WEST CONCEDED.

June 26.-This place was visited by
one or more burglars last Thursday
night. @. P. Palmer's house was en-
tered through the pantry window,
and after appropriating what milk
they wanted, they paid Il visit to Mr..
and Mrs. Palmer's sleeping room, tax.
ing what change they had in the
pockets of their clothing, little more
than three dollars we are informed.
The II. Il. station was also entered by
breaking hole in the glass SO as to
be able to raise the window. Only 1C
cents was taken here, as but a small
amount is left in the building over
night. Although not very successful
in obtaining plumber they have been
able to awaken our people to the Ii,
ability of such attempts and it will be
likely to become more risky business
in the future.

The ticket put in nomination at the
late Republican county convention i:
one that should command the respect
and support of every Republican in

reason why those who syinpathized
with the third party cannot support
the ticket with equal earnestness,

great bereavement.
Beloved wife of Milo NJ. Silsby of

gain.
| She left very many sweet memories
behind her, and it will he well for Us
who knew her to follow her blessed
example, for no one could meet her
without deriving much good from her
sweet disposition. In her home she
began heaven here with her married
life, and she has only gone to enjoy
that which she enabled so many to
enjoy here.
A wife, loving and devoted to hel
husband, she loved and lived for him
alone. How tender was their parting
every morning, for during their eight
and one-half years of married life she
al ways accompanied him to the door
and affectionately bade him farewell
How she longed for his return in the
evening, when standing by window
she would welcome him home. &c
heavenly love, where love like this is
found"
With all the happiness she enjoyed
here she was quite prepared for the
end. Turning to her husband the
night she died she said: II am ready
to go. 1t is better that | should &C
first. shall meet all the loved one
that are gone before, and you know
my dear, you are stronger to bear the
loss than | would be if | were left, anC
| shall wait for you in that land where
all is bright and fair, and we shall
part no Inore," and so saying she kiss
ed her sister and brothers and turning
to her dear mother she embraced hel
telling her to come to her soon.
Lying in her husbands arms she
passed away to the arms of the loving
Sa viour.
Gods will be done"

AS was to have been expected the
play of "rhe Private Secretary" at
tracted a full house last Saturday
evening. The piece itself was not APP
preciated, but of the acting it is but
just to say that all of the participants
acquitted themselves very creditab.y.
J 7. Laurie, as the Secretary, gave to
the part IL thoroughly careful and
earnest representation, and the laugh
ter and applause that rewarded his eff
forts in delineating his humility, and
lack of wisdom in the ways of
the world. abundantly testified
to his success. His make up was
first class. D. p. Mckenzie, in the
role of Cattermole, had a capital con-
ception OF the part, and filled it most
', admirably. J. II. Linehan as his wild
nephew, and E. A. Steady as Harry,
were very clever in their respective
roles, and G. J. Flaherty as the rich
gentleman carried himself with true
gentlemanlysdignity, and the require
ments of good stage presence We're
fully met. Floyd Elkins as the tailor,
in his efforts to ''soar" used his oppor-
tunities without OVERRIDING, and kept
within bounds, carefully avoiding d
tendency to exaggerate. The role by
| Miss Hobbs as Miss Ashford. a. believer
in spiritualisnt, was capitally done,
and the dual representation of the
Secretary IS wife, and Mrs. Stead the
Landlady, by Miss Wing, were well
conceived and carried out. The parts
OF the other young ladies, Miss Nc
Kelvey and Miss Thurston, were fit
ting complement to the impersona-
tions of the others. Very enjoyable
music was furnished by Bigelow's Or
chestra.

The symptoms of Biliousness are un.

differ in different individuals to some
extent. A Bilious man is seldom a
breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas,
he has an excellent appetite for liquids
but none for solids of morning. His
tongue will hardly bear inspection at
any time; if it is not white and furred,
it is rough at all events.
The digestive system is wholly out
of order and Diarrhea or Constipa.

To the Editor of the HERALD:
In your issue of last week "Public "
attempts to comment upon what SOL
der " in previous issue had to say of
the address delivered May 30, by Mr..
A. Ii. Bonett, and accuses ne of an
attempt to damn with faint praise"
ETC., jumps into the air and with great
and profuse praise defends Mr.. Bonett
against what he imagines was an at
tempt at disparagement. Now this it
seems to me is entirely waste of pow
der, for the foe was an imaginary one,
the creation of Public's disordered
imagina ton. lie says Soldier seems
incapable of "grasping an original
idea," but be that as it may, even q
second hand idea is greatly misappre-
hended by Public; his too elaborate
praise, which always carries with il
the impression OF insincerity, and his
construction of what | SAID seems tC
| indicate that he cannot comprehend
| how man can mean just what he
says; no more, no less; and intended
ITO be so understood when | said the
address was good and well appreciat
ed, and was there myself, not absent
as Public intimates and further,
was we'll pleased with the address and
did not think it necessary to brace il
up with anything in Public's uiShy
acashy style, as it would stand upon it
own merits. Now don't let a seeming
chance to distinguish yourself agail
get the better of your Judgment, ant
cause you to go off at half cock.
