Then we walked out in the country a

little front yard filled with flowers. l

r INVENTORIES scATHING REMARKS.
Mrs. Mary A. Livermore spoke the SEN
timent of the w. C. T. U. with regard to
the recent ''original package decision, in
a speech in Massachusetts, last week. This
is what she said:
"Our amazement at it is stupendous,
and would be more so but for the fact that
other Supreme Court decisions ave been
heard. That old granny-and it is an in
suit to grannies to call him such-Judge
fancy, who once declared that the black
man did not possess one of the rights of
the white man, and then said it was good
law, is remembered by being forgotten,
even though a marble bust of him does
exist. II Congress does not do something
to override the Supreme Court decision,
there will be a great drop somewhere. The
papers and women of the West are excited
over it, and if something is not done the
latter may resort to violence, although it
is hoped not. lift he'd been a woman who
possessed the senility to make such a de
cision as the original package one. | would
go ten miles to shake her; but the Supreme
Court Judges are old men WHO must nave
an afternoon nap. You might as we'll go
to Arlington Cemetery with a case as to
the Supreme Count"
Mrs. Livermore predicted that the origi-
nal package decision would mean the de-
struction of the Republican party in the
West unless something was done by the
present Congress 10 undo the wolk of the
Supreme Court. She also referred TO the
trouble over the public Lar decision in
Boston, aid said it mado 10 difference

AT HUMPHREYS STORES

Twenty-Five years ago last month
we commenced business at the cor
ner, and our trade has gradually
and steadily grown year by year
until now it is the largest in the
county. Our reputation as mer-
chants is we'll known, and no man
has yet dared to proclaim or assert
that our business methods were not
straight. We are just as eager to
do business now as we were in 1866.
Although we were twenty-five years
younger then than now our chosen
occupation still has its attractions.
We will continue at the old
stand, and invite all our old friends
to continue with us and as many
new ones as may conclude to give
us a trial.
We will keep up our stock SO
far as the wants of the people seem
to demand, and in the future as in
the past try to give each of our pa
irons full and equitable value for
their money outlay.
Ladies Stockinettc Coats, cut on
new patterns, perfect filters and ele-

barley. Every dollar he spends for flour
pays the farmer fifty cents for wheat;
every dollar he spends for butter pays the
farmer from fifty to ninety cents; of every
dollar lie pays for meat the farmer gets
from thirty TO fifty cents; every dollars

MAKES 1T A NATIONAL ISSUE.

An honest confession and admission is
that of the Christian Union in commenting
upon the"oliginal package" decision. 1t
says:
"a more far-Ieaching tfft ct of this de-
cision may be 10 give a standing 10 the
p~rohibitory party as a national organiza-
ton. Hitherto temperance men who fay-
ored stringent anti liquor legislation have
yet equally ~strtnuously opposed the pro-
hibitory party, because they have main
tanned a doctrine of local ~option-that is,
the right of each locality TO regulate the
sale of liquor for itself. We have our
selves been of this inclination, and our
opinion may, Therefore. be at least regald-
ed as disinterestcd. This decision COM
pels everyone to recognize that prohibition
is a National issue"

The Court III session last week granted
hotel licenses 10 all applicants, and pos
sibly would have granted more had they
been asked for. One additional licensed
house at Pennsville, and a sew one at
Confederation which license las been
withheld for a number OF years past
was restored to fellowship. This gives
two additional saloons in the county and
it is supposed the Democratic vote this fall
will show a corresponding increase. We
have heard that the applicant from Centre

the majority in his township of fifty, if in

THE OPERA HOUSE
We have made especial prepara-
tons for this season, particularly in
Boys and Children's Clothing.
1t is not at all times convenient
for the mother to take her little
boys to the city, besides it is expen
sive. We have over twenty styles
and patterns of children's apiece
suits at all prices from sI.5o to
s5.75, and there is a saving in the
price OF every one-in other words
there is not a single suit but we can
and will sell you cheaper than you
can match it for in Philadelphia.
This being the case it would seem
like a waste of time and money to
go to the city Tor these wants. Stop
in and look through our stock.
Those in charge will take pleasure
IN showing it to you. You are not
expected or importuned to buy.
We have invested thousands Of
dollars in our Spring Stock of
Clothing for Youths and Young
Men, and can suit all both in quality
and in price.
We still take 10 per cent. off on
shoes, and will continue to do so
until further notice. 1t makes prices
low. Stop i'll and sec how low we
are selling them. Every pair war

