Henderson, speaker of the home of representatives, is quoted by the Paris correspondent of the Journal and Advertiser on the third presidential term as follows "Regarding the third terra, I will say first that I am oppo-ted to it as a rule.

Secondly, there may arise conditions demanding it and therefore the hands of the country should not be tied up. Thirdly, as to President McKinley, the time has not arrived for discussing a third term. Continuity in ofllce might dull the minds of people and prevent them from perceiving the difference between election and life tenure." and was well known and liked.

8 Organized Against Deadbeats, The business men of Peabody have an organization whereby when anyone refuses or fails to pay his account that each of the remaining business men is notified and they in turn refuse to give the party any further credit. In speaking about the matter the Peabody paper says: "It's all foolishness to let a lot of Klrby Bank Depositors Win. The case of O. P. Galligher, an eastern money loaner, against P.

II. Ilalleck, receiver of the Kirby bank, has been decided in favor of the latter in the United States federal court. Galligher attached the bank's property and tried to have his claim of $15,000 made a preferred one. He will now only get the same per cent as the balance of the creditors on most of his claim. Thus far Heceiver Ilalleck has paid the depositors of the bank CO per cent and there is no prospect of their receiving more than a few per cent more.

There is one more case against the receiver which is now in the supreme court and it will probably be decided during the next few months. After that the bank's affairs will be practically wound up and the receiver discharged. For relief and comfort in Asthma Ballard's Ilorehonnd Syrup has no equal. Price 25 and 50c. C.
