Especially 20 those having machin-
cry TO repair, or bIacksmithing TO be
done. The Northwestern Stove Co., OF
Defiance, o., finding their spe cial
casting and contract Departments we'll
received, have added 90 their large
works, q fine machine shop and black
smith shop, and are now prepared to
do any and all kinds OF machine and
work. They thoroughly
overhaul and repair engines, thresh-
boilers, and all other
build or repair smoke
stacks, breeching and exhaust pipes.
Ifauy casting for repairs IL needed
they will make it, as they have also .
corps of first class pattern makers,
and q casting or foundry floor 20 by
200 feet. They do not leave . ma
chine out in the weather while re-
pairing it, as they have building 200
feet square. Their machine shop ts
run by q man Of large experience and
skill, who is at home on all kinds OF
work. They grind plough points, and
also grind any work requiring emery
or stone wheels. Their force OF black
smiths has been selected SO as TO in-
clude all kinds OF experience. Take
your work In and try them. Their
charges are modeFat te enough to sat-
isfy all; as they will not ask the price
OF machine for putting bolt In one
end of IL. Sc
Census taking is not such q paying busi-
ness as many supposed it would be. From
several enumerators We hear that days wa
ges cannot be made at the business, and its
the hardest kind Of work. "To ask and re-
ceive answers to 30 questions for the small
sum of cents would be Improbable with
the conditions favorable, but when you come
to tramping over half q township TO hnd a
man you're doing heap of work for cent"
says an enumerator who is pretty thoroughly
disgusted.
II was given out a little while ago that
President Harrison would veto free coin
age bill if one was passed. The Senate &C.
cepted the challenge and passed free coin
age act without any limitations or subter-
fuges. In voting for it Senator Mitchell of
Oregon, speaking for the pacific slope Re-
publicans, said: ''Any administration which
would set itself up against the free and un-
limited coinage Of the silver dollar would be,
as it deserved to be, hurled from power" 1t
was a bad day for Mr.. Harrison and he prob
ably pulled his grandfather's hat down over
his ears to shut out the harsh senatorial voices
from the western Republican States.
If George Russell has the interest of
the people of Henry county so at heart, why
don't he pay back into the treasury the large
sum the county was made pay W Webster, who
was simply here as tool and tutor of Rus.

Russell has his own interests more at heart
than the interests of the people, for he is
costing the county big money, and being OF a
penurious nature is growing rich out of his Of

quite large mortgage from his farm out OF
the proceeds of his ill-gotten gains. We say i'll.

The following from an exchange says: The
discovery of oil ard gas in the vicinity of the
Mercer county reservoir is likely to prove a
profitable find for the State and may result
in bringing in sufficient revenue to put the en-
tire canal system of Ohio in first-class condi-
ton. The fact of oil and gas being found in
large quantities around the reservoir and al
most at the waters edge, has led to the for
nation of two rival syndicates backed BY un-
limited capital, whose object is to get con-
troll of the immense body of water. The reser-
voir embraces about 16.0OO acres, and the
plan is to secure by lease the right to bore for
oil under the surface Of the water. Applica-
ton for this privilege has already been made
to the canal commission by both syndicates.
their plans are about the same, but there is a
wide difference in the price offered. One
wants the privilege on a basis Of $25 an acre
while the other offers $50. The scheme is a
gigantic one, and the idea of taking oil from
under the water is entirely new. but those
forming the syndicate have satisfied them
selves that the plan is feasible and that it can
be successfully worked. At any rate they are
ready to put their money and undertake the
task, expecting of course to get large in
come over the amount proposed to be paid
the State.

Last Tuesday evening is one that will long
be remembered by the many friends of Mr..
