Those Unreasonable Greasy Mechanics.
It is very unfortunate for Gen. Har-
rison just at this time, when he is
about entering upon business mans
and workingman's campaign that
Andrew Carnegie, Mr.. Phipps and
other protected manufacturers should
be SO much annoyed by their workmen.
Candidate Harrison will soon want
these protected manufacturers to con-
tribute to the Republican campaign
fund and the manufacturers ore getting
ready to "give down" handsomely. But
here steps in the annoying workman
and says he and about 10000 more
of his fellows will go out on strike if
their wages are reduced, as the manu-
features have announced will be done.
These workmen are positively unrea-
sonable. News.
Real Surprise In Store for Reid.
The surprise" of Mr.. Reid over his
nomination is very much like the sur
prise of a young girl who has in
structed her mother to invite her
friends to visit the house and "sur-
prise" her on a specified night Mr..
Reds surprise would have been much
greater if his brazen and deliberate
plans had miscarried and the nomina-
ton had gone elsewhere. The time
when Mr.. Reid will be surprised will
be election night.-Omaha World.

Benjamin Harrison's political history

President by minority of the people.
He owes his nomination to Democratic

publicly used for tho first time, and be-

and land for an academy to be located
within the bounds Of the association, at
the point giving the most encouragement.
Ellensburgh, North Yakima and Ahian-
um made offers for this institution.
These offers were presented at the meet
ing Of the association in the spring OF
Of 1890. That Of Ahtanum was most en-
couraging. Sixty acres Of good land was
offered by Fem B. Woodcock and wife,
and a subscription in money and labor
amounting to about $4,000 accompanied
the offer Of land. Also the strong moral
support Of the community was pledged to
Il. The association voted It's hearty ap-
proval Of the proposition to found such
an institution, and approved Of its location
in the Ahtanum valley. The following
board Of trustees was secured and incor-
porated in July, 1890: Hon. r. K Nich-
OILS, president; Rev. S. II. Cheadle, Sec
retary; Fem B. Woodceck, treasurer; /;
Rev. Samuel Green, Rev. Frank 7. Me-
Conaughy, HoR. D. W. Stair, Mr.. John
CoWan, Capt. J. H. Thomas and Dan W.
Nelson, trustees.
Various plans for starting the institu-
ton were discussed, but the stringent
financial condition Of the country caused
all action to be postponed until the next
season. In the spring Of 1891 the sub
scription list was renewed and extended,
and preparations made for beginning the
building. The corner stone vas laid in
August Of that year, and 4 solid stone
foundation was completed. Mr.. John A
Williams was engaged to superintend the
construction Of the building, and plans
were adopted for three story building,
S6x56, with stOry-and-a-half Wing 24x32.
This building was completed in Septem-
Der, 1892, and furnished ready for use at
a cost Of 5000. The school was opened
with appropriate exercises on the 26th Of
September, Prof. W. A. Heiney being
principal; Rev. +. McCOnaughy. in

IDVERTSEHEKTS SOURCE OF EDUCATION
GIadstOne Always studied the An.
nOuneemenG Pages Of AmeFI-
can Magazines.

In a recent interview Mr.. Gladstone
stated that after looking through an
American magazine he always studied
tfe advertising pages, thereby gaining an
opinion Of our commercial as well as our
literary ingenuity. This system Of the
great liberal leader may seem tedious to
many people who do not possess his as
siduity In acquiring information. Yet
there is acertain variety Of interest in ad-
vertisements that will repay the attention
Of even the busiest mind. The method
Of making these public announcements
is business by itself. Clever writer's
who have a special talent for catching
the fancy Of customers are employed In it.
These anonymous authors frequently earn
larger incomes than novelists whose
works are well known. They devote
their skill to putting much matter in a
little space. Their efforts are brief and
pithy as proverbs, avoiding all redund-
ance of rhetoric and arriving at the gist
Of the argument without preface or
apology.
People who are Wearied Of politics and
have no further taste for news can derive
curious and instructive enjoyment in
considering the announcements Of those
who have something to sell to their neigh
bors. In this way much information may
be had Of topics with which we are unae-
quainted. Advertisements are the inter
course between the employers and en-
ployes, between the shops and society,
between folks who want to earn money
and those who wish to spend it. That
benilicent theory Of government which
declares us all free and equal is excel
lently maintained by the advertisers.
The poor man and the rich, the famous
and the obscure, are placed on level In
the republic Of letters.
But the most remarkable benefit Of ad-
vertisements to the general public con-
sists in their function as universal en-
cyclopedia, catalogue, hand book, an
index, a summary, complete and una
brdged dictionary Of all the woes and
blessings that flesh is heir to. II IA man
has stains on his clothes or his reputa-
ton, pains in his head or his heels; If he
wants to learn anything or teach any
thing, this is he fountain head to which
he must 20. There is little Of benefit 10

