THE POOR BOARD
AND ITS DOCTOR
The Selection of a Medical Director
it tho Poor House Causes Another
Stir Last Night Mr. McMullcu'a
Flight Breaks Quorum and Holds
Up Business Tho Night's In
cidents. The spirit of rancor which has (II
ldod tho poor board members slnro
thoy have tiled to elect u doctor for
the poor house, broke out again last
night before tho board assembled for
its regular semi-monthly meetlnfr with
tlio result that there was no session to
dispose of even tho routine matters
. of the body.
There worn four members of the
board present When the meet hit;- hour
was reached, President Thomas. Secre
tary Williams and Messrs McCabe and
McMullnn. This was a quorum, but
Mr. McMillan had no Intention of lt
tlng In the meeting unless he was ns
Mircd that tho election of a doctor for
tho poor farm would not bo taken
up that It would bo allowed to rest
until dm novf. mcctlnc nf tho board.
The other members of the board re
fined to commit themselves as to
what would bo done with the doctor
ship and Mr. McMullan ungrlly with
drew frrnii the room, but not until ho
a nil Mr. McCabe had a wordy war; in
which they debated Warmly . on
various questions, tho one meeting tho
other with stinging retorts. Finally
Mr. McMullan withdrew from tho
jooin, thus breaking the quorum and
preventing tho meeting, holding up the
business of the board for another two
Weeks. Thus, once more, the divided
forces fell out over the election of tho
doctor for the poor farm, a question
that has resolved Itself Jnto a vexatious
problem.
When Mr. McMullan saw the meeting
hour approach his anxiety over
v bother or not the doctor's election
would ccnio up grew and ho seemed
quite apprehensive as to tho purpose
of his colleagues. Mr. McMullen, it
will be recalled. Is a champion of Dr.
!alley, while tho others present last
nighl Messrs. Thomas, "Williams and
McCabe. are the supporters cf his op
ponent. Dr. Malaun. Mr. McMullen
icallzed that if the election came up.
In would be helpless to prevent tho
matter from being disposed of. The
hopelessness of his caso stared at him
and he re'allzod, too". that his with
drawal from the meeting, and break
ing up the quorum, was his salvation.
Just as scon as be learned from hjs
opponent that they would not consent
to allowing the election to be pro
longed further, he huriledly grasped
his umbrella :md prepared to leave tho
loom. Some one suggested that If he
would continue these tactics, he would
be denied admittance. Mr. McMullen
made a characteristic return, in which
la- assured both Mi. Thomas and Mr.
McCabe that, he was fully able to pre
serve his own rights.
Mr. McCabe and Mr. McMullen then
engaged each other. This was as Mr.
McMullen was making his way to
wards the hall. The dialogue between
th(m;jvas about like this:
Mr. .McCabe "What do you mean
by not staying with us tonight,"
Mr. McMullen "That's all right,
now; that's all right. You said at tho
last meeting that yoil would not take
up this doctor question unless the
others were here. Now Hurko nor
I'ViiCh ain't here and yet you want to
pU.sh"'"thls thing through."
Mr. McCahe Well, by gosh! (pound
ing his desk and shaking his head at
McMullen) If they won't be here at
the nest meeting we will declare their
sea st vacated,"
"What do you mean, any way, Mr.
McMullen, by not electing a doctor'.'"
Mr. Met 'a ho broke out anew. "What
I! you knew that some one was sick
at the farm and needed a doctor, what
would you i, eh',"'
"What would 1 do'."' returned Mc
Mullen, "Why I'd sent a doctor out
there; that's all," he ended quite re
assuringly. "You would, eh'.' Well I lion you'd
pay for Itself," wild Mr. McCahe, very
positively, and with a determined
shake of the head,
Mr. McMullen did not reply, but left
the room muttering something about
being able to attend to his own busi
ness himself.
The other members who are united
with Mr. McMullen in favor of Dr.
l'alley and against Dr. Malaun are
Messrs, Hurke and Lynch. The for
liter Is out of the city attending a fune
ral and the latter it is presumed pre
ferred to absent himself until .Mr.
Burke returns.
The hoard has the power to vacate
the seats of any members who with
out good cause absents himself from
three successive meetings and after
.Mr. McMullen withdrew it was stated
that the power would be Invoked If
the missing members would he absent

