 Granbury. Texas. April 10. Dear Mrs. Thompson:
 am a member of our State Commit tee on "Soldiers' Graves in Battlefields and National Cemeteries.' Will you kindly refer me to those who nave charge of these battledelds? This means. of course, in your State where our Texas Confederates are buried
 I shall appreciate your kindness if you will write me in regard to this matter.
 Most cordially yours.
 Mrs J. H. Doyle. Member Committee on Confederates Graves in Battlefields.
 The ladies of the Memorial Associa- tion are grieving for the loss of bound volume of music containing large number of Confederate songs, upon which they have been accustomed to rely very. largely ;n making out their programs for public occasions. The collection was made fy Mrs. M ID. Bibb and her name is printed on the outside. It is thought that perhaps 1t may have been borrowed Ey some other organization when preparing for pub lie entertainment, and forgotten. All members of Montgomery Chapters and other Confederate societies are re- ouested to aid the ladies in their efforts to recover this valued relic, by careful ly looking over their book shelves and music stands to see if by any accident it should have been left there. If any one is fortunate enough to find 1t. they will confer a great favor by returning the volume to Mrs. M. D. Bibb, or Mrs John D. Carter.

ALMOST A SOLID SORE.
Skin Disease from Birth-Fortune
Spent on Her Without Benefit
Cured Her with Cuticura.

81 have a cousin in Rockingham Co.
who once had a skin disease from her
birth until she was six years of age.
Her father had spent fortune on
her to get her cured and none of the
treatments did her any good. Old
DR.. G. suggested that he try the
Cuticura Remedies which he did.
When he commenced to use it the
child was almost a solid scab. He
had used it about two months and
the child was well. i was there when
they commenced to use your Cuti-
cura Remedies. I stayed that week
and then returned home and stayed
two weeks and then went back and
stayed with them two weeks longer,
and when / went home could hardly
believe she was the same child. Her
skin was as soft as a baby's with
out scar on it. 1 have not seen her
in seventeen years, but I have heard
from her and the last time heard from
her she was well. Mrs. w. p. Ingle, Bur-

OLD CAPT. cAck's QUESTION.
Somewhat Pointed, But 1t Denoted
Quick Intelligence.

Pierce Jay. the commissioner OF
panks of Massachusetts,, at the Ameri-
can Bankers associations convention
in ST. Louis, advocated better ac-
counting system.
But above ALL" said Mr. Jay, In
a discussion of his idea, I'VE want
intelligence, if embezzlement is to be
thoroughly put down. Systems are
good, but intelligence is better, and
IN cashiers and tellers and book
keepers and note clerks we want the
same keen, quick intelligence that
characterized old Capt Hiram Cack,
of Gloucester.
"Cack lay very ill. One day he got
down-hearted, feeling that his case
was hopeless.
"I fear. DOCTOR he said. there isn't
much hope for me-
"sOh, yes, there is the doctor an
swered Three years ago I was in
your condition precisely, and look at

Safe, Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet de-
vised has so fully and Unquestionably
met these three prime conditions as
successfully as Allcock's Plasters.
They are safe because they contain
no deleterious drugs and are manu-
featured upon scientific principles of
medicine. They are sure because
nothing goes into them except ingre-
dents which are exactly adapted to
the purposes for which a plaster is re-
quired. They are speedy in their ac-
ton because their medicinal qualities
go right to their work of relieving
pain and restoring the natural and
healthy performance of the functions
of muscles, nerves and skin.
Allcock's Piasters are the original
and genuine porous plasters and like
most meritorious articles have been
extensively initiated. therefore always
make sure and get the genuine

Latest Kansas Events.
Pension Fund for Teachers.

In his biennial report State Super
intendent L. L. Dayhoff will recon-
mend that the legislature establish a
pension system for aged school teach
ers- According to Superintendent Day
hoffs plan it would not cost the state
a cent. 1t would be possible, he thinks
to raise fund by taxing the teachers
in the state a certain per cent of their
salaries, the tax to be paid voluntar-
ily- Kansas pays its teachers about
100000 annually and Superintend-
ent Dayhoff's estimates that if one
half of the teachers become interested
in his plan and contribute one per cent
of their salaries the fund will have
$4,000 at the end of the first year
This amount would make it possible
to pay $500 in annuities- 1t is Super
intendent Dayhoff's plan to have only
the interest on the fund used as annu-
tiles for teachers.

custom of his people To have a formal
betrothal for three months. The Ii
cense in their view, is necessary for
the betrothal, which is binding with
them as the wedding itself. AS a Ii
cense is returnable in thirty days, it
will have to be renewed three times
before the marriage is actually per
formed.

a strictly drug business since 1891. The

it sufficiently to make itpay, it having
changed ownership four times. The
present proprietor started out with
the old policy, but decided it will pay
better to have a permit than to be
