Prof. G. w. Michael received telegram on
Thursday evening last from Greenfield, Ohio,
stating that his wife was dangerously i'll. He
started for that place from here on Friday
morning, and arrived at 2 O'Clock p. M, but
was too late to see her i'll state of conscious
ness, she having been unconscious for several
hours prior to his arrival. She died on Satur-
day morning. The telegram was received at
Nelsonville on Wednesday evening, but was
not delivered until twenty-four hours after
wards. The deceased leaves husband and
small child to.mourn her loss.
We notice Mr.. Michael is back and we sup
pose will resume his writing-school.-N Nelson

About year ago Prof. Michael taught
writing-school in this place, and he and
his wife boarded at the Isham House.
We sat at the same table with them at
meals for several weeks, and became
quite well acquainted. Mrs. Michael
was very intelligent lady, and her death
will be sad news to many persons who
made her acquaintance while she was

The following we find in one of our
exchanges:
"HARD BOILED EGGs.-It is a popular belief
that hard boiled eggs are indigestible, or at
least hard to digest and unsafe to eat except by
the healthiest and hardest people. Now here
comes a correspondent of the Boston Medical
Journal and says he has cured dyspepsia with
hard boiled eggs, and that they are not un-
healthy at all. He says they are better than
half boiled eggs or raw eggs, and We are inclin-
ed to believe him, not only because he is a doc
tor, but we have never knew any harm to re-
suit from eating hard boiled eggs unless it was
from an overdose"
We have seen men eat dozen and a
half of hard boiled eggs at one timc on
a wager, and no harm result from it.
The disgusting habit of eating raw eggs,
like many other popular fallacies, will
some time be abandoned. There is
prevalent opinion that it is extremely
unhealthy, and even dangerous, to eat a
hearty supper just before going to bed.
This, also, is now being found to be un-
true. All animals desire to sleep after
eating. An experiment was recently
made with two dogs. They were fed
with meat, and one was permitted to
sleep, and the other was engaged in the
chase. In two hours they were both
killed The food in the one that had
slept was fully digested, while the food
in the other was nearly in the same con-
dtion as when it was swallowed. If a
healthy person desires good, sound, re-
froshing sleep, let him eat some cold
boiled meat, bread, pickles, &c, and
drink cup of coffee, just before retiring.
We know all the old fogies will be
alarmed at such a suggestion

should be made to punish guilty parties. In
this case he said one of the interested parties
swore to a deliberate falsehood, for the fact was
Of such nature that neither of the parties
could possibly be mistaken, and yet their evil
dence was directly contradictory Judge Har-
per said he granted a new trial more willingly
because he hoped that evidence would point
out to certainty which party was guilty of
perjury He remarked that no matter what the
verdict was, one or the other of the parties
should be prosecuted for perjury; that false
swearing was entirely too common, and should
be severely punished. We think the judge
made good point, and one which will and
should create general public interest. man
who sits in our courts from day TO day, must be
convinced of the fearful amount of false swear
ing. There are cases. and many of them, too,
in which many may honestly differ in their
testimony, especially upon minor points de-
tails which depend on the memory; but on the
other hand there is contradictory evidence of a
positive nature, and of such character that
witnesses cannot possibly be mistaken, but who
deliberately swear to falsehood, as in the case
above mentioned. 1t is astonishing to what
extent perjury is committed and when Judge
Harper spoke he did in this case, he struck a
chord which sounded in every mans heart in
that court room. A few prosecutions and pun
ishments for perjury in this county would have
| wholesome effect.

The editor of the Jackson STANDARD con-
cludes column article on the Governorship as
follows:
ssI am going to vote for a Republican for Gov
ernor next fall or / will not vote.'
That is a sensible conclusion to come to. 1t is
without doubt the decision that has been ar
rived at by thousands of Republicans all over
the State. They want a sound, consistent
Straightforward, upright Republican. Such a
kind of Republican the STANDARD can find in
Judge Taft He was member of the conven-
ton that nominated Fremont almost twenty
years ago, and he has remained true to the
party ever since. You cannot find Republican
in the State with more consistent loyal
record Cincinnati Gazette.
We believe that to be true, but are
there not dozens of Republicans in Ohio
lust as consistent, loyal and true, just as
able and competent, who are not so ter
ribly mixed up and weighted down with
side issues Suppose Judge Taft should
lose five hundred Republican votes in
Jackson county alone, on account of his
anti-Bible decision. Is not that worthy
of consideration ? Suppose he should be
able to get five thousand more votes in
Hamilton county than any other man,
on account of his views on this question,
and for the same reason should lose five
hundred votes in each of fifty other
in the State, where would be
the gain

