I THE Contagious will bear personal vituperation, but we rise en masse against the contumely of the school. Were our school unsuccessful, far be it from the wisdom and discretion of a community to parade the fact before the general public through the press. The meanest of God's creeping things will crawl into its hole and fight for its home and home institutions 2Tew GrataJUiraeetlon. ATopeka dispatch of the. 15th, says: Another, nail was driven in the coffin of the boards of trade in.

the large cities of Kansas today when the house, as a committee of sthe recommended for passage-fieStoner bill, to establish and regulate atate, grain inspection department. The bill takes the inspection of grain entirely out of the hands of the board of trade. The governor appoints a chief inspector at a salary of $1,200 a year, and the; chief appoints all the necessary assistants at, a salary of $75 per month, and weigh masters at $50 per month. The inspector is to maintain headquarters in Kansas City and in addition to other is to in vesti-gate all complaints of fraud or oppression in the grain trade. Conarrese and Prohibition.

If Congress protects the Indian from what is unjust, why not protect the white man from what is unjust? If it is wrong for an Indian to have -intoxicants it is wrong for a white -man to have intoxicants. What is goodf ran Indian in that respect must undoubtedly be good for a white man. Is- nn Indian more valuable than a -white -man? No! Then treat the white man, with equal protection. Look for; a minute: Intoxicating: liquors kilLmore white people in the United States, every three years, -through murder, and excess of drink, than the whole Indian population amounts to. Yet Congress takes it away from the Indian and lets the white man continue to go on drinking, buying and selling this awful stuff which thousands of families into misery every year.

If the Indian-can get along without it, can a white man. Intoxicating we do not need, and may the Christian people keep hammering away at it until the last drop has been poured back to mother earth. In the year .1893 United States alone gulped down 31,000,000 barrels of this soul distroying fluid. A half rel for every man, woman and child. But.

the devil may say, if you stop manufacturing rum you will destroy your market for corn, rye, barley etc. That is only one way of looking at it. The Indians dearly love rum and would consume many thousdand of bushels of grain when converted into that kindof stuff, if they could buy it. Yet Congress says we must not sell it to them and provides severe penalties for so do ing. If that is good let us have more ox it an provide a penalty for any person manufacturing, Duying, selling or giving away, drinking or having in pos session any intoxicating liquors.

Pbohibition Picked up a Pocket Book. Dan Jones, colored, plead guilty in ustice Mathew's court, Friday, to steal ing a pocket book and $10.15 from a col ored woman, who was in Foster Wil liam's store at the time. He was given 30 days in jail, and the costs, amount ing to $28.00 were taxed up against him. The complaining witness was sitting beside the stove with her handkerchief, a package or two and her pocket book containing -a ten dollar gold piece and fifteen cents in change on her lap. When she got up she dropped, her pocket book.

Jones saw it on the floor, grabbed it and left the store. When the loss was discovered Jones was sus picioned, and arrested, but protested his innocence. Marshal Mcintosh searched his pockets but found only fifteen cents therein. He then had Jones disrobe, and finally discovered the gold piece in one of his stockings. Then Jones 4f eased up," and the jus tice did the rest.

Marshal Mcintosh escorted him to the prison. Dr. Buckley Makes a Break. A JNew lork dispatch say: At meeting of preachers at the Methodist Book after a paper was read combating Dr. Lyman Abbott's recent declarations concerning the Bible, the Rev.

J. M. Buckley, editor of the New York Christian Advocate, the Joffieial organ of the Methodist church, rose and boldly said: "I am very sorry to disagree with the paper of my friend Curtis. I don't believe in the infallibility of the English version of the TJible, and I think there are scarcely, four men in the meeting who do." Dr. Buckley's language was practically a defense, a fortification of the declaration of Dr.

Lyman Abbott. When Jr. Buckley finally sat down, the storm broke and his declarations were vigorously -as sailed. Surprised their Teacher. The pupils of Prof.

We welcome him again in our We noticed in last week's issue of The Journal a little "squib" from this place, taking exception to our casual remark, that our school was progressing nicely, etc. "Observer" feels confident that the editor of The Joubnai will grant sufficient space to correct a statement so false and a slander so base concerning' a school which stands so near the top, among all the district schools of Montgomery county, and of which all fairly disposed and intelligent residents of the district are justly so proud. Mere statements prove nothing. Words, of truth are as "sounding brass and tinkling cymbal." We deem it but just that we promise the editor to make no statements but what we stand ready to prove at any time, mostly by actual record, further by the testimony of ninety-five per cent of the intelligence and morality of the community. Were it not that we were surprised and shocked that there lived among us those that are so far lost to all that is elevating and progressive in a country precinct as to vainly endeavor to besmirch their own ranter of learning we would not longer parade the matter, before an already tired public.

