years it quotes are those when full

not a full vote, but the Democracy fell
far short OF their former proportion OF

Over in Cambridge, Ohio, they have
been enjoying telephone war. A Pitts.
burg company put in plant and charged
$50 year for instruments. The patents
on telephones having expired, a local
company put in another p pant at cost
Of 5000, and put the rental at $24 for
Offices and $40 FOR residences. At this
rate they got hundred and fifty SUBJ
scribers. The old company lost all but
eleven OF its thirty subscribers, and then
cut the rate to s13 per annum. BY this
move they only secured two new pat.
rons, raising the total to the unlucky
thirteen. The citizens are too sharp to
90 back on the new company, which Sc
cured and makes possible the continu'
ance OF reasonable rates.

The new revenue tariff doesn't seem
to work according to expectations. We
never thought it would. Our prediction
has been that the U. S. Treasury would
be bankrupt and an issue of bonds made
before Christmas. 1t has come even
sooner, and Grover and Carlisle are al.
ready asking Wall street TO buy fifty
million of bonds. Oh what success is
Democracy 1t has now repealed the
McKinly act and replaced it with Demo
cratic legislation. If the revenue fails to
meet current expenses, who can they
blame now?

There is more catarrh in this section
of the coutry than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
to be constitutional disease and there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Halls CataTrh Cure, manufactured by
F. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the market.
1t is taken internally in doses from ten
drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts directly
on the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials. Address,

The Semi Weekly Republican echoes our
oft expressed sentiment when it says
Hillsboro ought to be ashamed of her
self on account OF her lack of a public
hall. In this respect our city is far be-
hind all the smaller towns of southern
Ohio. Here is serious need that ought
to be met. Is there no society here
with the public spirit and enterprise to
meet this emergency We had hoped
the G. A. R. would call the citizens of
the town into consultation upon the ad.
visibility of erecting a memorial hall.
But, if this cannot be, there's no use
giving up in despair. There's surely
some way OF getting public hall.

Big Snow Storm.

Last Sunday about II o'clock few
little flakes of snow drifted aimlessly
from the sky, then others followed more
thickly, and finally the air was filed
with them. Between 2 and 3 clock
there was a rest, but later the snow
began to fall in business-like way,
and by night there was several inches
of it upon the ground. 1t came fast
and furious, and through the night
there was high gale of wind that
brought rain and sleet, followed by snow
and rain half of the day on Monday.
The net result was about eight inches
of solid snow. The storm was gener-
al one all along the eastern section of
the country. Further north it develop
ed into a tremendous blizzard. Rail-
road travel was delayed by heavy
drifts. Two passenger trains on the
Norfolk & Western were showed in
near Shenandoah, and a gang of men
went from Shepherdstown Sunday
night on No. 6 to help dig them out.
By Monday noon all trouble was over.
The sleighing was fairly good in
this neighborhood, but the snow has
been melting pretty fast.

cred judgment for $l9S, was tried by

ny, in which the plaintiff claimed
judgment for about $500, was put on
trial before a jury, but before the
plaintiffs evidence was fully heard it
was discovered that there was fatal
variance between the declaration and
the proof, whereupon the court with
drew juror and granted leave to the
plaintiff TO amend his declaration,
and the case was remanded to rules
for that purpose.

Too Much Curiosity.

The other night one OF Mr.. Thomas
R. Lines cats was out visiting the
neighbOrs. At Mr.. Jacob B. Crows
she-of course it was she-saw a
tomato can, and in moment Of unwise
curiosity stuck her head in it to see
what was inside. Her head went in
all right, but when it came to getting
it out, why that was another matter.
She paved and scratched and backed
and butted, but couldn't get rid Of
the can. She spent the balance of the
night in frantic efforts to remove the
novel night-cap, but to no avail. Next
morning Mr.. Crow carried cat, can
and all up to Martens tin-shOp, where
the can was cut off her head. She
will probably keep her nose out of
strange cans in the future.
