Monday we noticed number of
our farmers trying to put in wheat,

place.
We hear it whispered that this

The trend Of the implement trade

Geo. S. Faaborg tells us that him
self and his brother at Clinton, Iowa,
contemplate forming a partnership
and erecting large store building at
Kimballton and filling the same with
heavy stock Of dry goods and clo-

Beware of Ointment For Catarrh
That Contains Mercury,

as mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucous surfaces. Such ar
ticles should never be used except on
prescriptions from reputable physicians
as the damage they will do is ten fold
to the good you can possibly derive
from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, man
ufactured by r. ]. Cheney & Company
at Toledo, Ohio, contains no mercury,
and is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces Of
the system. In buying Halls Catarrh

The Drunkard'S Burden.

Take up the drunkard's burden and help him
all you car,
Fighting the cause that turks behind the incor-
poration plan;
Ne'er mind the peoples praises, the praise that
liquor brings,
But squarely fight against it--have done with
childish things.
Take up the drunkards burden and make no
idle show,
whiskey flow
And guard the folks you love so WE'LL tempta-
. tlon keep away
Have ordered schools and business closed. upon
the Sabbath Day.
Take up the drunkard's burden, protect the
boys you love.
Keep down the liquor demon, the village to
improve;
Fix up those broken sidewalks, those mud-in-
tested streets,
But do not tax the drunkard's soul, the towns
expense to meet.
Take up the drunkard's burden, proceed in
To help him fight the drinking curse, insuring
happy days;
The sidewalks will not suffer the mud will still
be there,
And many happy mother will breath a thank
ful prayer
Take up the drunkard's burden and keep no
stagnant pools
Composed of beer and whiskcy, but stick to
Christian rules.
We cannot do him justice, when voting for the
drink,
Ii you have any children, just stop awhile and
think.
Take up the drunkard's burden and help him,
day by day,
To save his daily earnings not to drink away
His wife's and children's likelihood, the town
expense to meet,
To help fix broken sidewalks and mud-infested
streets.
Take up the drunkard's burden, he needs
helping hand
For when he's got dollar, he's lord of all the
land;
His friends which then are many--fock round
him thich as sand,
And when the whiskeys all drank up, alone
again he'll stand
Take up the drunkard's burden, for it is hard to
bear
Fail not, his name to mention, when on your
knees in prayer;
His soul is just precious to God as yours
will be,
And think, where will drunkard spend his
eternity? CHAS. B. SYKES.

1t is only after long ages of social dis
cipline, fraught with cruel affections and
grinding misery, says John Fiske in the
Atlantic, that the moral law becomes
dominant and religious aspiration intense
and abiding in the soul. When such a
stage is reached, we have at length in
man creature different in kind from
his predecessors, and fit for an everiast-
ing life of progress, for a closer and
closer communion with God in beatitude
that shall endure forever.
AS we survey the course of this Won
derful evolution, it begins to become
manifest that moral evil is simply the
characteristic Of the lower state Of liv-
ing as looked at from the higher state.
Its existence is purely relative, yet it is
profoundly real, and in process of
perpetual spiritual evolution its presence
IN some hldeOuS form throughout a long
series of upward stages is indispensable.
Its absence would mean stagnation,
quiescence, unprogressiveness. For the
moment we exercise conscious choice be-
tween one course of action and another
we recognize the difference between bet
ter and worse, we fOreshadOw the whole
grand contrast between good and bad.
In the process Of spiritual evolution,
therefore, evil must needs be present
But the nature of evolution also requires
that 1t should be evanescent. In the
higher stages that which is worse than
the best need no longer be positively bad
After the nature of that which the up
Ward-striving soul abhors has been for
ever impressed upon it. amid the long
Elclssltudes Of its pilgrimage through the
dark realms of sin and eXpiation. it is
at length equipped for its final sojourn
III the blest Kingdoms meek of joy and love
From the general analogies furnished
IN the process of evolution we are en-
titled to hope that, as it approaches it's
goal and man comes nearer to God the
fact of evil will lapse into a mere mem
DRY, IN which the shadowed past shall
serve as a background for the realized
glory Of the present.

DETAILS OF DISASTER.
Nearly 100 Pearl Fishing Vessels
Wrecked and 3S5 Persons
Lost Their Lives.

Victoria, 3. c., May 2O-Shortly be-
fore the just-arrived steamer Niowera
left Sydney for this port the cutter Mys-
scene of the recent disaster by hurricane
on the North Queensland coast by which
practically every vessel engaged in the
pearl fishery was wrecked and much
property lost afioat and ashore
The sights that met the eyes of the
relief expedition along the desolated
coast were horrifying beyond description.
In one place where Il picturesque fishing
village, with Il population of 300, had
stood, neither house nor tree nor living
thing was left. The site of the little set
Element looked like plowed land, and the
survivors among the fishing folk had fed
for safety to an inland town twelve
miles distant
There and further along the coast
mangled bodies of men and domestic ami
mails were found. Several were rescued
with some difficulty, wedged in the
branches OF trees that had defied tho
storm, where they had been blown from
distances as great as a quarter of a
mile. The Mystery's officers and crew
recovered in all ifty-eight bodies. of
which eighteen were identified and
claimed by mourning relatives. Of the
remaining forty, thirtysix were natives,
whose remains were given respectable
burial in one great trench.
The Mystery party found large fish
and wreckage thirty and forty feet above
high-water level, and trees and vegetation
leveled for upwards of fifty miles along
the coast.
An official report. says that eighty-six
vessels were wrecked and that $50 people
lost their lives

for more than hour, but the interview
was decidedly unsatisfactory, the COM
mission having nothing definite to pro-
pose and being unempoWered to nego-
tate terms.
The commissioners brought a commu-
nIcation direct from Agunaldo asking
for an armistice pending the direction of
the decision of the Filipino congress as to
what policy should be adopted.
AS before Gen. Otis refused to enter
tain the proposition.
The commissioners, after leaving the
city hall, accepted an invitation to visit
the Oregon and the other vessels of the
American fleet in the bay. and they were
also granted permission to see their fami-
hes before returning.
