NEW PHASE OF
SCHOOL SITUATION
The Examinations of Substitute
Teachers Involve City Superinten
dent Qarr and One or More Mem
bers of the School Board Mr. Garr
Says No Re-Examinations for
Teachors Who Failed, Though the
Board Has Asked for One The
Status of the Seeminp Conflict.
A new phat-e has developod In tlif
pchool board situation, one which Is
likely to crowd In the background for
the present at least, the deadlocking
of the directors over the election of
rrofessor Hryden to the prlnclpalshlp
of the High school.
The examination of the substitute
teachers and other candidates for
teacher.Milps are what have switched
Interest, as ll were, from the prlncl
palsh!'. ThouRh It has not been an
nounced to the public in an official
way, the elast of substitute toacheis
and f rarluates who took the examina
tions several weeks before City Super
intendent fiarr failed, not one in
the entire class l cached the minimum
percentace required by the examiner.
It was a sore disappointment to the
candidates and their friends, who
bullded on the success of the under
taking, but "hope springs eternal In
the human breast." and the belief was
cherished that there would be a le
cxamlnation, as was true of the first
year of Superintendent (Sarr's adminis
tration, When there were numerous
failures among the teachers who tried
to qualify. The superintendent, how
ever, announced beforehand that theie
would be but one examination, but thii
did not cause the unsuccessful and dis
appointed ones to put aside their hopes
and they were rewarded, as It were, a
few wcks later, when the school board
made a request, asking the superin
tendent fo give the class that failed
another chance by holding a second
examination. It has developed, how
ever, that Mr. Oan, who is conceded
to possess a firmness of purpose In
matters In which he believes he is
fltht. dues not intend to hold another
eximlnntlnn In fact, this Is his pur
pn.v and Ills edh t was sent forth In
an answer to one of the class which
failed, in which he decl.ued "theie will
be no re-examination. "
Tin." is what has caused ills'tuibanre
enough to pieiipitate a mild stoim,
this seeming conlllct with the express
ed wishes of the board. Indicated in
the request of a few weeks ago. The
directors, or at least those who es
peelally favored the Idea of another
chance for those who failed, believed
that th. wishes of the board would bo
regarded, and it is safe to say that it
was somewhat of a Jar. the news of
Mr. Oarr's decision. School directors,
like the jest of humanity, are sensl
the ov.c hulng their wishes set aside,
and It will not be much a hazard to
declare that there are some milled
-tempers among the dliectors. because
of Mr. Garr's decision, which In some
quarters Is legarded as tantamount to
Ignoring the board's wishes. It will
also be safe to hazard the guess that
thlB ery matetr will be a fertile topic
of1 'discussion at the next meeting of
the board, unless there Is n decided
change of opinion, of which there is no
Indication at present.
The superintendent, It should be
said, Is safe In the course that he Js
taking, so far as observing the legal
proprieties of his ofllce, but it Is his
apparent opposition to the wishes of
the board that has stirred up the dis
cussion that waxes warmer as it pro
gresies. The Tribune man was unable to
reach Mr. Garr last night to ascertain
his views, hut there Is little doubt that
he can find some ground on which to
stand In defense o' his position. It Is
an open secret that the classes of in
struetlon established by him for the
benefit of substitute teachers and
others were not taken advantage of as
they might have been, and It Is
shrewdly suspected that this may have

