"And you don't recognize the room

The dark eyes looked about i'll increas-

ingly:
Il cannot say, but in my forgotten
childhood, which I have tried so hard to
remember"--
II don't mean that" interrupted
MaXey. 81 mean since you have been

The dark eyes turned toward him in
wild amazement
''Was | not taken to the hospital?"
'You were brought here. You were
placed i'll that little bed there. My sister
attended you, and so you remained for
weeks Now, don't you remember it

DISASTROUS AGITATION.


tho Tariff
Probably every man in the United
States, whether he has business sense
or not. has been impressed with the
fact so strongly stated by President
Cleveland ard Chairman Wilson, that
tariff agitation has only begun II the
democratic party has It's way. There
Is just one thing that can stop 1.-THE
complete and overwhelming defeat Of
that party. These predictions of Its
future course were not reckless or
thoughtless, for they occurred In pub
lie statements Of the gravest impor-
lance, nor wero they In the least I'M
natural The whole world knows that
the democratic party solemnly pledged
itself in It's national platform to franc
and pass q very different tariff from
that which was enacted. Further,
everybody knows that the democratic
representatives with scarcely dis
senting voice were earnestly in favor
Of . radically different tariff, even
down to the day when they accepted
the senate bill on the ground that no
other could possibly be passed. Even
then, as the public record proves, tho
democratic representatives assented
70 the senate bill only on the definite
pledge, which was afterward found to
De q fine article Of piecrust that the
supplemental or popgun bills, putting
iron and coal and sugar on the free
list, would also DO passed In the senate,
This was the last and utmost that
the house was willing to do, and II was
tricked into the passage Of the bill as
II stands without free trade amend
ments. But even with those amend
ments the bill fell far short Of the de-
clarcd conviction and purpose Of the
democrats In the house, and Of the great
ma ority Of democrats in the senate,
and In both houses 1t was publicly de-
clarcd that the fight would be opened
again at the next session, to obtain
further reductions or removals OF duty.

In that direction, and prefer the net OF

On Thursday evening last the old

the claim ordinance, approved the
minutes and passed into history
Messrs. Anon, Bowers and Danz, and
Mayor Roach retiring.
The New Council was then organized.
Mayor Hollenbeck approved the bonds
of Marshal Thornton, Clerk Franey
and Treasurer Hampton, and also pre-
sented his own bond which was APP
proved by the Council.
Mayor Hollenbeck was called up for
speech but said he didn't think it
necessary for HIM to make long ad-
dress. He thought the members ol
the Council knew as much about their
duties and what was best for the vii.
lage lis he did. He cautioned the
Council to pay strict attention TO the
finances of the village; to provide fol
the payment OF all obligations and Il
be rs saving as possible, and at the
same time to keep up the village prop
esty and not permit the streets ant
walks to be neglected.
His remarks were appreciated by
the Council and his suggestions wer
pointed and worthy Of due consider
alton.
The appointment OF successor t
Mr.. Hollenbeck, whose resignatio
as councilman, was accepted was dc
lerred TO the next meeting, as was ais

PLUM KNOT.

That most dreaded destroyer of plum
trees known us ''plum-knot" has APP
pearcd in Perrysburg.
And through neglect to cut and burn
the first knots that appeared the dis
ease has rapidly spread and the valu-
able plum orchard on the McMahan lot
on Front street has become entirely dis
troyed.
The germs of disease have spread
from these premises throughout that
part of town to the utter ruin of some
trees and the partial disease of others.
In eS animation of the trees on nine
lots | found none exempt from the
scorge. In almost every case people
with vigilance cut out and burned the
knots. aud like care and frequent eX-
animation Of the trees will be necessary
on the part of every grower OF plum
trees to eradicate and stamp out the
dread disease.
In New York. Pennsylvania an6
other states whole counties and dis
trlcts have become so prevalent with
plum knot, that the growing of plum:
has been obliged to become abandoned
and laws in these and other states have
been enacted against allowing plum
knots to grow, on any person premises
On March ,, 1892 A law was enacted
in Ohio against any person allowing
plum knots TO grow.
THE full text of the law was publish
ed in the journal, April IA, 94.-EI
