Opperman’s Concert Badd, of Piper City, has also been secured. This or­ganization is too well known t o , most of the Plaindkalkb readers to need commendation here, but suffice to say, that this band Isold, well established and conceded to be one of the best bands in central Illinois. They will fur­nish music during the day and- evening. ■» *

Ileppe, which stopped them. Mr. Heppe was knocked off the wagon and somewhat bruised anil„ cut, but Mr. O’Connor and son escaped injury. Mrs. O’Connor and one of the daughters were somewhat injured but not seri­ously.

Never in the history of medicine in this state has anything created such a sen­sation by its marvelous cures of the most extreme cases as Dodd’s Kidney Pills.

This wonderful medicine seems to know no limit in its wonder working power.

-^.Long-standing coses that have defied the most expert medical treatment seem to yield easily to this new conqueror of dis­ease. '

Hundreds have testified to the virtue of Dodd’s Kidney Pills. They tell of se­vere cases of Rheumatism, Lumbago, Backache, Female Trouble, Nervous Dis­eases and even Dropsy, Diabetes and Bright’s Disease cured by this medicine.

Among those who have been benefited may be mentioned Mrs. John Cooney of this place.

Mrs. Cooney savs:“I believe Dodd’s Kidney Pills the best

remedy ever known for Kidney Trouble .and weak back.

“They are without exception the best medicine I have ever used.

“1 will always praise them highly, for I know that they are good.”

Mrs. Cooney is only one of many who •ay of Dodd’s Kidney Pills:

“The most wonderful remedy we ever heard of.”

Charitable Sex.—He (at the ball)—"Just look at that dashing Mrs. DeStyle! She has diamonds stuck oil over her.” She— "Yes; there is nothing equal to paste as a sticker.”—Chicago Daily News.

T he co lo n e l has been stu d y in g th e good roads q uestion recen tly and has taken a favorab le v iew o f th e nutiouul aid plan. In a recen t speech reported in th e C om m oner lie gave u tteran ce to th e fo llo w in g sen tim en ts:

“ I have becom e exceed in g ly in te r ­ested in th is su b ject, as I have studied it . In fact, I h ave been th in k in g how m any q u estion s there are th a t en lis t th e th ou gh t and arou se the in te re st o f those w ho seek to do som eth in g for th e ir fellow-m en. N oth in g 1 have turned m y a tte n tio n to in tbe last few y ea r s has seem ed to m e to com e near­er to th e peop le than th is q u estion o f good cou n try roads. I find th a t th ere is a new field th ere , nnd I have nlreudy advanced so far th a t I have m ade up my mind (o build a lit t le road out near m y farm , but to do w h at I can to get m y cou n ty and m y s ta te to do som eth in g in th e m a tter of roads.

“T he ex p en d itu re of m oney for the p erm an en t im provem en t o f tlie com ­m on roads can be defended, first, as a m a tter o f ju st ic e to th e p eop le w ho live in tlie cou n try; second, as a m at­ter o f ad van tage to the people w ho do n ot live in th e cou n try , and, third, on th e ground th a t the w elfare o f th e na­tion dem ands th a t th e co m fo rts o f country life sh a ll, us far as possib le, keep pace w ith tlie com forts o f c ity life .

"It is a w ell-k n ow n fact, or a fact ea s ily ascerta in ed , th a t tlie peop le in th e cou n try , w h ile p ay in g their fu ll sh are o f cou n ty , s ta te and federal taxes, receive ns n rule on ly the gen eral b en efits o f governm ent, w hile the p eo­ple in the c itie s have, in addition to th e p rotection afforded by th e govern ­m ent, tlie ad van tages arisin g from the exp en d itu re of public m oneys in t h e l f ' th ist b ,,.ver?’ m idst.

“The im provem ent of th e cou n try roads can be ju stified a lso on the ground thnt th e farm er, th e first nnd m ost im p ortan t of the producers of w ealth , ought to be in p osition to hold h is crop and m arket it a t th e m ost favorab le op p ortu n ity , w h ereas o t p resen t lie is v ir tu a lly under com pul­sion to se ll it as soon ns it is m atured, because the roads m ay becom e im pass- nble at- any tim e during tlie fa ll, w in­te r or spring.

