STAND BY THE COLLEGE,
A Plea For Willie HalseI|
College.

An interesting ana lmpor'an'
epoch in the educational interests
of yinita is now upon US. Next
September there will be Inaugural
ted here system OF public schools
unsurpassed by any town OF equal
size in the country. The school
board is composed of public spir'
tied, enterprising and representa-
tive men who generally succeed IN
accomplishing what they under
take, and the public school OF
Vinita is to be no exception.
Whatever is to the best interest
of the town at large should be to
the best interest of every individu-
al. The public school is a public
necessity, and every good citizen
should encourage the enterprise.
Another thing that Vinita can not
afford to be without is good col
lege. Thousands of dollars are
going annually to the schools In
states that ought to remain in the
territory.
The time has come in the histo-
Iry of Willie Halsell College when
it must offer the public better ia
cilities for school purposes, raise
| it's standard and broaden its intiu-
ence. or cease to exist under the
name and enjoy the privileges OF q
college. 1t is impossible for any
school unaided to become first
class college. The people in whose
midst and for whose benefit is es-
tablished must contribute of their
means more than the bare cost OF
their children's tuition, or they
will never enjoy the honor OF a col
lege in their town. Their children
must grow up without college
education or 60 elsewhere, away
from home influences, and take
money out of the country that
ought to remain at home.
AS small as our school is this
year, and as low as our rates are,
it has been the means of increas-
ing Vinita's trade to an amount
exceeding S., 900 that would other
wise have gone elsewhere. We
ought easily to increase this
amount ten fold if the proper Ell
forts are put forth. At present we
are seriously handicapped by dor
mitory room and other equipments
necessary for any high grade
school. Many Improvements are
seriously needed to put everything
on proper footing that would be a
source of income to the town and
that ought to be appreciated.
Fifty boarders will spend for all
purposes on an average Of SIS each
per month, which in ten months
would amount to the snug little
sum of s12, 800, ninety per cent OF
which would stay in Vinita. We
must have at least that many to
begin with next September. In
crease the number of boarders to
two or three hundred, and see
what the income would be to the
business interests to the town.
Will the people OF Vinita let this
opportunity pass, or will they real
ize the Importance of acting
promptly and come to our aid?
We expect to make house to
house canvass and give every man
woman and child in Vinita an op-
portunity to contribute to fund
for the purpose Of erecting DORM
itory, putting in steam heating ap-

One of Us.

 The day will dawn when one of us shall hearken In vain to hear voice that has grown dumb And morns shall fade, moons pale and shad ows darken While sad eyes watch for feet that never come. One of us two must some time face existence Alone with memories that but sharpen pain, And these sweet days shall shine back in the distance Like dreams of summer dawns in night of rain. One of us two with tortured heart half bro ken, Shall read long treasured letters through salt tears; Shall kiss with anguished lips each cherished That speaks of these love crowned. delicious years. One of us two shall find all light, all beauty, All joy on earth, a tale forever done; Shall know henceforth that life means only duty O God o God have pity on that one.

HON. G. ". JULIAN DEAD.
A Prominent Figure of American Poii-
 tics Died Suddenly on July !.

hts Dtcu cuuucuiy @h suhy s.
 The NEWS and many of its readers ex- tend sympathy to Frederick Julian, the we'll krown actor, who received at Corn wall Bridge on Friday telegram an- nouncing the death of lis father that day at l a. ID. at his home in Irving ton, Indiana. Mir Julian left imme- diately to attend the funeral which was on Sunday and returned at once to the Julian company which are playing Tn this region. He paid his father visit five weeks ago and left him in the best of health. aud was very much shocked to hear of his death which was caused by apoplexy.
 Hon. George ". Julian was born Tn 1877 and came to be a striking figure of American politics. He, was several times elected U. s. congressman from Indiana, being a colleague of Henry Clay, Wade and Sumner. He was an ardent Abolitionist and was much opp posed to Clay's "Compromise Act" or
  nous Clay to duel In 1852 he was the candidate for Vice President of the new Free Soil party, the head of the ticket being John P. Hale of New Hampshire. This party grew into the Republican party which in 1856 nomi- mated John c. Fremont and conducted h1 Nry "Free Soil and Fremont" Opposed to Hale and Julian in 1852 were Frank. lin J. Peirce of New Hampshire and William R. King of Alabama, the Dem- ocratic nominees who were successful. :. General Winfield Scott was the nomi- nee of the Wings. MT Julian was a politician and statesman and had passed the latter part of his life in Irvington. In 1872 after the election, Horace Greeley, the candidate of the Democrats, died and the Democratic electors scatter ed their vote when the electoral college met and voted for four different men for President and eight different Vice-Presi- ucutS, MT uuIihus hS h mCA DCk VI shO Liberty party, receiving five of the electoral votes for Vice-President. He became Democrat about this time and afterwards held high office under President Cleveland, also being appointed Surveyor General to Mexico. He ''stumped" the state of Illinois in 1896 for the Palmer and Buck ner ticket. A few years ago he con- tributed to The Forum very interest ing article on "Ante Bellum Politics.
 George Julian is survived by two sons, Paul, 2 surveyor. and Frederick. the actor, and one married daughter, Mrs Grace Clark who with her husband, Lawyer Clark of Indianapolis, lived with Mir Julian. He was twice married, his first wife dying about 38 years ago. His second wife was the youngest daughter of Joshua R. Giddings, the noted Abolitionist. She died about 15 years ago. Mr Julian was strong SUD- porter of the Woman Suffrage move ment and was personal friend of Mrs Staunton and Susan B. Anthony.

Deaf.e.. Ca.'s be Cured

oy local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con- stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or i'm perfect hearing. and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to Its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed condition of the mucuous sur faces.
 We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.
