HON. LEWIS D. CAMPBELL died some
ten days ago. Some years ago he fig
ured largely in Ohio politics. He
never had any political stability.
When knownothingism was rampant
in this country he was a knownothing;
then he was a Republican; then. in
1860, he was again a knownothing,
supporting the Bell and Everett ticket;
then he again became Republican,
and after that he settled down as a
regular Democrat. He was a man OF
some ability, but his overmastering
selfconceit rendered him disagreeable,
and almost ridiculous.

Hon. ]. T. UPDEeRAFF, member Of
Congress for the 18th, or Steubenville
district, died last week. Some years
ago, when the Democrats were oppos-
ing the enactment Of a law to permit
the soldiers to vote at the Soldiers
Home, at Dayton, we heard DIR. Up
degraff make an eloquent and power
full speech in the Ohio Senate, in favor
Of the soldiers voting. He made a
political speech at this place some
years ago. He was a fine orator, and
a sound Republican.

An Indispensable Instl ument.

The value of an article is almost
always indicated by its price, and for
years the people were content to pay
$500 for genuine Livermore Stylo-
graphic Pen, and the same pens are
yet doing good service. The success
Of these pens led unscrupulous persons
to get up inferior limitations, which
they offered at such low prices that
many persons not understanding the
difference, were induced to buy them.
The Livermore Company therefore,
cut down the price Of their short plain
Pens to 50 90, and short gold mounted
to $3.50 each, to give everybody a
chance to have the best article Of the
kind. You can buy them for that
money by remitting the amount to
LOUIS E. DUNLAP, Manager Stylo-
graphic Pen Co., 900 Washington
Street, Boston; the pen together with
a package of superior ink will be sent
by return mail, and the money will be
at once refunded if they do not prove
to be perfect and satisfactory in every
respect. There is nothing more ap-
propriate than Stylograph, as gift
to lady or gentleman. The Stylo-
graphic Pen Co., who manufacture
the Livermore Pen, is the largest con-
cern of the kind in the world, with
branches at New York, Chicago, and
London, Eng. The Livermore Stylo-
graphic Pen is pencil which writes
ink, never needs sharpening and never
wears out, and has been adopted by
over 100000 knights Of the quill in
this country and abroad. Any one
who has learned to use Livermore
Pen will not be persuaded to do with
out it, and any one who has not
learned to use one should get one at
once.

Parable of the Shepherds Dog.


And the stalwart spake a parable
unto the half breed, and said: The
political situation is like unto shep-
herd who lived where hungry wolves
were plenty; SO he got dog, to aid
him in keeping the wolves from the
sheep. The dog lad keen eyes, stout
jaw, clean, white, sharp teeth, a stout
neck, a large backbone, running out
to long, bushy tail The wolves
wanted the shepherd, and the shep-
herds dog, to let them guard the
sheep, declaring that they were better
friends to the sheep than was the dog;
but the dog always kept his head
towards the wolves, and grinned and
showed his teeth, when the wolves
scampered back into the bushes.
After time disease attacked the
dogs tail, and about two and half
inches Of the end of the tail became
covered with sores, and scabs, and
mango. In the long hair were lice,
and Aeas, and ticks, and bed bugs.
This diseased portion of the tail joined
in with the wolves, and declared that
the wolves must have charge Of the
flock. The dog had been in the habit
of wagging the tail; now the tail, or
the diseased portion of it, declared
that the entire dog must be wagged
or controlled by the scabby, rotten
end of the tail. Such was the annoy
ance caused by the diseased end Of the
tail that the dog was pulled around. in
his efforts to snap at the parasites on
the end Of the tail, and thus the dogs
head was turned away from the
wolves, and the rotten tail was pre-
sented towards them, and Of course ths
whole gang Of wolves rushed upon the
sheep and devoured them.
And the half breed said unto the
stalwart, declare unto me the parable
Of the shepherds dog. And the stal.
wart showed the half breed the fol
lowing election returns from the STATE
Of Pennsylvania:
1.-THE official returns from all thu
counties in the State show the follow
ing results: Governor-Pattison, Dem
ocrat, 355, ,791; Beaver, Republican
315, $50; Stewart, Independent Re
publican, 3,743; Armstrong, Green
back Labor, 1896; Petit, Prohibi
ZIONIST, 5,196; scattering, so; Patti
sons plurality, 40,202."
But again the half breed said: De
clare unto me the parable Of the shep
herds dog. And the stalwart said
Oh stupid, and dull of apprehension
why can you not understand? Th
shepherd is Uncle Sam; the sheep ar
the people; the wolves are the Dem
ocrats; the dog is the Republican par
ty; the scabby tail is the half bree'
gang; the bed bugs, ticks, feas an
; lice are the side shows, such as Pro
hibitionists, greenback labor and scat
tering factions.