“The farm er has a righ t to in sist upon roads th a t w ill enab le him to go to tow n, to church , to th e sch o o l house, and to the h om es of h is neigh bors, as occasion m ay require, and w ith th e ex ten sio n of rural delh-ery he lias an additional need fo r good roads in order th n t h e m ay be k ep t ir com m un ication w ith th e ou tsid e w orld.

“Ju st to w h at ex te n t nction should be taken by th e federal governm ent, th e s ta te governm ent, the cou n ty and tb e precinct, or in w lia t proportion the burden should be borne is a q uestion fo r d iseu sston , b u t that cou n try roads should be con stru cted w ith a view to p erm an en t and con tinu ous use is scarcely open to debate.

“I have such confidence in tbe p a tr io t­ism and in te llig en ce o f th e A m erican people th a t I b elieve that in th e clash of ideas and con flict o f view s, th e b est w ill a lw ays be trium phant, th e peo­ple h aving th e benefit of tbe com bined w isdom o f a ll the peop le.”

„ PONTIAC.Druggist Murphy of this city, seems

to think that the board of supervisors are trying to "monkey” him. Now i:1 there is anything that John 8. despises, it is to have anyone cast doubts upon his business accuracy. I t appears that a former supervisor of Amity township, bought medicines for a pauper who lived in Oornell, and in due course of business the bill was presented to the county board for payment. The com­mittee on pauper claims turned the bill down, but Mr. Murphy sent it in every term, when it met the same fate. This term the bill went to the board in the hand of Constable Johnson, with a summons from Justice Gaff for the entire board to appear before him and show cause why this was thusly. Dur­ing a lull in the proceedings, while the board was in session, the constable took advantage of the opportunity, and held the floor until he served the pa­pers, and the board are now defendants in a nice little law suit.

On Monday night the Local Board of Improvements of the city council let pavement contracts to the extent of $10,800 and sewer contracts amounting to $2,359.16. The pavement is to be on Timber street, leading to the race track, and the sewers on North Liv­ingston, Prairie and North Mill streets. John Cherry does the paving. Grassell Bros, and Morgan Bros, do the sewer work. •

The county court was engaged all day Tuesday in the trial of Kerrins and Fitzgerald against Mrs. Sarah Megquire for commission for the sale of seven lots in Chatsworth to James Entwistle. The case was given to the jury which was out about one hour, returning a verdict in favor of the de­fendant. Attorney Cary, of Chats­worth, representing the plaintiffs and Strawn, of Pontiac, for the defendant.

' Sixty-one graduates received v di­plomas at the commencement exercises held on Monday evening at the opera

— house for the graded schools of this school district. President Johnson did himself proud when he ordered the 61 youngesters to attend the Township Ilighschool in the future.

It is an old saying that “all tilings come to him who waits.” It is given out that our old friend, A. L. Dolde, of this city, is at last to be rewarded for liis distinguished services to the Grand Old Party, by being made Chief Clerk at the Illinois State Reformatory. I t is said that A. L. will take charge of the books on July 1st. Now let us hear no more, that to get a job at this iustitutition you must hail from Lacon.

Marriage is a matter that concerns mostly, the contracting parties them­selves, and if they are satisfied, it would seem that it is no business of outsiders. Never-the-iess, custom and the laws make it necessary that certain rules and regulations should be com­plied with, and with few exceptions, sucli is the case. Within the last few days Pontiac has developed two cases where young men and young women have announced that they have been married for some months, and in the meantime had pussed among their friends and acquaintances as single. Tills may be considered, by the thoughtless, as a good joke, but to the friends and relatives of such parties, it is, to say the least, annoying, and to the parties themselves it might under certain circumstances, become very em­barrassing. I t is to be hoped that the example set by these very foolish young people will not be followed by others, andf in this way make a farce of the marriage relations.

The tax sale of the delinquent lands and lots of the county will commence J une 22. Indications are that the sale will be a small one.

The law docket of the county court for this terra came to nn end on Wed­nesday mornjng, and the jury whs dis­charged. But four cases are left on the docket, and if there are not a large number of new suits started soon, the next term of the court will most Ijkely be a short one.

