OUR COUNTRY : First, Last and Forever.
Tiik Herald n. week ago remarked
tliat the two Kepnbllcun Commis
sioners would organize the board, and
we are still of that opinion.
It Is now in order to consider what
irood resolution you will try to put in

not a subscriber to the Herald we
respectfully suggeot that you stop
borrowing and subscribe for it.
It Is said that Edward Atkinson,
the Chief Mogul of unti-itnperlalism,
is very fond of dried upples. This
suggests the possibility of making an
expansionist of the Hon. Edward by
the simple process of filling him witn
water after an Indulgence in his
favorite fruit.
Thk February election for borough
o dices is an important one to the citi
zens of Shenandoah. The nominees
of both parties should be subject to
the closest scrutiny, to the end tlmt
an improvement be made in the char
acter of local municipal officers.

the Journal at the same time. And
they both need it as we previously
remarked, in allopathy doses. Our
editorial brother, like ourselves,
knows what remedy is needed, and is
heroically administering it. We are
still of the opinion, however, that he
is beginning at the wrong end. While
we are reforming the Republican
leaders, apply also the lash to those
"brilliant newspaper men" who ply
their trade at the sacrifice of regu

sufficient experience with some of
them to enable him to take the hint.

Chicago, Dec. 27. Clyde H. Wallace,
a clerk In the United States sub-treas
ury In this city, was arrested yesterday
on the charge of having stolen ?5,000
in gold from the olnce. The young
man Is said to have made a full con
fession to the secret service officials.
The gold, a sack of ?20 gold pieces,
was missed Nov. 15, but It was several
weeks before the officers rould obtain
a clew to the criminal. Wallace finally
furnished it by wearing fine clothes
and diamonds and by playing the races
In pool rooms, making all his bets
with $20 gold pieces. He is now In
jail In default of bonds of $10,000.
Accidents come with distressing frequency
on the farm. Cuts, bruises, stings, sprains.

Consumption Cured.
BROUGHT BACK FROM TJIIi GRAVE.
Last November Mr. loseph Tames,
nainter. of 325 W. Pearl St.. Indlanano-
fis, Iud., was at death's door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of ulceration;' his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him a
bottle of Brazilian Halm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised Hts
continued use. Mr. James soon after
dismissed uis doctor, ana depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid utid complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his wight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.
COMMA IIAC1LI.US.
In consumption beware of cough mix
tures and prescriptions that contain
opium. Opium paralizes the nerves,
and gives the comma bacillus a good
chance to destroy the limes. It is
always fatal, Brazilian Balm does not
contain a trace of any opiate, but stimu
lates the nerves with new life and power,
destroys the microbe, and restores all
that is left of the diseased lunga to a
sound and healthy state which'no other
remedy has ever been Known to accom
plish.
