Uproarious laughter followed, which
was some minutes In subsiding, after
which the speaker proceed in more
earnest vein, in which he alluded to
the cardinal principles of the order, the
commendable spirit manifest in its aims
and the appreciation in which such an
institution should be held in COM
munity. Capt. Davis followed in one
of his happy efforts, which are always
10 the point and opportune. Among
other things he said he had lived long

twenty-one years. and was proud to be
enrolled rs a Nirginian. DR.. A. +.
Cox, Geo. Uh!er and James w. Shinn
were successfully called on for speeches,
and each responded in q few pointed
remarks. DIR. Cox then moved a vote
of thanks he rendered Mr.. Brengle for
the satisfactory manner in which he
performed his part of the pro-
gramme, and that having been
regarded as unanimous verdict
from the beginning, the company ad-
journed, after Rev. Mr. Carson had re-
turned thanks to the Giver of all for the
blessings which had been so much en-
joyed. The Knights Of Honor has long
since become one of the institutions OF
this country. The order was organized
about 20 years ago as a fraternal and
beneficial institution for the mutual
benefit of its members, to promote be-
neyolence and charity by establishing
a widow and orphans benefit fund,
from which, Oh the satisfactory evil

claimed, only about one-fourth demand

One of the members said in his speech.
the money collected does not go TO swell

To Get Good Roads.

This is the season of the year when great
deal of talk is INDUCED in on the question of
road making and the Cleveland Plain Deal
er says that the way to get get good roads is
to make them. The way to make them is to
engage the services of a co petent engineer
and purchase good materials with which he
can make road scientifically. This will
cost money. 1t must be understood that
good roads cannot be had without costing
something, but although they take more
money at the start they are much more
economical in the end. They will require
smaller annual outlay to keep them in good
order and the farmer will be able to take
larger loads to market and get there with
much less expenditure of time and horse
flesh. In roads, as in most things, the best
is the cheapest and the cheapest is not the
best. A great mistake will be made if the
general government is looked to by those
desirous of having an improvement of the
roads. Once let it be understood that Con-
gress is to do something in the matter and
the local interests will be inclined to let
Congress do all. Then we may have few
miles of costly roads and all the rest in
worse condition than ever. Education in
elf-help is what is needed most.

SCHOOL QUESTIONS.
Two InCipient Measures That are Al
ready in Trouble.

AS the Workman school bill does not take
effect until next April, an effort is being
made to repeal it before that cate. Mr.. Hass
presented a petition from John Courtright,
president of the Walnut township, Pickaway
county, board of education, asking for the re-
peal of the law. Much formidable opposi-
ton is being developed to the measure.
The bill of Senator Beebe, passed by the
Senate and now in the House, providing that
the State School Commissioner shall furnish
a list of questions to be sent to and used by
county boards of examiners, is under sus-
pension.
Some DOUBT exists whether the present
county boards are legal. In the light of a
recent decision of the courts it may be re-
garded that the members of these boards are
county officers, whom the constitution re-
quires to be elected. They are now appointed
by the probate courts. If it is settled that
they are county officers within the meaning
of the constitution of course provisions will
be made fo- their election. If they may be
appointed, however, the bill will probably
be so amended as to give the appointing
power to the State School Commissioner or
the State Board of Examiners.
There is, also, demand for reduction
of the members from three to two and re-
duction of examinations annually from
eighteen to ten. Examiners are paid So per
day and cost $4,000 per annum.
Provision will also be made for appeal
from county boards to State boards when
the former decide on the question whether
certificate be granted, and it is also pro-
posed to make a certificate granted by the
board of one county valid in all other coun-
ties.

COLDWATER CASE.
Another Claim Of $SOO,OOO Puts in an
Appearance.

Judge John McCauley and N. l.. Brewer
were called to Mansfield on business con-
nected with the famous Coldwater case, s. B.
Sturges VS. the Mansfield, Coldwater and
Lake Michigan railroad company, which
was called before the Circuit court in that
city on Tuesday.
The attorneys for Swan, Rose & Co. filed
motion asking that they be made parties
to the defense. They wers originally part
of tie defense, but for some reason lapsed.
Now they come in and ask over $4,000
The argument on the motion lasted several
hours and at O'Clock in the afternoon Judge
Albaugh delivered the decision of the court,
overruling the motion. Exceptions were
taken and the bearing of the case proceeded.
The Shield in reporting the case, says:
1t is doubtful if there has been in Mans,
held IN many years such an AIRY of foreign
legal talent as there is now attending circuit
court and interested in the Coldwater case,
Among the prominent attorneys present
from abroad are the following: Rush Tag

Harrison, of Columbus; Judge Moses Dick
ey. of Cleveland; 8. r. Harris, of Eucyrus,

rhree Imnortant Measures.