HU Last Hope Realized. v[From the Sentinel, Gebo. Mont.]

In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 1889, the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after for­tune who made the big race one flue day iu April. During his traveling about and afterwards his camping upon his claim, he encountered much had water, which, together with the severe heat, gave him a severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost impossible to check, and along in June the case be­came so bad he expected to die. One day one oFhis neighbors brought him one small bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about on the ground in great agony, and in a few minutes the dose was repeated. The good effect of the medince was soon noticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for u fortnight. That one littlehottle worked a complete cure and he cannot help but feel grateful. The season for bowel disorders being at hand suggests this item. For sale by J. F Sullivan.

Pleasure fades like a flower, and memory is the lasting perfume.

A Splendid Remedy.Neuralgic pains, rheumatism, lumba­

go and sciatic pains yield to the pene­trating influence of Ballard’s Snow Liniment. It penetrates to the nerves and bone, and being absorbed into the blood, its healing properties are convey­ed to every part of the body and effect some wonderful cures: Mr. D. F. Moore, Agent Illinois Central Railway, Milan, Tenn., states: I have used Ballard's Snow Liniment for rheuma­tism. backache, etc., in my family. It is a splendid remedy. We could not do without it.” 25c, 50c and $1.00 at Jno. F. Sullivan’s.

Hot Weather Weakness.If you feel fagged out. listless and

lacking in energy, you are perhaps suf­fering from the debilitating effects of summer weather. These symptous in­dicate that a tonic is needed that will create a healthy appetite, make diges­tion perfect, regulate the bowels and impart natural activity to the liver. This Ilerbine will do;' it is a tonic, laxative and restorative. II. J. Free- gard, Propr. Grand View Hotel, Che­ney, Kan., writes: “ I have used Her- bine for the last 12 years, and nothing on earth can beat it. It was recom­mended to me by Dr. Newton, Newton, Kan.” 50c at Jno. F. Sullivan’s.

Some people run into debt, others get In it with out running.

Tax on BabiesExtreme hot weather is a great tax

upon the digestive power of babies; when puny and feeble should be given a few doses of White’s Cream Vermi­fuge, the children’s tonic. It will stimu­late and facilitate the digestion of their food, so that they soon become strong, healthy and active. 25c at Jno. F. Sullivan. _____________

Your name belongs to you, but othtfr people use it more than you do.

Constipated Bowels.To have good health, the body should

he kept in a laxative condition, and the bowels moved at least once a day. so that all the poisonous wastes are expel­led daily. Mr. G. L. Edwards, 142 N. Main St.. Wichita, Kansas, writes: ‘"1 used Ilerbine to regulate the liver and bowels for the past ten years, and found it a reliable remedy.” 50c at Jno. F. Sullivan’s.

Newson, Decatur, Ala. “For three years.” she writes. “ I endured Insuffer­able pain from indigestion, stomach and bowel trouble. Death seemed inevita­ble when doctors and all remedies fail­ed. At length I was induced to try Electric Bitters and the result was miraculous.

Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco tell* of an untiring politician who demanded a position. To eecape him and kindred men the mayor had hied himself to the suburbs. And in the suburb* tlie ap­plicant halted the mayor, relates the Boa- ton Post. The politician placed his cane behind him and rested on it as a seat.

Better opportunity had never been pre-». ll i*seated for arguing hi* just claim,

fidgeting caused the cane to move slight­ly. “Yes, sir .” said the office seeker, “ I am entitled to a position in the city’* service and am lookiug for an opening.

“ Is there any kind of work to whichyou are adapted!” asked the mayor.

‘ tliThe man took courage from tlie ques­tion and said tha t any kind of an open­ing would suit.

By this time the man’s unsteadiness hadbrought the cane, which was bearing his weight, precariously near a knot nolo.

The mayor thought. In expectancy the applicant shifted his position. The next instant he was endeavoring to follow his cane through a hole in the board walk.

