THE reports of the commercial agen-
cies respecting the condition of the busi-
ness of the country and its prospects are
more encouraging than they have been
for some time. Everything seems to
point to prosperous autumn and win
ter trade, with enough doing during the
summer to keep the wheels in good
working order.

The FaVOrite

Medicine for Throat and Lung Diff
culties has long been, and still is, Ayers
Cherry Pectoral. 1t cures Group,
Whooping Cough, Bronchitis, and
Asthma; soothes irritation of the
Larynx and Fauces; strengthens the
Vocal Organs; allays soreness of the
Lungs; prevents Consumption, and,
even in advanced stages of that disease,
relieves Coughing and induces Sleep.
There is no other preparation for dis
eases of the throat and lungs to be COM
pared with this remedy.
"My wife had distressing cough,
with pains in the side and breast. We
tried various medicines, but none did
her any good until 1 got a bottle of
Ayers Cherry Pectoral, which has cured
her. A neighbor, Mrs. Glenn, had the
measles, and the cough was relieved by
the use of Ayers Cherry Pectoral. I
have no hesitation in recommending this

A STRADDLING CANDIDATE.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
James F. Campbell, who aspires to be
the Democratic candidate for Governor
of Ohio, claims in an interview that he is
with his party on the tariff question: that
while he voted against the Morrison bill
in Congress, he supported the Mills bill,
and he is in favor of tariff for revenue
only.
Mr. Campbell will discover that Ohio
has not changed her views on the tariff
question since last fall. Tariff for reve-
nue. means free trade. Mr.. Watterson
and all free traders will tell him so. Its
use for straddling purposes ended some
years ago.

A AGREATLEADER.

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
General Malone is the head of the Re-
publican party of Virginia. Without him,
Republican victories and majorities there
would disappear. Republicans with him
have won their triumphs in the Old Do
minion. Without him the party would
be squabbling lot of impracticables in
that State. He is always cool, level-head-
ed, brave and determined. He is for the
party above the spOils.

TO THE CREDIT OF KILRAIN.

From the Toledo Commercial.
There is one thing that is to the credit
of kilrain. He appeared to care more for
his wife than for all others. As a rule the
man who thus regards his wife above all
Others has within him the elements of a
good man. How different with Sullivan.
Nothing occurred to indicate that his wife
was thought of; neither did anything oc-
cur to indicate that his wife cared what
became of him. Herein is to be found the
difference between the two men.

BEATTY'S IMPROPERLY.

From the Columbus Press, Ind
Both the friends and enemies of Gov
ernor Foraker will agree that it was the
height of impropriety in General Beatty
to attack the Governor in an address he
was invited to make before the &. A. R.
Post largely composed of the Governors
friends. This much is true, no matter
what General Beatty's grievances against
the Governor NAV be.

PRIMARIES are the places that good
men should make their influence felt.
1t is bad policy to neglect these, and
then complain because unworthy men
have been nominated. The man who does
that can not be accounted good citizen.
These meetings are meant to be the as
semblies of the People. Until men have
done all they fairly can to prevent unfit
nominations, they have no moral right
to complain of the action of conven-
tions, but should put their mouths in
the dust, instead.

"Six months ago I had a severe hem

FORAKER's ADMINISTRATION.

From the New York Graphic.
Secretary of State d. J. Ryan, Attorney
General d. K. Watson, and Auditor of
State Joseph Poe, of Ohio, have been here
to redeem S250,OOO of Ohio bonds and to
pay interest maturing yesterday.
When Judge Hoadley turned over the
Gubernatorial Office to Judge Foraker in
1886 the Treasury was empty as the result
of two years of Democratic rule Judge
Hoadley said at that time: " 1 fear that
"before three months the paper of the
State of Ohio will go to protest" But
Judge Foraker did not let it go to protest,
and under his direction not only is the
debt being paid off, but the tax levy has
been reduced. Under this condition the
Governors popularity can be understood
and appreciated.

THE Mayor of Cincinnati seems to be
doing what he fairly can to make the
law forbidding open saloons on Sunday
odious. To placate the saloon-keepers,
he has officiously issued an order direct
ing the police to see that bakers shops,
cigar stands, and the like, remain closed.
Most people have the impression that
bread, cigars, milk and ice are not calcu-
lated to make men drunk nor disorder
ly. 1t remained for the great Mayor of
Cincinnati to put such commodities on
a level with Cincinnati whisky.

An incident which recalls one in the
famous story of the Hidden Hand is now
located in Philadelphia A lady of that
city, standing late at night before a mir
ror, saw in it the reflection of man un-
der the bed. The house door-key lay on
her bureau as usual. Carelessly picking
it up, she seated herself by an open win
dow until policeman passed under it
She dropped the KEEP in front of him, at the
same time quietly signifying her mean
ing. He came up stairs, and sure enough
there brutal fellow was, who was collar
ed. Then, the lady being safe, her pres
ence of mind gave out, she fell in faint,
and the next call was for doctor.

