school is liable to open in September

it has stood three and three, and Sat
urday night it held an all-night session,
voting every few minutes until dawn.
The situation is a. peculiar one, from
the fact that Mr.. Houck, the candidate
of one side, was rejected this spring by
the same board for the position of as
sistant superintendent and put in the
eighth grade, which he accepted, and
now three of the same board say that
Mr. Houck must either go to the head
Of the school or there will not be any
head. The other side is just as stiff
pecked.

use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters to
overcome renal inactivity. Avoid the un-

easily irritated, and upon this the action
of such excitants is pernicious. Malarial
