A Dishonest Missionary.

All sorts of stories, many we fear
not truthful, are told on the mission
aries, exposing the guile they practice
on the unsuspecting savage tribes to
whom they are sent to convert
to Christianity and belief in VIRGIN
born God. Here is an account of a
shameful deception practiced on a
hungry cannibal chief, by one who
was captured for roast. The mis-.
sionary was old and thin, SAYS the
narrative, and looked anything but
toothsome. As he saw the prepars.

1t is very hard to stand idly by
and see our dear ones suffer while
awaiting the arrival of the doctor.
An Albany On. Y.) dairyman called
at drug store there for doctor to
come and see his child, then very
sick with Group. Not finding the
doctor in, he left word for him to
come at once on his return. He also
bought bottle of Chamberlain S
Cough Remedy, which he hoped
would give some relief until the
doctor should arrive. In a few
hours he returned, saying the doctor
need not come, as the child was
much better. The druggist, Mr..
Otto Scholz, says this has since re-
commended Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has a constant de-
mand for it from that part of the
country. For sale by R. w. SMITH.

boned. With this announcement
the captive was set free.
When safe among his friends the
fraud told of his own vileness. He
has false leg, and the choice piece
of missionary steak he had sliced as
specimen, was only rubber.
Is it possible Missionary societies

good square meal? We trust not.

Academy Notes.

The spirit of friendly rivalry be-
tween the two literary societies has
given an added impetus to the work
of the students, resulting in much
better program by the members of
the Websterian, than was given two
weeks ago by this society.
Last Saturday anyone passing
along the road leading from town to
the Academy, might have seen a
sight which would have done his
heart good. There were about a
dozen Academy boys, in company
with DIR. Foster, having good time,
working vigorously in the mud,
through rain and shine, laying side
walk on the west side of the road
from the corner near Mr.. Ayres' to
the Academy. This was made pos
slble by the action of the city coun-
Gil In granting some of the old side
walk about town, to the Academy.
Both the action of the council and
the boys are highly commendable.

from Marshall, Field & Company,

Public School Notes.

A representative of the Signal
visited several of the departments of
the school last Friday and found the
work in each one progressing very
satisfactorily. In Prof Thompson 8
room he had the pleasure of listening
to two debates, one of them being
extemporaneous The participants
did splendidly. The program con-
tanned other entertaining features.
In Miss Schneider's room he had
the pleasure of looking over some
essays on the life of Washington,
which were read at the exercises held
in honor of the great statesman on
the anniversary of his birth. They
were especially interesting and very
neatly gotten up, being fastened with
appropriate ribbons, red, white and
blue. The little folks deserve much
praise for their good work. In Mrs.
Bentley's room examinations were
being held and the udents we're
hard at work The students in Prof
Foresman's department held very
enthusiastic debate In this depart
ment there are some exceptionally
good parliamentarians and they do
some very creditsble work.
Several people visited the school
last Friday.

A movement is on foot bv some Of
the ladies of our village, 70 organize
for the purpose Of bringing about
some public improvements. The
one spoken Of is to bring gi1about .
moro neat and tidy condition Of tho
entire village, such as having tho
streets kept cleaned UP and free
from rubish, also to require the cut
ting down Of weeds that grow in
abundance and in some instances
resemble a forest. S. ss.:...
This is an admirable idea and the
movement should be encouraged un-
til its object is accomplished, and
when it done, the results would at
tract the attention of everyone, es-
pecially visitors, not only this It
would Increase the citizens interest
in maintaining the most tidy oondi-
tin possible that the such might
call for the admiration of all people
passing through here. .<...,

that he was elected to serve the

He is a man Of the common peo-
pie, never considering it beneath
his dignity to come in touch with
them, and is not 80 constituted
that any gift of Office would ele-
vate him above their associations,
that he would be out of hearing
when sought to interest himself

might be, but at the same time
possesses intelligence and charac-
ter that would enable him to oc-
cupy position aud rank with any
of the most prominent men of the
land of the present day or those
to follow after him in his age. In
short he is a just anu proper man
to represent the second district
with credit to the district and
honor to himself in congress with
out fear of disappointment.
