The Buchanan and Bertrand, an­nual township S. S. Convention will be held in the Christian Advent church, January 21st and 22d.' 'The program, will appear in the7 next issue o f The Record

-CIRCUIT COURT.Judge Coolidge has just handed

down an opinion-in-the case Of Chas. Moore-vscSteplrcn .A.,Earl and Hen­ry Glass. It seems that certain prop­erty belonging to Moore was sold by the sheriff to Stephen A . Earl, who in turn transferred it to Henry Glass. Moore claimed that under the home­stead-law the sheriff had no right to dispose o'f -the property. Judge Cool­idge decided that the levy made by the sheriff was void and that all pro- ■ ceedings there under— the le'vy, the executive sale, deed by sheriff to Earl and 'the deed by Earl to Glass must be held void and decreed to be inoperative and set aside.

The case is a famous one and dates back as far as 1893. Six lawsuits. both criminal and civil resulted from It and the matter was of much im­portance to the attorneys of Berrien county.

Col. Bacon and Gore & Harvey were attorneys for the complainant; and one of the most important points ' to be decided upon was whether the ; property in question was a home­stead or not. Judge Coolidge decid- i ed that-it was.

BOARD OK SUFEItTISOBS.The hoard of supervisors were in

session Friday and remained,in ses­sion the balance of the week. About the only business being transacted Is the presentation of claims and their reference to proper committees,

Mr. Baker made a motion that two delegates be sent from Berrien coun- to attend the meeting of the state hoard of supervisors at Lansing Feb­ruary 7, ^but the motion was voted down.

Messrs. Stemgi, Harper and Minnis were appointed a committee to in­spect and report upon the official bonds of all county officers.

The Berrien Springs Water Power- Company was granted permission to erect and maintain a dam across the St. Joseph river in the south half of section 18, town 6, range 17, west of Berrien county. This permit is an amendment or an addition to the permit granted the company in 1895.

Pres. W . W . Bean of the electric lighting company, presented a prop­osition to the board of supervisors Friday afternoon offering to light and heat the jail and court house for §1,650 per year.

Saturday morning the- proposition was voted upon and it was lost.' The vote stood 15 yes, and 16 no.

Mr. Bean arose and said, “I will examine these lighting and heating accounts each month and I will make another proposition that you will each accept or else you will run your own plant so cheap that you w ill be ashamed.”

Supervisor Baker changed his -vote from yes to no in order that the mat­ter may be considered in the after­noon. A warm time is expected as the expense of the county’s plant has been over §2,000 a year.

Supervisor Baker submitted a reso­lution to have all the couniy’s print­ing and binding done by L. J. Mer­chant, hut it was downed by a ma­jority of three. The fight grew heat­ed in this matter as many supervi­sors believed different offices should he awarded their share of the print­ing.

The board adjourned till 1.-30 in the afternoon.

A resolution was adopted Saturday to pay T. A. Walker §100 for services on the building committee. The su­pervisors received $3 per day while they are in session and the above amount was extra.

D row ned in a L ake Nehr .. ETultport. , ..

Washington, Jan. 12. 45-Yice. ^Presi­dent Hobart presided ov.er the; senate Wednesday for the first time since the holiday recess, having heretofore been detained at his home by an attack of grippe.

Senator Bacon (Ga.) offered the fol­lowing joint resolution:

1. That the governm ent and people o f the TJnited States have not waged . the recent War with Spain fo r conquest and fo r the acquisition o f foreign territory, hut sole­ly fo r the purpose set forth in the reso­lution o f congress making the'declaration o f said war, the acquisition o f "such small tracts o f land or harbors as m ay be nec­essary f o r governm ental purposes being n ot deemed inconsistent w ith the same.

2- T h a t in demanding and in. receiving the cession o f the Philippine islands It Is not the purpose o f the governm ent o f the United States to secure and maintain do­

m in ion over the same as a part o f the territory o f the United States or to in­

corp orate the inhabitants thereof as citi­zens o f the TJnited States or hold said in­habitants as vassals or subjects o f this government.

