Priceless Pain

"rf price can be placed on pain, Mothers
Friend is worth its weight in gold an ailcvi-
ator MY wife suff cred more In ten minutes with
either Of her other two children than she did al
four bottles Of Mothers Friend II is blessing
to any one expecting to become mother" says
a customer.
Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
of Carmi, ILL.,, to the Bradheld Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ga, the proprie-
tors and manufacturers of Mothers
Friend" This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines adj
vertised to do unreasonable things, but a
scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman's organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement. The earlier il
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
1t not only shortens labor and lessons
the pain attending it, but greatly dimin-
ishes the danger to life Of both mother
and child, and leaves the mother in con-
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.
Mothers Friend is sold by druggists
at fr.oo, or sent by express on receipt Of
price.

Horace Mann said special pre-

1t is the duty OF every teacher, in

Teachers, how do you spend your

stances of the school and thus seem
arbitrary. The most effective rules
for the government OF schools are
those that ara forced upon the teach
er by circumstances and in full view
OF all the pupils of the school. Such
rules can always be justified by
what HAS happened, and not by
what may happen. The only rule
necessary for the first day is the
short, comprehensive rule, "Do

ly for the promotion of the best in
terests Of the schools.
Excelsior" is our motto. Let
us lift it to the starry skies.
All the pupils in the High School
pledged themselves heartily TO sup
port and augment every interest of
the Jasper schools, shortly after the
opening of the school year, and all
have kept their pledges like heroes.
Upon taking charge of the Jasper
schools we found them and educa-
tional interests in no bad condition.
In fact there is a prompt, intelligent
demand and encouragement for one
OF the best schools in the state, and
this feeling on the part of the good
people here shall be met SO far as
lies In Us to do so.
The three years course of study
heretofore followed has been
changed to a four years course, and
several new branches added. 1t
will give much better satisfaction,
turn out far stronger graduates, and
save one years expenses OF all who
wish to attend college away from
home.

Saltwater Friday Night.

An electric storm of great Sc
verify prevailed in Saltwater
Thursday evening from about $3.50
to II 80 and considerable damage
was done. For the first hour
there was a perfect deluge of rain,
accompanied by almost contin-
uous lightning and almost deafen-
ing peals Of thunder. The O'Brien
mill at Marine, Mimi, was struck
by lightning and destroyed by fire,
and William Dreschsler's barn at
Houlton, Wis, was destroyed in
similar manner, two cows perish
ing in the flames. A barn on
Dickinson Bros. farm at Lake
land, Mimi, was burned, and a
horse, which was stabbed therein,
was suffocated by smoke. Martin
Whalen's barn, on what is known
as the old Matthew farm, north OF
this city, was burned to the
ground. Lightning entered the
residence of DIR. Pratt, on the
north Hill. by the telephone wire,
ard, burning out the instrument,
passed out by the water pipe. The
family, which consists Of DIR.
Pratt and his wife, were badly
frightened, and the servant, who
was in the kitchen at the time,