THROBS.T here’s a yard of sky above me. In a fram e

of tower and dome,And the smoke m akes purple patches on

Its gloomy monochrome.There are soot-bedraggled pigeons upw ard

sailing to the skyThrough the canyons, gloomy, narrow ,

hedged by buildings blaok and high.There are sparrow s Idly flitting—sparking,

spooning, fighting blades—One might give undue Im portance to thellr"* voluble tirades;

F o r Messrs. F uss and F ea th ers are con­vinced of th is oneTSfin

A m ost afflicted world ‘twould be If It their presence lacked.

I may sit and dream of sailing on a sunny, smiling sea;

Of fishing In a quiet brook, a good book on my knee;

Of walking through the silent woods, o r through the meadows sw eet—

But the great old heart of N atu re-th robsln noises of the street!

A m istaken country poet had a thought and wrote U down:

’Tw as tha t Qod had made the country, b u t th a : Man had made the town.

I’m

As

H aa created In Hie Image, strong, erect and unafraid.

And although I love the country, where the dlcky-blrdle elngs, confessing In my heart of hearts his songs are trilling things compared to lilting melodies—folks tralnplng up and down.

The street ca r gongs, the w hirr of wheels, the noises of the town!

I m ay dream of sweet-voiced nightingales —their notes are all “ tip-top"—

B ut I want life’s grander o rgan played wltn Vox H um ana 's stop.

Though she smiles upon the country, and h er smile Is good and sweet—

Ah, the g rea t old heart of N atu re throbs Innoises of the street! --------

GRANDMA'S BERRY PIE.

I like to go to Grandma'* when vacation days come round.

She lets me play in the hay and roll upon the ground;

She’s good to little boys like me, and gives ’em lots to eat.

And says she doesn’t mind It if a fellow s tooth is sweet.

Her things are always "home-made,' ' and they’re better than you buy.

You ought to taste, for instance, some of Grandma's berry pie.

She keeps it In the pantry, 'way up on the second shelf.

And when you're good she tells you you cun go and help yourself;

I climb up on the barrel and cut a great big slice.

And when the red julee oozes out-, my! doesn't it look nice?

1 try to mind my p's and c|'s as Grandma says 1 should.

If your reward is berry pie, It pays you to be good.

Some days I go a-tlshin' in MacMurry's pool for pike.

And Grandma tills my dinner pall with things she know s I like;

I bait my hook and throw It in and watch, till by and by

I seem to grow real hungry for a piece of berry pie.

And as 1 sit upon the bank, and wait, and wait and wait,

I wonder if the tish would bite w ith Grand­ma's pie for bait.

St. Patrick’s Academy Commeacement A Great Success Last Saturday.

The largest audience that ever con­gregated at The Grand attended the commencement and closing exercises of St. Patrick's Academy on last Sat­urday afternoon. Every available seat in the theater was occupied, many stood up, and many others went away because pf not being able to get seats. The house was lighted by electricity for the program, which was splendidly rendered. Each number was well re­ceived, and heartily applauded by the | large audience. The Academy pupils j showed very plainly tlie careful drillfind preparation which they hud re-j Ceived under the able direction of the | Sisters of tlie Holy Cross, who have j charge of the institution, and every number on tlie program reflected cre­dit upon those who had charge of its preparation. Seldom is it tlie good fortune of Chatsworth audiences to be afforded tlie opportunity of witnessing such high class entertainments as tlie annual closing exercises of this insti­tution, and the large attendance eacli year bears ample evidence that the rare excellence of tlie annual programs is duly appreciated by the people of Chatsworth and vicinity. It would be a pleasure to comment upon each num­ber of tlie program separately, but space will not permit it. Suffice to say that every effort was received by tlie audience in a manner which showed very plainly that it was high­ly enjoyed and heartily approved.

The graduates were, Misses Agnes Phillips, Mary A. Mauritzen, Ella Snyder and Nellie Garrity. Below we produce tlie orations of the first two, and hope to be able to publish tlie others next week.

“ t h e k e y s t o n e ok c h a r a c t e r .”In real life, as well as in those most

facinating departments of literature portraying human nature, what so generally impels study, or so quickly awakens sympathy as that which we call diameter? Where in daily in­tercourse, in lietion or in biographies we persue, it is chiefly by this that we are affected and therefore in­fluenced.

