A SUM IN FINANCES.
An Every Day Transaction.
Let Some Financier EX-
plain the Reasons Why.

A day or so ago we stepped in the
Bank and witnessed practical work
ing out of financial situation. The
Postmaster and Newt Stiers were
making deposits. Mr.. Stiers had a
number of trade dollars. These dol
lars, we are told, contain more silver
metal than the dollars in general use
The Bank would give Mr.. Stiers
credit for only fifty five cents for each
of his trade dollars, although We all
know that these dollars were thrown
into business circles at their face value
100 cents to the dollar.
The Postmaster had half dozen or
more pieces of money showed back ON
him. They were Canadian Dimes"
They contain more silver than our
American Dime. The Postmaster
took them at face value, giving a
dimes worth of stamps for each. The
Bank refused them because they are
not worth ten cents. Now how is this.
Why are our Silver Coins, containing
less silver, worth less in the markets of
the world, if sold as bullion, equal in
value with the gold dollar, the dollar
of any nation on earth.
We discuss profoundly the issuing
OF millions and hundreds of millions
of coins, money by the government.
We advise Congress and Bankers and
Syndicates. VIII some of our read
ers Who are up on the financial ques-
ton, just explain why it is that the
Silver Dollar goes for a dollar, and
the Trade Dollar with more silver in
it. don't. Why is not the Canadian

A REPUBLICAN, RATTFI-
CATION MEETING.
A So Called Senatorial
Convention.

The Republicans of this Senatorial
District, are called to meet in Mari
eta on pext Thursday. Thc large
bills say-to nominate two candidates
for Senator. This is only a faker
scheme to fool the silly. The nom-
ination has already been settled,
Washington and Athens counties
have agreed upon the candidates;
Falcon Of Athens and Dana of
Washington. All the talk of an
open convention, free ballot and n
fair count, is Chinese Tom Tom,
noise to fool the outside fellows.
The other counties of the District, a
month ago, were putting in training
favorite nags for the race. Lancas-
terhad Clay Drunkle and Mayor
Carpenter; in Logan we had Pursell,
Bruce Dollison, John F. White and
Vickers; Vinton had Dan, VIII and
Tony Barleon, all capable men for
the place, all good Republicans de-
serving of party recognition. They
were not formerly announced, but
friends were canvassing their merits
and helping on the chances.
None of them are in it.
Athens county is doing the whole
business, and not only for the Dis
trict but for the outlying state.
The season show is organized thus:
For Governor:
Chas. II. Grosvenor,
of Athens.
For Lieutenant Governor:
Bronte Jewet,
of Athens.
For Auditor of State:
A. j. Frame,
of Athens.
For Clerk of Supreme Court:
ST Allen,
of Athens.
For Attorney General:
- Jones,
of Athens.
For Speaker Of the House of Rep;
David Sleeper,
of Athens.
After the Marietta ratification, the
Athens further arrangement Will be
provided atZanesville for ratification,
also.
We admire our little city Athens
for her subliMity OF conceit.

The DrOutll.

This neighborhood has been suffer
ing from the severest drouth, and the
hottest weather for the season. evr
known to our oldest inhabitant. There
has been no rain, not more than
enough to settle the dust, since elec-
ton day. The heat has been intense.
Last Saturday and Sunday the ther-
mometer registered 90 and 50. On
Monday ii was 9S. This is phenom-
ilial for dog days. 1t is the heat of
the desert. Last year our very hot
test weather was June 20 and u, '93
and '94.
The farmers are complaining of the
effect of the continued dry weather on
wheat and grass, both crops likely to
be short.

THE Mckay Journal informs us
that Coroner lyons has notified a
college oprofessor iii Columbus to
hold until further orders, the stom.
ach of Amerlne, recently sent fol
chemical analysis, to determine
whether or.not the deceased had
been poisoned. The Journal then
Significantly remarks that Kreig
and Juniper voted against appropi-
ating money for the analysis while
Voris voted for it, adding"nothing
more can he done until there is
u change of commissioners"
What more is proposed to have
done?
On the strength of neighborhool
gossip the Coroner took un the
remains Of a man named Amerine.
The Coroner conceived the theory
that the man had been poisoned. To
crafty his curiosity in this regard
he concludes to have the stomach
analyzed, to see if it contained any
"Rough on Rats" He sends it to
a Columbus expert. who, to make the
analysis, would charge hundreds of
dollars. Arch Kreig, any chemist
or physician of Logan can apply the
tests and determine the presence Of
Rough on Rats.
But what are we to understand by
the Journals conclusions? VIII the
incoming Board enter into this ex-
perimental scheme of the Coroner,
and involve an expense of perhaps a
thousand dollars? We have Grand
Jury TO look after crimes committed.
We have physicians, chemists TO
make all reasonable tests for poison
ing. The Coroner and his organ are
flying too high. The public will
sustain the action of our Democratic
Commissioners.

faithful wife and hel pmate, a mother
of ever watchfuf care and devotion to
her children.
The funeral will be from the resi-
dence this afternoon at 8 o'clock, fit
time and in keeping with the going out
and going down of one whose life has
been a light and comfort in the morn
ing and MONDAY ofhealth and strength,
ending like the soft repose of the
closing day. Her memory is cherish
ed, and 1t is the Christians humble
trust that the Giver of all Good has
called her to a higher and happier ex
istence.
Were star quenched on high,
For ages would its light.
Still travelling downward from the sky,
Shine mortal
So when n good one dies,
For years beyond our ken
The light she leaves behind her lies

TIE SITUATION in the mining re-
slons Is in a deplorable condition.
Work is suspended. The parties in
interest can not agree. We do not
understand the reason for the en-
forced idleness of nearly ten thous-

retical notions and abstract princi-
bles. The sad fact exists that the
miners are idle and in distress, In
this age and region of plenty, is
likely again to afflict the Valley. We
do hope matters can be SO arranged

Said in a Recent Lecture on Chronic
Catarrh and Consumption.

Catarrh of the lungs is, ordinarily
known as consumption; also called
tuberculosis. In these cases the ca
tarrh has usually found its way into
the lungs by gradual extension of the
disease from the throat through the
bronchial tubes. Consumption is the
natural termination of all cases of neg
lected chronic catarrh. Every one
who is affected with chronic catarrh is
liable to be attacked with consumption
at any time. In the first stages of the
disease Pe-ru-na is a sure cure; in the
latter stages of the disease Pe-ru-na
cannot be relied upon to produce great
benefit, and in a large per cent OF
cases produces a permanent cure. AL
those afflicted with this dread disease
should begin at once the following
treatment.
After all other means have beer
tried in vain; after doctors have pro-
nounced the case helpless and friends
have given up in despair, after the
patient has lost all faith and the in
cessant care of attendants seems futile.
still there is hope in Pe-ru-na. Send
