Auditor Halliday has written to the
Henry Co., Signal to explain that he
did not refuse to give that part of the
public printing which is required to
be done in two papers of opposite
politics, to the Democratic paper of
Columbus. Then he says that the
Press Post is the Democratic paper.
OF course no Democrat in Franklin
county so regards it. 1t is one of the
stipendiary gang papers of fColumbus
that stands in with the bosses and
looters, and never utters a word
against gang methods. 1t advocates
the election of Democratic candidates
for pay, just as the Journal, Dispatch,
NeeOs, Record and other Republican
and A. P. A. papers do, but never
for any other reason or from any
other consideration.
In 1882, in 1893 and again in 1894,
it refused to publish the Democratic
State ticket, because the Demo
cratic State Committee would not
pay it for so doing. Since it has gone
into it's brother and sister Republi-
can papers in Ohio to bolster up its
Democracy" Ee have concluded to
make the foregoing remarks for the
benefit of out of town people, especi-
ally the Henry Co., Signal. Every
one in Columbus understands all
about its politics and it's Democracy.

IN FAVOR OF HORSE MEAT.
Veterinarians Say They Know of No oh

Veterinarians Say They Know of No OBJ
lection to Its Use.
"Shall we eat horse?" is question
which a Philadelphia newspaper has
been putting to leading veterinarians.
in the affirmative, there was general
concurrence in the opinion that horse
meat makes rather good eating at q
pinch. Francis Bridge said, "The flesh
is as nutritious md in flavor as good as
that of the bovine, and / see no good
food" W. L. Zuill declared that he
would eat it in preference to pork. 1t
is ''more juicy and of better flavor than
OK flesh," no said. S. J. j. Hargar,
who had once eaten mule tenderloin,
found it inferior in fiber and taste to
beef.
E. M. Michiner thought that horse
flesh was not injurious to "human
health, and he pointed out that nei-
ther tuberculosis, actinomycosis or tri-
china was found in the horse, the ex-
ception being noted that rare cases Of
tuberculosis had been recorded. John
w. Gadsden believed that the flesh of
young horses properly cooked was good
for man, end he thought that if horses
got much cheaper there would be a
great tempSation to try it," Samuel G.
Weber said: 1.-THE flesh of the horse
seems to remain tender with age and
has more pungent SAVIOR than that Of
other animals. From these superior
qualities it may readily be seen why it
should be more digestible than other
meat, which often comes from animals
which are prematurely as well as ex-
cessively fattened. In Europe, where
raw meat is prescribed by physicians, it
is generally that Of the horse. They
claim it is more healthy for those un-
dergoing severe muscular exercise and
more nutritious for the weak and ane-
mic.
Alexander Glass sounded warning
in the following experience: "In two
instances, when ate horsefesh, found
the meat very tender and rather pleas
ant to the taste. At the time ! could
not shake off the thought, What if this
horse had incipient glanders? for some
of that meat was very rare" Several
years ago DR.. Huidekoper Of Philadel-
phia invited some members of the Phil
adelphia club and of the City troop to a
dinner, at the conclusion of which he
announced to his guests, who were much
pleased with the repast, that they had
dined off the carcass Of his old white
horse Fedora

MYSTERIOUS TIDES.
those OF THE LAKES THAT THE
skIPPERS CALL swAsHEs.

