Louie Dumont, the grocer, is about as funny as
he is fleshy his great avoirdupois sissomewhat in
convenientin hot weather and he thought little
gymnastic exercise and training might serve to
bring him down in weight somewhat He went
out to his warehouse the other day to do little
aerial business on two hoisting ropes, and was
trying to accomplish that feat known to the boys
as "skinning the cal" when he came near skin
ming his nose and whole physiognomy by sud
den and abrupt drop. When his feet were up to-
ward the sky, and his head pointing in bee-line
to the floor, one of the ropes became loosened and
shot suddenly downward, landing the performer
on his head, and causing him to perform numer-
GUS contortions. he has about concluded to re.
duce his weight by some other method less haz.

being candidate for nomination to the office of
Common Pleas Judge, and as you have in Col.
Meyer candidate eminently qualified for the
position, ask that my name be withdrawn from
the canvass The heartiness with which you have
pressed my nomination, and the warm support
which you have voluntarily given me have in
the highest degree, been appreciated and will
ever be gratefully remembered.

On last Monday, when the mercury was fzzing
at some point in the nineties, a rsd.eyed man
near the depot was heard to say something about
having been in countries where they had warm
weather; SO warm that 1t melted brass buckles off
of ones suspeuders. Ten minutes after he was
walking lame out the railroad track, and when
he came to the creek he stopped long enough to
bathe several bruised places half way between his
heels and the back of his neck.

onlast Friday, when the severe stor q came up
a number of laborers were at work on the road
bed of the Valley Railroad in the western part Of
the city. The men Immediately sought shelter
and one man with team started with the rest to
find sheltering place, as he was going along
the wind became so strong that it blew dust and
sand so densely that both man and horses were
blinded, and the team fell over bank and sank
into the soft muck and mire below, presenting a
sad appearance after they were taken out which
was only accomplished by 'ong spell of hard
labor, Neither of the horses was badly hurt,

SPECIAL ATTENTION.

We wish 10 call the attention of all farmers to a
matter Of special importance to them Now that
harvest time is coming rapidly on, the necessity
of having scythes, cradles and tools and devices
of many kinds that are needed by farmers at
their work, will be felt. To those who would
make any purchases in this line, we would rec.
ommend the large and completely stocked hard.

been unpopular, has been drawn up and signed
by tifty.six pupils Of the High School, number
greater than the average attendance.

A dozen or more tramps are quartered in the
woods just east of the creek, and short distance
south of the east railroad bridge. They lie out
under the dense foliage of the trees hold councils
of war, and live like gypsies, only perhaps not
quite as honorably. They deputize committees
each day to come up town and collect eatables,
and when a sufficient quantity has been begged,
the committee returns and they have their meals
on the grass. Sometimes they get enough on one
trip to last day or two, On Tuesday they scraped
up dollar and got hold of a jug, and held a
whisky matinee They keep out of the corpora.

We regret to announce that VIM. H Ferguson,
the grocer and queensware dealer in Mathews
Block, made an assignment on Monday for the
benefit of his creditors, the assignees being Major
VIM. Mckinley and VIM. Dannemiller The gen
eral opinion among business men seems to be that
Mr. Ferguson made the assignment impulsively
when there was really no necessity for 1t. He is
a square man, and has the sympathy and good
will of all citizens

A weary and detected looking man, weighing
nearly two hundred pounds went swaying up
Tuscarawas street Tuesday evening. His right
arm was swinging like wet dish'rag with hot
potato at the end fit, and in his hand he carried
a large blacksmith's hammer, probably to help in
sustaining his equilibrium. He was not arrested
because he kept his mouth closed, and went
quietly though croOkedly along, attending to his
own business

Henry Bergh ought to station an agency at Can
ton for the prevention of cruelty to animals On
last Thursday lank and wildeyed steed dashed
down East Tuscarawass street with young tree or
bush tied to his tail, which frightened the horse
greatly. When near Cherry street, he ran onto
the sidewalk and came very near running onto
two little children whowere playing there, sheri'
dams ride to Winchester was sort of tame affair
compared to the fight of this excited steed, and
no doubt the parties who started him up thought
they were perpetrating a funny joke, though two
children might have been crippled or killed by
their folly.

PIGEON sHooT.-A. Nunamaker and Gus. Pur'
ney shot a match last Saturday afternoon, at the
shorb farm for the gold badge and the county
championship. The contestants shot at ten birds
each, the first named using breech loader and
the other a muzzle loader. The shooting must
have been poor to say the best of it, the winner,
Purney, killing but seven out of ten BIRDS and
Nunamaker giving up at five birds

BEEsNEss.-What conflicting and turbulent emo.
tions must have whirled through the mind Of a
Perry township man the other day, as he felt
whole swarm Of bees alighting on his head, neck
and arms, ready to extract all the sweetness from
his system. He yelled "Git out" "shoo," and ran,
almost blinded, to house, where the swarm was
boxed and the frightened man relieved without
having received sting. 1t often happens that
one little honey extractor will cause man with
thin pants on, enough pain to last him week,
but when hundreds of the little things light on a
mans head, buzz in his ear, crawl up and down
his spine and tickle his nose it is time for him to
think of resorting TO strategy.

The little bare.footed girl was looking behind
her on Tusearawas street, Monday evening, when
a woman pushing a baby cab, and also looking
back, ran the cab against the little girl, who
doubled up, made dive, and in sheep fashion,
struck the baby amidships with her head, There
was confusion then, and each hastily said to the
other, "better look where you're going" as they
nassed on

r, Champion, New York, is the name he threw
onto the register at the Ogden House. He came
here about three weeks ago, and stayed fol sew
eral days getting up hanging advertising card
A few days ago he came back to town, and since
his return has been drinking, On Wednesday
evening he went into Nye's drug store and bought
five cents worth Of laudanum, saying he had tooth
ache it is supposed he took this, but it was not
enough to effect him. He afterwards went to the
same drug store and asked for arsenic, saying his
wife wanted it for rats but the clerk, suspicious,
refused to give it. Then he got some carbolic
acid and went to the Ogden House saloon, and
finally, wanted to go to his room, but his manner
had aroused the suspicious OF the landlord, who
refused to allow him to go to his room. He then
visited number Of drug stores and asked for
laudanum or arsenic at each place By this time
the police got wind of his actions and officer Rig
Ter took him in tow to the Mayor, but there was
nothing to hold him on, and he was released.
Several employees and others at the Ogden say he
also tried to hang himself on hook in the wash
room. At last accounts he was still snuflng up

The main stairway leading from the east side of
the outer hall to the court room, in the Stark
county mill of justice looks as though it had been

who have nothing to do but borrow fine cut and
lounge in the Court House seats.
