An Experience was what This
Bright Young Man Wanted,

The Beverly Dispatch of last week
contains the following account of the
escapades of very promising youth
whose father lives in Zanesyille
Saturday afternoon a young man of
rather smooth manners and pleasing
address drove into Beverly and engaged
boarding for his team at Fl. M. Vests
livery stable after which he repaired
to the Central house and made arrange
ments for weeks Accommodations. He
registered as William Castell, Cleve-
land, o., and stated that he was en-
gagged in advertising Doctor Jayne's
medicines. Monday he started out,
ostensibly to scatter advertising mat
ter. saying he would return Tuesday
evening. When the 9:33 train arrived
at Waterford Mr. Charles Porter, who
is engaged in the livery business in
McConnelsville, got off and began in
quiring concerning team belonging
to him, which he feared had been stol-
en-. The description he gave of the
team and the fellow who had hired it
exactly fitted the young fellow who
claimed to be representing Doctor
Jayne's interests. Accordingly Mr.
Porter and MIR. West began to investi-
gate the direction which the young
adventurer had taken and were soon
hot on his track, but did not overtake
him until they reached Marietta, when
they found him sitting in front of
Mugrage's livery stable. Without
much persuasion he was induced to ac-
company Messrs. Porter and West on
their return trip. His father, who is
Mr.. Frank Betz, of GAINESVILLE, settled
the bill which his reckless son had con-
tracted and the matter was dropped.
The boy, as he is only nineteen, gave
as his reason that he merely did it
for an experience"

Electric BItters.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gem
orally needed, when the languid ex-
hausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of a tonic and alternative is felt.
A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and free
ing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, Con-

Plans for tho Asylum.

Plans for the new insane asylum at
Watertown as drawn by Architect
Lewis NJ. Curry are being considered
by the trustees and the board of
charities and Gov. Altgeld. But
there is said to be a question whether
they will be used. MIR. Curry feels
positive the plans will be accepted
and he is supposed to have the iDllu-
ence of the governor and the trus-
tees. But most of the members of
the board of charities do not like the
plans. says the Chicago Tribune,
and the law requires the approval of
the board before the work can be
begun.
Commissioner Medill arrived home
from Chicago today and says Archi-
tect Curry's plans have been prac-
tically adopted, but one menb Der of

industrious farmer, gentle in dispo-

Advertising that Pays.

An exchange well says that "there are adj
vertisers and advertisers and then de-
scribes some of them. OF one class it says ::
Then there is the wide-awake, husthng
business man, who is ont after the dollars
and generally gets them. He advertises be-
cause it pays him. He makes it a part of
business. He takes a certain space in his
home paper, fills it up with something that
will catch trade. II times get dull he gives
more attention to advertising. He gets up
something new and surprising, always, how
ever combining himself strictly to the truth
and never misleading his customers, The
people read that mans advertisement as
they do the local columns of the paper. They
have confidence in what he says; they go to
his store to trade, and by fair dealing and
courteous treatment, he holds their trade.
Belfast has several of this class, and if
there were more of them it would be better
for the town. People outside form their
opinion of place from the advertising col
umns of it's newspapers; and when only a
few lines of business are represented natural
ly conclude 1t is not very enterprising
