Remarkable Well.

They have a remarkable well at
Salem, this county, about which
nothing has been said in the news
papers thus far, that we have MOTTO
ed. tits located on the farm of C.
j. Pfaff, on the opposite side of the
creek from the village. 1t was bored
for an oil well by J. B. Kiggans,
but instead of striking oil at the
depth of 6S4 feet a strong stream of
mineral water was tapped. This
water GIBBS and flows every hour,
and at intervals of forty-eight hours
the water rises slowly from the
well in body about the size of a
barrel and gradually increases in
height until it extends up into the
air distance of about IS feet. By
close observations, about the time
it reaches its full height, dark
body supposed to be gas can be seen
rising IN the center Of the column
of water, and when this dark body
reaches nearly to the top, the col
umn bursts, scattering water and
spray to a great height and in all
directions. The water is said to pos
sess great medicinal properties and
is used with remarkable success in
the treatmentofkidney complaints.
The neighbors for miles come and
get it by the bottle, jug and barrel
full.-MdrieHa (O) Times.

Ynsrsos,o Resolutions.
NEW YORK, Sept. 8.-The Dem.
ocratio State Committee had full
meeting and adopted the following
unanimously:
Resolved, That the people have
q right to be represented in the Ex.
ecutive Office OF the United States
by the Chief Magistrate of their
own choice. This right Of the peo-
Pile in representative republic Isl
fundamental principle Of self-gov-
ernment, and whether this right
be imperilled, as in 1876, by CON-
spiracy of force and fraud among
office-holders of the party in power,
aiming to nullify the peoples yer.
dict, or, as now, by the bullet of an |
assassin, awakens In every patriot
ic heart not only the respectful
sympathy of freemen with the vic
tim of such atrocity, but also that
patriotic vigilance which is the
cost of maintaining the safeguard
of civil libery.
Resolved, That the members Of
the Democratic State Committee,
at the first meeting since the attack
upon the President of the United
States, take occasion to record
their Indignation and horror at the
infamous deed and to express their
heartfelt sympathy with the dis
tinguished sufferer and his stricken
family in their afflicti0n, with the
earnest hope that the labors Of love
and science for the restoration Of
the Chief Magistrate to health and
the full exercise of the c0pstitu.
tional functions of his office may |
be soon crowned with complete |
success.

The general opinion of medical wri-
ters is to the effect that this standard

that men under an insane delusion
always reason correctly from their
false premises; whereas in truth what

power of drawing conclusions respect

writers on insanity generally contend
for more liberal allowance of the
defence Of insanity than the law

tFairplay (Col.) Funnel


On the sleeper Of an L. F. & w.
train recently traveller noticed an
old, white bearded gentleman trying
to get into linen duster. The young
and spry traveller rushed to his assist
ance, and in helping him with the
garment noticed a good sized whisky
flask protruding from one Of the in
side pockets of his coat. Being of a
waggish nature he appropriated the
bottle, got the coat on the stranger,
and then pulling out the flask, said:
"Will you take drink"
The old man did not recognize the
bottle, and, drawing himself up, re-
marked, rather severely:
mo, sir; | never drink"
SIT won't hurt you insisted the
wag, 1T is the best"
''Young man." said the old gentle
man, intended for all in the car to
hear, IF you persist in drinking whis-
ky, you will be a ruined man at forty
1t is the curse of the land When |
was boy, my mother died, and the
last thing she did was to call me to
her bedside and say: John, swear to
me that you will never touch drop
of liquor"
Here the old man clapped his hand
on his side pocket and found it empty,
and, recognizing the bottle in the
hands Of the other, he continued:
Except, my dear boy, an occasional
5nifter while travelling"
And, reaching for the flask, he
passed it to his lips, amid a howl of
laughter which shook the whole car.

