When people talk to you of Washington as “the city of magnificent distances,” tell them to wait until they see the World's Fair. The distances there are not only magnificent but deceptive. It is one of the peculiarities of this aggregation of palaces down there, by the side of the lake that it does not, at first glance, show its size. "When the stranger first steps into the gates of this city his eye perceives nothing but beauty. It comes like a flash. Size dawns more slowly. The vastness of things in the, white city is gradually unfolded. The first glimpse of the Fair is likely to bo somewhat of a disappointment so far as magnitude is concerned. “Beautiful beyond my wildest dreams, but not so large as I had thought it,” is an expression frequently overheard. As yet the distances. the sizes are deceptive. Hour after hour, and day after day, as one walks through the streets and avenues of the ideal city, the magnitude grows upon him. Beauty is absolute and its appreciation innate, while size is merely comparative. The visitor must have comparisons before be is able to realize the bigness of things at the World’s Fair. These comparisons are flashing themselves upon him one after an other. It may be a perspective down some avenue within one of the great structures, or a workman on some dizzy height, or the weariness of a long walk to cover a space, which, whe first viewed, seemed only a stone’s throw, but in one way or another it is impressed upon the onlooker that there is a vastness where he has seen only compactness. Then his consciousness takes hold of the fact that it is perfection of proportions and ideality of form that have deceived him. Thus he is brought back to his first sensation, which was that of the beauty of the place, for there is no true beauty without perfect proportions, and in grouping the perfection must apply not only to the individuals, but to their relations with one another. There is no finer or more impressive lesson than this in the whole Fair, nor anything that rouses more admiration for the minds which planned this thing. It is the lesson which most amazes people who come here from the East or from Europe. —Chicago Herald. For the best ice cream and soda water go to Neligh’s. Subscribe for the Republican.

The Post-office Department at Washington announces that the postal note will be succeeded by a postal script, calling for any amount’ from one cent to three dollars, to cost the sender one cent, and will be about the same as an express order. There will be no writing of any kind on it by the postmaster, but is indored by the sender, and its safe tran portal ion is guaranteed by the government.

P. O. S. of A. BAN1> CONCERT. Arcade hall held a good audience last Friday night to hear the concert given by the P. O. S. of A. band, of Columbus, under the auspices of Conestoga Tribe No. 127 1. O. Red Men. As number after number was rendered with the same .precision, the hearers began to realize that the band done a great deal of careful practicing under a competent leader. Prof. Mason is recognized as a successful leader and our people were not disappointed in the concert which he and the band gave, us. Mr, Lay’s clarionet solo was highly appreciated. The only criticism that could be made on the concert was that there were not more part pieces in which the proficiency of the individual members might be shown and a greater variety given to the program. As it was the variety consisted in the character of the selections and this was ample enough to suit the most ardent lover of band music. The Red Men are to be congratulated for their effort in bringing to Hope a concert of so high prder. K. ol'P. A\MVUKS VltY. Wednesday evening, May 24th, was the tenth anniversary of the organization of Byron Lodge, No. 108, K. of P. In response to invitations the hall was crowded with members of the lodge, their families and friends who came to rejoice with the lodge in its anniversary. After opening prayer by Rev Holland, the principal address of the evening was made by Rev. Current. He spoke of the history and principles of the orde,r;of the value of such freindships as are here formed; of the good work which the lodge is doing. His address was well received by those, present. This was followed by a few remarks by Revs. Smith and Holland. The refreshment committee was then called upon and served cake, icecream, and other delicacies refreshing to the inner man. A short time was spent in social intercourse and the company returned to their homes well pleased with the evening’s entertainment. Our (/'oniiny; Postmaster* Last Friday’s papers contained the announcement that E. A. Norman had received the appointment as postmaster at this place; official notice was received Monday by Mr. Norman, confirming the report. Mr. Norman was born near Winston, N. C., March 17, 1850. He came with his parents to Hope in the fall of 1851, coming through in wagons, four weeks being necessary to accomplish the journey. He has resided in and near Hope ever since that time. His education was received in the common schools of Hope. He has been actively engaged in the saw mill and lumber business in Hope for the last twenty years. During this time he has been identified with the growth of Hope and has assisted our churches and other institutions having for their object the building up of the town both in business and moral way. This spring he retired from the mill and lumber business and opened a first class furniture store 011 the west side of the square, whore the postoffice will be located. Mr. Norman has been identified with the interests of the Democrat party and Seen one of its active workers during bis life. He j has neven. before, held an office at I the hands of his party and his friends I look upon his appointment as a fit- : ting reward for services to the party. I While our preference would have been to have had the office remain j where it been for four years, yet since a change was inevitable we congratulate the appointee upon his success believing that he will administer the office to the satisfaction of its patrons. j The most intelligent people of our community recognize in DeWitt’s Little Early Risers pills of unequaled merit for dyspepsia, headache and constipation. Very small, perfect in | action. S. Stapp & Son.

E. A. Norman sold a good bill of goods Mi is week to Mrs. Beam, of Hartsville. According to the new thime table trains' on the C. H. & G. go east at 7 a. m. and 6:05 p. m., and west at 10:45 a. m. and 6:57 p. m. ‘'There is a salve for every wound." We refer to DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve, cures burns, bruises, cuts, in1 dolent sores; as a local application in the npstrils it cures catarrh, and always cures piles. S. Stapp & Son. Says the editor of the Crawford County Democrat; “Parties who never intend to pay up should at once notify us, stop taking the paper, join the church and live an honest life the rest of their days, for it will require their remaining days to keep o.ut of hades for robbing the needy.” Last Saturday was the 68th birthday of Mrs. Jonas Rominger. She and her husband left in the morning and returned to find the house filled with relatives and friqnds who had come to enjoy the dinner with her. A fine dinner was served and the company did it full justice. Among those present were: Rev. F. K, ‘Holland, Rev, J. T). Current, Rwv. W. W. Smith and family, Shepard Leinbuek and wife, Dr. iS. Stapp and wife, Ed. Flshel and wife, Mix. Sanford Rominger and daughters, John T. Remy and wife, Dr. W. T. Newton and wife, Mrs. Lucinda Marker, John Gilliland, wife and daughter, George Schaefer and family, Lewis Schaefer and wife, Mrs. Anderson Shore, Mrs. Marie Brown and daughter, I). W. Dodd and wife, Marion Stewart and wife, Mrs. W. 11. Voglerand mother, and Martin Reed. At Tuesday’s meeting of the State Medical Society an interesting paper was read by Vice-President Brower on the subject of cholera and tuberculosis. Kissing, the doctor said, especially of children, was one of the most frequent causes of infection, and was therefore a dangerous practice. As far as the indiscriminate kissing of babies is concerned, the doctor’s opinion will meet with wide approval. The custom is an unpleasant one and usually works hardship either upon the one who feels obliged to follow it or upon the babe who suffers the infection.—Chicago Herald.