TALK TO HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS
Comrade George S. Kimball Repre
sented Davles' Post and Qavo Soma
Interesting War Reminiscences.
Hospondlng to an Invitation In ad
dress the High school pupils on per
sonal experiences during tho War of
18(11-186,'., Comrade George H, Kimball
gave- a llfty-mlnutes' talk Friday af
ternoon to about L'OO people.
It has been customary for several
years for some comrade of the Grand
Army of the itepubllc. to talk to the
rising generation, previous to Memorial
dny. Last .May, Commander John Mu
Comb told the pupils about Gettys
burg and for one hour and thirty min
utes held their closest attention. Ills
description was entertaining and In
structive: made a deep Impression on
the minds of teachers and scholars.
Comrade Kimball's talk was on far
ragut's licet passing the batteries at
Port Hudson, and tho subsequent 'sur
render of Vlcksburg. He also told of
assault, by our troops on laud, later,
near Port Hudson, In which his regi
ment, the Twenty-sixth Maine, shed
much blood.
Comrade Klmbiill showed that this
country Is grand and glorious, because
the men and women of the tin's were,
willing to forfeit nronerty and life, tn
give It a further lease of fiecdotn and
Insure to coming generations greater
blessings. He Inculcated the Idea that
the boys and girls of today arc to as
sume grout responsibilities, and 'that
In order to properly do so they must
(liiallfy themselves to maintain the
principles for which tho boys In blue
contended. Several members of the
post were present, and were enthusi
astic. Comrade Kimball's talks arc
ever full of Interest.
On Monday morning next The Trib
une's second Kducntional Contest will
begin and all young men and women
of this town should read the full de
scrlution of It as It may prove to be
just the opportunity they have been
wishing for.

A Stealthy, Insidious, Weakening
Enemy to Women. , .
KEY, HARRIET R.
Itev. Harriet II. Kdwards in a recent loiter from Mt. Pleasant Park,
Clinton, la., writes: ;
"I have found that Peruna is a wonderful medicine to use in dis
eases peculiar to woman. It quickly and permanently restores health
and vigor and acts a3 a natural tonic to a worn-out system. I have
so far nover observed a case which was not greatly aided by its use."
Rev. Dr. H. R. Edwards.
There arc a' multitude of women,
especially housewives, and all other
women obliged to be on their feet con
stantly, who are wretched beyond de
scription, simply because their strength
and vitality Is sapped away by ca
tarrhal discharges from the pelvic or
gans. These women get up in the
morning tired.drag themselves through
their daily duties tired, only to go to
bed at night as tired as before.
Peruna Is such a perfect specHle for
each cane that when patients have
once used it they can never be induced
..I quit until they are permanently
cured. It begins to relieve the dis
agreeable symptoms at once. Tho
backache ceases, the trembling knees
are strengthened, the appetite re
stored, the digestion made perfect, the
dull headache is stopped and the
weakening drains are gradually cured.
These results ccitninly follow a course
of treatment with Peruna.
Barbara Alberty, corner Seventh and
Walnut streets, Apploton, Wis,, writes
as follows In regard to Peruna:
"For years I have suffered with
backache and
severe palmjlu
the side. I
doctored so
much that L
became d i s -con
raged.
"A s c li o o 1
friend told nu

much PerunaJ
nan Dcncutcu
tier and I sent
out for a bot
tle, which did
more to relieve
me than all
t h o o t it e r
medicine I had ever taken,
"I used faithfully for two weeks and
It completely cured inc. I have not
had any pains since, anywhere, but
feel like a new woman. I am truly
thankful for what Peruna has done
for me." Barbara' Alberty.
Mrs. Win. lletiiek. Keiiuard, Wash
ington county, Neb., writes:
"I am lil'ty-six years old and have
not felt well since the Change of Life
began ten years ago. I was In misery
somewhere most of the time. My
back was very weak, anil my llesh so
