Recently the min- isters of that town made bitter war- fare on the academy because of that, denouncing the faculty in scathing terms from the pulpit and advising their members not to patronize the school. The Board of Trustees of the school brought suit against the preachers for libel. The judge be- fore whom the case was tried sus- tained the demurrer to plaintiff's petition. He held in substance that the preachers did not libel the school by charging that dancing was taught therein, because dancing is neither immoral nor illegal, nor is it considered hurtful to the morals of a community by a majority of peo- ple. = = nee — LET THE PEOPLE Say.

Bonds may be issued if necessary to protect the public credit, but I don’t think the present situation 1s such as to re- quire an issue. I have the utmost faith in the government's desire and ability to protect its credit, and I think the people generally have such a degree of confidence that the prescnt situation is not alarming.” for this purpose and they should | \have a voice in the matter.

At the time the water-works prop- osition was voted in Butler, one of the most effective arguments used in its favor was that insurance would be cheaper as the fire risk would be much less. After the water-works were established the reduction in rate of insurance did not materialize to any great extent. It remained as it was. A proposition was then submit- ted to light the city and the busi ness men were told that it would not cost them a cent additional tax, as the license on the insurance com panies would be increased by the city council to raise the amount re- quired for that purpose. The coun- cil did raise the license from six to twenty dollars,which derived enough revenue to pay for the light. So far so good. But it did not end there. At this juncture the insurance com- panies took a hand and increased the rate fifteen per cent, or enough to more than cover the difference in the license. Who pays the tariff? The business men are paying for the light in additional insurance and more too It is demonstrated be yond a doubt that the insurance companies do not intend to pay for the light. Then a tax should be so arranged that the burden would be distributed amcng all the citizens of the city. The council should reduce the in- surance license to where it was,with the understanding that the insurance companies reduce the rate of in surance fifteen per cent, or to where it was before they began to pay for the light. We frankly admit that we, like the rest, were deceived by that kind of sophistry and thought ita big thing and huge joke to have foreign com- panies come in here and pay for our light. But we find that this is very similar to the foreigner paying the tariff to run our government. He may pay it but like the insurance companies he collects it off our peo- ple. A Little Trayeler. Nevada, Mo., April 23.—Seven- year old Alice Allen arrived here last night on her way to her grand- father, from Vinita, I. T., her only trouble beivg that she did not know where her grandfather lived except that he lived somewhere in Missouri. She was put off the tram at Fort Scott night before last where she remained all night in the depot and where a kind hearted conductor found her and brought her on to this point. It is thought her friends reside in one of the counties border ing upon Kansas. She is being car- ed for and every effort will be made to find her relatives. Movberly’s Great Revival Moberly, Mo., April 24—Elder J, A. Boyer, evangelist, closed here to night a meeting which had been in progress for five weeks, resultiug in over 200 additions to the Chistian church. The meeting all through was one of great interest, many mak- ing confessions who were almost given up as lost by their friends. Never before in the history of Mo- berly was there such interest mani- fested. People come from all see- tions, and to-night the crowd was estimated at 1,600. As many more were turned away from the building. | Elder Boyer came here from Des Moines, Iowa, aud goes to St. Jo seph, Mo., to engage in evangelical work there. BABY RUNNING SORE Worst Sight Ever Seen. Legs, Hands, Arms, Body One Solid, Deep, Running Sore. Itis the proud boast of the re- publican party that it dissipated the surplus left in the treasury by a democratic administration. It was a great achievement and one which the people of this country will long remember. The mere fact that the surplus was expended wantonly and extravagantly was bad enough, but coupled with the enormous crime of an increased continuous debt, so that it not only makes it impossible to ever again accumulate a surplus, but the people must be taxed to meet this increased expense. Mr. Cleveland finds a very different con- dition confronting him to what he left four years ago. Now he isstrain- ing every nerve to keep from issuing bonds to meet the demands upon the treasury. Four years more of the republican administration con- ducted in the same manner, and this country would have been a bank- rupt, with repudiation as the only possible means of escape. Began Using Cuticura. In Two Weeks Great Improvement Followed by a Complete Cure. My ehild began to be sore when two months old, —Eczema on his face and head. It rapidiy spread over all his body. Every one who saw him said he was the worst sight they ever saw. He had to be wound in linen cloths ever so many times a day, and then he would stick fast to his clothes. I could not dress him alone for months. His little legs, hands, and arms were just one solid deep running sore: he was sore all over, but the deepest ones were on his arms, legs, and face. His face and ears had great deep cracks in the flesh, and were swollen so that he did not look likeachild. His were the worst sores I have ever seen of kind. We began using the Cuticvra REMEDIES, and in two weeks we could see a great_improvement, and now he is completely cured. His skin is smooth Sa SaaS ee and white, and be esems entirely well.

Says ‘Treasury Notes Will be Ke- deemed in Gold Parity to be Kept Petween Gold and Silver. Washington, April 21.—To a rep- resentative of the Associated Press President Cleveland said to day: “The inclivation on the part of public to accept newspaper reports concerning the intentions of those charged with the management of our national finances seems to justi- fy my emphatic contradiction of the statement that the redemption of any kind of treasury notes except in gold has at any time been determin- <«dupen or contemplated by the Secretary of the treasury, or any Washington D.
