a Lucky Venture.

BY deal made to-day Mrs. ]. b. Jen-
kins, wife of the proprietor of the Or
mond Hotel, is one of the happiest per-
sons in the city. On April 12, Mr.. and
Mrs. Jenkins with two well known oil
men bought the lease on, the West
farm adjoining the Hendershot farm
on which the Stiles e. Co. we'll is locat-
ed for 5000, each taking one-fourth
interest AS the farm only contains 40
acres this was thought to be large
price for it. To-day Mrs. Jenkins sold
her interest in the lease to Largy Bros.
for $1,000, thereby making 81, $50. Mr..
Jenkins disposed of his interest about
two weeks ago for 81, 000
At the time the lease was purchased
quite a number of oil men were solicit
ed to take an interest in it but they all
refused thinking that the Hendershot
well would be duster which would
naturally condemn their territory

P.s.a.s Recent Epirrams.

The opportunity to labor is the oppor-
tunity to live.
Man no longer shuns labor as his dead.
liest foe, but welcomes it as his dearest
friend.
Give us the opportunity to labor and
the whole world of human life will
burst into tree and flower
Neither loud Indignation or fiowery
speech, neither great promises nor wild
harangues will help any man out OF dis
aster or any nation out Of hard times.
Temper will not even unite shoe
string, and the harder you push a rope
the more it will not go any whittier.
When the people all work together,
when they all have faith in each other,
then prosperity reigns.
We shall be saved now, not by orators
or professors, but by the sound sense Of
an honest nation.
Confidence is prosperity. Distrust is
ruin.
Prosperity, speculation, hard times, it
is the same succession of events the
world over.
Money in hand is better than money
in bush. especially when you can not
tell what kind Of bush it will be-
The past is for the wise man the only
guide for the future. What man has
done man will do.
The capital of all the world is waiting
to be our servant
This is borrowing and lending
world.
Reasonable certainty makes business
uncertainty paralyzes it. 5a4 81
wish could assure you of future
prosperity that would reign unbroken
forever and ever. But history knows
human nature too well.
You have seen exhibited many times
remedies for all the ills the world is
heir to. but did you ever see perfectly
healthy wo.ld? You never will.
Everything we do not know anything
about always looks big.
Whenever we take a trip into the
realms of fancy we see good many
things that never were.
The safe footing in this world is OF
things we know.
Are we all to plunge into foolishnes:
unless some great man hits upon some
thing sure? If the world has got Il
wait for that panacea, let me tell yor
that the rest of death is as a flash O.
lightning compared to the rest we arr
going to take.
We know that we shall as surely rise
again to business and prosperity as thai
tomorrow's sun will rise.-New Yorl

counoII Proceeding

Council met in adjourned session
Wednesday evening, with all members
present except Bachman, Brenan, Wood
and Hardy, ss5
Building permits were granted to
Henry Weidner, on Maple street; Ed.
ward Jones, on Second street, ana
Henry Mahnken, Warren street. ~
The Sewer committee submitted a
resolution providing that where "a lot
owner has more than As feet frontage
he shall not be compelled to lay more
than one lateral house connection, the
same to be located where the owner
may desire. Upon motion of Mr.
Moore, the resolution was adopted
The Solicitor was instructed to in
vestigate aud report at the next meet
ing the proper charges to be included
in assessment ordinances for public i'm
provementsl 5gl d
The Engineer was authorized upon
motion of Mr. Rech to purchase twelve
siphons for the flush tanks on the sewer
work now being done.
The Clerk was instructed to adver-
tise for bids for the paving of Fourth
street between Putnam and Scanned
The disputed grade on Third street
above Wooster came up for further
action, number of interested owners
of property on both sides of the street
being present. Upon motion of Mr..
Moore all visitors were asked to retire
from the Council chamber during a ten
minutes consultation of the members
with the Engineer, but Judge Sibley,
who was present, objected to retiring
from the room and all were allowed to
remain.
The Engineer submitted profile of
the west side of Third street, showing
a grade two inches below the sidewalk,
as was ordered Tuesday evening. To
get the street curb two inches below
the sidewalk on the west side of the
street would require the grade upon
which the contractor is now proceeding
to be lowered 90 inches. Mr.. Ridge
moved that the Engineer notify Con-
tractor Berry to proceed with the work
according to specifications and the
grade now established. Mr.. Hoppman,
a resident on the west side of the street,
protested on the ground that the water
would be drained onto his property by
such action. The Engineer stated that
there is no record, whatever, of side
walkgrade ever having been esta blished
infront of Mr.. Hoppman's property. The
motion of Mr.. Ridge, being voted upon,
was carried, Mr.. Henry voting no.
Mr.. Garrison stated that property
owners on Fifth street between Greene
and Hart had not laid sidewalks as
ordered by Council and moved that the
City Commissioner proceed at once to
lay the paYements at the expense of
the property owners. The motion was
put in the form of resolution and
adopted.
The Clerk was instructed to adyer-
tise for bids for filing and paving the
sidewalk on Greene street from Fifth
to Seventh.
Bills allowed. Council adjourned.

