Firemen's Efforts.

All the available hose in the city was
brought into service. aRd 1t is estimated
that at one time IS, 900 feet of hose was
in use. Besides the fremen's streams
there were others from the plugs In the
neighborhood. The only use of the Fire
Department was in keeping the flames
from spreading to Tuchton's cooper shop
and in saving the houses on the other
side of Hsald street. AS far as the saving
of the mills was concerned they might as
well have made the attempt with a
garden hose. The fremen fought well
and gsllantly and their efforts were we'll
dirested, but they were simply powerless

SINCE the free coinage plank was in
corporated in the Democratic platform
at the late State Convention, Hon. M
D. Harter, Congressman-elect from
Mansfield, has been persistent in his
denunciation of that feature of the plat
form. He has lost no opportunity OF
declaring his disapprobation of the free
coinage craze. He has given this fallacy
so many hard whacks in studied inter
views that the Democracy are becoming
seriously alarmed. They have tried to
silence him but failed. The only way
they can cause him to cease talking is to
forcibly gag him. His course is ex-
ceedingly annoying to them, and in the
campaign they see still less of harmony
and more of less preferable commodity
darkening the horizon. 1t is really sad,
but with the wicked, 'tis ever thus.

The Parent of Insomnia

The parent of insomnia or wakeful-
ness is in nine cases out of ten dys-
peptic stomach; good digestion gives
sound sleep, indigestion interferes with
it; the brain and stomach sympathizes;
one of the prominent symptoms of a
weak state of the gastie organs is dis
turbance of the great nerve entrepot, the
brain; inivgorate the stomach, and you
restore equilibrium to the great. centre;
a most reliable medicine for the purpose
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which is
far preferable to sedatives and powerful
narcotics which, though they may for a
time exert soporitic influence upon the
brain, soon cease to act, and invariably
lnJure the stomick; the Bitters, on the
contrary, restore activity to the opera
tlons of that all-important organ, and
their benficent influence is reelected in
sound sleep and tranquil state of the
nervous system; wholesome impetus is
likewise given to the action Of the liver
and bowels by its use. S-6-4w

An EPIDEMIC of Bloody Flux.

Last summer the flux. ragged here to a
fearful extent; about five miles north of

were five victims of this dreadful disease
buried in one day; the doctors could do
nothing with the disease; when my FAM
lily were taken, went to Walter Brothers
of Waltersburg, and told them the stu
alton; they said: Give Chamberlain s
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy;
that they had sent out several hundred
bottles into the infected district, and
''every day we hear how this medicine is
curing them; so far we have not heard
of its failing in single instance" 1

good effects, and cure was the result;

relief, but on the other hand creates
distrust, depression and uneasiness.
Men of enterprise and capital steer clear
of the State. These reformers have not
nut a hammer or wheel in motion or
induced a dollar or an immigrant to
come to the State. The people who
have their all invested here are anxiously
waiting and hoping the alliance craze
may come to an end.
believe that the rank and file OF the
alliance are honest, but their leaders are
demagogues pure and simple. They
know that financial confidence and pros
perity mean death to them and their
sub treasury scheme. Business stagna-
ton, failures, ruin and crop failures are
their stock in trade.
According to their story the Repub-
lican party commits all the crime that is
committed in the State, even to the
numbering of the picturesque Sam Wood,
and trying to poison the great painless
orator of the prairies on circus lemonade.
The ex-Union soldier would better
steer clear of these sub-treasury re-
formers, for if the people put them in
power and they get their sub-treasury
greenback- to running they will
print and pay the pensioner in a worth
less and deprecated currency, and by
that time you will be too old to kick.
There are but two ways to get rid OF
mortgage indebtedness; either pay the
debt or surrender the mortgaged prop
erty. If these bowling reformers would
cease and give the people time and op-
portunity to recuperate from the reckless
extravaganza of boom times and crop
failures, they would pay all that is worth
paying for and the worthless would 60
by the board The financial atmospher e
of the State would be cleared, confidence
restored and prosperity would again
come to us.
If the people of this State who are in
the mire of extravagant debt can pull
themselves together and out of the mire,
with these bowling reformers on their
backs, they will be entitled to the praise
and admiration of the world. Under
alliance agitation capital and immigra-
ton have ceased to flow into the State,
and all the people engaged in CONNER
cial pursuits are holding on and trying
to weather the storm.
l trust and hope that the alliance of
Ohio may not be able to pull the COM
mercial interests of the State into the
vortex of uncertainty as they have done
in Kansas. 1 beg to remain your
comrade J. L. G.

