a Good Wind Mill-Make il Your
sell.

l made ono OF the peoples wind
mills which I saw recommended in
your paper recently, it only cost me
SO. 40 and is a splendid mill; my we'll
is deep, but it pumps it all right and
with very little wind; the neighbors
all like II, and as am kind of car
penter, | have agreed to put up nine
mills already, on which l can make
nice profit, and there are many others
for whom | can put up mills this. fall.
don't see why every farmer should
not nave wind mill, when they can
make it themselves for less than $40,
any one can get diagrams and COM
plete directions for making the wind
mill by sending Is two-cent stamps to
pay post age, etc, to e. d. Wilson e
Co, Allegheny, Pa. and there can be
dozens of them put up in any locality
any one who has the energy to do it.

FOUND DEAD.
One of MT. Stcrltng's Good Women
Tired of Troubles.

On last Tuesday morning about 7
O'Clock, the body of Mrs. Mary Lou,
widow of George Gibson, was found,
a CHASTITY sight, on the floor of room
over her sleeping apartment cold in
death, with a bullet hole in her right
temple. A thirty-two calibcr pistol. c"c
chamber of which was empty an open
razor, pen knife and a bottle of car
bolic acid by her side could have told
the sad story had not word been left.
To Mrs. B F.. Dorsey, an intimate
friend, she had said that she had many
troubles they were unbeara BILE and
that she was tired of living. She left
note for her which told the same
story. Another note was found ask
ing the Equitable Life Insurance COM
pany to transfer her life policy. So, 900,
to her mother; and still another note
was left to her father. Mrs. Gibson
was an estimable woman with a big
heart and willing hands in time of
need and trouble. For some time
she had been in poor state of health.
After suffering intensely with her
head, and this together with troubles
which only she and those nearest to
her knew, drove her to the fatal act.
The world is full of troubles and we
know not who are bearing the heavy
est. The scriptural injunction, "bearYe
one another's burdens" is not observ-
ed as it should be. She leaves one
child, Owen, little son eight years
old, who does not know his loss. God
care for the orphan boy is the prayer
of all christians.

GRAY Hair Made Dark,

l saw in your paper a statement
that Zulu Vulier would restore any
head of hair to natural color in three
weeks. AS | was very gray I sent
for sample package, and in less than
three weeks my hair was perfectly re.
stored to natural color. My wife's
hair was light red, and by using
Zulu Vulier, her hair is now beauti-
full auburn. Any one can get sam
pie package of Zulu Vulier by sending
81 two-cent stamps to Wilson & Co.,
New Concord, Ohio, and if it does not
satisfy you perfectly they will return
your stamps.

ABOUT THE CORRUPTION
OF the American Congress is true.' /
gave him my promise, and he then
continued: Il went to America in

whom 1 representative Governors of

tons il that was not sufficient to ac-
complish the object to draw for an

necessary. saw the committees of
the House and Senate and paid the
money, and staid in America until l
knew the measure was safe. Your
people will not now comprehend the
far reaching extent of that measure,
but they will in after years. What
ever you may think of corruption in
the English Parliament, 1 assure you
/ would not have dared to make such
an attempt here as 1 did in your coun-
try"
Such is Ernest Seyd's confession !;
such the history of the "Crime of
1875" such the way in which the
standard dollar was dropped from our
coinage.
Strange and incredible as it may
seem, the platform of the st. Louis
convention maintains as party prin-
ciple that the law thus passed by the
intrigue of English capitalists mdst
not be abolished without the consent
of those same conspirators against the
welfare of the American people! Our
national honor, we are told, requires
that we must continue indefinitely to
suffer the evil results of that criminal
conspiracy. Every effort to free our
selves from the Ubiquitous burden is
called reputation. In view of this
things, it is not difficult to understand
the intense earnestness and enthusiasm
of the common people at the Chicago
Convention and the brusque manner
in which they treated the professional
politicians, the political hacks, the pill
ant tools of the organized and conspir-
ing wealth that caused the evils of
which the laboring people are the vic
Tins"

Grand Master Meredith Visits
Watson Lodge.
A Most Enjoyable Visit From an
Able Officer.

