Farmers Alliance.

The third quarterly meeting of the
Belmont County Farmers Alliance and
Industrial Union was held at Bellaire.
Saturday. The forenoon session was
public, but there were not many in at
tenuance and the only thing done was an
explanation of the purposes and benefits
of the order There was fair crowd at
the afternoon session, President Robert
McKelvey in the chair, and James A.
Wiley, Secretary. The reports showed
that the Alliance is growing nicely in
the county and is in a fiourishing condi-
ton. The next meeting will be held at
Barnesville in July. There was a contest
between st. Clairsville and BarneSville
for the meeting.

Senaforial.

AT the Senatorial primaries in Colum
biana county last Saturday, j. A. b
Wood, of Steubenville, swept the platter
Columbiana county had no candidate,
and it was an open field for Jeffer-
erson county candidates, of which there
were two, Mr.. Wood and DR.. White
DR.. White was prevented by sickness
from engaging actively in the canvass,
while Wood hustled around lively. AS
Mr. Wood probably has Columbiana SOL
i'd this practically settles the contest. as
he is certain to secure enough in his own
county. whose primaries will not be held
for some time, togive him the nomina-
tion if he has not sufficient already.
On this end of the joint district there
are apparently no candidates as yet-at
least none have been publicly announced.
1t is time for would-be Senators to shy
themselves into the ring, if it be true
that the early bird catches the worm.
Although this is a joint district, the old
boundaries will be observed as far as
nominations go.

TWO NEW SUITS.
le Man Wants 5000 Damages, The ot--
er 500 Damages.

Sr SIOO OdIu1BcS-
a suit for 1000 damages has been be-
gun in Common Pleas Court by Richard
Crozier against Charles Mitchell. In set
ting forth his grounds of action the
plaintiff alleges that the defendant "will,
fully debauched and carnally knew
plaintiff s daughter and servant, Cath
arine E. Crozier, and by this fact the
plaintiff has been and will be at great ex-
pense in caring for his daughter and her
child, and inasmuch as the act of the de-
fendant has deprived the plaintiff of the
services of his servant and daughter, and
in consideration of the expenses and the
wrong and injury done him, the plaintiff
asks the damages above named.
Wm. F. Ball, in suit in which the pc
tition has just been filed, alleges that on
May 1, 1892, he purchased from David
Gordon SO sheep, paying therefor S205;
that the defendant guaranteed the sheep
to be sound, and not to have foot-rOt.
Plaintiff says they did have toot-rot, as
he afterward discovered, and that they
communicated the disease to 100 other
sheep and so infected the farm that sheep
can not be kept on it. He places his
damage at 800, and asks judgment for
this amonnt.

$4,000 of Bonds.

As will be seen by an advertisement
elsewhere in this issue, the County Com
missioners offer for sale $4,000 worth
ofcounty and bridge bonds. These bonds
are issued in pursuance of an act of the
General Assembly, whice gave authority
to either borrow or bond The Commis-
sioners have chosen the latter plan.
There has been much discussion of this
question this winter with the preponder-
ance of sentiment apparently against
bonds, especially since there have been
offers to loan at five per cent, but it
seems that the original intention of the
Commissioners has been carried out.
These bonds are to run eight years.

Colonel Copeland,s Lecture.

Colonel L. r. Copeland's lecture Friday
night was the last of this years course
and was in all respects an excellent en-
tertainment His subject, "Snobs and
SnObbery," gave him full swing at the
follies and foibles of humanity, and he
showed them up with such burning elo-
quence and such genial wit, that even
hose the most hardly hit could not take
offense especially as each one so hit
could solace himself with the reflection
that he was in a numerous company, all
likewise held up for inspection. The
Colonel did not. like Thackeray, confess
himself zone of the Snobs," but his lect-
ure was none the worse for that.

BRIEF ITEMS
Touching on All Subjects of Interest
To Chronicle Readers.
In Mormon Temple Senatorial
Alliance-We Charge for It.
Other Items.

