Usual transactions of Business Con-
solid atd and NV Nois Issued.-
The Usual Local Exhibition of "En-
terprise.>
The other two local daily papers discov-
cred Friday evening, through column
interview in the Cleveland Leader, that
Revenue Collector Ohliger is moving
against manufacturers and Others who is
sued scrip as currency, In 1893, and that
1t is expected to add millions OF dollars to
the governments revenue. That 1t con-
tained no other facts than those first Civ

over week ago, the reproduction Of 1t at
this late day shows startling diminu-
tion In the customary powers OF these
papers to assimilate the good things
brought to light by their moro en-
terprising contemporaries.
Russell 81 Company are indignant over
the attempt of the government and set
forth their side of the case as follows:
RUSSELL AND CoMPANYs side.
Massillon, o., December 21.-President
MoClymonds, of Russell & Co.. says Of
the scrip controversy
"The collector remarks upon our sur
prise when confronted by the govern
ment's claim of 10 per cent, and seems to
believe that we are alarmed by the
prospect. 1t is proper under the oircum-
stances for us to say that the only sur
prise to which we have been subjected is
that Mr. Ohliger should come upon us
with claim based upon an opinion given
by Attorney General Devens about twenty
years ago and subsequently decided ad-
versely by Judge McKennan, Of the
United States circuit court of Pennsyl-
vania.
"That decision grew out of the issue of
Philadelphia and Reading Railroad wage
certificates, and our notes were so drawn
as to possess even greater st 'ength than
those of the company named We were
fully conversant with the law under which
Mr.. Ohliger is operating VII our notes
were issued, and acted knowingly in every
step we then took. We have not since
had occasion to change our minds, and
the charge that we entertain the slightest
doubt rs to the correctness of our position
is utterly false. The paper upon which
the collector desires to tax us 10 per cent.
was all in the form OF promissory note,
and none of it went into general oircula.

notes, and when. they passed out of Their
hands by the ordinary operations Of bust
ness they were returned to this office and
consolidated, a new bankable note being
exchanged therefor. Not one of these
notes was ever reissued. The interview OF
the collector reflects seriously upon us, and

HEREDITARY INSANITY.
An Alliance Woman Examined by
Probate Judge Wise.

She Will Go Back to An Asylum in
Which She Was Born Twenty-Five
Years Ago.
Judge Wise has passed on peculiar insane
case at Alliance. 1t is that of Miss Olive
Pierson, who lives southeast of Mt, Union.
For some time past Miss Pierson has been act
ing in a strange manner and her sister, Mrs.
Sarah Steiner, placed her under the care of Dr.
s. F. Balinger. She suspected her relatives of
conspiring to kill her, and said that they had
placed electricity and dynamite under her bed
to blow her up. Insanity is hereditary, Miss
Fierson having been born while her mother
was an inmate of an asylum. She is 20 years
of age.

FOR LOCAL OPTION.
Agents of the Anti-Saloon League
Working Hard.

For the Passage of the Haskell Bill
The Legislature TO be Flooded With
Petitions and Deluged Withworkers.
The agents of the Anti-Saloon League
are said to be as busy as beavers with
work for the Haskell bill. Although
the officers Of the league are saying little
about tine outlook 1t is evident that they
are hopeful of the passage of the measure.
A Cleveland dispatch says that in near
ly every business block and public institu
tion Of the city the petitions Of the league
are being circulated. Before long another
congress will be held in that city in the
interests Of the billy and shortly after the
legislature convenes march will be made
upon the state capitol. Bushels of the
petitions will be carried on this march,
the idea being to make an impression
upon the lawmakers that will tell when
the bill comes up for action.

most distressing of all diseases, Eczema, but
can now say truthfully that l am entirely
cured. l tried some OF the best physicians
in the country, but they did me little good.
The palms of my hands were covered, and
would become iniiamed; little white blisters
at first would appear, then they would peel
of, leaving q red, smooth sdrface which would
burn like fire and itch; well, there is no name
for 10. On the inside of the upper part OF
both my limbs, great red blotches not unlike
hives would appear, and as soon as became
warm, the burning and itching would begin.
Night after night would lie awake all night
and scratch, and almost go wild. ! heard OF
CUTIcURA remedies, got box OF CUTICURA

The storm Along the Grand Trunk.

The storm yesterday among the noun
tains continued longer than it did here,
and was perfect downpour. 1t extended
from Island Pond down, and railroad men
say will make a great change in the as
pect of things 1t was an odd storm in
many respects. W. e. Perkins of Paris
Hill. who was here yesterday, said that
during Wednesday night rain fell in tor
rents in some sections Of his town, and
not drop but ittis way from what
seemed to be the storm belt. Later in
the day, Il curiously enough, this state OF
things was exactly reversed, and the rain
fell on the dry ground, while not drop
fell on the section visited by the rain of
the previous night. The railroad men
who watched the showers rise and break
all day, said that at times, especially
among the mountains, it was a striking
sight. Showers formed, and seemed to
go along parallel lines, with short
neutral ground between them on which
no rain fell, this of course being before
the general rain set in with such tremen-
dous force. Then cross shower were
observed that rose up from opposite
points, and mingled at last. Take 1t all
in all they never saw more curious
series of miniature storms rise and pass
away. They had the effect of thorough
ly wetting down the entire county, how
ever, and will help out the rivers greatly.
Manufacturers had become rather
alarmed at the prospect of a low and in
adequate water supply.

A ROUGH EXPERIENCE.
An Unfortunate Accident That Broke Up a
Wedding Reception.

Wednesday evening there was a we'd
ding reception given near Cotton street.
and all went we'll as wedding receptions
arc apt to do until two young men hap
pened to find bottle bearing the label
of well-known and very popular brand
of liquid refreshment.
They concluded to sample it and filled
their glasses. Had they left no heel taps
it would have been a case for coroner,
but as it was, one ony took little of
the compound, and the other "only a
mouthful 1t was all they wanted.
A second later the guests were horri-
fed when the two young fellows were
found to be in fearful agony. One of
them, the one who got the larger portion
of the liquid, exclaimed I'm burning
up" and we'll might he say so, for the
stuff he had taken was cheerful COM
pound composed of a slight 5ouch of car
bolic acid, larger portion ofsaammonia
and the balance of potash.
.'We'r poisoned, said the young fell
low who only got a taste of the stuff, and
there was confusion generally, 1.-The other
guests expecting to be Frustrated in turn.
When asked what they had taken the
unfortunate young follows could only
point to the bottle, and a woman who
had been cleaning the house said with
evident horror, "That's the stuffsl've
been cleaning with"
The young men were assisted to their
homes, and hardly reached there before
they became unconscious. Strong salt
and water was administered by friends
who felt that they fought to do some
thing and then DR.. O'Neil was sent
for and succeeded in saving them, al
though it was close call for the one who
got the most of the stuff down. AT
late hour last evening when DR.. O'Nell
was telephoned regarding their condition,
he replied that they We're coming
round al right
Their escape was something remark
able, and it WILDE long time before they
will fully recover from the effect of the
deadly fluid they drank. OF course the
fiery stuff burned "clean down" as one

they found that it was cleaning com

cause OF the trouble was very great, as
it removed from their minds and other

other guests sampled. M
