There are hundreds Of thousands OF
people all over this blessed country OF
ours who have been cured If obstinate,
chronic diseases through the use Of DR.
Piercc's Medicines and it Is only natural
that such people should rise up and Spra /;
their sentiments pretty freely when DIR.
Pierce and his medicines are so unjustly
attacked.
These grateful patients of DR.. Pierce
are to be found in almost every hamlet
and county village. aud in the farm
houses and mechanics cottages in every
nook and corner Of this great country.
Common gratitude prompts such people
to stand mp and defend D-. Pierce and
his medicines against unjust and ma
licious attacks.
DIR. Pirrrc's Medicines have been on
sale in drug stores all over this country
and in many foreign lands for more than
forty years and yet their sale continues

they were not remedies Of more than
ordinary merit.
WHAT DO THEY CURE?

advertised as Cure All but admirably

Thirly.fWO Million Education.

John d. Rockefeller has given
to the General Education Board
the sum of thirty-two million dol
lars. This with the eleven thous-
and already donated makes a to-
tai Of forty three million dollars.
The Board OF the Rockefeller
foundation has adopted these
principles for its guidance:
ITO cooperate sympatheticaIIy
aud helpfIlly with the several re-
ligious denominations; to select
as far as practicable centres OF
population and wealth as the per.
mauent pivots OF an educational
system. to mass its gifts on en-
dowmcnt."
This summary of the govern
ing rules OF the Boards work was
given out by Mr.. Battrick, the
secretary. 1t was further stated
that of FIVE hundred or more COL
leecs in the United States, more
than four hundred colleges were
directly established by the several
religious denominations, f(ty five
BY the several States aud less
than fifty by other agencies. OF
the latter number many were es.
tablished by organizations cf
Christians not directly connected
with any particular communion.
II is the judgment of the Board
that since the several Christian
communions give so much atten
ton to the promotion of higher
education. Such an agency ready
at hand should receive the Boards
heartiest cooperation. THE Trim

Wilmington Dispatch: 1t looks
very much as if Wilmington is 60
ing to have a yearly fair. A perma.
rent fair association is now about
certain. In fact, it is al arranged
for and twenty leading business men
have been selected as directors and
have started that they will take stock
in such an association and also have
expressed themselves as being enthu-
siastic over the matter. The move
ment has been under way for some
time. but now it is about certain that
the object will be successfully attain
ed. The special committee appoint
ed by the chamber of commerce to
see about the agricultural fair for
this spring decided, as was noted in
yesterday afternoons Dispatch. not
to try for the fair this year, but to
try for the one in 1905 The commit
tee also decided to advocate the per-
manent fair and will so report to the
chamber. Prominent business men
then interested themselves and in
making a canvass of sentiment and
support for yearly fair met with
fiatteripg success. Twenty influential
men who received the proposition en-.
Enthusiastically and declared at once
that they would take stock were Sc.
lected for directors. In the near flu.
ture 1t is hoped to get these directors
together and to further all plans;
then elect officers. The idea will be
to hold fair every year, securing
suitable grounds and erecting the
proper buildings. The grounds could
a'so be used for athletic purposes and
would prove of valuable nature. A
fair for Wilmington will mean a big
thing and the people should advocate
the matter strongly and substantial

VANCOUVER, b. c., Aug. 81. .-Gen. A.
W. Greedy, commander Of the depart
ment of Columbia, has returned from
Alaska, where he went to inspect the
military posts.
Gen. Greely found the posts generally
in good condition "One thing, however,
he said, 1--WE should have in the army and
that is the canteen in every post. 1t Is
absolutely impossible to compel the men
to abstain from the use ofliquor and as
they will have it 1t is infinitely better
that it should be in the post under proper
regulations"
Gen. Greedy cites as an illustration
woman who maintains resort near the
post at St. Michaels. He says she gets
out of the Jurisdiction of the local author
tiles by going out to the harbor and
maintaining place on barge. AS q
result she has almost demoralized the
discipline of the soldiery.
He says: 81 have known of liquor be-

hunting season in the South Dakota prai-

sent west with the two young men.
