Will some one inform SITTER read
ers if it is legal to take the $50. that
was voted at town meeting for the
observance of Memorial day toward
building a g. A. r hall !? Should
not that part which was not used be
returned to the Treasurer of the
town ? Memorial day was run too
economically" this year to suit
every one. How long is the town
going to continue to vote $50. for

The Gentlemanly Highwayman Was
Bicycle Fiend.
"I'll trouble you for your little wad,
If you pleased"
The footpad was polite, but insistent.
The luckless pedestrian looked up
and down the dimly lighted street, but
nobody else was in sight.
1T will not do you any good, my
dear friend" said the gentlemanly
highwayman, still holding revolver
pointed in most threatening manner
at the others head. "The nearest sa-
loon is half mile away, and the dis
tance to the nearest policeman is ex-
actly the same You and l have the
locality entirely to ourselves. Where
| fore"-and he gave the trigger an ON
| inous little click-"there is no occasion
for prolonging this interview. Pro-

Il see you've got the drop on me all
right enough" said the victim, grumb-
lingly, land all I'm kicking myself
about is that l didn't need to lose my
roll. | could just as well have left 1t
| at home this evening. If you'll put
your fingers in my right vest pocket
you'll find SO, more or less. It's all
I've got about me, and l was going to
spend it tomorrow for new set OF
tires for my bicycle"
what kind Of tires?" sternly de-
manded the footpad.
''The Fladger & Skimmerhorn Pune
tureless Anti-Sideslip.'
Can you get that for s9?"
Il know where l can get 1t for
shade less than So
Great Scott, old man! You keep
your little wad and go and buy that
tire. Say, do you know that's the best
tire on earth? Why, darn it, ride the
Fladger & Skimmerhorn myself
Shake!"
If this should meet the eye of the
gentlemanly highwayman he will learf
that an outrageous confidence game
was played upon him.
The belated pedestrian whom he me
on that occasion uses the Jingo &
Slabb Extra Resilient bicycle tire, ant
has no use for any other kind.
But he happened to see by the ligh
of a street lamp that the gentlemanl!

The Successful Remedy for
NASAL CATARRH

must be non-irritating, easy OF appilca-
tion, and one that will by its own action
reach the inflamed and diseased surfaces.
ELY'S CREAM BALM combines the
important requisites of quick action ana
specific curative powers with perfect
safety to the patient. This ageeable rem
edy has mastered catarrh as nothing else
has, and both physicians and patients
freely concede this fact. All druggists
cheerfully acknowledge that in it the
acme of Pharmaceutical skill has been
reached. The most distressing SYMPTOMS
quickly yield to it. In acute eases the
Balm imparts almost instant relief.
BY Absorption.
Catarrhal sufferers should remember
that Ely's Cream Balm is the only catarfh
remedy which is quickly and horo"ghsy
absorbed by the diseased membrane. 1t
does not dry upt the secretions, but changes
then to a limpid and odorless condition,
and finally to natural and healthy char
acter.
The Balm can pc found at any drug
stor or by sending 80 cents to ELY
Brothers, Sc Warren ST., New YORK, IL
will be mailed.
Full directions with each package.
Cream Balm opens and c.eanses the
nasal passages, allays inhammatlon'
thereby stopping pain in the head, heals
and protects the membrane and restores
the senses of taste and smell The Balm
is applied directly into the nostrils.

WAR NOTES..

The war department received Ad-
miral Dewey's mail report of the bat
tie at Manila, Monday, the 18th.
This was dated at Manila MAY 4th,
and tells the story substantially
as was reported by cable. He
mentions in his letter fact
which we all expected would be
forthcoming in it, lie: No COM
mander he says, "Was ever served
by more loyal, efficient and gallant
captains" Three of them who had
been detailed volunteered to remain
when they found there was to be a
battle. Of the rank and file they
fought as only true Americans can
fight.
And now the report is that the first
and second expedition to Manila are
to be held at Honolulu to await the
third, so that all may reach Manila
together. Well, we know that Ad-
miral Dewey has got the best staying
qualities Of any man in the service,
but it seems TO us not alone unkind
but unjust to hold back these troops
for weeks just to satisfy a whim of
the war department when we will
wager Admiral Dewey and his brave
men would welcome with cheer even
small boat load of men direct from
the United States that they might

To Buy a new Piano.

At meeting of the members of
the Baptist church last night it was
decided to buy a piano for the
church. The instrument is to be a
very good one and its cost is not to
exceed three hundred dollars. A
committee has been appointed to
make the purchase. 1t may be some
little time before the instrument can
be selected and placed in position.
Nine of the members present at the
meeting agreed to give five dollars
each toward the piano and the rest
of the money can be readily raised
Two members were received into
the church by letter. Both of these
are students. One of them is A. L..
Swartzwelder and the other one is a
brother of Mr.. McCutcheon. This
brings the number Of recent aces
cesions to the church up to fourteen
which is a very gratifying showing.

a stingy grown man.

ect Mr. B. sent him check for $25
and wrote him very warm letter
thanking him for the name. Why
the defeated candidate Mr.. Brian
has name sake in Homestead, he
sent him a 10 dollar cloke and a
ok. for some money I can't say what
amount and wrote very warm
letter thanking him for his kind
ness and so forth
Now Mr.. Mckinley l suppose
thinks / am fraud and don't con-
slider me wooth his notice but there
is lots of US Smiths rite here in

GABE HOLLANDS HOTEL.
A West side Landmark being torn
Down to give place to new Build
ings.

The building which has been
used for years by Gabe Holland on
the west side as hotel is being torn
down by p. S. Johnson the present
proprietor Mr. Johnson is going TO
build two story feed store and
stable to take the place of the old
building. A short distance away on
the same lot he will erect dwelling
house which he will occupy.
The old hotel is one of the land
marks on the west side and has been
in use for long term of years. Ev
erybody on that side of the river
knows Gabe and his establishment
and many of them feel a sense of loss
over the destruction of the landmark
which is going the way of so many
OF them to make room for the march
of progress which is memorable.
However the old must give away to
the new and everything be replaced
by something better. So ways the
world away.