Sudden and Violent.

The change from the summer to the
fall season is so sudden and violent here
in the West that few can get through
the winter months without having a
cough or cold of more or less severity
fastened upon them. The seeds Of
that dread disease consumption are
usually sown in one of these much
dreaded months. Browns Expector-
ant is a sure cure for the most violent
coughs and colds, and will arrest con-
sumption if taken in time.

In theatre in Cincinnati on Thanksgiving
Day play was going on in which Frank Ivers
Frayne was to shoot an apple from the head of
beautiful young actress named Won Behren,
with rifle. The gun used wasa Stevens breech-
loader, and the actor stood with his back to the
lady, and sighted in a small mirror attached to
the stock of the gun. But just as he pulled the
trigger the spring which closed the "brealS" of
the gun became detached, the muzzle dropped,
and the bullet went crashing through the lady Is

of william Morgan, supposed by many people
to have been murdered by Masons, for exposing
certain secret workings of that order. Mr.. Weed
labored to prove that Morgan was, beyond any
doubt, spirited away and killed by Masons, and
recently made death h-bed statement reviewing
some of the points gone over by him in former
published statements, relative to Morgan and
his fate. This last statement has caused quite a
sensation, among both Masons and Anti
MAsons, but 1t throws no additional light upon
the fate of Morgan, and it is not in good taste
for members of the order-as did an officer OF
the order recently, in Cincinnati-to denounce
Mr.. Weed as a liar and a perjurer, now that he
is dead-a thing that was not publicly done
while the old man lived. All that the world
knows is that Morgan published his book-and
disappeared.

Music Hall.

Thomas M. Jones is one Of those
men described in the Scriptures.
When he goes to build a house he
counts the cost. He owns large
amount Of property, and had money
enough to put up such building as
he first planned-two business rooms,
20 by S7a feet each, and Hall 40 by
974 in the second story. Then the
people, who have been so anxious for
years for a Hall, began to murmur,
and say the Hall must be larger. Mr..
Jones called the people Of the town
together, and told them that if he in
creased the building one third in size,
he might need soae aid, and if he
should need aid he wanted the people
to secure him the loan Of $1,000 for
five years, at 6 per cent. In few
minutes some twenty-five substantial
men guaranteed him the money.
Now Mr.. Jones can complete the
building, and says he will have it done
just as soon as money can accomplish
it. He says the people Of the town
must still further aid him to get the
painting and scenery done inside.
Some have suggested fair, something
similar to- that held by the Catholics,
by which they raised some $4,000 to
complete their church and parsonage.
Some have suggested that the Litera-
ry Association get up grand enter
Misunderstanding in the nature OF
an Eisteddfod. and use the proceeds
in the inside finish and decoration OF
the Hall.
Negotiations are in progress to get
a first class lecturer to come as soon
as the hall shall have been finished
Henry Ward Beecher will come fol
$3.50. There are only four men from
which we would select lecturer as
first class; these are Beecher, Tai
mage, Rev. Joseph Cook, and Judge
Tourgee, the celebrated author Of
