More Presidential Interference.

Philadelphia Record.
 District Attorney Johnson, of Indian Territory. procured the indictment of Chickasaw Tribe, The same parties last year got s750,oo0 from the Chicka saw and Choctaw Indians <as legal fees" the sum alone being sufficient to give an appearance of fraud to the af; fair. In the recent case the indicted persons procured the influence of per sonal and political friends of the Pres ident. and through him procured. an order continuing the trial to another term of Court. and then an order for the quashing of the indictments. Mir. Johnson refused, and his dismissal was ordered and then reconsidered. on tho ground that to dismiss him under such circumstances would not look well, and was needless because his com mission will expire January IA.
 A failure to reappoint D District hds At At cured these indictments and refuses to dismiss them would be ts a epss gross o.Psn. Su;. sive and notorious cases in which the President has interfered with the course of justice in the interest of a friend or the friend of friend.

The Earthworn as a Phophet.

Philadelphia Recoru.
 "The winter solstice Is here. and the sun Is on his way back to us. But the common earthworm is unwilling to admit that winter Is here," Said 8 weather observer yesterday. This morning I found an earthworm on tho pavement in Franklin Square-dead, of course. He had gone astray and per ished by coming In contact with the cold stone. As there Is no frost in the ground. he had not yet gone into win ter quarters. Later poked my canc into a worm hole and turned out sev- eral lively fellows. What does this mean? It means that the worm knows lot. His place at tho end of the year is two feet under ground. in little cell he has prepared for himself and whither he goes to escape the frost. He refuses to go now, because there is no serious winter In sight. remember in the winter of 1S77-'7S dandeIions bloomed every month in Northern and Central New Jersey. Maybe the lowly worm predicts sim

PREACHERS PAY.

The Th0ughtlessness of People Who
 Impose Upon Them.
 Some preachers have a serious time with their finances. They are expect ed. above all men. to pay their debts, ing else but a preachers work, such as preaching the finest of sermons at tending faithfully at the bed side of thu the sick sick burying the dead and dress this means costly libraries: big dry Try goodts tbIa rnq sundEy bnd Sls sailroad flare bers of preachers who are expected to do all these things on about $400 a year paid mostly at the end of ,the year.
 There are many people who think preachers never have any expenses at all. For instance we know of mies SfFxnE From Some rhey Ssy paS him a paltry sum of $10O a year. He gets letters and telegrams constantly to marry them or bury their dead. pays receive a cent of money to even pay his expenses. Another time he was warned to be at home that he would miles to bury anothSr but had to ride twenty miles through the mud and cold weather to reach the old family burying ground and got not a cent. Another preacher was told by. large farmer that he must be on she loolN out for notice to come bury his aged mothers remains. The preacher replied, All right. send a team up af- ter me" well" said the farmer T am mighty busy. blowing: You can hire a team at the stables" The preacher hired the team at the stables and paid for 1t himself, and went and attended the funeral of the good farm CTS mother. For they told us so.
 We know preacher who said one citizen got mad with him for rappinE his dog on the nose when he was try ing to bite him out in the streets. He also had to strike mans horse in the face to keep him from running over him. The driver wanted to know why he struck his horse.
 Because" said the preacher. q could not strike you"
 Now 1t might be said preachers should live on their work. That is true but many large sections have no preachers living among them of any kind and we do not wonder!

The statement that in a recent hotel fire in Los Angeles the building "burned like finder" Is a phrase which might be stereotyped for regular use Fortunately for the guests, the fire oc- cured at an hour in the morning when most of them were up so that there were none of them burned, but all are not so lucky. The point we are after is that most hotels and theatres burn like finder when they take fire. If modern skill has solved the problem of really fre-proof buildings, 1t is not applied, unless it is true that all the public buildings which burn so quickly. and of- ten with such fatal results, are old ones. That Is the only way to account for the many accounts of fatal fires, provided the new structures are fire proof

There are two ways to remove constt patton; the wrong way is to drench the bowels with powerful, griping, drastic cathartic that injures the coating of the bowel channels and produces an early return of the trouble in more chronic form. The right way is to use natural, easy and mild laxative that tones up and strengthens the bowels and leaves healthfu1 influence behind it. Prickly, Ash Bitters will empty the bowels just as thoroughly as the harsher cathartics, and combines all the tonic and strength ening properties necessary to perma- nently cure the habit.

developed red hot contest, the count
of the votes showing that Miss Mary

securing over $187 worth of votes,
while Miss Lizzie Haas of DEBORAH re-
ceived over $108 worth. Besides the
above f. @. Sobek & Co. gave hand
some dining table and set of chairs,
which was drawn byTJohn Calendar
