DECISION OF JUDGES.
Music. .... High School Orchestra
Interest was especially deep in this
contest, as it is the second one in a
series of three for winning permanent
ly the statue of Minerva.
Minerva came into the Ladysn1ith
school as d prize to OUR successful con-
testant one year ago, but it must be
won three successive years in order that
it may remain in any school,
The judges, three competent educa-
tors chosen from out of the county,
gave their decision in favor of: Lady
smith first, Weyerhaeuser second, and
Tony third, and presented to the best
girl speaker, Francis Manning of Lady
smith, and the best boy speaker, Bert
Maffet of Weyerhaeuser, each ten
dollar gold piece, present from the
State Bank Of Ladysmith.
The contestants, three boys and three
girls were all well chosen representa-
tives, and their schools may well feel
proud of them.
The boys winning second and third
places were exceptionally good, and we
hope to see them strive for, and gain
first honors at future contests.
Ladysmith may justly feel proud of
her young and talented speaker who
won for herself high place in public
opinion, and for her school an enviable
position in the county.
If Ladysmith, as we earnestly hope,
wins in the contest next year the statue
of Minerva will remain permanently in
our school.
The county contests are source of
great educational value to our schools

S1OO Reward, 500.

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 Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its 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 for list Of testi.

TRUSTY
ESCAPED
AT NIGHT
Warden Curtis Found Him at
the Depot Within Short
Time

Charles Williamson, a trusty at the
penitentiary, escaped last night, but
did not enjoy his freedom for many
hours, as Warden Curtis caught him
at the depot just before the local ar.
rived this morning.
Williamson was under five-year
sentence from Multnomah county for
forgery, and has served about 21a
years. He was employed as pump ten
der at night, and has been trusted, be-
cause it was supposed that he would
not make an attempt to escape.
Last night the lights on the walls
went out for about two hours, and it
is thought that the escape was made at
that time. Williamson slept during the
day, and did not suppose that he would
be missed until night time, but Deputy
Warden Smith called this morning, and
he was surprised to find that the pris-
oner was absent.
Word was Immediately sent out by
Warden Curtis, and several guards
commenced the pursuit. Mr.. Curtis
came directly to the S. P. passenger
depot, and found the escape walking
down the platform with a lantern in
his hand and dressed like a brakeman
He was taken into custody, and will
lose his place as trusty. When arrest
ed he had a razor and a knife, and his
clothing hard been changed.

SORES
Wheeling, W. Va, MAY a8, 1904.

wheeling, w. Va, May 2o, 1908.
Some years ago while at work, 1 fell
over a truck and severely injured both
of my shins. My blood became poisoned
as result, and the doctor told me
would have running sores for life, and
that if they were healed up the result
would be fatal. Under this discouraging
report left off their treatment and re-
sorted to the use of S. S. S. Its effects
were prompt and gratifying, 1t took
only short while for the medicine to en-.
tirely cure up the sores, ard am not
dead as the doctors intimated, nor have
the sores ever broke out again. Some IA
years have elapsed since what have de-
sctibed occurred. Having been so signally
benefited by its use 1 can heartily recon-.
mend it as the one great blood purifier.

BRO0KLYN BRIEFS.

-Workmen were busy today repair ing the railroad tracks over the Bank street trestle
 The axle of one of the trolley cars broke on Bank street this morning and it was stalled for about fifteen minutes.
 The residents expect much from the incoming administration, but would be thankful to receive a little notice from the men in office now.
 A few well known men of this section went hunting last evening, but luck was against them and all they captured were colds and couple of rabbits.
 "A very amusing and interesting sight this morning was that of a couple of bootblacks shooting craps" on Bank street. The boys appeared to be about II years of age, yet they seemed to know the game thoroughly and gazed anxiously as they shook the dice to see if the winning numbers would turn up.
 An interesting event took place in South Brooklyn this morning between fruit vendor and a woman to whom he was selling some of his goods. The woman bought nice basket of apples, as she thought, from the peddler, who took the cash and continued on his way. But shortly after, the buyer discovered that the basket had good apples on top only, and the remainder were of very poor quality. Quickly she scampered after the fellow and when she caught him coming from an- other house she gave him beautiful call down. The fruit seller tried to ap- pease the wrath of his victim, but she would not listen to him and compelled him to give her back the money. When she received the coin she threw the basket of apples into the street He went through all kinds of funny acts, but the woman gave him no sat isfaction but went to her home rejoic- ing over the fact that she got the bet ter of one of those wise fellows who endeavor each day to sell their goods for something better than what they are.
