these two diseases and their effects,
such as sour stomach, sick headache,
habitual costiveness, palpitation of
the heart, heartburn, waterbrash and
gnawing, burning pains at the pit of
the stomach, yellow skin and coated
tongue, disagreeable taste in mouth,
coming up of food. after eating, low
spirits, etc. Go to your druggist and
get bottle of August Flower for Is

ance and unbearable itching. l was
using Billiards. Snow Liniment for a
sore leg, and through an accident, l
rubbed some of the liniment on the

We take pleasure in furnishing
"Citizen" space in the most con-
spicuous part of The Commercial,
and most assuredly agree with him
in his observations. When town
is growing, there is no trouble to
find new and desirable industries.
But when there has been retard
movement for years, it is like
squeezing "blood from a turnip"
to get something that you wouldn't
care whether you had or not.
Hence, the duty of the citizen to
take advantage of the conditions
as he finds them, and apply the
remedy. And his remedy is a
railroad right through the heart
of the county from Union City to
Reelfoot Lake and TiptonvilIe.
Major Harris, we understand, is
still favorably inclined to cooper
ate with Union City on project
of this kind, and has, even during
the past few days, signifed the
same toethe secretary of the Com
merciaI Club. Let's go at it and
get it. Why not9

CHANGE in SOUTHERN LYcEUM.
r. G. Coldwell Disposes of His Inter
est in the Bureau

The recent incorporation of the
Southern Lyceum Bureau was pre-
liminary to a change in the man
agement. Mr.. r. G. Coldwell,
who established the business, will
retire from the presidency and
active management on March 2,
being succeeded by his brother, j.
M. Coldwell, now secretary and
treasurer. Associated with the
latter will be Messrs. G. FL. Moon
sy and Philip Ray, managers re.
spectively of the branches at At
lanta and Dallas. Mr.. Coldwell,
who retires, gets handsome price
for his interest. He has made a
snug little fortune out of the bust
uess, and is going to devote the
next two years to globe trotting
trip, starting in May or early next
fall. He expects to visit every
civilized country, ''from Green
lands icy mountains to India's
coral strand"
The Southern Lyceum Bureau
was established by Mr.. Coldwell
in 1888. From several lyceum
courses the business has grown to
six hundred.

stoutly with his statehood bill, but

passing strange why the Senator

Tower and Bell Are Down.

The fire bell and tower, located in the
rear of Rooms store near the corner of
Centre and Front streets, were taken
down yesterday, in accordance with in
structions issued by the borough council
at recent meeting. The tower was
almost ready to topple over, and it was
only question of time until it would
fall and probably do damage to surround
ing property.
The bell had done duty for a score of
years in calling the firemen and towns
people together when conflagration
was discovered, but three years ago it
was bowled out of business by the Game
well box-system, and since then it has
been useless ornament, ready to crash
to the ground any moment.
The bell, however is in good condi-
tion, and its clear, sharp peals make it a
valuable adjunct to the fire equipment
of small town. 1t is the property of
the Citizens Hose Company, but the
borough owned the tower

The wounded flags! How proudly
They fluttered in the days
When drums we're thrumming loudly
And flies sang warning lays!
How brave was all their glowing
Where fierce the war guns spoke,
Their stars forever showing
A beacon through the smoke!
The wounded flags! We hail them
And revel in each hue,
Though age and time may pale them
And red blend into blue.
Though all grow dark and duller,
Yet in every part
We see the living color
That thrills the nations heart.

"NOthing to Say"

The members of the Cancellation
Board, which is to settle disputes be-
tween the miners and operators growing
out of the Interpretation of the Coal
Commissions award. met on Wednesday,
as announced in that issue. but what
was done or discussed has not been
made public. Each of the six mem bers
seems to have taken an oath of secrecy,
as the only direct information given out
was that they had met and would meet
again-sometime, but when or where
they did not say
There is evidently hitch OF some
kind over the organization. The init.
nation that the operators represents
tives would object to the credentials of
the miners representatives seems to
have some foundation. When Messrs
Nichols, Dettrey and Fahy were asked
II the operators objected to their mem
bership on the board, they replied 1--WE
have nothing to say"
Messrs. Luther, Warriner and Con-
nell were asked the same question and
they gave practically the same answer:
Nothing to say about it,"

BIG TAX COLLECTION.