Three important bills governing county
and other officials has been presented before
the Ohio Legislature by Senator McMakin.
The first prohibits county and municipal
officers, their deputies, clerks of employees,
from discounting or being interested di-
rectly or indirectly in any order, bills, ac-
counts, fee or salary. The penalty for vic
lation of the provisions of the measure is
dismissal from Office and one years ineligi-
bility to any Office or trust. The second bill
seeks to amend section 6135 of the revised
statues SO that Jury may render judg-
ment OF $20.000 for death by accident in a
suit for damages by the next kin. The
maxium under existing law is $4,000. The
third provides that all the principal and
interest of all bonds issued by county
must be made payable at the Office of the
county treasurer and that payments on
municipal bonded debt must, in the same
way. be paid at the office Of the municipal
treasurer.

Good Health,

Good health is the greatest blessing which
the human family can have or enjoy. This
being fact every one should take the best
possible care to preserve it, and this is not
hard to do as one might think especially
when you have access to such large drug and
medicine houses as that of Saur & Balsley
where you can find almost any and every
drug and medicine known to the medical
science. Those which not ouly relieve but
positively cure nearly every pain and ache
which flesh is heir to, when taken and used
in time. A cough or cold, a little sore throat,
an ache or a pain, is often thought and
treated as if it did not or would not amount
to much, when in fact nearly all the worst
and most serious diseases begin in just that
way and could be cured with few doses of
Saur & Balsley's medicine if taken in time.

Was 1t?

Was it in this county? They we're sleigh
ing. Everything was covered with the soft
beautiful snow. Nothing marred theil
pleasure save an occasional chunk of snow
thrown in their faces by the horses hoofs
He was full of mischief. He thought how
funny it would be TO pick up one of those
aforesaid chunks from the bottom of the
sleigh, and wash the face of the charming
young lady at his side. Quickly he stopped,
and his fingers closed on the largest piece
of seeming white snow in the bottom of the
sleigh. But, alas! it was not snow, and the
thermometer fell 20 degrees below zero in
all that country.

Cheap Fuel.

Toledo .man, Samuel T. Fisk, has in
vented device for burning oil, it being
turned into gas through the operation. 1t
makes very intense heat and the fuel thus
used costs one cent per hour. The Toledo
Bee says of the invention on its trial:
1t is a simple and cheap arrangement.
The process is simply this: Two oil tanks
are located in the basement These are filed
with what is known as fuel oil. 1t is crude
oil with tar removed and Can be purchased
anywhere for 215 cents q gallon. In little
closet off room q there is small tank of
oxygen about four feet high and twelve
inches in circumference. The pressure may
be regulated at will, and the oxygen is
forced through the email pipes into the
stove, carrying the oil through the burner
with it. 1t is the natural combustion of the
oil and oxygen that creates the gas. The
pressure is absolutely uniform. Theo oil and
oxygen may be forced into every room of a
Chicago mammoth building. The inven-
tion has been perfected to such degree that
there is no odor! The flame as it leaps and
curls about the burner is as blue as the
smoke of perfecto. There is no more dan
ger 10 the use Of this patent than In the
handling of lamps or the burning OF gas.
About the same precautions are necessary.

Something New.

'Flowers are words which even baby

We have heard of all sorts of catalogues,
but Poetical catalogue is something en-
tirely new. In reading Vick's Floral Guide
for 1893, on every page one comes across
happy and appropriate questions from
prominent authors. Whether it takes the
mind off from the work of making out list
of Flowers and Vegetables, or make the
Guide more fascinating, will have to be de-
cided after trial, by the publishers, James
Vick's Sons, Rochester, N. Y. Another
novel feature is the family of Pansy Sailors
who appear on the cover and through the
book. 1t contains five colored plates, hun
dreds of illustrations and lists, with descrip-
tiops of everything required in the garden.
This work is really given free, as the 10
cents asked for it may be deducted from the
first order sent the house.

The Young Wheat and Glover.

The pleasant reflection that the young
wheat and clover were lying snug and safe
under the snow must of course be rudely
disturbed by usual croaking that the white
blanket is so thick as to threaten the'smoth-
ering of the tender crops. There is, hover
or, no truth in these reports. There is no
ice everything the fields. The snow fell upon
dry ground, and all these frigid days has
been resting lightly on the plants, affording
them good protection from the extreme cold.
If later conditions prove as favorable as
have been those of the winter thus far, the
country will be blessed with abundant yields
of grain, vegetables and fruit the coming
summer and autumn.

To BE Salaried,

A bill has been introduced in tho State
Senate to put municipal councils on salaries.
1t provides that in cities having less than
10000 population councilman shall receive
two dollars for every meeting at which he is
present aud answers to all roll calls; and in
cities of more than 10000 population the
councilman is TO receive three dollars per
meeting, A special meetingis not to count,
unless the mayor and city solicitor make
written statement that it is necessary that it
should be called. Think of the average
much abused councilman drawing salary!

mates that al some future period the Wa
bash may construct such connection. Well,
