DECORATION DAY.

Last year was the first organ
lied attempt to celebrate Deco
ration Day in this city. 1t was
a success and at the end of the
day those who had remembered
their comrads and friends who
had answered the last roll call
and gone before, felt all the
better for it. Decoration Day
for 1900 is May 30. If the G..
A. r. and Confederates will
only take the lead in the matter
this year as last, the quiet city
of the dead Will be a bower of
beauty, the hearts of the living
drawn closer together and the
affections of man will leap
backward DER the past years
and teach him to say: "Thy
will be done"

INDICTED FIRST DEGREE.

Most of the citizens will re-
member the arrest of Fanny
Taylor and her daughter Ethel
last February. They were
charged with the making away
with or the death of Ethel's in
faut. They were bound over to
appear before the Grand Jury
and in default of bond were sent
to the Paris Jail. The jury
found a true bill against them
and they were indicted for mur
der in the first degree. The
news of the Indictment made
quite stir in colored circles in
this city. The supposition is
the infant was first smothered
and then the body was burned
as no traces of the corpse could
be found. One thing was self
evident it was not buried as
they claimed for the remains
could not be found where the
mother and grand mother said
they were.

RIISTED RRONCHO.

There was lots of eXitement
and fun on the streets Saturday
afternoon. Will Cranston had a
handsome pony that tried to
buck an empty saddle off it's
back. Spence Taylor(coDtook
the contract to ride it for dol
lar. When Spence leaped int o
the saddle the poAy"bucked'to
a.far.you-well, for two straight
blocks, then down Vine Street
and out of sight. In fact it
bucked great handfuls of hair
off of itself. Ten minuets later
Spence returned with the pony
"busted. THE reins was on the
pony's neck and Spence's hands
on his thighs as.thouhgh he was
riding dray horse. Several

THE SMALLPOX.
THERE ARE NOW FOUR CASES IN THIS
CITY.
1t was Imported by Our own People from
Shelby County, and is in
Very Mild Form.

There was considerable eX-
citement on the streets for a
short while Monday. On the
wings of gossip and exagera-
tion the report The Whitecot-
tons have the small pox, flew
from block to block and house
to house. We are told that d
portion of the r. H. Hagar fam
lily had been visiting in Shelby
County where it is thought they
contracted the disease. The
ones affected are Miss Matte
and her brothers Ollie and
James, children of Mr.. and
Mrs. Benz. Whitecotton. The
Whitecotton home and the home
of their aunts, Mesdames Thorn
as Hawkins and r. H. Hagar
were Immediately quarantined
and it is hoped that the author
tiles will be able to confine and
stamp the disease out.
In the form that the disease
has assumed it is not to be fear
ed any way. 1t seems to be
scattered north, south, east and
west of the city through the ag-
ricultural districts, therefore a
farmer runs no more risk in
coming to the city to attend to
business than he does to stay on
his farm, send his children to
the district school or for him
and his family to attend Sun
day School or to go to meeting.
Hunnewell and Palmyra have
been strictly in the swim but
have very wisely notpermitted it
to interfere with their business
affairs. 1t has neither been as
offensive or fatal as good dose
of the itch.
At 10 a. m. Tuesday the
Board of Health and the resi-
dent physicians met at the
office of Drs. Brown & Ely for
consultation and to devise a
way to stamp out the disease
They concluded to divide the
city into ten districts each dis.
trict to be allotted TO a single
physician who is member OF
the Investigating and Vaccinat,
ing Committee. In that,manne r
they believe that unless some
one wilfully places themselves
in contact withthe disease ther {
will be no new cases, except in
immediate families of those now
affected.
The Mayor then issued d
proclamation ordering all
church services and public gath
ering to cease until further no
tiCe.
OF course that will be a great
. disappointment to the nine
graduates. For they had nre-
pared an excellent program tor
the entertainment of the pat
rons of the High School.
: There was one new case yes
5 terday. Miss Lena Wunch. The
: residence was Immediately
: quarantined and all necessary
: precautions taken. The excite
: ment :has about died out and
/ the commercial and business
wheels of the city roll on as
though there had mot been a
ripple on the surface.

NATURALIZATION
ADOPTED BY REPUBLICAN CON-
VENTION AT PHILADELPHIA.
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
Declaration of Facts and Principles Of
fered for the Consideration Of the
American People-Full Text of the
Document-Clear Stand Taken on
Every Important Question.

