THE TITAN OF CHASMS.
A Mile Deep, ID Miles Wide, 217 Miles
Long. and Painted Like Flower.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than II hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $1,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are provid-
ed throughout the trip at a reasona-
BILE price. The view of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically to the river below.
The descent of the trail is a grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds Of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range
A book decribing the trip to the
Grand Canon, illustrated by many
full-page photographs, from especial
engravings and furnishing all needful
information, may be obtained free

A Peculiar Find.

While the section hands on the
Ohio River road, were working on
the repairs just below the Vauclause
station, Peasants county, last Fri
day they made rather a strange dis
covery. A large sand rock which
lays about twenty feet from the
track had been blasted and carried
away The hands were shoveling
dirt from where the rock lay into
the ditch near the track, when Will
liam Cooper saw something bright
in the dirt He picked it up and it
proved to be a silver coin, 1t was
Spanish quarter and bore the date
1855. A second piece was found,
which it will be remembered was
called a bit This piece had the
figures 1S0-, the fourth figure being
illegible. Another piece of the same
value was found, but it was so smooth
that the date could not be deter
mined. A quarter dated 1878, a
half dollar made in 1928 and dime
made in 1887 were also found. An
ordinary piece of sandstone about
the size of mans hand was pickle d
up, one side of this stone was pol
ished as smooth as a piece of glass
The skeleton of man was found in
the same place. Three of the bones
of the leg were in a good state of
preservation; the rest crumbled
as soon as exposed to the air
How they came to be there is a mys-
terry. From the date on one of the
coins found they evidently were not
there prior to 1887.

FREE HOME TREATMENT.
Catarrh Cures by Thousands by DR..
Hartman.

The symptoms of chronic catarrh
vary according TO the stage and exact
location of the disease. The first stage
Of catarrh of the nose and head pro-
duces discharge from the nose, sneez-
ing, pain in the eyes and forehead,
weak, and sometimes watery eyes, oc-
casionally loss of memory. In the
last stage the discharge ceases, and
dry, offensive scabs form in the nose;
polypi growths sometimes form in one
or both nostrils, and the pain in the
head and eyes is much less. Unless
something is done to prevent, the Ca
tarrh will follow the mucous men,
brane into th6lungs, where it will be
followed by cough, night sweats, rap
id loss of flesh, and the other dread
symptoms of consumption.
To all such people Dr. Hartman's
treatment comes as a great boon. 1t
is only necessary to send name and adj
dress to DR.. Hartman, Columbus, o.,
and complete directions for first
months treatment will be sent free.
Not only is it more successful in cur
ing catarrh than the treatment of the
catarrh specialists, but it is in the
reach of every person in this land. A
medicine which is the principal part
OF DIR. Hartmans treatment, known
as Pe-ru-na, can be bought at any
drug store, and is a remedy without
equal for catarrh in all forms, coughs,
colds, bronchitis, consumption, and

directions for use.

Republican Game of Bluff,

The New Orleans States says:
THE Republican game of bluff to in
timidate the present Democratic Con
gress was started by the Sugar Trust
with its threat to close down all of
its refneries in the North and throw
out of employment fifty thousand
men. This was done, as we have
said and as Senator Smith, of New
Jersey, admits, to influence the ac-
ton of Congress during the winter
session, and that the scheme was
well concocted is shown by the dis
charge of employees on the Southern
Pacific Railway and the reduction of
the wages of others. The millionaire
glass manufacturers of Pennsylvania
are also reducing wages for political
effect, and the cue has been passed
so far down the line that we under
stand that prominent Republican
merchant and manufacturer in this
city has scaled down the wages of
great many of his employees after
discharging quite number. Thus
the insidious play of plutocracy goes
on to end eventually in populism and
revolution. The people are growing
tired of being mastered by money"

The Farmers Speak

There was a conference last Satur-
day in Philadelphia of several mem
bers of the executive committee OF
the National Grange This body
has ordered the submission To sub
ordinate oranges this year the prop
osition that, so long as the protect
i've tariff system is in operation for
the protection of American indus
tries, an equal measure Of protec.
tion for agricultural staples is de
handed, and this shall be secured
by the payment of government boun-
ties. on agricultural exports to for
eign seaports. The subordinate
oranges of California and Illinois
have already approved this PROPOSE
ton. The Republican party set the
example of paying bounties to the
sugar growers, and it is hard to see
why the producers of wheat and cot
ton have not just as much right to
them.