3. That, whereas, at the time o f the declaration o f w ar by the United States •against Spain and prior thereto, the in­habitants o f the Philippine islands were actively engaged in a w ar with Spain to achieve their Independence, and whereas, said purpose and the military operations thereunder have not been abandoned, but are still being actively prosecuted there­under, therefore, in recognition o f and in Obedience to the vital principle announced In the great declaration that . “ govern­m ents derive their ju st pow ers 'from the' consent o f the governed,” the govern - 7 m ent o f the United States recognizes that the people o f the Philippine islands o f a right ought to be free and independent, that with this view and to give effect to the same the governm ent o f the United States has required the governm ent of Spain to relinquish Its authority and gov ­ernment in the Philippine islands and to withdraw its land and naval forces from the Philippine islands and from the waters thereof.

4. That the United States hereby disclaim any disposition or intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control over said islands and assert their determination when an independent governm ent shall have been duly erected therein entitled to recognition as such to transfer to said governm ent, upon terms w hich shall be reasonable and just, all rights secured un­der the cession by .Spain and to thereupon leave the governm ent and control o f the islands to their people.

Senator F o ra k er Is H eard.A climax was reached Wednesday in

the debate on the question of expansion which is in progress in the senate. Heretofore all the speeches, with the notable exception of that of Senator Platt (Conn.), have been in opposition to what is presumed to be the policy of the administration, with respect to the acquisition of the Philippines. Wednes­day Senator Foraker (O.) addressed the senate in opposition io the declaration of the Yest resolution that the United States has no constitutional power to acquire foreign territory to be main- ■fained as colonies. While much of his speech was devoted to a constitutional argument in support of the right of this country as a nation to acquire and gov- .ern outlying territory, he gave par­ticular attention to the utterances that have been made in contravention of that position, especially those of Sena­tors Yest and Hoar.

He laid down the broad proposition that to adopt theYest resolution waste declare that- onr fathers had brought forth a nation that was inferior to all other nations, regardless of "the gen­erally accepted idea that one nation was theequal of another and all equally restricted. He maintained that the right to acquire territory was an in­herent right of nationality, and that as we have the right to make war and to enter into treaty agreements, it fol­lows logically that we have the power to acquire territory by conquest and to assume the responsibilities that may accrue therefrom.

Creates a Sensation.Senator Foraker’s strong assertion

that the acquisition of the Philippines was temporary in character, created a sensation in the chamber. He main­tained, however, that we have a legal light to hold the islands permanently.

We could not-desert the . people of the islands, besaid, and subject them to the risks, of disorder, anarchy, misrule and mob rule while they might be still unfit for self-government. But our oc- . cupation was not to be permanent. “I do not Understand that anyone desires anything but the ultimate inde­pendence of the people of the Philip­pines,” ’ said he, emphatically; “neither the president-htfr anyone in-this chairs ber.’iVi : . .' ., \

“Then we are to understand the statement that the American flag is no t to be hauled down,” said Senator Hoar, “does not mean that we are to hold per­petual domain. If the people of the Philippines believe their happiness can best-, he secured by self-government, they are to be given an opportunity to govern themselves.” • ' . •• .

PWith .the determination of the ulti­mate pplicy.respeeting the Philppines,” replied SenatorFaraker, “ theirfeelings will have much to "do. No one so far as I am able to learn, is prepared by. force and violence to take and hold Ihem. -. I am yviliing.tQ. trust.the administration.I have no sympathy with lhos$ who talk of making war on A'giiinaldo any! more than I had with those^who talked of making war on Gomez.” . . .

“Thank God for - that,” murmured Senator Boar from his seat' btit_dn a voice audible through' ihe chamber’.' *

‘ “I repeat,” continued Seriatdr Pbra- lier. “that we had four choices as to what we should do and I affirm that the president acted wisely. It is now for congress to investigate whether the Filipinos are capable of self-govern­ment and whether , they desired self- gdvernSnent. iR-know ,ijj,«, jshorttime what thefe&ling5"c5 Hie population , of'thh Islands7 i’s. : Then we can-act in­telligently and I knew we will act justly.”

Lansing, January 10, 1899. Special Correspondence.

The seat of Michigan’s-government has experienced an exciting week. The events have been of particular interest to every section of the state. Aside from the political significance which attaches to the two great con­tests of last week, a far reaching in­terest is manifested.

The easy victory of Mr. Burrows over the Pingree wing of the Repub- lican--party is viewed here in a variety of lights. There are jhose who claim that the meteoric career of the “ Potato Mayor” is drawing to' an inglotious close, while with equal zest the friends of the state govern­ment point to the great popular ma­jority received by the' Governor and assert that the people in whose arbi­trament all questions find their final solution, will see to it that the re­form championed by the Governor shall not fail to triumph.

