Or break thy peaceful sleep

While in the presence of thy God

That mortal weakness knows.
And while with bleeding hearts we bow
To Gods divine behest,

The City of our God,
Thy spirit waits to welcome us.

TEAS

We ask especial attention of Tea
drinkers generally to the SUPERIOR
QUALITY of our TEAS. We have had
twenty five years experience in buying
Teas, and think we know where to
secure a PURE article. We are sur
prised that people will be fooled by
buying Teas of Itinerant Tea Peddlers,
who know nothing of either quality
or value of Teas, when they can so
easily obtain reliable goods. We are
sole agents in this market for the
famous "BUFFALo CHOP FoRMosA
OoLoNG TEA" The finest Tea grown
in China, the most delicious Tea drank
in America.

Pure FOOD! !

We notice in a recent report of the
Ohio State Food Commissioner that
the adulteration of food is increasing
to an alarming extent, and that in some
cases the adulterations are not only
harmful but very Injurious, and if used
by an invalid, might result fatally.
All the leading articles of food have
been corrupted, such as FLOUR, SUGAR
CHEESE, BUTTER, LARD, COFFEE, TEA
SPICES, and even SALT, cheap as it is.
The adulteration of spices is simply
enormous, and yet sold in every mar
ket for pure goods. The incentive to
cell such goods by great many dealers
is the LARGELY INCREASED PROFIT,
even at lower price. It is, therefore,
the safest way to buy your FAMILY
SUPPLIES from dealers who want to
sell good goods, and are also judges Of
the goods they offer for sale.
We have for years had the reruta
ton of selling first class goods. We
shall endeavor to maintain that repu
tation in the future.

A saddened household on South Prospect street

A saddened household on South Prospect street
mourns the loss of wife and mother.
Early last Friday morning, Mrs. Ida E. Jones.
wife of James Jones. a C. & P. section hand arose
from her bed prepared tumbler full of strichnine
and water, drank half of the admixture. quietly
informed her husband and children of what she
had done. and in spite of all that could be done,
to save her life expired in forty minutes from the
time of taking the fatal draught.
For the past six months Mrs. Jones has been
constant sufferer, her aiment causing her almost
perpetual pain. aggravated at times to the sharp
est pangs of agony. Despite the gkill of her med
ical attendants and the faithful of her family
and friends, her malady grew steadily worse and
| at last began to undermine her reason. which
gradually succumbed to its insdious attacks
til the sad truth of her insanity was too painfully
evidenced to all her friends. Every precaution
was adopted to prevent her attempting any vio-
lence on herself, but her perpetual efforts eluded
the strictest vigilance and last week Tuesday she
procured some strichnine for the avowed pur-
pose of killing rats. Previous to this she had
| been to physician, and before returning
| home she procured the deadly poison, her mind
being evidently wrought up to high pitch OF
wild determinatioa from the thoughts of what
appeared to her an incurable malady. What fol-
lowed has been told above.
Mrs. Jones was born in Iowa. 35 years ago. and
at the age of II years came to Ohio with hel
mother, who at that time was widow with twelve
children. During the greater portion of the sub
