A Solid Rubber Boot.

The ''95 per cent. Boots" advertised
elsewhere in our columns, are high priced
goods, but they meet want in the COM
munity, for people are tired of wasting
money on cheap adulterations of Rubber
Boots. The "95" boots are virtually three
pairs of boots in one. All non-wearing
material is excluded, all weak parts
strengthened, and various improvements
added. In every district there is large
number of sensible people, who are willing
to pay q fair price for a good article, and
the "95" per cent. boot is made for JUS
this class. Call and examine these superi

The Grand Jury found bill last week
against Henry hartman for burning a
house on Reuben Kings farm. The house
was built by John Brunner for shoema-
ker shop but was not finished and it be-
ing too cold for comfort he left the bull
ding with the intention of completing it
in the spring and opening up again. The
building was set fire one night and burned.
Suspicion fell at once on several persons
and Mr.. King offered reward for the con.
viction OF the guilty parties. Marshal
Brooks of Newark, took the case In hand,
and arrested man by the name of Swine
heart on suspicion, but as nothing could be
proved against him, he was released. A
short time age detective came here, pro-
cured q few shoemaker's tools and an
apron and went to Zartman's house, repre-
sentihg himself to be tramp shoemaker,
and that his feas were very sore and that
he would like for BIN to keep him coup
le of days. To this, hartman agreed, and
it is claimed divulged the whole affair
concerning the burning Of the house, which
evidence indicted him before the grand
jury. Sheriff Martin arrested him last
Friday and took him to New Lexington.
Henry hartman is about sixty years old,
and has been considered quiet, inoffen-
sive man, and it may be that he can prove
himself innocent Of the charge, but if he is
guilty, then he should receive the severest
penalty the Law can infict, and which will
have good effect on others who are
contemplating such villainous outrages =
| No mercy should be shown the heartless
wretch who would put the torch 70 his
neighbor's property.

made upon honor, and will outlast any
three pairs of other rubber boots. The
manufacturers warrant them for three
months, the date of the selling of each pair
being punched in the top Of the leg. The
heel Of these boots is protected with an
iron guard. There are three soles, ali
