Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes
pure, rich blood, and to gain in blood is
nearly always to gain in 1Ohoiesome flesh up
to the healthy standard.
Every one should have a certain surplus
Of flesh to meet the emergencies of sick
ness to resist the attack of consumption,
grip. malaria and fevers. Thin blooded
people are always getting sick, and none of
the organs of the body can get along with
out the food they require for work, which is,
pure blood. To gain and to keep strength
and flesh Is the secret of health, usefulness
and happiness With new blood and re-
freshed nerves confident feeling of return
ing health comes also.
Nervous manifestations, such as Sleep
lessness, nervous debility and nervous
prostration are in nine cases out of ten "the
cry of the starved nerves for food" If you
feed the nerves on pure rich blood the
nervous symptoms will cease. 1t is bad
practice to put the nerves to sleep with So
called celery mixtures, coca compounds or
malt extracts what is needed is blood
maker. The Discovery" is composed of
vegetable ingredients which have an es-
pecial effect upon the stomach, liver, and
blood making glands. For the cure of
dyspepsia, indigestion, liver complaint,
weakened vitality, and for puny, pale peo-'
pie, DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry cannot be equaled. Thousands have
testified to its merits.

do further find that the Commissioners
living at distance from the county seat
whenever attending regular and called or
special sessions have charged for mileage to
the county seat and return, except for regu-
lar sessions when they charge but once dur
ing that session. The law allows Commiss-
toner's five cents per mile for their necessary
travel for each regular or called session, not
exceeding one session each month or twelve
in any one year. The Commissioners have
great many special sessions in this county
and am of the opinion that the law does
not allow mileage for more than twelve
times year when coming to the county seat
for that purpose. Also when travelling in
the county or out of it on official business
under the direction of the board, the. Com
missioners charge their mileage, also car
fare or livery hire as the case may be, think
this is contrary to the law.
The stationery bill of the county, includ-
ing blank books and postage, amounted in
the year to over $2,700. ! think the Com

Dobbins' Electric Soap is

Dobbins' Electric Soap is
cheaper for you to use, if you
follow directions, than any
other Soap would be, if given
to you; for by It's use clothes
the saved. Clothes cost more
than soap This soap cost
in 1869 twenty cents a bar.
Now it cost nine. 1t contains
precisely the same ingredients,
and no others, now as then,
and costs less than half. Buy
it Of your grocer, use it and
preserve your clothes. If he
hasn't it, he knows that he can
buy it of his wholesale grocer.
The genuine always has our
name on the wrapper. Look
out for limitations. There are
many OF them.
PRESERVA. of clothes by the
TION EIectriesoap' % is an
established fact of a generation. 1t is
not an experiment or wild assertion,
but absolutely true. Think carefully
whether you prefer to save a cent or
two on soap. or dollars on clothes.
You can't do both. Buy Dobbins'

Report Of Committee.

