1t was democratic and patriotic
argument to oppose the bond issue

1t was held that the war would be
short, and that bonds were not need

Here is funny par ,dox in trade
and tariffs: The exports of American
manufactures of iron and steelfor the
last fiscal year amounted to $40, 367,-
600, and protection organ boasts
that "in iron and steel we can beat
the world" Why then do we main
tain an average duty of 40 per cent.
on those manufactures, ostensibly to
protect" us from foreign competit-
ion which we are beating in the mar

Foul Smelling
Catarrh.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate
diseases, and hence the most difficult
to get rid of.
:, There is but one way to cure it.
The disease is in the blood, and all the
sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures
IN the world can have no permanent
effect whatever upon it. Swift's Spe-
chic cures Catarrh permanently, forit is
the only remedy which can reach the
disease and force it from the blood.

It is feared by the officers Of the

Polk county's superintendent will
work untold injury to the school In
case other county superintendcntsfo fol
low his action and take the same stand
in the matter, refusing to recognize
the diplomas of the school as sufficient
passport for teacher to job in the
schools of the county. President Seer
ley was in.the city some time ago, and
IT is said that he came to protest
against the action of Superintendent
Afsnton, tne chief ground OF complaint
being that for number of years grad
nation from the state normal school
had been regarded throughout the
state as evidence of ability prima facie,
and state normal school diplomas have
been accepted as sufficient for The is
suance OF certificates by county super
intendents without examina tons. Mr..
Brenton believes teachers should not
be allowed to go year after year with

examined. AS state certificates hold

The Costa Rtcan counterfeiters

For months the Costa Rican counter
feiters have been issuing bogus notes of
the government of the island until the
amount, it is said. has reached 81, 900, 900.
Inspectors of the secret service bureau
were chiefly instrumental in bringing the
malefactors to justice. The efficiency of
the secret service is undoubted, but it is
by no means a secret, but n patent fact,
that the service that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters does the weak, nervous and dys-
peptic is of genuine value. There have
been from time to time counterfeits of it,
but the miniature note of hand on the la
bel, and the vignette of st. George and
the Dragon, are not successfully imitable.
This tonic absolutely prevents and rene
dies malaria, rheumatism, liver complaint
and dyspepsia.