Fredd W. Longley, who with Mrs Long
ley, is now living at Salt Lake City
sends us papers giving interesting details
of the great Mormon Temple recently
dedicated at that place. The Temple is
magnificent structure, covering 2S,0OC
square feet, with towers 22S feet in
height 1t is decorated in the highest
style of art with carvings and paintings
is replete with modern furnishings, and
seems to be intended as both place OF
public assemblage, and a home for the
priesthood. 1t has been forty years
building. Mr.. Longley, in letter ac-
companying the papers, says:
NO person is allowed in this building
except the good Mormons and those per
sous having special invitations. About
two weeks before the dedication three
members of our shop force were sent to
cut twenty eight stars on the front of the
building; was one of the three, my part
ner on the scaffold was a good Mormon,
and has cut stone ON this building for the
last Is years. He asked if | would not
like to go through the building, and said
he thought he could take me through at
lunch time We went into the basement
of what is called the annex and entered
the Temple by way of along underground
passageway or tunnel. In my estimation
nothing has been exaggerated in the de
scription given in the News. A great
many persons say it is the finest build
ing they have seen in the United States.
The greatest thing we know of now is
that boy baby was born in the Temple
during dedication services"

New Way to Swear.

The telephone has been put to new
and novel use. The old way of swear
ing people promises to be done away
with. The way now to do to take an
oath when you are too busy to go to a
notary's office is to step to your telephone
while the notary is at the other end. He
goes through the usual formality of
swearing you, and when he has done
speaking you say at your end of the
line 81 do" How would it do to have a
telephone line connected with nowhere
and have central put you on to it when
you want to do little of that other kind

A Good Course.

The gentlemen who projected and car
ried out the lecture course here during
the past winter deserve to be thanked
for their disinterested work. Five en-
tertainments were given-three atleast
of which, were by men at the top in their
respective lines. The course was as high
class as could possibly have been obtain
ed for the money, and persons who are
dissatisfied because the lecturers are not
Joseph Cook, Rev. Tom Dixon, DIR. Tai
madge, or Bob Ingersoll, should remem-
Der that such men as these do not make
towns of this size, any more than do such
actors rs Henry Irving or Modjeska, or
such singers as Patti and Kellogg.

TOWNSHIP BOARD
Holds its First Regular Meeting Un
der the New Law.
All Present But One Raise in Teachers
Salaries Some Few Other Nota-
BILE Matters.

The Township Board of Education
met in the office of Clerk Frint, Monday
The old Board adjourned sine die, and
the new Board, elected under the Work
man law took their places. Roll-call
showed eighteen of the nineteen mem
bers present On organization J. Z.
Pickering, of East Richland, was elected
President. Lots were cast to determine
the length of term of each member
seven being allotted to the one-year term,
six to the two-year, and six to the three
year. There being no election in Dis
trict No. 4, Albert Neff was appointed.
The proper committee reported tuition
allowance for the ensuing year of S3zO
to each district except Glencoe, which
was allowed $3.50, each school to be taught
not less than eight months. This is
change from the old method, by doing
away with distinctions, and will be pop
Mar with teachers. Various repairs in
several districts were allowed. A rule
was adopted of paying Sl.5O month for
janitor fees, payable only to the teacher,
and at the end of the term
The petition of Isaiah Nichol and 5O
others for better school facilities in the
vicinity of Stewartsville was referred to
a committee for report at the next meet
ing, as was also the petition of j. a. Stitt
and others for the establishment of new
sub district in the neighborhood OF
Glencoe.
All matters pertaining to the course
of study to be adopted for the township
and to township supervision were refer
red to a committee of three.
Inasmuch as the new law requires that
the Board employ all teachers, it was de-
cided that a teacher must make applica
tion to the member of the Board coming
from the district in which he desires to
teach. This application, accompanied
with credentials, ETC., will be presented
to the Board for its action.
Some other business was transacted,
and the Board adjourned to meet the
third Saturday in May.
