ABSOLUTELY PURE

A GOOD CHURCH MEMBER b :
lieves in his church. He loves it. He
gives himself to it. He prays for it,
and speaks kindly of it. He does not
put a stumbling block in the way of
his brethren, and avoids those things
which may grieve them or cause them
to offend. He is charitable in his judg-
nent, and promotes peace. He feels it
duty to build up his own congrega-
ton. He cheers his brethren and his
pastor by regular attendance upon the
public service. He helps the pastor, and
does not leave him preach to empty
pews, with an aching heart, or to carry
on the brayer- meetings alone. 1t is no
slight excuse that keeps him from the
Lords Supper. The appointments of
his church and the memory of his Saw
ior are sacred to him. He does not tri-
de with either. He does not long con-
tinue direlict in duty to church, so as to
render himself liable to discipline. He
keeps his covenant solemnly made with
his church when he joined its fellowship.
God bless our good members, old and
young, and constantly increase their
number! Let lively stones be laid in
to the spiritual temple.

ACCORDING to the provisions of bill
that became law last week women of
81 years of age and over are given the
right of suffrage at school elections in
Ohio. A similar bill was defeated once
this session in the House, but the states
men seem to have discovered that they
were on the unpopular side of the ques-
tion, and to get right, were willing to
reverse their former action. We will
now have an opportunity to judge of
how much this privilege is appreciated
by our wives and sisters and daughters.
OF course, some will say that the law
is unconstitutional and quote the con-
stitution to the effect that "every male
Citizen" etc., 'sshal have the qualiica-
tions of an elector and be entitled to vote
at all elections" in support of their plea,
but they neglect to note the fact that
the Office of member of the school board
is not a constitutional Office. It is
created by an act of the General Assem-
bly,, and the General Assembly certainly
has the right to determine how such
members shall be chosen. And if an
act is passed giving women voice in
choosing school directors the constitu-
tion certainly has nothing to do with
the case.

Now CERTAIN Democratic papers are
alleging that the Coxey and kindred
movements were started by Republicans
as a spectacular protest against the
Wilson bill. While the claim is absurd,
yet the charge indicates a feeling in the
minds of the writers that Democratic
legislation, or lack of legislation, as you
please, is responsible for the armies now
tramping over the country. The pur
pose these men have in view in march
ing on Washington is the product of
crazy brain, but men out of work and
out of money may grasp hold of fool
idea which would make no impression
on the same men if steadily employed
These men are out of work because the
Democratic party is in power, and if
their movement is chargeable to any
party, it should be credited to the Demo-
cratic party. Certain it is that no such
movement ever took place under Re-
publican administration.

Warm weather about the 4th; storms
from the 9Th to 9TH, and much cooler
with frosts from the 7th to the 10th. An
other warm wave appears about the 11th,
and there will be three days of storms
and heavy rain. From the 2lst to the
25th, very warm with much disturbance,
followed by good weather until the end
of the month. In the nature of things,
May must bring more or less violence, in
meteorological way, but there is a
marked absence of disturbing causes, so
far as other planets are concerned. There
are reasons to believe that storms will
not be unusually frequent and heavy.

&C. st clairsxills woman.

A number of the New York Observe
of a recent date, contains the following
poem-A Prayer for My Friend-o'
Emma Rebekah Rice. Miss Rice, Wh
now lives in Washington, d. C., formerl
lived in st. Clairsville. She has eyldenl
ly succeeded in the difficult field OF lyri
poetry.
May happiness be thine,
Thro' years that come and go;
May God with kindly care.
To friend turn every foe.
And yet cannot pray
That cares which life infest,
Shall fee like clouds at morn,
Leaving thy heart at rest
Sorrow and yoiceless care,
Striking the chords of pain,
Fill earth with melodies,
That else had silent lain.
Wiser ii were TO pray
That Gods protecting arm
Be thrown around thee for aye,
Shielding thy life from harm.
Helping thee bear the pain
Each life must sometime know;
Making life bright within,
Spite of the sin and woe.

Butter For the Navy.

