the championship program of the Amateur Athletic Union in 1888. The rope is usually twenty-two feet long, and is suspended from a beam, to which is fastened a bell or tambourine. The athlete grasp# the rope with one band at a point less than four feet from the floor. He is told to getreadv, and then, at the report of a pistol, up he goes, kicking and wiggling, until ha looks like a frog. Soon as he gets to the top he slaps the bell or tambourine. The time-keepers start their watches with the pistol and stop with the beii. The etimher who can “skin up” in the least time is, of course, the winner. At the first eompetition Stoli climbed twenty-two feet in 5 3-5 seconds—time which has never been hasten in a championship contest. At Princeton Stoll once climbed thirty-nins feet in 10 l-o seconds.

Tlx* Members Can Not Afford to Let the l Matter Rest as it la. {Indiana Farmer.j Several days la»t week there were flyinc rumors about bribery in the selection of the new State Fair ground*. It will be noticed by the proceedings of the State Board of Agriculture, published elsewhere, that an attempt was made to investigate these charges. By the report of the committee it will be noticed thit they failed to discover whom the parties were that offered the bribes. Whether the committee asked the members involved who the parties were or not their report does not state. Whether the members involved in this matter refused to answer the committee as to who the bribers were, is not stated either. They only *ay in the report that the parties offering the bribe are “unknown to tbe committee.” This whole matter should be thoroughly exposed. The board can not afford to allow this matter to be covered up or bidden from the public, e*peciaily the parties to this matter ol attempted bribery, in consideration that any member afterward became a beneficiary in the matter of his re-election to membership m the board. It mav have been commendable to trap the would-be bribers, but that they were to remain hidden, as a price for their support of members in election, is not creditable to any one, and the board itself can not afford to let the matter rest in this way.

A ROPE-CLIMBING RACE.

Even then you must proceed slowly. And never make the mi-take of seeing how hieh you can climb until you have learned how to come down, else you will be worse off than the kitten when she climb* her first and has t > wait mewing helplessly for some one to bring her back to the ground. Of course the kitten could come down without help, and so can you only too easily when your muscles are so tired that you can’t descend hand over hand a* you ascended, and you haven’t learned tbe secret of taking a twist in the rope with your leg aud sliding slowly. I still remember very cleariy my own first experience in climbing a rope. It was only about twenty feet long and it seemed a very simple matter to skin up. Half way, and 1 got very tired, but the jeers and laughter of the fellow* who were watching me kept me nt it. 1 did finally reach the top, with every muscle aching and my arms feeling as long as a baboon’s. I would have liked it very much if some one had brought me a ladder, hut 1 knew that was out of the question. 1 couldn’t hold fa-t any longer, so I started to come down. And I couldn’t stop myself by the friction of my leg on the rope, for I wore & running suit and my legs were hare from above the knees. So I came down very fast. My how hot that rope did get! When I had six or eight feet more to go, most of the skin w as rubbed off tny hands and I let loose. Of course, by tins time, the blood bad settled in tuy feet, and you can imagine my feelings when I alighted with a grentthuinp on the hard board floor. I didn’t meet with any sympathy from the onlookers, either. They seemed to regard it all as an excellent joke, and even asked me to give the exhibition again.

The most prevalent disease ia this climate is catarrh. It baa only been treated scientifically a few yean; but very few doctors, strange to say, have fitted* themselves to treat the disease, and those who have not ambition and energy enough to do eo pronounce it incurable. The specialists who treat catarrh charge large fees, ranging from two to five dollara a visit, so that a man with a moderate income will, with doctor’s fees and medieine bills, spend more money than he can afford, so be gives up his treatment, and believes himself unable to procure relief. Drs. Stackhouse and Kewlin treat all diseases as well as tbe highest priced specialists in ths country, and in ths treatment and euro of catarrh, and diseases of the ear throat, lunge and stomach have been acknowledged absolutely preeminent Their experience is as large as any specialist m the world. They treat many thousand, patients every year, and from the fact that they have tlieir own laboratory and their own chemist who prepares their medicines, they bare been enabled to make their charges 7*5 per oent cheaper than ordinary doctors. Knowing as they do that it ismore profit* able to treat a great many patients at a reasonable rate than It is to treat a few patients at large and unreasonable fees, they have always been crowded with business. During the month of December they surprised every one by treating all diseases of tbe nose and throat at the uniform rate of $5 per month, medicines included, and the crowds of patients who flocked to their office could hardly be accommodated. This wonderful success excited the envy and animosity of aome of their would-be-competitors and rivals who have ever since circulated the report that the five-dollar-rate was all a trick and that it was only announced for tho purpose of getting a run of business and then raising the pricea. This report has reached the ears of Dm. Stackhouse and Newlin so often that they have become tired of it, and in order to set all discussion at rest, and to prove that it was not a trick, and to demonstrate that they can give special treatment at onetenth of the charges of the ordinary specialist, they have decided to again establish the five-dollar-rate, which they will maintain during the months of January aud February. All fiatients now under treatment tor nose and throat trouble will hereafter receive the benefit of the same rate. No extra charge will be made in any case where the trouble is confined ta the nose and throat, ahdniiy other class of cases which eau he treated without absolute loss will be handled at the same rate. Surgical operations will b<* charged extra. CATARRH AND ALL DISEASES OF THE NOSE AND THROAT TREATED FOR $5 REK MONTH UNTIL MARCH 1. MEDICINES FREE. ALL BEGINNING TREATMENT NOW WILL BE TREATED AT THE SAME RATE UNTIL CURED.
