The friends of Mrs. Kenneth w McNeil are waiting for her return from Palm Beach to extend to her their hearty congratulations, because of the recovery of her costly jewels, which were lost, but have been fouI.d u. When Mrs. McNeil started for Palm Beach, some weeks since, she took with her the cases in which her JeW- els are ordinarily contained.

 At meeting of the Republican Con gressional committee last week, sever al of the near insurgents jumped on Cannon and declared that he must be eliminated before the campaign for the good of the party. Cannon, who was present, replied in a bitter voice that he might have considered such a proposition at the beginning of this session Of Congress but things had talk en such a, turn that he could not take such a course now.

the LYCEuM LECTURE COURSE CLOSED.

The Lyceum lecture course wi h
the Alkahest System of Atlanta, nm
der the local sponsorship of O. Back
strom, G. E. Anding and Nat Owen,
wound up Monday night with Mr.. W.
Powell Hale, the Impersonator. Hale
gave his audience quite charming
Entertainment, it was not rough or
peppery at all like that class Of dis
turbance Of the elements, which bis
name describes. He is a youugish
looking fellow and well drilled in his
profession. His appeals to the boys
in several pieces in which Mother,
Home and Heaven were either one
or the other or all the central theme,
proclaimed him an artist capable Of
directing the mind to the lOftiest
sentiment which can heave the hu
man breast, for what more exalted
can human thought and influence our
action that those that group about
Mother, Home and Heaven, the til
tie by the way OF priceless book
which should be at every fireside in
the land. We are glad that Hale
was also chaste speaker as it keeps
US on fidget when hearing an un-
known pIatformist for fear he will
cross over the line into the realm Of
unquestionabie language and thought
projection. AS we have stated be-
fore in personal converse and posi-
bly, in these columns, we sincerely
believe that Lyceum lecture courses
can be made d valuable VI hicle for
rendering country life, more livabie.
Lets have more of them, aud let's
don t be afraid of being too critical
in selecting tn" talent.

The PEOPLES FORUM.
THE D0G.SHEeP DISPUTE.
Much Words. Few II ANY Points.

Dear Editor and its many readers:
VIII let me come once more with
a few questions on this matter Of
Dog and Sheep. Mr.. Sheep man S
friend said in his letter the people
was here in the beginning of the
world and they was taxed and that
is so but if man was trying to full
I'll the Lord works he would not
think about taxing the dogs because
the Bible teaches us that not to have
the worth of dog in the house OF
the Lord.
Mr.. Sheep mans Friend said if the
dog men would read their Bibles
more etc. l don't expect the sheep
men reads their Bibles much. Mr..
Sheep man S friend don't think the
wild cats killed sheep in punches.
He said he knew the wild cats to kill
a whole flock in a night but if he was
down here l doubt but the wild cats
would catch him. | don't think and
never will that right to tax the dogs.
OF course if all the people would give
everything up just to the sheep men
| expect they would be pleased very
much, but it will never be.
l saw Mr.. Sheep man s friend said
| must want the woods full of dogs,
but he is mistaken, as for my part
had just as soon have the woods full
of dogs as to have them full OF sheep.
OF course know the sheep was here
in the first foundation, but think
the Lord was sorry he made such a
sorry thing as sheep. Just to give
my idea about sheep, I never saw q
sheep man in my life that didn' t
want every sheep in the world and
wanted everybody to kill their dogs
and hogs for the sake OF their sheep.
Say MIR. Sheep Mans friend, what
is your full name? Have you got a
name or not? Is your name Sheep
mans Friend, Peter, Bill or Frank
1t looks like you would sign your
right name in your letters. Please
et Mir. Editor put your name in
your next round, put it down in big
letters. Do you own any sheep?

TIL MIDDLE AGED MAN.
Why He Thinks 1t Is Rheumatism
That Bothers Him and Not Gout.

Can anybody tell me-" said the
middle aged man, 1.-The difference
between rheumatism and govt?
Now, not being very well versed in
medical science, knowing very little
in fact about osteology or therapeu-
tics or anatomy, materia medica or
pharmacopoea, / wouldn't undertake.
myself offhand to say; but in gen.
eral way | would say that govt is
an ailment that attacks the rich and
rheumatism the poor; and, being
not what you would call rich man,
l suppose what I've got is rheuma-
tism.
Il have read in novels and seen
pictures of portly gentlemen of mid
die age or rather more who sat IN
great easy chairs and with one foot
all swathed up in bandages stretched
out in front of them supported on a
foot rest. This is the old gentleman,
living in a fine old manor house OF
in a splendid mansion in town, who
is described in the novel as being
testy and cho.eric-choleric, as l un-
derstand it, meaning not that he has
cholera or anything of that sort but
an uneven temper; and this old gen
tleman with foot thus done up in
bandages and supported on foot
rest has govt.
But several of my symptoms are
different. l don't live in an old
manor house, nor in mansion in
town; and however disposed / might
be to be testy and choleric, ! have
to keep my temper, and l don't
swath my foot in bandages and re-
cline it on foot rest l have to
keep more or less on the move.
so ! suppose that in the absence
of the familiar govt symptoms we
might safely diagnose my case as
one of just plain rheumatism; but
I guess my rheumatism hurts me
about as much as the govt of our
testy and choleric old friend hurts
him."