The defeat of the speaker who was friendly to the policies of Pingree may result in the make up of com­mittees in such manner as to defeat every measure upon which the cam­paign of 1898 was made. But again

: Pingree forces blame themselves and each other for a bungling cam­paign and likewise they contend that the eleven members of tlie House who are said to have made double pledges on the Speakership, are not bound to fall in line with the anti-administra­tion faction. In fact it is whispered that these men can, now that the plums in the gift of the Speaker are dispensed, he counted on to act from similar motives in casting tlieir lot with the powers controlling the pat­ronage. This would give hack to the administration element the bal­ance of power and enable the Pingree forces which are now fully aroused, to pass the Atkinson Bill and other popular measurss which are outlined in the message of the Governor and by the heads of the different depart­ments.

It will therefore be seen that the one side has not relaxed its efforts because of the first skirmishes won, nor the other ceased hoping.

One important question which hangs in the balance now is whether the sessions are to he reported by stenographers or not. The reports of the special session which were un­der the management of Harvey A. Sherman, were made by volunteer contributions. Of course the long session will not he reported on this basis. Mr. Sherman, however, be­lieves he ean devise means for re­porting this session at a very incon­siderable c6st. It is argued that the present jotifnal of the two houses is practically valuless and that the good efforts to follow the publica­tion of the doings of the two houses

full will more than compensate for the added expense. House clerk Miller, however, declares that the undertaking is too gigantic, since it is not regularly done anywhere ex­cept in judicial proceedings and by the Congress of the United States.

The elective positions in the House were filled as follows: Speaker, E.J. Adams, Grand Rapids; Sergeant at Arms, Wm. F. Shepherd, Lenawee Co.; Asst Postmaster, C. B . "Willis, Allegan Co.; The officers of the Senate are: President pro tem, R.B. Loomis, Grand Rapids; Secretary,C. S. Pierce, Oscoda; Sergeant at Arms, Moses Parshalsky, Detroit; First Asst Sergeant, Hezekiah Sweet, Hijlsdale; Second Asst., John Hill, Genesee; Postmaster, T. J. Clark, Alma.

Among the corporations filing arti­cles with the Secretary of State to­day was the Detroit Sugar Co., with a capital stock of §500,000 the prin­cipal place of business being Detroit and organized for the ptirpqse of mating sugar from beets. The To­ledo White Lead Co., a domestic corporation with, a special stock of $25,000 also filed articles.

Members are beginning to arrive from their homes whither they went for the recess. The time has been actively employed by the President of the Senate Lieutenant Governor Robinson, and Speaker of the House, Adams, in making up their respec­tive appointments, and making the committee^ assignments. The final appointments will he made 'public "Wednesday evening.

The House was opened this after­noon by the reading of the 23d psalm- and reliijioirs51 exercises'. "by Rev. Thomas, of ' Lansing. Among the absentees at roll call were Carton, Dingley and Chamberlain. A ten days leave of absence was asked for Rep. Foster, of Traverse City, and an indefinite leave absent i for F. C.

Commercial failures were 12,ISO, with liabilities of $130,- 002,899, 15.3 per cent less than last year and 43.2 per cent less than in 1890. The average of liabilities per failure, $10,722, is the smallest over recorded. The ratio of defaults to solvent business is really smaller than in previous years, even of the greatest prosperity, as they are but $1.89 for every $1,000 paid through clearing houses, hut such payments formerly covered.stock transactions of many thousands millions yearly which are now settled through Stock Exchange clearing houses.

EGG-EATING IIENS.Be careful in feeding

fowls. Hens often learn to eat their eggs from eating the egg shells that are given to them with their fond. They find it easy to crush the shells that are thus thrown in their way and probably-the taste of a portion of the contents left in the fresh shells is not the least incentive to break other shells in the nest. I f you have plenty of oysters or clam shells or ground bone the amount’of lime in the egg shells is scarcely worth sav­ing for your fowls and should be thrown in the fire to be pulverized and thrown out with the ashes. How­ever i f you desire to s.ave them pound them fine and mix in their food thus avoiding all semblance of egg eating. Perhaps all the fowls in the lloclc could never lcai n independ­ently this bad trick; but there al­ways a few who easily learn and they teach the rest. "We would put it down-as one of the rules for care of poultry to pulverize egg shells before putting them where fowls can get at them.

