Steward +, G.. Rochester,

In opening our valuable ex-
change, the Athens Gazette, on
last evening we came face to face
with the very handsome counte-
nence of our genial townsman,
Frank G. Rochester, portrayed
therein. Accompanying the picture
was the following complimentary
notice and UiUum d6 inclG1d bills:
"June IS 1896, the board of Trus-
tees appointed Mr.. Frank G. Roch-
ester, q young energetic and sue
cessful business man of Logan, o.,
to succeed Marion Cline as Stew
ard Of the Athens Insane Asylum.
Governor Bushnell is to be con-
graduated upon his wise selection
as no better could have been made.
Frank G. Rochester was born Sept,
2l, 1859, at Logan, Ohio, and grad
uated in 1871, at the age of II, from
thO t1OE an iIHh oCuOOl' m = llpCH-
ester entered Wooster university
in 1876 and remained until 1881,
going as far in the course as the
senior year. lie then took busi-
ness course in the Eastman's Bust
ness college at PoughkeepSie, NY.
and upon graduating from this in
stitution, he assumed the duties of
book keeper in the firm of j. Roch-
ester & Sons, Logan, Ohio. In July
1892, Mr.. Rochester was appointed
receiver of the MotherWell Iron
and Steel Co., and served in that
capacity until the same was sold
and affairs settled. In the year

A Candidate From Fairfield.

Prosecuting Attorney John NJ.
Wright has announced himself as
a Democratic candidate for Con-
gress in this district, and is pre-.
fecting plans to secure for Fairfield
county the nomination at the con-
vention to be held in this city next
Tuesday.
The Overwhelming majority of
Franklin county in the number of
delegates over Fairfield offers little
encouragement to an aspirant from
this county, yet there is likeli-
hood Of the former county coming
tUithe convention with a divided
delegation.
Mr., Wright is emincntly quail
fed 70? the high aud honorable
position and on the question which
is just now agitating the American
people lie is irrevocatbly and un-
compromisingly for the free and
unlimited coming Of silver.
Mr.. Wright has been making
quiet canvas among the Fairfield
county delegation and has met
with considerable encouragement.
Lancaster Eagle.
Every one in Hooking knows.
Jack Wright,and the memory of
his father Judge Silas II. Wright
as an uncompromising Democrat
is still green in our memory and
while we are not in your district
we say. Go in and win this is a
Democratic year and the nominee
will be eleetedq phete sis no one
whom Hooking ;wonfa RATHER see,
elected than John M. Wright.

Room Enlarged.

The west store room of Hauk
Thurncss and Vert, has been en-
larged by 40 feet being added to
the rear making the room l20 feet
long. Mr.. Thurness informs us
that his business has demanded a
largo increased in the stock of dry
goods and ladies apparel, and he
is compelled to enlarge the room
to make shelf space for the goods
that are coming. Mr.. Thurness
and his associates are pushers in
business; are men that are not a.
fraid to advertise. They know
that the only possible way to sue
cess in the unloading Of their
shelves is to wade good and deep
through printers ink. The printer
tells in one voice thousands Of
people what you have and how
you sell, where an individual
could never advertise his own
goods in the world. Mr.. Thurness
recognizes the newspaper to be the
only mechine to merchantie sue
cess He makes a clearance sale,
tells the thousands of people in
this valley through their family
paper about the bargains at this
sale. He waits, they come; and as
a consequence he is the man that
is doing the business in Logan.
We have not in our eXperiance had
as our customer a more liberal adj
vertiser in his line than Mr..
AS chef of this depart
ment for his firm, and the results
of our medium for him, in q great
measure, have been to cause an
of his place of business
doing business on larger scale,
securing more clerks to wait on
his increasing flow of custom, and
A general rush and push, the pride
and success of a mer hant.

