now.
The county road hands are now at
work on the road leading from the
capital out back of the old Rutherford
farm and they are intending to make
a nice, smooth road clear out past e

The old Rutherford place has
change hands and will be cut up into
blocks next year and sold.
La grippe has been passing through
this vicinity some, but not as severe
as it has been for the past two or three
years. This dreadful disease has kept

some time, but he is a great deal bet

Messrs. Deem 81 Shannon, merchants
of this place, having filled their store

Well, the ch Dir at the Walnut chapel
downed the preacher last Sunday.
Rev. Thompson, he minister in charge,
gave an order for the organ and choir,
which was seated in the alcove back
OF the pulpit, to be moved down in
front After the exchange the stub
born choir seated themselves down in
the audience, and when called upon to
help sing everyone refused. Even the

refused, saying Sne felC pad

general way of feeling. Their nice

fear they are great deal like some
other Christians; think more of dress
and fashion than they do OF their
souls. Even one of the stewards voted
against his minister and for fashion
rather than good, saving religion.
Pray for him Christians, that he may
see his error aud act quite differently
i'll the future
This brings to mind that old song,

better than this fashionable, aristo

HE RESIGNS.
De. F. D. niels Resigns as a Member Of
the Pension Examining Board.

DE-. F. E D niels Resigns as a Member Of
the Pension Examining Board.
DIR. f. e, Daniels, one OF the recent
ly appointed members of the United
States pension examining board, has
rendered his resignation as a member
OF said board. The doctor is forced to
this for two reasons. One being that
ne is holding q position In the state
quarantine department, and therefore
cannot hold federal position, and
the other Is that the additional duties
of both ori'ces IL too much for him,
and he intended giving up one or the
other even before the United States
attorney generals Office by q recent
ruling held that ne must do so. It iH
highly probable that DR.. Bennett will
be chosen 10 the place made vacant by
DR., Daniels, as he is strongly en-
dursed therefor by both the retiring
member and the fraternity of the
city.
The readers Of The STATESMAN are
we'll acquainted with the interesting
gleauings OF news that were attend
ant upon DR.. Daniels recent election
to the board, and the objection
that was said TO have been
offered TO him by Commissioner
LOchren because of his being on the
southern side in the late war. That
matter was found to be al error at
some poirt along the line, however,
and the doctor was appointed all right
enCC0h, His resignation at the pres
ent ime IL due solely to the causes
above stated as to the conflict in the
state and federal offices, and the doc
tor prsierring the state, gave up the
federal job.

The Genuine and the Sham.

Every good thing has its host of inn
jtators, every genuine article its coun-
terteits. The imitators always choose
the most valuable and popular article
to counterfeit, 30 that when they claim
their sham to be equal, or as good, or
the same as $50 and So's,' the public
may depend upon it that $50 and
Sos" article is the best of the kind
The sham proves the genuine merit
of the thing, it copies aud never has
this been better illustrated than by
the limitations of AllcOck's Porous
Plasterh.
Allco"k's Porous Plaster is the
standard of excellence the world over,
and it's imitators in their cry, that
theirs is "as good as Allcock's" are
only emphasizing this fact and ad-
uniting Allc0ck's to be the acme of
perfection, which is their highest am
bition to initiate. The difference be-.
tween the genuine and these imi.
tations, which copy only general ap-
pearance, Ia as wide as that between
copper and gold.
The only safe way for purchasers is
always insist upoD having AllcOck's
Porous Plasters. They are the only
perfect plasters ever produced.

Humoring the Horse.

DR.. Leahy, a horse trainer, says in
an exchange: "When horse stops
and proposes to Lurn around don't re-
sist the turn, but give him a quiet
horizontal pull in the direction he in
tended to 90, and if possible keep him
going around half q dozen times. In
most cases this will upset all his cal
culatiOns, and he will go quietly on
without much ado. If six turns will
not do give him twenty, " fact; if
he will keep on turning to your rein
you are sure to conquer, as enough
turning will confuse him and leave
him at your command, If he will not
turn and will back TO the rein keep
him going back ward in the direction
you want to go. flo will soon get
tired Of that and prefer to go with the
right end forward, but betOle you let
him 60 give him decidedly more back
ing than he likes ."--Exchange.
The above item has been going the
rounds of the alleged agricultural
press until it is time some /, dy calls
attention to its fallacy. In the
first place horse does not
always stop on such ground as
to admit Of such tactics as DIES
cribed. If he does and you are
driving him single the treatment rec
commended is all right; but the sag.
gestion about backing ia dangerous
and should not be followed. Your
horse will stop ofrener on hill than
on level ground. suppose you teach
him that as soon as he stops you will
puuisu his mouth with the bit. He
begins to back down hill and before
you can stop him you 60 over into "a
ditch Do not teach a balky horse to
back. 1T is dangerous.

Short Courses in Agriculture.

Many agricultural colleges now
offer shot winter courses in agricul-
ture. They are doing all they can to
widen the opportunities tor young
men to get instruction in agriculture.
The courses are carefully arranged
and the instruction is practically free.
Many have attended these winter
schools of agriculture with profit aud
pleasure. More will do so. There
never was q time when there was
greater need for young farmers to
have all the instruction in agriculture
they can possibly get. The win
school of agriculture cannot give them
all they need, but what it does give
them is most valuable. The educa-
tional work of the school does not
stop when the students return home.
Not few will continue the study,
reading and investigation commenced
while in attendance at school That
is one of the objects of the short course
in agriculture, to start the young
farmer in the right road. Through
these short courses the agricultural
colleges have gained students for the
full, regular cOurses.-EX.
