After remaining at Greencaste nine years
Matthew Simpson resigned the post of college
President to become editor of the Western
Christian Aduocate the official organ OF the
Methodist Church In the West. He was tired
OF academical work. and. during the next four
years. refused successive invitations to take
charge OF Woodward College in Cincinnati. OF
the newly organized Northwestern University
at Evanstown. Of Dickinson College, and OF
the Wesleyan University at Middletown. Conn.
As tho editor OF tho Aduocnte DR.. Simpson
found himself In the possession OF enormous
power. To the Methodist layman the utter

almost papal infallibiity. Tho means pro-

In his utterances about slavery the editor was,
for time. extremely guarded. Although. un-

the extension OF slavery to tho Territories, and

ENORMOUS SHIPMENTS.

Frequent shipments of carload lots
of DR.. Pierce'S Medicines. 10 all the
principal commercial ccmters of this

unprecedented demand for these world
famed remedies. No other medicines

medicines possess such superior and

under a positive guarantee OF benefit
or cure an ecery case, on fair trial, or
money refunded.
There are scores of sarSaparillas and
other blood medicines advertised. but
the Golden Medical Discovery" of DR..
Pierce is the only one ever backed up by
positive guarantee from Il well-known
and thoroughly responsible house. The
conditions are. that, given fair trial. it
will do all that is claimed for it. or
money paid for it will be promptly re-
funded. A Certificate of Guarantee
wraps every bottle.
To attempt the sale of an inferior, or
even fairly good, blood-puritier under
such irving conditions as these. would
mean bankruptcy TO its proprietors.

Only medicine possessed of extraordi-
nary merits could sustain itself under
such a business policy. The Golden
Medical Discovery is such a medicine
and has proven its ability to sustain its
proprietorS. even though sold on such
extraordinary terms.
As 4 remedy for all Blood Skin and
Scalp Diseases. it has Won for itself
world wide fame. Especially has it
manifested its potency in curing Salt
rheum, Eczema. letter, Pimples,
Blotches. Eruptions. old Scrofulous
Sores, Ulcers. and kindred ailments.
As a remedy for the peculiar weak
nesses. distressing irregularities. and

1t is but natural that the people
should bcstow their patronage upon
these medicines, since none other are

The Bottom Of an Oil We'll.

From the Philadelphia Times.
There are thousands of people WHO
IN oil well looked like after a lO0-quart
glycerine torpedo had been exploded in
it. But no ordinary mortal could crawl
down six-inch hole to the depth Of
1000 feet, If he wanted tC, and no sane
one would want to if he could. So the
curious oil-seeker has heretofore been
compelled to guess as to the effect of the
shot. An oil country photographer has
furnished the desired picture. The sue
cessful experiment was made at Warren
on Thursday. The instrument was let
down to the bottom of 200 foot we'll,
which had been subjected to torpedo
explosion. When the camera reached
the bottom bright flash lit up the cav
ity, impressing perfect picture on the
negative. A cavity fourteen feet broad
and seven feet deep below the Oil sand
was revealed. Into this cavity, enlarged
by the force of glycerine explosion
tIom the ordinary slx-inch drlll-hole,
the oil trickled and accumulated, ready
10 be pumped to the surface. Has ma
ture any more secrets she would like TO
hide from inquisitive man? If so, thev
will need to be buried beyond the reach
Of the oil driller's steel auger. Into

SUNDAY " Ork.

From the American MaChinist.
The questian of Sunday work has,
of course, Il moral SHE, and 1t is that
side which most strongly influences
many who are striving to lessen theevll.
Psychologists are universally agreed
that men need, for purely physiological
reasons. one DAYS rest out of seven.
There is plenty Of evidence upon this
question, all pointing in the same dlrec-
ton, and the conclusion Is invltable
that the almost universal desire of work
men for rest on sunday, and their
strong objection to working continuous
physiological law, which, like other laws
OF the kind. cannot be violated without
having to suffer the penalty. There is
good reason for believing that many

say that the presence OF body OF men
