Last Sunday afternoon William Hathaway,
Charles Becker, Miss Laura Jones, daughter
of W. F. Jones, and Miss Ruth Winters,
daughter of widow Thomas Winters, started
out in a two horse rig. belonging to the livery of
Henry Ressler for a pleasure ride. We under
about one of the horses, but before the party
had driven a half dozen squares both started
Town Beech street on a run and became I'M
manageable by Hathaway, who was the driver,
and near the residence of Mr.. Michael the We
hicle turned over far enough to pitch out the
occupants into the gutter and against the
curbing. Miss Laura Jones received a fear
full wound on the back other head, raising the
scalp several inches, besides two other contu-
sions of the head, one on the left cheek and
lower jaw, knocking out several front teeth,
and a severe and painful bruise on the Shout
der and breast. Miss Winters received two
cuts on the head and was otherwise bruised.
The young men escaped with but slight inju-
ries. The horses ran but a short distance
and collided with a hitching post, tearing loose
from the vehicle and making a bad wreck of
it. The young ladies were picked up and con-
veyed to their homes as soon as possible and
medical assistance called. DIR. Stephens
dressed the wounds of Miss Jones, and gives
it as his opinion that they are not necessarily
dangerous. She is suffering considerable from
her injuries, but doing as well as could be ex-
pected under the circumstances. Herparents
were both from home at the time of the acct
dent, and did not return until late in the eve
ming. Miss Winters is up and around, but
very sore from her bruises, and the boys are
both out. 1t was a frightful accident, and al
most a miracle that some of the party were
not killed. Miss Jones, the most unfortunate,
has the sympathy of a large circle of friends
in her misfortune, and their heartfelt wishes
of her speedy recovery. Livery men should
not keep runaway horses for public hire.

Col. HnsersoII.s Lecture.

Col. Robert G. Ingersoll entertained the
citizens of Eaton and vicinity on Monday eve
ming last at the Opera House, in one of his
splendid and wonderful lectures entitled
"HyA md Uiracle." Notwithstanding the
evening was rainy and very unpleasant, the
house was well filled with an audience that
seemed very highly entertained and pleased
with the eloquence and logic of the gentleman
all through his remarks. Ofcourse we would
not attempt to give a synopsis of the lecture,
but will say all who remained away missed a
rich treat of rhetoric and eloquence, such as
was never heard here be 'ore.

CANCER OF THE TONGUE.
A Case Resem bling that of Gen.
q MT.

Some ten years ago l had a scrofulous sore
on my right hand which gave me great trou-
BILE, and under the old-time treatment healed
ups, but it had only been driven into the sys-
tenn by the use of potash and mercury, and in
March, 1882, it broke out in my throat, and
concentrated In what some of the doctors call
ed cancer, eating through my cheek, DESTROY
ing the roof of my mouth and upper lip, then
attacked my tongue, palate and lower lip, de-
stroying the palate and under lip entirely and
half my tongue, eating out to the top of my
left cheek bone and up to the left eye. I could
not eat any solid food, but subsisted on lia-
uids, and my tongue was so far gone l could
not talk. Such was my wretched, helpless
condition the first of last October OS84), when
my friends commenced giving me Swift's
Specific. In less than a month the eating
places stopped and healing commenced, and
the fearful aperture in my cheek has been
closed and firmly knitted together. A pro-
cess of a new under lip is progressing finely,
and the tongue which was almost DESTROYED
is being recovered, and i; seems that nature
is supplying a new tongue. l can talk so that
my friends can readily understand me, and
can alsc eat solid food again. If any doubt
these facts, l would refer them to Hon. John
II. Taylor, State Senator, of this district, and
to DR.. !. 5. Bradfield, of LAGRANGE, Ga.

Cooperation i'm Building.

1t has been suggested that our mechanics
and material men, by a mutual exchange of
labor and material can increase largely the
number of houses each season. Take for in
stance the carpenters, bricklayers, stone ma
sons, painters, timers and piasterers, and
then the lumber men, brick makers, stone
men and hardware men, and the owners of out
or in lots; say each one agrees to build a
house of the value of $500 to 50, 900, and to
exchange work or material one with the other.
In this way but little if any ready money is
needed, and at the same time they all may be
furnishing labor and material for cash con-
tracts, thus not interfering with our average
building; but adding from ten to twenty ad-
ditional houses by cooperation of labor and
material. What say you, Nation, Becker, Nc
Cabe, Huxley, Walters and other mechanics,
and Frum & Co., Eaton Manufacturing Com
pany. and Edison and Bonner & Bro? 1t is
worth investigation and consideration.

Whenever you hear an individual turn loose
nifty, you mark it down in your little book that
that person is below par in that town or COM
munity. You will never hear an honest indi-
vidual berating his or her friends, and when
you hear an individual denouncing a commu-
nifty by the wholesale, it is a certain evidence
that the community has "set down. on that
squea!er. You generally love those that love
you and will speak of them accordingly.

BY interviews published in the newspapers
it is seen that business men in various cities
agree that there is a confident feeling, and
that the lawn of a trade revival is at hand
There is no better method of intensifying and
spreading this feeling of confidence than by
giving the cheerful expressions of bushes,
men circulation through the newspapers. A.
panics and failures become epidemic, so may
the contagion of courage and prosperity SWEEP
the country.
The B.& o. Red Book for Ohio, 1885, is out
and as usual, comes at the time it is most val
liable. 1t is as full of political statistical dat
as a ripe walnut is of meat, and if the stat

The Reason People Ebespise Pat
en- Ni~ Medicines

Is because they are usually recommended to
cure all diseases. This must be a mistake
because the great success of the Shaker Elk
tract of Roots (Siegels Syrup is due almost
solely to the fact that it is made to cure one
single disease, namely, Indigestion, for which
it is a certain remedy. The aching head. con-
situated bowels, causing languor and fatigue,
vanish as soon as soon as soon as this remedy
is used.
A. H. Toon, of Fancy Farm, KY, writes
MAY 81, 1884, as. follows: II wish to inform
YOU that your medicine has odne more good
than any / have ever used, and | do hope this
will be read by all those who are afflicted with
dyspepsia, rheumatism and general debility.

Madame DuRiway is writing an
other novel, perhaps another of
those wishy-washy narratives that
endeavor to inculcate false notions
Of independence, that lauds disobe-
dience to parents, and which serves
as O medium for the dissemination
Of her hobby. The assurance that
this new venture will be equal in
literary ability to any of its prsde-

the man who came to this Coast

At the next conference with the
Indians 1t seems probable that the
matter Of opening the Umatilla res
ervation to settlement will. be ar
ranged. This is evidently deep
disappointment to the federal Off

difficult o few months ago to 'uake
o disintereSted observer believe that
any of these officials were iB favor
of the Indians agreeing to the terms
of the Slater bill, and it would per-
haps be on easy matter to obtain
"athdavits" to show that at least
some of them used their influence
in active opposition to the same.
But the whole business has assumed
new phase; it is high time tc
hedge 10 put the burden of blame
on some one who Is distasteful ts

this brilliant flank movement will
have the effect of covering the re
treat of those who were as much

bill as Father Coarardy was. Hi
opposition was well known, as wa