WHOLE WHEAT FOIt FOWLS.There is more solid nutriment in.

whole wheat for poultry than in any of the cereals, weight for weight.It is an excellent kind of grain for tills use though somewhat more ex­pensive than other sorts; but too much of this hearty feed is detrimen­tal. Fowls are very partial to wheat.It helps the laying capacity of hens but it should not be used except with discretion as to the quantity allowed them daily. A excess of of this raw grain will induce a loose­ness of the bowels very frequently. It is easy of digestion and should be furnished in moderation as a needful and most desirable variety in con­junction with other foods such as cracked corn, oats, barley, buck­wheat, meat, cabbage, etc. If not not more than one-third or oue- fourtli wheat is allowfrd with the other cereals, for ordinary purposes in the laying season, liens will do quite as well, and they can thus be kept, in better condition than by greater allowance.

COLD WEATHER AND EGGS. Warmth is most essential for pro­

moting laying. A severe frost will sometimes suddenly stop the laying of even the most prolific hens. It is the winter management of fowls that decides the question of profit or loss, for hens will be sure to pay in the summer, even if only tolerably at­tended to. It is believed by many that each hen can produce only certain number of.eggs; and if such be tlie caseitisveiy advantageous to obtain a portion of them in -winter when they are generally scarce and can he eaten while fresh, instead of having the whole number produced in the summer, -when so many are spoiled from too- long keeping, in consequence of more being produced than are required for use at that time.

1ROFIT IN EGGS.One of the curious thing about

poultry raising is the demand for eggs still keeps ahead of the domes­tic supply. This demand is met in part by importing large numbers of eggs from England and France. We see in this a bright future for tlie do­mestic American hen. But all the profit in poultry is not in the eggs they produce. And there are other feathered bipeds who will put in a disclaimer if ignored. The turkey, goose and duck have made them­selves names but little less renowned than their prolific contemporary, the lien, and surely they are worthy a niche in this true history, as theirs is a renown of martydroni, as they are destined solely for market. But the supply of meat furnished by poultry is proportionately greater than the amount furnished by the increased herds of cattle.

wattles, when exposed to severe freezing weather, will lie almost sure to have one or both of their' ~\\ attles and combs tipped by freezing. At night when at rest in a cold hennery, the comb is sit first attacked, being more exposed and damp from breath­ing, the wattles partly prot cted by breast feathers. When drinking from an open dish, tlie wattles often get wet and freeze readily. When fi list­ed there is a discoloration of the comb, ustistlly on a line with tlie base of the points and on the edge of the wattles, which at first turn a purplish color and afterwards become pale and bloodless. The biids wiil.be. noticed rubbing the parts against the feathers, as there is a stinging and ticklish sensation in them. Annoint the parts wit-li witch hazel oil lifter bathing in cold water.

BREAKING DP A HENWhen heps show a desire to set

divide the runs into two with wire netting, keeping half the fowls in one division and half in the other. As soon as a heh;in one yard shows any signs o f hroodjnQSs she should be placed in the other, when she will invariably spend two or three days in running backward and forward try­ing to get ba’ek through the wire; at the end of that time she has quite forgotten that she wants to sit, can be returned, end will probably com­mence laying again in about three weeks. T]je plan is obviously supe­rior to that usually' follow ed by pooping a lien when broody, as the incessant_exercise must have a strong effect iu lessening- the tendency to sit. . p . H. Jacobs,

The soldiers who wemt down into the fever-infected island of Cuba discov­ered many strange /things about the climate and dtsi effeetsupontheim. The terrific downpours of rain, like noth­ing to which they were accustomed,, followed so shortly by blistering heat for a few hour®, were a decided novelty, especially to the Chicago soldier®, ac­customed though they are-to the varia­ble weather of this city. But perhaps the odde&t ma-nifestationi of the cli­mate was in the fact that nearly all the men who had gold fillings in,their teeth, discovered before they left- Cuba or soon after their return home that the fillings had either loosened or dropped out altogether, say® the Chi­cago Chronicle.

Whether the gold shrunk or the teeth expanded, under the influence of the peculiar climatic conditions is something thatretumed warrior® have not determined, but certain they are that some strange things happened which made the1 fillings loosen and drop out and the dentasits who performed the original -operation® have been busy ever since trying to explain the why®.

