AS TO THE NINE-MONTHS TERM.

E. ]. Frederick and D. H. Mason,
who were appointed committee to
investigate as to the necessity of a
special assessment to carry the Cow
ington school nine months, have not
yet secured all the necessary data
upon which to base a report; but as
far as the investigation has been car
ried, it seems probable that nine
months term can be given to Coving-
ton without asking for the special as
sessment. They expect to report Of
ficially in few days.

EPIDEMIC OF ITCH IN WELSH
VILLAGE

"1n Dowlais, South WaEas, about if-
teen years ago, families were strick-
en- wholesale by a disease known as
the itch. Believe me, it is the most
terrible disease of it's kind that I
know Of, as, it itches all through your
body and makes your life an inferno.
Sleep is out of the question and you
feel as if a million mosquitoes were
attacking you at the same time. I
knew a dozen families that were SO
affected.
"The doctors did their best, but
their remedies were of no avail what
ever. Then the families tried a drug
gist who was noted far and wide for
his remarkable cures. People came
to him from all parts Of the country
for treatment, but his medicine made
matters still worse, as a last resort
they were advised by a friend to use
the Cuticura Remedies. I am glad to
tell you that after a few days treat
ment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and R%esolvent, the effect was wonder
full and the result was a perfect cure
in all cases.
81 may add that nv three brothers,
three sisters, myself and all our FAM
lilies have been users of the Cuticura
Remedies for fifteen years. Thomas
Hugh, 1850 West Huron ST., Chicago,

An Easy Fit.

A number of years ago there lived
in northern New Hampshire a notori-
Gus woman-hater. 1t was before the
day of ready-made clothing, and want
ing a new. suit, he was obliged to take
the material to the village tailoress.
She took his measurements, and when
she cut the coat, made a liberal al
lowance ON each seam.
The mans dislike of women in gen
eral prevented his having a fitting.
He took the finished garment without
trying 1t n 1t was much too large,
and his disgust was apparent in the
answer he made to the friendly loafer
on his first visit to the post office,
when he wore the despised article.
Got a new coat, Obed?" said the
loafer.
MOL hain't!" said Obed. "T've got
eve yards Of cloth wrapped round
me."-Youth's Companion.

the C~2nnonball to a stop at the sta

functory remark. He went through
the gate with me, and with five min

in the train shed. My mind had slid

A HOT ARGUMENT

Politics are warming up in town
and blood is on the moon. Shortly
after noon today George B. Russell.
l.. l.. Hudson and Bob Skaggs met
In front of the postoffice and got
into an argument. Finally M.
Hudson said that John and Charley
Henderson, f. E. Caine and the
editor of the Independent were
hlrelings of he Southern Pacific
and that Charley Henderson was
the attorney for the Southern
Pacific and told the other three
what to do and they did it. George
resented this remark and Mr.. Hud-
son then told him he was one of the
bunch. George replied to this by
blow straight from the shoulder
that laid Mr.. Hudson ,on his back
IN the street. George stumbled and
fell down and Skaggs made a break
for him, but George got to his feet
and was ready to receiTe him.
Bob vidently reconsidered and
begged George not to strike him as
he was sick man. George told
MIN he was ready to fight him tnen
or at any time, and Bob said he
would be ready in three days.
This will carry the matter over till
Tuesday noon.
With the trouble between
Mr.. HIlson, Mr.. Skaggs
and Mr.. Russell the writer has
nothing to do, except in-so far as
he was mentioned by Mr.. Hud. on
as being Southern Pacific hireling
and being controlled by Chally
Henderson in the conduct of this
pf per So far as that assertion is
concerned il is a wilful, malicious
lie and the man no uttered it is
a wilIfIl, malicious, contemplate
liar.
We have always treated MIR.
Hu ison with the utmost rcsrect
and courtesy and he repays that
treatment by willful and malicious
ISLANDERS uttered at the bidding of
Bob Skaggs. If he chooses to
that course of conduct
toward us. he must expect the
treatment editors generally accord
