CHEAP.-We notice in the Columbus
STATESMAN that the price of "plaln
drunk" In the capital city is one dollar
and costs. The price is probably fixed '.as
low as the law will allow" to encourage
home enterprise in that directions Bryan

terson. Well bet three-cent stamp your
wallet will look sick before you getthrough
with the costs. Besides, our Mayor is one
OF the most gentlemanly and obliging men
in the world, and he'll put the fine as high
as you want. @a 81 5a6aea

PROF. MACALLIsTER's FAREWELL BENE-
FIT.-To-night Prof. Macallstcr makes his
last appearance at the Opera House, for
the present, at least. An entire change of
programme is offered, the principal exper-
iments being the Blood-red Writing on
the, Arm" and the Chinese Rings. The
writing Is one of those tricks that seems to
defy all known laws, and to be truly insti-
gated by Old Nick. 1t must be seen to be
understood or appreciated. The minor
tricks, also, are of the sort passing COM
prehension, and almost surpass belief. To-
night the principal present will be splen-
did walnut chamber set, worth 500, and a
gold hunting case lever watch, and the
price of tickets will be increased to fifty
cents to all parts of the house.
Last night another immense crowd was
present. The splendid feat of the " "Couch
of the Angels of the Air." was, as pre-
viOusly, received with shouts of applause.
The parlor couch was drawn by Patrick
Murphy, who lives on the corner of Fourth
and Chapel, and who held ticket No. 6S.
We cannot part with Prof. Macallister
without recommending him and his clever,
social, genial agent, c. p. Sherman, to our
brethren of the Press at Pittsburgh, where
they appear on Tuesday, and elsewhere.
Those of them whom Mr.. S. may visit and
with whom he may have business will find
him prompt, reliable and courteous. This
is an edict with red seal.

AN OLD REsIDENTER.-At Col. Geary's
Office yesterday we were shown bound
volume of "The Supporter" paper pub
lished in Chillicothe in 1914. The first
number is dated on the Sth day of October
in that year, and has for its motto this quo
tation from Jefferson: "Let us, then, with
courage and confidence, pursue our own
Federal Republican principles-our attach
ment to Union and representative Govern
ment." 1t was published by Nashee &
Denny; is in the old style of long IS" and
Is about fourteen inches in length by per-
haps eight in width. From it we learn that
the expenditures of Ross county for the
year ending September 9th, 1914, were
S6406.031S, and the receipts like amount.
The county tax was S3,6O539, and the land
tax S5,S35.5314. 1t contains full account
of the battle of Lake Champlain, and the
following dispatch in relation to the Brit
ish attack on Fort Bowyer, now Fort Nor
gan, at the entrance to Mobile Bay:
"FRANKFoRT, Oct. l, 1914.
awe stop the mail to state the glorious
news that Fort Bowyer is safe. The Brit

that he has closely observed the local col
umns of both the dailies here, and he Is
sorry to notice that the locals" as a gem
cral thing, use bad grammar. Well bet
box of backing that fellows a fool, an
we won't look. Besides, we'll bet shoe
brush-so that he can 60 into business if he
wins-that after being local editor for a
week he wouldn't have sense enough left
to procure him admission into the primary
class of an asylum for idiots. Did this min
compoop ever consider of the requisites and
duties of local editor? Guess not. Well
tell him. A local must have hide as tough
as that of rhinoceros, the loquacity of
magpie, and the impudence of - that
other fellow. No matter where It may
please him to stick his nose, he must be
able to convince people 1t belongs just
there, He mustn't mind being snubbed,
or cursed, or kicked. He must understand
the suLlimest theories that the mind Of
man ever conceived, and comprehend per-
1OCOiy 1lO NY oOCii iOo VI u uiOusO bIdps sou
His chiefest occupation must be that of
puffing-a human bellows ready at all times
to fan somebody's sparks into Q flame. He
must be witty in regard to Smiths grocery,
perfectly du Tdit on all the little thingumbobs
and furbelows in Miss Flounce's millinery,
and poetic in the matter of dry goods. If
he be invited to walk sixteen miles in the
broiling sun or OH a freezing cold day to get
a six line item in regard to patent churn
or brick machine, he must not grumble.
If he be invited to dine at Hotel de Ia Buck
soheGt, he must be ready to pronounce the
viands superb, though the steak be SO
tough that railroad car wheel wouldn't
90 through 1t. IT he be invited to cham
pagne supper, he must make himself be-
lieve he was asked in social way, and be-
cause of his own worth, and not because of
the fine notice he can write of the affair.
And all this is to be done on the double
quick, high pressure principle. The ques-
tion with the general reader is not as to how
grammatically items be written, but how
many of them have you got. Grammar!
Oh, yes, the local columns of daily news
paper are wholesome places for grammar

POROUS PE.AsTERS.