To the Hon. John M. Sheets, Judge Of the
Common Pleas Court of Henry Co., U.
SIR: We, the undersigned, having been
appointed by you at the September term,
1894. of said court, to examine the Com
of Henry county for the fiscal year ending
August 81, 1894, in compliance with said
appointment, we began our investigation
on tho 9Th day of October, 1894. In the per-
formance of our duties we found 1t expedlent
to examine several witnesses and also to re-
fer to the books, records and vouchers OF the
various county officers, and from lntorma-
ton derived from the several sources, beg
leave to submit the following as the result
of our labors:
COUNTY FUND.
From the Commissi oners report we find
that the rate of taxation for county fund
was Al mills-this includes special levy OF
/ mill for the payment of bonded indebted
ness of $35, ,O0O and interest-$5,OOo OF which
Indebtedness and interest is payable annu-
ally. The rate for county fund purposes is
as high as the law will permit. we tnd
that the amount collected and certified into
said fund.- in the usual manner, amounted
| to $27899.07, and that the expenditures from
said fund amounted, as reported, to $32,
| SAT 93, leaving an expenditure over and
above receipts of $4G4866. We find that on
September LIST, 1888. said fund was over
drawn in the sum of $S61l.7, which, with
the above, would make a total overdraft of
$13260.63 But, in order to relieve the
county fund of its uubonded Indebtedness
the Commissioners passed resolution on
May 7th, 1894, transferring $4,000 from the
building fund into county fund, claiming
that the building fund had q surplus of that
amount; or would have at the close OF pres
ent fiscal year, and that by virtue OF Section
S76 Revised Statute of Ohio, ordered the
county Auditor to transfer said amount into
county fund, which was done ON the 27th
day of August, 1894. After transferring said
$4,000 into county fund the same shows a
balance of $2,739,37 on Sept. lst, 1884. We
find that said transfer was not in accordance
with said section, as the building fund was
not settled at that time and therefore il
would have been impossible to know what
the unexpended balance was. If the fund
had been settled and no levy madefor build.
ing fund purposes for the year 1894, the
Commissioners would have had legal
authority for their cotton. We also find
that many orders which should have been
drawn ON the county fund were drawn on
the general ditch fund and building fund
for instance, fees of the Auditor for ditch
work were drawn on general ditch FUND
when they should have been drawn or
county fund. All fees for county ditch wori
should first be paid out of county fund
All fees to the county Auditor. Commissions
ers and Probate Judge, we find, except as tt
Auditor, were paid out of the county fund
but as to other fees, they were paid out o.
general ditch fraud. The law provides as tt
all fees in county ditch cases, except tt
Commissioners, Auditor and Probate Judge
that the county fund shall be reimbursed

EASTON HAS AN EPIDEMIC OF
TURKEY BUZZARD.

Every winter for several years past Eas-
ton has had an epidemic of turkey buzzards.
They have literally swarmed to town, and
for weeks made themselves at home with
out any ceremony.
This winter the number of buzzards to he
seen in town is larger than ever. They
seem to have come from all directions
north, east, south, and west. For two or
three weeks past hundreds of them could
be seen any day by a person walking
through town.
The birds seem to he not in the least
afraid of people, Indeed, they treat with
apparent contempt any effort made to fright
en- them away. Shout or rush at one or
throw something at it, and it will spread
its wings like a funeral pail, open wide its
homely beak and make as if ready to do
battle
1t is not on the outskirts of town alone
these scavcngcrs are to be found they can
be seen in scores along South, Colds
borough, Harrison Hanson and other resi-
dence streets, and even busy Washington
street is frequently visited by them.
Any day they can be seen perched on the
roofs of dwelling houses, on fences, barns
and other outhOuses. In several instances
recently they have been seen in yards, down
among the chickens, helping to dispose of
the chickens food.
One lady living on South street says she
heard a great noise one day last week at
her sitting room window On investigat-
ing she saw big buzzard perched on the
window-sill, violently beating its wings
against the window as if seeking admit
lance.
Where the birds come from is not known.
The general belief is that owing to the
scarcity of carton in the country round
about town they are driven here by hunger
Their visits are generally regarded as a
sign of little sickness, because of the lack
of filth which drives them to eat anything
they can find.
If they have come to town to clean the
streets, citizens will welcome them gladly
They are rather short on beauty but long
on scavenger Abilities and the streets of
Easton are in such condition to invite
birds and animals of that kind -Easton

With hearts humping hard, for we felt
it to be a matter of life and death, the
boat was propelled forward on the left side
of the whale, and glided past his ilukes.
Andrews planted his foot on the rail, and
seized the lance pole in both hands.
The whale moved slightly forward; but
the boat continued overreaching him for
several seconds, till we were nearly abreast
his shoulder
Then the mate lunged at him with a will
burying the lance in his side.
He had struck the life" the lance en-
tered so deeply. that Andrews went half
overheard with it.
The whale squirmed spasmodically then
started forward, staving in the broadside of
the boat before we could edge off. We
jumped out and dived as deep as possibl,i
to escape a second blow.

