BRONCHITIS. CONSUMPTION.
BRONCHITIS

Bronchitis is disease of the mucous mem
brane of the air passage, and Is one OF the most
bronchitis more often appears later in life.
Whena cold settles on the lungs the disease
either ends in bronchitis or pneumonia. If 1t
ends in bronchitis it usually passes off as cold
entirely WELL He feels tired and languid and
is incapable of taking his usual amount of
exercise, and experiences shortness of breath
with more or less warmth in the PAINS of the
hands. Soon after this cough appears, ac-
companied by an expectoration OF thick mu-
cous, followed by hectic flush, loss OF flesh
and strength, and night sweats continue, when
the patient assumes all the appearance of hay
ing genuine case OF consumption. But this
is simply catarrh OF the lungs or chronic bron-
chitis
The patient usually dies from exhaustion
and suffocation, being unable to expectorate
the mucous which accumulates in the passage
leading to the lungs, which in some cases is
monty copious, OF light straw or yellowish
green.
Dry Bronchitis-This disease, the very oppo-
site of the above, is a very common affection.
Very many people, who regard themselves as
quite healthy, are today under its influence,
and are slowly but surely becoming the vic
tins of this treacherous complaint. This is
the most insidious of all pulmonary diseases
There may at first be slight hacking cough
and an expectoration of q blush white mu-
cous. And herein lies the danger. This mu-
cous, inhabiting the air cells of the lungs, be-
ing difficult to raise, after time becomes
solicited, permanently obstructing portions OF
the lungs. causing shortness of breath and
feeling of oppression ON the chest, particularly
after meals or on slight exertion. After time
the cough becomes more severe and comes on
in paroxysms, and as the shortness of breath in.
creases 1t almost assumes the character OF
asthma The mucous membrane also be-
comes more and more thickened, which arises
from the frequent fresh colds, and the patient
at last becomes fully aware of the terrible
changes that have taken place and the newt
able results that are to follow.
without courage and perseverance nothing is
durable, but with these, aided with our Medi-
Gated Limitations and Compound Oxygen
the lungs are extensively diseased.

A GOOD ENTERTAINMENT.
Miss Powell and Miss Hollingshead Al
Court House Hall.

Miss Powell and Miss Hollingshead at
Court House Hall.
The entertainment given under the
auspices of the Presbyterian church at
the Hall, Friday evening, was well at
tended. The larger part of the program
was the work of Miss Hattie Powell, of
York, Pa, and Miss Mary Hollingshead,
of Ravenna, o. Miss Powell's playing
was thoroughly enjoyable, not only to the
musicians in the audience, but to others
as well. Her selections were made with
excellent judgment, and were rendered
with both skill and sympathy. This lady
is no novice with the keyboard.
Our people are well acquainted with
Miss HOllingshead's manner of acting,
and were glad of an opportunity of hear
ing her again. Each of her numbers was
well received. "The Money Musk" elicit
ed an enthusiastic recall. "Zingarella."
though an exceedingly difficult selection.
requiring great power, was well done.
We should like to hear Miss HOllings-
head render this when her talent is more
fully matured.
The remainder of the program was
done by home talent. The vocal duet,
Slowly and Softly Music Should Flow"
by the Misses Anderson, was very sweet.
Messrs. Archer and Kirk each gave
well-rendered solo, and the opening and
closing numbers were by full chorus.
The audience was just tri1e too criti-
cal and cold, and too little responsive;
and this fault, if they have a fault, is the
one of which our audiences may be ac-
cuSed.

BENJAMIN F. BARKHURST.
Another Old and Esteemed Citizen Passes
Awav

Another Old and Esteemed Citizen Passe:
Away.
For number of weeks the aged Beni
F. Barkhurst has been suffering from
the complaints of advancing years. His
disease. which at the start resembled grin
had kept him in bed during the spring
and early summer, and on Sunday
terminated his life.
The deceased was born June 24th, 1916,
near Mt. Pleasant, passing his boyhood
and early manhood at that place. On
April 9th, 1S41, he was married to Mary
A. Eckey. Thirty-two years ago they
removed to the farm on the southern
outskirts OF the town, and have lived
there since. His wife and two brothers
are the immediate survivors of Mr..
Barkhurst's family.
He was a lifelong member of the
Methodist church, to which he gave of
his money and time. The peculiarity of
his outside nature was strong generosity
for those whose natures he liked. and an
Indifference towards those who did not
appeal to him. He was noted for his
kindness and liberality toward his close
friends. He was man of strictly moral
life, perfectly upright in all his dealings,
of strong and inflexible character, and
eccentric only to those who did not share
his inner confidence. His death removes
another of our older and more familiar
figures.
The funeral exercises were held at 10
o'clock Tuesday morning, conducted by
DR.. E. Hingeley. Interment at the
Methodist Cemetery.

A Woodsfield Shooting.

