Big Load For the Millionaire.

One Of the pewly appointed inspector
generals, a young millionaire of whom
every one has heard, paid visit to the
war department the other day in order
to take his first lesson in how to be an
inspector general He went to grim
old veteran, staff officer who had ma
tured and grown old in the service, and
spoke to him in this fashion:
Il want to ask you few questions
about what my duties will be-. What
ought l to know as an inspector gener-
al? What does an inspector have to do?"
The veteran drew long breath and
looked hard at his smiling visitor.
"Well, now, really" he said, edo
you know l am afraid l shall not have
the time just now to tell you about
what an inspector general ought to
know. There are only three hours be-
fore the department closes. In fact, l
believe in America an inspector general
is supposed to know everything about
everything in connection with the army,
In Europe they think that so vast a
knowledge is almost too much to expect
of one individual, and so in the armies
there they appoint inspector generals
for each of the different branches of
the army. Here we do not recognize
any such limitations, and if you come
around when l have little more time
I will tell you everything about the ar
tillery, the cavalry, the infantry, the
engineer corps and all the other little
things it is necessary to know in order
to be an inspector general. {"

ON The RIGHT TRACK
Yardmaster Quinn, OF the o.
r. R. R., Has Novel
Experience.

For many years Mr.. A. NJ. Quinn,
Of 1916 Swan street, has been car
inspector on the o. R. r. R. About
the portion Of the road which Mr..
Gwinn has especially in his charge,
he was the authority consulted and
his opinions were never questioned.
If any of the officials of the railroad
had Mr.. Quinn work under adverse
criticism, we would expect that
gentleman to get behind it with
argument, reasoning and proof and
do his best TO subStantiate his posi-
ton, but when ne comes out Hat
footed and endorses a medicinal
preparation i'll which he has neither
monetary interest at stake or any
personal interest, we are bound TO
accept his opinions. Often as he
walked up and down the network
of tracks in the railroad yard, often
as he watched the brakeman turn
over a switch aud some engine
which threatened to telescope a
train glided gracefully out OF the
way OF danger, he wished he could
get as easily on lie right track
himself 20 cure his aching back.
Perhaps the reader may have just
as anXiously longed for this valua-
bic information. Read how Mr..
Quinn proceeded and the same re-
suit will follow:
"A friend advised me to use
Deans Kidney Pills for a kidney
trouble that bothered me for two
years, causing a dull, aching pain
across the loins. Twinges when
stopping or doing anything that
caused a strain on the back. At
times it was dreadful, and accom-
paying it was distressing and
annoying urinary difficulty, espe-
cially inconvenient at night. One
remedy was so powerful that l
could not take II. So as was b.
coming worse instead Of better, 1
took my friends advice and bought
Doan's Kidney Pills. I had no
trouble to take them. They were
prompt in giving relief. The first
few doses made an improvement
and finally the trouble disappeared.

trial if they have trouble with their
back.

To arms! To arnsl the eagle screams
The bugle sounds the call.
The roar OF battles on the breeze.
Our gallant navy plows the seas.
We're ready, one and ALL
A Spartan spirit fills the land
And mounts upon the gale.
Our flying squadrons furious ride
Upon the ocoRn, deep and wide,
Surcharged with iron hail!
The stars and stripes our oritlamo,
The Maine our battlecry,
Well swift avenge our shipmatcs' death,
Spain execrate at every breath
And fight her till we diel
Well arbitrate with cannon balls,
Teach rapine to refrain,
O'erturn by force of arms the wrong
In God our trust, in justice strong
Till liberty obtainl
Well double shot each believing gun
And tinge the oceans red,
Rain down upon Spain's Wanted feet
An avalanche of iron sleet
And pave their decks with dead.
As bravely speed our gallant tars
Across the raging sea,
Well charge upon the Spanish main,
Annihi!ate the horde9 Of Spain
And set poor Cuba freel

The city council has made a good
many errors, especially in the ap-
pointment of its officers and in per
sisting in holding up its illegal
appointments after they were made
and The council knew better. This
will result in expensive litigation
and can have no>other result than
in the defeat of the town and the
costs will be paid by the tax pay
ers. So far as collecting fines the
mayor is doing very good work.
The building of the wharf, if it is
built, will be a great and much
needed improvement. The appro-
priation of $500 to aid in making
macadam road to our cemetery is
also a commendable move. TAX
ing it all in all we can not say that
the present administration has been
a glittering success so far. Still
there is room for its redemption
yet. We notice some councilmen
do not attend the meetings.
They should either attend or re-
sign. Tax bills will soon be issued
in the name of H. B. Nissan as col,
lector. Then the taxpayers will
have an opportunity to test this ap-
pointment of a nonresident, and
then the collecting of taxes will be
tied up for no one knows how long.
This is a matter the council have
been told about in public and in
private. They have seen fit to try

WEDNESDAY JULY IS, 1898.

SisterSvllle has grown from III
tie village of 500 to a city of 5000.
We have water works, sewerage,
paved streets, a fire department,
electric lights and about everything
any city has many times larger
than it is. We have All old charter
to work under, passed in 1866. 1t
is a good charter for a village, but
not for city. We want a new
charter, one that will allow us to
Law the town off in wards so that all
will be represented. We want to
elect our collector, assessor, chief
of the fire department, water SUI
perintendent and so on. We want
greater municipal privileges the
same as other cities have. There
is no good reason why we should
not have the charter, but some con-
temptible little asses told our rep
resentative, Hughes, to oppose cur
charter, and that ended it. We
challenge any enc to give any just
reason why we should not be
allowed to have a better charter.
We defy any one to give good
reason why a few people who live
in Middlebourne should be allowed
to oppose Our charter. 1t is none
of their business. We think we are
entitled to the charter. We pro-
nose to elect men who will give us
a charter. Are we doing wrong in
trying to protect our own homes
and fresides? We think not. Any
town in the county, so far as we are
concerned, can have new charter
or a dozen of them for all we care.
We would not have the impudence
to oppose them in such a thing
We wish every town in the county
would prosper and grow hundred
times greater than they are now.
We claim the right to be allowed to
grow ourselves. 1t Injuries no one.
1t is a right we intend to insist on
or raise hail Columbia. Old prom
ises won't 60 this year. We make
no threats, but we simply notify the
bosses they can give us fair trial
this year or down they 60.

Hughes says, among other
things as to why he should be sent
to the legislature is because he re-
ceived the third largest majority Of
any man who ever ran on the re
publican ticket in the county. The
facts are he ran behind his party
vote from ten to seventy votes and
he was not nearly SO we'll known
in 1896 as he is now.

According to a statement in the
Star, Hughes as our representative,
in the last legislature, voted 10
change the time of holding our cir
cult court; after such desperate
and heroic act, we say he should be
allowed to rest for one session at
least.

and then we will see where We
will stand. 1t is to be regretted
that the town will have to suffer,
and not the council as individuals.
But it may learn other councilmen
to respect the law, and this may be
worth a good deal.
