That Terrible ScOurSc.

Malarial disease lis invariably supple
mented by disturbance of the liver, the
bowels the stomach and the nerves. To
the removal of both the cause and it's
effects Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is full
ly adequate. 1t fills the bill' as no
other remedy does, performing it's work
thoroughly. Its ingredients are pure and
wholesome, and it admirably serves to
build up a system broken by ill-health
and shorn of strength. Constipation, liver
and kidney complaint and nervousness are
conquered by it.

the highest Tribunal in the land than
any other man who had preceded him.
The record that Justice Field had to
best to attain that distinction belonged
ITO Chief Justice Marshall, who went
Ito the bench Jan. 81, 1901, and served
until his death, July s, 1885. TIhirty-
four years, five months and six days
was the record of Chief Justice Mar
shall. Thirty-four' years, five months
and thirteen days is the record af JUS
:tice Field to date.
For nearly DOZEN y1Bars ambitious
lawyers who desired to get to the :su-
preme bench reminded Justice Field
that he had reached the age when he
could ask to be retired. ''If Justice
Field should only resign," they said.
But Justice Field has never thought of
resigning, and does not think of it now.
He is in his eighty-seoond year. but he
lis still in the prime of intellectual
strength. He sits on the bench, ex-
:amines involved law points, and writes
;able. opinions just as he did thirty-four
years ago. His beard lis the patriarch s
beard, but his figure lis as erect as it
was in the days of his '"Argonauts of
forty-nine." His mind is as clear and
vigorous as it was in the days when
he created law and a constitution out
'of chaos in California nearly fifty years
ago. AS a pastime he writes a book
of personal memoirs, or masters in a
few evenings an Oriental language.
The lawyers who have been wanting
his place on the bench will doubtless
have to possess their souls in patience
for years to come. Gladstone's record
for activity has been ,equa11ed by JUS
tice Field. The friends Of the Justice
predict that he will exceed it by de-
'cade.

A Slight Mistake

This is an instance where a bad cold
caused a startling conversation, says an
exchange. A modest young newspaper
was invited TO a party at a resi-
dence where the home had recently
been blessed with an addition to the
family. Accompanied by his best girl
he met the hostess at the door, and after
customary alutationa asked after the
baby. The lady was suffering from .
bad cold, which made her slightly deaf,

ally had n every winter this was the

her to her bed, Then, noticing that the

Saturday and Sunday. Delegates from

From the reports submitted it is appar'

energetic in raising funds with which
to spread the christian religion. During
the course Of the conference many in

Final Meeting a Successful and Memoir
able Orc.
The protracted meeting which has
been in progress at the Baptist church
for the past week, was brought to g
glorious close last Sunday night. The
handsome church was literally crowded,
many of the vast congregation being
obliged to stand during service. This
slight discomfort was unnoticed, how
ever, the interesting and instructive
nature of Mr.. Buffers discourse being
sufficient to drive from the mind the
brief annoyance of standing.
The reverend gentleman, who has
made many friends by his earnest work,
was at his best Sunday night and made
a deep and lasting impression upon the
hearts Of the majority of those present.
A sufficient assurance Of this fact is,
that a very liberal amount of money
was raised during the meeting. 1t was
supposed by many that the meeting
would continue throughout the week,
and the statement that Sunday was the
last night was a source of disappoint.
ment to the large number who had be,
come interested in the, meeting.
One Of the most attractive features Of
the series of meetings has been the
music. Under the competent direction
of Miss Alice Hicks the members of the
various local church choirs were
Emerged into one grand chorus and the
effect of the beautiful hymns, rendered
by SO many cultured voices, was as an
inspiration.
OTHER RELIGIOUS NOTES.
No services were held at the Presby.
terrain or Methodist churches last Sun
day night, owing to the meeting at the
Baptist church. Rev. +. H. Maddox
and DR.. ], w. Price again demonstrated
the fraternal and brotherly feeling
which animates the true christian.
In lien of sewing at their weekly
meeting, the Earnest Workers of the
Presbyterian church have decided to give
evening teas. The first of a series of
these pleasant events was given at the
residence Of Mrs. s. R. Keesler, last
Monday evening. The guests were
numerous, but consisted chiefly of
ladies. The members Of the organiza.
ton are anxious to have the gentlemen
become interested and participate in
these luncheons. Especial efforts will
be put forth to entertain them,

BOLD BAL BURGLARS
Attempt to Crack tie Safe Of Thsyer &
Compauy.

Attempt to Crack the Safe Of Thayer &
Compsuy.
A bnngling and decidedly amateurish
attempt to break open the safe in Thayel
& Co.'S hardware store was made last
Friday night or at an early hour Satur.
day morning. Beyond breaking of the
knobs from the inner doors no damage
was done. There was in the neighbor.
hood Of 40 in the safe.
Entrance into the store was effected
through a cal window. The thief or
thieves were apparently familiar with
the interior of the store. and it would
seem that they were familiar with the
method Of closing the safe. The combi-
nation is rarely thrown out, as Mr..
Thayer leaves it in a position to open
easily in case Of fire. The outer doors
were opened by a of the knob, and
from two large punches Of keys which
were found near the safe, it is evident
that an attempt to unlock the inner
doors was made. Finding that 1.-THE
doors could not be opened with keys, the
burglar or burglars obtained a heavy
sledge hammer from the stock and pro-
ceeded to batter off the knobs. Even
this proved Intellectual, and the job was
given up. A roller topped desk which
stood near the safe was unlocked and
opened, but nothing was disturbed.
In passing through the window one of
the burglars stepped into a kettle of
grease and a well defined foot print was
left on the floor.
Marshal Mcbride ind Deputy Sheriff
Scruggs, along with his bloodhounds,
were called into service, but up to this
writing Monday they have failed to
find any trace Of the robbers.
At the compress on the same night a
desk was unlocked and two dozen packs
Of playing cards were stolen.
Owing to the fact that the incandescent
lights in the stores do not burn after | a.
m, any burglars have a comparatively
clear field after entering a place Of bust.

At this meeting a detailed copy of the

The substance has been published be-
fore, and the offer made by Mr.. Wright
is of so liberal a nature as to preclude
all question as to its ultimate adoption.
1t is certain that no other person or
corporation is in a position to make
nearly as advantageous an offer, for
with the machinery which he now has

There is but little doubt of the way
in which the election will go, for every
