At the
| end of each month when | would make
my settlement the books were all right,
but there was shrinkage in the cash
which have regularly made up from my
individual funds | noticed also that each
month the shrinkage grew larger and
larger, yet was still unable to account
for the money and learn where it went to-
The matter has worried me great
DEAL and l have not only used my salary
to meet the deficiency, but have Used my
pension and other funds to the amount Of
S2,77S to make good the loss. | have
watched the office closely, and never since
| became postmaster have been absent
from the Office all told forty-eight hours
when it was open until the past week
when sickness compelled me to remain a,
home have always been at the offic,
when it opened and when it closed. NJ,
household expenses have not been ex
travagant, and all the money have draw
out has been 81 per week, which was tn
weekly allowance for household expenses
Beyond this amount my salary has all beel
used in meeting the leak in the cash o
the office"
Mr.. Price (the Citizen continues) ha
been discouraged at the way in which tn
loss has continued and his failure to dis
cover it and his sickness was the result
He has forwarded his resignation to tn
department, and will be glad to retir
from the Office which has been strai
on his nerves for the past year. He ar
peared at the Office early Monday mornin
and will still continue in charge until tn
appointment of his successor We ar
told that he has the hearty sympathy o
| the people OF Urbana and also their conf
dence in his integrity. He has we'd in the
city several years, and was once seachel
in the Central Ward school, He is also 9
member OF the First NJ. E. church.
The Democrats are already wide awake
and a number Of ambitious gentlemen ar,
red-hot in the pursuit of his place.

DELICATE WOMEN.

1 have been using for month OF
two i'm my household Swift's Specific
the greater portion of it having been
consumed by the female portion of my
femily and with the harpiest results.
1t acted like charm on my wife, who
had been in bad health for long time
and for whom 1 had paid hundreds of
dollars for doctors and medicines. 1t
began to build her up from the first
dose. Another female member of my
family took it with equally satisfac-
tory results. 1t Is certainly the best
tonic for delicate ladies that l have
ever used, and l have used them all.
| have no doubt that want of exercise,
close confinement in poorly ventilated
houses, sewer gas poison and malarial
poison often produces sickness among
our wives, daughters and sisters, and 1
believe Swift's Specific is the remedy
for all this sort of blood poisoning. I
know many of the best families of the
country are using it for this purpose,
and 1 have never known or heard of
any failure to give entire satisfaction.
1 have known the remedy long time.
I know it to be entirely vegetable, and
the best tonic and Alternative, especially
for females. f. l.. JONES.

GENERAL DEBILITY.

For several years past, my wife's
health has been exceedingly feeble-a
general break down of the nervous
system. She was greatly reduced in
flesh. No remedy seemed to do her
any good. In the spring of 1888 1 in
duced her to try Swift's Specific. The
first bottle gave her hope and twenty
bottles produced wonderful results.
She gained thirty pounds in flesh and
it renovated her whole system. 1t is
certainly the greatest tonic in the
world. T. j. HIGGINS.

The Washington Post says: "As
Kansas has.forcibly declared her inten-
ton to be represented in both branches
of Congress by republicans only, we
hope she may be equally obdurate in
adhering to Senator ingalls,. There is
no member of either house the people
of this city and district would more re-
gretfully part with. Mr.. ingalls, is an
accomplished man upon the floor; he is
also an efficient and practical worker
in the committee room-qualities that
are not always found united in the
same person. The district is indebted
to him for very much of the legislation
under which, during the last five years,
its condition. has been so greatly i'm

IT is curious fact that one of the
most famous poems In our language
appeared originally in a magazine that
seldom touches poetry at all, and the
same periodical, after an interval of
sivty-six years. now brings out anoth-
er poem very similar in theme. Bry-
ants "Thanatopsis" was first printed
in the North american ReUiew for
September, 1917. The May number of
the Review, just out, has poem by
Robert Buchanan on "The New Bud
dha." The critics found fault with Mr..
Bryant's poem on the ground that it
was unChristian; it remains to be
seen what they will say of Mr.. Bu-
chanan's. The question, "Has Christ
ianity Benefited Woman ?" is ably dis
cussed in this number by Mrs. Eliza
beth Cady Stanton and Bishop ]. l..
Spalding. President J. l.. Packard
writes on, "Why Crime is Increasing"
and David Dudley Field on "Indus-
trial Cooperation" while Prof. An
drew F. West, of Princeton, contributes
an article of great clearness and
strength on "What is Academic Free

elist, discusses Success in Fiction"
and T. F. Thiselton Dyer "Supersti-
ton in English Life" The new de-
partment of Comments keeps well up
to the standard with which it started.

The drop in the price of quinine may
have been caused by the large ship
ments of Collins Ague Cure into the
malarial and chills and fever districts
throughout the south and west, where
formerly it was supposed nothing but
quinine would cure. Judging from
the large shipments daily of this rem
edy from the laboratory of the Collins
Bros. Drug Co., Second and Vine
streets, it looks as if Collins Ague
Cure was taking the place of all othe-
remedies for chills.-From Missouri

HIS LOSS WAS HER GAIN

"Well, madam" said fashionable
physician to wealthy lady patient,
''if you don't like my prescriptions, per-
haps you had better try Parker's Ton
ic, or some other quack stuff" "You
don't mean it, DOCTOR" she answered,
"but your advice may be good for all
that. Sometimes what yeu call quack
stuff is the best and most scientific
medicine, after ALL" She got bottle
of Parker's Tonic and it cured her of
neuralgia arising from disordered
stomach and nerves. She told her
friends and now they all keep doctor
at home i'm the form of Parker's Tonic.

A Great Discovery.

says: "My wife has been seriously af-
flicted with cough for twenty-five
years, and this spring more severely
than ever before. She had used many
remedies without relief, and being
urged to try DR.. Kings New Discov-
cry, did so, with most gratifying re-
suits. The first bottle relieved her
very much, and the second bottle has
absolutely cured her. She has not
had as good health for thirty years"

The following from the Chicago
Times, leads one to believe that even
as an ''emigrant aid" institution, pro-
hibition is not a bad thing:
There seems to be an exodus to Kan
sas from the southern part of the state.
Within the past month twenty fami-
lies have left Floyd county. Monday
night fifteen Germans from Romney,
Harrison county, left on the Air line
for Greenville, Kansas. a correspond
ent inquired of number going why
they selected Kansas. The universal
response was: "Well, we have boys
growing up who are falling into bad
habits under the saloon temptations in
the cities and small towns, and we are
going to Kansas where they will be re-
lieved of this temptation"

best medicine to regulate the bowls,
cure costiveness and bilhousness, help