A Boom
i'm Business.

This week we will turn out forty-one
finish garments. Instead of torty-one it
should be one hundred next, If buyers knew
what bargains awaiting them. The price is
not the on Y attraction at this store, but the
reliability OF everything sent out. The fine
wool, the good trimmings, and above all the
sure fits, have become proverbial There must
be genuine merit somewhere, when orders are
coming faster than they ever did before, all
through panicky season, showing plainly the
more careful buyers are, the more goods
sell Look around, but this stock before
you buy.

POULTRY PlCklNGS.

Grapvines planted in the chicken
runs and trained to the fence afford
shade to poultry; and also fruit to the
farmer in autumn. The vines should
be trained high up.
In warm weat ther wthitewash and
carbolic acid should be applied freely
to the interior Of all hen houses as well
as nests and roosts. We usually
whiten up everything about the poul
try quarters every three weeks the
year around. A white building is more
attractive Than a dingy one. The fowls
like 1t, and this alone is a good reason
for keeping 1t so.
Eggs should be gathered daily and
stored in dry place, not a cellar.
Fifty degrees is safe temperature.
Eggs intended for hatCIhing should be
gently turned once day. Egg cases
holding two or more dozen are con-
venient for this purpose. 1t repays
the farmer to properly care for the
eggs and not permit them to remain
longer than q day in the nest.
Never use ashes or line to mix with
hen manure. If either is used, away
goes the ammonia, which is the most
valuable part of the manure. Every
morning with shovel and scraper the
floor of the hen house should be thor
oughly scraped and the accumulation
placed in barrels in dry shed close
at hand. When enough has been stored
it may be used in semi-liquid form
about the strawberry vines, currant
and raspberry bushes and other fruit
and vegetable plants. 1t will pay to
look after the manure and not throw
it cut, unmindful of It's value.
There are people who make poultry
pay largely and others who do not
Experience has taught that there Is
no legitimate business which pays bet
ter, but 1t must be conducted with care
and skill. The lack of these is why
nine-tenths of our farmers do not
make 1t a success. A farmer who
keeps a strict ledger account of all
the returns and expenditures from his
poultry Is an exception. Many keep
no account at all. SUCH are the ones
who cry poultry don't pay" Lack
OF experience, patience, system and
understanding of the amount of work
connected with poultry raising tell the
reason of their failure.

The State Pamphlet Laws.

The pamphlet laws for 1896 are
ready for distribution and Chief Clerk
Gearhart of the state department, has
already shipped more than half to the
prothonotaries, county officers and
justices Of the peace. The volume is
the largest one that has ever been pub
lished under the new constitution,
there being about 200 pages more Of
the laws than in any previous edition.
There were one hundred and eighteen
more laws and ffty-three more resolu-
tons approved in 1895 than in 1898
and that was the largest volume mp to
that date.
The number of bills vetoed in 1906
exceed those of any former year, being
one hundred and twenty three in num-
Der, and these are now being printed.

Sand Baths.

The mud baths OF Marlenbad have
slipped over to this country on a sum-
mer vacation. They have settled all
along the coast, climbed up into the
mountains and dropped down TO the
dales, not forgetting to stop over at the
country homes and little by-places.
What does 1t all mean? Why, that the
foreign idea OF getting beauty from dirt
has Travelled to America, and that the
bellies of the summer have fastened up
on It with their pretty hands and have
adopted II as their own.
But about sand baths. They come
down to the beach every day, and, select
ing a smooth place on the sand, spread
themselves out and take things COM
fortably The game Is to sit as deep and
as fiat In the sand as possible Without
getting down where 1t Is damp The
hotter the sand so much the better. A
broad shade hat protects the eyes and
nose, and the cheeks can take care OF
themselves. These girls wear tan leath-
er gloves.

them is that when they do little good

he gets to loathe the taste. The Pin.
