While in Stockton, Cal., some time
ago, Thos. F. Langan, of Los Banos,
that state, was taken very severely with
cramps and diarrhoea. He chanced to
meet Mr. C. M. Carter, who was simi*
larly afflicted. He says: “I told him
of Chamberlain's Colie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, and he went to the
Holeen drug store and procured a bottle
of it. It gavq Mr. Harter prompt relief
and I can vouch for its having cured
me." For sale by P. C. Corrigan,
An exchange says that the much talk
ed about bloomer bicycle dress is simply
a pair of trousers, very baggy at the
knees, abnormally full about the
pistol pocket and considerably loose
where you strike a match. The garment
is decollete at the south end, and
the bottoms are tied around the knees
to keep the mice out. You can’t put it
over your head as you do a skirt, but
you sit oh the floor ana pull it on just
as you would your stockings, one foot
in each compartment. You can easily
tell which is the right side to have in

S. P. Goodyear, of Wausa, Knox
county, father of Mrs. G. W. Clark, has
been visiting with his daughter for a
few days. Mr. Goodyear, although
seventy-six years of age, is a pedestrian
of no mean ability. He left Wausa, 65
miles distant from O’Neiil, on Tuesday
the 21st, walked to Csmond where he
had some business to attend to, and
from there to O’Neill, arriving here on
the evening of the 22d. Mr. G. used to
reside in this county, about half way
between Minenla and Dorsey, distant
from this city 26 miles, and the distance
to O’Neill and back to his home has
been covered in 15 hours, by Mr. Good
year, on foot, many times while the old
gentleman was bordering on the age of
seventy. _

Now dear Clydie, isn’t it a fact that
Charlie went to St. Paul to the A. P. A.
conveution as a delegate from your un
American society in O'Neill? Are vou
ashamed of your order?—Beacon Light.
We hare a distinct recollection of the
Atkinson Graphic, a year or so ago,
calling upon Mr. Eautzman to deny by
affidavit that he belonged to the society
known as the A. P. A. He declined at
that time to comply with the request
and we guess that it was a good thing
for his soul that he did. The foregoing
item reminds us of the story told by the
“Wife of Bath." The lady in reciting
how she played her poker-hand of hus
bands and always managed to keep them
on the defensive, said: “I, like a dog,
could bite as well as whine, and first
complained whene’er the guilt was
mine.”
The report has been current upon the
streets the past week that Henry Mur
phy bad succeeded in defeating, in the
supreme court, the bonds voted in Grat
tan township for the benfit of the Short
Line road. We have inquired into the
matter somewhat and find that the
rumor is incorrect. The matter stands
about this way: Some five years ago
Mr. Murphy applied to Judge Crites,
then district judge, for an injunction re
straining the officers from levying a tax
for the liquidation of these bonds, giv
ing as a reason therefor that the election
call had not been signed by a sufficient
number of freeholders. Judge Crites
refused to allow the injunction to issue
and the case was taken to the supreme
court on error, where the decision of
the lower court was reversed and the
injunction granted. This does not de
feat the bonds, but simply places the
township on the defensive, and action
will no doubt be commenced in United
States court by the bond holders.
it is because of its indefinite basis of
argument that no sensible man nor
woman can take up with this "New
Woman” movement, writes Edward W.
Bok editorially in the June Ladies’
Home Journal. So far as one can see,
it leads nowhere. It has no point.
These women do not want to be men,
for they have plainly told us that men are
immoral and are dominant tyrants.
They resent being women, because they
tell us to be a woman is to be "a subject
creature”—whatever that may mean.
There is not much left for them, there
fore, that I can see—nothing except to
create a third sex. It was George Elliot
who, in one of her epigrammatic mom
ents, discovered that there were three
sexes in England, “men, women and
clergymen.” Perhaps the leaders of our
"New Woman” movement will discover
something of this sort for us in America
—something which will render them as
offensive to decent Americans as
George Elliot’s remark rendered her
offensive for along time in the eyes of
self-respecting English people. Then
we shall hear less of the "new woman,
and perhaps our attention will be ’
little more directed to the presen
woman. And we shall all be the bette
for it—decidely the better for it.
COULD NOT GET INTO COUBT.
Couuty Attorney H. E. Murphy, of
O’Neil], is up m arms against Attorney
General Churchill in relation to their re
spective authority to conduct the trial
of the Holt county vigilantes implicated
in the Barrett Scott murder, but he got
nothing but dissatisfaction from the
supreme court yesterday. It is a pe
culiar case, this petty jealously displayed
by Murphy and revealed in an applica
tion filed with the supreme court. In
brief Attorney-General Churchill moved
the district court of Holt county to dis
miss the case against the accused, for
the purpose of commencing action in
another county, his desire being to get a
trial in a place removed from the resi
dence of all parties concerned, it being
the opinion of many that an Impartial
trial could not be had in Holt county.
The district judge dismissed the ease
and the attorney-general immediately
filed suit against the accused in Boyd
county.
ff uwu lUli BU^'CUIC l/UUI l UUIlvnilU
Tuesday Mr. Murphy asked leave to file
in that court a petition in error, asking
that the rulings of the district judge be
reversed. Murphy alleged that the
lower court erred in sustaining the
motion of the attorney-general to dis
miss the case over the objection of the
county attorney, and in overruling the
motion of the county attorney asking
the court to prohibit the attorney-gen
eral from interfering with the duties of
the county attorney in prosecuting this
case, and that the court erred in per
mitting the attorney general to take
control, management and charge of the
prosecution.
All this was laid before the supreme
court, and Murphy, who prosecuted Bar
rett Scott, pursued him to Mexico and
fought him while he was alive, filed
with the application a brief in which he
says his client in this case, the slate, has
been unjustly dealt with because the
case was dismissed in Holt county and
taken to an adjoining county. He neks
the supreme court to reinstate the case
in Holt county, as in his judgment, "a
great injustice has been done my client,
the state, in the dismissal of .this case.”
Mr. Murphy took the matter quite ser
iously, that removal of the case to a
plaoe where the attorney-general said
there was a show of an impartial trial,
and in his quaint way asked “leaf,” as
he writes it, to file a transcript.
The question, as Mr. Murphy put it to
the supreme court, was: “Has the at
torney-general the right, or is it bis
duty, to take control, management and
charge of a criminal case when re
quested to do so by the governor or leg
islature, and can he dismiss a case in
the district court, and has he the author
ity to do so over the objection of the
county attorney?”
The court acted yesterday by denying
Mr. Murphy leave to file his petition.—