They Rise Suddenly From Calm Water and
Display Many Strange Caprices-An Old
Lake Erie Skipper Talks Interestingly
. on the Subject.
"Tidal waves on the great lakes are
not of uncommon occurrence" said an
old Lake Erie skipper, land although
meteorological experts have for more
than 100 years tried to study out their
cause we don't know any more about it
now than they did at the time the great
wave rose suddenly on Lake Erie, off
Rockport, and destroyed Colonel Brad
streets feet, in October, 1854. That
was the first tidal wave on the lakes
that we have any record of.
II have seen many of these swashes,
as we call them on the lakes, the last
nne about ten years ago, when my
schooner was swept high and dry at
Port Stanley by wave that seemed to
rise on the lake like some monster ma
rine animal coming from the depths to
the surface. We could see it rushing to-
ward us mile away. 1t came with
boiling front ten feet high, kissing like
loud escaping steam as it swept toward
US. That is peculiar thing about the
lake tidal waves. They do not come
with roar, like the ocean surf, but
with loud, kissing sound, and there is
only one instance on record where they
are sither accompanied or followed by
strong winds.
''That one instance was.at Toledo, in
December, 1856, when the wind, which
nad been blowing stiff offshore, sudden
~ whirled into bowling nor'easter,
and as quick as the change in the wind
that wave leaped out Of the lake and
camo hurting upon the shore, wild and
angry mass, eight feet high. In every
other recorded occurrence of these mys-
terious freaks of the lake waters the sur
face Of the lake has been perfectly calm
and the air scarcely perceptible.
''Such was the condition when that
big wave attacked US at Port Stanley,
swamping my schooner and drowning
one of my men. The wave receded as
fast as it had rushed in, and the lake,
in less than ten minutes, was as smooth
as mirror.
"Within the next hour there were
four more swashes, each one of less
force and volume, until the last was
scarcely more than ripple
"Almost the first thing remember,
for was but three years old at the
time, was one of these tidal waves. 1t
appeared early in the spring on the Can
ada shore, off Otter Creek. There was
piece of woods there then, with long
stretch of beach between it and the
lake. My father had 35 ton schooner
living off the shore half mile or more.

without warning of any kind, wave
lifted itself from the bosom Of the lake,
probably q miles out, and swept shore
ward with its mighty hiss. My mother
and I were with father on his schooner.
As that swash came rushing upon us it
seemed to me as if the leaping foam Of
its white crest was higher than the
schooner's masts, but I know now that
it was not more than 10 feet high.
The wave was high enough and strong
enough, though, to sweep the schooner
ashore as if it had been a cockleshell,
and across that stretch of beach into the
woods, where it was left among the
trees, a hopeless wreck.
"In ten minutes the lake was as calm
as ever, but an hour later a similar
wave appeared at Kettle Creek, 20 miles
from Otter Greek, and tumbled all sorts
of lake craft ashore

seen on any of the lakes was the one

harbor and Eagle river. That was in
August, 1916. This swash was more
than 30 feet high, and, like all of its
kind, sprung suddenly from the lake at
dead calm. 1t was a quarter of mile
distant from DR.. Fosters boat, which,
when the disturbance began. was direct
ly in the path of the wave. Itwas crest
ed with foam, and ourled over like q
mighty ocean surge. Before reaching
the boat, however, the wave turned sc
that its nearest extremity swept past il
at distance Of 30 feet, the water be-
tween that extremity and the boat being
scarcely rufled by the influence of the
rushing tide.
"The wave was only half mile from
shore, but Notwithstanding its great
size and velocity it never reached there
The same mysterious caprice that caused
it to change its course and pass harm
lessly by the vessel seemed to seize il
once more, and it sank rapidly from it,

PREPARING A SWEDISH DELlcAcY.

''Yon Yonson" Heege Describes the Process
In 'Tittle Scandinavia"
''In Little Scandinavia, which in
cludes two or three of the counties in
northern Wisconsin, where the Swedes,
Norwegians, and Danes have settled in
great numbers" says Gus Heege, the
impersonator of Yon Yonson and the
originator of Swedish dialect comedy
on the stage, "butchering week each
fall is one of the busiest and merriest
times of the whole year. The entire
family-mother, father and children
have a hand in the work, and they are
frequently assisted by the nearest neigh
bors, who sometimes come three or four
miles across the hills.
"Butchering with the Scandinavians
means the saving and utilization of ev-
cry part of the beef or hog of the smallest
value. Even the blood is preserved, and
it appears later in the winter, when the
thermometer is down below zero and
supplies are short, in the form of blood
pudding or blood cake, both of which are
very nourishing as we'll as toothsome
dishes. The preparation of these COM
pounds is entirely the work Of the wom-
en- and the smaller children. AS soon as
the men are ready to begin the work of
killing, mother comes out with her
hands full of pans and pals, and the
boys and girls follow with little wisps
of brooms or twigs bound up in neat
bundles. The blood of the ani1Sal is
caught in the pans, and the children are
soon at work stirring it with the twigs
in order to keep the fibrin from collect
ing in clots. Many little arm grows
weary before the mother says the blood
has been sufficiently stirred, and the

