Hurry Up the Business.

The Democratic minority in the Gen
eral Assembly are using their best efforts
to obstruct legislation, by introducing
bills they know it will be impossible to
pass, dilatory motions, and every filibus-
tering device which a minority can con-
ceive of to annoy and obstruct the oper-
ations of the majority. But whether
justly or not, the Republicans will be
held responsible for the length of the
session, and the people demand that it
be a short one, and that whatever bust
ness is necessary to be transacted be
done promptly, and the Legislature ad-
journ. There is only one way to do this,
end that is by the enforcement of the
previous question" This will cut off
great deal of useless debate and save
thousands of dollars to the State. OF
course there will be an outcry about the
abridgement Of freedom of speech and all
that sort of thing, but the people of the
State do not care for buncombe speeches
at an expense Of 81 900 or more day. by
embryo orators from the back counties.
The Republicans will be held responsible
for whatever laws are enacted whether it
takes two months or six months, and
they may as well take hold of the matter
at once. The sixty days allotted for the
session have now nearly expired, and
there is enough business now before the
Assembly to keep it at least two months,
at the rate it has been progressing.
There are about two dozen bills of gener-
Il interest which ought to pass, and
inese once disposed of short work could
lie made with the remainder, and money,
labor and credit saved all around. So
hurry up things and 60 home Steu-
benville Herald.

By an obituary notice in the Standard
this week, It will be seen that another of
the pioneers is dead.
Joseph Phillips was born and brought
up in the mountains of West Virginia, on
Coal River. He came to this county
about the year 1920. His first wife was
a sister Of the editor Of this paper and we
have been intimately acquainted with
him all our life.
Mr.. Phillips was an industrious, care
full, honest man. He began life without
any property, and at his death his prop
erty was worth perhaps twenty thousand
dollars His farm embraces over four
hundred acres of fine land, between Oak
Hill and Gallia Station.
Mr.. Phillips had no means in his youth
OF procuring an education, but although
his speech was at times awkward, yet he
possessed a goodly amount of sound judg-
ment and common sense. He generally
made good bargains, and was close
dealer, but he always fulfilled his prom
ises to the very letter, and desired 9TH
ers to do the same by himself. He was
strictly honest and truthful. He had no
patience with dishonesty, pretension or
sham

DIE D..

PHILLIPs.-Joseph Phillips was porn October
PIN lsOll and died February 9th, 1876, aged 7iy.,
an, and IL days.
During his life he was upright and honest In
all his dealings with his fellow-men.
He was not a member Of any church but was
a faithful Bible reader, and always delighted In
talking on scriptural subjects.
He was always ready to raise his voice against
pride vanity.
During his last illness he profcxsed a change
of heart, expressed his willingness to die, and
seemed TO conhde i'm the saving power Of Jesus.
He advised others not to live as he had, but
urged them to seek Jesus in health, serve him
In life, and be prepared to meet him In peace.
The funeral services, conducted by the writer,
was largely attended. wM. BROWN.
EvANs.-At her home in Jackson, February
Evans.
Mrs. Evans was born I'm Jackson county Ohio,
October Is, 1876, and was the daughter OF Daniel
and Jane Jones.
She spent her girlhood amid the quiet scenes
Of her country home, esteemed and beloved by
many friends.
In September, 1865, she was married 10 John
]. &. Evans, and in the year $50 removed to
jackson c. H., her husband having been elected
Probate Judge.
Mrs. Evans made a profession OF faith In our
Savior at a very early age.
At the time OF her death Mrs. Evans was
member OF the Presbyterian Church, and was
always regarded as a faithful and consistent
member. She gave evidence to those who
knew her, and especially to those who were
Of the same church connection that she loved
the house Of the Lord and the people OF the
Lord. Her removal by death when In the
prime Of life and usefulness; when more than
ever her family of little children need her moth
erly care, is as dark a cloud as providence often
permits to gather oyer aGod-fearing family.
Besides her husband and children, she leaves
behind an aged father and three brothers. Mrs.
Evans last sickness was brief, but she gave as
surance that she was ready to depart, and be-
lieving the word Of God, we may hope that her
soul is at rest with Jesus.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

