The old newspaper saying, "now
is the time 10 subscribe" was never
more true than at present. The times
are so full of incid ent, so many i'm
portant national and State affairs are
shaping themselves for a change,
that no one can afford to be without
a metropolitan daily or weekly. The
st. Louis Republic, the greatest dem
ocratic newspaper, is making a spe-
cial offer of its daily and Sunday pa
per for three months at $3.50. 1t is
Sc year by mail. The Twice-a-

-l04 papers-for only 81 year. In
addition to all the political news, it
prints every day spread of general
news and features not equalled by
any other paper.

FADS IN MEDICINE.

There are fads in medicine as in
every thing else and new thing"
frequently sells for short time
simply because ii is new. But in
medi zine, as in nothing else, the
people demand and will be satisfied
only with positive, absolute merit.
The fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla
has stood It's ground against all COM
petition, and It's sales have never
wayered but have remained steadily
at the top, demonstrates, beyond any
doubt. the intrinsic virtues of this
medicine. The new things nave
come and gone but Hoods Sarsa-
parilla rests upon the solid fouuda-
ton of absolute merit and its power
to cure, and its sales continue to be
, the larsos, 10 tho world.

THE Colorado delegates to the
81. Louis convention stood firmly
for conviction and principle, but
their efforts were only partially
successful. The general result of
the Populist convention was a dis
appointment to the people Fl tne
state. hence the absence Of the en-
thusiasm that followed the action
of the Chicago convention, and
prior to that, the bolt of the dele
gates from the Republican con-
vention at st. Louis. 1t is not
likely that there will be any rati-
fcatlon meetings. in the state to in
dorse the action of the Populist
convention. 1t is true that the
result might have been worse, but
under the circumstances our peo-
pie cannot be expected to enthuse
much.-Aspin Times.

STATE ELECTIONS.

The state elections which will be
held prior to the general election
for the president, are always a
matter of more than usual concern,
as the result in those states are
taken as an indication as to what
will follow in the national election,
says the Star. This year elections
will be held IN six states before
Tuesday, November 3rd; these
states and the order to which they
vote are as follows: Alabama will
elect a full state ticket August 3;
Vermont, Arkansas and Maine will
vote for governor September l, 7
and IA respectively; Florida and
Geoagia vote for a governor in
October, amp then there will be a
lull until November. There seems
to be no doubt that Alabama,
Arkansas, Georgia and Florida
will go democratic, while it is
equally safe to predict that Vermont
and Main will go republican,
probably by increased majorities.
Louisiana, went Democratic by q
decreased majority; Rhode Island
increased its Republican majority
while the vote on the congressional
ticket in Oregon was very close
two Republicans getting the re
turnsby an aggregate plurality o.
only six or seven hundred. At the
November election, besides the
presidential electors, governor.
will be chosen IN the following
states: Colorado, Connecticut
Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas
Massachusetts, Michigan, ,Minnesot;
Montana, Missouri, Nebraska, New
Hampshier, New York, Nortl
Carolina, North Dakota, Soutl
Dakota, Tennessee, Texas
Washington, West Virginia ant
Wisconsin. For the first tim
Utah will vote as a state, and the
electoral vote of the United State
is increased to 447, making tn
number necessary to a choice il

The county Schools.

The annual report of the county
school superintendent for the year
ending June 3Oth, 1896, shows
that that the total number of
schools maintained in the county
was 27, that the number of teach.
ers employed was 2S, Is male and
IL female teachers. The average
salary paid to mail teachers was
$50 per month, the average salary
of female teachers was $57 per
month.
Five new districts have been
formed during the last year, max
ing the total 25, which will .neis-
state the employment of 81
teachers this year. Four new
school houses have been erected.
Three of the teachers employed
last year were graduates of the
Normal school, two hold educa-
tional diplomas, 10 list grade
county certificates and II End
grade county certificates. The
average term of school for the
county was six months and one
half. The number of applicants
for teachers certificates during the
year was seventeen, eleven passing
successfully while six failed.
The total valuation of school
property of the county, not IN
the five new districts is
S13,21S.00. At the end Of the
present year this valuation will be
doubled.
The total amount of monies
paid into the school fund during
the year was S15,072.75. The
total expenditure were Sl4,6SO.-
so, leaving an unexpected balance
of $391.76.

1t is stated by those who claim
to know, that the Board of Sup.
ervisors will cut down tho school
apportionment this year, because
the schools had a surplus on hand
at the end Of the last school year.
The apportionment was none too
high last year and should not be
cut down. The schools have been
run very economically, and in the
Stafford district we know the
teachers did not receive pay
enough for the labor performed.
The average school term was
only six and one half months, and
about two-thirds Of them being
discontinued at 6 months, because
the trustees had no way of
ascertaining how much money
there would be, and bosing the
amount that would be received on
the amounts received other years,
it was considered to be unwise to
hold longer term. This is one
of the causes of the surplus. There
are also other causes, which it
would be well for the Board to
inquire into before lowering the
apportionment.
