LOCAL COMMENT.


1t is unfortunate and regrettable that
so much i'll feeling has been stirred up
among the members of a library board
over matter that might easily have
been adjusted without a row. If Miss
Parker was drawing the pay of a first
assistant and was entitled to the posi-
ton, as a majority of the board seemed
to think she was, resolution overrul-
ing all previous resolutions should have
been introduced long ago, to set the
whole matter at rights. There is un-
questionably delicacy in stating just
what one thinks where there are wom-
en- on the board, and women on library
boards, as in all other affairs. often have
ways of their own, but there seemed
to have been votes enough at all times
among members, to have put this thing
Alright, had someone not been content to
let affairs drift in anomalous form.
Mayor Jones acted wisely in the Ii
brary matter, and took the proper
method Of Strengthening out affairs by
appointing members who will be in har-
mony with the majority of those who
remain on the board. 1t was a good
stroke of policy, also, to call n special
meeting, and make the new appoiatees
at time when they may qualify and
take their seats at once. The state Ii
brary association meeting is to be held
next month and the library board
should be working harmoniously before
it is called upon to show the state OFF,

A Remarkable Record.

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has a
remarkable record. 1t has been in use
for over thirty years, during which
time many million bottles have been
sold and used. 1t has long been the
standard and main reliance in the
treatment of Group In thousands OF
homes, yet during all this time no case
has ever been reported to the manu-
facturers in which it failed to eject a
cure. When given as soon as the child
becomes hoarse or even as soon as the
croupy cough appears it will prevent
the attack. 1t is pleasant to take; many
children like it. 1t contains no opium
or other harmful substance and may
be given as confidently 10 a baby as to
an adult. For sale by all druggists.
