In the Spring a Young Mans Fancy.

A young lady sings in our choir,
Whose hair in the color of phoir.
But her charm is unique,
She has such fair clique,
1t is really IA JOY to be nhoir.
Whenever she looks down the aisle
She gives me beautiful smaisle.
And of all her beaux
am certain she sheaux
She likes me the best all the whaisle.
Last Sunday she wore q new sacque,
Low cut at the front and the bacque.
And a lovely bouquet
Worn in such a cute wuet
AS only few girls have the knacque.
Some day. ere she grows too antique,
In marriage her hand | shall sique;
II she's not coquette.
Which Id greatly regruette.
She shall share my IS a wique.

1T is too bad said Jonas Edwards
of Auburn, Tuesday, Ito see the prices
that nice 1900 to 1900 family farm horses
are selling for. Why, II horses keep on
going down in price they will be worth
less than cattle. We will see more
horses in this market this spring than
ever before l understand that Poor,
the Kansas horseman. is on the road
with two carloads: that II. L. Bunker
of Ohio, proposes to put 100 horses on
the market this spring, and there are
already several new men shipping here.
The low prices sets them all shipping
and we predict that in less than four
weeks we will see the best of 100 to
1900 horses sold for prices never before
heard of; hut nice. big horses are said
TO be hard 10 get.-Lewiston Journal.

The Iowa is the last of the long line

many hundred thousand dollars have
been transferred from the Golfers of
cessful builders. The big bonus policy
has had it's day and this probably is as
it should be for it is evident that the
specifications can be made more exact

builders from the regular contract
price. Nevertheless under the provi-
sions for bonus American shipbuilders

achievements in navel architecture and

Only the other day a Washington
correspondent took occasion to remark
that jeremiah Simpson, member of the
House from Kansas, and more Ia

improved greatly since coming to

are not sure but that Jerry has so far
broadened his mind as to be able to

Turkey Should Be Made to Settle.

1t would be surprising if Turkey had
not come to regard any financial IN
debtedness on her part to another
power as in a measure a guarantee Oh
her continued existence. Probably the
European powers would have arrived
at some partition of the Ottoman en-
pire before this had it not been for the
holders of Turkish bonds. 1t is time,
however, that the Sublime Porte should
be made aware of the fact that indebt-
edness to the United States affords 1t
no advantage, also that treatment OF
our representatives, missionaries ana
missions with due respect is imperative.
So seldom does the Turk see the stars
and stripes floating from the masthead
of one of our government vessels and
sentative at his court relegated to
back seat by reason of his ministerial
rank and unable to enter upon discus
sion of diplomatic matters on equal
terms with ambassadors, that he UNI
dcubtedly has come to regard on:
diplomatic efforts with more or less
contempt 1t is not strange that the
damage claims, presented by Minister
Terrell amounting to about Sloo,Voo
have not been paid. The Sultan is not
accustomed to promptly pay any OF the
rowers the bills he owes them. 1t
would be surprising, however. should
he treat the representatives of any
European power with the cool contempt
he has shown in the case of the Amerl-
can consuls to Erzeroum and Harpoot,
Messrs. Bergholz and Hunter. whom he
has refused to recognize without Civ
ing any reason for so doing. He has
rot dared expel an English missionary
without trial or explanation as he did
Rev. G.. p Knapp. who was stationed
at Bitlis. This impudence should not
be tolerated and the administration is
evidencing a disposition to force a set
that can be dcne is somewhat doubtful.
The damage claims are those oeca-
sioned by the burning of a part of the
Euphrates college at Harpoot, property
of the American Board of Foreign
Missions, and the injury to the Marash
Theological Seminary and the house of
the American missionary at Hasquey,
suburb of Constantinople. If we would
prevent a recurrence of these outrages
our claim for indemnity cannot be
made too insistent. In view of all this
the report that the administration de-
sires to send that renowned diplomat
and able lawyer, Hon. John w. Foster,
as special amba ssador to Turkey, is
gratifying. Minister Terrell has ac-
complished much considering his
limitations but this country should
have a representative in Turkey just
now, whose rank is inferior to that of
none, and as we probably should not
care to continue representative of
that rank in a country not willing to
send one of equal rank to our govern
ment, the idea of sending a special
ambassador seems to be the most
sensible one

The Result in Rhode Island.

