SHAME. Mr.. MAyOR! !

A more contemplate utternce We
have seldom known or heard. II re.
veals the incOrrigible spokesman who
looks upon public office as Il private
snap, and would make his appointees

his own subservient tools and political
slaves.

Mr.. Fischer must watch every crook
or Mayor Harrlson's political finger
ana II he does not his bread and but
ter will be taken away from him.
what right, we would ask, has Mayor
Harrison to political convictions that
Mr. Fischer does not possess? They
are both American citizens, equally en-
Titled to express their opinions and act
upon them. They are both servants of
the city, with duties to the municipality
TAR greater than any duty they may owe
to party, and yet here Is one of them
threatening the other with deprivation
of public office because, fOrsoOth. he
has dared, like an 'honest man, to fol-
low his political convictions!
1t proves one thing beyond perad-
venture, and that Is that Carter Har-
rlsOn, instead of being honest in his
professions of civil service reform, as
he declared himself to be prior to each
of the two last mayOralty elections, is
at heart a rotten spokesman, intent on
using as far rs he can the OfficehOlders
under him for his own advancement.
We would like to call the attention of
Mr. Franklin Head and other we'll
known Republicans who supported Mr..
candidacy solely ON the
ground Of his Civil Service reform
pledges, to this present attitude Of their

What a contrast there is on this great
question between the Mayor Of Chicago
and the newly elected Mayor of New
York, or the President Of the United
States! They are incapable Of using
the Civil Service for their private bene-
fit.
In this case, too Mayor Harrison vir-
tually admits that Fischer Is qualified
for the place. for he says he kept him
there ''in the face of protests from the
ward" An honest Mayor which Mr..
Harrison boasts Of being. would not
keep an incompetent man as a public
servant after protest made against him.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mother and
grandmothers never thought Of
using anything else for indigestion
or biliousness. Doctors were scarce
and they seldom heard Of appeR-
dicitis, nervous prostration or heart
failure, etc. They used August
Flower to cleanse out the system
and stop fermentation of uadi-
gested food, regulate the action Of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action Of the system, and
that is all they took when feeling
dull and bad with headaches and
other aches: You only need a few
doses of Green's August Flower, in
liquid form, to make you satisfied
there is nothing serious the matter
with you. Get Green's Prize Alma,

A Cougar Story.


For some time past D. S. Ad-
ans and Wesley Newton have
been cutting wood out on the
Doc Jackson place about FIVE
miles north of this city. They
occupied rade "shaek" while
at work, and the Walters BROTH
res and Reuben Roberts occupied
cabin a short distance from the
one occupied.b by Messrs. Adams
and Newton. Recently Mr..
Newton quit work and left Mr..
Adams in undisputed authority
at the camp. Last Tuesday
evening, shortly after he had re-
tired for the night, something
struck the cabin with great VIC
leIce. The suddenness and
force of the shock, instantly
conjured up vast and unshapely
demons in Mr.. Adams inagina-
ton and took such a hold on his
entire nervous system that he
had not that reserve and dignity
of manner that usually charac-
terizes him as a man of nerve,
and in his terror he landed On
his feet yelling ''seat" at his best.
The animal, for such it was, took
its leave, and our fellow citizen
again sought his bed, but sleep
was a long time coming to him.
Itappears that MI. Adams had
been boiling some beef before
retiring that evening and it is
supposed that the odor of the
meat attracted the animal. The
next day, when Mr.. Adams re-
lated his experience to the boys
occupying the other cabin, they
informed him that about ego
--sAonday evening they had seen
an immense cougar within 80
yards of Mr.. Adams cabin.
The roof on which the animal
jumped was fully seven. feet from
the ground. It's claw marks
were found about the cabin.
This is perhaps as close as Mr..
Adams ever came to killing a
cougar.