A woman at me Bottom of it.
" rpHERE'S a woman at the bottom of it." How
X often, when some "good man goes wrong,1'
you hear that calumnious whisper! But
how rarely do men realize that when thoy succeed
in life, whon the family grows up in health and vigor,
there's a woman at the bottom of it. The woman
member of that famous athletic family, standing at
the bottom of the human pyramid and supporting hus
and children, is only a type of thousands of women
who by brain and body uphold tho husband and the
homo. Hardly anybody knows tho work or worth
of such a woman. Even her husband doesn't
know the extent of his debt to her. She is a mod
est, self-sacrificing little woman. She hides tho
bruises and sores which she has gained in the
struggle and strain of her life even from her hus
band. And this is tho sort of woman who fades
away in her prime, and loaves a husband and
family rich and prosperous to awake too late to
her worth and virtue.
It is useless to say to such a woman, " Stand
from under. The load is too great for your
strength. Tho load she has taken she will carry
to the end. The best thing to say to her is, " If
you can't diminish your burden you can increase
your strength. Bring your
strength up to the weight
you havo to carry." Thou
sands of women havo heard
that message with glad
hearts. And thousands of
women are alive to-day who
had given up hope of living,
but are restored to health
and happiness by the use
of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription. It is not the ordinary
wear and tear of life which breaks down the
woman's health. It is the secret, subtle drains
on her vitality, made by diseasas of the dolicato
womanly organs, which at last bring collapse.
Tho power of ''Favorite Proscription '' to heal
and strengthen is primarily dependent on the
ract tnat it heals womanly diseases, and
strengthens the delicate womanly organs.
It regulates the periods, dries enfeebling
drains, heals inflammation and ulceration
and cures female weakness. Its use ren
ders childbirth practically painless, and
enables the mother to provide abundant
nutrition for the nursing child.
A PRAYER UNANSWERED.
"I think if it were not for your ' Pavorite Prescription' I
would have been in ray grave, and my little boy and mv bus
Kind would have been alone," writes Mrs. Edwin H. Gardner,
of Epjypt, Plymouth Co., Mass., Box 14. "Your medicine
almost raised me from the dead. I had pain all over me, and
such a dragging feeling it seemed I could not do my housework.
I had to sit down to wash the dishes, even, and also to do some
of my other work, too. In the year 1897, I was so sick I did
not care to live, and prayed many times that God would take
me. Then I thought of my little boy and my husband and
tbmifrbr it would be flre.ldfill in rrn nnd Imip tlmrn bViltiH
so one day I was looking over my papers
in which I used to keep my husband's accounts. I read it, and
thought I would write to Dr, Pierce. I sat down, as sid as ever,
and wrote a few lines to him, and in a few days received an
answer. I decided to try his medicines, and to-day I am a well
woman. I have no headache, no pain at all. I used always
to have headache previous to the monthly periods, and such
pain that I would roll on the floor in agony. This sometimes
would occur even' two weeks, and I v.ould be very weak after
ward. I was in pain all over. My feet would slip from under
me when I would try to go across the room, and I could not walk any distance
without being in pain. Words canuot express what I suffered in two months.
After I had taken one bottle of Dr. Tierce's Favorite Prescription I began to feel
better. I took three bottles of ' Favorite Prescription ' and three of Golden Med
ical Discovery ' and three vials of Dr. Pierce's Pellets, and was completely cured."
That is the kind of cure which follows the use of
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It isn't a half cure.
It is a perfect cure. It's a common testimony of those
cured by this medicine, " I am a well woman. I was
in pain all over, but now have no pain at all."

If you are sick there is nothing better you can do
than to follow Mrs. Gardner's example, when, in her
helplessness, she wrote a few lines to Dr. Pierce. That
few lines of correspondence has been tho beginning of
a new lifo to many a woman. Dr. Pierco invites sick
women to consult him by letter absolutely free. Ho
places at the service of every sick woman his wide
experience in the treatment of woman's diseases, gath
ered in over thirty years of practice and in tho treat
ment and cure of more than half a million sick women.
To his own services he adds those of his staff of
nearly a score of medical specialists, engaged
every day in tho treatment of diseases in the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo,
N. Y., of which well-known institution Dr. R. V.
Pierce is chief consulting physician.
It is well to remember that while anyone can
offer " medical advice," only a physician can give
it. To seek medical advice of any man or woman
who is not a physician is even moro foolish than
to employ your butcher as a dressmaker.
There is no other offer of freo medical advice

A friend 1 wrote and told me about Dr. K. V. Pierce, and I at once wrote
to him for medical advice. He replied immediately, giving me full in

Dr. Pierce's Favorito Prescription can
be used freely without tho fear of acquiring
some terrible drug habit, which frequently
follows the use of certain medicines prepared

narcotic.
"AN EASY TIME,"
"When I wrote to yon in March, asking advice as to what to do
for myself," says Mrs. Ella Reynolds, of Guffie, McLean Co., Ky.
M was expecting to be Confined in June, and Mas sick all of the
time. Hail been sick for scleral months. Could not get anything
to stay in my stomach, not even water. Had miscarriage twice in
six months, threatening all the time with this one. Had female
weakness for seeral t.irs. My hips, back and lower bowels hurt
me all the time. Had numbness from my hips down. Had several
hard cramping stalls, and was not able to tlo any work at all. I
received our answer in a few days, telling me to' take Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. I took three Ixrttlcs, and before I liad taken
it a week I was better, and tefore I hnd taken it a month I was able
to help tlo my work. On the twenty-seventh of May my baby was
born, aiul I was only tick three hours, and had an easy time. The
doctor said I got along nicely, and my husband said if it had not
been for Dr. Pierce we would not have had this boy.
"We praise Dr. Pierce's medicine, for it lias cured me. I am
better now than I have been in thirteen years. I hope all that are
afflicted will do as I have done aud be cured."
