He Deceived the People.

At Atlantic, Iowa, on May 7, G.
NJ. Allor, alias Scrip" Ailor, was
convicted Of deceiving the people by
selling Il worthless compound, which
he represented to be Hoods Sarsa-
parilla, and was sentenced by Judge
Macy to one year at hard labor in the
Iowa State Penitentiary. Ailor's
methods were those of travelling
fakir. He has been travelling
through Missouri, Nebraska and
Iowa. making stands of Il day or
more in each town, and representing
himself as an agent under salary
from {. |. Hood Il Co., and selling
his connection at one dollar or fifty
cents per bottle, giving with each
sale various other worthless articles.
Citizens of Griswold, Iowa, became
suspicious and ascertaining from a
druggist that Ailor's compound was
not Hoods Sarsaparila, but merely
colorcd water, had him arrested.
Three indictments were found against
him, the jury convicted him after
only thirty minutes delibcradon, and
he was sentenced as above. This
incident suggests the wisdom of pur-
chasing medicines only of reputable
dealers whom you know, Hoods
Sarsaparilla is never sold by ped.
oilers, and such offering It should be
at once reported to the authorities,

charge against the secretary of state
was the absence Ola patriotic Amcri-
can spirit, we have amply exposed
his libellcrS. The record Of the
soldier who sprang instantly to the
defence of the government when it
was assallcd, and shed his blood and
crippled himself for life in ITS SER
vice, is surely sufficient answer here.
For the rest, his ability was as con-
spicuous as his patriotism. His in
stincts were guided by the highest
intelligence. He was man rccog-
nizcd on all hands but those of I'M
scrupulous partisanship as always in
spired by high sense of duty. He
was admired and loved for simple
kindness of heart by all who knew
him. His personal popularity was
great. In every relation of public or
private life he was noble, upright,
pure. He leaves Il memory to which
posterity will not fail to do ample

Glad Ti,lings

From lands across the ocean wide,
From our own states so free,
From every hill and vale and plain
And islands Of the sea
Glad tidings come Of battles won,
OF onward moves each day,
Achieved by Templars brave and true,
While pressing on their way.
While glad news comes Of good deeds done
And lives from ruin brought.
Let US remember that this work
BY patient toll was wrought;
That we cannot obtain results
That will uplift our race
Unless we work and humbly pray
For Gods strong MD and grace.
Oh, may our order onward 80
And combat more and more
The dreadful curse Of every land
Than it has done bcforcl
May we resolve to win the day,
And never to retreat,
But ever fight until tho foe
Is crushed beneath our feet.
Then let rs now new courage take
And firmly let us stand,
United by our love and aim,
A strong, determined band.
Fear not, tor God is on our side,
Success will surely come,
And all the nations shall then be
Forever freed from rum.