Chicago Record.
l asked Paymaster General Stewart, of
the United States Navy, where he gets
the butter that is used by the officers
and men on Uncle Sans ships at sea-
I'VE advertise every spring in the news
papers for butter, just as we do for any
other kind of supplies" he replied, land
then we send out specifications to the
diff fferent manufacturers throughout the
country for the information of bidders.
These specifications stipulate that We
shall be furnished with extra creamery
butter, made in June or October, put up
in tins and packed directly into the tins
at the place of manufacture. The tins
must be made of the best charcoal tin,
redipped before soldering, each tin to
contain three pounds, the weight of the
tin not included. The tins must be
packed in sawdust in substantial wooden
boxes, two dozen in each, with two hoop
iron straps around each box, one at each
end. Each tin must be carefully
wrapped in paper, the tops Of the boxes
fastened with screws. and the tins and
the boxes marked with the contents, the
name of the contractor, and the date OF
packing. Directions for opening must
also be placed in each package, and an
instrument for opening the tins must be
furnished with each 500 pounds of butter
Contractors must guarantee that the
butter shall keep in good condition fol
two years from the date of delivery"
"How much do you usually buy, and
where does it come from:"
1--WE usually call for about 5O,OOC
pounds, and give the contract to the
lowest responsible bidder, but we are
always careful to ascertain if the bidder
is responsible, and whether he knows
how to do the business, because we do
not want to send our boys to sea with
bad butter and no prospect of getting
better"
.'Does the butter keep well for two
years?"
After can of butter has gone around
the world and up and down the tropics
from one temperature to another, and
melted and hardened three or four times,
you can not expect it to be as good as il
was when it came out of the dairy, but
it seldom gets so bad that one can moi
eat it. In fact, under the circumstances
it is usually very satisfactory"

For the relief and cure of cold in
the head there is more potency in Ely's
Cream Balm than in anything else it is
possible to prescribe. This preparation
has fog years past been making a
brilliant success as a remedy for cold in
the head, catarrh and hay fever. Used
in the initial stages of these complaints
Cream Balm prevents any serious devel-
opment of the symptoms, while almost
numberless cases are on record of radical
cures of chronic catarrh and hay fever
after all other treatments have proved
of no avail.

Another PAPER.

Rumor has it that Byesville, is to have
a newspaper. Hon. d. D. Taylor and S
NJ. Johnston are to be the publishers
with Mr.. Johnston as editor. Mr.. John

bridge Peoples Press, now the Republi-
can Press. The new publication will
probably be Republican in politics, al
though Mr.. Johnston is Democrat

The Cars Physician.

Prof. Zakharan, of Moscow, who at.
tended the czar during his recent serious
illness, is almost as well known in Rus.
sia for his eccentricities as for his emf
nence as physician. When he is called
to attend patient, says the British
Medical Journal; special arrangements
must be made in the house; all dogs
must be kept out of the way, all clocks
must be stopped, all doors must be
thrown wide open. The professor on
entering begins process of gradual un-
dressing, leaving his furs in the hall,
his overcoat in the next room, his 60
loshes in the third, etc. He insists on
perfect silence on the part of the affiict-
ed relatives, except in reply to his ques-
tions, when their speech must be literal
ly 'yea" and ''nay." He has a theory
which he expresses in the maxim:
'Take a rest before you are tired" and,
accordingly, he sits down every eight OF
ten steps. His demeanor towards doc
tors with whom he happens to be unac-
quainted makes him greatly feared by
them, and some eight or ten years ago a
kind of public agitation was got up in
opposition to him in which many hun
dreds of doctors took part. Resolutions
and addresses were presented, and ech-
oes of the gathering storm made them
selves heard in the press. These mani
festations of feeling were speedily re-
pressed in the way characteristic of
Russia. The then eral-governor OF
Moscow, Prince Dolgorukoff, sent fol-
the editor of the medical journal in
which the addresses were printed and
told him that if he printed word more
about Zakharin, he would have to leave
Moscow in twenty-four hours time.
His eccentricities, however, cease at the
bedside of his patient; there he is COURT
eous and consideratoj most palnstaklng
and minute in his examination, and
very thorough in his treatment. So sue
cessful has he been in his profession that
he is believed to be worth some half
million sterling.

HARPER's WEEKLY, the great mug
wump organ, advises the Democratic
party to expel Senators Morgan, Pugh,
Irby, George, Coke, Butler, Call and a
number of other prominent people who
are bringing discredit on it and its
pledges" The Weekly has been for the
brand of tariff reform, advocated by
President Cleveland, and it certainly
knows that if the Senators named leave
the Democratic party no tariff bill can
pass during this administration. Can it
be that the Weekly wants to see the
tariff bill defeated and its White House
prophet discredited by his own party?

Beware of ointments for Catarrh that
Contain Mercury,

Beware of ointments for Catarrh that
Contain Mercury,
as mercury will surely destroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering it through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles
should never be used except on pre-
scriptions from reputable physicians, as
the damage they will do is ten fold to
the good you can possibly derive from
them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufac-
tured by F. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo, o.,
contains no mercury, and is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system. In
buying Halls Catarrh Cure be sure you
get the genuine. 1t is taken internally,
and made in Toledo, o., by F. j. Cheney
