FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
COLERAIN,

A cyclone atmosphere prevailed all day
! last Sabbath, and was the subject of
much comment. The wind blew fierce
hurricane In the afternoon, and as the
clouds rose from the horizon they were
watched with more than usual interest
The only damage done was to fences.
The general topic for discussion among
our farmers is Silos; there are said to be
six under contemplation. This subject
was duly discussed at the Farmers Club
at Pleasant Grove last Saturday night
The bird that crows SO early in the
morning will have hearing next Sat
urday night.
The Sabbath school at Wheeling Val
| ley is raising money by the letter system
to buy new library for their school.
The Barton Literary Society will close
the last of this month with an enter
taiment.
The many friends of Barney Kinney,
formerly of this vicinity, will regret to
learn that he recently lost one of his
hands while coupling cars on the Valley
road.
There is little doing in the coal bust
ness yet; some of the individual banks
are cleaning up, and getting ready for
| business. The houses at Kidd are fill
ing up, and report says they will COM
mence operation shortly.
Rev. Layport rendered his resignation
to his congregation at Wheeling Valley
and Short Creek, to be considered the 1st
of June; he is an excellent pastor, and
| through his efforts many have united
with the Church; he leaves a vacancy
that will be hard to fill.
The schools at Barton and Kidd closed
last Friday, with dinners, treats and en-
tertainments. These schools were sue
cessfully taught by Miss Belle Ander-
son and Mrs. Matte Wiley.
Several of the farmers near Barton
shipped car load of apples to Cleveland
last week.
Mr.. Joel Walker will purchase an en-
| silage cutter; it will be in readiness by
| the time the siloS are completed

Clairsville, closed an interesting term of
school last Saturday, with an entertain
nlent, consisting of declamatiOns, dia-
| logueS, music, and a paper chriStened
"Ihe Enterprise The paper contained
very little solid matter, but abOunded in
jokes and insults. The music was fur
nished by the Harrisyille and Pleasant
Grove band. At the close of the exercises
Mr.. w. l.. Hughes, in behalf of the schOl-
arS, presented the teacher with a very fine
shaving set, enclosed in a silk plush cate.
Mr. Anderson is hard to excel in the
school room, and has won the respect of
| the entire community.
Joseph Russell, one of our most highly
esteemed citizens, died at his home at
Colerain City last sunday morning, from

are LETT to mourn his !oss. The funeral
occurred Tuesday and was largely atten-

OHIO MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

OHIO MI N1OlHAL El-EC HUNS
Reports from the municipal elections
in Ohio show that remarkably light
vote was polled. and that the voting
was conducted quietly, except where To-
cal issues aroused exciting contests. In
Toledo there is a substantial majority
for nearly all the Republican candidates
In Columbus the Democrats elect all the
important city offices. In Cleveland
the Republicans elected Gardener May
or, and all the chief officers except Po-
lice Judge and Prosecutor by subStan-
tial majorities. In Cincinnati the Re-
publicans elected Mosby Mayor by 55l
plurality. Other Republicans elected
were: Gen. Moves Judge of the Superb
or Court, Theodore Houstman City Soil
citor, Henry NJ. Zeigler City Treasurer.
The Democratic nominees elected were:
Edwin Stevens City Comptroller, J. d.
Ermston Judge of Police Court, Patrick
]. Cocoran Prosecuting Attorney of Po-
lice Court Edwin Stevens got about
5000 plurality and the others elected,
except Mayor, received about 200 plu-
rality. In the smaller cities and towns
the Republicans held their own, and
have reason to be satisfied with the re-
suits.
The Ohio State Journal in referring
to the result says:
The party has done badly in a num-
Der of places, where local influences and
personal spites have conspired to its de-
feat. The jealousieS and quarrels in
dulged in by leading Republicans with
in the past six months have borne abun-
dant fruit, and the result is seen in
demoralized organization at nearly every
principal point between the river and
lake. 1t is a time for readjuSting Of
the political compass, drawing of lines,
healing of sores and general gathering
together of the party in this State. Uni
ted and harmonious we are irresistible;
torn by internal spites and chickering's
the enemy can tie one hand behind its
back and defeat us easily. 1t is time
for the turbulent spirits to be sent to
the rear. unless they are willing to keep
step to the music of consolidated and
victorious party whose principles are
eternal, and whose record is so glorious.
Decentralization must be stopped.

