HERE AND THERE.

A youth there was and he loved girl
Just as youth will do.
And his mind ran on In mad. sad whlrl-
On a gift TO his fair love true.
And he sighed and cried as the glad yule
tide,
With its frost ana snow and its mlstle-
toe, drew nigh;
TIL a friend suggested-the youth In
vested
And the youth knew what TO buy,
A glrl there was and she greeted him
Just as a girl may do.
And his mind ran on 10 the cheruhlm,
As he gazed on his fair love true.
And he sighed and cried ON that sad yule
tide
For You sweet thing" she said, ito
bring me what Ned,
The dear fellow gave me!"-The youth
yelled. Save mel"
But the blow It killed him dead.

MUSICAL WHEELING.

The week just ended has been notable
one, musically. The Beethoven anniver-
sary celebration of the Philharmonic
Quartet in the Carroll Club Auditorium
last Tuesday, made deeper impression
than usual with performances given ny
local talent, and the outcome has been
the subject Of favorable comment ever
since, The musical portion Of the eve

A novel argument against novel read

young man who conducts hack line,
but who lives In the Eighth ward,
whence comes the basis OF the argu-
ment. our hero" is the happy father
OF bouncing babe. and being a dutiful
spouse takes his turn in minding his
heir. Being an insatlate reader of nov
els he likes 10 kill two birds with one
stone by holding the baby with one arm,
while with the other holds the novel to
his eye. Hc was thus engaged an at
ternoon recently when there came n
knock at the door our hero" heard
not the knock. His wife called TO him
from the kitchen, but he was too busy
tracking the villain" to his lair. Again
there came the summons at the door,
and he heard like as one in a dream;
but he started UP and with one hand
he threw the book on the table. and
with the other took closer hold on the
baby-but like as one in a dream, re-
member. For in attempting to answer
the call Our hero" took n tighter grip
on the book, and threw the baby on
the table. The child's screams brought
him to his senses, and It's mother to tho
rescue and there was hot time there
for awhile. Novels came in for their
bumps, but then an absent minded man

The discovery made the other day by
the authorities that the town of Full
ton was minus ballot box, so neees-
sary for the election out there January
6, brought forth the explanation OF its
absence quite readily, The box that
had done service for years bit the dust
last February in the recount to decide
whether the new council was really
elected. The old council held on like
grim death to the keys Of the town, and
claimed that their successors should not
succeed them until all the regulations
provided for ''py der code" were COM
piled with. The ballots had to be Off
cially counted by the old council and
the new men were willing, but their pa
thence ceased to be virtue when they
found that the old council upon one
pretext and another, failed TO get quo
rum TO do the business, and there were
wild threats Of dispensing with all forms
and ceremonies. The election took place
IN January, but February had nearly
passed by without there being a rec
ognized municipal body. The middle

stated that unless the new body was
officially seated ere few days passed

the old council by deafult. Then post
ers dotted the fences and walls ordering
meetings of the respective councils, and
injunctions were threatened fast and
furious. 1t was rumored that the town
would have two councils, and nothing
else was talked of in the little burg,
Peaceful arguments prevailed, how
ever, and conference of the warriors
was agreed on, at which time II was
agreed that an official count In the pres
ence OF both parties would settle the
matter, and the old council gave Its
solemn promise that II would meet that
night with quorum present The

A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with very severe cold that caused him
to be in a most miserable condition. 1t
was undoubtedly bad case OF Ia grippe
and recognizing It as dangerous he took
immediate steps to bring about a speedy
cure. From the advertisement Of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and the many
good recommendations included therein.
we concluded to make a first trial OF the
medicine. To say it was satisfactory
In its results is putting It very mildly,
indeed. 1t acted like magic and the re-
suit was speedy and permanent cure.
We have no hesitaacy in recommending
this excellent Cough Remedy to anyone
afflicted with a cough or cold in any
form.-The Banner OF Liberty. Liberty

According TO Comptroller Eckels, who
has been making a tour through Mon
tana, Utah, Colorado and Nebraska, the
tide of prosperity arising from the defeat
Of the free coinage proposition has
reached these states. Silver has contin-
ued TO decline and many silver mines
are closed, but gold and lead mining
are profitable, the farmers are prosperous
and the people of these states are find-
ing out that they have other resources
besides silver. 1t is especially worthy Of
note that single district in Colorado,
the state in which the free coinage de-
usion may be said to have had its birth
and greatest development, is providing
more gold than the frozen placers of
the Kolndike, the monthly output reach
ing a million Of dollars. As there is no
question about the superior purchasing
power Of gold the diversion Of capital
and labor from the production Of cheap
silver TO that Of gold and profitable az
riculture has benefited the silver states
quite as much In proportion as other
sections, and this wave of prosperity
has come to this section against the
will Of its people. All of which goes
to show that the wisdom Of all the
people exceeds the wisdom of those OF a
single section, and that those of the
defeated section are capable Of enjoying
the prosperity they did their best to
prevent =.

A BLESSING TO THE BABIES OF THE
POOR - AN ENTERPRISE THAT
SHOULD BE FoSTERED.


The prospect is very encouraging that
the distribution Of pasteurized milk, de-
void Of all mlcrobic germs, among the
children Of the poor at a nominal price,
will become general in the large cities
Of the United States. While this benev-
olence viii be a blessing 10 the babies,
our adult population enjoy an equally
great one IN the benefit conferred by
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters upon per-
sons afflicted with kidney and bladder
complaint. Danger from Brights disease
and diabetes is surely averted by this
admirable preventive, which is also a
safeguard against malarial fever and
rheumatism, and a thorough remedy for
dyspepsia, constipation. liver complaint
and nervousness. Diseases, insignificant
at the outset. enlarge their proportions
and capacity for destruction through neg
lect. Another point Of Importance in
usnig this sterling remedy is, that It
should be taken with regularity and per-
sistence.

the county court 10 say where tho
bridge should be,
Every one seemed anxious to sigu the
petition. l believe II all the voters
could be reached that nine-tenths ot
the county would sign Tor the bridge
The remarks by the -signers express a
strong desire for the bridge and roads
In general one said. "A farm With.
out road Is like store without a
street" Another said; "tt the bridge
had been built twenty years ago this
county wouM be the richest In the state
now" One man came down out ot the
cop Of an apple tree, went into his
house and came out with his glasses on
50 as to see to sign 1t, In fact the only
trouble to get signers is 20 sign some
voters. However. It is quite task to
circulate the petition all over the coun.
~. and find the voters to sign Il.
guess tho job will be done though, and
I am sure that nothing would please
the county IN general better than to
see the city connected with the West
