Protect Reformers.

The British consul at Shanghai re
fused to consent to surrender the Chi
nese editor and his staff who are wanted
by the Chinese authorities for the pur-
pose Of Furnishing them.
1t required the unanimous consent OF
the foreign consuls and the representa-
tive Of Great Britain was instructed to
vote against surrendering the men. 1t
is not clear where the American consul
sto I'd, but the people OF this country
will be pleased il it is shown that he
also opposed surrender.
To give these men up would have been
to surrender them to death and the
method Of inaictipg death upon re-
former short time ago is sufficient
evidence Of cruelty to make civilized
people revolt against even indirect aid
in such a matter.

Z to it but the braying.

In a speech at a conference of
Democrats in Ohio few days ago,
Bryan said the trouble in the Dem
ocratic party began in 1892" when
bunco steerer led the party into
the netof Wall street" He declar-
ed that the exploit can not be re-
peated, nor can those "who have
not been loyal resume leadership
until after they are at least repen-
tant" There will be a grand and
rociferous time next year when
the two leading kinds of Demo-
Gratis try to meet in one hall.

The influence OF th dowager empress
is still potent, for she is thegreat oppon-
ent OF reform methods and the int roduc-
ton of western ideas. She may pretend
upon occasions to be willing to see the
introduction of western ideas. but at
heart she hates foreigners and would
check the growth Of reform methods.
The hope of China is the men who
have sufficient courage to advocate re-
form even at the risk OF death and all
foreigners should exert their influence
for the protection against wrong and
injustice. especially when it takes the
form of cruel and unusual punishment.

A WORD TO FARM TOILERS.
PAINE'S CELERY
COMPOUND
The Home Friend of the
Farmer and His Family.

After the lal,on aud tolls oi the summer time,
and harvesting Of crops In the early autumn.
many of our farmer, their wives, da1ghier,
and sons, find themselves In a condition oi
health demanding careful attention II suffering
Is To lie avoided later on. Many experience
kidney trouble In some form; with some the
liver Is torpid. there Is biliousnesS, nausea, and
vomiting, with loss Of appetite and depression
Of spirits. Thousands who have been exposed
10 cold. damp winds and rains while toiling in
the harvest fields. now feel the iwinpes Of
terrible rheuniaiiSnI Others run down by
worry. ovcrwork, and irregular dieting, arc
tomenied with the pangs oi dyspepsia.
To the thousands al nun down, sickIy, and
halt dead men and women In farm homes we
recommend with all honesty and confidence
the workers friend. Tsine's Celery Compound,
the only medicine that can quickly and fully
restore strength TO the weak body and vieor 10
the muscles. Psine's Celery Compound tones
the s,omaehi Il removes poisonous acids from
the blood which Cause rheumatism, II feeds
the weak and diseased nerves and banishes
neuralgia tonures; Il puri6es the blood and
gives true vitality and lille. The use oi Paine's
Celery Compound In autumn means the sstsb-
fishing OF perfect physical vigor to Withstand
the ngors OF a severe winter.

We are steadily yet rapidly ap-
proa ching the close Of school. A
few more weeks now and another
school year will be gone. Pupils
should zealously put forth every
effort to make the remaining days
the best OF the entire year.
II there are any parents who
have the idea that the last few
weeks do not amount TO much, let
me say that you have a very er-
roneous idea, and that the last OF
school is fully as important as any
other. We haAe eight months Of
school, not seven and half or
seven and three fourths. We do
regular and heavy work up to the
last day Of school.
We are glad that only few arc
dropping out as the spring work
begins, and that the farmers are
keeping their boys in school. Ev-
identity they realize that educating
their boys is moro important than
raising oats or corn.
Farmers and others q, well are
beginning to understand that an
education is of more value to boy
or girl than anything else tney can
give or leave them.
As we review the work of the
seven months we are very much
gratified to note the splendid ad-
vancement the pupils have made.
The people Of the surrounding
community are also beginning to
realize the superiority Of our school
to the district schools. The nom
resident attendance In our Gram
mer School this Is greater than ev-
or before.
The seventh grade teacher has
four pupils from the district in
which he taught four years ago.
These four pupils constituted a
claas then and are still keeping
together. They are good students
and their attending our school
speakes well Tor the educational
interest in their community.
Can any other district send us a
whole Gloss next year to get the

II Is very gratifying to see this

and speaks well for those patrons.
We are very glad to see these
young people dcvoting their time
to getting an education. They
could spend their time In no more
profitable manner and II they con-
tinue they will surely reap their
reward.
We will probably have u few