ing Hills.
The rivelets Of Hooking county
and the Hooking Valley have Ger.
tainly in the month of July and
especially in the past week been
blessed with plenty of natures
tears and natures torrents. The
river has been constantly on the
rise until at Millville and many
other lower points people have
been removed from their houses in
boats, AT Logan many fears were
entertained as to the probable re-
suit until the glad relief of u fall
ing river came on Thursday morn
ing. The water was very near
breaking over the road above
town which would have resulted
in the flooding Of the west end Of
town. AS it was many gardens
were destroyed. The flood has
caused awful obstruction in the
valley and along the route of the
smaller streams throughout the
country. Corn field burdened with
beautiful and hopeful crops have
been swept away and much hay
that is down is entirely ruined.
Acres of potatoes have been water
soaked and will rot rapidly as soon
as dug. Every day seemed the
hotter and then in the evening the
awful storms would gather and
pour the rain and flash electrical
displays the harder. Wednesday
eVeng Logan was visited by roar
in hurricane which uprootcd shade
trees and swept almost every
loose thing in its wake, and was
followed by torrents of rain that
swept in sheets turning the streets
to flowing rivers. Many hopes are
entertained that the worst has
been reached but none can tell
what might yet be added to the al
ready dire misfortunes. Heavy |
storms have been daily going to
the north and south of Logan and |
news of bad washOuts and de-
suction of crops come in every day.
On Tuesday evening as is mention
ed else where our friend Sam'l |
Hodyshell north Of Logan had the
of his barn being struck
by Ii tightening and burned. Com
rade Lon Naile went out for Il
pleasant buggie ride on the same
evening, south of Logan. On re-
turning he faced n thrilling storm,
turned back in round about ways
by washed away bridges, got
swamped in rushing creek, water
up to the buggie bed, and torrents
pouring from above interspersed
by tightening sizzling and Kissing

roaring one awful peal after anoth-
er like the battle of Chickamauga
with which our soldier friend was
happily familiar. After many
times lodging the closest bolts of
artillery and wading through two
Or three feet of muddy water for a
few miles, the pleasure seeker re-
turned home in safety from his
pleasure ride. AS has been the
custom, on last evening we were
the recipient Of another heavy
storm and strong wind gale; much
water fell which will again swell
our already inflated stream. In
the past several days the average
rain fall has been one half inch
each day so that in the past week
1--WE or six inches have fallen,
which is a record that has not been
)ut classed for several years.

A stomachful Of undigested
food is about as unhealthy mass
as one can well imagine.
What can be done with IL?
There it stays. 1t won't digest.
II churns up, ferments and decays;
becomes poisonous (as all putrid
matter does) and causes great pain
and deep-seated disorders.
In order to change all this, take
Shaker Digestive Cordial.
IT stops fermentation and decay
at once, so that no more poisons
are created.
il clears the stomach of poisons
already there. 1t helps it to turn
the food that remains, into health
full nonrishment. 1t strengthens
tho stomach for the next meal.

They Talk silver.

w WASHlNtTONy ~. W, July ZJ.-
Judge II. M. Ditty, of IIillsboro
Ohio, who is gold Democrat and
quite active in politics, talked to
day with Star reporter on the
situation in Ohio.
81 never saw such a situation in
politics BEFORE" he said. "Many
waves of sentiment have swept
over Ohio, but have never seen
anything like the present. In the
country districts the silver senti-
ment is intense. Every man you
see is loaded with arguments, and
there is no use trying to talk with
him.
"The silver men have been read
ing everything they could get hold
of on their side Of the question,
until they can out.talk Harvey.
They are as glib as possible with
arguments which l regard as false,
but which they are satisfied with,
and they will dance all over any
one who says gold. 1t has become
sort of religion with them, and
they will not listen or tolerate OPP
position. You can't make any
impression on them any more than
you can argue Il man out of his
religious faith. The thing has
spread so that l regard the result
in the state as doubtful, and per-
haps with the probability favorable
to Bryan.
cat all events, it is by no means
certain that McKinl y can carry
the state. The normal majority is
about $4,000. That is the safe,
natural Republican majority.
There are about $4,000 Populist
votes and 10000 Prohibition votes.
Bryan will probably get $4,000
Populist votes and $4,000 Pro-
hibition. That is he will get the
silver vote of these two parties.
ain the cities there will be con-
siderable gold Democratic vote for
Mckinley; in the country districts
there will be Il larger silver Re-
publican vote for Bryan. These
may pretty nearly offset each
other, though it looks as if Bryan
would get more Republican votes
in the country than he will lose
Democrats in the cities.
"There is hardly anything but
silver talked throughout the state.
The men around the thrashing
machines at lunch time, the groups
around country stores and about |
the village hotels, Republicans and
Democrats head to head, are talk
ing about the money question.
Men who never before could talk
together on politics without punch
ing each Others heads are hand in
hand or are talking the matter
over from different standpoints in
a sympathetic spirit. If any one
says gold there will at once be
half dozen men to jump on him.
1t makes little difference how much
fallacy there is in their arguments;
these country folks think they
have mastered the question, and
they can put in ten words TO one
Of the man who tries to show them
that they are wrong.
al had gold bug ON my coat.
A farmer came up to me and took
hold of my coat collar and held
the gold button up to view.
"Thats the bug that got into our
wheat he sad, and reduced ii 80
per cent?
"The rest all took it up, and
thought it, a good thing. There
was no sort of argument l could
put up to outweigh this rustic wit.
That sort of thing goes for arg,l-
ment. 1t is silver, silver, silver,
all through the country Districts"
