Delany had been scrutinizing the signatures while he talked and he pointed to his own signature. There, plainly enough, was a broad line drawn underneath 1t, but so high up that 1t ran through the lower portion of some of the letters.

TAKEN UNDER AMUSEMENT.
Conclusion of the Trial of the Police men Charged With Cowardice.

The four policemen charged with de- serting Lieutenant Burke when he was shot and killed by Theodore Park Haynes were again before the Police Commission CTS last night. Wilkinson, one of the ac- cused officers, took the stand and en- phatically denied that he had threatened to kill Policeman Kennedy if he testified against him. At former meeting of the board Kennedy swore positively that Wilkinson had remarked In his presence that he would shoot him If he ''peached" on the gang. Wilkinson was the only witness examined. Attorney Deuprey counsel for the prosecution, then an nounced that he was ready to submit the case without argument. Senator Edward Wolfe, who represented Wilkinson, briefly addressed the Commissioners. He de- clared that Wilkinson had done his duty, but for some reason hfs fellow officers seemed determined to throw the burden of blame on him. After he had concluded his argument the Commissioners decided to take the case under advisement for ten days. at which time they will render their decision.

My little son, boy of five, broke out with an Itching rash. Three doctors prescribed for him, but he kept getting worse, until we could not dress him any more.

At the time I was induced Co try CUTICURA REMEDIES. be was so bad that had to cut his hair all of, and put the CUTI- cURA tointment) on him on bandageE, as 1t was impossible to touch him with the bare hand There lodS not one sq1sore Inch of ski1 on his tDhote body that t00s not G1ected. He was one mass of sores, and the stench from him was frightful. The bandages used 10 stick 10 his skin, and in removing them it used to take the skin off with them and the screams from tho poor child were heart breaking l began to think that he would never get well, but after tAe second application of CUTICURA (ointment) began to see stgnS of improvement, and with tho third and fourth applications the sores com menced to dry up. His skin peeled off twenty times, but it finally yielded to the treatment. I used the CUTICURA REsOLyEET for his blood, and now I can say that he is entirely cured, and a stronger and healthier boy you ever saw than he is today.

An ERRONEOUS impression.

| THE ARGUS has from time to time
learned from its correspondents
| throughout the county of instances
wherein the blame and responsibility
for items which have appeared in the
columns Of the paper have been at
tributsd to them. For instance, the
Milan representative of the paper
SAYS:
Once in a while the people ofMilan
find something in THE ARGUS which al
ludes to somebody or some happen
ing about court proceedings. The
first thing some do is to blame it to
the writer of these items. The other
day a lady came to us and asked if
the editor was in. We replied in the
negative, but told her we did some
reporting for THE ARGUS, under
Milan date. She said: You wrote
that | wanted divorce from my hus-
band. 1t is Il lie. - We told the lady
to 20 to headquarters; that we were
rot responsible for what The ARGUS
published. "
1t is the object of these remarks to
have it fully understood that the rep
resentatives of The ARGUS in the vari-
Gus towns and townships throughout
iIt county are llOI GSpOhSiDlc IpI
what appears in any part Of the paper.
The representative of this paper, in
whatever capacity, is responsible to
THE ARGUS and to no one else, and he
need be expected to make no explapa-
tons outside, for anything that appears
in the column for which he gathers the
news, much less for what is printed in
other parts of the paper. This does not
imply that THE ARGUS looks upon its
representatives as infallible, or that it
does not expect people who know of er-
rors having been made in any of the var
ious towns To call the attention of the
papers representative in that locality
to the fact. The ARGUS enjoins care
upon every attache of the paper. 1t
desires that each be known in his
respective community, but he should
not be blamed for statements of fact
in the paper in whose en-
ploy he is engaged. THE ARGUS rep
resentative is expected to secure all
the news. He is not authorized to
suppress anything that properly be-
longs to the news field. His duty
is to his paper, to none other.

Thursday. Aug. 25.-Yesterday was
League day on the camp ground and
| the Young folks were brought to more
of a prominence than usual. The eN-
ercises proved beyond the shadow of
doubt that the on-coming army of
christian soldiers are by no means in
| competent to assume the more respon-
siBle duties of the church. when the
time comes for them to step out into
greater activities of the christian war
fare.
The bible study service was consid-
cred so important that it was added
to the days program. 1t preceded
the love feast.
The 9 O'Clock love feast was conduct
ed by Rev. II. T. Ballew. of Viola.
There was no intermission between
this and the preceding service. The
interest here manifested unqestionably
shows the religious zeal and fervOr
possessed by those participating in the
meeting. The many and earnest tes-
timonies here given must convey an
almost irresistible weight of influence
10 the unconverted visitors.
The 1880 service. as usual was
preceded by a short and spirited song
service. Rev. W. b. Shoop, pastor in

Quoted by Miss Ella Taylor The

which followed. Directly following
the preaching service. the business |
meeting of the league was held.
