From the West.

We have recently had several letters
frow the west portions of which are of
general interest
Henderson Massie writes from Carter
county. in the south part of Missouri,
and says: Crops look well here at pres
ent. Wheat crops were pretty good, but
have been damaged considerably by the
recent heavy rains. Corn crops look ex-
ceedingly well. We have pretty good
crop of apples and peaches. In fact, it
looks like we would have an abundant
crop of all kinds of produce. We have
had very favorable season SO far"
James K. Tope, of Cave Spring, Butler
county, Kansas, after praising the STAN
DARD as an excellent paper, says: 1--WE
have the finest wheat crop in South
Western Kansas that I ever saw. We
have fine and timely showers of rain,
and the corn and potato crops bid fair to
be the best ever raised in this part of the
State. We have no chinch bugs or hop
pers to damage US yet The settler is of
good heart, and well he may be.
1u0 nSdl1A Vi ILLS NlCluIGy Is very
good. We have no fever or ague as is
common in a growing season like this. "
John Trexler writes from Linder, JAS
I per county, Illinois, and says: Your

der, for the last year or two. Why it is

some % years ago, and say the selection
was good.
81 still remember the time you taught
school in the old Conner School House in
Hamilton township, also the spelling
school at Enoch Canter's, where you
acted so green, stammered and baked,
but never missed word. 1 remember
you was the last choice, and only through
much persuasion you could be induced
to spell at all But the longer you tried
the better you spelled. Old'father Cas-
sidy was the teacher. He pronounced
very slowly and correctly to you until
you got good start. All at once he
understood it. But enough of this.
"Well Mr. Mackley, your prophecy has
come to pass in regard to this being a
wet or rainy season. Twenty years ago
was very wet, but not SO much so as the
present season. For the last six weeks
there has been more rain than l ever
saw in the same length of time. There
are thousands of acres of corn that won't
make bushel to the acre. There are
also thousands of acres of the best corn
ever saw at this season of the year.
Those who planted early and cultivated
or plowed once or twice, have good corn.

There are 100000 in Government
bonds in this county, upon which there
is not a cent of taxes paid. The average
rate in the county is one dollar and a
half. If these bonds paid their proper
ton they would turn into the county
treasury $4,000 per annum, thereby lift
ing that much from the shoulders of the
people. The Republican party gave us
this policy, and hereafter when you hear
a Republican cavorting about thigh
taxes" you can just mention this matter
to him. West Union Defender.
Why did not your Democratic Legisla
ture tax the bonds2 You are little
wild in your figures, claiming that one
hundred thousand dollars at one dollar
and a half per hundred, will give fifteen
thousand dollars; but that is about as
near the truth as Democrat ever get:
when talking about finance. Seriously
you can have your bonds taxed. Buy
them in, and start National Bank will
them. Then they will not only be fully
taxed, but will add $90,O00to your cur

MEDICINES,

A prominent New York physician lately
complained to DUNDAS DICK q co. about
their Sandalwood Oil Capsules stating that
sometimes they cured miraculously, but that a
patient of his had taken them without effect.
On being informed that several limitations were
sold, he inquired and found his patient had not
been taking DUNDAS DICK & cos.
What happened to this physician may have
happened to others, and DUNDAS DICK & co.
take this method of protecting physicians, drug
giStS and themselves and preventing Oil of San
dalwood from coming into diSrepute.
PHYSICIANS who once prescribe the Cap
suleS will continue to do SO, for they contain
the pure Oil in the best and cheapest form.
DUNDAS DICK eco. use more Oil of San
dalwood than all the Wholesale and Retail
Druggists and Perfumers in the United States
combined, and this is the sole reason why the
pure Oil is sold cheaper i'll their Capsules than
in any other form.
OIL OF SANDALWOOD is fast superseding
every other remedy, sixty Capsules only being
required to insure safe and certain cure in six
or eight days. From no other medicine can
this result be had.
solve the problem, long considered by eminent
physicians, of how to avoid the nausea and dis
gust experienced in swallowing, which are well
known to detract from, if not destroy, the good
effects of many valuable remedies.
Soft Capsules are put up in tn-foil and neat
boxes, thirty in each, and are the only Cap
sules prescribed by physicians.

Democratic demagogues are constantly
claiming that the Republican party has
changed ground upon the question of
finance and currency. To show the fall
sity of this charge, we publish the reso-
luton of the Philadelphia convention
which nominated Grant in 1872:
Is. We denounce the reputation of
the public debt in any form or disguise
as National crime. We witness with
pride the reduction of the principal of
the debt, and of the rates of interest upon
the balance, and confidently expect that
our National currency will be perfected
by speedy resumption of specie pay
ment.
Compare the foregoing with the pres
ent State platform:
I'd. That the policy of finance should
be steadily pursued, which, without un-
necessary shock to business, will ulti-
mately equalize the purchasing capacity
of the coin and paper dollar.

