tion OF a bishop that there were 1000
more applicants for baptism In India than
his sect could baptize. The reply OF the

If the government has to step in
to settle railroad strikes and take
charge of bankrupt railroads, the
sooner the government steps in to
prevent these calamities from
happening the better. These in
competent railroad companies must
be pushed aside and the govern
ment take charge of the entire
transportation business. The en-
ployes would then know in advance
what each mans pay would be
without change, and the public
would know to a cent what the cost
of transportation really was. When
will the people learn so plain a
lesson
If cold Hickory were in the
Presidential chair and the Carnagie
Steel Company had practiced such
frauds on the government as has
been prove on that band of thieves
in the armOr plate business, and
fraud that may or might prove a
thrust through the very vitals of
the nation, there wouldn't be a hair
left on that company of rascals
when he got through with them.
Every one of them would land in
the penitentiary or flee the country.
If democrats want to know
"where they are at" and on what
kind of ground they stand let them
compare the dastardly actions of
Grover Cleveland with what Old
Hickory would do, or would have
done when he adorned the seat
which is now the shame and dis
grace of this nation, had such an
act of treason against the safety of
the nation been enacted as this
Carnagie gang are guilty of.

able farmer that his business is

The Endeayor Convention.

The thirteenth International
Convention of the Christian En-
deavor Societies began its session
this year in Cleveland, o., ON last
Wednesday. In 1881 the whole
organization comprised only two
societies with sixty eight members.
In 1887 it had 2314 societies and
14O, 900 members. In 1891 it's
membership passed the 100000
mark the number of societies had
risen to 49, PA; and last year, when
it met in Montreal, the number of
societies had gorwn to 20,50O and
the membership to 100000. If
the same rate of progress has been
kept up the past twelve months,
the organization will be able to re-
port at Cleveland the existence of
5000 societies with a total mem
bership of nearly 1000, 200.

imously adopted:
WHEREAS, Our fellow member,
Mr.. J. A. Kirk, will with this
meeting conclude his official work
with us, therefore in testimony of
our appreciation of his faithful dis
charge of duty and good fellowship
we submit the following:
Mr.. Kirk, Your official duties as
School Commissioner, we are sorry
to say, are about to close.
In sundering your official work
with the schools of the county we
take great pleasure in saying that
you have labored earnestly and
intelligently, sparing neither mind
nor body for the building of the
cause of education.
You will retire from this Board
with the consciousness of having
faithfully performed the duties of
your Office in an acceptable manner.
Your work has come up to the
expectation of those whom you have
been serving, and you have done
much to advance the public school
interests of the county,
While your duties at times have
been arduous and perplexing, yet
you have much to look back upon
to make a chapter in your life's
history pleasant.
Time will attest the value of
your labors. You had the hearty
cooperation of as worthy and self
sacrificing trustees and faithful
corps of teachers as can be found
in the State.
You have differed with the ma
jority of the Board politically, but
we are happy to say you have not
allowed your politics in the slight
est manner to interfere in carrying
ON the educational work.
Your courteous treatment and
kindness to all the members of the
Board and Examiner will afford us
many pleasant remembrances.
1t is our earnest wish that your
successor may receive the same cor
dial support and sympathy of every
loyal supporter of the public schools
of the county.
May the future be kind to you.
Adjourned.

Tennis at Zion.

Communicated.
A very interesting tennis tournamet
was played last Tuesday OH the Zion
courts between the Zion and Bay View
clubs. The events were all rather close,
especially the mixed doubles which were
hotly contested and finally won by Zion.
Zion won every event and feels proud Of
her victory. The playing of Zion was
particularly brilliant at tennis and called
forth much applause from the large crowd
of spectators. After the match refresh
ments were served on the lawn by the
young ladies of the Zion club and al
though defeated, Bay View went home
much pleased with their first match while
Zion, with tears in their eyes, are looking

Look out for the Bulls Horns.

Watson I'll. Reeder of this neigh
borhood was gored by his bull a
couple ofweeksago. He fortunately
escaped serious injury. An ex-
perienced cattle man says the reason
bulls are vicious is they are not
handled properly when young. If
properly managed when they begin
to assume mastership of the yard,
they will always remain quiet and
are handled without danger. The
way to manage them he said was to
jab the bull in the head with a
pitch fork and yell Chi there.n

Eternal Vigilance

Is the price of health. But with all our
precaution there are enemies always
lnrking about our systems, only waiting
a favorable opportunity to assert them
selves. Impurities in the blood may be
hidden for years Or for generations and
suddenly break forth, undermining health
and fastening death. For all diseases
arising from impure blood Hoods Sar-
saparilla is the unequalled and unap-
preached remedy. 1t is King ofthem ALL
for it conquers disease.

repeating itself. 1t is vicious sys,

is our financial system. Any
person who will take the requisite
pains to investigate the subject can
readily trace to this source all the
strikes, the defalcatiOns, the idle

thefts, daring robberies and every
grade of immortality in state, church

underlying cause. All history
proves that the same cause has al

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.
It's 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
alive; 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,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.