THE matter of service pensions is at
tracing attention just now, and will be
pressed upon Congress next winter with
great vigor. 1t is urged that general
service pension would be impracticable,
for the reason that it would swell the ne
cessary appropriation for pensions to up
ward of $200,000,00O, and that it is fur
ther Objectionable because so many e1-
soldiers do not need it. There are, how
ever, many deserving men who are not
on the pension rolls, and who can not get
on under existing laws, who ought to be
helped No man, nor the family of any
man, who marched and fought under the
flag of the Union should be permitted to
suffer for the comforts of life. That
class of men can be helped, and should
be. They are getting old, and many are
broken in health. Probate Courts should
be empowered to inquire into and pass
upon such cases, and certify to the Com
missioner such as should be placed upon
the pension rolls under the law

If the late Democratic administration
had showed the true American grit at
the beginning of the Samoan trouble
there would have been no need for the
presence of American men-of-war in the
harbor of Apia when the typhoon struck
it. The destruction of some of the best
vessels of our navy and the fearful loss
of life, may be justly charged to the i'm
becility of the Cleveland administration.

ONE of the oil men here-a gentleman
who has been in the business for twenty
years, in the Pennsylvania and other oil
regions, and who drilled several gas wells
at Findlay-says the supply of gas at
that town is unqestionably diminishing.
The gentleman spoken of has recently
been engaged in the Wood County oil
field, adjoining Hancock County, and no
doubt knows whereof he speaks.

UNDESERNEDLY LAUGHED AT.
The unthinking are prone to make game
of nervousness. Yet this is very real
and serious affliction. the harassing SYM
toms of which are rendered all the nc e
poignant by ridicule. The stomach is
usually responsible for these symptoms
its weakness and disorder find the reflex
in the brain, which is the headquarters of
the nervous system. As a nerve tonic
and tranquilliZer, we believe that not one
can be pointed out so effective as Hostel

recovery of strength and quletude by the

strength from the great tonic. Dyspepsia,

kidney complaints are subdued by tie

UNDER the next apportionment and
thereafter Belmont County will have two
Representatives in the General Assem-
bly,. There is proposition pending in
the Legislature to provide for districting
all counties that will have two or more
members. The proposition meets with
objection in Hamilton and Cuyahoga
counties, but it is SO, manifestly right
that there is little doubt of its adoption.

ANENT the bill pending in the Legis-
lature to increase the salary of members
from 5000 to $1,000 per year, the Bell
aire Independent says: "If the quality
of the legislators could be improved in
the same ratio the bill would commend
itself as a measure of great economy,
but, unfortunately, the statute could
guarantee nothing more than doubling
of expense.

three farms in this county that are be-
lieved to have produced S3,000,000 worth
of oil, and are still producing considera-
bic quantities. From here he moved
ten miles to TaylOrstown, where he is
operating at present, and there he has
opened up another bonanza, as is seen
in the yield of $1.559 a day from the
three wells above reported. Besides his
oil interests he has $4,000 acres of pine
lands in Alabama, the largest Touring
mills in Minnesota, business block in
Baltimore worth Sl,000,000, all made
from oil.

