ing lightning rod men and the worth
lessness of lightning rods in general.
This reminds us of q circumstance
that occurred in the northwest part
Of this county some years ago. A
lightning rod agent was travelling
through that part of the county and
among others ran across laossback
democrat, good deal after the style
of Daddy Ives. He prevailed on this
old mossback to have lightning rod
attached to his one story cabin, as il
would not cost much. The rod was
duly put up and . note given for it,
payable after hog killing time. 1t
was summer time when the rod was
put up. The mossback had good
Watchdog, but he was addicted to
sheep killing and had to be tied up Of
nights. 1t struck the old mossback
that the lightning rod was a good
place to tie the dog; SO he hitched
him to it with trace chain. For q
time it worked like charm, and the
old man was delighted, but in an UNI
lucky hour one night, there came up
storm, and the lightning and thun-
der was terrific, but NO harm came to
that happy home, for was it not pro-
tected by lightning rod? In the
morning old mossback went out to
see how things looked, and at the foot
Of that rod a bushel of dirt was SCOOP
ed out and "bolt from heaven" had
killed that dog, as the granger said,
"deader nor the ID" He immedi-
ately rushed down to Ottumwa and
demanded pay for his dog, and the
surrender Of his note on the ground
that the "rod was no account. Didn't
the agent warrant il to keep of light
ning--and here il had killed Bose the
first time storm came? 2"

Mr.. Editor lis it right for our
fancy policeman to set in the stores
or shops and permit the boys to snow
ball people? The eight or ten far
mers in town yesterday were terribly
pelted while car town officer was par
ing his nails in comfortable shop.
l think the Mayor and Council should
put an end to such nuisance. But
even Councilman was seen yesterday
enjoying the pursuit and pelting of a
drunken man by lot of bad boys.
He even told the boys to 60 after and
SNOWFALL him. Nice work for town

Great Invention ! Just Out l.
Something New
Chenq Wengs Starch Polish and
Chinese Washing Blue.

For putting on the same gloss and
hard pearl finish to Shirts, Collars, &C.,
as when bought new, at cost Of one
cent per week. 1t beats the world
With greenemigrant servant we can
polish linen equal to any Laundry in
America. 1t causes the iron to run
smoothly, and prevents rust 1t
makes an old shirt look new. 1t gives
the linen such a smooth, glossy finish,
that dust and dirt will not stick
to it. A woman can do her ironing
in one half the time, and the clothes
smell sweet and fresh.
Every box of the Cheng Weng con-
tains package of Chinese Washing
Blue from which large 8-ounce Bot
tie Of Liquid Bluing can be made in
one minute without cost if necessary
this can be demonstrated at any time
and it will be seen how quickly the
Blueing is made from the powder, con-
vincing any person that they are ac-
tually getting the price of the Box in
Blusing alone, besides having large
box of the Cheng Weng that will last
family many months.
1t is the most economical article
that can be used, costing only about
one cent to do the ironing of a large
family. Warranted not to injure
the clothes, but will make them last
much longer, because they do not have
to go through the wearing out process
of washing and starching SO often. 1t
gives the linen such smooth, glossy
surface, that the dust and dirt will
not adhere to it, 50 that it will keep
clean much longer. Even would it
keep clean no longer the beautiful
gloss finish which is impaired is sufii-
cient inducement to bring it into gen
eral use. The Polish is packed in
slide box, containing "a Lozenges
which will last an ordinary family six
months.
The Cheng Weng Chinese Washing
Blue from Hong Kong is without any
doubt the best in the world. 1t new
er settles when in water, and contains
ten times the amount Of blueing prop
erty of ordinary bottle blueing.
Give it one trial and you will al
ways use it,
Each box contains 80 cents worth of
polish which is sold at half price
thirty cents per box.
Beware Of travelling swindlers
who will offer you a bogus article for
25 to IS cents per box and thus steal
your money,
Mr.. c. Differ is the agent for this
County who sells the only genuine
article. HEALTH & HOME.

Congratulations.

Ar. Editor Permit me, through
your columns, to congratulate the
miners of this region upon their no
BILE and manly bearing during the
dead lock, and also for the liberal
and generous concessions they have
made in order that our coal trade
might again assume its wonted activi-
ty. It's to be hoped that their liberal
concession of % per cent. from their
former wages will be fully recognized
by the merchants and traders through
out our region by corresponding re-
duction in their various lines, and
manifestation of liberality toward
them in all their dealings.
The companies, too, are entitled to
the congratulations of the region for
their prompt recognition Of the miners
generosity by opening up their mines
as fast as is possible for them to do
under the circumstances, and thereby
giving them work at the reduced rates
without unnecessary delay.
With the kind feelings that appar-
emily exist between the operators and
the miners we can reasonably look for
a busy and prosperous season to all.

A CORRESPONDENT takes occasion to
applaud both the miners and compan-
les for the happy issue Of the wages
difference. There is no doubt but
that the settlement of the vexed ques-
ton is subject for common congrat-
ulation, though we may regret that
the miners were unable to carry their
point. Had it been a matter of right
they would have succeeded, but it
was made one of might, and the weak
had to submit. Between the upper
milestone of poaUer, and the neither
milestone OF destitution, the miner
would have been ground to powder.
Hence, he had to stand from under;
he had to accept the dangers of the
nine at less than his price, rather
than risk the perils of idleness. He
chose the lesser evil, and, to-day, the
region from one end to the other re-
joices over a settlement effected by
his lost sacrifice.

THE following insane paragraph ap-
peared in one of our editorials last
week:
The recent decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States in the granger
cases sets at rest several points mooted by
railroad and other corporations. The most
dangerous of these was whether the people
should govern the railroads, or the rail
roads govern the people. In other words,
whether the management of the legislature,
or whether the management of the legsla-
ture reposes in the railroad companies.
The last sentence should read:
In other words, whether the over
sight Of the railroads rests in the legis-
lature, or whether the management Of
the legislature reposes in the railroad
companies.

ONE item of the cost of mining coal,
that does not appear to enter into any
of the calculations that are made, is
the loss of life and limb among the
employees; the local papers furnish
lists every week, that in the aggre-
gate, are very large for the force en-
ployed and quantity produced.
