md asked the nurse to paste it in his

ing, and asked the nurse to paste it in his hat for reference.
 The matter was forgotten by the time Hogg left the hospital and went back to his place ,but as he never showed himself in the village, his recovery was not gen. erally known. Certain it is that the news never reached the ears of the author of the beautiful obituary.
 Tired with his manifold duties, the West chester editor last Saturday night feeling hot and thirsty, stopped in at several of the village barrooms to gather news for the next weeks number.
 It was quite late, almost o'clock, when he finally started for home. The moon shone on the road, but it's light was uneer- tain, and the ditches either side had a peculiar tendency to come together in the center of the road, so that he had great difficulty in keeping out of them.
 With some eXertion he climbed hil and soon found himself attempting to cross plank over a brook. He declares now that the plank slipped, but it is rumored he imagined himself to be Jim Corbett and tried to side step from under a phantom of one of Jeffries' vicious blows. There is, however, no doubt that he fell in the brook, and, as he dislikes the taste of water which is not burned, he cried for help.
 Answering these appeals, a man came running across the misty meadows and pulled the poor editor out of the brook, and with vigorous application of first aid to the drowned, finally got him to open his eyes. The moonlight fell full on the face of the rescuer and his light crash suit, and revealed to the slightly dazed and dripping editor the still somewhat pale features of one who, to his best belief, had long been moldering in the graveyard.
 Then there broke on the still night a cry so terrible that it frightened the mosqui- toes in neighboring swamps With one bound the man leaped to his feet, and be- lore the rescuer could recover from his surprise the editor had dashed down the road and disappeared in the darkness James Hogg shouted after him a "Hoot, mon, dinna ye kin me?" But there came no answer, except the sound of retreating footsteps.
 The next number of the paper is await ed with interest by the few who have been initiated into the real cause of the cold which has troubled the editor for the last few days.

EDITOR AND HIS GHOST
The Man Whose Obituary He Published
 Rescued Him

Some few weeks ago there appeared in one of the country newspapers of West chester county an obituary, in which the editor announced with the usual eulogies the death, under the knife of the surgeons, of James Hogg, the well-known landscape gardener, says the New York Times.
 MT. Hogg had been suffering with cancer of the stomach, and 1t had become neces- sary to perform an operation, of which the surgeons predicted only one result-death. Acquainted with this fact, the editor wrote, set up and printed the aforesaid obituary on the day for which the opera tion had been set, and which happened to be the day on the evening of which the paper made its weekly appearance.
 Being a slow reader it took one of the good village folks nearly a week before he realized that Jim" Hogg was dead, and then, with a reminiscent lucky Jim," he sent the paper to the hospital where MT. Hogg was supposed to have breathed his last, marking the obituary with a pencil in order to call attention to 1t, for the spe- cial cheer and edifcation of the other sick folks in the hospital, who might have known James Hogg.
 Fortunately for himself, Mr Hogg was of a tough fiber, and, although the sur geons did their best, he refused to die, but mended rapidly. When the marked paper came to the hospital he was the first to get it. His death notice was the last thing he read. It moved him very much, for 1t was really very beautiful in style. Hogg, however being a Scotchman, cut it out without any undignified exhibition of feel

WHOLESOME ADVICE
For People Whose Stomachs Are Weak
 and Digestion Poor

Dr. Harlandson, whose opinion fa dis eases is worthy of attention, says when a man or woman comes to me complaining of indigestion, loss of appetite, sour stom- aeh, belching, sour watery rising, head l aches, sleeplessness, lack of ambition and a general run down nervous condition advise them to take after each meal one or two of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets, al- lowing the tablet to dissolve in the mouth, and thus mingle with the food eaten The result is that the food is speedily digested before it has time to sour and ferunent. These tablets will digest the food anyway whether the stomach wants to or not be- cause they contain harmless digestive principles, vegetable essences, pepsin and Golden Seal, which supply just what the weak stomach lacks
 l have advised the tablets with great success, both in curing indigestion and to build up the tissues increasing flesh in thin nervous patients, whose real trouble was dyspepsia and as soon as the stomach was put to rights they did not know what sickness was
 A fifty cent package of Stuart's Dyspep- sla Tablets can be bought at any drug store, and as they are not a secret atent medicine they can be used as often as de- sired With full assurance that they contain nothing harmful in the slightest degree: on the contrary, anyone whose stomach is at all deranged will find great benefit from the use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets They will cure any form of stomach weak ness or disease except cancer of the stomach.

TRANSPORTATION TO RURAL
SCHOOLS.

The Journal of Education gives in
formation as to the plan in vogue in
Iowa Tor the transportation OF rural
children to school. The last permits the
authorities of one township to contract
with those of another for the instruc-
ton of children who live an unreason-
able distance from their own school
where the saving of expense or increas-
ed advantage to the pupils may war
rant it arrangements may be made for
the transportation of any children to
and from the school. The plan is in
operation on the largest scale in Win.
nebago county. There 40 children are
conveyed from 21a to 51s miles, using
four teams, at a cost of $25 month,
Since the plan was put in operation the
county authorities have been able to
dispense with four schools, saving $4se
a year. The plan should be taken id
vantage of in more Iowa districts
There are now 233 school districts OF
sub-districts in this state where
schools are maintained for an aver,
age attendance of less than six pupils,
while in $500 the average attendance is
less than eleven. Such methods of in
struction are wasteful when time and
money could be saved by the transpor-
tation of pupils, and the larger classes,
graded schools, and better class OF
teachers that could be secured would
be of benefit to the pupils.

