now we would like to know upon what
authority the sheriff is allowed to re-
tain some thirty dollars Of the county's
money in his possession for SIX months

several voters would like to see it in

Taxpayers and voters. A few days be-
fore Mr.. Tarble was taken sick, he said
to ME that he did not want the county
to pay the costs in the case of the Ter

intention to straighten up the matter
with the commissioners, not then
knowing it WAS my duty to tarn the
money over to the treasurer. When
they met in April, the matter was for.

of it to Mr.. Sickler. The commission
ers were talking of cutting my bill of
$4,000 for the keeping of Williams
horses and l said, "when you decide
upon the amount at which you will al
low my bill, deduct the amount of the
costs in the case of the Territory VS..
John Stellar, which bill you will find
in the clerks office, and issue me a
warrant for the remainder" l sup
posed that bill for my fees in the
case was on file in the county clerks
office and that had received a war

and the balance Of the $4,000 paid me
by Mr.. Tarble was for other work and
had no relation to the Stellar matter
Those ready to charge me with dishon.

the money being paid and that had ]
been seeking to defraud the county,

my pay second time, which | could
have done since the Justices docket
does not show that the costs have beer
paid. Moreover it was through my
influence with Mr.. Tarble that the
case was settled with the trifling costs
instead Of prosecutfnng,it which would

Helping the hight Side.

To help the right side is not only com
mendable in general point of view, but
is judicious and prudent when that help
is enlisted in behalf of the right side OF
the body, Just over the lower ribs in the
region of the liver. The most efficient
help is afforded by Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, an anti-blious medicine of in
comparable efficacy. lnaction of the
liver is accompanied by constipation, sick
headache. furred tongue, nausea, occa-
sional vertigo, an un pleasant breath, yell
lowness of the skin and ball of the eye.
The author of these symptoms, liver
complaint routed by the bitters is accom-
panied by them in its flight. Fever and
ague, which always involve the liver,
dyspepsia. rheumatism, debility and kid
nev troubles are all maladies to the early
relief and final cure of which this standard
medicine is adapted. Don't use it by fits
and starts, but Systematically, that its
full effects may result in a perfect resto-
ration of health.

Practical HaIue of Scicnce.

An illustration of the practical usefulness
of bacteriology was furnished recently. An
italian steamer arrived loaded with mm-
grants. There had been no cholera on board,
but, as tho vessel reached port, suspicious
case of diarrhea occurred in a child The
symptoms wero not perfectly typical of
cholera. Some of the OBJECTIONS were taken,
and steriliZed tubes were inoculated and
taken to the Carnegie laboratory. 1t would
take four days to develop the cultures, and
the question arose whether the steamer should
be delayed for that period of time 1t was
finally decided to do SO. The cultures devel-
oped in the way characteristic of Asiatic
cholera, and the diagnosis was made. Subse-
quently other cases Of cholera appeared, and
the culture diagnosis was abundantly CON
frmed. But no more striking example of
the utility of scientific studies could be fur
nished than the one referred to.-Medical

The sun itself is no longer a semi-fabulous,
fire grt globe, but the vast scene of the play
of forces as yet imperfectly known to US,
offering boundless field for tho most ardu-
Gus and inspiring researches. Among the
planets, the widest variety i'll physical habi-
tudes is seen to prevail, and each is recog-
nized as a world apart, inviting inquiries
which, to be effective, must necessarily be
special and detailed. Even our own moon
threatens to break loose from the trammels
of calculation, and commit "errors" which
sap the very foundations of the lunar theory
and suggest the formidable necessity for its
revision. Nay, the steadfast earth has for
feited the implicit confidence placed in it as u
timekeeper, and questions relating to the
stability of the earth's axis and the constancy
of the earth's rate Of rotation are among
those which it behooves the future to answer.
Everywhere there is multiformity and
change, stimulating IA curiosity which the
rapid development Of methods of research
offers the possibility of at least partially
gratifying.
Outside the solar system the problems
which demand q practical solution are all
but infinite in number and extent. And
these have all risen and crowded upon our
thoughts within less than 100 years. For
sidereal science became recognized branch
of astronomy only through Herschel's dis
covery of the revolutions of double stars in
1902 Yet already it may be, and has been
called "tho astronomy of the future" SO rap
idly has the development of keen and uni
versal interest attended and stimulated the
growth of power to investigate this sublime
subject What has been done is little-is
scarcely a beginning; yet it is much in COM
parison with the total blank of century
past And our knowledge will. we are
easily persuaded, appear in turn the merest
ignorance to those who come after us. Yet
it is not to be despised, since by it we reach
up cropping fingers to touch the hem of the
garment of the Most High.-Sidereal Messen-

The Great Change Which Has Taken
Place Since 1sOO-The Wonders of Our
Own system-ProbIems Infinite in Num-
ber and Extent.
Looking back to the year 1900 we are as
tonished at the change. The comparatively
simple science of the heavenly bodies known
to our predecessors, almost perfect as far as
it went, incurious of what lay behind its
grasp, has developed into body of manifold
powers and parts, each with its separate
mode and means of growth, full of strong vi
tality, but animated by a restless and I'M
satisfied spirit haunted by the sense of prob
lens unsolved, and tormented by conscious
impotence to sound the immensities it per-
petually confronts.
knowledge might then be said to be
bounded by the solar system; but even the
solar system presented itself under an aspect
strangely different from that it now wears.
1t consisted of the sun, seven planets and
twice as many satellites, all circing har-
moniously in obedience to universal law,
by the compensating action of which the III
definite stability of their mutual relations
was secured. The occasional incursion of a
comet, or the periodical presence of single
such wanderer chained by planetary or solar
attraction to prevent escape to outer space,
availed nothing to impair the symmetry of
the majestic spectacle.
Now, not alone have the ascertained limits
of the system been widened to 100000, 900
of miles, with the addition of one more giant
planet and six satellites to the ancient classes
of its members, but a complexity has been
given to its constitution battling description
or thought. Two hundred and seventy cir
culating planetary bodies bridge the gap be-
tween Jupiter and Mars, the complete inves-
tigation of the movements of any one Of
which would overtask the energies of life
timo. Meteorites, strangers apparently to
the fundamental ordering of the solar house
hold, swarm, nevertheless, by millions in
every Granny of its space, returning at regu
lar intervals like the comets, so singularly
associated with them or sweeping across it
with hyperbolic velocity brought perhaps
from some distant star, And each of these
cosmical grains of dust has theory far more
complex than that of Jupiter, it bears within
it the secret of its origin and fulfiIls u func-
ton in the universe
