The ladies Of the Benevolent Soci-

rain the crowd in attendance was
small, but all enjoyed themselves
finely, and freely partook OF the
abundance there was to eat. The
ladies had made a most excellent
quilt to sell for the benefit of the So
ciety, but as no one bid near the
worth of the quilt, the society bid II
in at SIS. 1t was supposed to be
worth twenty or twenty five dollars.
1t was made of the best material and
put together and ornamented with
fine specimens of needle work, which
show the good taste OF the ladies
about Potts Station.
Our annual school election was
held Saturday, which resulted in the

Indigestion

is not only distressing complaint, Of
itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent OF innumerable
maladies. That Ayers Sarsapari1la
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, Of Brockway
Centre, Mich.:-
Liver complaint and indigestion
made my life burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years / suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that took seemed to do
any permanent good until commenced
the use Of Ayers Salsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla could see an Improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength Inn
proved each day, and after q few
months of faithful attention to your
ulES3uiOtiS, 4 IOuuu myself well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me q
new lease OF life."

Private DazelI's Advice.

Now that Memorial Day is near at
hand, the following, which appeared
in the Carson Appeal some week ago, is
both appropriate and beautiful. Pri-
vate Oazel's name was signed to the
letter, which is in full as follows:
1.-The flowers we are gathering, COM
rades, for the solemn service of Deco
ration Day, 1889. will hardly have
withered or lost their fragrance above
the shrines where our heroic COM
rades sleep, until we shall lie down
beside them. The time is drawing
near The night cometh. The three
shots are already loaded in the guns
soon To be fired over our insensate
clay. Passing away-25, 900, 10000
of us, annualiy-and in an accelerated
ratio as the years roll on. We can
not tarry much longer. Bid the hun
cry and avaricious office-seeker be
patient. We shall soon be out of their
way Soon We shall be all mustered
under the sod. 1t cannot be long.
They say we want the earth the
earth wants us and cannot wait much
longer to receive US. Graves yawn at
our feet This is the last Decoration
Day $4,000 of US shall ever see. Be
fore another Decoration Day we shall
rest in our green tents of peace and
rest. Solemn, then, and universal be
the service of flowers. Bring your
garands, dear old comrades, and from
your sad eyes once more and for the
last time, shed your tears above the
holy graves. But ever above the
blooming blossoms of Spring, above
the quietude of death, let the flag
float, the sweetest of all the flowers in
the world"

la the Right Light.

The Commercial Record, IF San
Francisco. put the attitude 0f Ger
many in Snnoa in lis naked truth
thus: Bismarck wants the United
States to pay for the plantations in
Samoa; to pay the damages which the
Germans we're subjected to, or to
guarantee the payment by the Sa-
means they purchase the plantations
Tho wonderful m3desty of this fellow
is astonishing H., through his ennis
saries, stirs up quarrel in which his
soldiers were effectually whipped, and
during which the Germans were SUBJ
jected to losses, and now with an
assurance unprecedented in the worlds
history, he wants our Government to
pay him for getting into fight and
for getting deservedly licked while
forwarding the contest. His position
il so absurd that il becomes a matter
of ridicule unworthy of serious con-
sideration. 1t is upon the same prin J..
ciple that robber should demand
from the city authorities recompense
for severe drubbing received while
attempting to enter premises for feIo-
NOUS purposes. The two cases are
exactly parallel. Bismarck had no
right using force through his agents
against the Samoan authorities. nor to
usurp control of their affairs. He
knew they were weak people, and as
DULLES are always towards and ready
TO attack those who are weak, so he
thought to seize upon this island and
hold possession of it. He would never
have attacked Russia. France, Eng
land or the United States in similar
way. From the weak vacillation and
todyism of the last Presid MT and
Secretary of State toward European
monarchies, he thought our people
would not dare to counterfeit the ag-
gressive acts which he intended to
institute. But he evoke up the wrong
passenger" and now is endeavoring to
sneak out of his dilemma.
