County Printing Let,

Daily Journal, Tuesday.
The board Of county commissioners
deliberated over the proposals for the
county printing the greater part OF
yesterday afternoon and this fore
noon. The printing Of the tax lists
and other legals was given to the
Sumner County Star at l2i per cent Of
legal rates. The Star made a straight
proposal at that rate. The Voices
bid was 20 per cent Of the legal rate
for the tax list and 10 per cent Of the
legal rate for all other legal printing.
Its bid contained a provision that
if they were also given the job print
ing they would charge for only the
tax list and the publication Of the
official ballot. The Monitor-Press'
bid was identical with the Voices
bid. The Voices bid for the lob
work, figured on a basis of the
amount done last year, was 1884, SO.
The MOnitOr-Press bid $1S0.06. The
Star bid SlSO.59. 1t was let to the
Monitor-PreSs.
1t is evident that the day has passed
when the county printing in Sumner
county is to be regarded as spOils of
office. There are two POpulists now
on the board and they refused to
throw 1888 of the couuty's money TO
the POpuliSt organ, the Voice, when
the MOnitOr-PreSs underbid them
that amount; the Star underbid the
Voice 1870 on job work. However,
the Star didn't lose much on the Job
Work being given to the Monitor
Press, as Richards has enough sta
tiOnery on hand printed for the new
county officers to last them a cOnsid-
cradle length of time, and when the
MOnitOr-Press cracks open its plum
seed it will find a shriveled and
rotten kernel as its share of the coun-
TVS work. At best, either of the two
papers will hardly receive enough
money from the county to legiti-
mately pay for tie work that is to be
done.
Two years ago the Star received the
county printing at more than Is per
cent of legal rates, with the Monitor.
Press and Voice both undertaking
it. Commissioner Espy was the only
member Of the board who voted to let
the printing 60 to the lowest bidder,
the MonitOr-Press. There are now
two other commissioners on the board
who are equally as careful as MIR.
Espy in guarding the county's inter-
estS, and it is the duty Of the voters
of the county to give them credit for
their loyalty to their interests. IL
doesn't matter so much as to the poll
tics Of the board as who the commits.
sioDers are.

pirate presentation speech, which
was gratefully responded to by Mr..

honored custom was not observed by
the court house officers was that the

their behalf some few days ago.

Merit
Hood'sSarsaparilla. q Cd no

Merit in medicine means the power to
cure. Hoods sarsaparilla possesses actual
and unequalled curative power and there
fore it has true merit. When you buy
Hoods Sarsaparilla, and take it according
to directions, to purify your blood, or
cure any OF the many blood diseases, you
are morally certain to receive benefit.
The power to cure is there. You are not
trying an experiment. It will make your
blood pure, rich and nourishing, and thus
drive out the germs Of disease, strengthen
the nerves and build up the whole system.

Queer Devise of a Tokyo Professor

Queer Devise of Tokyo Professor
70 Prevent Rocking.
Prof John Milne, head of the I'm
perial College of Engineers Tokyo,
and the greatest authority on earth
uuakes, has devised a building that
cannot be damaged by earthquakes,
solved the problem that for over 80
centuries baffled the ablest scientists.
Professor Milne abandoned all pre-
yious ideas and devised a building on
entirely new lines. 1t is novel, simple
and absolutely safe. The whole secret
is in the foundations, which rest upon
huge iron shot. When an earthquake
occurs the whole building rolls with
the movement, of the earth. 1t is real
ly ball-bearing building. It has been
tried several times, and on each occa-
sion proved all that the inventor
claimed for it.
Professor Milne has also invented an
Earthquake coat" 1t reaches from
head to feet, and is really two coats,
one over the other. The space between
is heavily padded. A hood with four
inches of padding in the crown goes
with it. Instead of buttons there are
clasps, so that the coat can be donned
in a second On each side are 10 pock-
cts for provisions. Each pocket is de-
signed for certain articles, and alto
gether they will hold enough provi-
sions for several days. The coat is
designed for use as a last resort only.
