In Memory.

Our Heavenly Father in his wisdom
and goodness, has called from Mount
Zion Sunday school one ofour brightest
and most useful members. Never was
the thought that death loves shining
mark" more fully exemplifed than
when Mrs. j. ]. Roberts, our dear
teacher, was called from her work on
earth to our Fathers mansions. One
of the most unselfish, the most thought
full, and therefore the most useful mem
Der Of our Sunday school was selected
and sent Where no storms ever beat
on that glittering strand, while the
years OF eternity ROLL ("
With more than ordinary intellectual
ability, a heart full of the love of God,
she went about her work with an en-
thusiasm not often seen She never
wavered in her devotion to her work,
and just to be with her was an inspira-
ton to live higher, nobler life. While
we mourn for the voice that is silent for
ever and the form that will be seen no
more, her sweet spirit still remains in
our hearts and will abide forever. We
cannot see why one SO useful should be
taken from our midst We bow in
humble submission to our Fathers will,
trying to say in our hearts Thy will be
done.7 The church, Sunday school
and community have sustained a
grievious loss therefore be it resolved:
1. That we thank our Heavenly
Father for such life, and that such
teacher lived among us.
2. That we emulate her example of
untiring devotion to duty and endeavor
to carry out the work she wished done.
3. That we tender her bereayed hus-
band, sons and daughters our heart

resolutions be sent to the grief-stricken
family also to the Union City papers for

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union met in regular session at the
hospitable home OF Mr.. and Mrs. George
Nagle Friday, the 21st inst, with good
attendance The program previously
published was impressively carried out.
II was made very clear to the minds Of
all present that Alcohol was Brain
Poison. Every poison has a select
affinity for some one part Of the body
above all others. For instance the
poison Of lead likes the muscles Of the
wrist; mercury the salivary glands;
manganese the liver; tobacco the heart;
strychnine the spinal cord; whereas
alcohol strikes the brain. This places
alcohol at the top Of the list as the most
serious and dangerous poison ofall those
mentioned, because it has the strongest
affinity for the brain, which is the most
vital and sensitive part of the human
body-the home OF the mind
Why does alcohol like the brain best?
Recent investigations By Prof. Hans
Meyer Of the University OF Vienna, CON
,tlrmcd by other noted specialists, show
tint nerve substance contains larger
proportion Of fat than other tissues;
that all the substances called narcotics
are able to dissolve Cat They enter into
loose chemical combination with the
fifty constituents 81 the cells aud inn
mediately inhibit the vital process Of the
cells 1t is also well understood that
alcohol has peculiar selective affinity
for some cells over others; that In the
case 81 the babitual moderate use Of
alcohol some cells become more or less
seriously impaired, while in the So.
called excessive use of it some cells 60
into permanent degeneracy and finally
become totally destroyed. No power
can be invoked to replace it by normal
cell It is gone forever No one can
go on impairing the brain cells con-
tinuously, without finally impairing the
mental faculties residing in the cells.
1t is we'll known that alcohol taken con-
tinuously in very small doses depresses
the higher faculties first OF all judgment,
conscience and will, afterward letting
loose the lower and animal impulses to
run riot in mans body, so that he comes
at last to do what he would not other
wise think Of doing.
Prof. Kraepelin, of Vienna, became
converted from moderate drinker into
a total abstainer when he discovered by
actual demonstrations how small

tinues to drink, he turns away from

PARIS, Aug. 3.-American initia'
tive in unrestricted arbitration was
crowned today by the signing of the
treaty of permanent peace by the
terms of which France and the
United States agree 70 submit to a
neutral court all differences that
may arise between the two govern
ments, even though dignity and honor
and vital interests Of either republic
may be involved.
The ceremony of afiXing the sig.
nature to the unprecedented docu-
ment was simplicity in itself but
marked with solemnity reflected in
the faces of those who had the honor
to take part.
They met at the ministH of for
eign affairs in the office of A. Moll'
ard, chief protocrat.
The treaty was signed by Jean Jules
Jusserand, French ambassador to the
United States. A copy of the treaty
was signed and will be forwarded i'm
mediately to Washington in exchange
for a copy signed at the American
capitol, this afternoon by Philander
C. Knox, secretary of state.
The government has definitely de-
cided not to publish the text of the
treaty until it has been given out in
Washington.

consideration of much business. In
canvassing the returns drought in by
county officers, and there are more
than fifty here, the board finds that
instructions have not been followed
by the local assessors and as a con-
sequence tie board will find itself as
much in the dark this year as last
wien considering certain kinds of
property which should have been ap-
praised separately. The kind re-
ferred to is as follows: Mills, ele.
vators, water, gas, electric light and

in the state. The local assessors ap.
praise this class of property as real
