court overrules the demurrer that a
mandamus will not lie against the head
OF the coordinate branch OF the state
government. and refuses the writ asked
for, holding that the canvass is not yet
completed, that the board had right to
take recess for reasonable length of
time to secure returns from counties
from which proper returns had not been
received and which in its judgment it
might properly count. The formal
written decision will probably be hand
ed down Wednesday morning. All in
terested attorneys submitted the case
on the pleadings and papers already pre-
sented. This action will give certifi-

Something to Know.

1t may be worth something to know
that the very best medicine for restoring
the tired out nervous system to healthy
vlgor Is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centre in the stomach,
gently stimulates the liver and kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing off
impurities in the blood. Electric Bitters
improves the appetite, aids digestion,
and is pronounced by those who have
tried it as the very best blood purifier
and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for SOC

Picturesque COwardice.

There were few real towards in the
civil war, and yet many an officer on
both sides has amusing stories of cow
ardice to tell. especially OF the earlier
period Of the great conflict. General
Joseph E. Johnston. the Confederate
commander. now dead. used to relate
that In one Of those early battles, and in
the hottest part of the action, he felt
his coat-tails pulled. Turning about.

envy. So close were the vessels that the
hammers had to be run into the Oppo-
site ports in order to have room to en-
ter the guns. Driven from their gun
decks by the heavy charges of the Eng
Iish. the Americans mounted the fore
castle and upper decks and continued
the tight with hand grenades or musk
cts. Not satisfied with driving every
man on the Scraps below decks by fire
from aloft, they crawled out upon the
overhanging yards and dropped explos-
Ives down the matches, one Of which fell
into pile of cartridges and slaugh-
tered 20 men, besides wounding large
number.
When victory was almost within
grasp for Jones, the Alliance opened
recklessly upon the contending ship
and nearly sank the Richard. A cry OF
surrender was raised, but Jones prompt

llIa Presence Of Mind.

From the Cleveland Press: Once upon
a time Colonel A. T. Van Tassel, of the
West Side. was colonel of regiment of
soldiers. One evening. before he had
committed his book of military tao
tics to memory, he gave an exhibition
drill on Detroit Street. The colonel
and his little band Of soldiers made
quite a display marching down the
thoroughfare. They were greatly ad-
mired by large number Of spectators.
who formed In line on each side Of the
street. 1t is claimed that not single
error was made by either the colonel or
the soldiers until an attempt was made
to turn around in the street. 1t was
the colonel's fault. too. He forgot the
command necessary to turn the faces
Of the soldiers. The situation was be-
coming uncomfortable, when a happy
thought came into the colonel's mind.
He glanced upon his little band of SOL
diers and yelled: Break ranks and
charge on Blanchard's saloon!'

him that the president declined to in

and that his brother. John, acquiesced
In his doom and would be present at
the scene. Guitean looked me full in the

self. but he feared the vengeance Is the
Lord upon the nation" Then he slept.
Later. crazy woman, in an adjoining
cell. began to scream and shout and
sing. Guiteau awoke. For a moment
he seemed dazed. Then. taking in the
situation, he directed the guard to tell
that woman to be quiet, as she was
disturbing Gods man." The message
was delivered as given, and the crazy
creature sent back word, You tell
that fellow I'll make all the noise l
want to. and that I'm Gods woman"
and she did. Guiteau broke down on

Historic Work In Danger.

The great spire Of Salisbury cathe-
dral. which has stood over 500 years. Is
In danger. The cathedral was COM
pleted in 1858 and about century later
the present magnificent spire and tower
were built. In 1417 the chapter were
compelled to restore the tower and later
the spire was filed with beams and
stone and tied with iron, an opera
ton which Sir Arthur Bloomfield thinks
did more harm than good. In 1851 the
spire was found to be twenty-five
inches out of the perpendicular. and
this has increased some since that time.
1t is now a question among architects
how the spreading at the base OF the
tower can be stopped and the historic
spire saved.-London Graphic.