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION,
Sunday School workers held at
O’Neill, Neb., the moat enthuaiaatio
convention that haa been held In Bolt
county for years, on Thuraday, May 23,
1890.
The attendance was good, nearly all
of the Sunday achoola of the county
being repreaented.
The convention was opened by praiae
aervice, led by Rev. Hoaman. Theme
of praiae from the one hundreth psalm.
A call for ahort ptayera and teatlmonies
giving reasons for praiae, waa heartily
responded to.
Paper—“Character and its Weight”—
by Wilson Brodle, had for ita theme;
the magnitude of the importance of
character in influencing the young.
Discussion was opened by Rev. Roaen*
crana, who impressed forcibly the great
importance of Christian character. Rev.
Hoaman the fact brought out in the
paper of character being a part of our
being that is continually with us and
decides our destiny. Mia. Blackburn
would reduce the number of years to
two instead of twelve in forming char*
acter. After singing, "Pill Me Now,"
Rev. Blackburn road a forcible paper
on the "Personal Application of the
Lesson,” emphasizing the importance of
personal application to fasten effectually

taught. The following committees
were then appointed: Resolutions, N.

O. F. Smith. On nominations, Rev. B.
Blain, H. R. Henry and Wilson Brodie.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
Meeting called to order by president.
Devotional exercises by Rev. Blain.
Scripture lesson, 19th psalm, impressing
the 14th verse, followed by song and
silent prayer.
Paper—“How Shall We Introduce and
Maintain a Normal Course of Study"—
by Mrs. Blackburn, was made doubly
interesting and impressive by the use of
cnarts, proving the necessity of the nor
mal class in securing a systematic study
of the bible. Rev. H. Frady ably dis
cussed the paper, after which forty-two
Sunday schools reported, with a total
enrollment of 1,898 members. Twelve
other schools not reported.
Paper—“The Bible vs. the Lesson
Leaf”—by Rev. Lowrie, showed that by
putting the lesson leaf in the hands of a
child without the Bible is wrong. Dis
cussion by Rev. Hill, sanctioning all the
points in the paper, was followed by
others and all joined in the one thought
of leaving the lesson leaf at home for
help in studying the lesson and take the
bible into the Sunday school room, thus
making the lesson leaf a means of help
fulness without becoming a substitute
for the Bible.
At this juncture a collection was
taken amounting to 94.66 to defray ex
penses.

president Jackson, showed that the
"model teacher” must be pure and
cleanly, like unto the great teacher,
Christ; an abstainer from liquor and to
bacco, and one who teaches Christianity,
by example as well as precept. Discus
sion led by H. R. Henry, whose princi
pal thought was the responsibility of the
teacher. J. S. Hoffman spoke of the
carefulness with which the model teacher
would seek to mold the young lives.
After singing, E. H. Benedict presented
a paper on “Best Methods of Conduct
ing Sunday School,” setting forth in an
able manner the duties of the superin
tendent. The discussion was opened by
Rev. Blain who endorsed the paper
throughout. The convention next pro
ceeded to elect officers. Report of nom
inating committee was read and was as
follows; For President, W. R. Jackson,
Recording Secy. J. C. Harnish; Cor.
Secy. Frances Brodie; Treasurer, Mrs.
L. H. Blackburn; District President
Dorsey district, V. V. Rcsencrans; Dus

