Don't Sell Your Sheen.

An exchange tenders the following ad-
vice to sheep owners: We advise sheep
owners not to sell the animals at great
sacrifice. Even should wool be placed
upon the free list, which, We regret to
say now seems probable, it will not re-
main there long. A Congress more
friendly to American industries will soon
be chosen. Besides, there is a growing
demand for mutton as a food in this
country, and sheep of marketable age
and condition always bring good prices.
1t has been demonstrated by one of the
experiment stations that discarding the
wool, a pound of mutton can be grown
cheaper than a pound of beef, while the
the former always brings higher price
than the latter, and it is worth it because
it is more nutritious and safer food, as
sheep are much more free from infectious
diseases than cattle. The people of the
United States are just beginning to learn
the value of lamb and mutton as food,
and their consumption is rapidly increas-
ing. Mutton chops retail the country
over at IL to % cents a pound. These
facts show there is no dearth of demand
for good lambs and mutton. The low
price of common sheep at the Western
stockyards is cansed by the senseless
panic sending forward unprepared stock.

Interesting Find.

Last week, says the Martins Ferry
News, while some men were quarrying
sandstone on the Giffen farm, on the top
of the hill back of Bridgeport, they found
a well preserved and partly petrified
skeleton. 1t had been buried in cavity
over which was placed large fiat rock.
1t was evidently the skeleton of a very
large man. The most wonderful thing
found was stone pipe, about 3 inches
long and shaped like the pipes of the
present day. 1t is all one piece, and the
hole running through the stem to the
bowl must have required much labor and
skill. In the bowl of the pipe were the
half burned ashes of the tobacco that had
been used probably over hundred years
ago. On the The bowl are nine hicks,
which are interpreted to mean the num-
Der of scalps taken by the owner.

THERE seems to be decided falling

that they have gone to join COxey's army.

will pass eastward by way of Wheeling.

Three Toads.

A curious story is told by the Barnes
vile Enterprise as follows: The little 2
year old son of Mr.. Jesse Reitz, of Barnes
vile, was in poor health for some time
and all the medical aid possible was Civ.
en- him, but the malady remained mys
terry, too deep to solve. AS the child oc
casionally acted in manner to invite
the belief that it had worms, he was
treated accordingly, and last week the
little sufferer became the "hero of the
hour" Three toads were brought from
the child. The only solution to the mys.
terry is that the child had eaten something
on which the eggs were deposited.

Drs. France & ottman's Successful

Treatment of Chronic Diseases.
Our many readers who have been ben
efitted by the remarkable skill of Drs.
France & Ottman, will be pleasd to know
that they have decided to make return
visit to your city. The remarkable cures
performed by Drs. France & Ottman
have created wonder throughout the
country. Drs. France & Ottman have
originated and perfected system of de-
termining, with the greatest accuracy,
the nature of chronic diseases by a per
sonal examination of the patient. They
obtain their knowledge of the patients
disease by the practical application of
we'll established principles of modern
science to the practice of medicine, and
it is to the accuracy with which this sys-
tenn has endowed them that they owe
their almost world wide reputation in the
skillful treatment of all lingering or
chronic affections. The doctors have es-
tablished an excellent reputation in this
community, and their practice has stead
lily increased until it is now undoubtedly
the largest in the State. There is but
one way to explain success of this
kind-they cure their patients their
reputation has been honestly earned
Their cures are, in some instances, start
ling in their nature, having been perform
ed after the highest authorities and the
most celebrated representatives of the
different schools of practice had pro-
nounced the fiat of doom and declared
them to be beyond the limits OF the cura-
BILE. A consultation on the above date
will cost you nothing and it may be the
means of bringing you health and hap
piness, and make your life a pleasure in
stead of a burden.-The News.
