tary branches of learning required by
law to be taught in the public schools, or
if the physical or mental condition of
sIch child is such as to render such atten-
dance inexpedient

Darr-Nerrick Contest.

The House Committee on Elections met
Tuesday mcrling in the library, and a
motion was made by Mr.. Wolfe, of Howard
county, to revive the Darr Merric.l elec-
ton contest case.
Rumors that some such move wou'd lie
made have been curl ent about the State
House for some days. Several weeks ago
the House, it will be remembered referred
the entire report or the Elections Com
mittee back to that committee. The re-
port was in favor of seating Mr.. Charles
W. Darr, Democrat, in the place of Mr..
George B. Merrick, Republican, returned
elected Mr.. Wolfinger, of Washington
county, presented strong minority re-
port, and the sentiment in the House was
ove' whelmingly in favor of sustaining
his report. The referring back Of the
matter to the committee was regarded as
settling the matter, and MIR. M"rrick has
rested securely in his seat Sine.
Mr. Wolfe, who made the motion to
take the case up again, cast the only vote
in favor of this action.

There is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local treat
ment pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and therefore, requires constitu-
tional treatment Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure on the market. 1t is taken internal
" in doses from 10 drops to a teaspOonful.
1t acts directly on the blood and mucous
