IMPROVEMENT. THE PROMISE OF
i CURE.-No array Of words can give a
dyspeptIc one-half the hope that comes from
the relief which always follows the use of
Burdock Blood Bitters, and the promise of
cure is never broken.
Having suffered from dyspepsia for two
or three years, 1 decided to try p. B., and
after taking one bottle 1 found myself so
much better got another bottle, and after
taking that had no more need of medicine.
MRS. G. c. WHITE, Taberg, n. Y"
Don't pay for daily bread and then groan
with dyspepsia when bottle of B. B. B. will
give you relief. Repeated tests with uniform
success prove that dyspepsia cannot with

Arrested as a Spy.

A Belmont county boy has been getting
himself distinguished by being arrested
as spy, as the following dispatch
from Berlin, Germany, will show:
Gan American, giving his name as
Carlton Graves, stating his business to be
that of photographer, and his address
as Columbia" was arrested to-day at
Mayence, charged with being spy. In
default of more definite information, and
in view of the fact that Mr.. Graves gave
his occupation as photographer, it is pre-
sumed that he may have been kodaking
the Notifications of Mayence."
Mr.. Graves is the son of Robert Graves,
of Barnesville. He has been in the en-
ploy of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and
has been engaged in taking views of that
great thoroughfare, but was recently
granted vacation, when he went to Eu-
rope. 1t is presumed by his friends here
that he simply violated some of the laws
in regard to photographing Notifications,
and that his Imprisonment is not seri
Gus matter.

council,s Monthly Meeting.

The regularly recurring session of our
town fathers, that comes each moon,
came as usual Monday night. All of the
Councilmen were present, but one. Two
ordinances, the one relating to certain
franchises of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company, and the other providing
for municipal juries were put through
their final reading, and passed.
The bills were ordered paid. Among
them were several small bills, aggregat-
ing about S11S, for the material and con-
struction of the new board walk leading
to the B. and o. depot. The bill Right
ing the streets during May, June and
July was ordered paid. 1t amounted to
S2S9.61.

Big Rally at Bridgeport

That keen thinker, brilliant orator,
and vigorous campaigner, Hon. Lorenzo
Danford, after silence of eleven years,
last week again took the stump, opening
with an address before the Republican
club at Bridgeport. Under the ordinary
blunders of the Democracy, Captain
Danford could keep quiet, but when the
party passes blundering, and goes in for
measures absolutely unpatriotic and in
iquitous, he can no longer hold his peace.
His speech at Bridgeport was character
lied by all his old-time energy, by logic
and by eloquence. His wide and thor
ough familiarity with the subject of
coinage we'll adapts him for the discuss
ion of this subject.
1t is the hope of all Republicans of the
county that this is only the first of
series of speeches during this campaign
by Captain Danford.

THEY WERE CONVERTED.

Four Democrats Visit Canada and Become
Protectionists.
DIR. L. III. Green, of Mt. Vernon, who
was here last week attending the funeral
of Mrs. Tallman, during a call at this of
flee related as a. matter of personal OBJ
servation, the story of the conversion of
four Democratic Holmes county farmers
to the cause OF protection. Four farmers
from that Democratic neck of the woods,
and all ex-Union soldiers, were attend
ing the late g. A. r. Encampment at De-
troit. They fell in company with anoth-
er comrade from the same locality, and
the five proposed to go across the river
into Windsor, Canada. 1t thappened that
the latter addition to their ranks was a
Republican. While walking along the
streets in Windsor, they came to wool
warehouse, where wool was being deliv-
cred. Being wool growers themselves,
and naturally interested, they stopped.
They examined the quality of the wool,
and finding it equal to their own wool,
inquired the price paid. The dealer said
he paid II cents for that. Upon one of
the Democrats expressing surprise at the
low price, and saying that Ohio wool
brought 28 and 30 cents, the dealer re-
torted, 80, you have tariff on wool,
which makes yours IL cents higher.
This opened the eyes of the Democrats,
who had been led by Democratic papers
to believe that Canadian wool was as
high as protected wool, and they came
home and avowed their intention to vote
for Mckinley, because they did not be-
lieve in any policy that would make IL
cent wool.

views of the citizens of that place rela-
tive,to the division of its voting precincts,
The Board met at st. Clairsville on
Thursday morning, and took up the mat
ter of dividing the four precincts IN the
county, which have over five hundred
voters, and must therefore, under the
new law, be divided. The fourth ward
of BeIlaire was divided as follows: All

east of the above pixies was made into
the eastern Precinct"
There was trouble about the division
of Bridgeport and st. Clairsyille, and no
agreement could be reached. The Re-
publican members by their superior sa-
gacity and knowledge of the law, got
their way, certifying the matter to the
Probate Court. The latter made the fol
lowing division:
Bridgeport was cut up into three voting
places All that part of the town south
of the creek made one. All that portion
between the creek and the Harrisville
pike to the run at the north end of the
town. made the second. The third in
cluded that part of the town which lies
between the Harrisville pike and the
Martins Ferry precinct. Rlchland town.
ship was divided according to the Repub-
lican ideas. The fifteen sections on the
west side are to constitute the first pre-
cinct. The National pike is to divide the
rest of the township into two precincts,
the north side to be number two, and the
south side number three.
Hon. w. n. COwden, representing the
Champion Iron Company, of Kenton, o.,
was present, and the booths were pur-
chased from him. One hundred and
eighty-five will be required, ard they are
to be made of metal, half-round, six feet
six inches high, thirty-two inches wide,
white inside and black outside. They
are to be shipped direct to the different
points, and will cost the county about
S1O25.
Advertising for bids for the printing
of ballots and necessary blanks was pro-
vided for and the Clerk was instructed
to purchase fifty sets of poll books and
tally sheets, and to advertise that the pre-
cincts were divided as above.
