Is He On g Cold TraIi2

Ell. PsgiSter-Comuenting upon an
article in recent issue of your paper
on conference School Location" the
MADISON Comfy Democrat says OF the
article that it Is loose" and of the
writer: AS ne is on cold trail and
a back track we will not modest him
The writer Of that article hereby
tenders his sincere thanks for the
above words. for they mean one thing
only, namely: the statements in said
article are SO true and 80 just pOr-
trayal of which did take place that a
consistent man could not find 1t il his
heart to deny any part of it,
More explicitly the words of the Dent-
ocr0t mean: He tells the truth and We
cannot deny it, hence. I'VE will not
modest him" Tie article of your
contributor" must indeed have been
..loose'' at both ends to have gone
whirling through their ranks with such
terrific force as to strike them speech
less-to reply. But one might ex
press surprise that the Democrat should
take the matter to itself when it had
nothing to do with the propositions
submitted.
The representatives of Frederick
town vino were present on that Occa-
sion were the parties to reply. but with
u0nderTui accord they are sagact0usIp
stIerat. There can be no doubt that
the public fully appreciate their sill
ence. which is very becoming and hides
a multitude of shortcomings. How
we'll all this accords with the words of
the strong speaker alluded to in the
former article. Here they are: Not
withstanding the Commission has
been called at the instance of the rep
resentatives of Fredericktown they
came up here without their subscrip-
ton; and Arcadia has by far the better
proposition of the two" Rather
weighty words these. Let US look in
to the matter little bit more closely.
Remember. reader. that on January l,
1891 Arcadia bad only $4,000 aud
IUu acres of land, and yet has II not
been incOntestabIy proven that Arcadia
had by far the better proposition of
the two?" Then, how little of S25, 900
must Fredericktown have had at that
timei
Yet this kind of work secured en-
thusiasm, secured votes, secured the
school. And this is the way to build
church" school so that it shall be
-ucces.ful; and right nooly ~ are
some defending with pen and tongue
this sort of thing! Successful? Mon
str0ue delusion! God lives.)
As to the ..cold trail and back
track the article accom- plished about
ali that was intended: let the public
know just what was said and done by
the t%o principal contestants and give
ample opportunity for any who felt
that there was any misrepresentation
10 correct the same. However, if the
trail is yet too cold your ..contribu
tor might freshen it up little by
putting kesner scent upon that "oack
track
Finally. readily admitting that a
gap" was Purp0Seiy left down" with
the hope that some of these coura geous
gentlemen would walk in thereat(to the
end that the gap" might be more eff
fectually closed up it is asked how
could the article be otherwise than
loose when getting down to a con-
sideration Of such miserable subter-
fuge and dwelling nonsense as were
exhibited on Jan. l, 1894? \.
Mrs f E. Davis. of San Miguel, Cal.
says: Il am trying in measure to
repay the manufactures of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy for the great
good their remedy has done me. For
years | was a constant sufferer from
weak lungs and bronchial asthma.
My rest at night was disturbed by a
hacking cough, SO that felt miserable
the greater part of the time. Many
remedies recommended by friends we're
tried, none of which proved suitable to
my case. | did not experience any
beneficial results until | began taking
Chamberlain 5 Cough Remedy. After
two bottles of the large size have been
used I am pleased to state, my health
is better than it has been for years.
The soreness has left my lungs and
chest and | can breathe easily. 1t has
done NE so much good that l want all
who are suffering from lung troubles,
