A Village Blacksmith Saved his little
Sons life,

Mr.. H. H. Black, the well-known village
blacksmith at Charlottesville. Sullivan Co., N
Y, says Our little son, five years old, has
always been sbject TO Group, and so bad
have the attacks been that we have fear
ed many times that he would die, We have
had the doctor and used many medi cines,
but Chamberlain Cough Remedy is now
our sole reliance. 1t seems to dissolve
the tough muscus and by giving frequent
doses when the croupy symptoms appear
we have found that the dreaded Group is
cured fore it gets settlel." There il no
danger in giving this remedy for it con-
tain no opium or other injurious drng
and may be given as confidentlyto babe
as to an adult. For sale by Johnson's Phar-
macy.
It seems that chairman Simmons
had walkover for Senator, Gen. J. S.
Carr not being very popular as can
ddate for Senator The friends of
Gen. Carr need not think any less of
him as man, but this was not his
time to get public office.

THE CRUSADE AGAINST Pr
PER SCHTTERERS.

PER SCATTERERS.
Carter Harrison in Saturday Eve'g Post.
There seems to be a somewhat
general impression that European
cities have solved this problem,
but such is not the case. Though
their bill boards are unquestion-
ably covered with matter of a sup
erior artistic standard, the boards
are almost as numerous as in the
larger cities of America.
The big signs painted on the ex-
posed walls Of large buildings are
almost as fragrant defacements as
are bill boards. and they are much
more difficult to remedy than the
latter. Practically speaking, they
cannot be touched through the 20
ice powers Of a city, and the arousal
of public sentiment is about the
only method by which they may
be effectively discouraged.
Another very common and
offensive Disagreement Of cities
arises from the wholesale scatter
ing of papers of all kinds. This may
be remedied by compelling the
people properly to separate their
garbage, instead Of throwing into
the box, along with food scraps and
other household refuse, paper that
will be lifted and blown about the
streets by the first high wind that
whistles down the alleys. In the
residence districts of Chicago this
reform has been so we'll enforced
through the police department that
it is certanly we'll establish
ed. Persons caught Wantonly scat
tering papers were taken into Gus
toby and brought to the police
station, despite the fact that they
were steady going citizens of high
character and standing. A few
examples of this kind exercised
most salulary influence.
Protruding stairways, and all
signs which obstruct the side
walks, are directly under the con
troll Of the city, and are permitted
through the influence which their
owners have with the aldermen
or members of the co uncil. When
public sentiment demands it, defa
cemeuls of this kind will speedily
vanish. These things come through
t l,+ uIdera,+n and may be abolisb,'
through the same agency.

Three Bites by n Shark.

]. Morris and Loren Hill relate a Pc
culiar experience with a tarpon and an
immense shark near Punta Gorda.
While they were playing a large tarpon
a shark came up and bit a half moon
Weighing about ten pounds out Of the
tarpon's belly. This killed the tarpon.
but before it could be gated and pull
ed in the shark took out another half
moon a size larger. AS they Were
hauling the tarpon aboard the shark
bit off the tail. equaling one-third the
length and about one-fourth the weight
Of the fish. The part that was left over
weighed 164 pounds. They beat the
shark over the head with the bars.
The fish would have been a record
breaker and would have weighed about
900 pounds. The scales were preserv.
ed and measured SO by AZ inches.

Coroners inquests are well known

differences between their system AMI

There are few things more absurd
than the code of rules laid down foi
the Chinese coroner. In the first place
he is hidden to make sure that he has
a dead body before he begins his IN
quest. That, however, is less ridicu

view of extorting money from some

been poisoned, rice Is put into his mouth
