a great deal of docloring is done to
sick cattle and horses, especially those

Heyworth road, on as beautiful n piece

that a good judge would place its value
with improvements at fifty dollars an
acre. Mr.. lioughton contcntedly fol-

which a kind Providence has showcred

The republican party in Illinois is
largely divided on the currency ques.
ton, and the action of the state con.
vention on the seventeenth OF June
will be looked for with interest The
press and the leaders are divided as to
whether the convention shall declare d
policy on the subject or whether it
shall be passed by as dangerous
theme upon which to dwell. The
choice Of either plan precipitates dis.
sensions in the party from the outset of
the campaign. The adoption of reso.
buttons for or against initiation will
please only one wing of the party-to

Whichever choice is made the currency
question is the rock upon which the

We are called upon thi. morning to re-
cord the death Of ROBERT l. CURTIS, OF
Moundsyille, who departed this life yes
terdAy morning at his residence near that

the same paper that was started by ALEX.
ARMSTRONG as early as 1907. He con-
tInued the publication Of the Ga,eth up to
the years 1884 or 'S5, about which time
he sold out to SAMUEL Il. DAVIS. Mr..

remaining land. marks Of that cOmpGri-
lively primitive day in Wheeling. He