Shakespeare’s fame rests upon his preeminent success in the delineation of truly natural characters, while the unfailing hold of Plutarch’s “Lives on Human Interest," is undoubtedly due to tlie fact that it is a series of char­acters rather than a mere narration of his heroes lives.

Macauly^places Boswell’s “ Life of Johnson" above all other biographies, and why? Surely not because its author was such a genius, but because lie succeeded in impressing a strong character no his page, which for that reason alone is enduring.

Like those primary ideas and first principles in a science, character is difficult to define. We like to com­mend our friends as persons of char­acter. but if an explanation were-de- manded many words, perhaps, would fail to convey our full and exact ap-

| predation.It is hard to say whether any in­

dividual act, however striking, may serve as its test or measure, or whether the whole tenor of one’s conduct must be weighed in the balance. Certain

! it is, however, that it does not consist j in any single quality predominat ing, hint in the union of many, of whose aggregate it may lie deemed tlie ex­pression. It is tlie resultant of tlie various individual forces of one’s nature, tlie strength of one’s person­ality, and its essential note of sta­bility.

Of this view of the subject, what more appropriate illustration can lie selected than tlie arch, combining as it does, beauty of outline with a power of resistance that only the architect, or one versed in the craft, can explain.

For proof of the endurance of the arch, one need only glance at tlie pictures of ancient ruins. Where naught remains to tell of the structure once tlie glory of tlie eye, but the arch, which rising above tliecrumbled walls, seems still to bid defiance to the hand of time or tlie destroying elements.

Remove, however, that central wedge from tlie top and tlie whole structure totters and falls. You have taken out tlie Keystone which locking together in a peculiar grasp, the mu­tual bearings of the other blocks served effectually to keep tlie semi circle intact.

The analogy now is .evident, if there is no Keystone in one’s moral structure, there can be no arch, that is to say, little or no stability. Such a one will he powerless to resist the inevitable crisis of life, to withstand tlie shock and strain of adversity, or to support tlie pressure of long'and severe labors.

There may be good propensities, a fair presentment of admirable quail- t ies, even a promise of greatness: but alas! where there is no Keystone to bind these individual traits into the strong and beautiful arch of character, disaster will sooner or later demolish tlie edifice which seemed so fair to view.

As we never see two faces exactly alike, so there arc no ( wo individuals presenting pfecisely the same charac­ter, and yet it may be possible, bar­ring perhaps, a certain number in which there is a resemblance, to refer to the multiform variations of a few general types.

Take those who are characterized by that splendid galaxy of virtues that circle around truth. Their words are translucent with candor; in tiielr countenances may be seen the light- of an open frank mind; sincerity that virtue most dear to God and man en­nobles their every expression.

All their dealings bear the genuine stamp of honesty and justice.

Humility is but truth applied to one’s own worth and deserts; while modesty Is its graceful manifestation.

What a magnificent array of noble- qualities does not that beautiful white Keystone of truth lock together!

We might point out another genus where more prominent traits are of a different cast. In these kindness, gentleness and amiability enhance

the charm of their words and actions.The doing of good is their only real

pleasure and they fail to ameliorate no misery within the reach of their charitable ministrations. These “self­less” men and women form the ma-

Key-terial of which tlie heroes and martyrs are molded—for “Love the Divine” is writ in gojden character on the stone of their arch.

I t may be said that all types are liable to fall unless dominated by strong purpose, and hence willpower is the universal Keystone of character. It cannot be questioned that such a central force in one’s disposition is eminently desirable, nrovided it be joined with a sound judgement and a good heart. Then do we see a ma­jestic, self-reliant, resolute characterintrepid and preserving. >

Self control is tlie highest glory ofme Hia.. |“1

such a nature: for when that supreme faculty,. the will, is magnanimoi enough to conquer itself, so to spea| then may it become by supernatur assistance, tlie glorious Keystone of the arch of victory not unlike those grand truimphant monuments of ancient Rome erected to grace the entrance of an imperial conquer, or his return from a successful war.

