AN OPEN LETTER.
To THE LaIHKS Of THE UNITY' CLUH:
Tie a it La hi ks—Last week we got
col lected, and in a measure punished
for having meddled too much with
your business. That’s all right.
You did the right thing, at the
light time. Our motto has ever
been, that those wdio give too much
time and attention to other peoples’
business, almost iovariably is tak
ing the wrong fork in the road to
suceess, and unless be backs up,
and starts in on tbo other branch
of the road, is liable to loose
his hearing and pull up at the
wrong hitching post. And so, on this
bright, beautiful May morning, we
turn back to the poii t of beginning,
and in retracing our steps, take
back with us all we said about that
petition or park, even including the
beautiful poem, which cost us nearly
un hour of hard mental labor.
While we are thus retracing our
steps, wo might state that we nau
good reason to suppose Hint the in
formation which we recieved regard
ing that so called petition, was per
feetly reliable. But when one of
jour number tells us that it is not a
petition, that settles it. We now
understand that it is called a resolu
tion, passed by jour members in
regular session assembled, urging
Hie village hoard to furnish you
with such information, printed mat
ter, etc., as will enable you to co
operate with them and assist them
in cleaning up the town and esiab
lishiog enterprises, etc. etc. Very
likely the board needs assistance in
this matter, and we might suggest
that the very best method you could
employ in carrying on the good
work is to commence at the very
point where the board has so often
tried and failed: that of inducing
every woman’s husband who bus
real estate property within the city
limits to clean up, especially in cases
where no pretentions to cleaning up
is made. Some of the real estate
agents might be induced to shed
their broad cloth, and with the aid
of the armstrong sythe, swipe down
a few weeds on some of the non
residenee lots iu the village, and for
which they are agents. They might
do this and take pay for the job out
c.f the rent, or if not out of the rent,
knock off a little oftbeir commission.
Id presenting your case to the rial
estate men, go after them iu earnest.
Tell them that the little lost in labor
is not to be compared with the net
gains in commissions on lot and
land sales because of a pretty ap
pearance of tbe oity. No doubt
there are many other ways in which
you could be of valuable assistance,
and we hope you will use your best
energies in this direction, and, if we
could be of any help, would like to
co operate with you in your co oper
ation with the town board in bring
ing about such a reformation in city
matters as will cause favorable com
rnent from all who visit us.
Your co-operative friend,
Geo. E. Ben.
Fred Fuller, son of F. VV. Fuller,
of flazzard, has devised a plan to
prevent the flooding of a particular
ly fine 50-acre tract of land along
the creek on his tarther’s farm, at
Hazzard, and proposes to build a
dike several hundred feet long and
has rented the big Fairfield township
road grader with which to do the
work. The land is particularly salt
able for Alfalfa, if the danger of
flooding during the freshets can be
overcome. Young Mr. Fuller is a
graduate of Ivnox college, and has

The first intimation of a scandal in
the Army which involve* officers
who have been stationed in Alaska
lias just been given by the issuance
of orders for general count martial
It stems that all the > Ulcers located
at Skugway about a year ago are in
volved in what is beleived to have
been wholesale speculation of com
missary supplies. The high prices
of these commodities ottered except
ional opportunities and it is said
that large quantities furnished for
army use were sold to the public
aDd the officers pocketed the pro
ceeds. Another Alaskan officer is
to be tried for a shortage discovered
in his account. He claims that bis
safe was broken open and looted
but he will be called upon to prove
the fact to a court martial. These
cases are all in of General Funston.
PKKACHES *<* THIS I'ttl)8II>KNT.
President ltoo9evelt listened to a
sermon by Rev. L. A Arthur,
reclor of the Episcopal churches
of 5t. Paul and Grand Island, last
Suuday. No special arrangements
had been made for this feature of
his visit, it being thought proper
for the president to select a place of
woisbip for himself upon his arrival
in Grand Island. This he declined
to do, requesting Dr. 11 C Miller
of the reception committee to con
duct him to any church he desired.
As I)r. Miller is au Episcopalian he
took the president to hear Rev.
Arthur, who showed excellent tack
by contiuing Inmself to the regular
services. No reterenee was made
to the presence ol the chief execu
tive excepting once in prayer. P. G.
Sbanstrom and family of this city,
who are absent Episcopalians and
never neglects au opportunity to
bear ltev. Arthur, wore in the con
gregation. It is said that the un
csrtainty in regard to where the
president would worship resulted in
every church being filled to overflow
ing, hundreds of people who had not
heard a sermon for years bemg as
close to the “amen corner" as they
could get.—St. Paul Republican.

SKV EKK ATTACK OF (SKIP
Cured by One Mottle of Chamberlain*
Cough Kenietly.
"When I hafl an attack of the grip luet
winter (the second one) I actually cured
myself with one bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy ”, says Frank W. I'erry, ed
itor of the Enterprise, Shorlsvllle, N. Y
"This Is the honest truth. 1 at times kept
from coughlDg myself to pieces by taking a
teaspoon fill ot this remedy, and when the
coughing spell would come on at night 1
would take a dose and It see tied that in the
briefest inlet val the cough would pass off
and I would go to sleep perfectly free from
cough and 1 is accompany lug pa*ns. To say
that the remedy acted as a most agreeable
surprise Is putting It very mildly, 1 had no
Idea that it would or could knock out. the
grip, simply because I had never tried It
for sueb a purpose, but it did, and It seemad
with the second attack of coughing the
remedy caused It to not only lie of less du
ration, but the pains were far less severe,
and I had nol used the contents or one bot
tie before Mr. Grip had bid nio adieu.” For
