Memorial Day Sermon

The Memorial sermon for o. d.
Pease Pust, G. A. R., was preached
Sunday morning at ST. Paul's Episco-
pal church by the rector, Rev. R. M.
Laurensen, the Post being nresent as
an organization. The reverend gentle
man took for his text, the words :
"Wheu the Holy Spirit is come, he
will convince the world of sin, right
eousness and judgment. -
In beginning his sermon, he called
attention to the. fact that it was
Whit Sunday, concentrating another
great event to both the church and
the world -Pentecosu, when the Holy
Spirit WAS given to he church through
the apostles and disciples to econ
vince the world uf sin, righteousness
and judgment. The day was duai
commemoration of both the Pentecost
and Memorial Day. He drew par
allel between the two events which
had had such an influence upon the
world and mankind, although nearly
nineteen hundred years intervened be-
tween the events. The Spirit of Truth
has been active in its convincing work
as is evidenced on all sides by works
of love and sacrifice, and the better
ment of mankind, morally and spirit
uallys and is still at work and will con-
tinue until the end
The Livil war came TO convince the
world of tbs sin of human slavery and
tu establish the righteouness of the
cause, but the judgment, oh. what
judgment! Nearly a million uf lives
sacrificed and billions of money. and
in the wake Of the struggle was left,
tears. pain. suffering and woe. Both
sections Of the country paid an awful
tribute, but slavery was abolish 81
and the land became free from a
blighting curse.
The sermon was eloquent and patri-
utic to a marked degree and left a
good impression upon those who heard
It-for tbs speaker dealt with the
spiritual side of his subjA,t and re-
Trained from narrowing the feelings
of his hearers.

Things to Forget

If you see a tall fellow ahead Of a
crowd
A leader of men, marching fearless
and proud,
Anc you know of a tale whose mere
telling aloud
Would cause his proud head to in
anguish be bowed.
It's pretty good plan to forget it.
If you know of a thing that will
darken the JOY
Of man or woman, a girl or boy.
That will wipe out smile, or the
least way annoy
A fellow, or cause any gladness to
cloy,
It's pretty good plan to fnrget it.

visited the city.
At the Turner opera huuse, Francis
O'Donnell, the great monologue en-

At the corner of Warren and West
Madison streets, the great Fazakerlev

no need for going hungry for amuse-
ment on that evening.

CENSUS CLERICAL FORCE.
Civil Service Commission Wants
Western People to Apply.

Washington, Oct. S.-The United
States civil service commission an
nounces that a very small proper
ton OF the applications thus far fill
ed for the examination to be held on
October 23rd next for positions in
the census bureau, are from the res
idents of the more distant states.
As the census act provides for the
apportionment among the states
and territories in accordance with
the law of apportionment, the com
mission call attention to the fact that
present indications are that these
distant states will probably fail to
receive their full share of the APP
pointments, unless more residents
of such states apply for the eXamin-
alton
1t is expected that about three
thousand appointments will be made
from the examination which is
scheduled to be held on October 23d,
1909, in all the states and territor-
les. These appointments will be for
terms of six months to two years,
and will average one year in length
The entrance salary will be 5000 per
annum. and promotion TO at least
5000 per annum will be reasonably
rapid for those who render satisfac-
tory service.
Under the census law selections
from the eligible register will be
made in the order of rating and in
accordance with the law of appor-
tionment, so that all persons will
have an equal chance of appoint
ment.
Applicants must be between the
age of IS and so years, except thaA
persons honorably discharged from
the military or naval service, by reaz
son of disability resulting from
wounds or sickness incurred in the
line of duty, may be examined with
out regard to age, and except that
boys who have reached the age of
16 years and have not reached the
age of l 8 years, will be permitted to
take the examination, and if they
pass. will be eligible for appoint
ment as messenger boys only,

Municipal Ownership.

San Antonio, Texas, Oct. S.-May-
or Callahan's plan to have the city
operate the street paving plant it
recently acquired has not been en-
tirelv without opposition. Parties
opposed to municipal ownership on
the ground that it is wrong in prin-
ciple were in favor of getting the
plant into operation by renting II
out to contractors to whom the paw
ing of the streets was TO be entrust-
ed.
But Bryan Callahan is a great
deal of a Missourian and likes to be
shown. This being the case he found
that the city could beat the offer or
the Bithulithic Paving company OF
Dallas by several nickels per square
yard and having convinced the city
council of this will have his own way
now. The Dallas firm offered to lay
down bithulithic pavements at
rate Of s1.75 per square yard with

ARE THE MICROBES IN YOUR
SCALP?
1t Has Been Proved That Microbes
Cause Badness.

Professor Unna of Hamburg, Ger
many. and DR.. Sabourand, the lead
ing French dermatologist, discover
ed that a microbe causes badness.
Their theory has time and again
been amply verified through research
experiments carried on under the OBJ
servation of eminent scientists. This
mcrobe lodges in the Sebun which
is the natural hair oil, and when
permitted to flourish it destroys the
hair follicles and in time the pores
entirely close, and the scalp gradual
ly takes on shiny appearance.
When this happens there is no hope
of the growth OF hair being revived.
Dandruff is a contagious disease,
which is largely due to a destructive
microbe. which when left to pursue
its course causes itching scalp, fall
ing hair and badness. Dandruff is
caused by the microbe affecting the
glands which produce the sebaceous
matter, which latter then unnatural
ly dries up and scales off.
We have a remedy which will, We
honestly believe, remove dandruff,
eXrerminate the miCrobe, promote
good circulation in the scalp and

IN FAVOR OF RAILROAD.
Verdict Is Returned by jury on Per-
emptory instructions.


The trial of the case of G.. T. Far
mer against the International and
Great Northern railroad came to an
end Thursday afternoon when the
jury returned a verdict in favor of
the railroad on peremptory instruc-
lions from the court. The trial of
the case was commenced early in
the week. The amount sought to be
recovered was about $3.50. The
plaintiff alleged that he was injured
by falling through sidewalk on the
.companys right of way in Italy. The
accident occurred near the depot. In
the trial of the case the evidence
showed that the sidewalk was con-
structed and maintained by the town
Of Italy. The question as to the
roads liability for damages was ar
gued at some length Thursday by
the attorneys on each side. At the
conclusion of the argument Judge
Hawkins held that the road was not
liable and instructed the jury to re-
turn verdict in favor of the com
pany.
