Lift Your Hat.

An exchange has the following, the senti-
ment of which we heartily endorse:
cliff your hat reverently when you meet
the taacher of the primary school. She is the
GOOD angel of the republic. She takes the lit
tie bantIing, fresh from the home nest and
full of his pouts and his passions-an 1n-
aoyernable little wretch, whose own mother
honestly admits she sends him to school to
qet rid of him. This young lady who knows
her business, takes whole car load Of these
anarchists, half of whom, single handed and
alone are more than match for both their
parents, and at once puts them in the way, OF
being useful and upright citizens. AT what
most responsible position in the whole
school, and if her salary were doubled she
would receive less than she earns"

Good Advice.

When your life or your health is in danger,
the best advice you can possibly get is that
which will lead You to procure the proper
remedies for preserving the same. The man
who appreciates health the most is the man
who has had the most sickness. Saur d Balls
ley have understood this fact we'll for many
years and they make special efforts to always
be in the market for everything which is new
and reliable in the line Of medicines. At this
season of the year when everybody is troub-
led more or less with coughs, colds or catarrh
in the head they carry very large stock OF
all the best and most popular cough remedies,
such as have been most thoroughly tested and
can be relied on as containing the most cura-
tive properties. A large number Of the cough
remedies sold at this house are warranted to
give satisfaction and to cure, so that one
takes no risk in buying them.

Must Serve IL Months in the Peniten-
tiary.


The jury in the case of the State of Ohio VS..
Grant Warner returned a verdict OF guilty
of obtaining horse unlawfully."
A resume of the.crime is as follows: About
two months ago. Grant Warner with Herd
Shank and s. l.. Hubbard opened negotia-
tions with Henry Weimer to exchange mare,
worth, they claimed, $3.50, for roam colt OF
the same value owned by Mr.. Weimer. 1t
was promised by the trio that after three
days, Shank would relieve him of the mare at
that price should he so desire. Wishing to
sell his colt for $3.50, Weimer made the trade
seeing in the trade an equivalent sale at his
terms, after three days. No sooner was the
deal perfected than the colt was taken to parts
unknown, and Weimer waited in vain for the
tardy Shank to appear and take of his hands
an old mare, which evidence proved was
worth but $25. at the fancy price Of $3.50.
Weimer had the three arrested and the case
was tried before Squire Trsssler. who bound
them over to Common Pleas Court. mo
tion for a new trial was overruled and SEN
tence Of one year at hard labor in the pen
| given.

Last Thursday night the school house in
district No. s, taught by Ray Hoy, was dis
covered to be on fire. Thel door was brok-
en- open and by hard labor the building was
saved. In this as in other school houses IN
the country, it is the custom to fill the stove
with wood at night to obviate starting fire
in the morning. The denoument in this case
is a hole in the floor 12x12, ruined seats anc
other damages aggregating $500. Still nont
are to be censured as the fire was due soiel!

insured and the company will adjust al

Isaac D. Smead of Toledo was before the
commissioners Monday exhibiting the merits
of his system of heating. Whether the COM
missioners adopt this orsany other system,
it is a recognized fact that the present ap-
paratus for heating the court house must CO.
The sheriff's residence and jail, beneath

house the floor and wood work is nearly
