Gated at that place, 100000 derived
from the sale of bonds for the pur.
chase of the "Hcth" site, ana further
to restrain the hoard from accepting
the money =.
Judge Mofntt rendered his decision
in the prescncc of the attorneys repre-
senting both sides in the injunction
proceedings and Informed them that
fl his opinion the board OF trustees Is
legally constituted body, that ac-
cording to the act of the Legislature
the members of the board had the
power to use their discretion as to the
selection Of site. and Furthermore
that the plaintiff had no legal grounds
for an Injunction in the matter. and
that he would deny the petition.

WHY SALVES FAIL
 TO CURE ECZEMA

Scientists are now agreed that the eczema germs are lodged not in the outer skin or epidermis, but in the inner skin. Hence, penetrating liquid is required, not an outward salve that clogs the pores.
 We recommend to all eczema patients the standard prescription Oil of Wintergreen as compounded in liquid form known as D. D. D. Pre- scription. A trial bottle of this D. D. D. Prescription, at only 9 cents will instantly relieve the itch. We have sold and recommended this remedy for years, and know of wonderful cures from it's use. We recommend it to our patrons.

 General Grant was preparing to make a movement by land to

 Drops of rain vary in their size per haps from twenty-ffth to a quarter of an inch in diameter. In parting from the clouds they precipitate their descent till the increasing resistance opposed by the air becomes equal to their weight, when they continue to fall with uniform velocity. This ve- Iocity is therefore in a certain ratio to the diameter of the drops; hence thunder and other showers in which the drops are large pour down faster than a drizzling rain. A drop of the twenty-fifth part of an inch in falling through the air would, when it had arrived at it's uniform velocity, ac- Quire celerity of only eleven and. q half feet per second, while one of a quarter of an inch would have a ve- locity of thirty-three and half feet.

POULTRY IN HIS BASS DRUM
UnIucI<y Drummer Had to Share His

 Prize With the Colonel.
 During the latter years of the wal the armies were frequently obliged tC make rapid marches without their pro vision trains and at other times were obliged to pass through devastated re giOns, where there was not the slight. est prospect of obtaining anything in the way of food. As a result of all Chis the men were constantly devisine ways and means of obtaining, secret ing and transporting food about their persons. /
 On one of the marches of the Army of the Cumberland the soldiers had orders not to forage. but as their ra- tions were rather lo,V it took sharp watching on; the part of the officers to prevent the men from foraging when ever the chance presented itself. On one occasion the bass drummer of one of the regftnental bands managed to secure two turkeys and six chickens, which he secretede in the interior of his bass drum. When they reached camp that evening the band was or
 
 had been arranged on the spur of the moment for distinguished officer. who had arrived on a visit. All this hap pened before the bass drummer had time to remove his live poultry from the inside of his drum, and, of course, when he struck it it gave forth no sound whatever. This exasperated the colonel, who shouted repeatedly to drum harder. Finally, in a great rage, he came down to where the latter stood pounding for dear life and sweat ing like field hand.
 Why in blank, blank, blank don't you beat that drum louder2" he shout ed.
 "Colonel," said the drummer in q voice husky with anguish, there's two turkeys and six chickens inside this drum, and half of them are for you" "Well, why in blazes didn't you say sop the colonel replied. "Fall out at once and go back to your quarters" !"
 As a matter of course the colonel subsequently shared in the .repast.