The following is from the Scientific

American:
"a NEW CAUSE OF TEIcHINlE IN PoRK.-Some
new cases of deaths, due to the eating of pork
infested with triehinG, which are being quoted
in Western Journals, should be the means of
directing public attention anew to the horrible
disease of swine called tfichiRosiS, and to the
fact that, when once the parasite attacks a hu-
man being, the result is prolonged suffering
and, in multiplicity of instances, death. The
worm existing in the pork literally bores its
way out of the stomach and into the muscles
at has lately been found that swine may be-
come in tested with trichiniR through eating
carrion, or even decayed vegetable substances.
This is point worth consideration by farmers
who incline TO the belief that dead chickens,
putrid swill, or any other filth about the place
is legitimate food for the pig. The animal is not
dainty in his tastes, and will lunch off his dead
relatives with infinite gusto; but it is the poor
est economy to permit him to assume the role
of scavenger. No milk dealer viii allow his
cows to eat garlic if he can help it, though the
brutes are fond of the odoriferous weed; and
there is certainly more reason for the farmer to
see that his porkers have no access to unclean
food. In the one case, if pTecaution be neglect
ed, the taste of the milk is affected; in the
other the entire flesh is rendered poisonous and
dangerous food"
Hogs raised about towns and cities are
rarely fit for human food. 1t is quite
different on the farm, where hogs get
clover, corn, apples, pure milk, &c. We
have seen hogs even in Jackson, that are
raised, and even fattened, almost exclu-
sively upon the offal of the slaughter
house They drink blood, and eat the
decayed refuse of the cattle and sheep,
and this offall is often nothing but putrid
carrion, 1t is little better where hogs
are fattened at distilleries, and a large
portion of the bacon of commerce is thus
produced. A person who has never
eaten pork or bacon of the half wild hogs
from the woods, that have lived upon
acorns, nuts, roots, &C., would not be.

Two more of the old citizens of Scioto
county died recently. One was John W d.
Thomas, and the other Claudius Cadot,
pronounced Caddo) Mr.. Cadot was
born in Gallipolis, in Feb, 1893. 1t is
said that he was the first male child born
in Gallipolis. We remember passing the
residence of Mr.. Cadot in the year 1894,
when going to visit a sister of ours who
then resided at Franklin Furnace We

They will have their innocent amuse-
ments, the results of personal liberty"
in Cincinnati on Sunday. The following
little items were cut from the Gazette of
Monday:
Captains johnson and Welsh and patrolmen
Eichelberger, Brady. and Mahoney, arrested
the landlady and five of the inmates of Gano
street bagnio, and locked them up in Ninth
Street Station, last night.
"John Delano, an Italian, who tried to COM
NIT suicide few months ago, celebrated his
release from the Work house by numerically
beating his wife. He was arrested yesterday
and taken to the Ninth Street Station.
mike Finnery, who lives on Central avenue,
above Findlay street, was lodged in Oliver
Street Station, yesterday, on the charge of
abusing his family. Likewise George Hart, a
pretzel baker, who lives on the corner of Oliver
street and Central avenue.
"Thomas English, a notorious character of
the Thirteenth Ward, entered a saloon on
Broadway, above Fourth street,yesterday even
ing, and attempted to enforce a speedy compI
ance with his demand for a glass of beer by
hurting bowlder at the head of the barkeeper,
who had presumed to ask paymentin advance.
Fortunately the barkeeper was agile enough to
evade the bowlder, and it went crashing through
door opposite. English was thereupon ar
rested, but it was found necessary to raise few
Jumps on his head before he would walk qui-
city to Hammond Street Station"
These innocent amusements are not
confined to Cincinnati. Personal liberty
is the rule in all the cities. Here is the
result of its exercise in another place last
Sunday;

We would like to know whether the
good people of Wellston sanction such
stuff as appeared in the Hamden Leader
last week If they do not want their
thriving young town to be brought into
utter contempt, they would save it from
such fate by public disa vowal of such
balderdash.
In the course of an editorial it says:
jackson C. H is not the centre of the coal
and iron region of Jackson county by long
way. The coal and iron around Jackson, never
very abundant, has, to a great extent, been
used up, and its citizens already have to de-
pend on the hill veins. some two miles from
the town. for their CRATE COAL"
We will have the charity to believe
that the writer of the above thus exposes
himself through ignorance, or want of
common sense.
Again, he says:
$50 from these facts we should suppose they
would take the more level and easy route and
aim for Wellston, either via. Waverly or Chill
licothe, where coal and iron exists in mex
haustible quantities, and of far superior article
than ever Jackson C. H. possessed"
1t will certainly crafty the people of
Waverly and Chillicothe to learn that
coal and iron ore exist there in "inex-
haustible quantities"
Here is small specimen of petty
spite and petty jealousy
''But then it may be that the object in build
ing the road is to get to the town of Jackson,
as it is place of considerable importance, "
after which they branch out to the coal
f1elds.''
The writer then goes into figures, and
he is as powerful as he was when he de-
scribed 2,20O acres of land as being seven
miles long and three miles wide. He
figures up that when the road is finished
to Jackson, it must be run back four
miles, to Washington Meeting House be-
fore coal will be reached. Of course,
capitalists would pass all the great coal
banks along Horse Creek, and even the
celebrated Anthony Bank, for the sol e
purpose of playing into the hands of a
few spectators at Wellston.
jackson has six furnaces finished, and
two more to be built this summer, Erie
and Eureka, with coal enough already
discovered of the shaft seam to operate
them and twenty more, for fifty years.
The coal fields of the Wellston region
are vast and valuable, and we have al
ways done them full justice. Jackson
needs no lying to assure her reputation
for mineral wealth, and Wellston may
yet learn that honesty is not only best,
but the best policy.

