Abscess.

". H. Harrison, Cleveland, Miss,
writes, Aug. Is, 1902: 81 want to
say a word of praise for Ballard's
Snow Liniment. I stepped on nail,
which caused the cords in my leg to
contract and sn abscess to rise in my
knee, and the doctor told me that I
would have stiff leg, so one day I
went to J. F. Lords drug store (who
is now in Denver, Colo.) He recon-
mended bottle of Snow Liniment;
I got a SOC size, and it cured my leg.
It is the best liDiment in the world.

Emergency Medicines.

It is great convenience to have at
hand reliable remedies for use in
cases of accident and for slight in
juries and ailments. A good liniment
and one that is fast becoming favor
ite if not a household necessity is
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. By apply
ing it promptly to a cut, bruise or
burn it allays the pain and causes the
injury to heal in about one-third
the time usually reqired, and as
it is an antiseptic it prevents any
danger of blood poisoning. When
Pain Balm is kept at hand sprain
may be treated before Inflammation
sets in, which insures a quick re-

Our Consul Murdered!

Washington, August27 The State
Department has a telegram from
Minister Leischman, at Constantine
pie, announcing that VIM. G. Masel-
sen, United States vice consul at
Beirut, Syria, was assaesinated today
while riding in carriage. The min
lister Immediately brought the crime
to the attention of the government
and demanded action by Turkey.
Acting Secretary Lomis today ca
bled Minister Leischman to demand
the immediate arrest and punishment
of the guilty persons.
Vice Consul Magelson was appoint
ed from Minnesota.
Admiral Watson, commander of the
European squadron, has been cabled
by the lazy department to proceed
Immediately to Turkish waters, with
his decks cleared for action, to en-
force the demands of the United
States government. Uncle Sans
dander is now up and he'll knock
those Turks out OF sight.
The alleged assassination of the
consul has since been denied. He
was shot at while returning from a
game of base ball, of which he was
an interested spectator, but fortu-
natel;, was not hit by the ball.

DISTINGUISHED Guests.

United Senator Benjamin R. Till
man, accompanied by Mrs. Tillman
and the Misses Hill and Furnum
passed through the city Tuesday eve
ming en- route to Chicago from Pike
Lake where they have been the guest
of the Hon. and Mrs. Rublee A. Cole.
A reporter of the Times met the
Senator and party as a represen-
tative of the only Democratic news
paper in the county, and found the
entire party in excellent spirits and
very enthusiastic in their praises of
Price county and the hospitality of
it's citizens and all expressed theirre-
grets in not being able to extend
their visit for another week or 80.
When asked what opinion he had
formed of Price county, the Senator
said he was most agreeably surprised
and while heretofore he had an erron-
eous idea of the Great North Country,
having trayeled through it once many
years ago when it was vast forest,
he now unhesitatingly predicts that
in a few years Price county would be
a thickly populated and prosperous
agricultural community; that he be-
lieved it to be the coming stock rails
ing country and would soon excel
any section of the country for fine
stock raising, excepting, of course,
the Blue grass region of Kentucky;
that the clover and grasses seem to
be indigenous to the soil as we'll as
the various root crops and that in a
few years more Price county mis- ght
become great sugar beat growing
country as he understood that the
citizens were already experimenting
with sugar beet raising with great
success and saw no reason why we
should not equal if not exec. Michigan
which has been raising sugar beets
with magnificent results for many
years.
The reporter did not try to inter
view the Senator On politics leaving
that for other representatives Of the
press of the country. The Senator,
however, discussed thenegro problem
from his stand point with great frank
ness and sincerity and undoubtedly
to the regret of those who under
took to take issues with him on the
question.
When asked as to his plans the
Senator said he would 60 from Chi
cago to St. Joe, Missouri where he

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications, as they can
not reach the deceased portion of the

have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely

less the Inflammation can be taken

ceurtship Of si Hodges.

Lots OF people down on the creek
said that ST Hodges would never
marry, cause he wsz' so bashful.
There never waz boy in the ssettle-
ment as bashful as Si.
After while hit begun to be sore
to Si, and be naturally resented the
Aings on his courage, so, at the age
of SO years, he decided to git mar
ried, or die, or do something wuss.
So Si sot down an studied over the
matter, and sized up the gals of his
acquaintances, and arter making a
list, ne diked up one evening an sal
lied forth.
ST made up his mind TO git mar
ried. He had a good farm, mules,
and fair sum of money in the bank,
and he was out for wife. Studying
over the matter carefully, ST made
list of the eligible girls in his neigh
borhood, and proceeded to bring the
marryin' business to an early finish.
Thar waz Sally Jinkins, one of tie
purtiest blondes thet ever wore shoe
leather, and her daddy owned 1000
acres of good land, aud didn't owe
cent. ''Purty good chance" sez Si.
So ST puts on his Sunday-go-to-meet-
ing clothes, red necktie, long tail
coat, Darby hat, handkerchief loaded
with German cologne, and away he
sails to Squire Jinkins' residence, at
about p. m. ST Siwalked to the viran-
da and gave the door knocker geoi
rattle, which woke up the whole fam
lily. Miss Sally met ST at the door,
and invited him in, and ST made a
most gracious bow, almost falling
down over pot of geraniums which
Sally wuz raisin' on the virsnda:
"Come in, Mr.. Hodges" sez Sally,
and Si lit in the parlor. He sot him
self on the sofia, and as Miss Sally
also sot down on cheer, ST seq;
''Miss Sally, I think powerful lot
of you and as I am a farmer, who
amt got no time to do reg'lar court

