Cow Gstting Drunk.

"Spealsing OF cows getting drunk
on buckeyes" says an Ohio man. II
have seen that quite frequently here
in Ohio. As soon as frost comes the
buckeyes fall and then the cows enjoy
them. IL is an acquired taste, as some
COWS can not be coaxed TO eat them.
As soon as the first is swallowed the
COW gets momentarily crazy and can
hardly be driven away from the tree
with a club. They will eat until they
fall under tree. Tho COW just gets
stupid and staggers around. and then
falls. Generally it takes two days to
get over such drunk

asked by Mckinley to withdraw Huber
from the post Office controversy. i. hap

that there has been trouble here
between the G. A. r. and the Order
of American Mechanics over the Decora-
ton Day services, and Mckinley is more
anxious than before to withdraw Huber,
as Huber is foreign born. Hence McKin-
ley drove over here a few days ago and
hunted up Huber, and made personal
appeal to Huber to withdraw. 1t is under

JEWELLERS In SESSION.
Interesting Meetings in Progress in
the Assembly Room.
Detailed Report Of the Proceedings of the
Ohio watohmakers and Jewellers As.
sooiation.

Following the reading of the minutes OF
the preceding annual meeting Of the Ohio
Watchmakers and Jewellers Association
yesterday afternoon, the president APP
pointed the following delegates as men,
bers Of the auditing committee, with in
structions to report this morning: d. w.
Smith, Alliance X. Gamenthaler, Roberts
vile and Charles b. Bargman, Toledo.
The new constitution, which differs
materially from the one first adopted was
read for the first time by Secretary Lohme
yer. The new constitution has numerous
additions in the way of bylaws and breaks
away from the United States Jewellers
Guild, of which this body has been mem.
Der for the past ten years. The objection
to being member of the Guild, seems to
be that majarity Of the members Of the
Ohio association are opposed to paying
dues and deriving no benefit from being
members. The Guild, however, has
numerous friends in the association and
considerable debating will probably
be INDUCED in when II comes to the pas
sing of the clause. The Assay committee
handed In their annual report. II was
adopted.
The gold, from the chains, which were
used in the assay tests, was presented to
Secretary Lohmeyer to be used in making
a watch charm for himself.
The National Retail Jeweler, Of Phila-
delphia, Mr.. S. A. Goodman, editor, was
made the official organ of the associa-
ton.
The secretary and treasurer read their
reports for the past year. The reports
were adopted.
The treasurer's report showed a bal
ance in the treasury of S7435.
The secretary's report showed 10 new
members added to the association during
the past year.
The reports demonstrated that the as
ISOLATION was hourishing one and in
first class condition.
Delegates from the National Retail
jewelers. Association which was organ
lied in Philadelphia fifteen months ago
are in attendance and an attempt is to be
made to have the Ohio association be-
come a member. Considerable opposi-
ton is raised on account of the Ohio asso-
citation being OF ten years standing, while
the other is Of only fifteen months stand
ing, and should the Ohio association be-
come a member it would be a minor
| organization. Mr.. Goodman, of Phila-
| delphia, is to address the members at one
| o'clock.
The morning session of the jewelers.
Convention was spent in adopting the
new constitution, which was adopted Sec
ton by section. Numerous changes were
made in the by laws.
This afternoon the convention assem-.
bled, and after listening to an address by
A. S. Goodman, president Of the National
Retail jewelers. Association, an adjourn.
ment was taken, and the entire party
were piloted out and shown through the
Dueber and Hampden shops.

pool with one of Mr.. McCrea's sample
wagons and desired TO cross the Ohio riv-
er. The horse and wagon were taken on
q ferry boat and were soon within q few
feet of the opposite shore. Mr.. Wilhelm
was seated in the wagon, when the horse
becoming frightened at the escaping
steam, began to back. An effort was
made to hold him, but he persisted in
backing and in n few moments horse
wagon, driver and samples were in the
river in confused mass. Mr.. Wilhelm
scrambled out as best he could and the
horse was rescued a few moments later.
1t was found upon examination that the
samples in the wagon were ruined. Mr.
Wilhelm brought the horse, wagon and
goods back to this city and is now drying
out after his impromptu plunge. The loss
on samples will approach 500.

Peter Seller Says the Increased Duty on
sumatra Tobacco Compels Him to Close
His Immense Embellishments.

The following from the Massillonian
will show the benefits derived from the
Mckinley bill at home;
Mr.. Peter Sailer, the veteran cigar man.
ufacturer of this city, in conversation with
q Massillonian reporter this morning,
said: "The last cigar which will be made
| In the Continental cigar factory will be
rolled tomorrow. This event would have
taken place several weeks ago had IL not
been for jobbing house in Denver, Colo
| RADIO, heproprietor of which is a personal
friend Of mine, who urged me TO fill an or
der of a special brand of cigars for him
after had arranged the date to quit the
manufacture of cigars"
1.-THE highest number of hands employ
ed by me during the time was engaged in
the cigar business in this city was PAP, and
the amount paid out In one week or
days for such help was $1,000. Cigar
makers have earned as high as S25 per
week, and women as much as S18 per week
while employed by me. In the year 1884 1
sold and shipped to jobbers and dealers
over eight million cigars"
Mr.. Sailer was asked the reason for his
cigars, after being engaged in the business
for more than quarter OF century, and
which had grown to such enormous pro-
portions. He replied: "For two reasons,
which are easily explained. First, my
trade is almost exclusively with large job
bing houses, and was for fine goods. The
increased duty recently imposed on Sum-
atra tobacco, which Is required for this
class of cigars, by the Mckinley bill, is 81
per pound. 1t requires three and three
quarters pound of said wrappers for each
1000 cigars, which is $3.50, and to this is
added SO internal revenue tax, making the
total amount Of tax paid on each 1000
cigars S1O.50. The jobbing trade
will not stand this increase per thousand
and consequently must either lose the
trade or the $40 on every thousand cigars
SO sold.
"Another reason is on account of the
heavy losses which have sustained in the
past two years from bad accounts Mr..
Sailer here opened his books to the re-
porter and showed him the profit and loss
account, which showed that from bad
accounts, business failures, etc, he has
lost in the past two years 1888 60.
"For the reasons above mentioned
have determined to quit the business.
Otherwise l should have continued for
several years longer, after which should
have retired from active business life and
turned over to my sons the entire man.
agement of the business, which in past
years has been so profitable TO me.
have refused within the last week to fill
an order for 10000 cigars, from western
jobbing house. for fine brand on which
Sumatra wrappers are used. on account
OF the increased duty of $3.50 for every
thousand cigars in which that kind Of
tobacco is used, imposed by the Mckinley
bill, and which the jobbers refuse to pay"