adopt the report as read. Moved and
carried that tney be elected by acclama
tion. Report of committee on resolu
tions read and resolutions adopted. Af
ter singing "God Be With You Till We
Meet Again,’’the convention closed with
the benediction by Rev. Lowrie.
RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved: That those now present
in view of the interest manifest in
this convention we reorganize a revival
in Sunday school work; and Whereas:
The workers have so cheerfully res
ponded by their presence and by taking
part in the convention, therefore be it
Resolved: First, that we have great rea
son to rejoice in the earnestness and
fidelity of our superintendents and
teachers and Sunday school workers,
who promise great results during the
year to come. Second, that the thanks
of the convention be given to those who
prepared the excellent program and to
the president and secretary who
worked up the convention, and those
who prepared papers and carried on dis
cussions. Third, that we pledge our
selves to do all we can to promote the
Sunday school work in our county and
to get up an enthusiastic convention
next year. Fourth, that we urge on our
schools the formation of normal classes
and teachers’ libraries whenever possi
ble. Fifth, that we urge our schools to
secure copies of the bible to use in the
school and in the home. Sixth, that the
convention return hearty thanks to the
people of O'Neill for their generous
hospitality to the delegates.

The following appeal has been re

citizens’ relief committee of Ewing,
Nebraska. Our people have gained a
most enviable record for tbe generous
manner in which they respond to such
cases from suffers, and we feel certain
that the response to this urgent and pa

—I enclose you "Citizens Appeal.’’ Will
you kindly hand to paper for publica
tion in behalf of our afflicted people
who are urgently in need of assistance.
On the 9th and 10th inst. we had heavy
frosts, freezing ice, and doing great
damage to their little crop and gerden,
again filling them with despair at their
helpless condition and dread of the
coming winter.
Could you not devise seme method
that contributions may be collected in
your city for their relief? Earnestly
hoping for your assistance in this trying
emergency and to bear from you soon,
we are, yours very truly,
Citizens’ Relief Committee.

The foregoing article, heading and all,
appeared last week the Pine Bluff
(Ark.) Commercial.
It seems to us that some means could
be devised to stop this misrepresenta
tion. The people of Ewing are not
suffering and persons who use that plea
for the purpose of securing donations
are not only dishonest, but a detriment
to the community in which they ply
their nefarious avocation.

Anyone who has ever had an attack
of inflammatory rheumatism will rejoice
with Mr. J. A. Stumm, 220 Boyle
Heights, Los Angeles, over his fortu
nate escape from a siege of that dis
couraging ailment. Mr. Stumm is fore
man of Merriman’s confectionery es
tablishment. Some months ago, on
leaving the heated work room to run
across the street on an errand, he was
caught out in the rain. The result was
that when ready to go home that night
he was unable to walk, owing to in
flammatory rheumatism, He was taken
home, and on arrival was placed in
front of a good fire and thoroughly rub
bed with Chamberlain’s Pain Balm.
During the evening and night he was
repeatedly bathed with this liniment,
and by morning was relieved of all
rheumatic pains. He now takes espec
ial pains in praising Chamberlain’s
Pain Balm, and always keeps a bottle
of it in the house. For sale by P. C.

THE SCIENCE OE ADVERTISING.
Uo lienee, go hence, and paint a fence;
Paint signboards on tho rldgei;i
In aoeklng fame Inscribe your name
On flfty thousand bridges.
—G. II. Johnson.
In every town there are merchant*
who refuse to advertise In the newspa
pers; they are filled with the ipirlt of all
that is old, fogeylsh and moubaoked,
and they live In solitary confinement in
their stores, while their more enterpris
ing neighbors do the business. The
strange thing about it is that the mer
chant who has such a horror of adver
tising in the newspapers will, in nine
cases out of ten, patronize any transpar
ent fake that comes along. They are
fond of the man who goes around the
country with a pot of paint, daubing
misspelled legends on the fences and
bridges, and they’ll pay their money
to have an advertisement painted on a
baloon, or they'll invest in dodgers, or
chalk a lot of literature on the sidewalk,
or do anything except the right thing.
In one Nebraska town, according to
the local paper, a dozen merchants were
recently victimized by a paper bag fakir;
they furnished the bags and the money
and the fakir was to do certain printing
and engraving, and the merchants were
buncoed for the bags and the money.
According to the same paper, not one of
those merchants was an adyertiser in
the home Journals. Was ever fact more
significant (or gratifying)?
In another Nebraska town a man put
up a big signboard on a vacant lot, and
sold space at high prices to the local
merchants; those who never patronize
the papers jumped eagerly at this
scheme, and two painters were kept
busy for days inscribing advertisements
in gorgeous colors and luxuriant lan
guage . The signboard, when completed^
looked like a fourth of July celebration,
and was attracting attention when the
owner of the vacant lot (who had never
been consulted) came along and ordeied
the signboard taken down. It was taken
down, and as there was no available site
for it within the city limits, it was de
stroyed. Of the score* who witnessed
the work of demolition, there was not
one who had a word of sympathy fog
the merchants. M
There is but one way to advertise.— ’1