The record Of this century for wars
seems bound to be an unparalleled one.
Beginning with the ,Napoleonic wars
and the stormy time. that followed the
war cloud has been darkening the hor-
lion nearly all the time. The Crimean
war, the Prussian struggle, and
the American civil war stand out as
historical landmarks about the middle
part of the century while innumerable
struggles of less Importance fill in the
gaps. The closing decade has seen the
Spanish-American, the Chino-Ja Japanese,
and the Boer-British wars, all of them
slight compared with the great strug-
giles, but all bloody, and turning points
of history. Now the war cloud hangs
dark over China, and no one can fore
tell the outcome of the storm. So
much history has been made in the
nineteenth century that it will require
volumes to record it. And it may be
incidentally remarked that no small
part Of these volumes will be devoted
to telling of the progress of civiliza-
ition.

Mrs. Pauline Given Swain, one Of
the brightest women Iowa has ever
claimed as a, daughter, has recently
completed the compilation OF a souv-
enir OF her father, the late John Ham
iiton Given, one of the Oldest settlers
OF Des Moines, and one of it's well
known citizens. The memoirs, which
Mrs. Swain compiled in South Amer
lea, where she lives with her husband,
who is American consul, are in the
form Of a large portfolio, lettered in
gold on the outer page and dedicated
to John Hamilton Given, born in 1920,
and died in 1899. The first page of the
portfolio shows a telegram sent from
Des Moines to the daughter, convey
ing the news of her fathers death,
and near by the answering telegram
of the daughter to the other sorowing
relatives here. In other parts of the
portfolio are different significant mem
oirs, among them lock of white hair,
newspaper clippings of the death and
letters of sympathy written by South
American friends to the American
counsel and his wife.

talk about dividing the state ticket
between Gear and Cummins men,
That would be an acknowledgements of
the permanent division of the party
into Gear and Cummins factions, and
it would afford an inducement for am
bilious and self-seeking politicians to
keep up the division. The nomina-
tions for state offices should be made
with no regard whatever to the late
senatorial contest. Much of this Gear
Cummins talk comes from cheap poll
ticians who have no other stock in
trade but small politics and itching

Gen. Wheeler is again, after an inter-
val of thirty-nine years, an officer of
the United States army and a brigadier
general at that. He graduated at
West Point in 1859 and in 1861 resign

ry to enter the Confederate army. He
is the first man with that record to
be restored to the regular army, and
it is supposed that he will be placed
on the retired list very soon, for he
will be 81 years old next September.

< serious crime

oskaloosa Globe: Agreat many col
oTed people have called on County At
torney George w. Lafferty and express
ed their desire that the man who did
the shooting at Givin, as detailed last
week, be properly punished They can
we'll afford to feel this interest. The
shooting of Edgar was more than
merely the unfortunate outcome Of a
Sunday ball game and the usual "wet-
ting down. that goes with this sort of
thing. The crime is just the same as
tho Officer Pryor had been killed.
There is every evidence that the ball
was intended for his brain and not Ed
gar's. The crime Of not only resisting
hut the attempted numbering of an Of
icer approaches seriousness very close
w.. The death of Edgar is enough. The
evident purpose Of the murderer makes
matters even worse. There is a line
which must be drawn somewhere. The
guilty party must first be found. A
very practical way for the colored peo-
pie to attest their interest in seeing
justice done, would be for them to
make even an unusual effort to supple
ment the work of the sheriff in locat-
ing Fields, who is at present the prin-
cipal suspect.

AN absurd story was prinetd in SOM

An absurd story was prinetd in some
newspapers that Speaker Henderson
resented the Deliver boom on the
ground that it would not do for the
presiding officer at both ends of the
capitol to be taken from the same
state, and hence that Delivers cleo
ton as vice president would mean a
new speaker. Nothing could be fur
Their from the truth. Speaker Hender-
sons position is impregnable. His re-
election as speaker depends simply and
solely upon the republicans carrying
the house. He is an enthusiastic and
genuine supporter OF Dolliyer, and has
caused this fact to be made known in
a most positive manner.

Z A MILLION A DAY.

The people of the United States are
paying a $1,Ooo,O0o day for tropical
products used in manufacturing or
food and drink, and most of which are
produced in the islands which have
come into closer relationship with the
United States thru the events of the
past two years. The April Summary
of Commerce & Finance, which has just
been issued by the Treasury Bureau of
Statistics, shows that in the ten
months ending with April our imports
of tropical products have been over
$300,000,000 in value, thus averaging
fully million dollars day and in
dicating that for the full year they
will reach 1866 100000.

calls make up the share of this vast
sum which the manufacturers of the