Well, you ought to hav seen that

Mi Can n q Harvard IF Rur1ip ~

Maj. Gen. o. o. Howard of Burling-
ton has written his views on temper
ance to the New Voice. He does not
believe that either the prohibitory laws
of Vermont or Maine or the license law
are promoters of true temperance, but
he thinks that some legal restraint, for
the benefit of young men is wise.
Such restraining law, while answer
ing the purpose desired, should, he
holds, be so framed as not to offend
lovers of liberty and not to promote the
sale of liquor for purely money making
motives. The placing of unusurl temp
tation before young men, he considers
a sad mistake and while not at all posi-
tive as to the best course to pursue, he
hopes younger men will take up and
carry on the work of real temperance
more successfully than their fathers
and grandfathers have done. This is
hope in which we may all join with the
confidence which the lessons of past
failures and growing individual con-
ception of true temperance gives.

For and Against the Hedgehog Law.

Says The Bristol Herald:
1.-The Groton Times is not in love
with the hedgehog law. Give the law
fair trial. 1t has been the means of
distributing considerable sum among
the people, thereby doing much good. :"
Not all distributions of money among
the people do good. Money never
should be distributed among any peo-
pie except for a good reason. Nothing
is more destructive of popular fore
thought and thrift than i'll considered
bounty. A paternal government that
doles out largess to its people is mere
ly breeding race of mendicants and
dependents. Only nations whose peo-
pie individually earn all they get ever
accomplish anything. Then there are
other objections to the contemporary
philosophy. In the first place, it makes
a difference where the money comes
from that is being distributed and who
gets it. In this case, the money almost
entirely comes from the people who
never see hedgehog, and goes, not
among the people" but to few far
mers whose farms border wood and
to the hunters and boys that are now
business of earning the boun.
ty. There is no general distribution of
the money, and it is taken from people
who for the most part do not consent
to its expenditure in that way.-St.
Adams Messenger.

The Cattle Epizootic Over.

Not one genuine case of foot and
mouth disease (epizootic aptha) in any
animal has been discovered in Massa-
chusetts or New Hampshire, the quar-
antined district, since the United
States secretary of agriculture offered
a reward of $3.50 ''to any person who
shall, before June 80, 1903, first report
to the chief of the bureau of animal in
dustry any case of foot and mouth dis
ease in the states now in quarantine. p"
Five cattle owners have made claims
for the reward of $3.50 In four of the
cases reported an investigation has
been made and in each instance the
fact was developed that while the cat
tie were ill, they were not suffering
from this disease. An examination has
been made in the fifth case, but the
inspectors have not yet reported to the
department The department will,
however, keep close watch on New En-
gland cattle and be ready to act
promptly in any case. The reward will
probably stand for some months. All
of the supposed cases recently reported
for the purpose of obtaining the reward
were from New Hampshire.

The question "When is mar
drunk" is very properly subject fol
discussion in these days when we are
arresting drunken men. But if the
opinions of the Vermont police on the
subject are as widely at variance as
those expressed in our newspapers, q
lot of injustice is bound to be done.
For instance, one says a man is drunk
when his breath smells of liquor, nc
matter what his actions and another
quotes an old Wells River rule that a
man was not regarded drunk as long as
he could lie fiat on the ground and
hold on to the grass. The Brandon
Union describes recent drunk" in
that place as follows:
'He was completely paralyzed, abso.
lutely ossified, undeniably dead drunk.
His limbs seemed homeless, he was as
elastic as bag of meal and Sunday
school picnic could not have wakened
him.
A New Yorker writes to Vermont
paper that in New York man is drunk
when he can no longer stand at bar
and take drink. With these diverg-
ing opinions rampant in the human
brain it is easy to see why the reports
from the various towns of drunkenness
and arrests under the.new law of SO
great numerical difference The num-
bers vary with the definitions.

Talk" of Lyuching.

There was "talk of lynching" in
Mortified, it> is said, when Stephen
Trombly was arrested last week,
charged with attempting felonious
assault on a young woman. And have
we come to this, that we should talk"
of lynching in Vermont? When men
demean themselves by revolving crimes,
does it better conditions to have other
men resign themselves to lawless ven
geance and personal brutality? No, it
does not. Lynching criminal never
wipes out the wrong he has done, new
or makes him any better, never makes
anybody any better, never raises the
moral tone of community. On the
contrary, it adds horror to the remem-
brance of the wrong, cuts off the GRIM
inal from a proper realization of his
crime, makes many murderers instead
of one and lowers inestimably the civ
ilization of the community. No. Re-
spect for the law and a steadfast adhe-
renee to it's provisions is the only true
and safe way. Whatever happens, let
us not "talk" or even think of lynch
ing. It's beastly.

The sincere desire Of the people OF
Georgia for the betterment OF the me-
gro race is shown by the vote OF its
legislature which Monday killed the
bill for the distribution Of school mon.
ey according to the taxable property
OF the two races. The sentiment OF
the legislature was that even when the
burden of taxation falls almost entire
ly upon white taxpayers, the state
should help, in the common school ed
ucation of the colored children, to the
limit of. its ability. This is quite the
right decision. 1t is not the negroes
fault that he is by nature and circum-
stance inclined to be unambitious and
indolent and it is much to his credit
that he shows disposition for better
things By the laws of humanity, he
is entitled to help that shall lead him
to self help and it is most encouraging
to note that Georgia is inclined to
give such aid.
