TREASURES OF STATE

For twenty-five years the Republicans
of Perry county have bravely and un-
flinchingly upheld the Republican BAN
ner, Through good and evil report, p and
frequently under most discoupaging cir
cumstances. And though our county has
had, and yet has, within her limits, and
in the Republican ranks, many worthy
men,-men eminently qualified for high
official pOsitiOn.-yet no one of her sons
has ever been honored with a State nomi-
nation, for the reason, perhaps, that no
nomination has ever been sought.
For these and other good reasons, the
friends of Smith L. johnson, Of this place,
will present his name to the Republican
State Convention as aeandfdate for Treas
urer of State, and they will make that
presentation confidently expecting his
nomination.
Not only here but throughout the
greater portion of southern and central
Ohio, Mr.. johnson is known rs first

business man-in all things "honest, cap
able and faithful From 1872 until a
few months ago he filed the position of
cashier of the Perry County Bank for
merly the First National Bank Of New
lexington to the satisfaction of his en-
ployers and the patrons of the institution,
aud when he retired he carried with him
the confidence and good will of his for
nIer associates.
Mr. johnson is in the prime of life, OF
irreprachable moral character, and
steady habits, is now and ever has been, an
ardent and earnest Republican,; and
moreover, is widely known as splendid
organizer, as wen as one of the most eff.

forire-election to the gubernatorial chair
of Ohio. True, he did not get as many
votes by several thousands, nearly two

nearly four years ago; but, has he not
been adding to his strength and popular

THE ACTION OF La CO PI-A.
La-cu-pi-a, taken internally, is digested

foreign and morbid matter, and brings it

pelling the foreign and destructive ele-

TAKE AND LIu "a.


In one of the New England States lives
a family, which in early days bore very
humble part in life. But, as time ad-
vanced fortune favored, until earthly
blessings seemed complete. Though for
the present the name is untold, yet its
influence to do good is the same, and 1t
gives to the4worid wealth and health.
One member of this family was lady
in the early flush of womanhoOd. with
pure, sweet and tender face, with dark,
glowing eyes, with coral-tinted lips, with
ROSY cheeks and amber curls. She was as
graceful as a gazelle, as light-hearted as
bird, and as spirited as an untamed ante
lope.
But as the frost destroys the fairest
flower, so does disease the most perfect
woman. Disease. with its greatest malice,
| slipped at her life and riOted for her de-
struction; and she, who was so young, so
beautiful, and so full of promise, was
dragged from natures most royal throne
and Frustrated, helpless and dying be-
| fore the king of terrors, who baffied all
| skill. Physicians turned away with no
encouraging word, aud from their eyes
| were read these thoughts: ''She soon
i must die.1 But one morning, as death
seemed to be folding her in his icy en-
1 brace. and the golden sun was striving
with the purest light to make the last of
earth appear most beautiful, Ada, slowly
opening her eyes, family aud almost
voicelessly said 10 her brother: ''ChaIlie,
I am going to live. Three nights in sue
cession have dreamed thatover yonder,
near che banks, among the trees, grows
an herb which will destroy this disease
and give me back again myself. l never

the danger of beiEg moved, and that il
was almost madness for her TO think o1
riding. But he knew that in that room
all efforts to restore her had been in vain
and that she was dying there. Her earn
estness filled him with the hope that by
granting her request she might live; anc
. though death seemed near, yet they
went. Passing along the bank of thu
+ stream, among the trees, suddenly witt
one wild cry of joy, she exclaimed
0 | 'sThere Therel Charlie, there is the Lc

Senator Krimmel has Introduced bill

bad one, and we so sad at the time; but
rs the majority in the Legislasrre were
.'reorganizing' the public institutions
more for the purpose of making party
patronage than the good ofthe State, it was
passed under the pressure of party ne
cessity. The attempt at repeal is con-
fession that the thing has not worked as
well as it was supposed, and we are glad
to see that at least one Democrat has the
nerve to admit the fact. The Penitentia-
'rY will be more successfully conducted
it the managers have the right to select
the best men they can find, regardless of
county lines. Capacity, and not politics.
should be the test. The experience of
the past year has taught lesson which
should not be forgotten. Mr.. Krimmel's
bill should pass as soon as practcabl 1t
will materially aid the new Warden in
reorganizing the Penitentiary.-C Columbus
