The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires con stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature ir doing it's work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollar: for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Florence public school celebrated the birthday of Washington in good style last Tuesday. The two upper grades, taught by Mir. Nets and Mrs. Summers, rendered an interesting and appropriate programme. Songs and exercises breathed the spirit.of patriot ism and were benefit to every child taking part in inculcating love for our country. Under the able training of Mrs. Summers the boys and girls of her room sang and spoke and waved their flags in unison in a number of pretty exercises, while the oldest scholars, under Mir. Nets, sang patriotic songs and marched to the good old airs of Red, White and Blue and Star Spangled Banner. The thirteen origi- nal states, represented by the girls, were presented to General Washington in good style, while Columbia smiled upon the scene, upholding large and handsome flag. The boys acted equal ly well their part as a guard of honor carrying real guns. The mothers of the pupils were present in force and with a number of other interested persons made good sized audience.

Can cubans Govern ThemseIyesi

One of the best known diplomatists recently declared that the Cubans are incapable of governing themselves, and that the United States must maintain it's present control indefinitely, or else annex the island. There will be those who will dispute this, but there are none who dispute the well established fact that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is capable of controlling the common diseases of the stomach. It is remedy that is backed by fifty years of success. It is an ideal medicine for constipation ; 8 strengh builder for those who are predisposed to long troubles, and for nervousness it Is of wonderful benefit. As an appetizer it is incomparable. Those whose stomachs are out of order should not fail to try bottle.

As to Mr. Arthur's Absence.

This is the Phoenix Republicans ac- count of the manner in which the Clark Stewart resolutions passed the house Finally, through the coaching of the experienced councilmen, the previous question was demanded, and the result was a party vote of 13 democratic ayes, to 10 republican nays. Speaker Ashurst ruled shat the motion was lost, two-thirds of the members not having voted in the affirmative. MT. Adams had his cue by this time and he appealed from the decision of the chair. The question being, should the chair be sustained, the vote resulted Il ayes to l2 nays, the speaker voting to sustain his own decision, which he had no right to do. Had the absent republican (Mr. Arthur been seated, the vote would have been tie, the chair would have been sustained, and the house might have been still in session. Up to this point MT. Ashurst had been fair, but here he went to pieces. He ruled that the decision Of the chair on question which required two-thirds vote to carry had been overruled by majority vote, and that the question before the house was the adoption of the resolution. The resolution was then adopted by vote of1S to 10.n
