A WARTIME POEM.

the 6Sth Ohio, living at Seymour. ILL.,,
would like some comrade to send him the
poem which begins as follows:
Your letter came, but came too late,
For death had claimed its own"
The poem was the story of n soldier
who died in a Southern prison, and after

was answered by cOmrade of the de-

Albertus Freer, Mansfield, O.. would

which begins as follows:

But meath the roof the hours as they fly
Are happy and calm and bright"
l. A. Correll, New Philadelphia, o.,

the washes, douches, powders, and inhalers
in common use are very little, if any, bet
ter than the old-fashioned salt water
dOuche.
The use of inhalers and the application
of salves, washes, and powders to the
nose and throat to cure catarrh is no more
reasonable than to rub the back to cure
kidney disease. Catarrh is just as much
blood disease as kidney trouble or rheu-
matsm and it cannot be cured by local
treatment any more than they can be.
To cure catarrh, whether in the head,
throat, or stomach, an internal antiseptic
treatment is necessary to drive the ca
tarrhal poison out of the blood and sys-
TEN. and the new catarrh cure is designed
on this plan, and the remarkable success
of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is because, be-
ing used internally, it drives out catarrhal
infection through action upon stomach,
liver and bowels.
VIM. Zimmerman, of st. Joseph, relates
an experience with catarrh which is of
value to millions of catarrh sufferers ev-
erywhere. He says: Il neglected n
slight nasal catarrh until it gradually eX-
tended to my throat and bronchial tubes
and finally even my stomach and liver be-
came affected, but as | was able to keep
up and do a days work | let it run along
until my hearing began to fail me and then
| realized that | must get rid of catarrh
or lose my position, as | was Il clerk and
my hearing was absolutely necessary.
''Some Of my friends recommended an
inhaler, another catarrhal salve, but they
were no good in my case, nor was anything
else until | heard of Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets and bought a package at my drug
store. They benefited me from the start,
and in less than four months ] was com
pletely cured of catarrh, although / had
suffered nearly all my life from it.
They are pleasant to take and so much
more convenient TO use than other catarrh
remedies that | feel | cannot say enough
in favor of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets
A little book on cause and cure of ca
tarrh will be mailed free by addressing
f. A. Stuart Co, Marshall, Mich, and the
tablets are sold by all druggists in the
United States and Canada.

Canal Commission, the long-expected
proposition in behalf of his company for
the acquisition of all its rights by the
United States Government. The Panama
Company has been restrained up to this
moment from submitting a direct PROPOSE

which it holds from the Government of
Colombia, which prescribes forfeiture of
the concession as a penalty for the max

When Congress meets in December
Senator Foraker will introduce a bill to
pay Mrs. Mckinley a years salary, cr
$4,000, on her late husbands account.
This will be following a precedent es-
tablished in the case of Presidents Lin
coin and Garfield. Some friends in Con
gress desired to pay her the salary of
the unexpired term of President McKin-
ley, but it was decided to follow prece-
dent. especially as Mr.. Mckinley has
no children.

Mrs. Garfield a popular subscription was
also opened, and the handsome sum of

1O-NJGHT'S MEETING.

Harmonic hall will doubtless be filled this evening, and though there may not be entire harmony there, there will be some very interesting and plain talk. No defense of the action of the offend ing Police commissioners has been made and nobody expects any. The public Is practically asked the old question, What are you going to do about it? An attempt will be made at the meeting tonight to answer that question in way that will be convin- cling and remedial. New Haven is stirred to an unusual degree by the bold action of the commissioners, and is ready for an adequate plan of action. It is to be hoped that such plan can be formed at the meeting tonight and then thoroughly carried out. Where are we at? and where will we be at if such wrong as that which has been done is not formally rebuked and rem edind2

Some people are much impressed b, the length and cost of the Siberian rail- road. Henry Norman is so much i'm. pressed that he thus says: That Rus sia, single handed, should have con. ceived it and carried it out makes i'm. agination falter before her future innu- ence on the course of events" This sounds good at first, but there is wind in 1t, which is neatly let out by the Railroad Gazette, which shows MT Norman and all others interested what a really big country has done. For in- stance: The United States in the ten years beginning in 1sSo built 7S 400 miles of railroad, or more than fourteen times as much as the Siberian railroad. More than once in a single year we have built railroads twice the length of the Siberian, and we had not then half the population of Russia
 Of course. If imagination must fal- ter we are the folks to make her falter Look at our railroads, and look at the amount and prices of their stocks and bonds. Big, bigger, biggest.

The People of tie Dew.

If you can rokker Rominy and wish the Gipsy well, Come tramp the fern beside me, up hill and over fell I'll show you where the deadwort grows and witch bells cluster blue, And where the foXbells ring at night for People of the Dew. They're wayward folk and wandering folk and wastrel folk as we; They take their gear whene'er 1t comes, they love no walls to see; They milk the kye and snare the birds, the horse at grass unshoe, And Spae the stars like Romanies, the Peo- pie of the Dew. Like us, they come from far away; like us, must wander far. They're kin is Jack Lantern and every falling star. They're of the water and the wind and of the fixed earth, you; But naught can stay and naught aifray the People of the Dew. Whoever hears them singing will love no other song, Whoever sees them dancing must rise and tramp along And take the highway for his path winter and summer through, And follow, follow till he find the People of the Dew. They're hiding in the elder tree and in the bracken brown, And one of them will go i'll rags, one In a silken gown; But you may know them by their eyes that sorrow never knew; They've looked on life and looked past death, the People of the Dew.

AN ACCIDENT,

Occasionally law, justice and com mon sense come together and stay to- gether. They did so in the case of Car son against an accident insurance com pany which was recently decided by Judge McMasters of Indianapolis. Car son is supposed to have been bitten by bug, which, apparently for lack of better designation, was termed kiss ing bug" Apparently about all that Carson knew about the accident was that one night last summer while asleep in his own home he was awakened by a stingins sensation ill his face. On awakening he brushed from his face bug which, as was stated, made The bite caused large swelling, and was so painful that Carson remained away from work for q short time. Sub- sequently he demanded payment from the insurance company for lost time. The company refused payment, and he then sued. The judge decided that the bite of an insect which incapacitates a man from his work should be classed as any other accident, and he allowed Carson verdict of s30.2o.
 If a bite of kissing bug isn't an &C., ctdent to the one who gets il il would be to know what is.

CAKNEGlE'S LATEST.

Andrew Carnegie has been rather quiet and economical lately, but it now appears that he has only been saving up for a grand philanthropic splurge. about $1O000.0Oo for free education in the Universities of Edinburg, Glasgow, his gift is to Scotch education and for the use of Scotchmen alone, He ex- pressly stipulates that benaficiaries shall be his Scottish fellow country men, and that no English, Irish, Col onials or foreigners shall share in it's advantages.
 If this is a correct statement, MT. Carnegie is likely to be criticised by those who will think that what would be good for mankind ought not to be confined to Scotchmen. But it is to be remembered that MT. Carnegie's other magnificent gifts haven't had any race in them, and that educated Scotchmen are likely to do the world as much good as educated Englishmen, Irishmen or United States men. MT. Carnegie has emphasized the fact that he is scotchman and he has a right to be proud of it, as his Scottish fellow countrymen have right to be proud of the fact that the greatest giver in the world is a scotchman. But he will doubtless make it apparent again, as he has before, that he is not narrow minded in his heneficence
