SOUTH SIDE.
Remember Ihe preaching , next Sunday , at ; ;
o'clock.
The Sunday-school was well attended , last
Sunday.
The local showers have done lots of good
in this section of the country.
Some of the young people of this vicinity
went to Box Elder the Fourth.
The harvesting season is progressing and
there will he some good wheat inSouth
Side ; especially on Morlan's ranch.
There were several small picnics in the
groves of South Side on the Fourth , and no
small number escaped the showers of wet
rain.

W. S. Fitch thinks the birds that come into
the grove for fruit are paying for it well by
killing grasshoppers. He thinks there area
great many less 'hoppers on his farm than
there were a w.eek ago.
A great many people of this place and else
where attended the trial of "The Boys , " and
came home laughing ; and the boys
laughed loudest of all. They think their
, 'ij time will come later on.
The South Side and
Sunday-school preach
ing services have a small choir which is get
ting along nicely. They are very much in
need of a good tenor singer , but otherwise
they are coming richt to the front.

BOX ELDER.
I Most of our young people went to Spring
Creek , where they report a fine time.
John White , Dan Wildman , Matt Stewart
and Ike Atkinson were fishing , last week ,
throwing out about 75 pounds of fish with
their hands.
! We were surprised by a fine shower Tues
day eve , ths third , wetting Jdown about one
inch ; south of Box Elder it hailed some ; at S.
C. Kings' to such an extent as to damage the
fruit in their orchard. Following the after
noon of the fourth , frequent showers made
the corn prospect much brighter , and feed a
sure thing , which was a big question with our
stockmen.
The fourth at Box Elder was celebrated
with a nice picnic , and a fine address'by Rev. !
Badcon. The frequent showers in the after
noon rather dampened the sport.
The crowd was small on account of so
many picnics in the neighborhood and the
celebration being planned so late.Qlt is to be
hoped that if we decide to [ celebrate , next
year , the people of Box Elder will all join
and help make it a success.
If you are troubled with that most uncom
fortable disease called piles , don't neglect it.
Don't let the complaint get a firm hold. Ev
ery day the disease is neglected it grows

Buckeye Pile Ointment ; the relief is immedi
ate , and cure infallible. Price. 50 cents in
bottles , tubes , 75 cents. A. McMillen.
Starvation never yet cured dyspepsia. Per
sons with indigestion are already half starved.
They need plenty of wholesome food. Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure digests what you eat so the
body can be nourished while trie worn out or

preparation known that will instantly relieve
and completely cure all stomach troubles.
Try it if you are suffering from indigestion.
It will certainly do you good. D. W. Loar.

Ivy poisoning , poison wounds , and all other

a certain cure for piles and skin diseases.
Take no other. D.V. . Loar.

ALL THE CREW GREW FAT.
rn-cllcainent of the Company of tlio
< iocxl Hurk Zlou.
The German bark ZIon , which ar
rived at this port Sunday from Fowey ,
England , brought a rather peculiar
cargo. It consisted of 1,800 casks of
ahina clay , but In addition there were
on hoard 300 casks of arsenic. This
part of the cargo had a remarkable ef
fect on the crew. The fact that arsenic
as well as strychnine helps the forma-
.ion of adipose tissue when taken into
he human system In minute particles
Is well known , and both drugs have
jecome favorite tonics for convales
cents. On board the Zion the men
< lept near the large array of barrels
"ontaining the drug. They were stor-
'd in the hold , near the forecastle and
artially exposed to the rays of the
mn , which streamed In through the
open hatch. When only about a week
out from port one of the crew men
tioned to his messmates that a peculiar
and indescribable odor was coming
from the casks containing the drug.
It was not long after their attention
had been called to it that they noticed
the same thing , and , strange to say ,
noticed it all the more forcibly a week
later. Several of the German tars ue-
came aware of the fact that they were
filling out their clothes to a much
greater extent than when they shipped.
Many others , as days went by , became
abnormally stout , in vast contrast to
the former slim appearance which
many of them presented before the
land was left. One man gained , it is
said , twenty-five pounds. Others were
affected to a less extent. But the ag
gregate weight put on by the entire
crew was little less than 400 pounds.
Several of the sailors are known here ,
and they are said to be scarcely rec
ognizable when contrasted with the old
days. The entire sudden taking on of
avoirdupois is attributed to vapor ,
which , generated by the action of the
sun on the casks , was inhaled by the
seamen as they slept , and acted in
precisely the same manner as a tonic
in a prescription. Capt. Hammes , wbo
slept aft in the vessel , entirely removed
from the arsenic , doss not show any
effect of the inhalition. Philadelphia
Times.
SWIFT MESSENGER BOYS.
Use of the Bicycle Has Adilecl to Their
Speed.
"The bicycle has proved a valuable
assistant in many phases of business , "
remarked a wheeling enthusiast yes
terday , "but I think that to the mes
senger boy it has become a priceless
boon. Nowadays it is a rarity to see
a messenger boy journeying along in
any other manner than on the silent
steed. And the proficiency attained by
'he majority of these youngsters in the
art of riding would rouse a feeling of
envy in the breast of many a professional - '
sional trick rider. It is no unusual j J
sight to see as many as three of the
boys on one bike. Then , again , you'll
see a youngster gliding along , seated
anywhere on the wheel except the sad
dle. In fact , the majority of the boys I
!
scorn the use of the saddle at all.
When in a hurry these peaceful rough
riders catch hold of a trolley car
dasher , and with feet on the handle
bars sail down the street , oblivious of
the fact that a fall may mean instant
death. " Philadelphia Record.
Checking System Applied to Babies. I
In some of the New York depart
ment stores babies can be checked like 1
so many umbrellas , while their moth
ers pursue the elusive bargain from
counter to counter. A small boy is de
tailed to stand guard over a certain
number of infants. The small boys
and the infants have not been asked
for an opinion , but the mothers are
enthusiastic in their approval. In
Brooklyn the checking system as ap
plied to babies r-as appeared in a new
form. Brooklyn being recognized as
the city of churches , the new develop
ment is naturally along the ecclesias
tical line. The Ry. Dr. Wiley of the
Nostrand Avenus > Tuethodist Episcopal
church is the originator of the scheme.
and the mothers are once more the
gainers. A large rocm 'aas been fitted
up with hammocks and cribs , peram
bulators and toys. Here a volunteer
committee of young women assembles
every Sunday morning , and here the
mothers , v.-ho vould otherwise be kept
at home leave their babies , while they
themselvts alte- " the regular church
service. The plan is a novel one , but
promises , and deserves , to be popular.

