There has been a pleasure in
transacting business in the county
clerks office during the past two
years. Mr.. Nichols has all the
time recognized that he was the
peoples public servant and acted
accordingly. He never assumed
to be the whole thing, was never
arbitrary in his conduct and ex>
tended uniform courtesy to all
the public who had business with
the office. 1t is not always the
most pleasant job to be at the beck
and call Of everyone, because all
people are not alike and there are
those who take pleasure in subs
jecting public officer to petty an
noyance, because they know that
to some extent he is at their mercy.
However, with all these Mr.. Nlch>
OILS has contended and the universal
Judgment is that he has successful
ly maintained his own dignity, the
dignity of the Office performed its
duties and has offended no one,

lying on = level service and not in action
every muscle should be soft, pliable,
presenting, no ridges, but a smooth even
surface.
How does the osteopath nnd the mus

internal troubles? In many sasss the
muscles are quite rigid, contracted to
tn cir utmost To the hand Of the opsr-
ator they feel much like a rope under

Such muscle is contested it is pull

close together and closing the intercos-

get an opportunity to place vote
in the ballot box against William
Campbell. The gentleman's in
tentions in public life may be good,
but he has the unhappy faculty of
doing things which set him con-
trariwise with the people. His
friends are attempting to make
political capital for him, because
his opponent happens to be di-
rector in a banking institution,
whose junction is loaning money.
This is no crime, or at least Mr..
Campbell, despite his friends, does
not think so, because he has no
aversion whatever to turning cent
per cent whenever opportunity
offers. We don't blame Mr.. Camps
bell either, because he has right
to do as he pleases with his money,
but he should not let his friends
make Jacks of themselves by be-
rating a man for being a stock
holder Of a banking institution
when he loans money himself.

about 5000 foot-tons energy, as against
3,2O4 foot-tons for the old slow-fire 6-inch
weapon. This, as may readily be SEEN,
represents an increase in energy of nearly
100 per cent.
Another noticeable fact about this vast
work of construction is it's distribution,
for 1t illustrates the great change that
had recently occurred in the ship building
Industry. At the organization of the new
navy the first four ships were built by a
single firm, but at the present time no less
than fourteen American concerns are
building ships for the navy of this coun-
try. OF these two are on the Pacific and
the other twelve are scattered along the
coast of the Atlantic, from Maine to Vir-
ginia.
OF all our new vessels the sheathed
cruiser Albany is alone of foreign build,
and this is due to the fact that she was
purchased on the stocks from Brazil just
prior to the breaking out of the war. AT
that time it was quite necessary that we
should have the Amazonas, to prevent
Spain from getting her if for no other
reason. Brazil, however, refused to sell
one ship without disposing of others at
the same time n the navy department
agreed to the terms. The Nitcheroy was
made a part of the deal and she became
the useful Buffalo, fully worth every dol
lar of the $575, 900 nat was paid for her.
The Amazonas, which had just been COM
pleted, cost us 5 1,429, 215 but as the New
Orleans she vas of great value. being the
only American warship provided with
smokeless powder for all batteries.
Her sister ship, the Almirante Abru.
now known as the Albany, was then
nothing more than a few ribs at New
~castle-on-Tyne. but we took the con-
