The Tribe OF Ben Hur.

MelchOir Court, No. 38, starts out with
a membership Of sixty and upwards,
charter members and enjoys good pros
poets of increase and success. The in
stitutiOn Of this court in Wellington is
due to the indefatigable efforts Of DR..
and Mrs. G. A. Slack of Cleveland. Com
ing here about election time and re-
peating their visits:frOm time to time,
they have finally succeeded far beyond
their expectations.
The court, as organized, comprises
many of the best people Of Wellington.
On Monday evening the first inst. after
the regular meeteng reception was
held in honor of DR.. Slack and wife, who
we're present. Lunch was served,
after which some speeches were listened
to. Among other things the doctor gave
us an exercise in ventrilOquism, which
was highly appreciated. The military
drill of old vetrans and sons of vetrans
under command of D. M. Hall, was well
received and will doubtless be repeated
with Celebrations in the future.
Besides the social feature of the tribe
of Ben Hur it offers the best life in
insurance for the money that can be OBJ
tained. Confidently believing this, the
members of Wellington court follow the
Doctor and his wife wherever they may
90, with their kindest regards and best
wishes for their success in the cause Of
Ben Hur. "Seeing is believing" it has
been said, therefore come and see.

ers. The great masses of Greeks and
Romans could not read. These nations
had no public schools. The American
common school is the salvation of the
American Republic. 1t is teaching
millions of young Americans the duty
OF good citizenship, what to select and
what to reject in their life work.
The average American of today is
thinking as no other man, any where
in the ancient world ever thought.
The American made more progress in
the past ten years than the Greeks or
Romans did in thousand yerrs. 1t is
thinking that makes nation great. 1t
is thinking that will perpetrate Amer
lean.

The street railways of the city, if they
paid Just and equitable tax and car Ii
cense, like they do in Cincinnati and Bal
timore, would more than furnish money
enough to employ these idle people. 1t is
not IA question of ability, but one Of will
inuness. We can, even in these times Of
depression, give work to every idle man
il we will only do it. We need a few
Sayonarolas to preach righteousness to
all classes, both in the city and country.

Those OF us who are living yet,
Whose race Is not yet run,
Well tell the story of II school
Twas held in Huntington.
Twas at the center of the town,
(My story shall be trueD
The year If remember right
Was eighteen forty-two.
Some fifty of us gathered there,
And figured on our states;
We read the Englis ish reader,
And history OF the states.
Good naturcd beareycd Cunningham,
Impaired all he knew;
He sat and poundered over sums,
While wads of paper flew.
Spelling schools were hard to get,
Our teacher got so weary;
With chores to do and wood to chop,
He'd rather stay with "Sary".
If we had luck by coaxing hard.
To give us his assistance.
We spell those awful crooked words,
With only slight resistance.
We chose up sides, each leader tried
To get the better spoilers;
Then we would do our level best,
To beat the other"feller."
We tried the plan of spelling down,
And no one wished to stop EN-;
Louisa Sprague, Florilla Rounds,
My gracious how they'd drop them.
Sometimes they came from other schools,
With lots OF boast and brag;
These girls were sure TO drop them down
"As limpsy as II rag"
AnJ uban tbo o,hoOl ,vo, ovar
They put on their shawls,
And, "kiss me quick" for bonnetts
Worn then by nearly all,
We'd say good night to teacher,
And give the girl our arm,
And see them safely to their homes,
Secure from any harm

With local applications, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh
is blood or constitutional disease and
in order to cure it you must take in
ternal remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, and acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Cure is not quack
medicine. 1t was prescribed by one
of the best physicians in this country
for years, and is regular prescript-
ion. 1t is composed of the best tonics
known, combined with the best blood
purifiers, acting directly on the mu-
cous surfaces. The perfect combina-
tion of the two ingredients is what
produces such wonderful results in
curing catarrh. Send for testimonials,

Any serious attempt to better the con-
dition Of The workingman that will en-
able him to be beyond want in his de-
clining years is cOmmendable. The CO.
operative store is one of the movements
that are directly in the interest OF the
consumer. The Leclaire Cooperative
association has done well during the
year. There are fifty-two share holders.
The shares are $50 each, which can be
paid for at fifty cents week. The paid
up capital is about $1,000. The volume
of business during the year amounts to
about $2,40O. Ten per cent. dividends
have been paid to- stockholders on their
own purchasers and five per cent. nom
stockhOlding purchasers. This is certain-
lya very creditable showing. The di-
rectOTs and Mr.. Miller, the storekeeper,
are to be congratulated on the success of
the year. The business is steadily grow
ing and the outlook most encouraging.

THE TREATY ARBITRATION.

In the light of this proposed treaty, the
world seems growing better. The presi-
dent and queen have agreed that "all
questions in difference" between the two
countries shall be submitted to arbitra-
tion. There are to be three kinds of tri-
bunal, and that which is to be charged
with the duty of trying territorial claims
is to have no umpire-the arbitratOrs be-
ing evenly divided between the two
countries. But even if there is a failure
of a verdict by the arbitrOters, the dis
pute therefore remaining unsettled, there
is to be, in the language of the treaty,
mo recourse to hostile measures of any
description, until the meditation of one
or more friendly powers has been inyited
by enc or both of the high contracting
parties" Here is declaration of peace.
It might have been better, it is true II
might have provided, for instance, that a
majority of the arbitratOrs in territory
dispute should control, as in the tribu-
mails provided for the determination of
disputes involving money. "And yet"
as the president said in his message to
the senate, lit is apparent that the treaty
that has been formulated not only makes
war between the parties in it a remote
possibility, but precludes those fears and
rumOrs of war, which of themselvesso so Of
ten assume the proportions of a national
disaster.
1t is not more than year ago that
there were fears and rumOrs of war be-
tween this country and the nation with
which we are now engaged in providing
against the probabilities of war. If this
treaty had been in operation in 1899, the
country would not have excited itself ov-
er the anticipatiOns of hostile English
irOnclads; it would have found itself re-
jOicing in the knowledge that nothing
could happen but an international law
suit. A great end has been gained when
the public mind is led to no longer ex-
peet war, or when the public feeling is
turned against war. The teachings of
civilization are against the destruction
of human life in the settlement of dis
putes. Aside from the punishment in
flicted by law, the penalty Of bloOdshed is
not now paid except among those who
are barbarians, whether they dwell with.

in or without the jurisdiction Of the law
of civilized communities. The appeal to
arms in international affairs is quite as
savage as the resort to blows in the
streets. Both may still be necessary, but
everything that leads men to look upon
blOOdshed as the remOtest possible out
come of a despute is contribution to
civilization. -Harper's Weekly.

In October, 1896, Rev. r. NJ Judy, an
independent preacher Of Davenport, Ia.
preached sermon on the saloon. Before
doing SO he visited every saloon i'll town
and talked with the propIietOrs, asking
each one what he could say in justifica-
tivn Of The business. Only one made any
defense and he said that he had some
money invested in the business and
wanted to get it out. 1t is hoped that
all ministers who discuss the subject
will be fair enough to investigate it.
