What We May Expect in June.

Prof. Hicks has just issued his bill Of fare
for June. The Professor evidently thinks
we are fond of this damp, disagreeable
weather, with hail storm attachments, and
cyclone springs of the latest design, and has
ordered quite lot for June distribution.
We start into June with storm and a
warm wave, reaching the highest notch on
the 9Th and 7th. On the 10th we will have
more stormy weather, which will last until
the 18th. The crisis of these storms will be
reached about the new moon, and il will be
we'll to keep an eye on that body. From the
18th to the 21st we may expect about every
thing earthquakes, electrical displays and
storms Of more or less severity.
These storms go east and are due on their
return trip about the 25th. About the 25th
we pass the turning point in our trip around
the sun and start for shorter days and longer
nights. Storms will accompany us on the
journey. Cooler weather succeeds these
storms, and regions short on water at this
time will have to contend with serious
drought.
Reactionary storms are due the Goth, with
full moon and the equinox Of Mercury on
the same day. This will cause hot wave
to pass over us, resulting in severe electrical
storms and heavy local rains. The month
ends with very cool weather tapping over
iuto July.

REPAIR THOSE WALKS!
SlsEs Of Sidewalk Resolutions

pension Of Rules.

Monday evening was regular council
meeting date and Messrs. Woke, Oahill,
Samse. Reiser and Orwig, Mayor Meekison
and Clerk Reynolds were present.
Bills were allowed amounting to &34s,
chief among which was that in favor of W.

of the Electric Light Co. were laid over un-
til next meeting, the finance committee be-
ing unwilling to endorse until more thor
oughly investigated.
MFR. CahIll introduced load of sidewalk
resolutions which, we think, includes every
crippled walk in town. The resolutions
were for either repair of old or construction
of new walks, and upon motion of Samse
rules were suspended and the whole lot
placed upon second and third readings and
passed. The property abutting sidewalks
designated will be given thirty days in
which to comply with the requirements, then
the street commissioner will perform the
work. the cost to be placed on the duplicate.
]. G. Groll asked the o,uncil to again con.
slider the advisability of putting in CROSS

with the result that street commissioner
Market was ordered to construct a walk
across Gary street at its junction with the
Bryan pike.
On his request Mr.. Groll was given per.
mission to straiehten channel of creek north

commissioners for new bridge.
Council adjourned until Wednesday even

ASTONISHING

Is the Growth and Hold or theSTo-
bacco Habit.
Much Has been sal d of the curses of in
temperance, the use of opiates, etc., while
another evil, greater because it is more
widespread and quiet in it's deadly results.
has been ignored. We have reference to the
tobacco habit, to which the public mind is
being slowly aroused. Tobacco in any form
is injurious. At first it is used sparinRly,
but the desire grows until at length habit
has been formed. demand has been GREAT
ed which can not be thrown off except by
the exercise of the greatest will power.
The growth of this habit is one of the
alarming developments of the age. Such a
large percentage Of the men of today use
tobacco in one form or other that the prac-
tice may be said to be almost universal.
Out of 5000 men not over 400 will be found
who are free from it, while boys not out of
their teens stand around on the streets
chewing and smoking with as much gusto
as an adulf.
The evils which follow the use of tobacco
are many and very serious. Few habitues
will confess the truth until when their sys-
tenn is broken down and completely wreck
ed, they are unable to make further con-
cealment. The nerves become shattered,
sleepiess nights, impaired eyesight, dis

heert, throat trouble, facial neuralgia,
catarrh and paralysis are almost certain to
follow the excessive use of the weed.
1t is not uncommon to hear men acknowi-
edge their inability to reform and thus they
drift along towards an early grave. DR.. Hill,
a man of great penetration, soon discovered
this evil and after years of patient, continu-
ous research and experiments, gave to the
world his celebrated Chloride of Gold Tab
let's, one of the greatest blessings known to
modern therapeutics. These Tablets are
endorsed by the medical fraternity and
prescribed by physicians in their regular
practice. They are sure cure for the to-
bacco habit in any form and are pleasant
and harm ess in their composition. The
patient is not required to exercise his will
power, but continues his old habits until he
rejoices in the discovery that his appetite
is gone and he has been rescued from his
periIous position. Write to the Ohio Chem .

Graphic Picture Of the Human Beings
That Frequent the Alkali Works.
The aIkali works go on all the year
round, day and night, Sundays and week

chief seats Of the manufacture If you
have fancy for knowing how that part of
the world lives which serves the industry
that Lord Beacopsfeld used as his trade
barometer, you will do well to gain admit
tance to the strange and lurid scene where
the prodigious processes are carried on.
BY the glow of furnaces and the wavering
light Of an occasional gas jet, you make out
bit by bit rough picture of uncouth euild-
ings, gaunt frameworks of timber, ominous
looking lead chambers looming overhead
and a general confusion of towers, plat
forms, revolving and stationary furnaces,
great caldrons where the caustic glows a
sullen red, threatening looking tanks full
of corrosive liquids and other strange half
animate monsters which beset you as you
| pick your way along narrow planks or up
stairs half eaten away with acid.
I There are figures moving about the place,
| wheeling barrows up the plank, standing
at the furnace mouth, tanning the whitehot
mass within, welding huge ladies at the
caustic pots, raking, straining and laboring
In a terrific heat and glareand amid sicken-
ing fumes. A man steps back from the fur
mace now and again and lowers the muffier
from his mouth to gasp more freely In the
chill air, and you can see his face, arms and
chest shining with the sweat.
Figures are to be seen by day which are
scarcely recognizable as men, with great
goggles over their eyes and huge protuber-
ances of flannel corded over their mouths
and necks. These are the men who pack
the bleaching powder. The powder packer,
his feet incased in thick wooden clogs and
his legs in brown paper CATERS, steps into
the chlorine chamber, shovels the bleach