We present to our readers with this
issue a beautiful Art Supplement con-
sisting of two Photographic repro
ductions of that wonder of two mod
ern ages, the Columbian Exposition.
The pictures that we have the pleas
ure of distributing among our read
ers are samples from that beautiful
art work, the Dream City, the con-
troll of which had been secured us. 1t
is being offered as souvenir to our
readers. With a double motive in
view we issue this Art Supplement,
in the first place it is handsome
present to our subscribers, and in the
second place it conveys a better idea
than a column of descriptive could of
the beautiful series of pictures con-
tanned in our selected views. As we
have already stated in our advertis-
ing columns and otherwise, we pro-
pose to give to new subscribers and
to those already readers who renew
for one year, a handsome bound vol
une OF sixty-four selected photograph
ic views of the Worlds Columbian
Exposition. Each one of these views
is 8x10 inches in size and is accom-
panied by an interesting and accu-
rate description. III purchased as
original photographs these engrav-
ings would cost at least SOC each. In
order to secure this beautiful and in
structive collection it is only neces-
sary to subscribe for year; to renew
for that period or to send in a new
yearly subscriber with the proper re-
mittance, $1.20, and the work will be
sent prepaid and the paper one year.
The Roster of Ohio soldiers is near
ly completed. The total cost will be
about $3.50, 900 expended in ten years.
Copy for the twelfth and last volume
of the roster, which comprises1ists of
the Ohioans who served in the navy
during the rebellion and in the United
States army in the Mexican war, is
now ready for the printer The bids
for printing it, which were opened
Friday, show the lowest estimates
made since the work began, the price
asked having fallen from 81 a volume
in 1886 to GA cents in 1895. The 10
volumes of the roster, with their com
prehensive index, will make small
library. They are each ten by seven
inches in size and average about 800
pages. Nearly 400, 200 names will ap-
pear in the completed roster, which it
is believed will include every organi-
cation as we'll as every individual ac-
credited to Ohio during the Rebellion
and the Mexican wars. There is q
vast deal of useful information as
well as statistics embodied in the ros-
ter and it is believed that all the mat
ter is as accurate as it was possible
to make it under the circumstances,
much of the records from which the
information had to be gathered hav-
ing been lost or destroyed.

GET RICH.

That is a piece Of advice very
much like the doctors, when he
advised the poor man to take a
sea voyage; or the poor woman
to take good nourishing food
and a glass of port wine. We
don't need to be told to get rich
but we do need to be told how
to do it.
There are many ways to get
money. Speculation is one way.
You can buy stocks, bonds,
shares, etc.. but all this re-
qnires capital to start with, and
you have none, we will sup
pose. Then you must begin
saving money, but this only
shifts the shoe that pinches to
the other foot. How to save
money is nearly as great a prob
lem as how to get rich. 1t is
very well to say, "save mon
ey." That is what we started
out to tell you and everybody,
how money saved on your nee
essary expenses may lay the
foundation for fortune for you;
and you can save money every
time you trade by buyingcheap.
That's no news, you will
probably say. Of course you
can save by buying cheap. You
could also fly if you had wings.
You can do anything if you
know how. You are quite
willing to save on your buying
if you know where to CO.
That's what we are getting at.
We would not waste your time
by offering all this advice with
out having a practical end in
view. IF you want to buy
goods at prices which will save
you much money don't fail to
visit the large drug and book
house of Saur & Balsley. You
can not only save big money
on the necessary medicines
which your family need at this
especial season Of the year, but
also on wall and window pa
pers, paints, oils, varnishes and
brushes. While the season is
drawing near when it becomes
necessary to lay in new stock
Of these goods, our stock on

latest patterns and best goods
