This is not gentle word--but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase the only remedy universally
known and a remedy that has had the
largest sale of any medicine in the
world since 1868 for the cure and treat
ment Of Consumption and Throat and
Lung troubles without losing it's great
popularity all these years, you will be
thankful we called your attention to
Boschee's German Syrup. There are so
many ordinary cough remedies made by
druggists and others that are cheap and
good for light colds perhaps, but for
severe Coughs, Bronchitis, Group and
especially for Consumption, where there
is difficult expectoration and coughing
during the nights and mornings, there
is nothing like German Syrup. The 25

year. Regular size rs cents. For sale

Several weeks ago Mr.. f. M. Boyd,
acting secretary of the Commissioners
of Public Works, handed City Council
the following abstract from the minutes
of meeting of the Commissioners held
on May H:
ABSTRACT FROM MINUTES.
Resolved, That AS the Town Council
4 has declined the proposition of the
Board of Public Works, made to them
in January last, to furnish the money
/ necessary to build reservoir sufficient
to hold a reserve supply Of water,
which is absolutely necessary to the
health and efficient fire protection of
the city; and that the proposition under
which the Board and Council were to
act in 1901 and 1902 is still operative,
the Board would request that the Coun-
Gil arrange at once to pay the deficiency
remaining due the Board for the year
= 1901, of $660.00, and the deficiency for
the year 1902 of 81, 10000, and the de-
ficiency for the five months of the year
1903, amounting to $625.00.
- AIlU IL Ctlc OOulCIl Cull UOJ arrange
for speedy settlement that the Board
be notified at what date they can ar
range such settlement, so that upon
that as a basis they can contract for
the necessary work, as they feel that
the water supply Of the city demands
not only an increased daily supply but
reserve supply sufficient to meet t.
demands in case of any accident to the
machinery OF calls made upon it in case
of fire. r. M. BOYD,
Acting Secretary
Yesterday morning Mayor Earhardt
addressed the following communication
in reply:
COUNCILS REPLY.
June 18, 1903.
To the Commissioners of Public Works,
Newberry, S. c.:
Gentlemen: Replying to your COM
munication handed me Oh the End inst,
in the form of an abstract from your
minutes of the 9th ult., | have the
honor to inform you that after a care
town l fail to find any record of an
agreement, proposition, or contract
whereby the town is indebted to you in
the amounts claimed, or that such con-
tract or agreement is now effective.
Hence we must decline to accede to
your proposition.
Respectfully,
j. w. EARHARDT, Mayor.
1t will be seen from the abstract of
the Commissioners minutes that the
Board is under, the impression that
there exists an agreement by which
Council is annually to make an appro-
priation for the support or improve
ment of the public works under the
management of the Commissioners. It
is equally clear from Mayor Earhardt's
reply that Council knows Of no such
agreement and refuses to make the ap-
preparation asked. There the matter
rests.

ATTACKS THE BUSH LAW.
American Book Company Contends
That 1t Is Invalid.

The suit to GUST the American Book
company from the state of Kansas for
noncompliance with the Bush corpora
ton law, which most people had for
gotten about, is now pending in the
United States supreme court, and a mo-
ton to dismiss it will come up next
Monday. G. c. Clemens has been hunt
ing up some evidence in the office of the
secretary of state in support CO the mo-
ton.
The suit was brought when the state
text book commission awarded the read
er contracts to the American Book COM
pany, which is generally known as the
book trust 1t was discovered that the
American Book company had never paid
its fees for doing business IN Kansas
under the Bush law, and the supreme
court decided that it must do so before
it could enter into a contract with the
state text book commission. The COM
pany Immediately paid it's fees, amount
ing, it is stated, to about 81, 600. 1t wants
to break the Bush law and secure the
refunding of these fees, and for that
reason it appealed the suit to GUST it to
the United States supreme court, alleg
ing the unconstitutionality of the Bush
law.
The attorneys for the state allege that
there is now no ground for the suit in
asmuch as the book company has COM
piled with the law. and they have filed
a motion to dismiss.

unusual commotien among the people
on the stage and then it all came to
him-he wasn't the whole show-that
there were others there who were going
to perform that evening and his was
only a part of the entertainment.
The trembling boy, greatly embarrass-
ed, returned to the wings and the play
got another start, with LoOmis very
much in evidence. He seemed to be the
man best fitted for the part of Mr.. B.
Bibbs and he made the audience laugh
until the ears rolled down their backs.
Loomis supposed that they were laugh
ing at the part he represented and so
they were to certain extent. but the
most fun came from seeing I,ootIiS
spread himself that evening.
LOOMS has never been as funny since
as he was on that occasion. He made
hit that night, but the general ex-
preston was that a case should have
been made against the dramatic COM
pany for obtaining the young mans
service under false pretenses. LOOMS
didn't sleep well for several nights. He
was anxious to learn what the papers
were going to say about the show the
next week What the papers said can
not at present be recalled, but never
theless Loomis decided to return to the
practice of law and pass up the stage.

LOOMS AS AN ACTOR.
An Amusing Story of His Early
Experience.


Experience.
The following is from the Salina
journal:
N. H. Loomis. who is spoken OF as
candidate for United States district
Judge to succeed Judge Hook, is a Sa-
done chores on the farm, driven the
cows to pasture. and performed other
things that make great men out of am
bilious boys. Loomis worked on the
farm until some one told him that he
would make good lawyer and then NJ
came to town and studied law in the
office of Carver & Bond. The boy took
up with Blackstone at sight. He studied
industriously day and night and soon
acquired the required amount of knowl-
edge of law to pass the examination for
admission to the bar. LOOMS worked
theoretically at everything which he IN
result except in one instance when he
threw aside his law books for a stage
attire and the leading part in a home
talent entertainment. Loomis may not
remember the incident but the people
who were in the audience can never ror-
get it.
1t was one night in the sos when the
SAUNA Dramatic company, recognizing
the talent of the young law student, en-
gagged his services at a stipulated
amount in stage money, for a star per-
Torrance at the opera house. I.oomfs,
after due elaboration. consented to ac-
cept the offer which had been forced on
him by his friends. For days and days
before the time set for the show LOOMS
was studying his part He had almost
forgotten his knowledge of law In his
efforts to be Jefferson or a Booth and
people about town often remarked that
LOOMS would surely become famous, if
practice was any criterion. When
client would come into his Office In re-
gard to law case LOOMS would talk
with him on the matter of the approach
ing theatrical event and before the man
left he had a good impression of the
part LOOMS was to take.
The day of the show arrived The
leading man was up before daylight re-
citing his part and all day long he
seemed greatly worried. Evening ar
rived on schedule time and LOOMS
was at the opera house long before
anyone was around. He climbed in
window and made his way to the stage
and TO one knows how many times he
appeared before the footlights that
evening to an imaginary audience. The
young man had never appeared in pub
lie before. The title of the play was
that great laughable and spectacular
farce, "A Quiet Family" and Loomis
was to impersonate the role of MIR
Benjamin Bibbs," who shared with Mr.
Barnaby Bibbs," alias 7. L. Bond the
honOrs of the occasion. The doors of
the opera house were thrown open at
T:30 and the crowd pushed and jammed
up the stairs leading to the balcony
The price was 80 cents and the house
was crowded when the time arrived for
the entertainment to begin. There were
several other Salina persons in the cast
but LOOMS had forgotten this partic-
ular part and when the curtain went
up our young hero stepped to the front
and started to recite his part to the
audience. He noticed that there was an
