B0ston.-There continues to be sales
of bituminous coal on this market at
very low figures. This is occasioned
by the crowding of more coal to this
port on contracts than can be readily
placed, but there is less difficulty
from this source than there has been
The wharves are full, ana Boston's
coal-discharging capacity is taxed to
its utmost. 1t is hardly necessary
to say that this crowding is done on
coal sold at q delivered price.
Parties who bought f. O. b. are not
crowded to receive coal. The Cum
berland production is curtailed ma
terially by the recent floods, but
there is sufficiency for the market
at unchanged low figures. The mills
are doing SO little that no one is snx-
ious for coal.-Engineering and

Elder W. o. Tomson preached his fare
well sermon to a large congregation, at
Christian Church, on last Sunday night.
After the sermon-which was an excel
lent discourse-Elder Tomson talked for
a few moments with regard to his labors
in this charge, expressing regret that he
had not been able to give his entire time
to this charge, and urging the congrega-
ton to secure the services of good man
who could remain with them, and give
his entire time to the work. He urged
the Church to renewed effort in working
for the Master, and declared himself
more jealous in Christian work than ever
before After the close of his remarks,
the congregation sang "The Sweet By
and By" and were dismissed with the
benediction, after which there was a sad
taking leave of the young pastor. Elder
Tomson is good man, and we are sorry
to announce his departure. He requests
us to say Good By" through the Stan
dard, to all his friends. He left for his
home in Belmont County, on Monday.

A Dose FROM The JAR
TWO LITTLE BOYS STUDYING
CHEMISTRY.

One day last week DR.. Crumit threw
out some empty medicine bottles, and two
little boys, Willie Doss, son of John L.
Doss, and Herbie Evens, son of j. M. Ev-
ems, got hold of some of them, and in
playing with them drained out few re-
naming drops of the contents, and tasted
them. 1t is generally thought that too
much fooling with a bottle will make one
tight-but it had just the opposite effect
upon these boys. 1t is not known what
Willie tasted, but it was croton oil that
Herbie tasted. Both were taken violent
ly sick, but Herbie recovered after a live
ly experience of a few hours. Charlie
has had more serious time of it.
This will probably be lasting lesson
to the boys: the lesson that bottle is
dangerous at all times. As the boy said
of the gun, sit is dangerous without any
thing but the ramrod, for my daddy has
badly hurt me with the ramrod," so a bot
tie is dangerous, even if empty, and boys
should make it rule of life to shun bot
ties and tumblers, for some of them-even
when handed over gilded counters-con-
tain more injurious stuff than croton

DEATHINH His BYE!
BILL WISECUP'S REVOLVER !
BRANscoMB's NARROW ESCAPE.

| On last Wednesday q young man named
Faulkner was arrested at the instance of
Earl Branscomb, on a charge of carrying
concealed weapons. Faulkner has friend
named William Wisecup, who came along
to attend his trial. The parties reside in
the neighborhood of Acorn shaft, Faulk-
ner could not give bail before the Mayor,
and was sent to Jail. Wisecup was asked
by the Marshal, at the trial, if he did not
have revolver. Without replying, he
mechanically threw his hand toward his
hip pocket, when Officer Tom Griffiths
reached into the mans pocket and drew
out a revolver.
On Thursday Wisecup was tried before
the Mayor, having gone to Jail the day
before, and quite a number of witnesses
were heard-amo them Detective Tom
Henderson. The testimony introduced
showed that Earl Branscomb had said
that eff he caught that Bill Wisecup with
his wife, by - he'd kill him." The evil
dence did not show that defendant had
been with Mrs. Branscomb, but it seemed
that Earl's threats were based upon idle
Branscomb was present at the trial, ac
companied by several lady friends. She
is neatly-dressed, handsome little wo-
man, a daughter of the late George Stiff
f1er. 1t seems sad that the husband
should allow his private quarrels to drag
his wife before the public under such cir
cumstances.
Wisecup claimed that he had been
lodging Branscomb, and had left good
job or two on account of his fear of bodi-
ly harm, hence he carried revolver; but
he admitted to the Court that the last
time he talked with Earl, the latter SEEM
ed on friendly terms.
The Court concluded that Wisecup
was in no immediate danger from Brans-
comb, and there was no excuse for his
carrying revolver. Wisecup was there
fore fined 81 and costs-the costs amount
ing to about $19.

A NEW NAME! !!
NASBY NEW NAME FOR SALOON
SLOPS.

The Toledo Blade has given to Lager
Beer the name of "Body-Rot" And this
is certainly, if not very elegant, very
appropriate name. Show us a man who
has been swilling beer for many years,
and we'll show you a man who is in a
great measure, rotten. Of course many an
old topper will denounce this proposition
as ridiculous, while the chances are that
at the very time of such denunciation
he is himself rapidly becoming rotten.
We have heard so strange an argument
from topers as that they drink beer for
their health. They keep on drinking for
their "health"-they fail to find the health
they are seeking, but find Temporary en-
joyment which leads them onward and
downward until at last they are awak-
ened to the horrible realization that in
stead of building up their health, they
have been undermining it; instead of be-
coming strong and healthy, the become
bloated and rotten.
The citizen of Jackson needs no argu-
is source of decay to the human system.
There are abundant living, walking wit
nesses to the fact. We have known men
who were strong, rugged, and active
when they first began the consumption
of this "Body-Rot," who in few years
became so much afflicted as to be scarce
ly able to get about at all. These thought
that in drinking they were making them
selves physically strong.
1t seems strange that man will delib-
erately do that which will injure his
health, and cause misery to himself, yet
the man who drinks glass of beer does
that much toward the decay of his own
body, and the bringing upon himself of
untold misery. The process of decay be-
gins with the first glass of the "Body-
Rot" and in too many cases continues
steadily until the horrible work is COM
plete. The victim of this decay becomes
lost to all realization of his condition, and
all sense of shame. He will drag his de-
caying body, odoriferous with the stuff
he has been taking, into the private resi-
dence, the public hall, or the church, and
permit his diseased breath to taint the at
mosphere of the room, to the utter dis
gust of those by whom he may be sur
rounded, yet not having within his own
diseased brain, the faintest idea of his
repulsive condition.
In such one the process of body-rot-
ting has set in, and unless checked by to-
tai abstinence, will at last drag the vic
tim, putrid, repulsive mass of filth,
down to a dishonored grave.
Yes, Body-Bot is good name for
Beer.

A BAD TIME !
HOW SIMPSON DID BUSHES ON TICK !

Freeman Simpson, young man who
has been working around here for some
time, recently went up into Vinton Coun-
ty, and few days ago some friends OF
his gave him two silver watches to leave
at some silversmith's for repairs. Simp-
son brought the watches to Jackson and
sold them-one to a young man named
Poindexter, and the other to a young
man named Kinsler. The watch sold
Kinsler was a tolerably good one, for
which Kinsler paid him some ten dollars.
Officers from Vinton County arrived here
on Sunday and took the young man back
with them to Vinton County. 1t seemed
that all the officers cared about was the
recovery of the property, but Simpson
had made such disposition of the money
as prevented his getting the watches
back. The one traded to Poindexter was
exchanged for a razor.
It's poor story if the good name of
Jackson County must suffer because of
the old snide watches of Vinton County.
Keep your old watches at home! Who
wants your old watches, anyway?