THE HOTTEST WEATHER KNOWN.

From the Louisville Post.
"What is the hottest weather known in
the United States?" The question is an
swered in the May bulletin of the Ken
lucky Statistical Weather Service. The
highest temperature recorded by the U. S.
Signal Service was at Phoenix and Fort
Mcdowell, Ariz., in June, 1883. The ther-
mometer marked 1190. However, unoffi-
eial observers report temperatures as high
as 1889 and 1929, at Mammoth Tank and
Humboldt, Cal The coolest weather re-
corded by the service was SO" below zero,
at Poplar River, Mon. But this is warm
place compared with Werchojansh, Sibe-
ria, the coldest inhabited spot on the globe
The thermometer there has been as low as
800 belew zero. In view of these figures,
let us not complain of paltry 9O' above
zero

A Bad SOn-in-Law.

Texas Siftings.
 In Montgomery county, Ark, man shot his mother-in law, and when called on for an explanation by the court, he said that he thought there was panther in the yard, and shooting at it he perforated the old lady by mistake. It is pleasing to record that this yarn did not go Town it being the opinion of the jury that no panther would be so reckless as to venture near the house of so dangerous a woman as the average Arkansaw mother-in- law. What chance would one poor panther stand among a mother-in- law7 The man who shot the poor woman was acquitted on the ground pf iustifable homicide but was locked up temporarily for lying and trying to mislead the jury.

You'd better ask the doctor for his bill next time he comes" said a poor, sick minister to his wife. ''I don't know when we can pay it, I'm sure. He's made a good many vls- its, but 1 hope he won't have to come many times more."
 The old doctor was grim-looking person, who said as little as possible. and spoke in the gruffest of tones; but he had keit his eyes open, ald was not half so unfeeling as he ap- peared.
 At his next visit the minister's wife followed him out of the room and timidly preferred her request.
 "Your bill P said the doctor, glancing round the kitchen and then at his boots.
 "Yes, sir" said the woman; 'Mr. Ames wanted me to ask you for it, though we can't pay it just now. We'll pay it as soon as"
 Well, here it is, said the doctor, and he took out his pocket-book and handed the astonished woman ten dollar greenbacz, and was out of doors before she could say thank you.-Youth's Companion.

A Gala lime in Municn.

Munich, the capitol of Bavaria, and easily the Paris of Germany, as well as its Athens, had a gala time last week with a great Turner Fes- tival. They had an immense street parade on July 29th, when the shops were closed and the citizens nude it holiday occasion. A del egation of Turner's from the United States, with two handsome flags with the stars and stripes, were given the first place in the line' with Belgium, England, Holland and other countries behind them. The spectators were especially inter ested in these ''Deutschman ner von Amerika." The Bavarian royalty patronized the festival, and it has been an event for Munich A body O; men clad and armed as warriors of the Mid He ages gave a good rep resentation of the wild Teuton fighters of that period. At night a party of us American tourists went to a garden theatre concert, where 5000 people were seated and |, crack reeimental band gave excel lent music. Let's of the Turner's made it a freak to stand upon their heads on the beer tables and keep time to the music with their heels in the air. Then one cr other of the Turner company would start d ia vorit, song, and 5000 voices would join in the melody. The beer mugs holds more than a quart, and the way these Germans drank beer was astonishing. The Prinse Regent of Bavaria, m his capacity of Pfesi- dent of the Turner festival, made a speech that was significant of the national aspiration for the mainte- nance of Bavarian independence. His kingdom, while in the imperial league, certainly does rot propose to be absorbed. An example of tn $ in the details of administration is shown in the fact that Bavarian, and not German imperial postage stamps, are required for all mail matter sent through the mails in this kingdom Cor.

Lucky John.

Ten years ago J. Spaulding, Su- perintendent of the Hogback group of hydraulic mines, while returning to his home on a dark and stormy night from Little York to Dutch Flat, was attempting to ford Bear river between Gold Run and Dutch Flat, when his horse sank and was lost with his buggy, while he and his companion barely escaped drowning. Mir. Spaulding had at the time the cleanup from one of the mines in his possession. This was lost in the river and was not found until a few days ago. A party, consisting of three Chinamen of Dutch Fllt, learning the particulars of the loss, went to the spot, and as the water is very low at this season of the year, they had very little trouble in
 discovering the treasure, which was found not four feet from where it waa lost. The treasure consisted of retort gold to the amount of $l, ,000.
