The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at
least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in all
its stages and that is Catarrh.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known TO the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. HalPs
Catarrh Cure Is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation
of the disease and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work, The proprietors
have SO much faith in its curative
powers, that they offer One Hun
dred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for list of Testi-

Jewish Wedding.

An event, both unique and inter-
csting, which occurred in our city
at the residence Of Mr.. John Mel
man in the West End last Sunday,
was the marriage of Mr.. Saul Solo
man to Miss Mollie Sherman all Of
Logan, according to the Jewish
rites. The young couple had re-
Gently been married by squire,
but this is not sufficient as the
rules of their church demand that
at the first opportunity the mar
riage must be resolemnized accord
ing to the rites Of the Jewish
Church by Jew Rabbi, and last
Sunday had been designated as the
time for this important event in
Jewish circles to take place.
About fifty guests had been invited
to witness the ceremony and par
take Of the feast which is an i'm
portant factor at a Jewish wedding
Quite large number Of Christians,
or Gentiles, as the Jews term us,
were present and were interested
spectators at this, the first Jewish
wedding in Logan.
AT p. IN. the happy couple re-
paired to the lawn whore the ccre-
mopy was solemnized under a
canopy, in order that the large con-
course of people assembled might
have an opportunity Of witnessing
this unusual event in our city. The
reading of the Jewish marriage
service and the ring ceremony oc-
cupied about fifteen minutes after
which the invlted guests repaired
to the dining room where three
large tables were loaded down
with all the delacies of the season
that the most fastidious gourmand
could wish, and the feast of reason
and flow of soul commenced in
earnest. One of the large tables
had been reserved exclusively for
those of the guests who were moi
of the Jewish persuasion. After
feasting to their hearts content the
Jews enjoyed themselves and en-
tertained the Gentle guests with
some quaint Greek songs which
were both interesting and anus
ing.
Among those present who Wit
messed the ceremonies and Occupied
seats at the festal board were;
Rabbi Guska, Joseph Harris and
wife, David Harris and wife, Mr..
Zeff and wife, Mrs. Bester and Mr..
Ruddin Of Nelsonville, O., Mr.. and
Mrs. Atlas, of New StraitsyiIlc, O.,
Dr.. and Mrs. Lyon, Mr.. and Mrs.
James Oliver, Mr.. and Mrs. j. n.

Birthday Party.

Mrs. Charles Chase entertained
Saturday evening with jolly party
for the little folk In honor of Master
Harry's eighth birthday. 1t was a
combination birthday and Christ
mas party and there was merriment
not for the children who found to-
kens of Santa's altruistic spirit on
the previous day, but for those
whose only knowledge Of this
Christmas celebration was glimp-
Sc through windows of decorated
trees and bright holly berries; Cor
those whose faces grow old and
pinched while they are mere babes.
These little people were made to
realize that they were very well
come to the kindness oftheir young
host aud his sister, Martha Eliza
beth. and that the tall tree, among
whose branches the lights of many
candles glinted, loaded with its
sacks of sweet things and it's tin
seled bon-bons, was all for them.
Never were little guests so honored
or so merrily entertained. When
they trooped away, twenty OF them
with "good night" and birthday
wishes for coming years, there
was the joy in the eyes and the face
that comes from real participa-
ton in Christmas tree fete, back
ed by the substantial evidence of a
generous sack. of the good things
in each pair of hands.

The Furnaces

Reporter Gathers In Scoop.

The report comes to. us that a
couple of Eastern capitalists escort
ed by Charles Boardman of the
Columbus & Hooking Coal e Iron
Co. were seen vending their way
down the valley one day last week.
This of itself would not mean
much, but dame rumor tells us that
they were in the valley for the pur-
pose of inspecting the G. Ii. & l. Co.'S.
furnace plants with the intention
Of leasing them for term of years.
Let US hope that this is more than
mere rumor and that the glow Of
the furnace fires may be seen again
on the surrounding hill-tops, and
he husy hum of industry be heard
in our valley as of yore.

Domestic Joy.

The charm of domestic Joy will be
preserved, if those parents, who fear
the early death of one of their loved
ones when attacked with o serious
throat or lung trouble, resort at once
to DR.. Bulls Cough Syrup, q never-fail-
ing remedy. 81 used DIR. Bulls Cough
Syrup for my son, who was eight years
old. He has been troubled with bron-
chial cough since he was two and half
years of age, and I have tried every
thing, but found DR.. Bulls Cough
Syrup does him the most good" Mrs.
A. Geib, 317 Demott St., West Hobo
ken, NJ. DIR. Bulls Cough Syrup costs
only 25 cents, and is cheaper than the
Dealers big profit making substitute,
because DR.. Bulls Cough Syrup always
cures while the substitute does not.

SMALL TRY MEMBERS
Who Wish ECONOMY
They Are Eager to Oppose Ap-
preparations for the Dis
trict of Columbia.

A Washington special to the Baltimore
Sun of yesterday says
1t seems TO be a growing custom among
the class OF small-fry politicians who edge,
their way into Congress to oppose every
appropriation for the benefit of the Dis
trict of Columbia. In all other countries
the law-naking power cordially furthers
projects TO adorn and beautify the capital
and add 10 lis attractions as a-place of
residence and resort. But the element re-
ferred TO loses no opportunity to desCant
upon the alleged injustice of the country
at large contributing anything for public
purposes in Washington. A contention of
such character is extraordinary in. its mar
row-mIndedneSS and illiberality.
The Government the United States owns
the greater part of the entire real estate
here. 1t never paid a dollar for it, but
acquired it as a gift from the original
owners. Until within the last twenty years
the government practically imposed upon
the municipality of Washington the burden
of sustaining all municipal expenditures.
Then 1T was provided the government
should assume one-half, certainly not fair
proportion under the circumstances. But
this solemn covenant is constantly violated
through the efforts Of the demagogues whose
only object can be the hope to make some
reputation in their home districts for econ
omy.
The people of Washington are up in the
front rank of the most heavily taxed COM
munities in the United States. They have for
hundred years nearly been levied upon
right and left to make things pleasant for
members Of Congress who live here half OF
the time and many of them almost all the
time; for the high officials of all grades who
are brought here every four years from the
States and for the immense floating popula-
ton which daily pass in and out.
No public institution of any character,
no public charity but is just as aYaila BILE to
the citizen of each one of the States as the
| citizen of Washington. Members of Con
greSs send their children to the common
schools, for the support of which taxes are
laid upon the citizens OF the Capital City.
The people OF the United States enjoy the
| splendid roadways, the magnificent parks,
| the beautiful Vistas and all and there is no
evidence that the people of the country
| themselves begrudge the comparatively in
| significant and paltry sum doled annually
from the Treasury.
A few days since q Vermont member of
| the House complained that the people OF his
district had to help to keep up things in
| Washington. The boot is truly on the other
leg, Treasury statements show that the
| District of Columbia pays into the national
| Golfers on account of internal revenue alone
| twelve times as much as the State of Yer
mont and twenty-four times rs much as the
district from which this member comes
At least one-thrd of the States pay less
on account of internal revenue than the
| District. The fact is that in local and gen
eral taxes Washington, the capital of the
| country, has paid more to the government
| relatively than any other capital in the civ