I1aTltOrd Conn.,, Nov. 1864
Messrs. Thomas Allcock 4 Co-Please send,
with dispatch, twelve dozen Allcock's Porous
Piasters. Our daily experience confirms their
very superior excellence. At this moment of
writing a man applies for one, who, by entangle-
ment in the shaft of machinery, had both his legs
broken, spine severely injured, and was for nearly
year entirely helpless. This man found relief
very soon by the application of plaster to his
spine. He was soon enabled to work, and now
he labors as we'll as ever. He would cheerfuy
pay SIS for single plaster if they could not be
had at lower rate. l am surprised that sur
geons do not make of these perforated plasters
to the exclusion of all others, their fexibilitv
and adhesiveness greatly in advance of all
other plasters with which am acquainted while
the perforations peculiar to them rendered them
greatly superior to all Others for ordinary surgical
s. Knowing the plasters to be useful, 1
have scruples that my sentiments should be
known; J. w. JOHNSON, NJ. d.

A YOUNG LADY

Returning to her country home, after a sojourn
of few months in the city, was hardly recog-
nized by her friends. In place of a coarse, rus
tic, flushed face, she had a soft ruby complexion
of almost marble smoothness, and instead of
tWenty-three she really appeared but sist.ts~,.--
Upon inquiry as to the cause of so great change,
she plainly told them that she used the CIN-
G sSlAN BALM, and considered it an inval-
liable acquisition to any ladys toilet. BY its use
any lady or gentleman can improve their personal
appearance an hundred fold 1t is simple in its
combination, nature herself is simple, yet I'M

DIR. Maggiel is the founder of new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach..and paralyze the bow
els and with whose external remedies the ulcerat-
ed and eruptive surfaces of the skin deluged
in vain must give place to the man who restores
his health and appetite with from one to three
harmless pills, and cures the most virulent and
scrofulous disorders with from one to three bexes
of his matchless salye.
DIR. MaggiePs Pills and Salve have ushered in
a new medical era. No more nauseating avalan-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples threats. One Of Maggiel's Pills rectifes
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver,
cleanses the head and restores the nerves in q
space of time short enough to be almost ciassed

For the Argus.
A CARD.

Mr.. EDIroR-Having retired from the Mil
ling business in Camden Mills, and disposed of
my Mill property in that place, desire, thro'
the columns of your paper, to return to my
many friends and the public generally, my ain
csre thanks for the kind and very liberal pat
ronage which has been bestowed upon me dur.
ing the past sixteen years.
As to my successor, Mr.. Fl. P. Beattie, he 10
too well and favorably known to need recon.
mendation from me, having been a resident of
the place almost from boyhood, and by his
constant attention to business, strict integrity,
untiring industry, and careful prudence, won
his way from position of almost obscurity to
one of respect and popularity among all who
know him. And in recommending him to the
public patronage feel but echo public opin-
ion. He will continue the Milling business at
the old Mill, in both merchant and custom
work. JAS. JOHNSTON.

The MOLINE Posi- OFFICE.-Quite a sem
sation was created in Moline and this city,
Wednesday evening, by telegram from
Washington that William Kerns had been
confirmed by the senate as postmaster in
Moline, in place of Geo. D. Gould, Esq, re-
moved. Mr.. Kerns and Mr.. Gould are both
republicans. Kerns was postmaster during
Lincoln's first term. A very large, respecta-
BILE and influential portion of the republicans
of Moline, believing in the doctrine of rota-
ton in office, concluded that Mr.. kerns had
held the place his share of the time and unit
ed in recommendation to Congressman
Harding to appoint Mr.. Gould. Mr.. Harss
ding recommended the change and Mr.
Gould was appointed. An effort was then
made by the Kerns party, led by Messrs
Wheelock, Atkinson & Co., in Moline; and
Messrs Hawley, Truesdale & Co., of this city,
10 get Kerns reinstated. This was opposed
bv the Gould party, led by Messrs c. Fl.
Deere the Vintons, Goulds and the younger
members of the republican party in Moline
and by Messrs Webster, Mclaughlin, Grover,
Merrill and others in this city, and Mr..
Gould was kept in the Office. Mr.. kerns
was an obnoxious and Objectionable man
and the people wanted him kept out. Mr.
Gould was very popular post master and a
very large majority of the people of all par
ties were suited with his management.
But now, when neither the public nor the
friends of Mr. Gould knew of any attempt to
remove him and reinstate Kerns, comes the
astounding intelligence that the kerns,
Wheelock, Atkinson and Hawley party have
recently managed to get kerns reinstated.-
Some imposition has been practiced upon
the President or this thing could never have
been accomplished. That Mr.. Harding was
the man who managed the matter does not
admit of q doubt,-nor is there any doubt
that the Kerns, Wheelock, Atkinson, Robin.
son, Hawley wing of the republican party
were the movers in the matter. That wing
of the republican party has managed, in Sc.
cret without consulting even their own par
ty, to sacrifice George Gould and his friends
But, let those laugh ,loudest who laugh
last. 1t is not impossible that the people
may yet be heard in this matter. If the
President should find that he has been i'm
posed upon in this matter he may set the
matter right.