A correspondent returned from Porto- Rico, who spent (several months on, a dispatch boat cruising between Cuba and Jamaica and the other is­lands -of rhose sea®, reports another odd circumstance. The bunch of keys he carried in his pocket from the time he left Chicago wa® not only badly corroded, but an aluminum- tag at­tached. to the key ring was as badly msted and corroded as if it were tin. And these key® and the tag never fell into the wa-ter or were exposed to the dews by an accident. They corroded while presumably safe in their own­er’s pocket.

Ornm nental Lands o f tlie In fan t Races.

The controlling idea of ancient art was to beautify the earth. The entire world was conceived, in eastern imagi­nation as a garden, sayis Lippincott’s. The great mountains and broad val­leys, with their livers and, wooded plains, were but the modern park ren­dered colossal. Like Estes park, in Colorado, or the Y-ello.w®toneNational park, inclosing thousands of square miles and whole mountain range®!, all kept as a- delight to- the eye, the east­ern abode of men, including the whole visible world, was deemed an object fit to be beautified, in which landscapes, cities and contiguous- kingdoms were to be elements and play the part which statue® and,shrubbery do with us. Tlhe first garden of the world—Eden—was the greatest, and the ornamental lands of the infant races were co-extensive with the world. All Syria glittered in the snn with sparkling cities that dotted1 its warm plain® like the white dwellings scattered on the hills of southern France. It was a garden in vtihich cities were the flowers and mountain ranges the retreats, where t'he valley of Rasselas and the vale of Cashmere would he butt sunny spo ts. About the earliest work of art pro­jected in that country—the tower of Babel—was designed- to be a monu­ment so high that all the world could see it. like Pike’® peak to the emi­grants "of the plain®, it was to be a uni­versal guide, which, like a compass or landmark, should prevent the people, whenever wandering, from scattering beyond/ recall.

Two year® ago, when, the Klondike fever was an epidemic on the Pacific coast, say® Truth, John Harm® and wife, of Suisun, with, their three- months-old baby, took passage on a st eamer from San/Francisco to the go-id field®. They to ok with them from their h-ome a large dog, of no special breed, bnt, as Mr. Barms says, “dogs are valuable on. the Yukon,” and, as Mirs. Harms ®aid, “Jim wu® baby’s protect­or.” The many stories of dogs’ affec­tion for children wer-e mot exaggerated in. Jim’s case. Hi&only object of earth­ly worship was that baby. After a few months’ residence on Bonanza creek, the baby died, and. Jim was in­consolable. He would not permit caresses- or attentions even from, his master, but kept watch over the little -mound on the hill for many days and night®. One day he came home, and, after being fed by Mbs. Harms, trotted off in the directi on of an. Indian village about a mile distant. He was gone for two or three days. One evening, when Mr. and Mrs. Harm® were eating their evening meal, they heard Jim’s scratch on the d-o-or, and upon -opening i t th e r e he stood, wagging his tail ferociously and looking very happy, and at his feel lay a little Indian baby he had stolen "and carried home, tied up in a piece of old blue blanket, witth nothing visible but it® little round face.

THE OYSTER I N ’ EUROPE.

An oyster feast is held every year at Colchester, England, but this year’s feast was the greatest on record. A special t-raiu carried down the guests from London, and, say® tlie YVe®Mnin- st-e/r Gazette, beside® the duke of Cam­bridge, the- lord mayor of London and his sheriff® and the 1-o'rd provost of Ediwbiftgh were among those intent on playing the walrus and the- car­penter. with the waiting oysters-. The picturesque old town was en fete, and gay with flag® and soldiers. The first function, was the laying of the corner stone of the Tower hall, which ie to be a commodious' and handsome "building, with, a cl-ock tower. Then- followed the grandest -oyster banquet ever held in England.