ACADEMY COURSES, BY W. N. HENEY.
This institution opened on the 18th Of
last September under mdch embarrass-
ment, and after much personal sacrifice
on the part Of it's promoters. At this
time 1t can well he said that IL has been
successful beyond a reasonable hope, and
promises to give central Washington one
Of the best educational institutions in the
state. It has a we'll endowed property,
a commodious new three story building
for school and dormitory purposes, with
hot and cold water on all floors; q we'll
equipped kitchen and dining room, thus
enabling the academy to maintain and
manage its own boarding department.
The enrolment on the first day was "a,
and has increased until It has reached 50
as will be seen by reference to the list Of
pupils. There are now open and in
structiOns being given In the following
departments:
lst.-The preparatory department re-
ceives pupils who have some knowledge
Of the elementary department. The time
required depends upon the advancement
Of the pupil when entering, and his nat
ural ability and inclination to do rapid
work. No pupil will be kept back for
the sake Of keeping him with class.

Spokane Chronicle: Charles Brooks,
the colOred man who departed this life
several months ago in the Jail yard, has
made his second appearance on earth, II
the statements Of some Of the clerks in
in the auditors Office are to be credited.
The resurrection Of Brooks is the talk Of
the courthouse officials to-day. For some
days past the clerks who have been get
ting out the tax rolls have been engaged
nights as well as days.
A. C. Hansen was at work all Of last
night upon these documents. During the
midnight vigil Hansen had occasion to
leave the office for a few moments. II
was during this brief respite from labor
that the Brooks manifestation became
visible to him. Perched upon the apex
Of the scaiFOld, which still adorns the Jail
yard, was the figure Of a dusky man.
Hansen rubbed his eyes aud looked again.
Sure enough, figure sat perched on the
scaffold, coal black eyes darted fiery
glances in his direction, and Hansen's
scalp began to quiver and bis hair stood
on end. He eeould scarcely move, through
fright.
Tie next instant the figure raised lie

relieve itself from choking. Hansen
could stand 1t no longer and he appealed

secure tobacco for the army during the
civil war. Upon visiting the camps at
Fredericksburg aud elsewhere and asking
the soldiers what they most Nished to

measure encountered much opposition in

after the war closed provision was made
for tobacco ration in the army supplies,
and the soldiers still receive 1t.

HISTORICAL SKETCH BY REV. $. II. cHEADLE
Some twenty years ago Rev. G. II. At
kinson, superintendent Of Congregational
work in Washington and Oregon, began
to agitate the question Of starting an in
dustrial school in the Yakima resion,
and suggested that the Ahtanum valley
was the place for it, He referred to this
scheme every time he visited the Congre-
gational churches in these valleys, and
urged the brethren to plan for it. But
the country was not yet ready for it, and
money was not here to equip and run
such an institution. DIR. Atkinson died
without seeing the realization Of his
hopes. But in the autumn Of 1889 the
Yakima association Of Congregational
churches took mp the matter and appoint
ed a committee to receive offers OF money

Pope Gregory XIII reforTed the Julian
calendar by dropping ten days in 1882,
and making January l, instead Of March
25. the beginning Of the new year. Hol-
land. then the leader Of Europe In science
and learning, instantly approved the
change. Scotland adopted the reform in
l6 %, but England failed to do so until
1852. Even then the people could not
understand the reason for the change aud
complained bitterly that their rulers had
rubbed them Of a portion Of their lives.
It took England nearly 200 years to
bring herself abreast modern science and
civilization, and Russia has not done so
yet. Rnssia is still "old style" in more
sense than one.

German
Syrup"

The majority of well-read phys
icians now believe that Consump-
ton is a germ disease. In other
words, instead Of being in the con-
stitution itself it is caused by innu-
merable small creatures living in the
lungs having no business there and
eating them away as caterpillars do
the leaves of trees,
A Germ The phlegm that is
coughed up is those
Disease. parts of the lungs
which have been
gnaved off and destroyed. These
little bacilli, as the germs are called,
are too small to be seen with the
naked eye, but they are very much
alive Just the same, and enter the
body in our food, in the air we
breathe, and through the pores Of
the skin. Thence they get into the
blood and finally arrive at the lungs
where they fasten and increase with
frightful rapidity. Then German
Syrup comes in, loosens them, kills
them, e:pells them, heals the places
they leave, and so nourish and
soothe that, in a short time eonsump-
dves become germ-proof and well. .
