SAVINGS BANKS FOR STAMPS.

1t is proposed to introduce "stamp

schools. From various Offices colored
stamps of six denominations nnd stamp
cards will be obtained. TO each per-
son wishing to become n dcpoGitor tho
local trcaGurcr gives him q stamp card
nnd sells him aS many stamps ns he has
money for. These stamps muGt be
paSted on tho card, The card, when
full, will probably contain about five
dollars.

that slim tho money Is taken and de-
po3itol for him in somc savings bank
that he may designate. The five dol
lars once deposited he begins again,
and the small sum grows to q larger
one under his hands. If he wishes to
withdraw he presents his card and
draws all thnt 10 on 1t. Then If he has
moro money than ho cares to use he
coils for another card and redcposits
the balance.
by this method NIL bookkeeping Is
avoided, the child always knows just
how much he has, and tho local treas
urer can tell in the same manner. If
the child loses the card, however, nc
loses his money, or, rather, all thht he
carried on that card.

MORE PRIsED THAN GOLD.

Author Kaufman, prominent
young business man of Memphis,
Tenn, who was in the recent wreck,
on the Wabash railway, in which a
large party of Worlds Fair excursion
lists were so terribly shaken up, has
returned home, with his head bound
up with a peculiar looking white
bandage, which he regards as most
precious possession. He says gold
and jewels could not buy that strip Of
cloth, and thereby hangs tale.
Kaufman says that when the collls-
ion came something hit him and he
lost consciousness. When he regain
ed his senses he was lying beside the
wreck of the car bleeding coplously
from deep cut on the head and un-
able to help himself. Just as he was
about to faint again from weakness,
an awfully pretty girl came up and
spied him. She was Miss Taylor, OF
Jefferson, Tex, who escaped injury in
the wreck. She realized that the
young man would bledd to death if
he was not attended to.
Without moments hesitation she
took her petticoat and tearing out a
strip bound it tightly on Kaufman's
head. The bleeding was checked and
his life was saved. TO say that lie
feels deeply greatful to the fair young
Texan would be drawing livery mild
ly and he vows he will keep the band
age as long as he lives.

THE TRUE FAITH.


The political faith, like all religious
belief, that cannot withstand test is
not worthy of being honestly en-
braced by any man. A writer dealing
with this subject, by comparison, has
we'll and truthfully said that some
people carry their religion into their
politics and some carry their politics
into their religion, so there is no diff
ference between fac simie and sic
famile. There are none of us infalli-
BILE, neither can it be said, truthtully,
that all our views or theories are ab-
solutely correct. This is free coun-
try. Man was put on this earth and
endowed with faculties for reasoning
and we must say that some reason
very sensible, too. We must show
respect before we can command 1t.
We must tolerate the views and ex-
pressions of others, however erroneous
they appear, if we wish them to accord
us respectful hearing in return, and
more especially if we would exert any
good influences over them. The
world is made up of many complex
characters, whose education and sur
rounding influences in life have been
totally different. We are not all born
with the same mental ability, ne more
than are we of the same physical abil-
ity, and how can we hope to reach
and reform if we wrap robe OF self
constituted righteousness around US
and, like clam in lis shell, refuse to
accept their views or accord to them
the courtesy and liberation we de-
mand at their hands No cause deep
rooted in justice was ever injured by
an assault upon 1t. On the contrary,

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than Others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval Of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup Of Figs,
2nd being well informed, yon will not
accept any substitute if offered.

"RoLAND FOR OLIVER. y

Replying to TRADE of abuse, utter
ed editorially by Henry Watterson,
through the columns of his paper, the
Courier Journal, threatening the
Southern Senators who championed
the cause of silver and predicting
party disaster because they contended
successfully against gold standard,
the Constitution Of Atlanta, Ga, says:
1--WE can heartily sympathizc with our
contemporaries wrathful protest
against delay and with his anxiety for
our beleagured interests, but right
here our pathways diyerge. We are
not looking 10 John Sherman for
council or wise rebuke, nor can we re-
gard the Southern silver Senators as
obstructionists when every telegram
and statement that comes from Wash
ington tells the story of their earnest
efforts to secure compromise ana
their eagerness to meet their brother
Democrats in caucus with view of
adjusting differences, while the anti
silver senator's are opposing caucus
and intimating If they go into it they
will not be bound by 1t. This plainly
shows who the real obstructionists are
and The country will hold the men re-
sponsible who refuse to consider a
compromise and vigorously oppose
the time-honored Democratic method

