THE FAIR
FARMERS ARE NOT The ONLY PEOPLE
WHO MAY REAP A RICH HARVEST

That is, if we may be allowed
to use fgurative language and speak
of our customers reaping a harvest Of
good values. One fact stands out
strongly this fall, and that is, that
never has there been a time more fa-
vorable to consumers. Prices were
at the lowest notch first before the new
wave Of prosperity flowed in, and mer-
loaded up with a big stock which can
be sold at old prices. Thus the pub
lie with its increased purchasing pow
er can enjoy what the boys call ''a
snap" If you want to get the full
benefit of this happy combination
come here to do your buying.

The ladies Of Beileville, Ills, are do

TIE NEW S!slee AND Its NEW USES.
The last rca years have witnessed q
revolution CT evolution III regard to Bii-
bic stucy. II 1:say respects it may he
truly said that re have q new Bible.
The King james version was translated
under difficulties The exacting condi
eions Of the king ard church and tac in
perfect condition Of tie text made az.
accurate translation impossible. TIE
scholarship of the tine was poor, and
the Civilizations to which the Bible be-
longed We're not well known. TIE re
yised versio:i OF 1881 was haiapered by
a superstisioas and ignorant co2serva-
tism and slavish desire to make il as
much like King james version as posi-
bic. All this was unsatisfactory to the
| ablest ard most earnest Biblical critics.
This dissatisfaction expresseesitself il
many monographs by such able men as
Wellhansen, Driver, Cheyne, Kittel, Toy
and Briggs. These works, While very
able, were confined to single books CT
phases Of the Bible.
Itwas desirable to have g Bible trans
lation free from cruGsties and the most
thorougngoirg that could be had. Let
the facts speak for themselves.
The people were in darkness about the
great Advancement. One noble scholar
determined to make an effort TO publish
a Bible that embodied the highest re-
suits of learning, that men everywhere
might know the facts as they are.
Another excellent scholar, knowing
that the Bible is a literature, that as
such itmust be studied acd understood,
is publishing the Old Testament from
this viewpoint Moulton's Moderns
Readers Bible isa work that is destined
to aid i'll creating an epoch in Bible
study. The volumes are small, neat ard
compact. Each one has an lntroducticn
and at tie end explanatory notes that
really explain The text is in two kinds
Of type, the larger giving the continuous
narrative and the smaller the genealo-
gies, etc. Here is az Illustration taken
from Genesis:
'sAnd Noah lived after the fccd $50
years. And all the days Of Noah were
$40, and he died. .
Now these are. the generations OF the sons OF
Noah: Sher1, Han and Japhetia.
One can read the larger type narrative
and get continuous history of the Jews
IN Bible language.
The other movement to which ref
erence has been made is the polychrome
Bible, under the directorship of DR..
Paul Haupt Of Johns Hopkins univer-
sity. This work is in two editions-the
one which furnishes correct Hebrew
text e., as correct as the advance
ment of textual criticism will admit;
the other is an English translation, with
introduction and notes Each book is
under the editorship of a specialist.
This will be at once the most thor
oughgoing and able edition Of the Eng
Ish Bible and will have marked infu-
ence in reviving study of the Bible,
now obsolete among the people, and in
modifying to no small extent the cur
rent conservative views of the Bible. To
give one instance Of modification, that
fine passage in Job which reads in the
old version, 81 know that my redeener
liveth, :" now reads, ''I know that my
avenger liveth.' This is clear loss in
sentiment, but g great gain in accuracy,
and we must be accurate, cost what it
may.

THE HIGHER buy OF OFFICERS.

THE HIGHER DCTY OF OFFICERS.
The officers of q state (and I include
all public officers in the phrase) ought
to exercise the most scrupuloIs justice
toward the people, who elect and feed
them. For the most part they are care
less about this very matter. Most in
justice is found in financial affairs, and
here the most care should be used. Dur
ing the last two years prices have stead
lily declined and business has decreased.
Only about one-df.ieth Of / Per cent Of
tie business element Of the country has
made money. Farmers, laborers, etc.,
have had smaller incomes. But during
all this time our officers have drawn
their regular salaries, showing that they
were not willing to share the burdens Of
depression, and hence not fully CON-
petent for the positions they held. This
greed even pervades the ranks of the
clergy. How many Of them have yolun-
tarily reduced their salaries? One Of
them said to me, Il intend to have my
money" and this in the face Of dire
poverty IN the community in which he
lived
If, during these days of poverty and
hunger and nakedness, some one man
would propose to reduce his income one
half, the country would be electrified.
We should begin to agitate for an ad-
Unstable law by which all officers sala-
ries are proportioned to the income of
the people We have no right to set
apart favored few who shall be the
recipients Of special privileges Even
now, while men are hungry, the govern
or of one state-a state that is IN debt
asks for $50, 600 for repairing his man
sion Has such man any patriotism
other than that of greed and pride:
If he should offer to give half of. his
salary to the poor in wages, how the
people would rally all over that state
and feel that cne man among them was
truly noble!
The same rule should apply to officers
in corporations, to physicians, lawyers
md all other persons who earn wages.

Matteawan, n. Y, July 22--The mys-
terry surrounding the sudden death OF
Selma Larsen, the pretty parior maid
employed by Mrs. Clarence q. Dinsmore,
is no nearer solved tonight than it was
before the meeting OF the coIoner's jury
at Fishkin Landing yesterday.
The body or the dead giIl has been
buried, and CoIoner Bevier's jury have
taken page after page of testimony, but
no one as yet has been suspected OF
causing the girls death. Yet the fact
remains that in some manner a corrosive
poison found its way into the stomach Of
the gid, aud that the action caused her
death. The poison suggested bichioTide
OF mercury Dr. Daw son. OF tie General
Hospital STAIR, who was at the autopsy,
Saih tonight:
Miss Larsen had been suffering with
a cough and isad been in the llaoit OF taking
potash tablets to stop the cold and might
have possibly made q mistake and taken
some or tie corrosive sublimate tablets,
whieh Lad been used about the Dinsnore
residence TO get rid Of the insect pests.
The district attorney at Poughkeepsie is
firmly of the opinion that the girls death
was caused 10y tle breaking OF an ulcer
in her stomach which produced peri
tonitis and the symptoms Of poisoning
which the physicians who performed the
autopsy found in the stomach.