If anyone knows and would tell US just
what prompts some around town to be SO
eager for the water works question to be
voted on favorably we certainly would be
thankful for the information. While we
believe our people are opposed to the pro-
position by a large majority, there are
some that have been recently attacked
with a severe case of public welfare and a
desire to help the town. If they had ever
before had any %piemonitory symptoms of
this kind it would not excite our curiosity,
but it would appear to have suddenly come
upon them. Just what there is back of all
this, il anything, that the public don't
know, we would be glad to find out. We
don't want to think there is any jobbery
in it, but such notions will creep in and
we can't dispel them. Is anyone i'll posi-
ton to enlighten us and will they do so?

III on the "Origfnal
Decision of the supreme Court.

The original package business in Des
M%oines, Iowa, is booming. Twelve places
are open, with stocks on hand, although
they seem to need frequent replenishing.
Tile sales OF one house are said to have
been $500 ille first day. One cannot step
into a freight yard Of any of the main rail-
way lines wiihout seeing from two to six
refrigciators of beer standing upon the
side track waiting TO be unloaded. No at
tempt has been made to interfere with these
places of business and none is expected to
be made. Mayor Campbell says he intends
to stop the sale of liquor in Des Moines,
meaning the retail traffic by The drink, but
this effort so far has been signally futile.
The saloons are still in business, and evi.
IDENTIFY expect TO continue.

nearly all tie cities of Iowa will have Ii

JUSTICE MILLER ATTEMPTS TO EXPLAIN.
The Rev. j. P. Teter, a Methodist clergy
man at Oskaloosa, a personal friend of
Justice Miller, has received a letter from
him giving his reasons for his decision in
the original package case. 1t contains the
following
81 venture to hope that I shall not
wholly forfeit your esteem because, In
obedience to that sense of conscientious
duty which l have no doubt prompts you
In this matter, | have felt bound to follow
the decision made by this court more than
sixty years ago and has never been doubted
or disputed from that day TO this. Indeed,
that decision, in addition to being a de-
cision of this court, WAS one which fell
from the lips of the greatest constitutional
lawyer that this Government ever had. 1t
was based upon the construction of the
Constitution of the United States. This
construction has rot been altered since,
and the judgment of the count has re-
NAMED without question from that day to
this, now sixty years.
Many people, like you, | think, have
the ldea That tie supreme Court is oath
bound in its decisions by the views they
have Of abstract moral right. But We are
as much sworn to decide according to the
Constitution of the United States as you
are bound by our conscience to a faith in
The Bible. If my views Of the true mean
ing Of the Constitution Of the United States
in a question brought be fore ne as a Judge
of one CT the courts OF the country should
compel me to differ from the hole world
| should do il couIageously, as | have no
doubt Yen would stand by any doctrine
which yeu believe to be taught by the
Holy Bible. This is the only letter | have
tttmlttd TO aIhTtr tD this subject, and
however my friends think | have erred on
this subject | must bear their censure."

period will offer the residents of
Nevada a Bond Combining Insur-
ance and inv estment that is in each
os all and which every healthy able
bodied man in the State should
possess--for the protection of hlm-
self and family.
In explanation read what follows:
Suppose a special agent Of the U.
5. Treasury Department should call
ou you today and say:
The Government would like to
sell you bonds for any amount be-
tween ST 900 and $50, 900 and if it
is not convenient for you to make
the investment at once, we will al
low you to pay for the bonds in
Ten Equal Annual lnstallments.
And, suppose, in addition to this,
the Government, wishing to make
this the most desirable investment
IN the world, should stipulate in
the bond, not only to pay them at
the end of the term, but in case of
your previous death, to pay them
to your family and AT THE SAME
TIME RELEASE YOUR FAMILY
EROM PAYING ANY FURTHER
MONEY.
Would you not at once close
with such an offer? And yet this
is practically what the Manhattan
Life Insurance Company, of New
York has done and is doing.
