REMARKABLE BIRTH-FIvE GILL.
DREN AT ONCE.-The most remarkable
birth ever known in the history of ac-
condiments occurred at or near Sales
Vile, Ohio, on last Monday night. Mrs.
Mccormick gave birth to five healthy
children four boys and one girl. The
medical works have but few instances
of such wonderful birth, and when they
do occur the children have scarcely
been known to live. In this case the
mother and children in the common
language on such occasions doing
WE'LL" The community there is eXcit-

all the country around about, and his
fame will spread on the wings OF the
newspapers from one end Of the country
to the other. His home is already an
object Of pilgrimage for all the old
women Of the region.
Two births each Of four children have
occurred within the last fifteen years
near this region, but this out does all
recorded occurrences perhaps in the
United States.

This Sarsaparilla is combination of
vegetable alternatives - Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
eficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
It's ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to b. harmless even to children, it is
still so efectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun-
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence IF the superiority of this Sar-
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superb
ority to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

Demand Tor Nseai Abroad.

Without war, it is probable there will
be good demand for wheat-the CROP
there being small. With war there IS
no telling to what figures it would rise.
Mr.. Jennings, the London correspon-
dent of the New York Heard, writes
under date Of JuneS
This year, | understand, you will
have very fine harvest. can only
say that it will be wanted in Europe.
Russia has not grown much morc;grain
than she wants, and the yield here will
be comparatively small. Europe must
90 across the Atlantic for what she
needs to make up her deficient supply
of food. And then recollect that it /,
not for grain only that England now
comes with money in her hand to Unit
ed States ports. The sale of American
beef is simply enormous cons .dcnng
that even when | lett New York in
1876 the trade was almost, if not quite.
unknown. And now we pay something
like 500, 000,000 4 year for American
beef, and the business is constantly i'll
creasing. So that for the staff OF life.
and large proportion Of the meat
consumed, this country must now de-
pend very greatly on the United States.
These are the faets-drawn from them
what conclusion you will. There Is
one conclusion which | should be dis
posed to draw, namely, that this state
OF affairs must inevitably restore your
long lost prosperity. 1t is an i'll wind
that blows no one any good. Foreign
capital must necessarily pour into the
country, making up in large measure
for the losses Of the last few years, and
infusingn new life and energy into all
departments of trade. This is rs GER

DR.. Todd and his wife, of Bethany,
Pa, were separated by divorce. The
decree awarded the custody Of their
little boy to the mother, and she took
him to her new home in Iowa. The
doctor kidnapped the child and carried
him back to Bethany. The mother
followed, got possession Of the boy
again, and started off with him. The
doctor gathered a party and went in
pursuit. The furgitives were found
hiding in haystack, which the pur-

Office Of

Manufacturers Of Pure Prepared Paints
and White Lead.
II buying white Lead, most persons insist upon
having Strictly Pure article, aud will use no
other, however much the difference in prise may
he while in buying prepared or ready mixed paint
the PRICE is all thBt seems to be considered.
We sell Strictly Pure hite Lead, and We also
sell brand called White Lead at l-2 c. per h.
The majority Of people using paint would make no
hesitaucy IN deciding their preference for the
Strictly Pure White Lead, but seem to think that
all ready mixed paints must be of the same quail
ity: vet there is more difference between the BEST
and the POOREST than there is between strictly
pure White Lead and the commonest article put
up under that name; because, in reducing paints
to proper consistency for use, cheap or adulter-
ated oil with benzine is often used instead OF
pure linseed oil and turpen.ne. The price Of our
Prepared Paint can no more be governed by that
asked for inferior goods, than the price Of strictly
pure White Lead can be, by the price asked for an
adulterated article; and GUARANTEE our Pre-
pared Paint to be from IS 10 IS per. cent cheaper
than the best White Lead and linseed Oil. II
lOwer-priced paint than ours Is wanted, the ad
ditiOn of from to 2 quarts Of linsssd oil to
gallon Of our Prepared Paint will lessen to cost
from 20 to 40 cents per gallon, and we guarantee
that even when so reduced the paint will be SUI
perior to any other brand Of mix paint in the
market.
The addition of moderate quantity Of pure
Linseed Oil to our Paint WILL prove Of decided adj
vantage to the consumer, because it decreases the
cost Of the Paint and does 80 without njuriDg the

John Reilly, of New York, and John
King, of Troy, fought for prize OF
1900 in Madison Street Hall, New
York, Saturday night. There were
sixteen pounds, the two last being the
sevsrest. Reilly was the favorite and
drew the first blood, in the fourth round,
but in the fifteenth round he broke his
right wrist. In the sixteenth round,
however, he delivered some singing
left-handers, but in five minutes he was
badly used up, and Reilly's friends threw
up the sponge, and King, who had been
badly punished about the head and face,
was declared the winner. The men
wore hard gloves, and the Marquis of
Queensbury's rules were observed.

ALAMEDA ELECTIoN.-At the special
election in Alameda county, on Tuesday
Jan. I'D, j. w. Bones, the Working
mems candidate was elected to fill the va
cancy occasoned by the death of Nathan
Porter. The vote stood as follows
Crane, r., 2,O3S; Lamar, d., 572; Bones,
W., 2730 giving the Workingmen's
candidate a clear majority over both his
opponents Of 100, and 632 more than the
Republican candidate. At the Septem-
Der election the Republican nominee had
3,7l2: Democrat, (same candidate as this
time) 3,255 and the Workingman only
llS. The total vote in September was
7,lls, while at the special election it was
only 4,340, showing that but little more
than half the voters went to the polls.-
The Republican candidate on this ooca-
sion has received about his proportion Of
the votes polled, while the Democrats
seem to have been abandoned their man
and gone for Bones, who, we have seen
classed as a Republican.
Although the Workingmen have come
out of this, their first political fight, vcto-
rious, time alone can tell the value of
their victory. We are Of those who can
not believe that the interests of the labor
ing classes will be benefited by an ind4-

ing political parties and throw their weight
which is by no means inconsiderable-
in favor Of the candidates and measures

antagonlstic, they could in most cases
