A LETTER FROM N. DOAN.

EDITORS INDEX: 1 have been credi-
bly, informed that some parties have
been circulating the statement that l
would not support Mr.. Shell. 1t is ab-
solutely false in every particular.
In the first place believe the inter-
ests of the schools of Barber county de-
mand the election. regardless of poll
tics, of school man-One who has
come up through all the grades, from
the little district school among the
hills and canons to the senior class in
the high school; who can 60 into the
schOOlroOm, see at a glance what the
teacher needs and draw from fund of
reliable experience to help her. 1t is not
enough that the superintendent be lib
orally educated. Greek and Hebrew
will not help him manage a district
school o. tell at visit what it needs, if
not qualified by experience previously
derived. It will not arouse an interest
in education in locality where there
is none. For this reason, first, 1 shall
support Mr.. Shell. Second: AS stu
dent of political economy l believe in
the principles laid down in the Omaha
platform and also l believe In some
others not therein but which the adop-
tiOn OF the Initiative and referendum
will give us an opportunity to accept
or to reject. vote the Populist ticket
because | believe that party will the
soonest enact those principles into law
am the property of no party but il
holding those opinions makes me a
Populist that is what am. And when
other things are equal believe any of.
flee will be best administered by mer
holding those views. For that reason
second, shall vote for Mr.. Shell.
There are radical and conservative
elements in every party but the point.
of difference among Populists are ques
tions OF strategy not of principle. Eact
faction desires the success of ever,
plank in the platform and the onl,
point of dispute is how best to secur,
that success.
When Incompetent or untrustworth,
men by improper influence obtain a DO
sition on any ticket excepting the in
fiuence of good candidates, to elec
them, I believe it is the duty of the vot
sr to exercise his independence il
such cases, and I do not believe tha
he forfeits his membership in the par
ty by so doing.
Yours in the Cause,
] JOHN M. DoAN.

About one month ago my child
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhoea accompanied by
vomiting. l gave it such remedies as
are usually given in such cases, but as
nothing gave relief, we sent for ply
siclan and it was under his care for a
week. At this time the child had been
sick for about ten days and was having
about twenty-five operations Of the
bowels every twelve hours, and we were
convinced that unless it soon obtaine
relief 1t would not live. Chamberlain s
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
was recommended, and I decided to
try it. I soon noticed a change for the
better by its continued use complete
cure was brought about and 1t is now

Doing the Difficult.
Sunday-School Times.

Sunday-School Times.
There is no virtue in doing a diff
cult thing if the difficult thing is not
good thing to do. Some persons
pride themselves on mere trouble that
they have taken, and expect to be
Landed accordingly. They do not seem
to have thought whether the trouble
they took had anything more to recon-
mend it than its troublesomeness.
And hence they trouble the world
with that which is not worth the
worlds attention. God never works
to no purpose. He would not have
his creatures work to no purpose. La
Dor has no value without purpose
The most difficult things with most
persons is to have high purpose and
stick to 1t. That is the sort OF difficult
thing that is always worthy Of praise.

daughter-whv should he not run over

He jumped up; the next moment
he sat down again, the smile gone
from his face. Last year when he
crossed the ocean to see his little girl,
she hurried him down to Brighton so
that he should not meet her English
friends. She was annoyed by his man
ners, his accent, and he soon felt that
she was ashamed of him.

to take him home. He understood.
They cared only for his money.
