laud, W. J. Kincaid, J. W Mangham,

These officers are men well known
in financial circles, and under their

to a grand success.
Material lor the building is arriving
daily, and dirt will be broken for lay*
ing the foundations in a lew days.
Build Up the Country.
There is much unnecessary talk
about building up cities and towns.
As a rule, such communities will
take care of themselves. They will go
forward or backward, or stand still,
under their natural laws of growth or
decay, and when it is possible'or
human effort to advance their interests
it is always safe to rely upon the active
work of those who expect to be per
sonally benefited by the progress of
the municipalities where they reside.
We need more talk about the up
building and the development of the
country districts—the rural communi
ties. The present steady movement
of the farmers and their children to
the town is one of the worst signs of
the times. It will ruin the country.
The best way to build up a town and
make it prosperous is to develop the
(arming districts around it.
The Government encourages manu
factoring, but it does very little for I
agriculture, beyond giving the farmers I
advice and garden seed. Millions of I
dollars are expended in giving cities I
and towns satisfactory mail .'anilities, I
but the farmers are not much better I
off iu this respect than their grand-i
fathers were a century ago—Current

He Knew How to Take It.
Here is a story which is vouched for
by a local Standard Oil official. It
concerns a certain superintendent
who was sent up to the company’s
works at \Vhiti-ng, to oversee matters.
One morning he was strolling about
with his eyes open he discovered an
Irishman laying pipe n thecustomary
excavation. The supe;miendent is a
very irascible man. In addition to
this, be has a wonderful command ol
sulphurous language. Something about
the man’s woik displeased him, and
he suddenly opened up on the poor
fellow with all his heaviest artillery.
But though be condemned him to
perdition in a different ways, the man
in the ditch never so much as looked
up If be had been deaf and dumb he
couldn’t have taken his roasting more
s olidly. The superintendent suddenly
pulled up in his wild tirade
“See here, my man,’’ he roared,
“don’t you know that I’m giving you
hell?”
The pipe layer paused. Slightly
turning his head he squinted .ip at the
superintendent
“An’ ain’t I inkin’ it like a little
nion?’ he asked quietly.

GEN. MERRITT S NIECE TRICKED
Husband Persuaded Her to Get a Di
vorce on Promise of Remarriage.
Seven y«-ars ago Miss May Berlin, a
niece of Gen. Wesley Men itt, was mar
ried in Chicago to a young Hebrew>
David Weinberg, then a student in a
local dental college. Their marriage
was opposed by the families of both
the man ami the girl, race prejudice
being apparently as strong on one side
as on tho other.
Weinberg began the practice of bis
profession there and was moderatelv
successful. His young wife assisted
him, and later on took up the study of
dentistry and became a more skillful
practitioner than her husband.
Weinbery considered himself a sport,
and the money he earned'was rapidly
dissipated in backing the wrong horses
on the race track.
His wife became the money maker
of the family, and when she refused to
provide him with funds, after he had
pawned her diamonds and other jew
elry to gratify his passion for “playing
the races,” his affection waned.
Weinberg determined to get rid of
his wife and resorted to a shrewd trick
to do it. He told her that their mar
riage—a civil ceremony—had greatly
displeased his parents, who were
wealthy, and that if she would embrace
the Hebrew faith and consent to an
orthodox marriage, it would be greatly
to tbeir advantage.
The wife, wbo was very fond of him,
agreed to become a Jewess.
Weinberg then suggested that she
should get a divorce and that they
could tin n be married by a rabbi,
This the confiding wife agreed to.
She filed a bill alleging that Wein
berg, who for the past two years has
been manager of the Boston dental
parlors in Racine, Wis , had deserted
her.
No defense was made and the di
vorce was granted. Weinberg cele
brated his newly acquired freedom by
a visit to Chicago, and called upon his
divorced wife She asked him about
the marriage which was to reunite
them, and be replied that once was
enough for him—New York Sun.

