enlargement of the tonsils leave and be-

From the Lower County Captain
George L. Smith, Iynchburg, Harris

sulferings so great from bayou fever and

half gallon he would not have sold the

TIL. Sioux CITY Corn Palace.

Encouraged by the compliments Of
great men, and by the popular enthusiasm
aud abstraction That made the corn palace
of ~ such an unparalleled success, the
buslpess men Of Sioux City have formed
a stock company for the purpose of re-
peating il on a grander scale, intent upon
making il one of the solid and enduring
institutions of the country, and an at.
tractive feature of Sioux City. The idea
is unique and absolutely original. No
other corn palace was ever built, nor wes
the design therefore ever conceived in the
brain of man. lis the one new thing
under the sue. Those who invented
il "builded even wiser than
they knew" for the marvellous creation
exceeded in beauty, in magnitude, and in
originality, all the widest dreams of the
orIgina' ors. Hitherto the hand of man
mad erected palaces of stone, aud marble,
and Joe, but the Sioux City palace was like
Victor HngO's conception of Waterloo, "a
change Of front OF the universe" an event
that altered the course of empire and for
ever crowned Sioux City as "rhe only
Corn Palace City of the World"
The palace will open September "a, and
close October 6. It will be a national
event, occurring at the lovliest time of the
year in one of the most interesting cities
of the country.

Roger Q. Mills

From the St Louis Republican:
When Congressman Roger O. Mills

he is being charged with "recgprin, 49,

The Newspaper as an Educator.

The newspaper is doing more towards
educating the masses than the schools are.
This, to some may be considered a
sweeping assertion, not founded on fact.
It's truth, however, can be demonstrated.
After children have learned to read, which
il only the beginning of an education,
they can gain more information from we'll
conducted newspapers than they can from
text books, and, as a rule, our news papers,
particularly those which have a wide cir
culation, are well edited. Such news
paper covers greater variety of
subjects. embracing "a they do
science, geology, art, mineralogy,
chemistry, natural history, etc, than text
books do, and all these are served up by
the newspapers in a more attractive man.
ner than in text books. That l., they are
more entertaining, and that which enter
t6ins q child is remembered. Besides, all
these subjects are served up in more
practical manner than in the text books,
and then placed within the reach of all.
The importance, therefore, of having in
every family where there are young chill
drea we'll edited newspapers can
not be overestimated. If you want ia
educate your children papidly and
thoroughly give them free scope to
we'll edited newspapers. Those which EN-
brace the greatest variety of subjects arr
OF course the best, but any are better thar
none. There are no people in the worlt
so generally educated as the American
people, and this has been done by tn,
newspaper. Every subject under HEAVIER
is treated by them, ard in such manner
as to be readily understood. The you'll
OF America for instance, know more abou
politics and the news of the day than thos'
cf any other country, and they have the
newspapers to thank for il. Give YOU
children all the newspapers they will read
for while reading them they are storing
up krowledge aud keeping out of mis-
chief Houston Post.
