Childrens' Day.

The services at Owen church, the
program of which was published last
week, were carefully carried out in
the presence of an audience which
filled the church and left standing
contingent outside.
1t was unquestionably the best
program of the kind ever present
ed here, and Miss Gustafson and as
sistants may safely congratulate
themselves on appreciation of their
efforts.
The tableau numbers were excel
lently sustained, and the singing by
the choir and children was Of more
than ordinary excellence. Miss An
ME Scott sang with her usual good
taste and expression. The gem of
the evening was "Jesus, my Cross
have taken," in which Miss Scott
sang the soprano and Miss Louise
Hill the alto parts supported by an
effective chorus.
Miss Thula Martin recited a some-
what lengthy poem "Little VIII"
carefully.
The enjoyment of the services was
much augmented by the improve
ments made in the church, and the
carpeting of the platform which is a
credit to Rev. J. D. Dame and his
willing workers.
Although the night was hot the
large audience was interested until
the last word had been spoken about
ten o'clock.

Great CONSERVATION was felt by the
friends of M. A. Hogarty of Lexington,
KY, when they saw he was turning yel-

His malady was Yellow Jaundice. He
was treated by the best doctors, but
without benefit. Then he was advised
to try Electric Bitters, the wonderful

writes: "After taking two bottles

Il o'streettRMmgard sun-a t. h
Il was gladIo read Admiral Dewey's
dissenting opinion. said Colonel
Bryan. On the two essential points
of the inquiry Sehley was vindicated.
lhe first essential point was the
charge OF cowardlce. which was the
most abusive of the accusations
Admiral Dewey, the conspicuous
hero OF the naval board gave him full
credit for the victory OF Santiago. The
question as to who was the hero of
santiago was the second essentia,
point involved, While Admiral Dewey
gives Schley the full benefit for the
victory, the other members of the
board are silent, | think that SchIey's 8
friends have cause to feel satisfied with
the verdict.
whether Schlcy was active enough
( and whether he displayed sufficient
caution are entirely matters of opjn-
ION The majority finding on these
points has only the weight that should
be given to the opinions of the indtvid-
haim embers Of the board who signed
the majority report The finding
however. places Schiey in history as