A LONG FALL.
Never Would IJiive ltiU * vcd It If II *
Hutlu'fc Keen It.
The man with a bunch of twine for
whiskers was shaking his chin at the
company of listeners , one of whom
had shortly before read from a news
paper a story of a man falling down a
well and sustaining no very serious
injury , says the Washington Star.
"Which reminds me , gents , " he said ,
"that what I am about to relate to
you is a fact , a calm , cold fact , that
I wouldn't think of telling you if it
was anything else. It happened out
in one of the deep mines of Colorado ,
where there was a straight shaft 850
feet deep. Some said it was 875 , but ,
gents , I'm a truthful man , and 1
know it was 25 feet 1 inch short of
that , for I measured it myself. Weil ,
to make a long story short , one day
theft was a man out to see the mine
from New York to buy it. He had a
pot of money , and he looked like he
carried it around under his vest , for
he was as big through as a bass drum
and built on them proportions. I guess
he weighed 300 pounds , though it
might have been only 298. Anyhow ,
he was standing around the mouth of
the shaft one morning , and by some
chance or other he toppled over and
down he went. I was looking right at
him when he toppled , and I never
want to see another man's face look
like his did then , gents , indeed I don't.
Not much. Well , to make a long story
short , we looked at each other for a
minute as he went down the hole , and
then we broke for the cage , which
was fastened up yet , and two of us
started down after him , expecting to
find him a mangled mass at the bet
tom. But we didn't , and as we began
to near the bottom we heard him
yelling like a coyote to hold up or we'd
mash the life out of him. That scared
us worse than the other , and we want
ed to go back , but we couldn't do
that , so we went slow and got down
to him all right. Well , to make a long
story short , by gum , do you know that
we found that he had gone down that
hole so fast and he had filled it so full
that he had compressed the air in it
to such an extent that by the time he
got pretty near to the bottom he
wasn't moving faster than he would
have moved through that much water ,
and he had really stopped ten or fifteen
feet from the bottom and couldn't get
either way , which was what scared him
so as we came down on him in the
cage. Very peculiar occurrence , gents ,
and if I hadn't seen it with my own
eyes I never would have believed' if
in the world. Never. "
CHINESE BLACKMASLINC.
Hevy : Exactions on a Kullroi < l Ofli'il.il
at Peklnc : * ,
A curious instance , and by no means
a , flattering one , of Chinese methods
3f government has just been supplied
by the arrival of Sheng Taotai from
Shanghai , says a Pekin dispatch to the
3t. James Gazette. This gentleman
holds several important posts , and
imong others has the appointment of
director of railways. He is also the
idministrator of the Chinese tele
graphs and has an excellent reputa
tion among foreigners for his toler
ance and open-mindedness. Recently
fie was called here by command of
the emperor to confer about the sev-
jral reforms which his majssty was
o eager to adopt. The chief officials
) f Pekin hailed his advent with de
light , as it at last gave tbmn the op
portunity of a "squeeze , " which hac1
jeen quite impossible while Slieng was
so far distant from Shanghai. The
modus operandi is quite a usual and
in every-day one and deserves notice
rhe gates of Pekin are farmed out to
ligh officials , chiefly princes of royal I (
ilood. All merchandise is examined *
md is passed on payment of a small
: ax. But when an official like Sheng i
jomes in , from whom they are desir-
3us of exacting a good round sum ,
: he procedure is altered. In this par-
icular case Sheng was given to un-
lerstand that contraband articles
would be found in his luggage unless
lie satisfied the farmers of the gate.
! believe I am correct in saying that
3heng did not even attempt to dispute
) r haggle , but resignedly asked what
imount was required. The answer
ivas 30,000 taels. This was paid or :
aromised , and Sheng proceeded on his
lourney , probably glad at having got
) ff so cheaply. But against all prece-
lent and custom , he was stopped at
: he inner gate , and did not get off un-
ler 20,000 taels. So altogether this
infortunate official , called to the capi-
; al by the emperor's order , had to pay
) ver $6,350 before he was allowed to
jo to his duties.
