Will Mark an Epoch.
In his peroration Prof. Christie
stated that the course would mark an
epoch in the history Of agriculture in
this county. He is confident that a
great interest has been instilled into
the minds Of the young men in agri-
cultural, and the young women in do
nestle science. He declared the course
would result in the creation of better
business men among the farmers and
that it would directly result in the re-
moval Of any petty jealousies which

Enjoy Your Meals
BY Simply Eating a Little Pleasant
Tablet After Each Of Them,
A TABLET DiGEsfs A MEAL.

When digestion is perfect the fluids
necessary to this process come natur-
ally to the aid Of the stomach They
are of right proportion and do their
work speedily and well. When indi-
gestion and dyspepsia are prevalent,
these same juices come slowly if at
all, are weak and insufficient or are
filled with strong acids and alkalies
When such a condition exists each
meal is hardship upon the digestive
organs. The meal should strengthen
the juices, but on the contrary it weak
ems them, SO that man by the very
sact of eating causes conditions to
arise which Of themselves bring him
pain and loathing for the next meal.
BY eating one of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets you mix the tablet with your
saliva and it goes into your stomach
a strong. vigorous fluid, many times
more powerful than the natural di-
gestive juices. These tablets are
made up from natural vegetable and
fruit essences and are composed from
Hydrastis, Golden Seal. Lactose, Nux.
Ascetic Pepsin, Bismuth and Jamaica
Ginger. There is the formula and one
grain of it will digest 5000 grains of
food in any stomach. Beside digest
ing the food it will give the blood the
power to enrich the digestive fluids
SO after time nature will take care
Of itself.
Though you have no stomach trouble
one OF these tablets after each meal
is a powerful assistance to nature and
is an excellent habit to make.
Go to any druggist and ask his opin-
ion of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. We

COUNCILS RESOLUTION.

At the last meeting of the common
council of this town resolution was
discussed and passed unanimously
praying the legislature to do some
thing in connection with the cities
and towns bill which will lessen the
cost of salaried officials to the city.
As everyone knows there Is before the
legislature a bill to change the pres
ent condition OF cities fathered by
Stotsenberg
II may easily be that the legislature
will pass this bin as it has gone
through the senate and been favorab-
~ reported in the lower branch. In
that case the bill will become q Law

and we shall have to swallow it wheth
err it meets with local approval or
not
According to the local sentiment it
does not seem to matter much just
what is done SO long as the expenses
are cut down. Everyone has a diff
ferent scheme. No one man in coun-
Gil the other night had the same views
on the subject. One would abolish
the office Of controller, another the
city treasurer, another would put the
two together, still others would abol-
ish the board of works and vice-versa
all through the list of officials.
1t is quite probable that the various
opinions on the matter as expressed
by the common council are fairly rep
resentative of the views Of the citizens
of Richmond. They are certainly rep
resentative, when they speak of reduc-
ing the number of salaried officials.
1t would seem that it were foolish
to have two sets of men to take care
of the citys business, for in many
points the work of council and the
board of works parallel each other.
There may also be some question as
to the value of three councilmen at
large. The man who has the most
to do is the controller And this office
seems to be about to be eliminated
by the Stotsenberg bill And so the
| affair runs.
There is only one thing which
| needs emphasis. That is that all I'M
| necessary cost be eliminated and that
this town go on record as opposed to
the needless expenditure of money
| for salaries. In a large municipality
| there may be need for a variegated
system such as is provided.
But Richmond has no need for many
departments subdivided into infinitesi-
| NAL completely. The simpler the sys-
| tenn the better. Those who actually
do the most work should have the larg-
est salaries and then it is up to the
| people to see that the men are capable
and do the work. The people can if
they will get capable men to do the
city's business, but they can not in
crease or lower the cost of salaried Of
ficials. That is why determined
stand must be taken if we are to de-
crease the cost of the government.
The Palladium believes and hopes
that after experimentation the towns
and cities of the state will find that the
present system and notifications
thereof are too ineffective and expens.
i've. The most modern plan is the
Galveston and DesMoines plan of gov.

advantage of giving the people chance
to intervene when things are not thei,

1t is true that the Des Moines plar
does not remove city government from
politics. For in the city of DesMoines

ADVERT lSEMENT
To the Editor of the
Richmond Palladium:

On tuesday, Jan. 26. 1903, the following appeared
in the editorial columns of the Richmond Item:
'Hagerstown has today blind tiger that is equal to
any saloon that she voted out Boys getting drunk
in Jefferson township that did before. and more Of
them are drinking. We have information from fathers
of that community who know whereof they speak, Where
is the public sentiment there?"
The information given concerning the sale and use of
intoxcants in Hagerstown and Jefferson township since
the saloons closed charged in the above extract is
greatly exaggerated. The conditions are many times
better since the saloons have closed.