On Saturday evening Watson
Lodge, No. 80, L. O. o. f. met in call
ed session for the purpose. of rcceiv-
ing visit from DIR. y. p. Meredith,
Grand Master of the State. When
the Grand Master reached the Lodge
room he found large attendance of
the membership to greet him. I'M
mediately after his reception the
Grand Master look the floor and de-
livered an address that no Odd-Fellow
could afford to miss. Full of encour-
agement and instruction, replete with
beautiful thoughts and adorned with
lively imagery, he left by reason of his
visit deep impression upon the men,
bership of the Lodge After the ad-
dress lodge of instruction was open
ed and the secret work thoroughly
and carefully exemplified.
DR.. Meredith is a warm advocate of
the building of a Widows and Or
phan'c Home, and after hearing his
appeal for such an asylum not an
Odd Fellow but was heartily in favor
of the proposed building.
Grand Master Meredith made many
warm friends during his visit here.
He made the acquaintance of a num-
Der OF his wiie's relatives, among them
Nh ~ u, Judy and r. NJ and d. L.
Smith. On Saturday, Past Grand
Master T. f. Rogers handsomely ell
tertained the Grand Master, and it
goes without the saying that Mrs.
Rogers and the beautiful and accom-
plished daughter, of the house, Miss
Charlotte, did all to make their guest
have pleasant remembrance of his
visit. Mr.. A. II. Judy and wife en-
tertained DIR. M. at their elegant
home on Sunday, and altogether the
Grand Masters stay in Mt. Sterling
was a most agreeable one.
Grand Master Meredith left yester-
day morning for Winchester and Par
is, where he visits the Lodges and
will return here Wednesday to be
with Grassy Lick Lodge Wednesday
evening.
DR.. Meredith, who is a practicing
physician in Louisville, some time in
April closed his office in order to give
his entire time (till the end of his
term of Office in October nex), to the
work of visiting and upbuilding the
Lodges of the order in his Jurisdiction.
He has visited to this date more than
one hundred Lodges in the State, and
has done work no Grand officer be-
fore him has been able to accomplish.
He reports the order in general in
splendid working condition in the
State, and when he closes his term of
office he will turn over the Order in
Kentucky, to his successor, in vastly
better condition than he found it.
BY the efficient service Grand Master
Meredith has given the work in this
jurisdiction. he has conclusively prov
en- the Order made no mistake in
placing him in the Grand Masters
chair.

ffel was mainly in control of the Ire
mont theater in Boston, in which the
firm was profitably interested. The
general theatrical speculations, such as
the Lillian Russell company and other
enga gements made in the firm name,
were more particularly under the hand
of Mr. Abbey Then, too, while Mr..
Grau busted himself with operate mat
tiers and Mr.. Schoeffel with Boston af
fairs, Mr.. Abbey was general financier
or financial manager of the firms in
terests. AS a result of his inability to
attend to this his partners found them
selves in a most embarrassing position.
The firms dramatic bushes was going
on from bad to worse, and Mr.. Abbey
was lying at the Gilsey house too i'll
to give his partners aid or assistance.
A consultation was held with several
gentlemen who are intimately associat-
ed with the metropolitan opera house,
and with others, business and personal
friends, of all three partners. The as
signment was decided upon and the pa
pers signed yesterday. Colonel A. a.
Rand of Boston and Mr. Louis J..
Phelps of DIN, Rive and Montgomery,
were named as assignees.
When the assignees have made their
report it will probably be found that
the sum total owed by the firm does not
exceed $500, 600, and probably it may
prove to he a somewhat lesser sum.
Against this the firm have numerous
assets, which, if carefully nursed and
not forced upon the market, may pro-
duce 5000, 900, or at least $15O,000.
LONDON, May 23.-Cecil Clay will

piled by S. P. Waddington.
"A Rescued Honor" the new three
act domestic play by Arthur Frye of

musical play. by Charles H. Brookfeld
and Henry Byatt, which will shortly
be produced in the provinces.

Carlo is attracting large audiences to