Woodsfield was much excited on Mon
day over little shooting scrape in which
a couple of prominent citizens figured.
J. Z. Spriggs, the leading attorney of the
place, fired several shots at John Doher-
ty, one taking effect in his shoulder, and
inilicting slight wound. The story is
that Spriggs had a bill against an estate
of which DOherty was administrator
Spriggs, who was drunk, asked Doherty
something about the payment of the bill,
when the latter replied that he would
talk to him when he was sober. This en-
ragged Spriggs, and he at at once went to
hardware store and purchased revOlv-
er. Upon meeting Doherty he at once
peppered away with the above result
Spriggs is talented and widely known
Democratic lawyer, and his rash action
causes regret among his friends. Spriggs
was arrested but was afterward released

REPUBLICAN CLUB.
Temporary Organization of Club Here.
Permanent Next Monday Evening.

Temporary Organization of a Club Here
Permanent Next Monday Evening.
On Tuesday evening the preliminary
organization of local Republican League
Club was effected at this place State
Organizer Swartz of the League was
present, and it was due to his presence
that club was organized at this time.
This organization is being worked up all
over the State, and the entire common
wealth will shortly be covered with a net
work of clubs which are expected to do
efectual service in the coming campaign
In the temporary organization Senator
j. W. Nichols was chosen Chairman.
After general expression of opinion as
to the advisability of forming club, and
an almost universal declaration of senti
ment in favor of the movement, COM
mittee was appointed to report a consti-
tuition and bylaws. The recommends
ton of the committee embracing the
usual constitution and laws adopted by
league clubs was received without amend
ment. A committee of five on enrolment
was then appointed, with instructions to
report on next Monday evening at 7:30,
when another meeting will be held. The
to solicit members are A.
FL. Mitchell, 7. C. Ayers, VIII Miller, E. |
+. Clevinger and E. L. McMillen.
The object of the club is to assist the
county committee, and to engage in per-
sonal work in behalf of the Republican
ticket. The experience has been in all
places where these clubs have been or
yanized that they are very effective in
aiding the success of the Republican
ticket. Every Republican in Richland
township is eligible to membership in the
club, and it is the desire that all come
'ut on next Monday evening The pres
mt campaign is one of the most impor-
ant in our history, and strong organiza-
ion is needed. Come out, young men,
md help form club, whose influence
will be felt in Democratic Richland.
every thing is now auspicious, and a
,ood, strong organization in Richland
ownship will do much to roll up a larger
majority in the county. Come out.

Some New Cases in which Papers have
Been Filed.
In the Office of the Clerk of the Court
of Common Pleas petitions in the follow
ing new cases have been filed during the
week:
John D. Hobensack, admir- of the es
tate of Charles NJ. Roush, against the
BenwoOd Iron Company. In his petition
| the plaintiff sets forth that Roush came
to his death by the negligence of the de-
PENDANTS in maintaining battery of
faulty boilers, and that death was caused
by the explosion of one of these. 1t is al
legged that the boilers were old, thin, and
not properly supplied with steam and
water gauges, and that this fact was
known to defendants, who were negligent
in not remedying the defects, and dam
ages are asked in the sum of $4,000.
August c. Rohrey brings an action
against the Martins Ferry Terminal
Railway Company to recover S1200 dam
ages because the defendants cut down
the grade of the street in front of his
property, and thereby rendered his lot in
accessible. On the same grounds Au-
gusta, his wife, brings suit for $22OO
against the same company for damages
to her property.
Julia Green asks the court for $1,000
damages from w. H. Coss, Martins
Ferry saloon keeper, because in defiance
of her orders, the defendant sold liquor
to her husband, and caused her much
trouble, and lack of support, all her hus-
bands wages being spent for liquor.
In the case of Amy Gilmore against
Amanda Gilmore, the plaintiff asks di-
vorce from his wife on the ground of
drunkenness, neglect of duty and cruel
ty. Both parties to the action reside in
Martins Ferry.

Others. Divorce, on the grounds of adul
terry, drunkenness, and extreme cruelty.

Tragic Ending of a Picnic.

A merry picnic, Sunday afternoon, in
the country back of Wheeling had sad
and tragic ending. The party was com
posed of young Wheeling people, neigh
bors and close friends A young man,
who had been hunting squirrels, came by
and laid his gun down. Joe Fahey pick
ed up the gun, and asked its owner if it
was loaded. "No," said the latter, at is
not" Whereupon Fahey raised:the gun,
and pointing it toward a group near by,
pulled the trigger. Both barrels were
discharged. Sarah McGowan was shot
through the body, and died in few min
utes. George Witzel received many shot
in the head and face, and will lose one
eve. Katie Kinney, who was standing
behind these two, was slightly wounded.
Young Fahey gave himself up to the
authorities, and was almost distracted
with grief at his thoughtless act. Rumors
were current that the killing was due to
jealousy, but the jury found that it was
