on warrant sworn out by Peter
Lanahan for an assault and battery
which occurred about Christmas.

and instead of being tried on Mon
day before Justice of the Peace a
capios was issued and he was lodged
in Jail where he will remain until
the next term of the circuit court,
unless Judge Fleming shall allow

WOman's Province.

THE DUTIES OF THE GENTLER SEX
HOW BEST FULFILLED.
What great task is assigned to wo-
man. Its dignity can not be elevated. 1t is
not her province to make laws, to lead
armies, nor to be at the head of great en-
terprises, but to her is given the power to
form those by whom the laws are made,
to teach the leaders of mighty armies and
the governors of vast empires. She is
required to guard against having the
slightest taint of bodily infirmity touch
the frail creature whose moral, intellect
ual and physical being is derived from
her. She must instil correct principles,
inculcate right doctrines, and breathe into
the soul of her offspring those pure senti-
ments which in time to come will be
part of themselves, and bless generations
vet unborn. Yes, to woman is given the
blessed privilege of aiding the sufferer in
all the various stages of his existence. She
smiles serenely at the christening, and
weeps at the burial, while she soothes the
bereaved heart. This is her province and
duty Yet how can she fulfill her mission
unless possessed of strong and healthy
body? The preparation of DIR. S. B.
Hartman, and known as PERUNA, is just
the thing for persons suffering from 4 ma
jority of the complaints incident to this
climate. 1t is invaluable to women, and
Mrs. ]. w. Reynolds, of New Lisbon,
Columbiana county, Ohio, is a noted ex-
ample of what the medicine can do. She
says she has suffered for years with con-
gestion of the lungs, catarrh in the head,
!, and was troubled with bad cough. She
d had tried a number of physicians, but
they all failed to cure her. She was in
3 duced to try PERUNA, and Immediately a
marked change took place. After using
one bottle her cough ceased and in short
time her other ailments were cured. She
is now completely restored to health, and
gives all the credit to PERUNA. Mr.. 7.
w. Reynolds, her husband, was con-
firmed invalid. He could not sleep well,
neither could he work. Heused PERUNA,
and as a result, was completely restored
to his former vigor and strength. He
says he now feels like new man.
Mr.. Bernhardt Seubs, st. Clair, st.
Clair county, Mich, says: 81 have thor
oughly tried your PERUNA in the various
diseases to which parents and large fam
lily of children are ever liable, and find
itin every case to be just the thing needed.
No family can honestly be without it."
Nancy Feterrnan, Cookport, Indiana
County, Pa, says: Gentlemen: Your
valuable PERUNA is the best medicine
ever used"

Anderson, of the Independent, who has
always opposed Col. Poerman. is now
lighting Taylor. and evidently prefers
PoOrman to his Guernsey county rival,
though he would rather have Mr.. Bing>
ham nominated than any other person
who has been mentioned. There are no
indications that the Bingham boom is
being Systematically pushed in Belmont
county, but it moves along in the same
solid, stately way that marks its forward
motion in Noble and Guernsey counties.
The situation is somewhat complica
ted. and no man can forecast the result.
Col. Taylor is the strongest candidate
now, but it is not unlikely that the quiz
ct opposition to him may organize un-
der the shadow of the Bine ham move
ment and become dangerous. Col. Poor
man has reason to believe that he can go
into the convention with the support of
Belmont county firmly at his back. If
he can do so, his candidacy will prove
formidable.
