TOWNSHIP BOARD.
The Boards Think that the Workman Law
Should Stand.

Should Stand.
The Township Board of Education
met in the Office of the Clerk, Monday.
Seventeen out of the nineteen members
were present:
A motion was introduced asking our
representative to vote for the repeal of
the Workman law. This motion only
received two votes in its favor A motion
was then made that Mr.. Heinlein be re-
quested to vote against the proposed
repeal of the Workman law. This motion
received seventeen votes, showing it to
be the opinion of the whole Board that
the Workman law should stand. s.
In the matter of building a bridge in
sub district No. 19, it was reported that
those asking for the bridge had secured
an appropriation of $3.50 from the Con
missioners for the parpose. The Board
therefore voted an additional $50, speci-
flying that the entire cost should not ex-
ceed $500, and that the right-of-way
should be obtained from property
owners.
The resignation of r A. McMasters,
teacher at Stewartsville, was accepted,
and the clerk of the sub district was
authorized to employ new teacher. Mr..
McMasters resigns because he has ac-
cepted position in normal school III

MAKE IT A GO.
Much Interest Shown in the Project
of Cold Storage and Ice
Making Plant.

Some interest was aroused by the prop
osition spoken of last week by THE
CHRONICLE, to establish a cold storage
and ice-making plant at this placein con-
nection with cannery. a number OF
people of the town, as well as many farm
ers near by, have been in to learn from the
projectors of the plan the particulars,
and to get some idea of the money and
machinery required in such an under
taking. Every one who speaks OF 1t Is
quite willing to admit that we ought to
have something of the sort here. Young
people grow up and are compelled 10
leave their homes to find employment, or
as far too many actually do, are forced
to be idle, or to engage in some trifilng
work which keeps them busy but small
part of the time. In addition the matter
has become one of interest to house own
ers. This spring the prospect is good for
a number of vacant houses. People are
moving out of the place simply because
they can find no work to support them.
Other small towns without number are
prosperous simply because they have
within themselves some means OF bring
ing in money from the outside. They
are busy, thriving and happy because
there is work for their people. Many
examples of such places are within half
days travel of st. Clairsville. We may
very well place ourselves in like posi-
ton. We have money here. There IS no
doubt Oft What we need IS judicial
investment at home. The field proposed
is comparatively unworked.' Cold stor-
age is of vast and growing Importance,
but there are few plants in this whole
region. To reap the full benefits of such
a plant located at this point, it ought to
be built as soon as possible. Let there
be further consideration and inyestiga-
ton of the plan. Small efforts at can
ming have been made here recently, and
have proven successful. Why not unite
all around, go into the matter i'll busl-
nesslike way, and do something that will
count? AS was said last week, the gen.
tlemen who have the matter in hand are
to be found in town at any time, and are
quite ready to explain the features of the
plan to prospective investors. All that
is needed is for some liberal persons to
come forward with the energy and en-
terprise to make such thing go, and the
money to get it started, and join those
who are already satisfied that it can be
made to pay and to pay well.

Unique Advertising.

Secretary George Hook, of the Wheel
ing State Fair Association, has received
the design for lithograph to advertise
the annual fair next September. 1t rep
resents Noah's ark landing in the back
river and all the beasts marching off
upon the fair ground. Over head a long
line of brilliant plumaged birds fly from
the roof and circle around the grounds.
The city, the bridges and the grounds
are shown faithfully, and the lettering is
fine. The picture is to be seven colors,
and the association never had SO fine a
hanger before.

Blood Poisoning.

More particulars of the death of DIR.
Hingeley states that he died of blood
poisoning, resulting from surgical Ope-
ration. The latter was made necessary
by an injury received while he was pre-
siding elder at New Philadelphia. The
Doctors will, it is said by one who
heard it, read like an inspired testa-
ment. 1t began " Whether l live or die
am the Lords" and ended with the
words, die praying for my wife and
children, and the members of the East
Ohio Conference"

A Good Thing.

The canning factory at Gnadenhutten
did good business the past season. con
sidering the shortness of some of the
crops. They canned 6,625 bushels of to-
matoes, S4,S69 pounds of corn and a
small quantity of beans and pumpkins.
The factory paid S1,663.2S for produce
and Sl,643 "a for labor. This made a
home market for perishable produce.
gave employment to many who would not
otherwise likely have been employed, and
brought S3,306,9l to farmers and labOrers

ALL SORTS.
A Melange of Items Gethered From
All Sources and Dished Up
Together.
Bought q Cow.


Last week a well dressed stranger call
ed on John Fulton, of Shepherdstown,t TO
buy a cow. He offered $50 for the COW,
and borrowed $3.50 from Mr.. Fulton to
telegraph to Wheeling for money. he
returned in a short time, saying that he
had been instructed by telegraph to have
Mr.. Fulton take the cow to Wheeling to
a certain address, where the $50 and
$3.50 would be paid him. He then left.
Mr.. Fulton took the COW to Wheeling,
but no such address as that given by the
stranger was found. The police were
notified, and the man who brought the
animal down said that he had seen on
the street the fellow who did the dealing.
But he was not found. The indications
are that the hard times have turned out
of the cities a horde of sharpers, who
will steal anything in sight. They are
masters of cajelery, and farmers should
be careful.

advantage of the only good night OF
sIeighing there has been this winter, and
went in sleds and sleighs Friday evening
to Flushing. Supper was eaten at the
Flushing hotel at o'clock, and as soon
thereafter as possible the dining-room
was cleared of the tables, a piano pushed
up near the doors, and the dancing went
on until hear midnight. The party
reached home about 1:30, after a most
pleasant night.

For q Library.

A representative of the West Publish-
ing Company, of Minneapolis, has been
in town during the past week, and has
been making an effort to get the attor-
neys interested in the matter of providing
the court with full set of Supreme
Court decisions. 1t was at first attempted
to raise the necessary money by sub
scription, but this failed. The commits
sioners will now be asked to provide for
this addition to the library. There is no
doubt that the courts are in need OF
these volumes, because they are now
obliged to depend on private collections,
but in the present condition of the county
treasury, it would be better to continue
the present conditions.

For Marshal

Some talk is INDUCED in about candi-
dates for Marshal. Hhe salary in this
Office is so meager that there seems to be
difficulty in persuadiug man who will
enforce the law to take the place. For
the purpose of getting a good man the
salary of the Office should be reasonably
increased. There is no doubt that if a
man pledged to enforce the law without
fear is put up, he can be elected. People
are thinking of these things, and an eff.
fort will certainly be made this spring to
put in a man who will see that law
breakers are arrested.

Advice.

"Shut your mouth" is said to be an
excellent motto when considered in the
light of hygiene as well as ethics. Per
sons who breathe through their noses are
not so liable to throat diseases as those
who use the mouth for that for which it
was not made. The Indians taught their
children from infancy to keep the mouth
closed, and although that race exposed
themselves more than any other, the
complaints which are common to ciyili-
zation were unknown.
