Rev. Thos. Hooth, formerly of this
place, favored the pupils with a short
hut appropriate nnd Instructive talk In
Assembly hull last Friday morning.
A general invitation is extended to
the teachers, directors and citizens of
Itcynoldsvllle and vicinity to attend the
educational exorcises in Assembly hall
next Saturday, March II. We have
every reason to believe that tho pro
gram, which is admirably arranged, will
bo ably rendered by thcsoverul teachers
and directors of tlio above places.
Tho following Inventory of articles
found and stored In Prof. Lenkerd's
olllce Is submitted to tho public by or
der of prtncipnl: One umhrella, I muff,
8 cents, 1 eraser, 2 knives, 3 keys, 3
gold pins, 1 comb, 1 black silk handker
chief, 1 hat pin, 1 ball twine, 1 hair pin,
4 hair ribbons, 7 linen handkerchiefs, 3
kid gloves, 10 pair mittens. Owners
may have same by calling at tho com
mon storehouse. It has bocfl suggested
that the above articles be put on sale
next Saturday, immediately after the
educational meeting adjourns.
We were pleased to receive the Intel
ligence that Prof. Alton C. Llndsey will
entertain the publio in Assembly hall a
few weeks hence.
Tho Shakespearean Literary Society's
program was postponed from last Fri
day afternoon to next Friday, March
0th. All are cordially invited to attend
these meetings.
In our last Bulletin was related a
little experience that occurred to throe
of Reynoldsvlllo's worthy and esteemed
townsmen, Including our own Prof.
Lenkerd. Our reporter has been somo
what dismayed on learning the effect of
his story on the principals Involved.
He had gathored tho details from vari
ous sources and arranged the story In
accordance with the facts at hand
quite elated that so important an event,
happening in such close proximity to
our headquarters, had not escaped hU
eternal vigilance for news. However,
more careful Investigation and later
information from reliable authority
have disclosed some discrepancies in
his little narrative. Wo sincerely re
gret If we have been Inaccurate In our
publication and by our Inaccuracy have
given any cause for offense. Bo sure
we hoartily sympathize with the mo
tives that prompt men to enlist their
time and energies In the cause of educa
tion In any of its phases, and fool proud
that we can boast of men of this (tamp
in our community. It was not our in
tention to be harshly critical nor to rid
icule. Though poorly exprossod, our
purpose was sincere. From us la due
an apology, which we gladly offer.

A Young Girl's Experience.
My daughter's nerves wuru terribly
out of order. She was thin und weak;
the least noise startled her, and she
was wakeful at night. Before she had
taken one package of Celery King tho
change in her was so great that she
could hardly be taken for the same girl.

her complexion is perfect, and she

You cant keep a good thing down.
News of it travels fast.Q! When things

years experience." You know why?

Btomach, liver, kidneys, bowels, blood
and nerves. Electric Bitters tones up
the stomach, regulates liver, kidneys
and bowels, purifies the blood, strength

of maladies. It builds up the entire

This is how most armies degrade an
officer who has been proved a traitor to
his conntry. The day before the traitor
is to be publicly degraded, the military
tailor removes all the buttons and
stripes from the officer's nniform, re
placing them with a single stitch, so
that they can be readily torn away.
The condemned man's sword is also filed
almost in two, in order that it may bo
easily snapped.
At the time appointed the traitor,
who has, of course, been tried by court
martial, is marched ont with his regi
ment, wearing his nniform for the last
time. A halt is called, a superior olllcer
repeats the verdict of the court martial,
advances toward the traitor and says:
"Yon have disgruced the nniform you
wear ; you are unworthy to carry arms.
In the niimo of our conntry we degrade
you."
The decorations are torn from the
nniform, the sword broken in twain,
and umid tho muffled rnmblin,; f
drums tho ceremony ends, although n
long term of imprisonment invariably
follows. Penrson's Weekly.

Bold Tlfbet. on lllm.
tt Is good to be a celebrity, and it is
mctimcs prtiflt.iihlo merely to recog
nize one. While Clinnnety M. Dopew
was nt the Omaha exposition, says the
New York Times, he ami President
Callaway of the New York Central
chanced to go Into a booth on the Mid
way I'lnlsanee.
It was a tame Entertainment, and
there wns only n meager nttemianee
when Mr. Deppw and Mr. Callaway
entered. Tin ir stay would hnve lieen
very brief except for thn fact that they
had scarcely tat'on their seats before
there b"gan a steady Itiponrlnif of peo

auditorium was crowded.

Vnlne of a Comma.
A Prussian school inspector appeared
at the office of tlio btirgomaster of a lit
tlo town to ask him to accompany him
on n tour of inspection through the
schools.
The linrfo-unster wns ont of sort;?
nnd wns heard to tnrrtter to himself:
"What 1h this donkey here agnin
for?"
Tho inspector said nothing, bnt wait
ed, his tinio, and with the unwilling
burgomaster set nut on his tour.
At the first school he annonnced hie
wish to seo how well pnnctnntion war
tanght.
. "Oh, never mind that," grumbled
the burgomaster. "Wo don't care for
commas nnd snch trifles."
But tho inspector sent a tioy to tho
blackboard and ordered him to write:
"The bnrgoinnster of R. says, tho in
spector is u donkey. "
Then he ordered him to trnnspose thf
comma, placing it nf ter It., and to In
sert another one after inspector, and
the boy wrote:
"The burgomaster of R., says the in
spector, Is a donkey."
It Is probable that tho refractory offi

The "Terrier.'
A document known by the name of a
"terrier" is supposed to be kept at ev
ery old parish church setting forth the
sources of the income of the benefice
especially glebe lands: hence the deriva
tion from the Latin "terra." Ignorance
of this purely technical term led a
clergyman into a enrious mistake. He
was a sporting parson and had jnst
been appointed to his first living. Dur

he received a form from the bishop
which he was required to fill np.
