SWEET CIDER
Declared Against by the Ohio Execu-
tive Board, W. C. T. U.

LANCASTER, Ohio, April 9.-The
State Executive Board of the w. c.
T. L. is in mid-year session here, with
a full attendance of officers, including
most of the District Vice Presidents
and a number of the superintendent
of departments. Among the latter is
Mrs. Lillian Cole Bethel, whose pub
lie lectures on physical culture last
week in Cincinnati created a wide
spread interest. In executive lei
siol this afternoon an important re-
suit was the adoption of a resolution
interdicting the use of cider, either
sweet or fermented, by the white
ribbon leagures.
Discussion is being had looking to
the memorializing of the Legislature
upon the question of the age of con-
sent, the prohibition of the sale of
cider in country and village stores,
the adoption of a manual of physical
culture for boys instead of the military
drill which was recently introduced
at the Boys Industrial School with a
show of great favor, the right of
suffrage and other matters of i'm
p%ortance in temperance union work.

A Small
Spot May
Be Cancer!

1t is very often that the most insig-
n%ificart symptoms are forerunners of
the most violent disease. There is
not a more destructive disease than
Cancer, and in a majority of cases it
is first indicated by a very small scab
or sore, to which no attention is at
tracted, until it before long develops
into most alarming conditions.
Here is such i case, where the first
symptoms were too ma to be noticed
for quite a time. Mr.. J. B. Arnold be-
longs to of the oldest and best
families of Carolina; he is we'll and
favorably known throughout South
Carolina, and has resided at Green
wood for years. Cancer is hereditary
in the family, an aunt on each side
having died from it. Several years
ago a small spot, like a tiny ulcer.
about the size of a bird-shot, appeared
just under his left eye, above the cheek
bone. He thought nothing of it for
some time, until it began to grow rap
idly, spreading all the time, and de-
stroying the flesh as it went.

vital organ, together with the nerves.
During the waking hours the nervous
system works necessarily. Poor sleep
means a poor nervous condition, and
prolonged insomnia leads in every
case to prostration, and too often to
dread insanity. The mischief that re-
suits from weakened erves is much
greater and more destructive than
most folks even dream of.
The all-important thing for ner-
vous, rundown persons, and for
those who are losing sleep is that

the whole physical system, and by

ing the nerves it insures sound, re-

In winter most women and many
men lead dollhouse lives. A tagged
appetite, a disposition to pick at this
dish and that, rather than to eat a
square meal, is among the early midi
cations of falling health. Then comes
delay in falling asleep and the f~retful,
uneasy feeling the next day.

Big Failure at Vandalia.

The dry goods firm of Medley &

in Vandalia, failed last week. Alarge
number OF attachments rel entered
against the firm, whose interests are
being looked after by L. P. Crigler, of
this city, and Judge Stockwell, of
Salisbury, while the creditors are rep
resented by Geo. Robertson and F. r.

The stock is valued at about $4,000

$4,000 was given on it. Sheriff Ste
phens has the goods under his care

A NOTORIOUS CRIMINAL.
Abe Rothschild, alias "Smythe." ETC.,
Passed Through Mexico to-day
En- Route to Jefferson City.
Where He Will Spend
Four Years.

Abe Rothschild, alias "Smythe,"
etc, was in Mexico for a few minutes
Saturday on his way from Moberly,
where he was lately tried, to spend a
four years vacation i'll jefferson City.
Abe is IL of the most sought after
and notorious criminals in the United
States and as oon as he finishes his
term at Jefferson City he will be
taken to Georgia, where he will be
tried for obtaining an entire jewelry
store under false ~pretenses.
The crime for which he will now
spend four years at hard labor was
committed in Moberly about Il year
ago. lie went to Chicago and bought
a lot of goods, claiming to be the
proprietor of a "Racket" store, and
then returned to Moberly and, under
the same colors, forged al express
order for the amount due on them.
When found out he escaped to Canada,
buCNwas traced and ~extradition papers
obtained. He was brought back to
Moberly about three months ago,
II confined i'll Jail until his trial,
three weeks ago., at which he pleaded
guilty and was sentenced by Judge
Hockaday to the above mentioned
term of years.
Rothschild il a Jew and has but
M eye, the other being put out, q
small dark mustache and black, curly
hair. lie is heavy set and of medium
height.
When questioned by a reporter for
the LEDGER he said he would not
give an interview unless there was
cash or a certified check in sight.
GLOW much do you charger" said
the reporter.
"Well, you are nice looking young
fellow and I'll give you one cheap;
about 500 for five minutes"
"Can't you make any reduction"
said the newspaper man, not
thinking such an interview of quite
such value.
"No, | cannot; my interviews are
greatly in demand. l even receive
kilograms asking for them II am
not at all anxious to give them for
nothing"
But he forgot himself for a few sec
onds and talked rather freely, saying
that he expected to spend some time
in Georgia after his visit in Jefferson
City, and ended up by saying that he
would have n warm time down there
(supposably on account of the CHM
ate.)
He and six other prisoners from
Randolph County, in charge of Sheriff
J. l.. Hoague and deputiesHolman and
Nichols, sat in the gentlemen's wait
ing room at the depot linked together
with handouts talking and chatting
as if they were going on a pleasure
trip.
Rothschild's M eye was continu-
ally looking around to see the mass of
spectators who gazed at him. He is
wanted on at least twenty-five charges
in various parts of the Union and has
a fair prospect of spending tho rest
of his life in State prisons.
The other prisoners we're Chas.
Burns, three years for burglary, Geo.
Williams, 2 years for the same, Ollie
Higher, 2 years for same, Elmer HUFF
and Dennis Given, two years apiece
for burglary. They were n tough

a special dispatch from Jerseyville,

"Democracy triumphed as of old at

A very large vote was polled and the
entire Democratic ticket elected by
majorities ranging from 200 to 1886
Democrats majority in 1894 was 49,
and in 1895 the Democratic Supervisor
was defeated. Democrats are now
for the party ticket regardless of gold

There is a whole sermon,s 80 to speak
