Leave Your Windows Omen.

All the higher organisms plead hard
for pure, fresh air. 1t keeps off dis
ease. Don't close windows too soon.
Keep them open little, or much,
night and day, as long as possible.
When you use double windows don't
have the outer or storm window fast
ened on the frame and depend only Oh
the almost useless little slit of an open
ing in the frame of the sash, mis-
named ''ventilator," for your Life
giving oxygen. Have the window
hung with hinges SO that it can be
opened wide, as well as the inner one,
and have both opened freely and often
to flush" the room. Even in rooms
with provision for ventilation, this
flushing is desirable.-The Prophy-
Tactic.

THE BATES-EVANS CONTEST.
Gov Taylors Statement of tbs Case.

'.The powers of the Board of In
spectors being ministerial, as is ed
mitted on all hands and is clearly
true, it follows that the only duty
this board had to perform is to as
certain what the legally certified re-
turns are, sum them up and an
nounco the result. AS the returns
from the counties of Rhea and
Meigs are tbs only ones in question,
and as it is admitted that the ao-
mansion or rejection of the votes
cast in the Eighth Civil District Of
these counties respectively is deci-
sive of the election, it is not neces-
sary to go into the figures of the
returns.
THE sherirs OF these counties
make original returns in due form
in which these disputed districts
are counted and upon summing up
of all the votes in all the counties,
composing the Third Congressional
District, majority of 2SS votes ap-
pears for Mr.. Evans. Afterwards
the sheritfs send In amended returns
in which on their face appear the
same fgures As in the original, bat
to which each appends certificate
reciting the discovery of fraud and
illegality in the two districts named.
The certificates state what the al
legged frauds and illegalities are and
each sheriff plainly Gays that he is
not advised what his duties are and
be therefore makes the statement of
the facts, concluding by saying that
if the votes of said districts are
thrown out the vote will stand so
many less for each candidate, nam
ing the figures. By this elimina-
ton of votes the result is ascertain
ed to be the election of Mr.. Bates
| by one vote.
81 cannot conclude that either Of
the sheriffs save thrown them out,
for each of them says he is not ad-
vised what his duties are. cannot
believe that he has the right to dele
| SdbC pow CI w bulOW tuClA oou II
he has it to this board because the
statute does not give him such pow
er. l cannot conclude that this
board has the right to adjuoicate
questions of fraud and illegality be-
cause their powers are ministerial
The proper forum for such adjudi-
cation is the Congress which is the
Judge OF the qualification and cleo
ton of its own members, or the
courts on proper case made.
The sheriffs having counted
these districts, this board is com
PEELED to count them, and it appear
Ing from the footing up of their re-
turns that Mr.. Evans has received a
majority of the votes cast in the
whole district, l am compelled un-
der the law as I see it and under
the facts as they present themselves
to me to award him the certificate
of election. RoBr. L. TAYLOR.

didn't Know it was Loaded.

The young man fell dead !
A friend had pointed revolver at him.
'He didn't know it was loaded"
We often hear it stated that man is not
responsible for what he does not know.
The law presupposes knowledge and there
fore convicts the man who excuses. crime by
ignorance --
"If had only known" has often been an
unfortunate mans apology for some evil
unknowingly wrought, but in matter of
general interest-as for instance that laud-
anum is poison, that naphtha is deadly
explosive, that blood heavily charged with
a winters accumulations of the waste of
the system-iU is ones duty to know the
fact and the consequences thereof. Our
good old grandmothers knew, for instance,
that the opening of spring was the most
perilous period of the year.
Why2 d,
! Because then the blood stream is slug
| glish and chilled by the cold weather, and
if not thinned a good deal and made to
flow quickly and beautifully through the
artiries and VEINS it is impossible to have
good vigor the rest of the year. Hence,
without exception, what is now known as
Warmers Log Cabin Salsaparilla was plen-
tlfully made and religiously given to every
member of the family regularly through
March, April May ana June. It's matter
| OF record that this prudential, preventive
and restorative custom saved many fit of
/ sickness, prolonged life and happiness to q
vigorous old age, and did away with heavy
medical expenditures.
Mrs. Maggie Kerchwal, of Lexington,

hostility and petulance until she was re-
minded that the reporters were not there be

they had been sent for to spread the truth. "
Mr.. Marsh was kind enough to explain to
her that she was not assuming exactly the

| 1T is nothing to the press what L am,
she said. If am fraud l must stand the
exposure. I can be very charming woman
or can be Lady Macbeth"
She said she never could do anything
spiritualistic at night. She had to be in a
receptive mood. She is receptive from s
o'clock to o'clock every day, she said,
which suggests fact hitherto unknown

them, but the spirits never let her have
any. They come for those who want them
and who apply to her, and such persons do
not have to say what they want. All they
have to do is to be as passive as possible.
She says she has daughter & years old,
who is also in the picture line, but she did
not state the daughters office hours. She
spoke of receiving hundreds of ''sitters," as
she calls the dear public, and Mr.. Marsh
also intimated, delicately, that the madames

is unfortunate for her because she comes
simultaneously with the appearance of a
