feeling that it is more Indicative of the
fact that there was some quiet influ-
ence at work to put the committee in
a position of antagonism to the mem
bers of the Newspaper Publishers as
ISOLATION who addressed it.
OF course the committee, being Re-
publican, did not wish the question of
the tariff reopened through the demand
of the newspaper publishers for free
paper and free pulp. That is matter
of notoriety.
But here is another suggestion which
has been made I'm Washington and
which is not without its FEASIBILITY
/ The papers that are suffering from
taiis wood pulp tariff are the one cent
papers of large circulation. usually
Democratic. The suggestion is made
that such papers as John r. McLean's

and his Washington Post at 3 cents a
! copy, the New York Herald at 3 cents
/ a copy, the New York Sun at = cents.

to the committee considering the paper

! at any rate. is the story that comes to
me, and it may be worth consideration
by The people. Either there must be q
reduction in the price of print paper or
the readers of newspapers will have to
pay cents where they now pay 1.

ECZEMA FORTY YEARS.

Iwant to tell you the great
good I received from the use of
8. S. s. I am now rs years old
and had suffered with Eczema
for forty years, and could find
nothing to cure me until I tried
s. 8. 8. I suffered intensely
with the itching and burning;
pustules would form from
which there flowed a sticky
fluid; crusts would come on the
skin, and when scratched OF,
the skin was left as raw as a
piece of beef. I suffered agony
the long years I was afflicted,
but when I used s. s. 8 found
a perfect cure. There has
never been any return of the
trouble. G. H. EVANS.

GOOD TESTIMONY

Here is te>tiuon! from Nj y. W.
Benning, secretary o; the y. VI. c y.
at Two Harbors, MINI. Who ha> been
the manager OF the lyceum course in
that city for some years; Il am thor
oughly convinced Slat lyceum course
is splendid thing for any community.
We all need a certain amount OF good
entertainment and this the lyceum
provides, along with good lectures
which are bound TO uplift the minds
OF the people. In our city one lecture
that was given on our course last
season has been talked about con-
stantly and has been OF great value to
our community intellectually"
We are told here that one lecture
has been OF great benefit TO the in
tellectual life of that community. l.
IL possible then TO estimate the intel
lectual value Of the thousands OF fine
lectures that are being delivered every
year throughout our country ou Ly-
the whole intellectual life Of the com
munity has been changed and for the
better. decidedly, by a Lyceum course
in a few years.
And this from Mr. Il. c. Mathwig,
who is president OF the Lyceum
Association OF Warren, MINI: We
can mention one item OF special i'm
portance: the public taste in the mat
ter of entertainment has been changed
to appreciate lectures. During the
first year Of our course a lecture was
not well attended, during the second
season there was an improvement in
this respect, and at the present time
we can I'LL the house, provided the
lecturer is in the class that deserves
hearing and has message for our
audience. The musical talent We
have secured from the bureaus of late
years, has displaced, TO considerable
extent, the cheaper class OF amuse-
ments, that had the entire field few
years ago. Our course is receiving the
support Of the citizens OF Warren to a
degree that Is very encouraging. The
real value Of a well conducted
lyceum course, for any community, is
a matter that cannot be estimated in
dollars"

FROST NIPS 'EM

The cantaloupe season was at its
heighth and carloads upon carloads
Of the juicy fruit were being sent out
daily and many growers were just
preparing to start their harvest when
sudden change in the weather on
Saturday night put damper on the
whole industry.
The weather was threatening all
day Saturday and at times snow flakes
filled the air; the thermometer drop
ped out Of sight and we not only had
frost, but a severe freeze. Ice
formed quarter OF an inch thick and

take down his stove last Spring for a
little heat was welcome all day, Sum-
day. Mercury again went down dur
ing the night and thermometers
registered about the same as on Sat-
urday. Tomatoes suffered severely
and the cantaloupe crop was supposed
TO have perished entirely. However,
only the ripest melons were rendered
unfit for shipment and the growers
are expressing quantities of them this
week. Their flavor is even better
since the freeze. and ought to bring
for them an increased price in the
markets.
Many OF the growers failed to realize
anything more than what their fields
brought for seed as their crop was
planted late and did not mature be.
fore the freeze.
The last carload shipment was
made yesterday by the Ordway Can
taloupe association, closing the season
few days earlier than last year.
A total Of ITO cars has been shipped
up to date this season In addition to
an equivalent Of six carloads by local
express.
