No Change in School Books &.

State Superintendent Of
Schools W. T. Darlington has
sent a letter to school boards,
calling attention to the fact
that the school book contract
made in 1892 is yet in force, and
announced that he proposes to
enforce it,. In the letter he
says:
1.-The law makes it a INSIDE
meanor for school boards to
permit the use of any book in
place of the adopted book, and
forfeits the bond of any publish
er who fails to supply books at
contract prices. Many earnest,
honest, progressive teachers
prefer other texts to some of
the accepted books. The only
thing that can be done is to fol-
low the law until public senti-
ment demands a change, the
last legislature having refused
to authorize a change.
The law is binding on both
parties to the contract, and it
is the duty of the State super
intendent to enforce it. So far,
all reported abuses have bee n
corrected without resort to
court, and it is the desire of the
State superintendent that this
may not be necessary. Pub
fishers must have books on sd lie
in each county at the contract
prices.

A Suburban Cottage.

The complicated architecture
that so often Identifies suburban
cottages is wanting IN a very
attractive example pictured in
the October Delineator. Sim
plicity is the keynote of this
cottage. which is on the Dutch
Colonial order, the exterior be-
ing of wide boards and Shingles
and the furnishings largely in
Mission style. Spacious YER
andas and comfortable settees
are adjuucts to outdoor living
and the rooms within are plan
ned economically aud conven-
ientlv, quaint fireplace aud lat
ticed windows lending an air of
individuality. Altogether, it is
a cottage that should appeal to
prospective home builders.

What Is Catarrh?
hyOmei Only Guaranteed Cure for This
Common and DisagreeabIe
Disease.

Hyomei cures cdtarrh by the
simple method of breathing it
into the air passages and
lungs. 1t kills the germs of
catarrhal poison, heals aud
soothes the Irritated mucous
membrane and effectually drives
this disease from the system.
If you have any of the follow
ing symptoms, catarrhal germs
are at work somewhere in the
mucous membrane OF the throat,
bronchial tubes or tissues of
the lungs.
Offensive breath. huskiness of
voice, dryness of the nose, dis
charge from the nose, pain
across the eyes, stoppage of
the nose at night, pain in back
of the head, aching of the body,
pain in front of the head. drop
pings in the throat, tendency to
take cold. mouth open while
sleeping, burning pain in the
throat, tickling back of the pal.
ate, hawking to clear the throat
formation of crusts in the nose,
pain in the chest, a cough, dry
ness of the throat in the MORN
ing, stitch in side, loss of
strength, losing of flesh, spasms
of coughing, variable appetite,
cough short and hacking, low
spirited at times, raising of
frothy mucous, coughs worse
nights and mornings, expector-
ating yellow matter, loss in
vital force, difficulty in breath
iug, a feeling of tightness across
the upper part of the chest,
frequent sneezing.
Hyomei will destroy activity
of all catarrhal germs in the
respiratory organs and in a few
weeks the cure will be com.
plete.
This is a strong statement,
but Wood Bros, emphasizes it
by agreeing to refund your mon.
ey if Hyomei does not cure.

City and Country Scribes.

When YOU consider that the
country weekly is owned by It's
editor aud that the man who
writes the funny things about
the country papers in the city
journals is owned by the corpo.
ration for which he writes, it
doesn't seem so sad.
When you know that the av-
erage city newspaper mans idea
OF the country was gained from
a back area with a plot of grass
on it about the size of a pocket
handkerchief, you know lie
can't know much about country
newspapers and their making
and you don't shed tears on &C
count of what he says.
When you see an item in the
city papers poking fun at the
country editor for printing items
about John Jones' new barn,
you laugh and laugh-forlyou
know that over on the 'steehth
page of that same city daily
is a two column story in re gard
to the trimming on the gowns
of the Duchess of Wheelbar-
row, and another double header
on the trivial goings on of Har-
ny L+hr.
And it is all the more anus.
ing because you know that the
duchess and Mr.. Harry do not
even know of the existencelof
the aforesaid city paper, while
John Jones and many of his
neighbors take and pay for the
paper which mentioned his new
barn.
When you consider that the
average city newspaper man
gets Fulton in Pike county aud
Fayette in Boone county, and
that he. doesn't know whether
corn is harvested in spring or
winter or fall and that he saws
las was done by a Kansas City
paper the other day. that the
'hand" in measuring a horse is
three inches, you cease to feel
sorry for the country editor.
The fact is the country news
paper man who knows his bust
ness and who attends to it, is
more independent, morally and
financially than the city news
paper writer who pokes fun at
him.
The greatest city newspaper
man this state ever produced
and he was kingpin-drew a
salary of $1,000 at the time he
died of overwork.
There few country newspa.
permen who make more than
that; one of them is now travel
ing with his family in Europe.
OF course the latter is an ex-
ception; but so was the former.
Don't waste your pity on the
country newspaper worker.
He will get along.-Linueus

Gained Entrance to Station by Forcing Door With
Jimmy-.Sound Of Explosion was Heard, But
Unable to Locate Source Until Station was
Opened this Morning
THE POLICE SAY 1T WAS BUNCLING JOB

An attompt to blow open the safe in
the office of the Pennsylvania railroad
depot, in State street, was made at
B. 10 O'Clock this morning with nitro
glycerine. The outer covering of the
door. of iron, about q inch thick,
was blown completely off and the
inner part was torn in several places.
Fragments of the door were blown
across the room and struck window,
about eight feet away, scattering glass
in all directions. Access was not
gained to the contents of the safe, it
is thought, but this can not be definite
ly asoertained until maohinist is
sent for to open the door. 1t is under
stood that there was 500 in money in
the safe, in addition to number of
papers,
The deed was discovered by Charles

by the door near the round house, at
the northern .end of the building.
Five freshly made cuts showed where
jimmy had been used. The door of
the inner office was burst open.
The clock on one end of the counter,
beneath which the safe is kept, was
stopped by the shock, thus showing
the time of the explosion.

could not locate its source. The report
was also heard by several residents
in the vicinity of the depot. The

O'Clock aud the last at 8. 10. the time
ut which the clock stopped. After
