Cancer Cured !.

Mrs. Olive lIardman, an old resident of Wal
ton county, and lady OF culture ana lromln-
enCe, has this to say of treatment of cancer
with Switts Specific
Over fifteen years ago cancer made its np-
pcarancc on my face. 1t was treated with
plasters, and the core came out. The place
healed up after some time, and seemingly my
face was well. However, in II lew years it re-
turned again with more violence than over

remedy seemed to do il no good. Knowing
the disease to run in the family, having had
one sister to die with cancer. became serious

gave up all hope OF ever been cured: The
physicians advised the use Of the knife and
and caustic. This was more than could bear
and refused to have ii operated upon IN that
way. All other remedies were used, but the
cancer continued to grow worse. The pain
was cxcruciatinR, and my lite was burden.
In this extremity, my son, Dr.. Hartman, re
commended me to try Switt'S Specific. II was
the last resort, but was So prcjudccd against
the use of patent medicines, and especially
this one, that hcsitatcd some time. AT last

any virtue in it. The first bottle only lncreas-

Here is II fact for you to think over, viz:
Medical science proves that diseases, no mat

this reason that some single medicines relieve

But, while many things are said to possess this
power, those which actull!y do exert it are
very rare.
1t is conceded that DIR. KENNEDY'S FAV-
ORITE REMEDY, of ROndout, n. y, is the
most chectve preparation now in use for all

crowded house. OF his last engagement al
Cincinnati, the Enquirer said
At both the afternoon and evening per
formances at Havlin's Theater yesterday the
house was crowded in all parts. the all-
diences being the largest that were ever
in the theater. The cause of this rush
was Sully's Corner Grocery" a play
that met with great success in New
York. filling almost six months time
in one of the theaters there. The Corner
Grocery" tells pleasing and attractive
story, and We do not recall any of the light
productions that will surpass it. The oldest
of veteran theater-goers is bound to catch
the infection before the first act is over.
and find themselves laughing As heartily as
any of the audience. The entertainment
will certainly draw the largest business ever
done al this house, as the people want to
laugh. and Sully's Corner Grocery gives
them chance from beginning To end.

costed one of them. He said that he was
from Florida and was all right. but told the
officer contidentially that the other fellow.
whom he did not seem to know. needed
watching. The officer soon tackled the
other who said he was stair-bulder from
Piqua looking for work. He said he had
slept about the depot over night Closer
questioning developed the fact that he had
asked no one for work. and was
supplied with money. Shortly after
ward the officer again questioned the
Florida man, who this time said that he was
from Cincinnati. From his talk the officer
considered that there was enough in the
case to justify him in locking him up. and he
took him before the mayor Here he said
his name was Harry Harden, from Tiflin.
He said he had done nothing more than be
come the father of an illegitimate child.
and was keeping out of the way until the
affair could be settled up. He was locked
up until his case could be Investigated. The
officer returned for his partner. but he had
skipped.

THE GAS WELLS.
The Progress That Has Been Made in the
New Enterprises

A tour of investigation was made Thurs
day evening down in the ''hollow" to the
Citizens gas well. Since the big blaze We
had about two weeks ago. nothing has been
heard concerning the we'll or what sue
cess, if any. is being met with. The then
all-prevailing question has gradually died
away from the enthusiastic stockholders
and now is becoming a thing Of the past
with the citizens. II was found upon in
quiry that the well has now attained a
depth of l.4O0 feet, and that probably two
weeks or more will be required TO settle as
to whether the work shall be proceeded
with if gas is not struck within that time
| Ii was determined in the beginning to pro-
eeed Ia a depth of 1000 feet and if not
| successful then to probably drill still further
As the circumstances now are, probably
| 8. 900 feet will be bored. As 10 the indica-
tions of oil. one vein that was struck showed
an oily appearance. and has in some meas
ure interfered with the work. The
amount of gas that is still flowing is
sufficient to supply at least four or FIVE
houses with heat and light. One advantage
our gas has over that struck and used in
Pittsburg is that it is not OdorleSs. there
by preventing all danger of explosion from
escaping gas.
Steps We're then taken toward the Spring
field Gas and Oil Company's well. II was
understood that work would be begun yes

probably no mere. The contractors furnish
all the machinery which. it is claimed. will
be much heavier than that used by the Citi-
zens' Company. Ii will probably be very
difficult 10 begin the work. As a rod was
sunk to depth of fifty-fiye feet and no
rock found. II is likely that oil will be
struck and in a much larger quantity than
that in the other one. The company have
also selected place out in the country about
six miles from town. where place has been
discovered which shows better indications
than the one in town.

an embarrassing condition. The prisoner
was Shackled to the arm of the sheriff. who
had lost the key Ia the manacleS on his way
from Lebanon. The sheriff stated to the
superintendent the condition of things.
but Terivillager insisted that he
wa, not the prisoner, but that
his companion in bonds was. Taft said he
didn't know which from t'other, as both
were well dressed. fine looking men. and
the dispute was settled by the sheriff pre-
sentiug papers of authority. The superin-
tendent had to hunt up locksmith to pick
the lock of the handouts before the sheriff
could be released Teriviilager was left on

where he is sentenced for 204 days, while
the sheriff left on an afternoon train. re-
