Vie with each other In getting the
largest crowd.
Altogether seven public meetings
were held. To see and hear the cx-
prcssions OF love and humility OF the
Elders a. each gave a report Of his
labors'was very gratifying.
RumorH had been circulated that
these mectlng- were strictly private
and for the purpose Of discussing the
secrets Of Mofmoniam." To dispcl this
Illusion the public were invited 10 at
tend. A few accepted and with soft
encd hearts, made 50 by the Influence
Of the holy Spirit 80 manifest among
the Elders, declared they were the best
meetings Of the conference.
The parting ~ the visiting Saintn
from their new-made friends ns they
began their homeward journey, was
very affecting. Strong evidence was
given that since the love of God had
come to them they had greater love
one for another
on Monday morning the Elders met
again and were assigned their fields
Of labor.

Another Friend Gone.

We were panied to learn, Monday
evening, that Mrs. Ida Pattie, wife of
Frank Patio, of Harris, had died Mon
day morning. She had been sick but a
short time, and her death was unlocked
tor. She leaves a husband and three
little children her parents, NJ. J. Turrell
and wife, her brother, Joseph Turrell and
her sicter, Minnie Turrel to mourn their
great loss
Mrs Patte was an active reformer.
She was possessed of more than ordin-
arv intelligence, and was well informed
upon all live topics. She took great in
terest in the struggle between humanity
and capitalism, and spent both time and
money in educating the people along the
lines OF reform. The AGITAToR counted
her among its many friends, and we sh al
miss her. We extend our heartfelt sym
pathy to the bereaved family.
The remains were brought to Garrett
and the funeral services held at the First
Baptist church.

The Right Remedy Will
Danish it Forever. .

If you would forever be rid of
the aches and pains, and some
times the tortures produced by
Rheumatism, you must take the
right remedy. Those who con-
tinue to suffer are relying upon
remedies which do not reach their
trouble. The doctors treatment
always consists of potash and
mercury, which only intensity the
disease, causing the joints to stiff
en- and the bones to ache, besides
seriously impairing the digestive
organs.
Rheumatism Is a disordered state of
the blood, and the only cure for it is n
real blood remedy. Swift's Specific Is.
8. 81 goes down to the very bottom of
all diseases of the blood, and promptly
cures cases that other remedies can not
reach.
Mr.. E. X. S. Clinkenbeard, promi-
nent attorney of Mt. Sterling, KY,
writes: ;
"Two years ago was great sufferer
from Rheumatism. / had tried every
remedy I could hear of except s. s. S.
/ had been to Hot Springs, Ark, where
remained for twelve weeks under
treatment, but experienced no perma-
nent relief, and returned home, be-
lieving that / would be sufferer as
long as / lived. At time when my
pains were almost unbearable, /

Attempted Suicide.

Last Sunday night, about 10 o'clock,
Miss Rosa Stout, eldest daughter of
Thos Stout, of Putnam township, shot
herself with revolver, with suicidal in
tent.
The family had retired for the night
About the time mentioned, a shot and a
scream were heard and one of the boys,
revolver in hand, rushed into the room
where his sister lay. He saw what had
happened, and aroused other members of
the family who were not awakeded by
the shot.
Rosa had gone to bed, taking revol-
yer with her. She barred her breast, held
the revolver with with the muzzle
straight toward her and fired. The ball
struck about an inch above the breast
bone, struck a rib and followed it around,
coming to the surface little to the left
of the spine.
Dr. Schoonover was sent for, and he
went, taking DR.. Kirkpatrick with him,
and they removed the ball without much
trouble, and dressed the wound. They
left her feeling as we'll as possible under
the circumstances.
The unfortunate girl is about twenty
years of age. She acknowledged that
she tried to kill herself, saying: 81 did it
myself. No one else is to blame" She re.
fused, however, to give any reason for
the rash deed
The probability is that she will recover

UNCONSTITUTIONAL"

Attorney General GODDARD has decided that
the special session of the legislature is illegal
just as we supposed he would. There are
other and better attorneys than GODDARD who
say it was legal. For instance, John G. John
son, of Garrett, who is better lawyer than
GODDARD, says he thinks the special session was
wrong, but it was legal, all the same.
The matter has been taken to the district
court by ex-Lieutenant- Governor Harvey. If
the district judge decides in favor of the le-
gality of the session, that will probably settle
it; but if he decides against it, the case will be
taken to the supreme court

Faith in The Boy.

Have faith in the boy, not believing
That he is the worst of his kind,
In league with the army of Satan
And only to evil inclined;
But daily to guide and control him
Your wisdom and patience employ,
And daily, despite disappointment
And sorrow, have faith in the boy.
Have faith to believe that some moment
In life's strangely checkered career,
Convicted, subdued and repentant,
The prodigal son will appear;
The gold in his nature rejecting
The dark and debasing alloy,
llluming your spirit with gladness,
Because you have faith in the boy.
The brook that goes dashing and
dancing
We may not divert from its course
Until the wild, turbulent spirit
Has somewhat expended its force;
The brook is the life of the river,
And if we the future might scan,
We'd find that boisterous bovhoo
Gave vigor and life to the man.
Have faith in his good resolutions,
Believe that at last he'll prevail,
Though now he's forgetful and needless,
Though day after day he may fail,
Your doubts and suspicious misgivings
His hope aud his courage destroy;
So, if you'd secure brave manhood,
It's well to have faith in the boy.

Arkansas Justice.

Our friend J. B. Wood, OF the north
side furniture store, is something of a
"Josher" He likes to tell story, and
he tells it we'll The other day, he told
this story:
81 was down in Arkansas number of
years ago, looking after some cattle
The streams were up, and was water
bound. One day, darkey, riding big,
fine mule, came down to the stream on
the opposite side from where we were,
and undertook to cross. Some of the
boys on our side told him not to try to
cross, as the water was so deep that it
would swim the mule. The darkev
laughed at the boys and urged his mule
forward, but when the mule came to the
bank, he refused to go any further After
considerable coaxing, the darkey drove
his spurs into the mules sides, and the
mule threw his rider over his head, into
the stream, and the darkey was drowned
He floated down stream short distance
and 10 1ged in pile of driftwood
IAN old justice of the peace lived in the
neighborhood and he was notified of
the fate of the Negro; so he and | went
down to see about it, When we reached
the drift-wood, the justice of the peace
adjusted his specs and looked at the
darkey awhile; then ordered ropes and
other tackle, and had the drowned man
hauled to shore. He then emp lneled
jury to sit on the corpse. The old man
looked at the darkey as he lay with his
face to the sky, then turned him over,
and discovered two big navy revolvers
strapped onto the body. This settled the
matter. The old justice fined the darkey
$50 for carrying concealed weapons. He
then sold the mule for $50, and took the
revolvers to pay his own fees, and the
jury got nothing.
"You bet, the old man was onto his
job"
