Decoration Day.

Yesterday was gala day for La
mar. At an early hour the citizens
from all over the county began com
ing IN to contribute their mite to-
wards decorating the graves of she
dead hero boys. Many tear vas
silently shed and many heart did
ache when the untimeIy death of i
loved one on the southern battle
feid was recalled. The veterans
were carried back to all those rough
experiences of nearly thirty years
ago, and as they marched down the
street decked with bunting galore,
keeping time to those martial strains
of national airs tina: they so oft
heard OIL the rough edge of battle,
they carried their guns as proudly
and kept the old time step as if old
father Time had neglected to lay hi-
hand heavily on their brow.
God bless the old soldier boys.
May we never forget their SER
vices to humanity and our Gag.
And when we see one faltering by
the wayside in the fierce struggle
for existence, let us stretch forth a
helping hand and make him at least
a trifllng recompense for his work
SO faithfully done.

There shnuId he a Change.

"Some provision ought TO be jointly made
by Council and the Board of Commission
ers for the prompt relief of sick and
wounded people, said Chief of Police Del
brugge Yesterday. 1--WE receive calls by
telephone, or people come here in person,
who are sick or wounded, and in most
cases they are destitute OF money. Often
the injuries are of very serious nature,
requiring prompt surgical or medical aid,
and we are compelled to either summon a
physician or send the patients to the hOspi-
tai In either case am often held person
ally responsible, and the result is large
outlay OF cash. for which an never re
munerated.n
There is no doubt of the truth of what
the Chief says He has been called upon to
pay number of bills for medical and surg
ical aid, when physicians were called in by
him through motives of humanity. The
Board of Commissioners require that the
order Of Commissioner must first be OBJ
tanned bafore the services of the County
Physician can be called in, and the City
Health Officer is only required to attend
city prisoners It's not always possible TO
get the order of County Commissioner
late at night, with man suffering from
broken leg or who is all broken up from a
fall, or other cause, and whose life possibly
depends on immediate attention, and il
does seem that some method by which the
injured can receive speedy aid should be
devised by Council. or by the city and county
combined

Look Ont For BOgms Money

The REGISTER yesterday called atten-
ton to the circulation of bogus silver dol
lars, and ten, fifty and one hundred dollar
hills by hangers on of the Barnum X
Bailey show. Citizens would do well to be
on their guard to-day:and tomorrow, and
examine all money carefully. 4 telegram
from Akron, where the show has been,
says:
1.-THE city was flooded with counterfeit
silver dollars to-day, and this afternoon the
banks were kept busy in rejecting queer
dollars offered for deposit by merchants.
The coins are somewhat thicker than
standard, and the milled edge is poorly ex-
ecuted The color Is fair and the ring
sounds like that made by the glass. The
weight is correct, and the counterfeit is
more likely to deceive than any ever
showed here before The extent of the
work done can not be told at present as it
was not discovered until late in the after
noon; but there is no doubt that a large
quantity OF the bogus coin has been put in
circulation here

Another Effort to Obtain Relief.

A committee of citizens from the Second
and Third wards, living in Bakers addi-
ton, waited upon the Health Officer, last
evening, and petitioned for relief from the
pools of stagnant water which have been a
source of discomfort and i'll health to the
residents OF that portion Of the city for
years. Mn Henry Eobrecht, of the Third
ward, was present and spoke at longth
upon the situation. The Health Officer
promised to do all In his power to improve
the sanitary condition of that section OF
the city, and after considerable discussion
of the matter it was decided that the dele
CATION should appoint a subcommittee TO
secure the names of the persons owning
the property upon which the ponds were
located and theirnumbers, when the proper
steps would be taken to compel the owners
to drain or fill them.

WHAT THE REPS ARE DOING.
\ Meeting of the Board of Delegates of the
Central Club,

The Board of Delegates of the Central
Republican Club of Ohio County met last
evening at the Newsletter Office, and
among other things decided TO ask the
County Executive Committee to 50
change its call for conyen-
ton so that the voters of each
district will be allowed to select the del G.
gates from their respective districts to the
Staoe and Congressional conventions, in
stead of having them selected by the Coun-
" Convention, as had been intended.
There is not much doubt but that this re
quest will be granted.
As before stated in the REGISTER, the
Central Club has secured the old Court
House for term of siX months rs head
quarters and committee was appointed
to attend to the necessary repairs The
rooms will be repapered and reprinted and
frightened up generally, and the place will
make splendid headquarters.

honor of extending to you, in behalf OF the
citizens of Wheeling, Il hearty welcome.
Again. as a brother Turner, personally

effort and patient struggle of the German
Turner'S.
In our new Fatherland the Turner's have
largely contributed towards making our
beautiful land truly a land Of liberty. In
the hour of peril the Turner'S were among
the first to rush to the defense Of our coun-
try and our flag.
Your efforts in our days, as in the past,
are directed towards the advancement OF
mental physical and social culture y0ur
work has taken q firm root in this country,
but much remains TO be done.
You are rs it were, merely start
ed on the highway TO success.

4 Splendid Paving Brick.

On returning from his recent visit tC
GAINESVILLE. Chief of Police Delbrugge
brought with him q specimen Of the brick
with which the thriving Ohio town men
toned is paving her streets. The brick is
little larger than our paving brick, j.
made Of fine grained clay, ana IS burned
until it is nearly as hard as iron and al
most as heavy, weighing about twelve
pounds each Grooves are cut gu each side
of the brick, for the tar to bind the brick To-
gether. When left in water, specimens OF
the New Cumberland brick, experimental
on at GAINESVILLE, absorbed from half an
ounce to two ounces of water in forty-eight
hours. while the GAINESVILLE brick did not
absorb enough to turn the scales. Streets
paved with New Cumberland brick will. il
is said be torn up and relaid with the new
bricks.