THE PEOPLES PARTY.

The Peoples Party Convention al
Springfield, last week, was rather an
unique affair. 1t was made up of the
odds, ends, and tags of all parties. They
resolved, as all other conventions of like
character have done, against almost
everything tangible. But this conven-
ton did something new and surprising
in reference to the liquor question. On
that point they really advanced some
new ideas. The platform says:
1--WE believe that the solution of the liquor prob
lem lies in aboishing the elements of profit which
is source of constant temptation and evil; and we
therefore demand that the exclusive importation
expectation manufacture and sale of all spirituou:
liquors shall be conducted by the Government ol
State at cost through agencies and saaried officials
in such towns and cities as shall apply for suct
agencies
OF course the railroads, telegraphs
and all other forms of communication
must be placed in the hands of the
government, and in addition to that
the government is asked to go into the
whisky business. My, how the civil
service commission would be worked to
pass on the qualifications of applicants
as bar tenders. This party has been
charged with "6oosting' many prepos-
ferrous schemes, but this exceeds all
others.
John Seitz, the nominee for Governor,
is well known as a former Democrat,
Greenback, and Union Laborite and a
general political scalawag. Frank Rist,
the Lieutenant Governor, is an ex-Cin-
cinnati saloon-keeper. The action of
the whole convention is such that no
one can take it as meaning anything
Were all their schemes put into opera
ton, anarchy would result. Seitz has
frequently been before the people and
is generally known as man of harum-
scarum notions, and without force or
influence Republican need be
alarmed about the Peoples Party doing
any damage. The people of the State
of Ohio are not crazy.

SHORT SERMON IN FIGURES.

SHORT SEhMON LIN GOhCo'
New York Press.
The contest between Mr.. Claus Spreck-
els and the sugar trust has emphasized
the benefits that the people of the United
States enjoy from the free sugar clause
of the Mckinley bill. Granulated sugar
is selling to-day from the Spreckels re-
fineries at cents per pound, with pei
cent. off for cash, making the price
really 1892 cents. The trust has closely
followed the Spreckels price. In August
1889, granulated sugar was selling at 81
cents. When the Mckinley bill went
into effect it was selling at 6a cents.
For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1890, we imported nearly 3,000,000,00O
pounds of sugar. The difference of q
cents in price represents yearly saving
to the American people of S75,0OO,OOO.
Every housekeeper in America saves
a small part of this enormous sum.
The tariff on sugar was purely a
revenue tariff. 1t was levied not for
protection, but for income. The Re-
publican party promised to reduce the
surplus revenue, and the greatest cut
was made on this prime necessity of life.
The sugar trust, as well as every Demo
cratic organ in the country, opposed it.
The Mills bill, as passed by the Demo
cratic House of of Representatives, re-
tanned the high tariff on sugar. Ask
your Democratic neighbor which party
ha now thinks WAS right

STRAPPED" IN TWO SENSES.

"STRAPPED" IN TWO SENSES.
Brunswick Advertiser
A Georgia railway conductor was
about fifty miles from Atlanta when he
found tramp on his train. He took
him back to the cab and demanded his
fare. OF course the tramp had no mon
ey, and reaching to the end of the bell
cord the conductor proceeded to use it
on him.
"There, now," he said, 81 have hit you
one cut for every mile to the next sta
tion, and you can ride that far"
After the next station the tramp was
found serenely sitting on box in the
corner of the cab
He still had no money, but he mildly
intimated that he was ready to pay that
stations fare in the same way the first
had been paid. The conductor assented,
and fairly tiptoed to his work, the bell
cord playing lively tune.
Between every station the same per-
formance was repeated, and as they
pulled in to Atlanta the conductor said !:
"Well, old boy, you've got more grit
than anything l ever saw, and any
time you want to ride on my train on
the same sort of ticket just come on"
That's all right, cap" was the cheer
full reply; 81 rode from Atlanta to Ma
con once in the lion cage of John Robin
sons circus, and wasn't to be downed
by any cOnsumptive conductor and bell
rope"