The overwhelming victory of the Re-
publicans at the State election in
Rhode Island, Wednesday, Served to
emphasize the shattered condition and
apathy of the state Democracy And
yet we hear of no Republican aspirant
for the presidency emulating Mr.. Bryan
in the matter of kicking up his heels,
waving his hat and telegraphing the
world generally that the victory III
Rhode Island demonstrates the GER
tainty of continuous Republican as
tendency in the nation. Evidently
there are no such absurd aspirants in
the Republican ranks for assuredly
there is as much cause for Republican
hilarity over the Rhode Island election
as there was for Democratic hilarity
over the Chicago and Cincinnati cleo
lions. We notice that some Of the free
trade owls have commenced to boot
over those Western municipal elections;
and blinkingly announce that objection
In view of such ridiculous assumption
one hesitates to seek whatever of sig
nifcance there may be in this election
in Rhode Island. Really it is entirely
rational to suppose that in a manufac-
turing state like Rhode Island,
the injustices of the Wilson tariff were
brought to every home and impressed
vividness any great disaster lmpresseS
itself, they We're in part at least re-
sponsible for the apathy shown by the

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
an explanation of the more important
changes that were made by the last
Legislature in the Maine pharmacy
law. The State board of pharmacy,
which was established 20 years ago has
done much in exacting compliance from
those who carry on the business of
apothecares with the ever increasing
public demand for competent and re-
sponsible druggists. Nevertheless, no
one after considering the difficulties
which had to be encountered will doubt
that the commission worked to a dis
advantage by reason of the inadequate
law. OF late the imperfections in the
law have been made more apparent in
comparison with improvements in the
laws of other states. In the eight years
that Mr.. Partridge of this city has
been a member of the board he has
endeavored with his associates to make
the most of the provisions of what law
there was but the results were some
what discouraging. Any attempt on
the part of the commission to enforce
the requirements was beset by diff
culties, one of the greatest being that
provision CT the law which permitted
those who were in the drug business in
this State in 1877 to carry it on without

had been conducting business illegally

quence the grand jury was held several

This impedment has been re-
moved by the Legislature and the COM
mission expects no fuIther ,rouble from
that source.
Another feature of the old law, which
the commission felt was an injustice
anu leuueu " ltSSCh ltSpcNt loi tiC
law, was that providing that a person,
who had obtained by means of a
diploma from some medical school
where he had devoted two or three
years to study of all the branches Of
a medical education, much of which
would be of no particular value in the
drug business, might become a
full fledged apothecary without ex-
animation, whereas an educated drug
smattering of materia medica and ele
mentary chemistry would be compelled
to undergo examination as to his
knowledge and fitness. This objection,
also has been removed. A provision of
the amended law, which will attract
more general attention is that relating

to has dealt in pcisons and medicines of

A GENERAL QUALIFICATION.
Is What Yuma Indulged in When the
 S~ Good News Was Received

Did Yuma celebrate? It is mot necessary tu answer that question for the benefit of those who were in Yuma, or within radius of some miles, last Saturday night. But fnr the b2neat of others, it IS in order to say, she t!Id Fourth of July was pretty good, but the 17th of July went it one better. When the news came last Saturday that at last Gov. McCOrd's confirms ton was an assured fact, the long pent-up feelings of the people gave way in one mighty shout, and then they took rp the details of a fitting jolliicstion. When night came huge boufire wsre set blazing on the prin- cipsl streets, cannon crackers amd anvils were booming, iuytTnmptu speeches were made, and in fact the whole town w.s nriliAntlv iiluminat- ed and tie j2lliicaiion was shire'' ivy everybody, Irrespective of lar'y or party feeling Tne Philharmonic Band dieconrs d patriotic airs and seren ,ded many of our loyal McCOrd men. But through it all, 1t was d rally of the people. Republlc1ns Democrats, Populists, et'., etc. .,-were all together to show the general favcr with which Yuma received the news, and to demonstrate that in McCOrd for Governor, the chQice of the people has been honored.