1t closes up Its ranks and makes every
one look to his arms, puts metal in the
blood that was becoming stagnant and
sluggish and each one looks sharp to
see that all points are protected and
strengthened, and all such opposition
acts as a strengthening cordial. A
man must be weak in the faith indeed
who fears to give hearing to an
opinion differing from his own. Such
men are one-sided, one-ideaed and
probably conscious of their weakness

A LOCAL APPLICATION.
General stringency in Money Ma e
ters Affecting Local Enterprise.

The nerve, energy and push display
ed by the stockholders and manage
ment of the Kansas City, Pittsburg
and Gulf railway, in pushing ahead
with the work of construction all
along the line of the road, from Kan
sas City to Texarkana, and that too in
the face of a threatened, if not already
existing, panic in financial affairs
throughout the entire country, is 81
most unparalleled in the history of
railway enterprise in the South. The
bold and progressive front which
these undaunted men have put on aud
maintained with honor to themselves
and credit to their enterprise should
command the respect and admiration
of all classes of our people, as it has
already won the gratitude and appre-
citation of thousands who have been
directly or indirectly interested in and
benefited by their action. But even
here the limit of endurance and power
of opposition has at last been reached,
and the nervy and daring spectators
have been forced to call halt ON the
steady stream of expenditure which
flowed out of the company's Golfers
in the consummation of this gigantic
undertaking, until the monetary crisis
which now blockades every artery OF
commerce and clogs the wheels of fl
nancial enterprise shall have passed
by the lapse of time or been avcrted
by legislative enactment. The extent
to which this enforced inactivity has
been felt along the line of the road is
well Illustrated by the following ar
ticle from a recent issue of the Wilton
| (Ark.) Advocate:
"We are sorry that we have no rail-
road items to offer our readers this
week, but the truth is everything is
SO doubtful IN railroad matters that
there is no telling when steps will be
taken towards the extending Of the
road. The stringency of money mat
ters is to a great extent, if not solely
responsible for the dullness.
Work is still progressing on the
northern end, but it is only for the
purpose of reaching certain points
Things have come to such pass that
the completion of this road through
to Kansas City is a necessity. Moth
ing will tend to develop this country
more than this great north and soutl
line and it is earnestly to be hoped
that the promoters will find some
means by which they can push i
through to finish,

SCHOOL NOTES.

The enrolment of East side public
school has reached upwards of $50.
We desire to use every available
means to promote the interests of the
school, and to remove every obsta-
Gle that might impede its progress.
In school work, as in all the affairs
Of life, the first condition to success is
punctuality. Pupils who are persist
entity tardy lose a large part of the
benefits of school, have a bad influence
on the other pupils, and worst of all,
are forming habits which will be
damaging to their success in life. On
this subject we quote the following
from the regulations adopted by the
Board of Education. "Every case of
absence or tardiness must be satisfac.
torily accounted for by written state
ment from the parent or guardian
The above, if enforced, will absolutely
prevent truancy and reduce absence
and tardiness to the minimum, and
will thus be potent factor in main
taining the efficiency of the school.
We shall enforce the regulation and
ask our patrons to lend us their CO.
operation. 1t will cost you little
trouble, but school that costs no one
anything is worth nothing to any one.
A successful school is the result of
the combined efforts of parent, pupil
and teacher. Respectfully,
j. 4. CowLING.

STILL THEY TALK.
The Senate Has But One Duty Now
To Fill the World With Words.


