Harry and Edmori Van Horn are

Spring goods for The Grand Depot.
he Spirit of Winter,

The Spirit of Winter is with us,
making its presence known in many
different WAYS sometimes by CHEEKY
sunshine aud ghstening SHOWS and
sometimes by driving winds and blind
ing storms. To many people it seems
to take delight in making bad things
worse, for rheumatism twists harder,
twinges sharper, eatarrh becomes more
annoying, and the many symptoms of
scrofula are developed and aggravated.
There is not much poetry in this, but
there is truth, and it is wonder that
more people don't get rid of these all
ments. The medicine that cures them
Hoods Sarsaparlla lis easily OBJ
tanned and there is abundant proof
that its cures are radical and perma-
nent.

HOW TIME is MADE.
Uncle Sam Regulates His Clocks by
One of the Fixed STARE


One of the Fixed Stars,
Strange as it may seem, Uncle Sam
does not make use of the sun for reclr-
oning time, but he turns his attention
TO some of the regular steady going
stars, or fixed stars" as they are
called. Every clear night an astrono.
mer with big telescope looks at cer-
tain of these stars and makes his cal
culatiohs, from which he can tell just
when the sun would cross the seventy
fifth meridian. One of the great clocks
In the observatory is called the trans
mitter. because 1t transmits or sends
out the signal that keeps standard
time. This clock is set and regulated
by the star time, and then every day
at three minutes and fifteen seconds
before II a switch is turned on, and the
beats of the pendulum of this clock are
sent by electricity over the wires to the
telegraph offices in Washington and
New York. When the telegraph oper-
ators hear this sound on their instru-
ments, they know that the noon signal
Is about to be sent out, and they at
once begin to connect the telegraph
wires with other towns and cities until
In minute or two the tick, tick" of
the clock at Washington is heard IN
hundreds of telegraph offices. The
beats stop at ten seconds before Il. as
d notice that the next tick" VIII be
the noon signal and so as to give the
operators time to connect their wires
with the standard time balls and clocks.
There are time balls In a great many
Enthusiastically on top of some promi-
nent building, where they can easily be
seen. The one ut Washington Is on the
roof of the state, war and navy depart
ment building, at the top of high pole,
ready to drop the instant the signal
comes over the wire. In the govern
ment Offices at Washington and In
many places in other cities there are
large clocks connected with the OBJ
servatory by electricity, These are SO
arranged that when the II o'clock sig
nal is flashed over the wires the hands
of each one of these clocks spring to
Il, no matter what time the clock may
show. In this way hundreds of clocks
are set to the correct time each day.
Well. the moment the sun is supposed
to cross the seventy-ffth meridian the
telegraph instruments give a single
tick, the time balls drop, the clocks be-
gin to strike and everybody In the Dis
trict knows it Is II o'clock.-St. Nicho-

Like the wei, you'll be out in the street.
A number of feet off the top wall
We're torn from its sides in a dump,
And instead of the curb and windlass,
1t was modernized with new pump.
Now, the old well looks so lowy,

What change, since the day its water
Was drawn from its depth with u sweep
Now it seems like a humble old cast-out,
Yet dispenses good ike u saint,

The readers Of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there is at least one dreaded disease
that science has been able to cure in all its
stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
ture is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. catarrh being a constitu-
tional disease, requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation Of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the constitu-
ton and assisting nature in doing it's work.
The proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send

The York (Pa) Dispatch Is satisfied with the Iowa platform and everything else, apparently It says.
 With the Republicans united on the tariff and otk CT vital questions, the nation is safe, and The Dispatch cannot figure out how Mir. Roosevelt can be defeated at the polls.
 The only important and vital question the Republicans are united on. as we view 1t, Is that of offices and spells. They are all of a oneness when it comes to be- lieving that their Party should continue in power. If there were no offices in prospect, the Republican Party would fly In pieces like an exploded fre-cracker. They are as far from being really united on the tariff issue as the Democrats are on the money question, but the greed for office will probably hold them in line till after the election. The Dispatch may not be able to figure out how Roosevelt can be dekeated, but that much desired event may come, for ail that.
