The OIL STOVE TRADE.-"The season
for the sale of oil stoves has just begun
dealer said land if we may Judge from lns
years experience we shall have an immenst
trade. The manufacture of oil stoves il
distinctively IN American industry; ii
had its origin and growth here, and has
been perfected here. Practice oil stove,
were first invented about fifteen years ago
but the trade did not amount to anything
until six or seven years ago. About thai
time inventors began 20 overcome the
objections TO them. The combustion OF
the oil was made perfect, so that the
dishgreeable smells were obviated, the
danger from gas explosions was removed
and the consumption of oil was reduced
to minimum. Then the trade began to
spread out. Stove manufacturers noticed
decrease in the summer sales of ranges
and cook stoves, and rightly attributed il
to the oil stoves. Seeing that nothing
could stop the oil stove trade, they all
took it up. Where oil stoves were then
made only by few specialists, they are
now made at nearly every stove factory in
the country. Competition has greatly
improved the article. On the best oil
stoves cne can boil, fry, broi, bake, in
fact do anything that can be done on Il
range, and that without the heating of the
room or the trouble of building coal fire.
When the work is done, the fire is extin
guished and the expense stopped. At the
same time we can heat a room if we want
to. We have sheet iron drums to fit any
style. You would be astonished to see
how quickly one drum on two. burner
stove will heat a room. Here is two
burner stove. 1t costs 81. My wife does
all the cooking for family of four grown
persons with one like it. An average for
three months shows that she used one
quart of oil day 1t would easily burn
two quarts if not managed economically
Any one who will use the fire only when
it is needed can do as well.
You can buy kettle heaters for COLLAR. |
Tin and solder are cheap, but the little
things are not much better than toys |
This two, burner size, with an extension |
top, has three places for cooking. 1t |
costs 50. That's good enough for any
ordinary family. A double stove at $12 |
will run boarding house. The range
style, with nine cooking holes, will do for
any hotel except the largest. They costs
$50. all furnished. We build to order |
others still larger
"We made 40 600 last year. 1t is safe |
10 say that 150,0 900 stoves, large and small,
were made. The export takes carloads. |
They are shipped to every civilized coun-
Try, and to many that are not civilized.
China. Japan, the lndias. South and
Central America all take large invoices"

HAPPY HoURs.-An accurate observer
says: Mankind are always happier for
having been happy SO that if YOU make
them happy now, you make them happy
twenty years hence from the memory of it.
A childhood passed with a mixture of
rational indulgence, under fond and wise
parents, diffuses over the whole life a
feeling of calm pleasure. and in extreme
old age in the very last remembrance
which time can erase from the mind of
man.
No enjoyment, however inconsiderable,
is confined to the present moment. A man
is the happier for life for having made an
agreeable tour, or lived any length of
time with pleasant people, or lived any
considerable interval of innocent pleasure.
which contributes to render men so mat
tentive to all scenes before them, and
carries them back to world that is passed
and to scenes which are never to be renew
ed again.-Dickens.

Every cook knows how lorg a time it
takes, when it can least be spared. to look
over one or two quarts OF beans. An
ingenious housewife, who is always irving
to save time, says: "Put the beans in a
colander, and all the fine dirt will be
shaken out, and the beans that are specked
can be picked out with ease, and in very
short time.

In doing each day that goes by
Some little good, not in dreaming
OF great things to do by y.and-by.

And spite of the fancies of youth,
There is nothing 80 kindly as kindness,
And nothing 80 royal as truth.

The Chillicothe Advertiser gives
the following good advice to the
of Ohio:
If the Democracy manage affairs
properly Ohio can be carried this
tall. At present the State is Demo
cratic and if we desire it to remain
SO we must not engage in any bick-
ering mol internecine wrangling.-
Certain elements in the party may
attempt to make q fight in the con
vention or during the campaign op
the Senatorial question. That should
have nothing to do with the cam
1t is the Republican party
we are to fight and if we succeed in
defeating their State ticket and elect
ing a Democratic Legislature, the
duty of electing a United States SEN
ator can be easily performed. AT
present it is q matter of small con-
sequence whether Senator Pendleton
shall be re. elected. What we want
is to secure a majority in the Legis-
and then the question of Mr..
Pendleton's successor can be settled
without any difficulty.
Let the Democratic party adopt
an out-spoken, fearless platform,
ringing in its principles; nominate
strong ticket, work tremendously
for success and there will be no
doubt of obtaining a splendid vic
tory.

Partition Fences.

The following law relating TO parti-
ton fences was passed by the last
Legislature:

the revised statutes of Ohio.
SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the
General Assembly of the State of
Ohio. That section four thousand

Ter not less than ten days written 20
tice to all parties interested in the
title or possession of the premises, or
the construction OF repair ofthe fence
proceed TO view the fence, or premises
where the fence is to be built, and as
sign, i'll writing, to each party his
equal share thereof, to be by him con-
structed or kept in repair SO as to be

PILES.

