No Need to Experiment With Stafford
 Springs Evidence at Hand.
 There are many we'll advertised kid ney remedies on the market to-day, but none so we'll recommended-non so Stafford Springs recommended as Doan's Kidney. Pills.
 Read this Stafford Springs case:
 Mrs Q. Burell, Silver St., says: : "S6me time ago had very severe attack of back ache, directly over my kidneys. One morning couldn't get out of bed. my back was so lame and sore,s and had to be helped up. Every move I made my back would hurt and to do any housework caused me real agony. One box of Doan's Kidney Pills, which got at the Eaton Drug Store, gave me great relief. con. tinuell using them until had taken three boxes and they entirely rid me of the trouble. ''
 Price 6Oc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Burell had. Foster MilbuTn Co. Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y.

cHAuTAuouA NEXT WEEK.

The Ohautauqua will open next Tuesday and will close Saturday even- ing. There will be lectures by famous men and women and an attractive program by noted artists at the after moon and evening sessions each day. The complete program will be found on page two. Stafford is to have a week of education and entertainment Iof the very best at a. price for the week at less than it would cost to go to city for one entertainment. It is expected that there will be other at. fractions not on the regular program.
 The season tickets at $2 for adults land s for children may be purchased up to the opening hour of the Chautauqua These tickets will ad- init to all of the ten entertainments. and as the regular price of admission is 35 cents for afternoon and 50 cents for evening there will be great say. ing in buying season ticket before the opening. The price of admission of children is 25 cents at any session. As the 50 guarantors are responsibl for the sale of 500 tickets ut $2, all purchasers of season tickets also help to remove this obligation. We are requested to state that according to the contract all season tickets not sold must be returned to the association at the time of the opening.

 There are now three. search lights on the Hyde park house which shine down into the park and keep it pretty kwell illuminated during the night. The committee are planning to put more lights on the house and to arrange those which are already up to little better advantage. Also they are putting up a gate at the entrance to the park. This is to be of oobble stone posts with an illuminated sign reading Hyde park. All these improvements will make the park more beautiful and attractive to the | OA bAAG bOWA 0AO abOAoOO to the park.

THE AMERICAN GIRL"
ON ST. PATR|Ck'S DAY
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS WILL
PRESENT FROHMAN PLAY
AT ARMORY

Tom Lennon came up from Nohly
last week and commenced to get q
bunch of our local people in shape Cor
the rendition of play called "The
American Girl" to BE produced at tie
Armory on Saturday Evening, Mf,r Il
18th. As has been the custom for tho
past seven years the members of St
Josephs Church have always given
some kind of a play on St. Patrick'l
night and this year will be no excep
tion to the rule.
The American Girl is one Of the
strongest plavs that was ever at
tempted by any company either anna.
teur or professional but as our local
people have had SO much experierc G.
in that line it goes without saying
that there is dramatic treat in store
for Williston theatre goers. Tom
Lennon stands almost without pier
as coach and we predict big house
for the "American Girl"
The knights of Columbus have the
play in charge this year and are
leaving no stone unturned to make
this the swellest dramatic show ever
presented in Williston. The play was
produced in the larger cities of the
east by the late Charles Frohman and
should bring big house.

HIGH SCHOOL DEBATERS GIVE A FINE PROGRAM
Big Assembly at School Auditorium Hear Young
People Acquit Themselves in Excellent
Manner-Negative Wins Issue

The advisability Of adopting the
Swiss system of universal military
training in the United States in place
Of maintaining standing army was
the question argued by six of the
high schools most proficient sneakers
in their first public debate, held at
the school auditorium Friday evening.
The discussion Of the timely sub
ject was unusually interesting to the
audience, especially those from out
side the schools, who had not before
heard the young speakers aquit them
selves. Frequent applause greeted
the witty sallies and argumental
points scored. The affirmative of the
question was supported by Dolphin
Mackenroth, Olive Judkins and Bruce
Mcdonald while the negative was up
held by Campbell Minkler, Olive Hal
vorsonl and Emmet Diggins.
Sponsors Also Clashed
Each side had sponsor or advisor,
who, after the students bad concluded
their arguments and the judges Rad
handed in their decision, held live
lv little debate of their own. J. w.
Jackson acted for the affirmative and
Rev. James H. Batten for the mega
tive. This feature made decided hit
with the audience and caused some to
remark afterward that a study AMI
debating club for the grown-ups would
be no end of fun, not to mention the
benefit to be derived.
Each speaker, including the spon-
sors, was allowed six minutes fol d.
rect argument and four in rebuttAl.
Every debator crowded his time III
of argument and spicy comment.
There was no stalling to fill time, no
stammering or repeating. All ac-
quilted themselves splendidly, espec-
tally when it is considered that it was
their first ATTEMPT in public.
Points Brought Out
A few of the chief points made:
by the afiirmative-that the Swiss
system provides excellent ph. .sical
training for all male citizens: that
it makes an equal distribution of mill
tary duty among all classes and oc.
cupations .as we'll all parts Of the
country; that it develops a united. ma
tional spirit Of patriotism; that it

Willist0n Library
Doing Great Work

That the Williston Library is do
ing great work for the community
and that those in charge are making
good in number of ways is shown
by the report for February disclos-
ing the largest month in its history
from the standpoint Of books cirlu-
lated, the total being 1889.
This is running close to the 2COO
mark and better than the number is
the fact that over one-fourth Of all
the books out during the month were
non-fction. This means that one
fourth of the patrons of the library
are taking books for study and prac-
tical information. The number for
the average day was SO books while
the best single day was 1874 books.
One fact that adds to the popu-
larity of the institution is the SER
vice given. At present the opportun-
ity for service is toward the building
line and special attention is called
to books on that subject. The fol-
lowing books are recommended for
prospective builders:
Home Builders Guide.
The Book of Little Houses.
Making a Garage.
Arithmetic for Carpenters and
builders.
Fiction added to the rental shelves
includes:
Straight Down the Crooked Lane.
The Ollivant Orphans.
For the boys and girls the new ad'
ditions are:
Some Strange. Corners Of Our
Country.
The Secret Garden, by Mrs. F. H.
Burnett.
The Cruise of the Dazzler, by Jack
London.
For the wee folk:
The Early Cave-M Men.
