It's a Mighty Cold Day

In January when Pe-ru-na fails to keep you warm. When the buster ing blasts of winter envelOp your body in their icy embrace. and seem to freeze your very marrow when you shiver and shake with the cold chills that creep over you and pierce you to the very bone; then it is that you will find, if you try it, that there is nothing so comfortably warming and so mildly invigorating as this same Pe-ru-na. Sending a genial glow through your chilled system, 1t will start your blood a-courSing through your veins, put new life and vigor into your veins, and make you feel altogether like a new man. The effect of Pe-ru-na in this respect Is wonderful, and is manifested by no other medicine. As a Stomach Med icine and Tonic it has no equal, and needs only to be tried to prove its ef- fcacv. For record of what Pe-ru-na can do for ills peculiar to Ladies, send for Dr. Hartman's Ills of Life" sent free by the Peruna Med icine Co.,, Columbus, 0.

The School Book Question.

Editor PIcArNE.- As a citizen and tax payer of Prescott, l have been watching the schoolbook fight, as 1t it is termed. and, from my informa- tion. I see no reason for the feeling that has been worked up on po'h sides. In the first place, the law makes it the duty of the school board to adopt a series of school books which shall be taught for three years unless changed by petition of ma iority of the legal voters of the dis- trict. understand that the McGuf- fey people claim that they have oo- tained ninety-fve per cent of the le- cal voters of this district, asking for change of books, and that this pe- tition was presented to the board of directors and was refused; that af- rewards the McGuffey people ob- taiued three hundred and ten names to their petition and asked the board to hold a special meeting to consider this last petition (which, as IS claimed contains ninety-nine per cent. of the voters of this dstrict) and that the directors refused to hold special meeting and to notice this petition, Now. Mir Editor, so far as l am con cerned, (and as 1 believe large ma iority of the people of Prescott are concerned), l care nothing about these agents. know that each side will do their best to get their books in. But when nearly every voter m the district asks that a certain book should be taught, and that, too, af- ter the question has been agltated so long, cant see what the board of directors mean. If the people want these McGuffcy books, let them have i them.
 As to the cost of the books, that is with the people and not with the directors, the directors do not furnish the people books. Again sir, there is another bad feature in this matter. The wish of the masses has been trampled under foot. l am cor rectlv informed the sacred right of petition has been denied, and a book condemned by a majority of the mln- isters in town. and a large majority of the people, both intelligent and uniformed, is being forced upon the citizens of this district. There Is an other bad feature in this book bnsl- ness and that is this The books now in use, (Standard) if l am correctly informed, were adopted by the board and the people knew nothing of 1t un' { LII jnclT CllllNItu Coiilc iiOihN CIV ''S ' from school and brought a new book (Standard reader). The board took this action without letting the peo- pie know anything about it, and now when the people so strongly sho" their disapproval of this action of the board. I think in all justice to the people and the school board, that these petitions ought to be heard. II the people desire their children taught the McGuffeyi readers, what is it to the board? The directors, il l have been correctly informed as to the law. are elected to represent the people in the management of the school, and not to run the school simply to suit their own views.
 Now, Mir Editor, l suspect that whcr the matter is sifted to the bottom, al will be found more or less in fault But it does seem to me that men who are capable of looking at thing: calmly, can see that the desire of tho patrons of the school should b, granted. Yours truly,

The Worlds Fair will likely be settled during the present month. St. Louis claims to have 70 votes pledged, conceding 7l to Chicago, New York comes next and Washing ton last. A prominent Congressman speaking of the matter, says: 1t is by no means settled that the govern ment will go into the affair at all. Fully one-half of the members of Congress refuse to commit themselves upon the subject. Many of them hold that to select as between St. Louis and Chicago would be an un- due interference upon behalf of the government as between two cities that are commercial rivals. Then when New York is talked about, the Western and Southern members rise up and say that for all the interest Americans in general will have in the matter the Fair may as well he held in London and Paris as on the Amer ican seaboard. Then Washington plays her trump card of neutrality, and urges that the government should seize the opportunity to erect permanent buildings for a permanent exposition of American progress, And she is met with the argument that sufficient time will not elapse before 1892 in which to erect perma- nent buildings. There is general impression that the time is too short, especlally for the foreign govern mputs v

Let the Candidates Express Them
 selves.

The Helena World agrees with the Gazette and the Democratic press of the State generally, that-the ques- ton of passing a law by the next Legislature of Arkansas, which will force all railroads carrying passen- gers in this State, to provide separ- ate coaches for white and eolored people, has become live issue in the coming campaign. Some of the newspapers in our State are loud in the favor of such law. The World can be placed upon the list as favor ing the same. The riot on the All theimer branch of the St. Louis, Ar kansas X Texas road is one of the re- suits of this mixed tram business. In selecting candidates for members of the next General Assembly, our people should request them to vote for bill that will compel the railroad companies to carry ears for the white people and require them to ride in them; likewise the negroes.
 Long ago the Gazette warned per sons who intend to become candi- dates for the general assembly that the question will enter the canvass, and must be met squarely. It is not a political question, but one affect ing the well-being of all classes and colors.- Little Rock Gazette.
 The issue is clearly made and be- fore the people, and candidates need not expect to dodge or evade it. As we have before expressed ourselves, we most heartily favor such law.
