Admiral Schley went to sea with his
Flying Squadron, found the Spanish
fleet and destroyed it without the loss
of single ship But he did not per-
form this mastery achievement in a
manner pleasing to the little men on
the Board of Enquiry. These two lit
tie men, who were never heard of be-
fore they were called by the navy cabal
to sit in judgment upon Admiral
Schley, are SO small that it is not at all
probable that their views will have
much influence upon public opinion.
Admiral Dewey, who fully understands
the duties and responsibilities of a ma
val commander, found nothing to criti-
else in Admiral Schley's management
or conduct. On the contrary he eulo
gizes him and says that he was In com
mand of the fleet during the battle and
entitled to the glory of the victory,
Admiral Dewey's findings ale fully SUP
ported by the evidence. They will
be generally adopted by the public, and
the president or congress will be very
apt to indulge in house cleaning in the
navy department.

they CRUSH The POWERS

This is written in mid-October. The long,
oppressive summer is quite gone. Fading
leaf, whitening tree and the rustling corn in
the fields are signs of the season. Fog,
frost, rain, snow,-they are coming. You
remember last winter; of 1900 and 1901.
The weather was cruel. All! the thous-
ands it killed, and the hundreds of thous-
ands it manned and crippled. Oh, the
rough grasp it laid on men at work, women
at home, and children in cribs and cradles.
Coughs that began before Thanksgiving
Day are racking and tearing them still; yes,
and growing worse as they dig deeper into
the poor, tired throat and lungs. Many
were cured by using Benson's Porous Plas-
tiers. For the soothing and healing power
of these Plasters is wonderful. They con-
,rar tho onmp1o;,{s

Christmas Tide.

Again we are nearing the season OF
good will, the Christmas tide when all an
imosities should be'forgotten. Life isnot
long enough to make it profitable to
cherish ill will toward anyone. Whatif
some one has betrayed you, and piaye
you false, IS it not best to let it pass? liz
a few short years it will make no differ
ence. Why let the misconduct of Others
deprive you of smile, or the satisfaction
of feeling kindly toward all mankind!

Who is Howard Fletcher?

(From the Clinton Herald.)
The idea of panning off Howard
Fletcher as democrat ana keeping
him on the board of pharmacy commits,
sioners is joke on the democrats of
the state. Howard has been republic
can boomer for years, when he was not
lying stretched out on cot in his office.
AS commissioner his duties are light,
and as lover of the shade he is q sue
cess. But if the democrats are to have
place on the board, let them select q
genuine democrat, not q republican po-
litical henchman.

THAT ARE KILLING THE PEOPLE.

No other plaster, no other medicine or ap-
plication, can compare with them. Coughs,
colds, backache, rheumatism, lumbago,
kidney and liver troubles, asthma, linflu-
enza,-they all go down before Benson's
Plasters like q snow image in the sun.
Youcan't throw money away on a Benson's
Plaster. Everybody is going to use them
this season. But make certain you get the
genuine. All druggists, or we will prepay
postage on any number ordered in the
United States on receipt of 25c. each.