James Timbrook has been superseded
as mail agent by James Salisbury. Prob
ably Timbrook was too accommodating to
newspaper men to suit the administra-
ton ring, Timbrook never forgot to fur
nish news items to the press, and was an
accommodating official. Probably he failed
to pay thesannual assessments made by
the GRANTEES. Times.
We learned when in Portsmouth that
this man Timbrook was constantly going
around cursing and slandering the ad
ministration that has kept him in office
for fifteen years. We have almost con
elusive evidence that he is the dad who
has been neglecting his business on the
train, carrying letters and papers past
their proper destination, while attend

Those who planted late could not culti-
vate at all, consequently they will have
no corn. Wheat was good, but poorly
cared for in shocking and some is still
standing in the shock, and is badly dam
aged Oats good, but few saved. Grass
is excellent, but must stand on the field
until haying weather comes. Potatoes
are the best 1 ever saw. 1t is thought
the wet weather will rot them All gar

thought the rain will damage them also.

We have not said anything about the
candidates on the Democratic county
ticket, and we do not desire to do so if
we can avoid it. But some of the lead
ers of the party are going around beg
ging Republicans to vote for this or that
Democrat on the ticket. They also have
the cheek to talk about the taxes of the
people being reduced by putting the
Democrats in the county offices. The
best way to ease up our taxes is for the
last batch of Democratic officials to pay
into the treasury that $4,000 lost to the
taxpayers when they had control. The
public records show that one of the can
didates on the Democratic ticket is de-
faulter to the taxpayers in the sum ot

John l. Vanmeter died at his residence
in Chillicothe last week. He was 78
years of age. He was native of Vir-
ginia, and a graduate of Princeton Col
lege. He was elected to Congress on the
Whig ticket from this district in the
year 1912, and served one term. He was
then resident of Pike county. We
heard him make speech in jackson in
the campaign of 1912. the only time we
ever saw him. He was a tall, fine looking
man.
Mr.. Vanmeter was Wing until the
time slavery killed the party. and being
wealthy, aristocratic Virginian, ne nat
urally drifted into the pro-slavery Dem
ocratic party, where he remained.

Our readers will remember the many
complaints we have been making about
the miserable manner in which the mail
service has been performed on the rail
road between Hamden and Portsmouth.
When in Portsmouth Mr.. Robinson, one
of the agents, explained to our entire
satisfaction, that it was not his fault.
We then learned that the other agent,
who is Democratic sneak, has just been
removed from the service. We do hope
that we will have no more cause for

The Cincinnati Gazette of Monday had
a letter from Portsmouth, in which it is
claimed that DR.. 1. T. Monahan is a Cath
Ole. As the DR.. has always spoken very
favorably of the Catholics, and has edu-
Gated his three daughters at Catholic
institution, st. Marys of the Springs,
near Columbus, many persons think that
he is ready to do the bidding of the Pope.
In justice to DR.. Monahan, we will state
that he told US last week that he is not
Catholic, but a Universalist Our pri
vate opinion is that the DR.. has not
enough of any kind of religion to make
it necessary to squabble about it

There was very large attendance at
the meeting of the colored folks in Lib
erty township last Sunday. A Democrat
who was present reports that one of the
preachers urged all the colored folks to
vote the Republican ticket. That showed
his good sense. A colored man who
would vote the Democratic ticket is too
low to deserve the elective franshise.
DIR. I. 7. Monahan is shaking hands
with the colored men. He informed US
only last week that he had been turned
out of the Methodist church for refusing
to permit his family to read the Western
Christian Advocate because it was an
abolition paper, and because he refused

We see by the Chillicothe Advertiser
that Thomas Clewers, Oldest son of Rob
ert E. G. Clewers of this place, has been
bound over to Court, by the Mayor of
Chillicothe, in the sum of $500, on a
charge of stealing valuable ring from
Mrs. C. Stewart Beverly. The evidence
was only circumstantial. Tommy was
brought up across the street from where
we resided, and we have known him
from childhood. He was always good,
honest boy. We do not believe he is
guilty.

The East Ironton Band, composed
chiefly of Germans, and the German del

that the great moral compulsatory tenn

Germans when they vote the Democratic
ticket, but when they vote on the other
side they call them id lop-eared

who will not vote for Sam. Cary, or the