Here at home no correction is necessary Where well known, the two names that endorsed that "squib" are synonymous, with petty prejudice andequivocation. Lest parties unacquainted with the facts hasten to accuse us of grossest ignorance and wantonness in publicly denouncing our own school, I but voice the sentiment of forty good men and true bone and sinew of the community, salt of the earth, lovers of education, religion jmd all that tends to the up- of the human when I eay.I resent we insuii to our scnooi. we 191 Bloo Mr. Frank B. Martin, who is engaged in the jewelry business at 926 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington City, where he is well and favorably known, was a victim of that worst form of diseasecontagious blood poison.

He realized that his life was about to be blasted, for this terrible disease has baffled the skill of the physicians for ages, and they have never yet been able to effect a cure. His mental despair can better be imagined than described. In a recent letter he says: "About four years ago I contracted a severe case-of contagious blood poison, and it was not long before I was in a terrible condition. I immediately placed myself under treatment of two of the best physicians in Washington city. Their treatment, which I took faithfully for six months, cost me just three hundred dollars, and left me worse than when I began it.

My condition can RANK. 13. JUAKT1P. best be appreciated, when I state that my throatand mouth werefullof sores and my tongue was almost eaten away; I had not taken solid food for three months. My entire body was covered with red blotches, my hands and feet were sore and my hair was falling out rapidly.

S. S. S. is the best blood remedy in the world; and my cure was due solely and alone to it." Contagious blood poison is the most horrible of all diseases, and has been appropriately called the curse of mankind.

It has always baffled the doctors, and, until the discovery of S. S. was incurable. For fifty years S. S.

A Proposed Xew Assessment Law A Topeka dispatch says that the sen ate committee on assessment and taxation has introduced in the senate a bill providing for a new law governing the assessment and taxation of property in this state. The new law was prepared at a joint conference of the committees bill will bo introduced in the house. One of the most important features of the proposed law is a provision requiring the assessment of all property, real and personal, at its full value. The tax levy is decreased to correspond with the increased valuation. uuiaueu tuvcuiury 01 an properly is also required under the provisions of me Din.

As a com munity enjoying the enlightenment of this nineteenth century, we cry out against the shameful, deprecation of our school. The above argument is based on the assumption that our school is not a success which, however is not true. The report of our ex-county superintendent Miss Keller, than whom there is no better authority -n the county, places the condition of tbe school, under our present teacher, far up toward the top of the list in the county.

Our teacher is an old, experienced instructor, carries an excellent first grade certificate from this county and efficient in those natural qualities which to make a successful instructor and disciplinarian. Few if any country schools have issued more county diplomas than ours and some of its graduates have taught successfully without further tuition. There are now enrolled thirty-seven pupils and that twenty-two have stopped on account of the teacher, is impossible and those familiar with the district will so reconize it at once. It is true a very few have stopped on account of the teacher, but the proportion is very small indeed numerically and very much smaller still when measured by the only true test, viz: Natural discretion. The men composing our school board are known in your city and in the whole county as men of judgment and business acumen, ithey have sustained for two years, this same teacher on the ground of merit alone and they and many others unite with Observer and stand ready to sign their names in protest against the adverse parading of their excellent, legally conducted school in the public press.

Should we in the future be so unfortunate as to have an unsuccessful teacher we promise you to correct the mistake quietly among ourselves, and not involve the general public as did those who so foolishly took exception to a word of merited praise of our grandest home institution.

Alfred Pleasanton was born June 7, 1821. A score of years later he was graduated from the United States Military academy. As a slender young lieutenant in the Mexican war, he was foremost in the charges at Palo Alto and Besaca de la Palma. In 1862 he went to the civil war as a major in the Second United States cavalary; promotions came to him right and left, and he became commander of the cavlry corps of the Army of the Potomac, fighting to the finish and resigning in 1868.

They suffer on 4and on weeks, months, years. The story of weakness and torture is written in the drawn features, in the sallow skin, in the listless eyes, in the lines of care and worry on the face.

Inborn modesty, seals their lips. They prefer pain to humiliation. Custom has made them believe the only hope of relief lies in the exposure of examination and "local treatment."
