freight tariff an 1 passenger rates for the
railroad A standard tariff has been
adopted for freight business, and a table
of modi liea! ions from this standard iu
favor of certain roads, has been made out.
The standard tariff will be in effect on
m ist of tht! main lines, but. on branch
lines, which are not jet on a good paving
basis, and on which the expenses are
barely met by the receipts, special 'rt-ight
rates have been made, and a special pas
senger rate of three and a half cents for
first-class aud three cents for second
class, has also been made instead of the
standard rate of three and a quarter and
two and three-quarters, respective''.
The modifications, however, will be sub
ject to change by the Commission in the
future. Th3 Commission will probably
adjourn their present session in a day or
two.

AN amuninh EX l'EHIMRNT WITH soap,
A child detests soap. How it would
amuse a child to behold a number of
matches rushing away from soap.
Place some matches in a basin of wa
ter in the shape of a star.
Take a pice of soap, cut into a point,
insert in the water in the middle of the
, matches, and lo, they will fly from it in
'.' every direction as if in horror.
J If you wish to bring the matches alto-
f gether again you treat them as if you
i would children, with a lump of sugar.
Dip the sugar in the water and little bits
of wood will come swimming to it as
though they yearned for a sip of its sweet
ness. Once a Week.

the leading features of the occasion was
the contest for priz s. The successful
vaiididu'e for the declamation priz- was
Master D. W. Xewsoiu, of Warren. His
subject was "Kail, the Martyr," but
there were several others who deserve

and the Rev. J. M. Rhodes is his usual
thoughtful, easy style presented the prize
for penmanship.
The principal, Ptof. L. W. Bagley,
announced that the session just closed

"Almost Miraculous."
" When I was 11 years of age I liail a severe
attack of rheumatism, ami after I rt-envereil
liatl to c en t rutt'lics. A year later, .ii-nifula.
in the form of white swelUnpi, appeared on
various parts of my body, anil for 11 years I
was an invalid, Itelng routined to my bed
years. In that time ten cir eleven sores ap
peared and broke, causing me great pain and
suffering. I feared 1 never should get well.
" Early in lssii I went to Chit-ago to visit a
sister, hut was confined to my bed most nt the
time I was there. In July I read a book, ' A
Day with a Circus.' in which were statements
of ernes by Hood's Sarsaparilla. I was so Im
pressed wilh the suceess of this medicine that
I deeitled to try It. To my great gratification
the sores soon decreased, and I began to feel
better and in a short time I was up and
out of doors. I continued to take Hood's Sar
saparilla for about a year, when, having used
six bottles, I had become so fully released
from the disease that I went to work for the
Flint & Availing Mfg. Co., and since then
liAVK OT LOST A SINGLE DAY
on areount of sickness. I believe the disease
is expelled from my system, I always feel well,
am in good spoils and have a good appetite.
I am now 27 years of age and can walk as well
as any one, except that one limb is a little
shorter than Hie other, owing to the loss ot
bone, and the sores formerly on my right leg.
To my friends my recovery seems almost
miraculous, and I think Hood s Sarsaparilla
is the king of medicines." William A.
