 Suicide is becoming quite a fad of late, poison, pistols, shot-guns, ropes, water, coal oil, Illuminating gas and other modes of escape from the "slings and arrows of outrageous fortune" are yieing with each other for popularity. In behalf of this habit 1t may be said that 1t is better that a fool kill himself than that he destroy some more valuable life.
 There is a furore of excitement in public school near Evansville, Ind, because q little orphan girl, aged ten, who is charged with hay ing negro blood, is allowed to att tend. Every child has been stop ped from the school on account of it, and trouble is brewing in the air. The matron of the school claims that the little girl in ques- tion is the offspring of French parents, and that no negro blood flows in her veins.
 What is 8 home without newspaper!o has been asked again. To the best of our know ledge 1t is a place where old rags are stuck in the windows, cats sleep in the four barrel, chickens and goslings parade the floor; the wife chops the " ood, milks the COWS, blows the corn, goes to mill and does hundreds of other things, while the husband loafs on the street corners, whittles on goods boxes, cries hard times till q late hour, when he gets off his perch, sneaks home with the gable end of his trousers ripped, and raises cane with his wife because his ancestors were not millionaires. -Ex.
 There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all ether diseases put together, and until the last few years was sup posed to be incurabIe. For d great many years doctors pro nounced 1t Il local disease, and prescribed local medicines, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t in- durable. Science has proven ca tarh to be d constitutional disease, and therefore requires constltuti- onal treatment. Halls Catarl h Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co.,, Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internal ly in doses from 1C drops to Il teaspoonful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hund- red dollars fer any case 1t fails to cure. Send for circulars and test imonials. Address, F. J. Cheney & Co.,.

Beware of the Knife.

No profession has advanced more rapidly of late than surgery, but it should not be used except where absolutely necessary. In cases ot piles, for example. it is seldom needed. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve cures quickly and per- mmently. Unequaled for cuts, burns, bruises, wounds, skin dis- eases. Accept no counterfeits. ''I was 50 troubled with t,leding piles hat 1 lost much blood and stlen- gth says J.C. Phillips, Paris, Ill. De- Witt's Witch Hazel Salye cured me in short time." Soothes and heals. J. 1. Sturdivant.

Concert Given at N. E. Church.

Space forbids detailed review of the con.
cert given at the NJ. f. church last evening
under the auspices of one of the divisions OF
the Ladies' snciety of workers of that church
betting its musical value.
The program was a treat in itself, rare in te
composition, and delightful in it's contrasts
Every number throughout the program was en-
corcd, the audience during the entire evening
showing itself very appreciative. The selection
from Tannhauser rendered by four female and
two male voices was from enc of Wagner's most
pleasing creations and was thoroughly salts
factory Performance. The Treble Clef inter.
prcted sullivan Bartlett and Dudley Buck with
poetic insight and depth of feeling and al
most outdid Themselves in tie selections which
were full of broad contrasts, with skillful sur
prises and treatment, yet tender at times with
joyous abandon.

his friends and performed the difficult task of

the choral numbers and several of tho soloists,
gave two piano selections. magnifcently inter-
preting Wollenhaup's Whispering Winds"
Miss Owens is a player of intense dramatic
power, with sympathetic qualities, which makes
tier an almost ideal interpreter. She possesses
strong magnetism and individuality.
Miss Ada jackson of Blair, Neb., came upon
the platform amidst storm of applause.
Everyone il acquainted with Miss Jacksons
delicate phrasing and other tech nical points
but her playing is such intellectual insight that
attention is drawn away from detail. Her
technic is used simply to produce effects and
these effects are 80 impressive that sight is lost
Of everything else, thought and soul are there
SO finger skill is almost forgotten.
The piece de remittance of the musical feast
Was the duet rendered by Mrs. Hills and Mrs.
Mckay, delightful selection from Bailey,
strong in its picturesque qualities, full of trils
and runs and delicate phrasings. The fine
voices of the singers blending in psrfect har-
mony, every shade OF meaning was as accurately
expressed as if depicted upon canvass.
Miss Cora Schwartz proved veritable song
bird. Her voice is a rich, full soprano, replete
with sweetness of tone. 1t is Of equal calibre
throughout and the judicious training it hes
received is clearly apparent.
Miss Filth Foley of Blair Neb., IS lyric
soprano. Her voice is perfect in tone, beauti-
full in quality, resonant and flexible. Her sing
ing is full of sentiment and charming style.
The selections given by her last evening were
much appreciated.
The receipts of the concert will be applied to
the woman's department of the church funds.

CHICAGO, May Proxies for
the Chicago & North Western an
nual meeting to be held here June
5, are at big premium today. A
battle royal is being waged for
their possession, the contesting
parties being those now in control
of the property on the one side
and the Observation-Disclosures in
terests on the other. Books for
the transfer of stock for the an
nual meeting closed last week, so
that purchase of stock in the open
market cannot be made available
unless they carry proxies with
them, and efforts are being made
to secure the proxies without
reference to purchases.
Those now in control of the pro.
perty have awakened to the fact
that q big coup has been planned
to be accomplished at the annual
meeting, and they are now putting
forth their most strenuous efforts
to prevent it. When the books
closed last week they thought
they were safe, but they have
since been convinced by indisput-
able evidence that they are by no
means out of the woods. Large
holders of shares are being i'm
portuned by both sides to the con-
test for their proxies, and valuable
considerations are being offered
for them, with large number of
stockholders refusing to surrender
their rights to either side at this
stage of the proceedings.