Following is the full text of the ma
tional republican platform adopted by
the Philadelphia convention yesterday
afternoon:
The republicans of the United States,
through their chosen representatives,
in national convention, looking back
upon an unsurpassed record of achieve
ment, and looking forward into a great
pealing to the judgment of their coun-
trymen, make these declarations:
The expectation in which the Ameri-
can people, turning from the democratic
party, entrusted power four years ago
to a republican chief magistrate and a
republican congress, has been met and
satisfied. When the people then as
sembled at the polls after a term of
democratic legislation and administra-
ton, business was dead, industry par
alyZed and the national credit disas-
trously impaired. The country's capt.
tai was hidden away and its labor dis
tressed and unemployed. The demo-
Gratis had no other plan with which
to improve the ruinous conditions
which they had themselves produced
than to coin silver at the ratio of 16 to
l. The republican party, de~nouncing
eve worse than those from which re-
lief was sought, promised to restore
prosperity by means of two legislative
measures-a protective tariff and a law
making gold the standard of value. The
people by great majorities issued to the
republican party a commission to en-
act these laws. This commission has
been executed and the republican prom
Use is redeemed. Prosperity more gen.
sral and more abundant than we have
W. known has followed these enact
ments. There is no longer any contro-
versy as to the value of any govern
ments obligations. Every American
dollar is a gold dollar or its assured
equivalent, and American credit stands
higher than that of any nation. Capt.
tai is fully employed and everywhere
labor is profitably occupied.
No single fact can more strikingly
tell the story of what republican gov
eminent means to the country than
this-that while during the whole per-
iod of 107 years, from 1871 to 1897, there

parts Of the world, for the last ten
years l have met with more people

than any other remedy, for dyspepsia,

constipation. l find for tourists and
statesmen, or for persons filling office
positions, where headaches and general
bad feeling from irregular habits exist,
that Green's August Flower is a grand
remedy. 1t does not injure the system

Isaac w. Brown of Rochester, N. Y.
addressed the Audubon society recent
ly at its meeting at the Commercial
club on Birds and Bees. The address
was one of a series which has been
planned by the society for the fur
therance of its object, fostering and
protecting birds, bees and trees. Mr..
Brown contended that poor crops OF
farmers and gardeners are in a great
measure due to the destruction of the
birds and bees, which. if allowed to
live nnmolested and with proper pro-
lection, would make their entire liv-
ing off the worms and insects that
do so great damage to growing crops
He cited instances where there had
been great increase in crops on ac-
count of the protection thus afforded.
and said that a hunter was endanger-
ing his personal safety to attempt to
go on some of the farms to shoot quail
and other birds. He favored the
building of hives for the
dation of the bumblebees, which he
claimed would greatly increase the
yield of elover.-IndianapoliS Journal.

Pacific, every American interest has
been s~afeguarded.
We approve the annexation Of the
Hawaiian islands to the United States,
We commend the part taken by our
government in the peace conference al
The Hague. We assert our steadfast
adherence to the policy announced in
the Monroe doctrine. The provisions OF
The Hague convention were wisely re-
gaiLCI when President Mckinley tend
cl'd his friendly offices in the interest
Of peace between Great Britain and the
South African republics. While the
American government must continue
the policy prescribed by Washington,
affirmed by every succeeding president
AID imposed upon us by The Hague
treaty, of non-intervention in Euro
pcau controversies, the American peu-
pie earnestly hope that a way may 500
be found honorable alike to both con-
tending parties, to terminate the strife
between them.
In accepting by the treaty Of Paris
the just responsibility of our victories
in the Spanish war, the president and
the senate won the undoubted approval
Of the American people. No ether
course a possible than to destroy
SPANS sovereignty throughout the
West Indies and in the Philippine ISL
ands. That course created our respOn-
sibility before the world and with the
u~norganized population whom our in
tcryenLion had freed from Spain, To
government and for the performance of
International obligations. Our author
ity could lot be less than our respOn-
and wherever sovereign rights
were extended 1t became the high duty
Of the goyerumnt to maintain its au-
thOrity, to put down armed insurrec-
ton and to confer the blessings of lib
erty and civilization upon all the res
cued peoples. The largest measure Of
self-gOvernment consistent with their
welfare and our duties shall be Sc
cured to them by law. To Cuba, indie
)endence and self-government we're as
in the same voice by which war
was declared, and to the letter this
pledge shall be performed.
The republican party, upon its his
tory and upon this declaration Of its
principles and policies, confidently in
vokes the considerable and approving
Judgment of the American people.

IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC DLSCOV,
cry.
a Clinical Preparation That Positively
Kills the Dandruff Germ.

A most important discovery has been
made after a years patient labora-
tory work aimed in a certain direction
1t is Newbro's Herpicide, a prepara-
ton that cures badness, prevents fall
ing hair, and speedily and permanent
ly er%adiCates dandruff. These evils are
caused by a germ or parasite that bur-
rows into the scalp, throwing up dan
druff, as it seeks to sap the life of the
hair at the root. There's no badness
without falling or thin hair, no thin
hair without dandruff, and no dandruff
if the germ is destroyed. Newbro's
Herpicide is the only preparation that
will do the work. Destroy the cause,
you remove the effect"