William Jarvis VS.. John ii. Stephen
son. In June, 1874, plaintiff was work
ing in coal shaft, for Erie Coal and Iron
Company, a short distance east of Jack
son. A barrel full of water was being
hoisted in the shaft, when the end Of the
rope attached to the barrel slipped out
of the iron to which it was attached, and
the barrel fell, and struck plaintiff on the
ankle, crushing the bones. Plaintiff
brought this suit against Stephenson to
recover five thousand dollars for the in
jury.
The defense set up that Stephenson
was not the proper party defendant, as
the plaintiff was working for the Erie
Coal and Iron Company, and not for Ste
phenson. 1t was also claimed that there
was no negligence on the part of defend
ant or those in his employ, but that if
there was such negligence, then plaintiff
was also guilty OF negligence, and him
self contributed to the injury.
The evidence showed that the work
was in fact done for the Erie Coal and
Iron Company, and that Stephenson was
one of the company and although Hiram
Stephenson, a son of defendant, was EN-
ployed to superintend the work, and did
SO superintend it, yet defendant was also
present most of the time, and hired
plaintiff, and paid him Tor the work, and
plaintiff testified that he did not know
that defendant had any partners. A
Gascoine was employed to direct the
hands, and he testified that he required
them to work under the barr ell as it wa:
being taken up. 1t was proven that de-
fendant repeatedly cautioned the mer
to be careful, and particularly to keel
from under the barrel. 1t was proven
that plaintiff had the opportunity of see
ing the rope, and knowing whether i
was securely fastened.
After q short deliberation, the jur,
brought in verdict in favor of defend
ant.
Sarah Ford VS.. Robert H. Ford. Tn
parties were married in the year 1922 il
Virginia. The plaintiff is now 6S year
of age, and the defendant u.s. They hat
eight children. The parties both testi
fed in the case. 1t appeared that the,
lived agreeably enough until within tn
past eight years since which time the
have had a rough time of it. Some tw
or three years ago they agreed to disa
gree, and separate. They owned fort
acres of land in Liberty township. The
gave eleven acres to a married daughter
Ford took ten acres, and Mrs. Ford tn
other nineteen acres. Some months a
ter this arrangement they conclude
they would try again to live togethe
and did so. Ford traded his ten. acre
of land for half lot, with house on j
in jamestown Addition to Jackson, an
soon afterwards Mrs. Ford traded h,
nineteen acres for the other half of ii
same lot, which had two small houses @

Bring cut the vital Energy.

There is generally, even in the most delicate
constitution, a latent reserve OF vital energy.
The medical stimulant OF all Others best calcu-
lated TO rouse this Wis enertia is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. The eimpulse which that ines
timable preparation lends to the action OF the
various organs insures a more vigorous and
consequently healthy discharge Of their vari-
Gus functions that they would be capable of
without its aid, and the "hllip to nature" thus
communicated is never excessive, but always
eauable aud regular. Just 20 much stimulation
is impaired as is required, and no more. In
respect Of the healthful gentleness Of their ac-
tion, the Bitters are immeasurably superior TO
the unmedicated stimulants Of commerce,
which, though they produce a powerfully re-
suscitating effect for few minutes, are invaria-
bly, followed by reaction, corresponding I'm
depression to their primal effect. They excite
so much at first that nature Is wearied by the
effort and is apt TO sink under the exhaustion.
Physicians who have made the stimulative ac-
tion Of the Bitters the subject Of experiment,
declare their decided preference OF them over
any other similar article. An equally high
opinion is entertained OF their regulating quail
ities by medical men who are acquainted with
their tonic effects. They speedily rectify an
irregular habit Of body, digestive disorders, and
delinquencies Of the urinary organs, which
added TO their strengthIng influence, renders
| invaluable aid in dyspepsia. constipation, bill
/ iary arrangements ana weakness or Irritation
/ of the bladder or kidneys. Rheumatic affec-
| tions are also greatly alleyiated by their blood
/ depurating and anti-infiammatory action.

source OF those who are obliged, or think they

Against the hurtful effects OF exposure upon

counteract the effects which a severe wetting
might otherwise produce, and the danger aris

Mark Sternberger never lets his stock
of goods run down. Some retail dealers
only make large purchases in the spring
and fall, and then try to sell remnants
during the balance of the year; but
Mark keeps continually replenishing his
stock, and this is one secreteof his sue
cess as a retail dealer. Amy thing that
his customers want, they can always find
at his big store, on Broadway.

There is a good deal in the selection of
a suitable locality in which to transact
business. Then the retail dealer should
keep full stock of suitable goods, which
he should sell at fair, reasonable price.
He should treat his customers with cour-
tesy and respect.
Oliver S. Miller complies with all these
requirements, and hence he has been
abundantly successful.
