"A False Diagnosis.

La Grippe is confounded by many
persons with severe attack of ca
tarrh, which in some respects re-
sembles the former. These individ
uals suffer severely with pain about
the forehead, eyes and ears, with
soreness in throat and stoppage Of
the nasal passages, and in fact, are
incapacitated for work of any kind
for days at q time. These are ca
tarrhal sufferers. Ely's Cream Balm
has been used with the best results
in such cases. The remedy will

The Fire Department.

AiO .
10 the Editor of the Republican.
The young gentlemen of the fire
department raised a handsome pole
tor q gong and flag at the building
Wednesday, evening of last week.
During q conversation with one of
the members l was surprised to
hear that the members were allowed
to pay for all materials except the
gong and some work given by one
OF the citizens. He further SAID:
"Some seem to have the erroneous
idea that the department is a pri-
vate concern and should be sup
ported by private funds. The
question is whether this department
l,esssaHfay benefit to Oakland, or will
it Eyer be any benefit, and if in the
affirmative, why not recognize it,
or otherwise haYe the council to
disband. " Our citizens may think
as summer approaches, that the
boys are possessed with a spirit
similar to that of the inhabitants of
"Sleepy Hollow" They are seek
ing constantly.to improve the build
ing and the surroundings. 1t
would well pay any citizen to visit
the department and see the arrange
ment that has been made by which
the members are kept together.
Owing to the untiring efforts of the
officers the reading room is kept IN
splendid condition. Noticing
quite a number of papers laying
about, | became curious to know
what the boys are reading. Look
ing them over | found the Ameri-
can and Hera1d,, daily papers,
Harper's, Scribner's and Leslie's
magazines. 1 find the boys have
recently purchased a set of Ency-
clopedia Britannica. They have
quite number of books by stand
ard authors. The department has
done a noble work among the
young men this year. 1t has
helped to reclaim a good many that
seemed to haYe started on their
downward course. Such an in
strument of good should be nour-
ished by the people of the town,
not only because of the good
morally it has done or may do, but
because in the time of fire those
young men will be our safeguard.
In town built as Oakland is there
is strong possibility should fire
break out, that the whole town, or
greater part must go. Granting
that their implements are on a
small scale, (the authorities might
have bought something more eff
cient if they had deemed the
engine we have inadequate for the
preservation of property let that
be as it is, surely any reasonable
reader will agree with the statement
that the department is a regular
organized organization, and as
such will do more for the protection
of property than any rabble. What
has rabble ever accomplished or
done? The last of any note melted
away like the snow on a south
hillside, without accomplishing
anything. When we plant tree
or shrub, when we begin any new
industry, we that believe in protec-
tion, think that it shonld be nour-
ished. So it is with the Fire De-
partment. Now that it is started
let us do all we can to help it
along. Looking oyer the Mid
Summer Edition l noticed that our
genial editor neglected to mention
that Oakland possessed such a
thing as chemical engine and g
hook and ladder brigade.
An old adage says "Actions speak
louder than words,'' l am sure
the boys will win, when called
upon, the grateful thanks and
praise of the people.