Apropos, the Sketch celebrates the oyster- at- length, saying in. the course of its article: The most interesting experiment® in. oyster culture have been made iu Holland. TheDutchpos­sessed splendid natural beds among the. island® o f Zeeland, and. in the £uyfler Zee, but excessive dredging had almost exhausted them. In 1870 it was- determined to try the effect of oyster culture. In the neighborhood- of Yer- siebe, ita that part of the island ofBev-e- land. where, the Ooster Scheldt washes the ’ ’Drowned Lands” oyster fisheries were withdrawn from the public and leased .out for 15 year® to oyst-er c,ul- turiste at ‘an inclusive yearly rental of about £ 1,700. So successful Wu® the experiment that dn 1885 the fisheries Were released at an. inclusive yearly rental of about £ 28,000.’ More than this, whereas 25 years ago there were only poor hamlet® in the-neighborhood of the oyster fisheries-, prosperous vil­lage® have now sprung up and the Dutch “native” fairly disputes the palm for excellence of flavor with the Brit* jteh-frornoyster. _ . .

January Sales have become famous in tlie larger cities and are so deservedly popular that I have been studying the methods of foremost merchants in this direction in order to provide equal opportunities to my patrons. Believing thoroughly that South. Bend people have grown away from provincialism, T propose conducting my business on NEW LINES— adopting NEW IDEAS to keep pace with the GROWING JUDGMENT OF THE PEOPLE.

With the best judgment used in buying there will be accu­mulations in every store as the result of over confidence in the- buyer— this does not detract from the QUALITY but compels PRICE REDUCTIONS. This is the case with MUSLIN UN­DERWEAR in my store and consequently you can buy—

GOWNS that sold for double the money last year, now for 50c, 75c, $1, $1.25, $1.50, $1.75, and some that are very cheap at 35c.

CORSET COVERS, worth double the money, at 15c, 20c, 25c, 30e, 35c, not a cheap flour sack garment, thrown together for 7 or 8 cents, hut just as good is one needs to own.

Thus, the lessons which the war has for us as to the relative .efficiency of rifles and , machine guns are in a carefully written chapter by Lieut. John H. Parker, of the United States , army; the military movements of the Santiago and Porto Rican campaigns are analyzed by the editor of theArtnvtttid fS’auyJoMrwul; the battle with Cerveral9 described by the novelist, Winston Churchill, who is a graduate of theUnited StatesNaval Academy; the actual condition ‘

1 of Cuba before the war and the facts which caused the war are described by eye-witnesses,1 Hnrat Halstead and Stephen Bonsai.

The schools of Buchanan will this year celebrate Washington’s birth­day. I f any hoy or girl wishes something to speak, let him send to Hon. J. E. Hammond, Lansing.

Pupils who have pictures of Washington or Lincoln may lend them to the school for this occasion. They may be brought in a few days earlier and hung in the school-room, so that pu­pils may become familiar with the picture.

Pittsburgh, Pa,, Jan. 12.—The com­mittee appointed to investigate the books o f the United Mine Workers of America was not ready to report when the convention opened Wednesday morning and, after a short session, dur­in g which nothing of importance was done, a recess was taken until two o ’clock in the afternoon.

The investigating committee was at work all night and will probably not finish the work before this morn­ing. The convention is still an unor­ganized body and practically no busi­ness has yet been accomplished. After the seating o f the delegates an election o f officers will be held, and this will leave but two days in which the impor­tant business o f the convention must be rushed through to completion in time to meet the operators in the inter­state convention next week. Many of the delegates are becoming provoked over what they consider is unnecessary delay, and a number have expressed their determination of leaving for home to-day i f the convention does not get down to business.

A fter the adjournment the investi­gating committee held another meeting and adopted a resolution requesting the convention to send a committee to In­dianapolis for the cash book. The del­egates were hastily called together and the convention reconvened.

A motion to send a committee to Indianapolis reopened the bitter fight o f Tuesday and the delegates wrangled for nearly two hours, the convention finally taking another recess without reaching a vote on the motion. During the discussion charges were made that certain delegates were in the pay of op­erators, that the tactics of delay were in the interest of the employer and those favoring the delay wanted to pre­vent an election of officers until after the meeting with the operators next week.

A t the afternoon session John Fahey reported the investigating committee was handicapped by not having all the books necessary for a full investiga­tion. A number of inaccuracies were discovered in the report on credentials. A long and animated discussion fo l­lowed on the necessity of sending to ln - dianapalis fo r the books. Treasurer Pearce finally made a speech showing that all necessary boohsw ere here and the resolution was voted down. A b s o ­lution. by “Dad” Hunter, o f Illinois, was adopted, giving the investigating com­mittee until nine o ’clock to-day to com­plete its report, with theunderstanding that i f not ready then the report o f the credentials committee would he taken up.