An Instance Near Home.

In 1892 Marion county gave Mr..
Wilson 1855 votes, and in 1894 it
rolled up 1923, and still there were
enough Democratic votes to have
carried the county by the old time
Democratic majority if they had
been cast, says the Index. This is
no guess work on our part. The vo-
tiers of the county we're carefully
listed, and when the returns came in
it was found that the Republican
vote was scarcely larger than it had
been listed, while there was a slump
in the Democratic vote of more than
sufficient to overcome the Republi-
can majority. So it seems that even
in Marion, where such splendid work
was done for the Democracy, it was
the stay at-homes who turned the
tide against us.

A Newspaper Law to be Recommended.

A special meeting of the West Vir-
ginia Editorial association was held
at Parkersburg Wednesday last, and
the following was passed:
Resoloed, That it is the sense of
this Association that the libel laws
of West Virginia should be so
changed as to place newspapers up
on the same footing as other liti
giants before trial courts. And with
view to this end, the President is
hereby authorized to appoint a
committee of five, or less, to look af-
ter the needed legislation and pre-
pare bill similar to that now pend
ing in New York, and the one which
is now law in Massachusetts.
c. H. fancy, A. B. White, c. B.
Hart, r. E. Hornor, and S. f. Reed
were appointed such committee The
meeting was solely for the purpose
of formulating this resolution.
The present law needs changing.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseases portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have arumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the inaamma-
tion can be trken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

KICKED OUT
When Boy, He Lived to Pay the
Offender.

Offender.
A story with moral is told me
by friend from Bloomington
Ind. That petty little university
town numbers among it's notabili-
ties not only the college professor.
but another professor also, whose ac.
complishment lies not in the direc-
tion of human education | mean
genial Henry Gentry, known where
ever there are little and big child
ren, who like to see his performing
dogs and ponies. Professor Gentry
was very poor boy, which was no
dishonor, but still much against him
in the race of life. During the last
few years he has made fortune. l
am afraid to say now much bnt it
must be up in the hundred tbous
ands. Ten years ago he was still
struggling to make living for him
self and his parents, and very often
it was hard enough.
And thereby hangs my tale
Every one knows how difficult it
was for business men to keep heads
above water during the hards times
and what serious matter it was to
obtain money, but Gentry had plen
ty of it all through and it is said to
have helped more than one man over
the stepping stones.
One day very prominent bust
ness man of his own town was
caught short and needed $1,000 to
see him through. He had property
and values, but no money. He went
to the bank and asked for loan,
but was suavely told that the bank
had it not. Just as the conversation
was going on Henry Gentry hap
pened to pass the bank, and the
banker remarked, there's only one
man in town who has that much
cash, and maybe he'll lend it to you.
He pointed to Gentry
The business man took the hint
stepped out of the bank, caught up
with Gentry, and after very com
plimentary talk on his success
preached his question. Gentry
turned full upon him and replied
ooh, yes, l have $4,000 and more,
too, but do you remember barefoot
lad who came into your store at one
time trying to buy pair of shoes on
trust? Do you remember how you
kicked him almost out of your store2
Well | was that boy. No, no, you
can have no money from mep' May
be it was not very Christian, but it
must have been awfully sweet re-

is held that when a mortgage is fore
closed that tockholder does not

closure credit should oe given for
payments upon stock; or, if this
is not done and the mortgage is sat

Farmers Sons.

Farmers who desire their sons to
succeed in agricultural pursuits must
give them good practical education.
Nearly all Of the States now provide
facilities for the education of farm
ers' sons in theoretical and practical
farming, agricultural chemistry, tool
craft, and whatever else may be re
quisite to enable them to become
successful farmers. With the ad
vantages of such instruction farmers
sons would be content to pursue the
occupation of their sres They would
take a pride in demonstrating the
superiority of scientific, intensive and
diversified farming over old methods.
They would remain at home.
