EVERY lady who wants a pretty
and useful ornament for her dresser
should read David Chadwicks' adj
vertisement Among many other
attractive and useful features Mr..
Chadwick VIII soon add japanese
department to his store.
A STRETCHING of rope by about
half dozen of these cranks who are
busy shooting people and escaping
on the lunacy dodge would cure a
few hundred other lunatics who
somehow are not so luny but that
they know what hanging means.
E SHIsLER was presented with the
pelt of wild cat by Charlie Hussing
Monday. The hide is now on exhi-
bition in Shisler's store. If you never

IT WOULD be well for parents to
remember that the beginning of
cold weather is when scarlet fever
assumes its most dangerous form.
A good mother was overheard to
say: I'm not afraid OF my little
ones catching scarlet fever now,
cold weather's coming" For the
love of your children don't relax
your care of them, for now is when
the disease is more liable to result
fatally
IT HAS been discovered by drug
gist that electricity from an ordin-
airy battery such as is to be found
in almost every physicians office
when applied to an inebriated indi-
vidual, speedily sobers him, the cleo
trio current dispelling the effects of
the alcoholic poisoning instantly,
and better than settler and lemon
A few applications of the moistensd
sponges upon the poles of the cleo
trical machine, and the sponges APP
piled to the feet and base of the skull,
the current turned on, and your
man is instantly as good as new.
Mrs. MARY MYERS, of South Bend,
Indiana, who has been visiting her
brother, VIM. Hege, for some time,
met with painful accident that will
deprive her Of the use of her left arm
for quite time She was walking
on the outside of the house Sunday
morning when she slipped and fell
to the ground, striking forcibly on
her arm, breaking both bones in the
member. Surgical attention was at
once procured and necessary atten-

permanent injury.
LOUISVILLE had a postoffice right
along until the last administration
gave way to Opekiskian importantly
and had it abolished. But now it is
to be established again, and large
clientele of good citizens will not
have to cross the river in all kinds
Of weather for mail. The re estab-
list ment of the office will come
about in a few days. All the nee
essary details to that end have been
accomplished James Hood has been
recommended for postmaster, and it
will not be long till the fact of his
being qualified to put p. M. after
his name will make many people
glad.
A WEATHER prognosticator of con
siderable local celebrity has issued
his proclamation for the coming
winter, which he saws will be terror
with deep SHOWS and cold weather
He bases his predictions on natural
signs He says the meadow moles
are burrowing deeper this year than
for the last thirty years. The"melt'
of the hog is whittier than common,
which means much snow and ice.
The hair on the horses fetlocks is
longer and thicker than common
The squirrels are laying up bigger
stores Of food than usual; corn husks
are remarkably thick, as are the on
ion skins. There is more moss on
the hickory saplings and spruce
trees, which is a sure sign. The
goose bone says the same thing, and
the pin feathers on chickens are
more numerous than for many wears.
JAMES F. SNYDER has been appoin-
ted foreman of teams and stringing
Of pipes for the new line now being
built from here east He is now at
Morgan's tunnel, to where pipe is
being shipped, the laying being
nearer there now than. here. He
will proceed from place to place as it
is found most advantageous to which
to ship pipe as the line proceeds.
The new position is one which brings
into service the best managerial
qualities, of which Mr.. Snyder is
well endowed. He will be with the
company till the line reaches Cum
berland. 1t will take till spring to
finish it to that point. The force of
pipe stringers under Mr.. Snyder Is
followed by the excavators, and