By local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deaf­ness, and that is hy constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused hy an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed, yon have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely clos­ed deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can he taken and this tube restored to its normal con­dition, hearing will be destroyed for­ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by. catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

$33,508 24During, the past year we have built the

house for contagious diseases, mentioned in our report of last year. A t that time we thought of building a two room house at an estimated cost of §500. Afterward we concluded to build larg­er so that more patients could be cared for and the sexes • kept separate when desirable. We have a house with two sick rooms, two bed rooms for .nurses,-one small room for kitchen and laundry, two clothes closets, two bath­rooms, with tubs and privy conveniences, and a hall, costing §200 more than the estimate for a two room building.

Gyving to a large increase of idle people dur­ing the winter and early spring months caused largely by an increased immigration to the two cities in the north part of the county, of people looking for-employment; the poor fund has been drawn on more largely than ever before. And to tins has been added a larger number of in- dignent strangers, who have broken their' legs andihad to he cared for by the superintendents of the poor. These cases are very expensive as they must have care night and day, and the doctors bills are large. With no reason to ex­pect a better state of things for the coming year we cannot see our way clear to bring up arrears and meet the demands on the poor fund with less than §4,500. and respectfully ask that that sum be appropriated for our use.

A ll of which is respectfully submitted.J. A . Donaldson,G. A. CORELL,T. W . Reynolds.

THE delights o f an evening spent around, a well-lighted read­

ing tabid are not half understood. A n illustrated magazine with its wealth o f illustrations, its stories o f adventure and love, its descriptions o f travel which carry you to the remotest

ends o f the earth, and its instructive articles fo r you n g and old— these . are the first requisites fo r your own enjoym ent and the entertainment, r.jnd proper education o f you r qhjldren.■b « T o secure fo r you the best and m ost interesting o f the great illus­

trated magazines at the lowest possible price has been the a im 'o f the editor o f this journal. That w e have succeeded we leave our readers to judge. A special contract recently entered into with The C osm o­politan, which seeks to becom e better know n in this neighborhood, has enabled us to offer you a year’s subscription to the greatest o f the illus­trated magazines together with a year's subscription to this journal,

BothTogetherOneYearforOntySl.85In this w ay you secure you r ow n hom e paper and an illustrated

magazine at a price that is on ly about a fourth o f what som e o f the illustrated magazines sell for. For three years The Cosmopolitan has undisputedly claimed that it reached the largest clientele possessed by any periodical," daily, weekly or m onthly, in the world. It was The Cosm opolitan which sent Julian Hawthorne to India to let the w oild know the real horrors o f famine and plague. It was The C osm opol­itan which established at its own cost a great Free Correspondence University which now has over 20,000 students on its rolls. It was The Cosmopolitan which offered a prize o f $3,000 fo r the best horse­less carriage and prizes for best plans for public baths, and best arrange­ment o f sewer and pipe systems for cities. It was The Cosmopolitan which set_.the presidents o f great schools and universities seriously discussing" the defects o f existing educational systems. It is The Cosmopolitan whose enterprise is always in the lead in advancing the

~ .wodd’s civilization. _W e have also succeeded in arranging, fo r tw o additional o ffe rs 'n

connection with this journal and The Cosmopolitan.After placingon your book-table the best o f the illustrated magazines

in connection with"\ cur hom e paper, probably the m ost important thing in a household— for every household, in fact— is the proper keeping o f accounts. The only thorough system o f Self-instruction in Bookkeeping is the “ Ellis.” It is not only a complete instructor, but with it, neatly put up in a box, g o sales-book, cash-book, journal, ledger, bill-heads, statements, bank-book, bills payable and bills re­ceivable, checks, remitting book and every conceivable appliance fo r beginning and carrying bn the business o f the farm , the shop, the manufactory or the store. More people fail in business because they do not keep their accounts straight than from any other cause. Farmers and mechanics, husbands and wives, students and profes­sional men, young and old, rich and poor, all need som e knowledge o f accounting. By the “ Ellis System” this is easily acquired through hom e study.

The cheapest price at which this is sold at retail is $1.75 (express from Michigan unpaid), but The Cosmopolitan has purchased m any thousands o f sets so that it m ay offer them if taken in connection with this paper and’ The Cosmopolitan v