On yesterday morning a decidedly
slim attendance OF members was had
in the Senate Chamber and much
difficulty was experienced in securing
quorum. The first matter to en-
gage the attention of the Senate was
the New York and New Jersey bridge
bill which was referred to Committee
on Commerce.
A report from the Finance commit
tee was presented and read, contain
ing communication from the Treas
ury Department in response to the
resolution calling for information as
to the probability of deficiency in
the revenues of the Government. The
committee shows the deficit for the
first three months of the present fiscal
year to be over $21, 100000. At this
rate over $87,00O000 for the year. 1t
shows the actual expenditures during
the first three months to have been
over $98,000,O00, or an average of
about $S3000,00U a month. At the
same rate the expenditures for the
year would aggregate about 1894, 4,OO0,-
900, or about $21,000,0O0 more than
estimated expenses, and will show an
increase of expenditures over suppos-
ed actual receipts of little over $751;
100000. The Secretary says definite
forecast for the whole year is impos-
sible, but it is apparent should pres
ent conditions continue the deficit at
the end of the year will be about
$5O,OOO,OOO.
Mr.. Stewart (Rep. of New then
took the floor on the motion to amend
the journal of Monday last so as to
show the presence of Mr.. Teller when
he failed TO answer to his name on
roll-call. He argued that in the midst
of an exciting discussion there was
not time to change the rules Of the
Senate. In conclusion Stewart said
the appeal to the Vice President tc
make himself infamous throughout
all ages was most outrageous. He
was an American and would not lay
bis hand upon the Constitution and
laws of the country. The rules Of the
Senate were made for occasions like
the present, to protect the minol ity
and they would protect the minority
Mr. Dubois (Rep. Ida.) regarded the
present as an unfortunate occasion tC
attempt to change the rules. Nc
Senator would oppose by obstructive
methods the will of the people ex
pressed at the polls and there coult
be no doubt the people had sp0keI
through the instrumentality of the
ballot on the tariff question.
Mr.. Hill-Does the Senator know
of any method under the existing
rules whereby the majority can past
this or any other gill provided TWEEN
ty Senators are determined that i
shall not pass?
Thus the interchange of Senatora
pleasantries continued, but the Iowar
was no match for the shrewd New
Yorker, who shot his keen shafts o
satire straight to the mark and, more
than once, winning the tumultous ap
plause of the galleries. After time
the single combat became a down
right war of words, in which nearly
all present engaged. The session ad
iourned without, as usual, taking de
cisive steps in any legislative direc
ton.

To the lovers of the marvellous a
great treat is in store for them at the
Opera House Monday night Oct. 23,
when DR.. Charles Slade the celebrated
spirit medium who has been startling
the South will give one of his seances
that made him famous throughout the
English speaking world, not in dark
ness but in open light. Mr.. Slade
will give the manifestations which for
many years have attracted the atten-
ton of tho scientists and simpletons
alike. The London Spritualists say
the forms which are nightly seen and
recognized by the audience would
seem to be proof conclusive that they
are genuine spiritual manifestations.
Such eminent scientists as Professor
Crooks, Sergeant Cox, TyndalI, Hux-
ley and others who have proclaimed
these idealismus to be an astonishing
fact.
Dr. Shades open seance,was present.
ed by him before the leading scenti-
lic societies OF England, Australia,
Germany and France. Mr.. Slade was
submitted to the crucial test condi-
tions. A table rises and floats in the air,
flowers are brought to the audience by
invisible hands; slate writing. Ques-
tons written and retained by the in

penses.

is GRAVES DEAD ?

The above question is now being
asked in all sincerity all over the state
of Colorado, since the Rocky Noun
tain News, a prominent paper of that
state has published q sensational story
concerning the alleged death of DR..
Graves, which is supposed to have
taken place in the county jail, in the
city of Denver, Colo, Sept. 15. The
story is to the effect that Charles N.
Chandler, of Graves old home,
Thompson Center, Conn, who arrived
in Denver Tuesday with Stephen
Morse of the same town, told hotel
keeper that Graves was not dead, that
the casket was opened at Thompson
Center and found to contain pine
log, that the supposed dead doctor
was now enjoying liberty in foreign
country. A rumor has been current
in Denver for some time that the body
carried from the cell was wax, not
flesh, and that this trick was played
by high officials and secret organiza-
tions.
