w haU to do Now,

This is splendid time to repair and fix
up your farming implements, fix up and get
things in shape around your barn for the
coming summer. There is but little else to
do just now, and if you will only think 80
You can do most of this work yourself. Sup
pose you paint your wagons, your reapers
and mowers. They should be painted at
least every other year if you would have
them we'll preserved. and look we'll. You
go to Saur 4 Balsley's Drug and Paint store,
and for ebout one dollar and a-half you can
buy paint and oil enough to paint wagon
nicely and even if you should want to sell
your wagon, you can get from five to ten dol
lors more for it, if it is we'll painted. Your
harness and machine belts, need cleaning
and oiling and if you get at it now you will
find that your can do it yourself and do it
just as well or better than hire some one.

Damages Claimed $21 600.

Wood county we understand is about to
commence suit against this county for
$2l.0OO. damages claimed for the Beaver
creek improvement in this, county, Wood
county claiming that Henry is draining it's
water onto its territory. Why didn't the
Wood county officials ask for an even $780,
600 and apply the amount (that is when they
get it) towards paying for their new court
house. But, seriously, we don't believe
Henry county stands ready to help pay the
big debt of Wood county, and we over here
are not much worried about the $2I, 900
claim of Wood.

Don't Let Them Work You.

An exchange tells of the following slich
swindle that is catching farmers IN Other
parts of the State:
Here is the latest swindie. It has beer
practiced in neighboring county. A man
representing himself as advance agent for a
show, drives up to farm house and agrees to
pay the farmer two dollars for the privilege
OF pasting bills on his barn. The bargain is
made, the two dollars paid over and the sharp.
or asks the farmer to sign a receipt for the
money. He does so, and in few days finds
he has signed a note for $500 which a third
party asks him to pay. He says he won't
but he does all the same, He can't get out
of it. The note isin the hands of an ''inno.
cent purchaser and the maker of the note
can put in no defense"

TO BE EnjoiBed.

1t is understood parties, headed by A. ].
Saygers, are getting up the necessary injunc-
tion papers restraining the city council and
water works trustees from proceeding with
the building of the waterworks and electric
lightp plant. They claim illegality in the issu-
ing of the bonds, and while their action may
delay work upon the works it is not likely to
defeat their construction. The people have
spoken in favor of building the works in three
or four special election contests, and their
wishes are not to be set at nausht by a hand
ful of obstruc!ionists. s4a

End Of the Telephone Monopoly.

The telephone monopoly, which has been
reaping such rich harvest off the people for
the past number of years, will be busted af-
ter the Both of this month, for on that day
the patent on the receiver expires. The
original Bell patent on the telephone expired
on March of last year. and now that the
other patent is about to expire, both re-
ceiver and transmitter will be free to the
public. The expiration of the patents will
result in giving the public cheaper tele-
phone rates and cheaper instruments, bring
ing them within the reach of all, and MAX
ing it possible for the extension of the use
of the telephone in villages and small towns.
Our fellow townaman, Oliver Higgins. is
perfecting arrangements by which he will
give Napoleon telephone exchange or pri-
vate telephone connections. He intends
asking the city for franchise for putting
in and operating telephone connections.

COLUMBUS. o., Jan. %.
The commission appointed by Govern
or Mckinley at the last session to inves-
tigate the subject of more room for the
supreme court made its report day or
two ago. The report is one of the most
valuable that any commission appointed
to discharge an important duty has per-
formed in many years. The result of
their deliberations is set forth not only in
printed form, but in pictures as we'll
The first thing that the commission de-
cided was that it was unadvissble to
build detached building. If such o
structure were erected off the statehouse
grounds the lands would cost large
sum Of money, if it were put up on the
the sta:ehouse grounds it would prove
Disagreement In addition to these OBJ
jections detached building would prove
inconvenient not only for the court, but
for all state officers, all of whom have to
consult the law library. Therefore it
was decided to recommend the erection
of
Additions to tho Present StatehOuse.
Of course if this is done it ought to be on
a general plan of future additions SO that
there might be time when the state
would have complete building OF hand
some architectural proportions. The
commission recommends that a wing be
built at the south end Of the present
building, fronting on State street. This
addition is to take care of the supreme
court, and the floors are connected with
the same floors of the present building.
When more room is needed similar
wing is to be erected on the north end Of
the capitol, fronting on Broad street. 1t
is proposed that the executive depart
ment shall occupy this wing at some re-
mote future time. The next move for
more room will be in the direction OF
heaven. The present building is then to
be raised one story. In this new portion
are to be the new Legislative halls, reached
by passenger elevators. A rounded dome
is to surmount

The effect Of all these additions, carried
out in the Doric style of architecture,
will be superb when completed. Ohio
will have one of the grandest and most
imposing public buildings in the country;
indeed the capitol building at Washing
ton will have to look to its laurels. 1t is
estimated that the additions will cost
about $1,500,000 altogether, but the
beauty of the present proposition is that
the additions may be made as needed
and as the states finances will warrant,
yet the whole work will be in harmony
with what has been done and with what
is to be done from start to finish.

The Emergency Board.

The Emergency Board.
The debate on the bill to abolish the
emergency board brought out the fire.
works Of the house with all its old-time
vigor and developed the fact that the
present house has as much latent oratory
as had any Of its predecessors. Mr..
Sleeper, the author of the bill to abolish
the board, made quite reputation as a
public debator, and he promises to occupy
quite a prominent place upon the floor of
the house during the coming weeks. An
effort was made to amend the law au-
thorizing the emergency board SO as to
clip its wings, but the house was in no
hunor to temporize, but was in for wip-
ing the board out, and it had to go. The
vote was " to Z.
Air Guns and Pistols.
A bill to prevent the shooting of air
guns and pistols on the roads and streets
Of the state has been passed by the house.
The frequency Of accidents from these
deadly weapons impelled the house to
take this action The fine for violation
is $95.
County and Township Local Option.
The county and township local option
law proposed by the member from
Lorain, Mr.. Haskell, is bound to raise
quite disturbance before the winter is
over. The bill provides for the submis-
sion of the question of local option on the
liquor question at the spring election.
There is strong element in the house in
favor of some act on the liquor question,
though it did not agitate the people much
last fall. On the other hand there is
decidedly strong element in the house
who are opposed to the opening up of
this subject this winter. There is enough
to do to take care of the business of the
state without going into other subjects.
The people are expecting this legislature
to have but one session. If that notion
prevails in the legislature itself there will
be quite enough to do to take care of
present ills without flying to those we
know not Of.
The Skunk Bill.
has gone through the house. 1t provides
that skunks shall not be killed upon any
ones premises without the written per-
mission of the owner. It was argued
that skunks are the greatest fur-bearing
animal in the state, and they ought not
to be exterminated, as was now likely
with indiscrirninate killing. Skunks are