A g n e s P h i l l i p s .“ THE THREE HORIZONS—NATURE,

MIND AND FAITH.”When we look as far as the eye can

reach, an even circular line seems to b o u n d our vision. Whether we stand on tlie level plain or on the Highest mountain of the earth, a similar line presents itself and we cannot see be­yond it. Tiie questions arise why is this line circular and why can wc not see beyond it? We answer that tlie earth is a sphere and our eyes being such that we can see only in straight lines, we can no more sec around tlie earth’s curve than around the corner of a building.

We see a comparatively small por­tion of tlie globe that appears to be flat and seems to touch the sky where our vision of it ends. It was this very fact that puzzled tlie ancients and caused them to believe that the earth was flat and to walk to the Horizon, they would fall off. Butin our enlightened age, we do not believe as they did, yet we often consider the Horizon symbolical of better tilings.

Thus Nature comes to be viewed as au Horizon by all creatures, animate and inanimate. If tlie stones and streams, the trees and plants, the beasts and birds, never fail to see Nature and each displays its own love and appreciation of her, how much more should man, the highest of creatures, discern her! Yet there are men who never perceive the mysteri­ous developments of life continually going on around them. But some­times Nature arrests their attention involuntarily; for can they ever lie blind to tlie glorious splendor of the sitting sun, the power and grandeur of the thunder storm, tlie majesty of the gigantic forests and mountains, tlie mighty sweep of the great rivers or tlie eternal vastness of the ocean?

Yes, Nature is a grand lim it to all creation. It is tlie dividing line be­tween tlie material and the divine.

Yet another Horizon—the Mind which is of more immediate imports ancc toman, opens out to view gradu- ■allvand gently until it encircles the whole world of knowledge, virtue and power. What vast extent it lias! The human Mind is capable of knowing and discovering tlie hiden secrets of nature, which takes the names of sciences and arts, it has tlie power of

recognizing its purpose in tills world, its filial end and tlie means to obtain it, of knowing but not comprehending the world’s First Cause—the one Eternal Being.

No element so rules tlie world as the •Mind of man. His is tlie supreme authority, tlie dominion over tlie earth and all it contains was his from the beginning. The intellects of the Angels possess knowledge which all tlie worlds of creation would not con­tain. Yet even their minds (all short of comprehending tlie mystery of God

God and God alone is the only one who can comprehend himself. So the Mind of man, although of vast extent, is merely an Horizon limiting the range of man’s power and beyond which is the Supreme Power.

A third Horizon of life—one of far greater extent and of a higher sphere, is the Horizon of Faith.

No one, however skeptical, can go through ltfe without at some time catching a glimpse of its radiant out­line. In tlie natural order alone, how much is there whicti we can not posi­tively know, yet we beiieve. For in­stance, concerning ourowu experience. We know that we exist and are not self existing, hence we must believe that some other being, self existing, keeps ours and every other being fn existence.

No skeptic or atheist can disprove this fact. In the supernatural order how much more is left to our belief. As the Horizon is always present tp our eyes, so also is Faith always exist­ing in our souls. Whenever we look toward the Infinite we must always look over the line of Faith, dividing wliat we positively know from what we are bound to believe.

What could men do if they had not Faith? They surely would accomplish very little either in the material or spiritual order. What a great privi­lege to man is tlie ever present Hori­zon of Faith! Instead of becoming be­wildered by trying to fathom unaided the mysterious eternity, the eye rests on this bright calm Horizon and hian feels a peace and certainly undeniably sweet.

Tlie Horizon of tlie school girl of the present, is her graduating day. Today do we realize that this broad arch is being passed under, and tomorrow will bring tlie unnamed Horizon of the future, to which we have been con­stantly aiming during tlie past years.

We have been taught and aided by our kind pastor and teachers, to meet and live under our life Horizon as noble Catholic women: indeed these very lessons make us realize how sweet and how sad will be tlie remembrance of our Alma Mater.

Now come tlie thoughts of parting- parting from loved associates and teachers with the stern conviction that the past is gone.

Dear Father words fail to express our heartfelt appreciation of your pa- tcral care and kind interest, but we assure you of our sincere gratitude and hope that sooner or later we may make some return for the many sacri­fices you have made for us.

Happily however our relations with you arc still to continue. Never shall
