NATIONAL LEGION.
CIRCULAR NO. 8.

SlINCO A4<AAe ANO- u
The Reform Press have again, at
their annual meeting, at Dallas, Texas,
endorsed the National Legion; and the
noble editorial band congregated there
for the good OF our cause will take up
the work Of organization with zeal
that cannot help but aid the enterprise
grandly. 1t is the duty of all the peo-
pie to respond now. The party is a
unit in favor Of the Legion plan Of
work. It fills the wants of the people.
1t is needed now in every county and
every precinct. Delay is dangerous.
We must act at once. There is no red
tape, no secrecy, no cumbersome plan.
All 1t needs is for live patriot to call
ten or more people-men or women
together, elect officers and report the
names, and send fifty cents to me at
Omaha, when charter will be promptly
issued and forwarded without delay.
Do not let any man hold you back in
this work. Selfish men have blocked
the way long enough. None but enc
mics in disguise will do 1t now. Every
human being in our ranks recognizes
the supreme necessity upon us. 1t must
be done You can organize without a
recruiting officer; but we want live men
and live women to accept commissions
and push the work in every state until
victory crowns our efforts.
The Clubs are under my charge, and
We earnestly appeal to each one or
ganized to send for charter and thus
unite with National Order. Our cause
will WIN II we have Legion at every
ballot-boI. TbS enemy are united and

The 1897 calender contains a un-
Ique arrangement of dates that
Will prove very helpful and con
Venient to busy men, and p eDty
of space is allowed for memoranda,
SO that the block may he used as a
diary, or in any event will become
storrhouse Of the many little
things one desires to be reminded
of Jay by DAY.
The twelfth edition is bright
with contributions from friends
and riders OF the Columbia bicvclp
for such host of friends has the
calendar acquired that it has be-
CINE a customary practice for
whcelmen all over the country to
lot down their best thoughts and
inspirations after the exhilarating
influence of Columbia ride and
send them in to brighten the cal,
endar's pages. In addition, the
moons phases are indicated tor the
benefit of those who wish to know
the best time for night riding.
One feature of the calendar is its
neat stanr, 50 arranged that the

we admire his cordial cooperation

what we believe in to get near the

A Timely Friend.

With perfect propriety may we call
that excellent remedy, Salvation Oil,
timely friend. This liniment rapidly
cures rheumatism, neuralgia and pains,
when other remedies fail. Mr.. Jno.

suffered with rheumatism in the ankle

Salvation Oil at once relieved the sore
ness, reduced the swelling, and cured
the pain. No other liniment that l ever
used did me so much good"

SCHOOL CLOSING.


FRIDAY afternoon in the presence
of a good audience the closing sess-
ION of the public school for 1896 was
held.
The regular order of school work
was carried on and the classes under
the direction of II. K. Tate and Miss
Sarah Ables elected warm approval
from those present at their intelli-
gent performance of their duties by
all the classes while the perfect Or
der maintained was a grand endorse
ment of the teachers control Of the
school.
At 3 o'clock Rev. r. S. Umbarg-
err who was present, was introduced
and sang a beautiful song, 'Life's

es followed. Mai. Thomas II Hill,

PRODUCED Mr.. VIM. Owen, who pre-
scented Miss Maud Brown with a
handsome book, California Sketches
as the reward for the spelling class,
she having achieved the honor of
spelling every word correctly during
the four months session now closed.
Then Mr. w. S. Pryor was introduce
ed to give the prize offered by him
to the scholar making the best aver
age, but here a dilemma appeared.
Two scholars were exactly alike IN
mark and consequently two prizes
were given, one to Amanda Curtis
and the other to Emma Gabel. Then
Mr.. Umbarger sang another pleasing
selection. Major Hill then made
the presentation of books to the IL
scholars who during the term had not
been absent or tardy, the books be-
ing contributed by Mr.. G H. Pear
son, John w. Graham, N. Burnett

suggestion of Senator Vest decided
not to take the matter up until af>
ter the Christmas recess, is causing
much talk. 1t is said that Senator
Vest merely wants to hang the
nomination up until the Mo. Legs
islature has reelected him to the
Senate.
Prominent republicans, includo
ing Chairman DingIey, promptly
denied the rumor that they were
preparing to attempt to rush the
tariff bill, upon which the MAORI,
ty of the House Ways and Means
committee are now working,
through this Congress during the
closing days OF the session, so as to
avoid an extra session Of Congress
That there are prominent repubIi~
cans who would gladly avoid an
extra session is certain, but that
they are not likely to adopt such
q useless method OF trying to dc so
as this rumor indicated il also GER
tain. Neither will they try to pass
the Dingiey bill at this session.
In providing for its holiday re-
cess Congress took the limit, two
weeks from Dec. % to Jan. 5. Some
members may have voted for this
long holiday Just from a grown up
boyish feeling that holidays can
never be TOO long, but there is a
suspicion that others did 20 be-
cause it would reduce the probabo

EX-PRESIDENT HARRISON will dis
cuSS our national finances in an article
on "The Secretary of the Treasury,
which will appear in the August issue
of The Ladies Home Journal. He
will tell briefly of the origion of our f.
nancial system its expansion or de-
velopment how the nation raises its
revenues, and disburses its moneys !;
and detail the faults of our system of
hnanciering. Referring to the methods
necessary to maintain our gold reserve
General Harrison expresses himself
with evident disapproval, and says that
1.-The present situation would be absurd
If 1t were not so serious" The increase
or the diminution of the gold reserve.
the ex-President asserts, powerfully af-
fectS every interest, and the "mending
of existing conditions will be a task for
the wiSeSt and strongest Statesman
ship"
The ex-PreSident clearly intimates
that successful fnanciering is ex-
tremely difficult by the present
methods. Upon this point he saws
eff fifty dollars would suffice to hold
$50, 200, 900 in the Treasury the Secre-
tary could not expend that sum. He
must stand by until the gold is gone,
and then sell bonds to getit back. The
result is that the banks and the brokers
are often able to make play of the
Treasury. A financial Institution whose
board tranSacts its business in public
is at a disadvantage.

QUEEN CITY NOTES.

Mrs. Albert Dixon is again out
among her friends to the greatest de-
light of her husband and other men,
bers of the family.
The friends of Mt. Olive Baptist
Church, gave grand and successful
entertainment for the benefit of said
church. They have made one step.
The Arlington Branch of the Wash
ington, Alexandria and Mt. Vernon
Electric Road has agreed to stop to
put off any one for Queen City, but not
to take them on, LET us hope
The citizens of Queen City are re-
sponsible to all the citizens who need
the use of a station at that town; as
the regulations of the railroad company
requires them to make application for
the said station.
They speak of what the pastor OF
the church said; but the authorities
have said, and The BEE has published
it for the good of all the people; and
as all citizens of Queen City don't be-
long TO the church of that place and
The BEE is the accepted organ of the
whole people, let The BEE advise the
citizens to follow the plans secured,
and give us that station.
Prudence, suggestive of local inn.
provement, is the necessity for lamp
oil posts for the towns of Queen City,
Arlingtonville and Nauckville, to the
size and distance of municipal light
system.
This would give Queen City three
lamps, ArlingtonviIle eleven and
Nauckville six.
These lamps would cost about $500
per lamp, and an annual cost of $40
each.
A board pavement of 3 feet to each
sidewalk, would, in addition to the
lamps be decided improvement to
each community.
