THE law does not impose impossible
tiles upon the Commissioners in the
matter of expenditures-that is they can
not spend money, if they have none to
spend. In many cases the expenditure
of money is not optional with the
Board, but is rendered obligatory by the
petition of few persons constituting a
majority in a community. If there is
no money in that particular fund then
the demand has no force as long as
there is no money in the fund. Now
the bridge fund is $109, 900 in debt, yet
there are constant calls upon that flu nd
The Commissioners can not respond to
these calls, even though they have nc
option, if they have no money, and the
expenditures must cease until the pres
ent levy will meet the demand. In
order to make the check on these de.
mands effective, the sentiment of the
people seems to be agaist an increase in
either the county or bridge levy. The
present Board of Commissioners may
have to undergo some hardships on &C
count of condition for which they art
not responsible, but the people seem de-
termined to have no increase in taxes.

A DISPATCH from this place in the
Columbus Journal of Sunday says that
it it now probable that Belmont county
will have but one candidate for Con-
grassional honors. and that in the person
of Hon. J. w. Nichols. The dispatch
further states that Nichols will have the
support of Monroe county; and in addi-
ton to Belmont and Monroe, it will re-
quire only ten more votes to nominate
him. This is probably about the truth
of the situation. We have several gen.
tlemen in this county who are worthy
aspirants for the honor of representing
this district in Congress, but it is under
stood that none of them will push their
claims, and Nichols will be given the
solid support of this county. This
makes him by all odds the leading
candidate, and will go far to secure his
nomination. With such support at his
back, Nichols will make brilliant and
aggressive fight, and only by combina-
ton of all the other counties could his
nomination be circumvented.

A DISPATCH from Steubenville to the
Cleveland Leader imparts the startling
information, that it has just transpired
that Belmont county will not place a
candidate in the field for the Congress
ional nomination, because Belmont
county has received so much at the
hands of the State administration.
Well, what has the State administration
got to do with the nominations for
Congress in this district anyway? That
brilliant (?) mind that penned that dis
patch will learn that Belmont county
her 63 votes for him, and furthermore,
will expect to nominate him.

THE bill introduced during the last
session of the Legislature by Hon. A. T.
McKelvey, providing for the establish
ment in Eastern Ohio of an asylum, was
last week brought up again in the
present Assembly and passed. About
twenty counties are included in the dis
trict for which the asylum is to be
erected. Belmont being one of these,
the matter should.be stirred up, and the
claims of this county as a location
urged. By the bill the Governor is au-
thorized to appoint a commission to
select location. This commission
should hear from Belmont county.

She Knows How to Economic.

Some thrifty suggestions made by
a woman whose silvered head attests
her years of experience are, first, use
for the scraps of soap left in the toilet
dishes when a fresh cake is taken.
These she gathers and preserves care
fully, and when the accumulation is
sufficient puts them, with a very little
water to moisten the mass, into tin
kept for the purpose. 1t is then set on
the stove and melted slowly and when
little cool nodded in balls for sec
ond use. GAS l buy the best and
purest soap can get" she says, 'it
pays to utilize the scraps"
The buying of the purest soap is, by
the way, a text for paragraph by it.
self. It has been demonstrated be-
yond doubt by competent authorities
that cheap soaps are responsible for
serious skin diseases. Unscented soaps
of reliable make are the safest to use
for children, especially whose delicate
skin is susceptible to the impurities
often found in other sorts.
A second good suggestion from the
same source is use for mosquito net
ting after it has done duty on bars or
as a bed canopy. OF it excellent wash
and dish cloths may be made. The
netting should be folded several times,
six or eight at least, and the square
made considerably larger than desired,
as the material shrinks a great deal.
The thicknesses are then to be quilted
in long stitches and at wide intervals
with wide darning cotton, the edges
turned in, where they are not folded,
and the article is ready. If the netting
is colored toss the cloths into the boil
er before using, and boil out the dye.
The wearing quality of these netting
cloths is almost unexcelled, while the
loose mesh makes them very satisfact-
ory to use.-N. Y Times.

A Canine Economist.

Bruce was farmers dog-a large
bulldog well along in years kept
for the good he had done rather than
for what was expected of him in the
future. But the following incident,
related by a son of Bruce's owner,
shows that he was not past usefulness:
One morning in the early winter the
farmers good wife awoke to hear the
wind bowling terribly and to see the
snow flying all about the house. 1t
was but the work of a moment to run
to the window, and we think all good
housewives will sympathize with the
poor woman when we say of all the
clothes she had left on the line the day
before not an article was in sight! We
will not attempt to picture her con-
sternation, but we will say that the
old farmer himself was soon out in the
snow. While zealously engaged in the
snow searching whine from Bruce
drew his attention.
AS this was something unusual he
fastened to where the dog was lying
in the snow and there found the miss
ing clothes. AS they had been blown
from the line-it was so high that he
could not reach them-the dog had
collected them, not missing a single
piece, and using them as bed and
prevented further fight.-M. Y. Id