All the folly that is talked about
dancing is not confined to the censur-
ers Of that pastime by any means. A
correspondent of a New York paper,
defending the amusement, says: "The
truth is that dancing-yes, even mod
ern dancing prevails universally
wherever civilization extends. 1t is
enjoyed in all classes Of society where
social life is at all sought after, but as
you descend the scale Of humanity, as
you approach the unsocial life of the
brute creation, dancing is rarely if
eyer seen. To verify the truth of
this assertion we have only to look
for ourselves. Go to the palaces of
the wealthy, to the homes of the lead
ing church members of New York, and
you will find dancing recognized as
one Of the accomplishments of the age,
and very few will be found to say a
word against it. Then go to the dens
of vice and see how little they know
or care about the dancing Of modern
society" This statement displays
strange ignorance of the facts. There
are dens in the metropolis known
specially as dance houses" and the
performance therein vary from jig
dancing by girls connected with the
establishment to waltzing by the visi-
tors. Indeed, dancing bears fully as
important relations to the fast life of
New York as it does to its fashionable
life. As for the ASSERTION that the
amusement is strictly an outcome of
civilization, nothing could be farther
from the truth. The Indians have
dances of all kinds, from the war
dane to the corn dance. The most
barbarous African tribes vie with the
elite of Europe and this country in
devotion to tripping the light fantas-
tie toe. The pastime is as universal as
the habit of drinking liquor and may
be claimed as charac ferris Tic of hui
manity in its most exalted and de-
graded types.

The time is coming when no sus-
pected criminal will be safe. The
courts of Judge Lynch are organizing
throughout the land, and rarely day
passes without news of mob violence
in some part Of the country. The
cause of this is apparent. lie our
courts would mete out to criminals
the full extent Of the law in all cases,
as they should do, the people would
be contented. But, court of law in
this country is beginning to be reg
ular monkey show" Even when
criminal is convicted, notwithstanding
the enormity of the crime, he receives
in most cases the lowest limit of the
statute. And, what brings more dis
satisfaction to the public is, the more
heinous the crime committed the more
determined are the efforts to acquit
the prisoner. Let our judges and ju-
ries deal with criminals as they de-
serve, and we will warrant that the
courts of Judge Lynch will disband
and the rule of mobs be thing of the
past. Until then, look out!

Ira GRAHAM, ESQ, ex-Prosecuting
Attorney of Meigs County, who was
raised in Athens County, says the
reason lynch law was resorted to in
the recent Chris Davis affair was be-
cause the people have good reason to
know that the administration of JUS
tice in that county has in the past
been failure. He cites half dozen
cases Of murder and other crimes
where the authorities either made not
the slightest effort to bring the guilty
parties to justice. or where through
the courts they were allowed to escape
their merited punishment. He thinks
a little judicious hanging will do good
over there,-Pomeroy Telegraph.

The Advance of Common Sense.

All the temperance Legislation in
this country has been Intellectual in
restraining drunkenness, for the sim
pie reason that those who framed the
laws could see no other way of meet
ing the evil than imposing penalties
on the seller. No legislation that
reaches no higher than this will ever
amount to a straw in checking the
evil. The seller is not the sole crimi-
nal. The drinker is the prime, origi-
nal mover, and he sustains the rela-
ton as alder and abettor to the seller.
The State of Indiana is about putting
IN force law which imposes severe
punishment on those who are found
drunk. They are fined for the first
and second offenses, and for the third
are liable to imprisonment and dis
franchisement. The same penalty is
provided for the dealer who sells.
Now this strikes us as being sensible.
1t makes both parties responsible, and
it strikes the fool who calls for the
poison as well as the one who peddles
it. Be patient. People will become
wise Observation-Disclosures Tribune.

Watch Carefully Your Health.

Are your hands and feet cold? Does
your pulse beat irregular? Does your
heart quickly palpitate at the least ex-
ertion, worriment, or nervous excite
ment? Does your face often flush
from rush of blood to the head?
Are you troubled with dyspepsia, in
digestion, or some urinary disorder?
Beware! Death may at any time en-
sue from apoplexy. Do not delay.
Your system needs some true medici-
nal tonic. Nothing is so good as

having a tendency to weaken both
