down attack upon Mr.. Foust. Among
others he makes the statement that a
contract was made to lay the floor of a
certain bridge near Lynchburg at the
rate of one dollar per lineal foot. Now
the truth is that no such contract was
ever made. The contract included the
furnishing OF the flooring and joists OF
the bridge and was not contract for
laying the floor. But now, Mr.. Demo.
cratic Editor, let us hear an answer to the
main question. Has the debt been
paid as shown above? Has the tax
levy been reduced one and two.tenths
mills ? Isn't just such management
needed in the affairs Of Highland
county?
The News-Herald. [volume] (Hillsboro, Highland Co., Ohio) 1886-1973, 1889-10-24

The Gazette, by its silence, admits the
truth of our statements concerning the
excellent financial management of John
M. Foust as member of the Board OF
County Commissioners. If the figures
are false, why not deny them and prove
them false? The fact is, the argument
Of figures is unanswered and is unans-
werable. Why this quibbling about
minor things while the figures, the true
index of Mr.. Foust's financial ability
remain unanswered? The truth is the
figures are admitted by the Democratic
organ and Mr.. Foust is endorsed. II this
is not the case, in order for reply we
repeat the figures. The debt of High
land county in the spring Of 1885 was
$lS9,0O0. In September, 1889, it has
been reduced $87, 900. In three years
time $l0l, 200 have been paid, and at the
same time the tax levy has not been
raised, but on the contrary has been
reduced one and two tenths mills. What q
magnificent showing! A showing that
is head and shoulders above the petty
falsehoods Of the Democratic organ and
the scandal mongers now In charge OF
the Democratic management. Do the
farmers OF Highland county ask for any
thing better? Are the farmers of High
land county willing to risk the expert.
ment Of change when our Republican
Board OF Commissioners, with John Foust
at the head, has done such excellent
work? Times are too hard for such fool
ishness. Now the Gazette has knowledge
OF these figures; II false prove them false.

$4OO to capture Ed. Blair, who walked
out OF the county Jail when there was

Nor was Ed. Blair the only one who
walked out unmolested. The Gazette in
formed its readers that Deputy Sheriff
Roush Roush, who is good Democrat
and is reported to have an interest in
the Gazette, made the capture of Ed.
Blair, but it has failed to tell it's readers
who got the $4OO reward, or whether the
$50 reward offered by Sheriff Mackerley
was ever paid, or to whom it was paid.

Special TO the NEWS HERALD,

special TO the eNEwS-HERALD.
CHILLIcorHE, Oct. 10, 1889.
The Democrats held their first public
meeting in this county here to.night
with Virgil P. Kline and Allen w. Thur
man as speakers. In the course of his
remarks Mr.. Thurman said, "My friend,
Senator Massie, has been doing some.
thing toward helping the financial con-
dition OF the State. He is the author of
some very good laws on the subject of
taxation, which have helped to relieve
the people OF their burdens" Lo, even
Democratic stump orators are obliged to
recognize the merit OF Senator Massie's
work, and it is right that they should,
for his laws are Of as much benefit to
Democrats as Republicans. Massie
should be elected as matter of business.
Some political matter which runs from
a boil of political jealously in the brain
of Gen. Beatty is being widely circulated
as campaign document throughout this
State. Gen. Beatty will no doubt be the
next nominee of the Democracy for Gov.
ernor of Ohio, at least he is rapidly tax
ing the degrees necessary.
We hope this document may get into
the hands OF all persons in this county
who knows Gov. Foraker, for from their
own personal knowledge they will be
able to detect the many infamous lies
Beatty tells in his attempt to become a
model Democrat, and will rebuke Beatty
by vindicating the Governor at the polls.

Haunts ana Habits ofthe Quail.

The quail Bob White, so generally
distributed throughout the States, is o
resident over all of the Mississippi Val
ley, except in the extreme West and
Northwest. In Minnesota it has fol-
lowed up the settlements, and in the
eastern part of the State has reached the
line of the Northern Pacific Railroad
about latitude forty-six degrees. In
Southeastern Dakota il is abundant, and
has advanced to about latitude forty.
four degrees thirty minutes. North
western Minnesota and most of Dakota
are yet to be occupied by this species.
To the question that is often asked.
whether the habit quail have of '1ying
TO dog is natural or acquired, Pro
fessor W. w. Cooke, in his report on
Bird Migration, says; "To get salts.
factory answer, one has only to hunt in
different parts of the Indian Territory.
In the region west of Fort Sill the quail
never think of stopping when they see
dog, but run as fast as they can, and
upon his near approach they flush i'm
mediately, Just as it may be supposed
they do on the approach Of a cayote. In
the eastern part of the Territory, near
the railroad, the quail lie quite well to a
dog, and as they are exceedingly abun-
dant, afford excellent sport from No.
vember to March. The range of the
Texas quail extends nOrthward to West
ern Kansas. In the neighborhood of San
Antonio these quail often come close to
the ranch and lay eggs in hens nests,
and at San Angelo they are reported as
raising two broods a year. -Ne,o York

flour, putting little melted butter on
top and between the loaves. Put these
in a deep baking pan, covered, and let
them rise an hour, or little longer if
not light in that time. Then bake in a
moderate oven. Just before browning,
a little butter on top improves the crust.
A little more or less flour than is given
may be used, as some flour thickens
more than others, but five cups to two of

A word about boiling rice. Some cooks,
who differ as widely as doctors, say
"Boil one cupful of rice twenty minutes
in three quarts of water and drain
through a colander when done" Others
again maintain that two cups of water or
twice its bulk is the rule for a cup of
rice. l have found the incest way to
boil rice is in double boiler. At first
use twice the quantity of water to rice,
adding salt and small piece of butter.
When the water is all absorbed, If the
rice is not soft enough, add little
milk if l have it, water If have not.
Make a hard sauce with q tablespoonful
of butter and scant cup of sugar, add.
