SUHH ERSlDE’S TROUBLES.

The Western Capital has suffered a

painful surprise and lost some money by the default of a trusted official. This is not all. After the default was discovered and the unfortunate man had confessed in part, he was permit- ted to go where he pleased, and it is charged, was even assisted by a town otlicer in making his escape from the province. .All this is very regrettable and painful. It is not however be- 'cause of these painful features that :we discuss the matter, but because icertain lessons profitable to corpor- ations, firms and individuals may be ldrawn from the occurrence which has 1 disturbed the serenity of Summer- side.

A corporation employs an odicial

to whom it pays a moderate salary, eatrusting him at the same time with the collection and payment of many *sums of varied amount but which ag- gregate thousands of dollars in the year. The ofiicial is required to give bonds for the faithful performance of his duty. The year’s end comes round

lproinptiiess to notify the defaulter’s_ lbondsmen, for the double reason that 3, they may be able to protect them- :selves and may be held to their liabi- ` lity to make good the loss resulting 1 from the default. | We do not say that the neglect, not ite say connivance of certain of ` the itown ofiicials,their knowledge of the clerk’s intended ilight,and their omis- ,sion to notify his bondsmen will operate to release the latter from their obligations. That is a question for lawyers, or it may be for the courts. I But we do say that from a reading of ',the public discussion regarding the matter there appears to have been a _ plentiful lack of that duo diligence which the town oiiicials were bound to observe and which would be cal- culated to protect the interests of the , town and the hondsmen of the cleric. _ This does not lessen the criminali-

say that the chairman, councillors or officials at Summerside are more ne- glectful, careless or more disposed to connive at the eaayescape of a wrong- doer than those of other towns. But it seems impossible to acquit some of their number of very grave oiiicial neglect, the full consequences of which

The Doukhobors, while very pious

and peaceful, are by no means averse

Free Press tells that a Doiikhobor hockey team are announced to play a game with a city team, and the Dunk- hobor boys have already learned to play football. They have readily caught on to the spirit of our inno- cent and manly Ca. nadian pastimes.

We have a civic by-law which ro-

quires “the owners or occupiers of any houses, stores, shops, warehouses, buildings or property,” to “remove or cause to be removed so much of the snow and ice from the sidewalks of the streets as shall lodge in front of any such house, store, shop, ware- house, building or » property, to the width of eight feet,s.nd to the breadth of the full front” of any such house, building or premises, “the same to be removed within twenty-four hours froin and after the ceasing of any snow storm.” The penalty is not to exceed live dollars and costs. The writer of this paragraph walks Great George street every day and is com- pelled to guy that the by-law is most, notoriously and conspicuously neglwg- ed after alost every snowstorm the winter through by some promment, residents. ‘

year more peo-If

ple than small- pox, cholera, yellow fever and a l l k ii o_w n plagues kill in fifty. Tens of thousands of

intelligent people recognize that they are threatened y this _deadly disease, but take no precautions against it. _ _ _

Consumption approaches its victim step

by step. First there is a little "out of

sorts ” feeling, the ggestiou isn’t just right, the appetite _falls , th_e liver is inactive, the assimilation of the life-giving elements of the food is imperfect, the blood gets im- pure and the body is improperly nourished. These conditions get worse and worse. The heart through the arterial system is pump- ing thin, oisonous blood into every organ ofthe body. Themfans that are inherently weakest break down dm. Ordinnflly die lungs. As the last straw that breaks the

'c1nic1's back comes a. cold, however slight.

T is, with the accompanying cough, com pletes the work and an invasion of the germs of consumption follows. Dr. Picrce’s Gold- en Medical Discovery cures 98 per cent. of all cases of consumption. It corrects the conditions that lead up to it. It is the great- est blood-maker and flesh-builder known.

K. C. McLin, Esq.. of Kempsvilléi Princess

Anne Co., Va., writes: “When I commenced

taking your ‘ Discovery ‘ I was very low with ,a cough, and at times spit up much lood. I was not able to do the least work, but most of the time was in bed._ I was all run-down. very weak, my head was dizzy, and I was extremely des- pondent_ The first bottle I took did not seem to d_o me much good,_but I had faith in it and con- tinued usirgi it until I had taken iideen bottles, and now I o not look nor feel like the same man I was one year ago. People are astonished, and

thankfully say I am entirely cured of a disease which. but for your wonderful* Discovery( would have resulted n-my death."
