JOURNAL NOT EXCLUDED.

On Saturday publication was madeto
the effect that the Brownson Library As
sociation had excluded the New York
Evening Journal and the World from
its reading room because of the sensa-
ucnal character of those newspapers.
AT last nights meeting the matter was
brought TO the attention Of the associa-
ton, and the president this morning
stated that the report was not correct,
but that the subscription had expired
for the Journal, and as the society had
for a long time been taking two other
New York papers, it did not think a
third was necessary. He said that the
World had never been taken.

Michael has made cycle racing a care

After the exertiOn of my record rides
while with the Morgan & Wright team
in the South last Winter, during which
l lost somewhat in weight, on account
of the unaccustomed climate, was ad-
vised to use Paine's celery compound.
l am pleased to say that it gave such
satisfaction that I was impelled to use
it again to brace up from the effects of
the two unusually rough ocean trips
that I have taken during the past
month. / believe that wheelmen who
have to undergo the hardships of "cir-
cult chasing" will find Paine's celery
compound of assistance in keeping up
their physical tone. Jimmy Michael.
Every one needs to take a Spring
remedy to purify their blood, arouse
the circulation and counteract the de-
bilitating effect of months of confning
work, worry and excitement
The more intelligent portion Of every
community are the ones who best rec
ommend Paine's celery compound.
They have looked into this great rem
edy, followed its remarkable achieve
ments in the case of friends, neighbOrs
and relatives, and know just what to
expect from its use as a nerve and brain
strengthener and restorer and an ideal
invigorator for a rundown system.

disgrace to reputable journalism, come

MERELY A MISUNDERSTANDING.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Del
aware Ledger, evidently does not un-
derstand the provisions Of the bill pro-
viding for the establishment Of a
state normal school. 1t it were passed,
the State of Delaware would simply
furnish the building and equipment
and the city CT Wilmington would
maintain 1t. 1t would be open to ad-
vanced pupils from all parts OF the
state, and there would be no DISPOSE
tion on the part of the Board Of Edu-
cation to "hog" its educational facili-
ties.
One very good reason why it should
be located in Wilmington is that a
very large proportion Of the advanced
pupils of the state reside in Whining
ton, and 1t would not be just to compel
them to go to Newark or Dover for the
accommodation of the lesser number
from other sections. Delaware College

Cor the charter are thoroughly competent
and reliable before granting a charter for
such an institution. The eye is the
most delicate part Of mans organism,
and no one should be authorized to treat
IL who is not thoroughly competent to
do so. If responsible men are back Of
the project to found the college at Do

community we see no objection to
granting the charter Otherwise it
would be most reprehensible 10 give
legal sanction to the project
other states have had bogus colleges
and there is no telling what harm they
have done. Philadelphia, especially
had an experience with DR.. Buchanan,
who turned out doctors by the whole
sale until the newspapers exposed the

no charges to make against the man
who is back Of the ophthalmic charter
now at Dover but there are those who
have said, and who do not hesitate to
proclaim, that he is not a graduate of
any reputable college. The doubt hav-

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. limited
States Observer Frankenfield said to-
day that the present unprecedented
drought extends all over the country.
He added Speaking from this sta
tion. the states of Illinois, Missouri,
Indiana. Kansas, Nebraska and Ar
kanss are all in the need of wet
weather. Iowa has had more rain
than some of the surrounding states,
but is now in almost as bad condi-
tion as the rest.
Missouri and Illinois are suffering
the most, particularly the southern
portion of Illinois and Central Mis-.
souri, There is yet no indication of
rain"
Reports from these states say the
ground is too dry for fall blowing and
all the country roads are from four to
six inches deep in dust A white film
covers all the land. The ripening
corn hangs dull and apparently life
less in the heat of summer sun, and
every thing is parched. In many sec
tions of Missouri cisterns have gone
dry and the danger of fire in the small
cities and towns is imminent.
The Mississippi and Missouri rivers
have not been so low in ten years.

Senate File 169."

The officials of a number of coun ties
in the state, says Lincoln correspond
ent of the Omaha Bee, have written to
the attorney general to find out wheth-
er the new law which appears in the
new copy of the session laws and which
is labeled :'senate file 1863" is valid and
can be put into practice at the com
ing election: The attorney general
has answered all these inquiries by
setting forth the record on this partic
ular bill, but has rendered no decision
as to it's validity. The bill, as intro
duced in the senate, was calculated to
allow counties having a population of
5000, or voting population of 1,600,
to elect clerks of the district court at
other times than the regular time for
electing such officials. The bill was
introduced for the special benefit of
Valley county, but if valid could be
taken advantage of by about ten coun-
ties in the state this year. The record
shows that the bill passed the senate,
but that on the last day of the session
it came to vote in the house and fail
ed to pass, the vote being forty-eight
in favor and nineteen against. In
spite of this failure to pass the bill
however, was certified to the governor,
received his signature and is printed
in the session laws.