Gathering Funds for School Board.

Gathering Funds for School Board.
Freeland school board settled its ac-
counts with Tax Collector Malloy on
Wednesday evening. The members
present were Directors Brogan, Boyle,
Buckley, Fetterman, Isaac, Kline, Nc
Geehan and Timony. EXonerationS to
the amount of .94 were asked by the
collector on the duplicate of 1901 and
were allowed by the board, after which
the balance, $439 SO, was paid to the
treasurer.
On the 1902 duplicate, which amount
ed to S7,660. l3, a total of So, 300 has
been collected and paid to the school
district treasurer. The abatements
amounted to S65.92, the rebates to
SlS4 21, the mmissions to $21S so and
property taxes to the amount of S327. 06
have been returned to the county com
missioners. The exonerations asked
for amounted to S512 AZ, which includes
double and triple assessments, taxes
against deceased persons and other err
rors in assessment All the exonera-
tions were granted by the board, with
the exception of the taxes against four
persons whom the directors considered
should be compelled to pay. The bal
ance due from the collector, subject to
further generations and com missions,
is about $50.
During Mr.. Malloy's term of office he
was particularly unfortunate in having
to face three strikes-two of the miners
and one of Drifton shop employees.
These had a telling effect on the collec-
tions. Notwithstanding this fact, his
work of the past year was a record
breaker for Freeland borough and the
school directors were agreeably sur
prised at the very large amount of taxes
which the energetic collector has gath
cred for the board during the year.
After the meeting Mr.. Malloy gave
his annual ice cream treat to the mem
bers of the school board.

Superintendent Resiqns.

Sydney Williams has rendered his
resignation as general superintendent
for &. B. Markle e Co., of Jeddo, owing
to Ill health, and it took effect Wedues-
day evening. Mr.. Williams departed
yesterday for his home in Scranton.
The superintendent entered the employ
of the firm last October, and succeeded
w. Fl. Smith, Jr. The name of his sue
cessor has not been announced, but it is
believed that Mr.. Smith will be again
summoned to assume the duties of the
position.
Markle & Co. recently erected a mag
nificent home at Jeddo for Mr. Williams,
and this, with the fact that his health
was not publicly known to be affected,
has given rise to rumors that the real
reason for his resignation and abrupt
departure has not been disclosed

Race Program.

'oSS EsSS' o'''
The race program for the next
state fair is beginning to attract att
tention among the people interested
in horse affairs. Notwithstanding
certain insinuations regarding horse
racing without pool-selling adjunct,
which were made during the late ses-
sion of the state legislature. it is a
fact that the races at the Minnesota
fair have been built up magniticently
since pool selling was abolished. At
first it was slow work, but during the
last four or five years, progress has
been steady and rapid.
Last year the entries at the Mime
sofa state fair were pronounced the
equal of any of the grand circuit race
meets, and this by the highest au-
thority.
This year the program has been
enlarged by the addition Of one
$1,000 race, as well as two novelties
for Minnesota horses only. These
Minnesota races are a free-for-all
pace on Tuesday of fair week and a
free-for-all trot, which will come off
on Friday. A silver cup is the prize.
Big Revenue.
State Auditor S. G. Iverson an
pounces that the states outstanding
loans from the permanent school
fund aggregate nearly $2,O0O,000. The
money is loaned to 1900 different
borrowers including counties, cities,
villages and townships.
Bonds aggregating $177,6o4.1o and
interest amounting to $76,556.51 will
become due July 1, 1908. The inter
est goes to the general school fund
and is apportioned among the schools
of the state per capital. The state
loans about 100000 every year.
Most of the loans were made for
the erection of school houses. Others
were used for jails and court houses
in counties, water and electric light
plants in cities and villages and roads
and bridges in townships.
