OF midsummer has a weakening effect, both
upon body and mind. You feel absolutely
incapable of doing any arduOus work. and
even light duties are performed lamgudly
and unwillingly. This low state of the
system causes even greater intirmaty, and
gives opportunity for serious diseases to gain
a fOOt-hOld. In this condition the system
is quick to respond to the reviving quick
ening, and strengthening effects of HO0dS
SarsapariIla, which purifies the blood. regu-
lates the digestive organs. and infuSes fresh
life and vigOr into every portion of the body.
People who have taken it write us. saying

me young again" Reader, if you suffer
from summer weakness, try Hoods Sarsa-

HOW To GET THERE.

The camp grounds are situated about a
mile and half from the postofiice The
west Main street cars go To within third
of a mile of the camp, however. The Street
Railway Co. gave SIS toward the expenses
of the enCamPment and Mr.. Stroud states
that everything will be done towards ac-
commodating the large crowds going out to
the camp. II necessary eighteen of twenty
extra cars can be put on. amply sufficient to
carry thousands of persons. Besides this
dozens OF express wagons and passenger
wagons will be running direct to the camp,
so that there will be no lack OF transpOrta-
ton. 1t is not likely that there will be a
sham battle. There will be a grand parade
OF all the forces Of the brigade through town
however on one of the days of the encamp-
ment. During the brigade encampment at
the fair grounds two years ago the citizens
went out by thousands to see the dress p; =
radeS, sham battle, etc, and il is probable
that the Second brigade encampment will
be equally popular. The sight is more
beautiful than that Of a finely laid out camp
with white canvas tents, the bright uniforms
of the soldiers. the waving flags: the effect

On the 2lst of July. 800 men belonging
to the Second Ohio Brigade will march to
their camp-ground, west of this city, with
drums beating and cUlorS flying. Major
{ Putnam estimates the troops which will 60
into camp as follows: Fourteenth regiment.
II companies, average OF 90 men to the
company total, $50 men; Seventeenth reg
iment. companies 4 of its own and the
Toledo cadets, average 90 to the company
$50 men; Ninth batilion headquarters

pany 5O--total, 15O men; Battery f, Spring
field, 80 men; Battery II. Columbus. 50:
total. 100 men. Grand total. l,32O. With
additions. this number will probably be Il
creased TO l,50O. The Camp-grounds are
beautifully situated. There is a natural
battle-ground of $50 acres as level and green
as a billiard table. on which the drilling
will show up in magnificent style. The
great spring, pouring out large volumes Of
limpid water is another great advantage
1t is probable, however; that several drive
wells will be sunk to give an increased sup
ply OF water. The Brigade headquarters
will be pitched on a high hill which over
looks the entire camp. The near proximity
of Mad river and Buck creek to the camp
makes pleasing feature which could not
have been had. if the encampment had
been placed in the fair grounds The boys
will undoubtedly avail themselves Of the
magnificent fishing facilities in the way of
salmon" 'speckled beauties, etc, in our
fine mountain torrent of Buck creek-that
is, if the cannonading don't destroy all the
fish in the creek the first few days.

Lying in darkened room on west Pleas

is Prof. John De Leon, whose terrible fall
from a tight rope at the fair grounds ere
ated such sensation in this city last Mon
day. The sufferer is dong as well as can
be expected. but still suffers great pain at
times. He has been very much troubled by
a short screed which appeared in the Ur-
bana Citizen; in which n man named Ed.
Leon is represented as having said that
he advised him 10 stick to his paint brush"
Prof. De Leon says that, in the first place
Ed. Leon is no relation Of his, and that he
never gave him any such advice a> the
above, since circus business mas been his
business from early childhood, and not
painting. Notwithstanding his pain Prof.
DE Leon talks CheerfulIv and readily about
his career and future prospects.
"Oh, yes, shall be able 10 walk again.

rope stretched across a point above the

The achievement which gave DeLeon his
walk across upper GenesSee Falls on
ght rope. The rope was stretched across
Portage ChaSm. 200 feet above the river
level. The rope was only one inch and a
quarter thick and $50 feet long. When the
time for the exhibition arrived DeLeOn
promptly stepped on the rope, bearing in
his hand piece of long iron tubing of sixty
pounds weight, which served him A. a bal
ancing pole. Firmly and confidently he
stepped forward along the rope. When he
reached the middle he kneeled on the rope
lay down on it and performed other amaz-
ing featS. The vast multitude held their
breath. Away out on that narrow strand of
hemp was DeleOn, looking like fly crawl
ing over a thread, while two hundred feet
below dashed the river, Churned into mad
dening spray by the laundering falls. The
spectacle was thrilling, especially when De
Leon walked 10 the middle of the rope and
hung head downwards over the yawnng
abyss by means of a trapeze suspended
there. He was escorted TO his hotel after
the exhibition by cheering crowd, and
brass band.
He awoke next day to find himself IA

accounts of his achievement to papers all
over the country, and several New York
papers had long specials describing the

\ good many people have acquired the
erroneous impression that Prof. Drury. ouI
patrarcEal weather prophet, has been tried
and found wanting, and is out of the
(prophetcl ring. Not at all a.; the Prof. is
still preparing his prophecies and manages
to hit the bull's-eye with striking frequency.
Prof. Drury's prophecies for July were
published in the daily GLOBE-RH-
PUBLIC about week ago. Among
other predictions he stated that there would
probably be severe storms in Ohio on July
7th. The storm came to hand on the 1th
aS promptly As death or the tax collector
We saw but did hot feel its force in Spring
field. At the historic capital Of Enon, west
Of Springfield, however, its full force was
experienced. The wind blew a hurricane
and quantities Of hailStoneS the size of an
egg cumming birds eggl fell, riddling the
young corn. At other points in the state
the storm was still more severe. At Mt.
Vernon the wind blew hurricane, unro0f-
ing houses and doing great damage. At
Marion there was heavy hail storm Iii
which hailStoneS the size of pigeons egg
fell. At Columbus the wind uprooted trees
and did further damage. At other points
the storm was also severe.
For the storm to be predicted to the very
day and the prediction published one week
previous, must be admitted Ia be remark
able example Of Mr. Drury's skill. Many
persons thought that Mr.. Drury foiled in
his cyclone prediction for June I2th and
18th. The fact is, however. that the only
cyclone of the month cavorted around Min
ne>ota on that very date. On those dates
also the signal service reported a general
cyClOniC state of the weather in the west.
An Ohio weather student came to the res
cue of Mr.. Drury shortly after the 18th and