Two Lives Saved.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction
City, ILL.,, was told by her doctors she
had Consumption and that there was
no hope for her, but two bottles of DIR.
Kings New Discovery completely cured
her and she says it saved her life. Mr..
Thos. Eggers, 1S9 Florida St., San
Francisco, suffered from a dreadful
cold, approaching Consumption, tried
without result everything else then
bought one bottle of DR.. Kings New
Discovery and in two weeks was cured.
He is naturally thankful 1t is such
results, of which these are samples,
that prove the wonderful efficacy OF
this medicine in Coughs and Colds.

THE latest free silver story emana-
ting from foolish brain comes from
the Sistersville Oil Review, which
dreamed that Dan. O'Dav, of the Stand
ard Oil Co.. had issued orders to the
Courts of West Virginia to pronounce
sentence of death against every en-
ploye of that company who votes to
cut the purchasing power of his wages
in half.

The workingman appear to be very
much awake to the fact that free sill
yer at the ratio of 16 to la cheapened
dollar, with corresponding rise in the
price of the necessaries of life-is not

rich the silver mine owners of the

STATISTICS show that the homicides
in the United States in 1895 were more
than double those of 1894. Also that if
the same ratio of killings continues
through the year that has distinguish
ed 1896 so far the number will exceed
three times that of 1894.
This is all on account of the "crime
of '7S" and shows how the increased
purchasing power of dollar causes an
increased number of killings.

THE "cross of gold" and Grown OF

The purchasing power of the labor

increased 72 per cent since the great

stole the United States from General
Warner and melted it down into dol

A Few Extracts From One of Msjor Nc,
Kinley's Recent Speeches.

A Few Extracts From One Of Mstor Nc.
Kinley's Recent Speeches.
Whatever dollars we have in thi.
country must be good dollars, as good
in the hands of the poor as the rich
equal dollars; equal in inherent merit
equal in purchasing power, whether
they be paper dollars or gold dollars OF
silver dollars or treasury notes each
convertible into the other and each ex.
changeable for the other, because each
is based upon equal valu and has be-
hind it equal security; good, not by the
fiat Of law alone, but good because the
whole commercial world recognizes
their inherent and inextinguishable
value.
businessmen, workingmen and the
people generally are coming to realize
that business and politics are closely re-
lated and that bad politics means bad
business, and that politics cannot be
neglected without endangering our occu-
pations, our earnings and our labor.
"We have had some distressing ex-
perience in this direction, which has
taught US that if we do not keep our
business our business will not keep us
[great cheeringl and that if somebody
else does our work we will have no work
to do at home. [Applausel.
I'VE are learning another thing, my
fellow. citizens; indeed, we know it al.
ready-that no matter what kind of
money we have we can not get it unless
we have work. [Cries OF You are
right, major.'] Whether it is poor
money, or whether it is good money,
whether it Is gold or whether it is silver,
we can not get one dollar Of it unless we
have employment for our hands and
heads. Enthusiastic cheering and wav.
ing of hats.
And we know another thing-that
when we have work we want honest
dollars with the most purchasing power
dollars which will not depreciate in
our hands over night, but which will be
good every day and every year and
everywhere. Renewed cheering and
cries of "Hurrah for McKinley."l
1--WE can not help labor by reducing
the value of the money in which labor
is paid. The way to help labor is to
provide it with steady work and good
wages, and then have those good wages
always paid in good money, money as
sound as the government and as unsul-
lied as this flag'' [pointing to the
American f1agl. Tremendous cheering
and applause
