The wool market has opened at 80 to
80 cts, and sells readily.
The farmers are busily preparing for
harvest. There will be some whsat put
in shock this week; it has headed well.
Although the crop will be short, there
will be enough for the granger and some
to sell.
Joel Walker purchased 4 new self
twine binding reaper for $4,000; he is
one of our enterprising farmers and is
always first to introduce new improve
ments in our township.
J. W. Scott, the snterprising store
keeper of Maynard, and Miss Mary Rob-

new dwelling houses built at Kidd's
mines after harvest.
A number of our young people attend
ed the commencement at New Athens
last week.
The new road petitiOned for up Fall
Run to Pleasant Grove will be surveyed
this Thursday they expect lively time
as there are some most bitter opponents
Mr.. Malon's little girl, who was struck
by the coal train at Kidd's mines, was
not dangerously hurt.
Mr.. w. A. Major, one of Athens col
lege boys, is spending the vacation at
his home near Pleasant Grove.
Our township was startled last Thurs
day evening on hearing that VIM. Still
well, one of Pleasant Groves young men
had deliberately shot himself; he was
living with Edward Arick on Wheeling
creek when the deed was committed; he
lived till Friday evening when death re-
leased him from his suffering. Why life
was no longer dear to him is a mystery
to all-he was always cheerful and obe-
dent, affable and Industrious After
service at Mr.. Arick's Sabbath morning
his remains were taken to the Pleasant
Grove church, where appropriate SER
vices were conducted by the Rev. Gray.
Each member of the Sabbath school, of |
which he was member, placed an Of
ferlng Of evergreen in his grave, beau
tlful floral anchor and wreath was
placed on the coffin, the offerings of the

ALREADY the cry goes up: I'VE should
be glad to see the Democratic party re-
turn to the old-fashioned custom OF
nominating Democrats" The Dayton
Democrat voices the old Democracy, all
over Ohio, when it says: "In order to
have perfect harmony in party, there
should always be perfect justice. The
veterans are the men who ought to be
placed in the lead, and the new recruits
ought to show their respect for
discipline by following them instead of
endeavoring to set them aside"

JUDGE HOADLY was serenaded on
Saturday night by the Duck worth club.
The issues of the campaign were not
discussed. He initiated his Republican
rival who took like course on a SINH
lar occasion short time ago. The
most pointed allusion to himself vas
the acknowledgement that the serenade
was "at once the baptism of himself"
The occasion was a more important one
than was expected when the sprenade
was projected; it was not expected that
the distinguished Judge would at that
time receive the rite of baptism into the
Democratic party, with which he had
recently united. The old line Democra-
cy should have been given notice and
the occasion would have been celebrated
in grand style.

THE war against the trade dollar has
become general throughout the country.
In New York the merchants and trades
men have combined against and refused
to take it except at its coin value. Other
cities have joined in the crusade against
the unfortunate bantling, until honest
countrymen are compelled to follow suit
Possibly the present move against the
trade dollar is to compel the government
to take them up and turn them into the

THE CRACK OF DOOM.
The Island of Java Overwhelmed by a
Volcanic Earthquake.
Cablegram to Chicago Press.

Cablegram to Chicago Press
LONDON, Aug. 2S.-The late adj
vices from Batavia, the capital of Java,
show that the volcanic eruptions in that
island are much more serious than at
first indicated. The disturbance be.
gan on the island of Krakatoa in the
Strait of Sunda, about fifteen miles off
the cost of Java. The deep rumblings
were distinctly audible at Sutallerta
and Batavia, about forty-fve and
twenty-five miles off, respectively.
Little alarm was felt at first, but with
in few hours showers of stones began
to fall at Jogjakesta, Sourabaya and
Samarang. All through the night
showers of red-hot rocks and ashes fell,
making complete darkness in all these
towns. In Batavia there was an &C.
casional fall, and it was difficult to keep
the street lights burning in the Euro
pean quarter. By the next morning
all communications with Anjier was
cut off, all the bridges having been de-
stroyed by the descending rocks and
ashes, and the road rendered impass.
able. ri s
The eruptions began Saturday night.
The next morning the disturbances had
extended beneath the strait, the waters
of which were soon boiling and Kissing.
Even as far away as Madura furious
waves were dashed into mountains of
foam. The rumblings became more
and more distinct, and by noon Maha
Merux and Cunning Gunter, the larg.
est volcanoes in the world, were belch-
ing forth flames. Soon more than a
third of the volcanoes on the island
were in active eruption. About dusk
Cunning Gunter began belching forth
enormous streams of white acid sui
phurous mud and lava. Enormous
fragments of cinder were hurled higi
in the air, and carried death and de

in the sea, and have been causing grea
