almost deafening-an impromptu tribute
to the good people of the State who have
been doing all that human beings could
do to make their visit pleasant one.
The applause was soon checked by the
arising of the choir and the rendition Of
an anthem.
Prayer was delivered by a Mormon
elder, who so touched the hearts of his
hearers that chorus of fervent "amens"
assembled at the close. Then the choir

SALT LAKE, UTAH. July 4.-Salt Lake
City was IN the hands of the Christia
Endeayorers To-day. The entire city was
theirs, and they were not in the least
backward in taking advantage Of the fact.
Just as soon as they arrived they began
to see the sights, and to their credit be it
said they left little undone.
The trains were late. and this caused the
abandonment of the intended parade, but
there was an impromptu procession as the
i'm mense crowds wended their way to the
Tabernacle via the main streets of the city.

Rev. Alfred Hummer, DID, pastor of
the First Methodist Episcopal Church of
Oakland, had short notice that he was ex-
pected to deliver patriotic address, yet
he more than justified the call, for he held
the attention OF the audience closely for
more than an hour as he talked to them
of the kinship between Christianity and
patriotism and led them along the lines OF
Christian citizenship. The address was
devoid of all partisan ideas and lifted the
hearers out into the broader plane OF ones
duty to the Nation as a Christian citizen.
The doctors address was most forcible
and was received with marked apprecia-
ton and much applause. which did not
seem out OF place even at religious gath

Among the announcements made was
the notice OF two anti-saloon conventions
to be held in the Y. NJ. G. a. Auditorium,

Chairman James G. Jones of the chorus
committee is one OF the busiest men in the
City. 1t is not yet known just how many
voices there will be in the chorus. but it is
thought there will be about 1900. The
com mittee has already heard from nearly
1900 and this does not include the orches-

Fellow teachers, students and friends.
wake up and look Mt our penmanship in
he public schools over the land. | think
that you will be ready to acknowledge
that no other art or science has suffered so
much for the want of a suitable plan of
Instruction and of competency in the
teachers as this art.
In my experience in teaching penman-
ship, have been led TO believe that writ
ing in the public schools is nearly fail
ure. Why is this? Because. in the first
place, nine of our public school teachers
out of ten are not capable of teaching this
branch. How can we expect students to
improve in a branch or gain any knowl.
edge of tiff his instructors have no idea
IN regard to how it should be taught.
Why is it that we find copy books III our
public schools with engraved copies in
them? Simply because our teachers are
not qualified and properly trained so as to
give to their students fresh copies.
We might just as well have our prob
lens in mathematics worked out and EN-.
grayed in our books and copy the prob
lens, as to have carefully measured and
penciled letters which we find in all en-
graved copies. 1t is only the skill of the
very best script engravers and does not
show and represent genuine pen work.
object to using engraved copies in our
public school work, because it leads to a
slow and laborious STYLE of finger move
ment, which is to-dayibutchering:up most
of our penmanship in the public schools.
Listen, Teachers OF the public schools.
listen. Make an improvement in your
writing, learn Low to write yourself, learn
how to interest your class. Discard the
copy books, give your pupils strong
pointed business pens, use foOlscap paper.
give your pupils drills on rapid muscular
movement exercises, exercises that will
preclude the possibility of using the finger
movement.
Your student by following the above
will learn more genuine rapid business
writing in five months than they do from
their copy books during an entire public
school course.
Teachers, you know that were any other
subject as fearfully butchered as is pen
manship in the public schools to day. there
would be fearful upheaval in educational
circles and the public would not be con-

So with the sick man. His dsordered
constitution renders every natural operation
uncertain. No organ can be depended OH
to do its normal work. The stomach will
not digest food; the liver will not filter bill
ious poisons from the blood; the kidneys
and skin will not excrete the waste. No
regular nourishing or purifying process is
going on There is no certainty except the
certainty of suffering. "a
In all dyspeptic bilious, debilitated con-
ditions, what is needed is to change the alb
normal, cratic operations of the system
into natural, regular, straightforward pro-
gress in the right direction. Nothing in the
world will do this so rapidly and certainly

Any law which has for its int

Any law which has for its intent,
the suppression of pistol toting, or
the indiscriminate use of firearms
within the corporate limits, is good
and wholesome. The Times has
from time to time for ten years ad
vocated stringent law along this
line, and we are glad TO note thai
the city council is now about to
pass such an ordinance as will
cover the whole matter. The sug.
gestion that the marshal be al.
lowed an additional fee of $40 for
each conviction will have the ef-
feet of stimulating his watchful-
ness, and we think it would be an
excellent idea TO also incorporate
u liberal reward for information
leading to a conviction. Although
TINS feature is not generally popu
lar because 1t encourages what is
commonly called the 'tattle tale"
yet anything that will discourage
the evil of pistol toting, may be
SAID to be entirely legitimate and
wholesome. Pistol toting from
any standpoint is obnoxious and
dangerous. The ready pistol is
accountable for scores of murders.

there at $500 and hulls at So so

that "a mill would pay here if il

Deafness Cannot be C,,rea


by local applications as they c(.nno. reach
tile diseased portion of the err. There is
only one way to cure deafriess, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflaw.ed condition of the
mucous Inning of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inflamed YOU have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
pormal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but

Business men of Forrest City,
Jon are surely not attending
strictly to your best interests, by
delaying the organization Of a
business league. Nearly every
town around us has such an organ
iza;ion, and good results have been
accomplished. 1t behooves this
city 10 take the lead ip such
things. A business league, prop
crly conducted, and in which active
interest is taken, may secure manu-
featuring enterprises, induce CAPT
tai to seek investment here, secure
better freight rates, prevent uDjust
discrimination against the town,
build moro and better roads, ad-
vertise our resources, improve the
homo market, aud influence the
diversity of crops. Forrest City
IS advancing. but it is rather in
spite Of, than because of any or
gained effort to bring her great
natural advantages before the
world. Let. help the good work
on by personal effort, through the
best channel-a Business League.