Staying Away From Church-
“Some times there is no good in go
[ ing to church,” writes Rev. Charles H.
[Parkburst, D I), on “What is the
Good of Going to Church?” in theJune'
■ Ladies Home Journal. “It depends I
I principally on the church It is often i
claimed that church attendance is on
i the decrease People are not going to
[ be drawn in by being scolded for stay
ing out. Nor are they going to be
[drawn in—in away to hold them—by
[being coaxed in by artificial seducs
[ tione. A good deal of money is put
[ into the artistic trimmings of sanctua
ry service, 'lhere is no objection to
I the artistic if it is wrought into the
body of the service, and not availed of
simply as so much millinery put on to
make the service more presentable.
The advertising of sensational topics
is another way the pulpit takes to
worry’ truth into reluctant hearts of
advertisement-captured congregations
it does not hold the people, but it does
cheapen the pulpit and set the home
of God in the same row with the dry
goods stores, millinery shops and other
institutions that put big headlines in
the newspapers and flaming placards
in the front windows We may call
the rank and file of people very god
less, but they are able t<> distinguish
remarkably well between fact and sic
lion in matters of religion. I believe
that ninety people out of a hundred
would respect God’s Imues if they were
sure that it is God’s house more than
it is man’s. It takes a good deal be
sides a pulpit, a choir loft and a spire
to make a church.”
Brave Men Fall
Victims to stomach, liver and kidney
troubles as well as women, and all feel the
results in loss of appetite, poisons in the
blood, backache, nervousness, headache
and tired, listless, run-down feeling. But
there’s no need to feel like that. Listen to
J. W. Gardner, Idaville, Ind. He says
“Electric Bitters are just the thing for a
man when he is all run down, and don’t
care whether he lives or dies. It did more
to give me new strength and good appetite
than anything I could take. I can now
eat anything and have a new lease on life."

'■ The English arc Sugar Eaters
In 1869 the English consumed on
the average, 42 pounds ol sugar per
capita annually That this i? enough
for either health or enjoyment is prov*
en by the fact that few people nee so
much today. For example, in 1896
Italy consumed 7 19 pounds per capi
ta ; Spain 12 67 pounds ; Austria-Hun
* gary 16 4-1 pounds; Belgium 22 8
pounds; Germany 27 14 pounds, and
France 28 21 pounds In the United
States, where the use of sweet- is said
to be injuriously excessive, only 35
pounds per capita were consumed in
1869, and 61 pounds per capita in
j 1898 In England during 1895-7 ev
( ery human being (including babies,
, invalids and paupers) disposed, on tbe
average, of nearly 4 ounces of sugar a
day, or 8477 pounds a year.
’ Furthermore, neither from the econ
omic nor the sanitary standpoint do
tbe uses to which this extra sugar ra
tion is put seem satisfactory. One of
tbe chief of these appears to be to en
courage drinking. Though tbe export
of beer from England show a tendency
to decline, brewing goes apace Twen
ty-seven gallons a year per capita,
, counting women and children, are
surely enough. Iu America, though
the amount of spirits drank is tbe
same, 15| gallons of beer suffice ; and
America beer ia light. Twenty seven
and one-quarter gallons were the
measure for England in 1883 ; yet in
1897 it had swelled to 31', gallons, an
expansion at the rate of about 1 per
cent, a year. But, fast as brewing
grows, the weight of sugar used in the
beer grows faster. In 1883 tbe public
put up with something leas than 4|
pounds of sugar to the barrel ; in 1897
it demanded between 8 and 9 pounds.

“When I was in Mexico last year,”
I saidjthe consulting engineer, according
[to tbe New York Tribune, “I was one
i of a party of foreigners invited to take
. a trip at the company’s expense over a
i certain railroad. Iho first day of the
i journey 1 was sitting smoking on the
' rear platform of tbe observation car,
■ while we stopped to take water at a
i lonely station. Just as tbe train was
i pulling out, a disreputable individual
■ swung on the bumper and started to
■ climb over the railing. Iu costume he
resembled one of Buffalo Bill's ‘greas-
i er’ cow-punchers,only he looked dirtier
1 and was raggid 1 sized him up for.a
. Mexican tramp, and I blocked his way.
He bung on to the railing, swearing
in Spanish at me, and though I
s couldn’t get the drift of bis remarks I
I used the worst Spanish words 1 knew
> in addressing him. The train kept
i gathering speed, and I don’t know
what would have happened if another
; man of the party hadn't come out on
the platform and asked what was ti e
trouble.
‘ 'l’m keeping this tramp from steal
ing a ride,’ I explained.

The New Orleans Picayune says;
“The sooner that Presioent McKinley
calls into being the provisional army
authoriz'd by Congress the better.
Tbe task before us is not a pleasant
nor profitable one ; but the national
honor demands that it be faced. The
people are extremely disgusted at the
way the war is dragging along, and
they demand that an end be made as
speedily as possible. The administra
tion’s hesitation, “backing and filling”
are becoming ridiculous, and will soon
bring the country into contenept
abroad. If the McKinley administra
tion is not better able to rise to the
demands of a true imperialist policy
than it now appears to be, it made a
serious mistake in ever essaying tbe
task. If a British ministry were guil
ty of tbe vacillation and weakness that
have characterized our government of
late, it would not last 24 hours.”

An Excellent Combination.
1 The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system, it
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.