Last Sunday week two drunk men,
named Alonzo jackson and Albert Smith,
got into skiff at GAINESVILLE, and went
over the dam in the Muskingum river.
They had their wives and children with
them. Both of the women, and a child
of each, were drowned. 1t was Sabbath
evening, and was pure case of personal
liberty" No one in this country will
dare question the right of these men to
get drunk on the Sabbath day and drown
their wives and children. If they had
shot them, or cut their throats, great
excitement would have been raised.

of Washington Priehards, aged about 60 years.
She was most estimable woman, dearly be-

We find the following in the last num-
Der of the Marietta Times:


Der of the Marietta Times:
"The Marietta Register, Gallipolis Journal,
Ironton journal, and others we might mention,
of the crusading type of papers, have declared
for Judge Taft, of Cincinnati, as the Republican
candidate for Governor. On the other hand,
the Akron Beacon, and other papers of its ilk,
which did not take much stock in the crusade,
are opposing his nomination. The Beacon has
no objections to Taft, but it is afraid the crusa-
ders won't support him; at the same time
leading crusade papers are trying TO bring about
his nomination."-MefgsC County Telegraph.
Judge Taft is an infidel who is opposed to all
Sunday laws, bitter anti-crusader and anti
Temperance man, and while On the bench as
Judge in Cincinnati, rendered a decision BAN
ishing the bible from the public schools. Not
withstanding all this, such religious temper
ance and high-toned moral papers as those first
named by the Telegraph want Judge Taft NOM
mated for Governor of Ohio. Such hypocrites
should be whipped with rod of thorns
The Republicans can see what they
will have to meet, should Judge Taft be
the nominee of the Republican conven-
tion. And the worst of it all is, that the
Democrats will have enough truth on
their side to make it an up hill business
10 fight the matter through.
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1875-05-27

The Cincinnati Commercial says that the
question as to candidate for Governor lies
between Judge Taft and the nobodies.
Every man who has any regard for po-
litical honesty and consistency; every
man who has any respect for law and
order; every man who regards the Sab
bath day as holy; every man who be-
ieves in morality and the Christian re-
ligion, is nobody" in the estimation
of that satanic sheet.

The Columbus journal gets off pretty

good thing when it says:
"The Cincinnati Commercial still thinks that
it is of no sort of consequence what 'howling
idiots may think of Taft Bible man and
Sunday law man; while it is of the greatest
consequence what 'howling idiots may think
of Grant as Third Term man. The CONNER
ciaI insists upon plank, in the platform, say
ing we wont vote for Grant again for President;
but it don't want any plank about what senti-
ment we shall expect our candidate for Cover
nor to have. We don't object TO the CONNER
cial having its fun-don't a silver whether
there is any platform-but we cannot help OBJ
serving that the Commercial seems to be in an
situation about the third term bust

There can be little doubt that the
grasshopper plague will be much more
extensive in the western States this year
than it was last. We believe those
States will have to be abandoned by civ
ilized men.

the papers of Monday last:
ST. LOUIS, May 2O.-The Republicans Kansas
City special says: The grasshoppers come into
town and cover the sidewalks, fences, yards
etc, and the citizens, instead of going to
church, have been destroying them all day by
the bushels. In many places so many have
been killed that an almost uncomfortable stencil
has been created, and sanitary measures have
to be taken to prevent disease. One man dug
trench 500 feet long, into which he draws them,
and kills millions.
Independence, six miles from here, is worse
off than are.
ST. LOUIS, May 22.-The Republicans Kansas
City special says: Grasshoppers have penetra-
ted the heart of the city, moving in a vast
army, going north Trenches are being dug,
and millions are slaughtered, but nothing can
stop the red-legged pests in their march. Many
drive them from the ground with water from
hydrants. Their depredations are becoming
very serious, lawns being stripped of grass, and
garden truck being destroyed. Nothing can be
raised except in greenhouses.
