ALCOHOLISM.
One Week in This
City,

Depsomania, alcoholism, delerium
tremens, Jim jams, snakes-call it by
whatsoever name you will and it is
bad-very bad, and yet more than
twenty deaths were occasioned by it
in this city last week, and yet few
people knew of it. When the cold
weather first threatened it was deemed
best to protect the goldfish in the
city park fountain by transferring
them to the pumphouse, which is kept
comfortably warmed during the win
ter. Preparations were made for a
continuous stream of water and a
whisky barrel was purchased for the
indoor pool. 1t was as thoroughly
cleansed as possible, and the fish were
placed in it. They did not thrive,
and at the end of two days they were
all dead. It was a clear case of death
from intoxication. These are the fish
contributed by Messrs. Jacob jacob,
B. w. How and S. P. Hansen. The
city has secured a fresh supply, but
| won't try to winter them on whiskey.

Story of a Slave,

To be bound hand and foot for years by
the chains of disease is the worst form of
slavery. George d. Williams, of Manches-
ter, Mich, tells how such a slave was made

helpless for FIVE years that she could not
turn over in bed alone. After using two bot.
ties Of Electric Bitters, she is wonderfully
improved and able to do her own work.h
This supreme remedy for female diseases
quickly cures nervousness, sleeplessness,
melancholy, headache, bacKache, falnting
and dizzy spells. This miracle working
medicine is a godsend to weak, sicKly, run
down people. Every bottle guaranteed.

A CurfeW Ordinance.

The city council at it's regular
meeting on Tuesday evening passed
a curfew ordinance which will inter-
est every child of sixteen years and
under, as we'll as their parents and
guardians. At eight o'clock the fire
bell will give warning by clear and
unmistakeable taps warning children,
excepting those who can show that
they have a specific errand that they
must forthwith get off the street.
Failure to comply means arrest.
Upon the first offence the child will be
taken home. For subsequent offences
Imprisonment will follow and the par
ents or guardian will be ~suject to fine.
Wherever tried in the state the or
dinance has proved satisfactory and
beneficial,
The street is a night school OF vice
and improvidenee, and the pupils are
usually very proficient. Now that the
ordinance is passed let it be rigidly
enforced.

sisting the ladies of the Methodist

The Tone Of Oxford University.

The atmosphere Of culture which per-
vades every part of the university is the
truest cause of OXford's greatness. Dull,
indeed, must the student be who is
not touched and deeply influenced by this
great force during his university life 1t
strikes the foreigner Immediately. The
first evidence of it comes perhaps in the
course Of the first conversation in a stu
dents room, at which he happens to be
present. He will not fail to notice the
correctness of expression, and usually the
vigor and freshness of thought which
are the salient characteristics of the con-
versation of the best Oxford men. OF
course, there are exceptions. There are
frequent examples of the literary dude
in Oxford as well as anywhere else OF
the man who sacrifices all pretense to
sincerity and soundness to a mohlentary
and half-cheap, epigrammaric brilliancy
of expression. But this is not true of
the average Oxford man.-Harvard Bull

black dots. By preconcerted arrange

undertone the first line of the Vesper
prayer. In process of time the two monks
managed to complete the set Of stones
and to perfect the rules of the game, SO
that when the term of incarceration had
expired the game was SO interesting it
was generally adopted by all inmates of
the monastery as a lawful Dastime It
very soon spread from town to town and
became popular throughout Italy, and
the first line of the vespers was reduced
to the single word domino, by which
name the game has ever since been
known.

issue against Paul b. Hudson, the manu-
facturer Of the foot powder called DIR.

retail dealer of Brooklyn, restraining them
from making or selling DR.. Clark's Foot
Powder. which is declared, in the decision
of the Court, imitation and Infringement
of "Foot-Ea the powder to shake into
your shoes for tired. aching feet, now so
largely advertised and sold all over the
country. Allen $. Olmsted, of Leroy, y. Y,
is the owner of the trademark Foot Ease"
and he is the first indiEidpal. who ever adj
vertsed . foot powder extensively over the
country. He will send a sample Free to
any one who writes him for it. The decis-
ion in this case upholds his trade mark and
renders all parties liable who fraudulently
attempt to profit by the extensive Foot

ket a spurious and similar appearing prep
aration, la beed and put up In envelopes and
boxes like FoOt-Ease. Similar suits will be
brought against others who are now infrin-

The Deering Ideal Mower, made in
Chicago, affords an interesting study in
advanced machines, and is as project a
machine as brain, Drawn and money can

Deering Roller and Ball Bearings. The
Ideal has a very wide truck and high
wheels, insuring great stability and am

of lost motion is SO slight that the instant
