Our people we're surprised and
very disappointed Wednesday to
see the circus pitch its tent on the
church green, and We have not
heard one person that did not con-
denim the action of Father Lam
glois, in renting this pretty lot for
the patty sum of five dollars. This
lot was neglected by the priests,
and for nearly forty years it was q
mud hole, an eye sore and q dis
grace to the church authorities
and to our people, but of late our
citizens have raised funds, and
with the expenditure of a consi-
derable amount of money, trouble
and labor, had succeeded in put
ting the place in the condition it
is today, but their idea was that it
was to embelish the place in front
of the church, to make it q besuti-
full park, that would be to the Gre
dit of the church and the town,
and not to see the priests turn it
into a circus ground for profit,
especially for the small sum of
five dollars. Many q citizen has
expressed his disapproval by say
ing he would have paid the Eve
dollars rather than see this beau
tiful place spoiled as it was. We
say this is no place for shows or
circuses more than the church is
a place for balls and theatres, and
we hope that the unanimous con-
domination of the renting of this
place to shows, will have q good
effect for the future.

A LITTLE SUFFERER

SerofuIous Humess - How Q Cure
Was Effected.
"When i've years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. u
was worst on his chin, although the sores
ON his cheeks and hands were very bad.
II appeared In the form Of rcd pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappeartng
they would break out again. Thsy caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
to be watched continually TO keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at bis condition. Ny
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give
It to our boy and we noted an improve
ment In his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods 6arsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out Of hi

Kicking The Remains.

in national politics over q year
ago, and it died unregreted by the
great mass of American citizens.
There remains, however, a few
stslwsrts who make the "ghost
walk" and among them was found
the chief opponents to Mr.. Joseph
McKenna's confirmation as an As
sociste Justice of the Supreme
Court which, despite their opposi-
ton, was effected yesterday, and
without dissenting vote in the
Senate.
These intolerants would do we'll.
for decency's sake, to have their
"cause" decently inferred. It
would spare them the humiliation
of seeing the corpse" of their
"party" subjected to rough usage
in debate. Senator Hoar, Repu-
blican, of Massachusetts,, admin
istered the appropriate kick to the
remains" when discussing the A.
P. A. opposition to Mr.. MeKenns:
"Inasmuch as the greater number
of the charges against the nomi-
nee had been solely upon the fact
that Mr.. McKenna was q Catholic
in religion, they were not worthy
of serious consideration. The SEN
ator excorcisted the man who
would attempt to inject question
Of religion into a controversy over
. mans fitness for Office, declaring
that such an effort was un-Ameri-
can, unpatriotic, and should not
for q moment receive the conside-
ration of fair-minded men.
Senator White, Bryan Demo-
GRAFT of California, followed up
this vigorous kick with one "mor
CO." He said:
"The attempt of the A. P. A. to
interfere with the course of the
Senate in giving proper attention
to . question the determination of
which should depend upon the
consideration OF justice and fitness
40 between man and man, rather
than upon appeals to bigotry, pre-
judice and false patriotism, should
be resented. He spoke of the A.
p. A. as fools who could not be
properly characterized in the Sc
nate, and added that he was con-
vinced that that body would not
for q moment be Influenced by the
representations of an order of the
character of the A. P. A.
Senator Allen, Populist, gave as
the parting kick, the assertion that
the remains of the A. P. A." were
utterly lacking in influence; was
proscriptive organization which
insulted decent property in inter-
fering in the matter under consi-
Iteration, on ccount of religious
prejudices."
The A. p. A. needs an underta-
ker, and needs one badly. The
corpse won't keep much longer.
