A NEW LEASE OF LIFE.

When one has been suffering the agonies
of severe attack of rheumatism, neural
gia or sciatica and relief comes, it seems as
if new lease of life had been granted.
Such have been the feelings of thousands
who, after trying physicians and number.
less remedies, have used Athlophoros and
found to their great joy that this medicine
really did cure these diseases.
O. P. Shaffer, formerly managing editor
of the News Register, Youngstown, O.,
said in recent interview with him: 81
have suffered from rheumatism for about
thirteen years. At different intervals l
have been unable to attend to my business
for weeks at time. The most of my
trouble was in my hands and arms. The
pain was usually accompanied with con-
siderable swelling of my hands. During
these years | have used many kinds Of
remedies with only temporary relief. Being
in the newspaper business l had come in
contact with various medicines that were
advertised in our columns, but really never
had much faith in patent medicines. A
little over three years ago my attention was
called to Athlophoros | noticed from
time to time the strong endorsement of
parties that had used the remedy and was
sent to us for publication in our paper.
Through this means | concluded to try the
medicine for my own case. Twas relieved
and cured in . remarkably short time"
"Haye you been troubled with rheuma-
tism since," was asked. !" was entirely
rid Of it for two years and thenhad another
slight attack, but few doses of Athlopho-
ros soon drove it away since that time,
about year ago, have been entirely free
from rheumatism. This was all done with
less than bottle Of medicine. l alway.

Every druggist should keep Athlophoro'
and Athlophoros Pills. but where they can
not be bought of the druggist the Athlo
phofos Co., ll2 Wall St., New York, will
send either carriage paid) on receipt o

at. Well enough of that now as to
the sights one sees here, they arc so
many and varied hat it is imlossi
Bile to describe them. So many won
derful scenes in the great drama of

acted here. that with almost every

vate properties there is some inter
esting historical incident connected
with it that makes it dear to the
heart of every true American. have
stood on the spots where two of our
country's great Presidents were shot
by an assassin. The old theater
building where President Lincoln
was assassinated is now used for an
Army Medical museum and bones,
skulls, smput ated limbs DC gather
ed from battle fields fill the gloomy
old place. As one gazes at this
place where the great tragedy occur
red the particulars of which are full

such food of memories come rush
ing to the mind that every incident
almost of those fearful days in April
1865 are pictured SO clearly in the
mind we can almost see them as
they occurred.
l had the pleasure few days age
of being present at a session of the
Supreme Court Of the U. S., and saw
the wise old Solons in their Ions
black gowns march in take their Ju
dicial seats with all the dignity
that Judge briggs can possibly com
mand. Old Ben Butler was there
and wore a fresh button hole bou
quet-he made little speech and
noticed he was quite shaky, but o
course not from bashfullness.
One meets some very strange peo
pie here and some whose persona
history would no doubt be quite in

Tyler, a son of ex-President Tyler
was appointed to position as watch

WASHINGTON CITY.

To write letter for publication
is thing l very much dislike to do,
but having been requested, by friends,
to write for your paper, / will jot
down few items, with promise of

There are many things of interest
here to write about, had the time
to investigate and the ability to
write but being sadly lacking in
both these essentials / trust no one
will criticise too harshly, and per-
chance we may succeed in interest
ing some one.
Just now the city is comparativc-
ly dull, at least so they say here,
but to fellow just from the Ozark
Hills" it seems quite lively, particu-
larly so about 3 or 4 o'clock in the
afternoon the latter being the hour
the department clerks quit work, and
the thousands of them on the street
make quite stir. They are of al
most all sizes colors, shapes and
ages, from the gay young messenger
boy or lady clerk to the feeble gray
haired old man or woman; from the
octoroon to jet black; and as to
shapes, of the ladies l say nothing,
but the men-oh my-well l will
simply say there arc fat and lean,
men with an arm off or leg gone,
al eye out, or crippled in some man
ner, indeed / never saw SO many
cripples in all my life. 1t is said
by every one here that has any
knowledge of the Government ma
chinery that there never was time
such perfect order existed and so
little jar was perceptable in its work
ings. They say the change is al
most miraculous, that clerks do more
work, pay less attention to politics
than ever before. Clerks, who have
been in the service tor long time,
tell me of the gay old times they
used to have Sinking work and all
that, and yet they paid their alloy,

pie, but the people have redeemed it,
and of course 1t will take some time
to weed out all evils, and the sly old
foxes, whose places can and it is to
be hoped will in time be supplied by
good honest democrats who will do

"A CARD.

SwITzER, ONO, Nov. IL, 1886.
To the Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, o.:
The election report from this
township in your number of the 9th
inst, copied from the Tribune, Bell
aire, Ohio, is base misrcpresenta-
tion of the facts. For not shadow
of any illegal transaction has ever
been executed during said election
day by our Board of Judges, a set
of officers fully accomplished for
their duties, all honorable men, fair
and square in every respect, having
served as such during a succession
of years by constant reelection.
Here following the facts are Civ
en-:
In course of last November elec-
tion, a vote was rendered here at our
polls by resident, born and raised
here near the center of the township
in staunch Democratic family
Lately he has been absent for some
time on a journey through the West.
One of the two Democratic Judges
not being certain whether his alb
sence extended over a full year or
not, nor whether he had left with
the intention Of settling permanent
ly outside of this State, challenged
his vote, when the Republican Judge
at the ballot box called said voters
name, at the same time pushing the
ticket through the slit into the bal
lot box. A regular, legally conduct
ed examination by the board of
judges revealed the facts, that said
voter had really been absent from
County and State some few weeks
over a year, but just in course of his
travels he took a notion to settle
somewhere outside of this State,
and while afterwards changed his
! mind and returned h6re to stay
The judges also ascertained that the
challenged vote was straight Dem
ocratic ticket, without any scratch
ing OF marking of any kind. When
the polls were closed at the end of
the election and the votes counted
but not before-the board of
judges decided said challenged vote
could not be counted, and then took
out of the ballot box clean, un-
scratched, regular Democratic tick
ct, and DESTROYED the same without
counting, IN representation of the
ticket in question.
If the Bellaire editor could infu-
ence to like honesty and thorough
principles in public life, the follow
ers of his political shade, Belmont
County would fare exceedingly we'll

- Farmers should educate their

to stay on it. In nine cases ont OF
ten, it is the parents fault ifa young
man deserts the farm for some other
occupation. Is is useless to tell
your boy that farming is Il noble.

and attractive business, unless you
make it. so. If the hoy is worked
like slave, if he is deprived OF So
ciety and ADVANTAGES which he sees
others have, if the life on the farm

destitute Of all attractions, and the
boy meets nothing but discourage
ment, what wonder that he desires
to try something else? A young
man nineteen years old, an only son,
left his home last week fora a position
as brakeman on a railroad. The
father wrote to this office about it,
and in his letter suggested these re-
marks. From the tenor of his let
ter we have no doubt that the boy
was driven off by continual dingine
on "hard times for two or three
years back. The boy became con.
vinccd that farming was failure
| and he accepted the first chance that
promised something better. This is
all wrong, but thousands of boys
have been driven from the farm the
same way. If this boy keeps from

forever unfit him for the farm. 1