PENDING the consideration of the nom-
ination of Murat Halstead to be Minister
to Germany, Senator Payne begged his
brother Senators to vindicate him from
the charge of occupying purchased seat,
and members who occupied seats obtain
ed in the same way went to his relief
This transfers the battle to Ohio; and
now the thing for Ohio Republicans to
do is to put Mr.. Halstead forward for
Payne's seat in the Senate, and settle the
question whether corruption and bribery
can so far prevail as to punish with i'm
punity an editor who expresses his opin-
ions. Mr.. Halstead is very able and
honest man, and an intense patriot. We
nominate
For Senator Of the United States,
MURAT HALsTEAD, of Hamilton County.
BY great odds the best man named for
the Republican nomination for Governor
in a great many years is Mr.. JOHN W.
HEBRON, of Cincinnati. Mr.. Heron is
a good lawyer, and man in the noblest
sense of the word. He was member of
the Constitutional Convention of 1874,
and the late Judge Cowen, who was a
great lawyer and good judge of men,
esteemed him one of the very best men
in that body. 1t is said of him that if
nominated for Governor he will carry
Hamilton County beyond peradventure,
and that he will not at the same time be
a candidate for Senator. These qualif-
cations ought to recommend him. 1t
may be well for the Republicans of Bel
mont County to keep Mr.. Heron in mind

THEIR BUSINESS BOOMING.

Probably no one thing has caused such
a general revival of trade at PattersOns
drug store as their giving away to their
customers of so many free trial bottles of
DR.. Kings New Discovery for Consump-
ton. Their trade is simply enormous in
this very valuable article, from the fact
that it always cures and never diSap-
points. Coughs, colds, asthma. bron-
chitis, Group, and all throat and lung dis
eases quickly cured. You can test it be-
fore buying by getting trial bottle free,
large size 81. Every bottle warranted. 3

WAR SHIPS LOST AT SAMOA.


Dispatches from Samoa, which have
been confirmed, are to the effect that in
terrific hurricane there, the American
men-of-war Trenton, Vandalia and Nip
sic, and the German men war Adler,
Olga and Eber were driven on a reef
and totally wrecked and that many per-
sons were drowned. Following are some
of the particulars as reported of the ter
rible disaster:
The German man-of-wa Eber was
blown ashore and struck the reef first.
at an early hour in the morning. She
sank almost Immediately in deep water.
Nearly all of the men who were below
deck were drowned. When the Adler
struck, her maStS were shivered and her
rigging parted. Several of her crew
swan through the surf and We're saved,
among them the Captain and few of
ficers.
After the Nipsic grounded her crew
succeeded in lowering boats, but six
men were drowned by the capsizing of a
boat in the surf. The Captain of the
Vandalia was stunned by being thrown
out against gun, and was washed
overheard before he became conscious.
Several Others were washed overheard
by the waves, while others drowned in
their endeavor to swim ashore. Many
of the Vandalia's crew clung to the rig
ging, and the Samoans and others on
shore tried in vain to rescue them. The
bottom of the Vandalia was completely
stove in, and the Trenton was thrown
upon the Vandalia's wreck. The Olga
withstood the fury of the gale for day
and night, but at the dawn of the fol
lowing day she went ashore.
The officers of the Eber, with one ex-
ception, were lost, and with them rs
men. The Nipsic lost seven men. The
Vandalia lost her Captain, four officers
and 40 men. The Adler lost Is men.
The Nipsic grounded on sand bank,
Mataafa sent a number Of his men to
the assistance Of the wrecked ships.

CONGRESS ought to provide for simply
flying our pension system, and the Pen
sion Bureau ought to provide summary
methods of relieving the pension rolls of
unworthy pensioners. 1t ought not to
be difficult matter to do these things.
The red tape of the bureaus at Washing
ton is intolerable. Worthy claimants
look upon it with dismay, but the other
kind tackle it persistently, and finally
win; and consequently the pension rolls
are burdened with names of so many un-
deserving men, while many deserving
men receive no help at all. 1t is shame
and a scandal that such things should be,
and the Republican majority in Congress
and the Commissioner of Pensions will
disappoint the country if they do not de-
wise and put into execution the needed
remedies.