PILES are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some at
lection of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. AT times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are psescnt, as f1atulency, I'M
e~asiness of the stomach, etc. A mois-
ture, like p~erspiration, producing a
very disagreeable itching, particular
ly at night after getting warm in bed,
is a very common attendant. Blind,
Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at
oAce to the application of DIR. Bosan-
kos Pile Remedy, which acts directly
upon the parts affected absorbing the
Tumors, allaying the intense itching,
and effecting a permanent cure, where
all other remedies have failed. Do

tenn produces permanent disability,

Newark

Another flaw in the Scott law has
been discovered at Cambridge, Ohio.
At a temperance meeting held in that
town, Colonel Taylor, Republican
Congressman elect, made q speech in
which he said he had ''doubts as to
the constitutionality ofthe Scott law"
He also said that "the McConnellsville
ordinance provision only permitted
Councils to relegate ale and beer to
the crossroads, while whisky could
be sold by the drink in the most pub
lie houses in town." How will this
development suit the temperance peo-
pie who have been putting 80 much
faith in the Scott law? Instead of
being what it pretended-a temper
ance reform measure-it is becoming
more and more apparent to all classes
of citizens, as its practical operations
are seen, that the law is simply a po-
litical scheme of certain Republican
politicians to placate the temperance
element in the party and at the same
time win over all the saloon keepers
who possess the wealth to pay the
tax.

The New York San says it is now
believed that the surplus of the Post
Office; Department for the year end
ing June 80 will be three million
dollars, or almost double that of the
last fiscal year. Should this prove
true, and the steady increase of mail
business go on, it is highly probable
that the experiment of two cent let
ter postage will indicate itself by a
freedom from department deficit du-
ring the very first year of its intro
duction. In that case, i. will be less
difficult to persuade Congress to risk
one cent postage than it was to in
duce it to reduce the rate from three
cents to two.

Our Railroad.

Some of our friends are nervous
over the delay of the c. V. W. & NJ.
R. r. Company, in the location Of
said road south of Greenville, and on
that account some of them express
the fear that the Road will not be
finished any further south than
Greenville. To all of those we say
nerve up, for the road must be COM
pleted to Cincinnati. That is one of
the fxations of the Road; in fact the
terminus south. How it will run
through, or pass Greenville, is not
yet fully known. We are as sanguine
as ever that the Road must finally
pass on the West side of Greenville
near the gas factory, thence on the
west side of town to the Panhandle,
thence up the prairie touching Jeff
erson, thence along the enormous
gravel hills of DeCamp's, Leases
and Hartman's 4. e., "The Hills of
Judea." Then on the most feasible
and profitable route to Cincinnati.

The census of 1880 shows that
there are 4,2O4,362 adults in this
country who a not read. From
statistics of wages it is ascertained
that where free common schools have
become permanent they add fifty per
cent. to the productive power of Ia
Dor; that academic education adds
one hundred per cent, and that col
legiate adds two to three hundred
per cent. to the annual productive
capacity of those who receive the
education. Now, putting the labor
of each adult in the country at 500
per year, and statistics show it above
that sum, the annual loss to the
country caused by allowing 1904
1862 persons to grow up in ignorance
amounts to $210, 00O, 900, a sum more
than twice as large as all the money,
public and private, spent for educa-
ton annually in this country.

The New York EUening Post, a
and influential Republican
paper, says: "The Republican lead

The people have begun to become
tired of the Republican party, as it

tired of its civil service talk. while
carrying on the scandal of political
assessments; tired Of its constant
plea that an old set of political trick
sters must be kept in power at the
North TO secure freedom to the ballot
at the South, and that disgust the
people expressed at the ballot box
last fall"

1t will be borne in mind, remarks
the Cleveland Plain Dealer, that the
two chief witnesses to sustain the
electoral crime of 1876 in Louisiana
were James E. Anderson and Eliza
Pinkston. 1t was upon the perjured
testimony of those two persons
mainly that the fraud fixed up by
John Sherman, Stanley Matthews,
Zach. Chandler and the other politi-
cal burglars, rested. Anderson a
short time ago was killed in a drunk
en- brawl in a little mining town out
West, Pinkston has just died a con-
vict in a Mississippi work house and
was buried in a pauper's grave. So
Justice travels slow but sure. The
miserable instruments in the perpe-
.tration ofthat monstrous crime have
already been overtaken. 1t is only
q question of time when retribution
will come upon the principals in that
dark transaction.

The quarrel among the colored
men, as to the holding of a National
Convention at Washington, has not
ended and is likely to result in a
permanent split. The opponents of
the Convention characterize it as an

opposing it, as they do not want any
political embarrassments to grow out
of it.
