Jollification at Macksburg,

On Saturday night the Republicans
of Macksburg and vicinity turned out
en- masse, to celebrate over the great
National victory. A big "a pound can.
non punctuated the cheers and applause
of the multitude assembled and march
ing with brass band through all the
streets. A torch light procession was
formed at the Hall, and singing and
cheering, proceeded in good order to
take in the town. A beautiful feature
of this was the presence of young ladies,
and, indeed, many of the married
women, wearing yellow sashes, car
rying torches, and singing "Bye,
Bryan Bye" This was as much a cam.
paIgn of women as it was of men, and
they had the same right to celebrate il
and its magnificent victory.

How Manufacturers Test Bicycles.

Unless one has visited great bicycle
factory it is not easy to appreciate the
many delicate operations that the parts
of bicycle are subjected to, the many
tests that must be passed, and the hun
dreds of careful inspections that the
many parts must pass before they are
considered worthy or good enough to
be assembled into bicycle of standard
worth. Visitors to big manufactory
are surprised at the extent of the plant,
the perfect appointments, and air of
discipline that prevails throughout.
1t does not take the mostinexperienced
long to see why it costs SO much to build
good bicycle. The most exacting care
is required; the very best materials are
necessary in every part; skilled labor OF
the highest order is essential to obtain
the desired results, and If any part gets
through the inspection-room and is
afterwards found imperfect. it is moth
ing short of marvellous.

ANOTHER SURVEY
Being Made for Bridge Across the
Ohio at This Point.

Being Made for Bridge Across the
ohio at This Point.
On Tuesday a surveying corps under
the direction of Engineer Feikel. Of
Pittsburg, began the work of locating
bridge to run from the union depot
this city, on west curve through the
alley to Front street and thence on a
south curve down Post street and
across the Ohio river to Williamstown,
1t is understood that Capitalist Jutte,
OF Pittsburg, is the chief promoter be-
hind the survey and that he will en-
deavor to interest the railroads now
entering Marietta in the scheme.
For many years one of the upper
most hopes in the hearts of the Mari.
eta public has been for bridge
across the Ohio. 1t was the plan OF
Boone when he was promoting the u.
& o. r. to cross the river at this point
and build railroad into the heart of
the mineral wealth of West Virginia,
but his castles were demolished before
completed. What there may be behind
the frequent surveys made for the To-
cation of bridge here is unknown.
1t may mean business or it may mean
speculation. Time alone will tell that
story. but one thing is certain and that
is that the day will arrive when Mari.
etta's growth and the development of
West Virginia will require a line of
railroad straight into the heart of the
little Mountain State and a bridge
across the Ohio will then be necessity,
To Marietta the building of such a
bridge would mean the expenditure
here of a magnificent sum of money
and the benefits that would naturally
follow.
At any rate railroad bridge across
the Ohio is possibility for Marietta in
the future, but while every loyal citi-
zen will take off his coat and go to
work for it when the time comes, there
is still, as yet, no reason for putting up
the price of real estate.

Two Chicago Business Men Who Wondered
Who George Il. Davis Is.
Three men were chatting together in
Madison street cigar store. 1t was
raining outside and neither was in a
hurry to leave. One of them was we'll
known politician and the other two
were apparently successful business
men. A military-looking gentleman
with snowwhite hair, mustache and
chin whiskers entered, says the Chica
go Chronicle.
Good evening"" said the politician
"A nasty night" he added.
"Who is that?" queried one of thr
other two men of the politician after
the man he had addressed as colonel
had gone out.
"Why, don't you know him-Royal
George Davis?"
swell, who is Royal George Davis
anyway?"
George r. Davis-don't know George

,"What did he do?'
"Why, man, he was director general
of the worlds fair!"
"Never heard of him."
The politician looked at the man in
undisguised amazement. "Come, buy
the cigars" was all he said.
And such is fame.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS AND EYESlGHT
Unprotected Lamps Found to Be Jnju-
rious to the Eyesight.

Unprotected Lamps Found to Be Jnju-
rious to the Eyesight.
The question of injury to the eyes
from electric light is being prominent
ly discussed by scientists, oculists and
laymen throughout the country. While
opinions widely differ as to the ulti-
mate injury likely to result from the
rapidly increasing use of electricity,
the consensus of opinion is that light
from uncovered or uncolored globes is
working damage to the eyesight of hu-
manity. In a discussion of the subject
a London electric light journal, in de-
Tending its trade, feels called upon to
make some important admissions. 1t
says: "It is not customary to look at
the sun, and not even the most enthusi-
astic electrician would suggest that
naked arcs and incandescent filaments
were objects to be gazed at without
limit. But naked arc lights are not
usually placed SO as to come within the
line OF sight, and when they do acci-
dentally, whatever may result, the in.
jury to the eye is quite perceptible. The
tllament of glow lamp, ON the other
hand, is most likely to meet the eye, but
frosted bulb is an extremely simple
and common way of getting over that
difficulty. The whole trouble can be
easily remedied by the use of properly
frosted or colored glass globes. In any
case, however, the actual permanent
injury to the eye by the glowing fila
ment is no greater than that due to an
ordinary gas fame

INCIDENT ON THE ALLEY -"


u tno COnuuCtOEs .I
On the alley "L'' road one evening n
trio of negroes boarded southbound
train and proceeded in way to cap
ture the car they were in. They stood
in the aisle and obstructed the prog
ress Of people coming and going out
at the different stations and were in
clined to be disputatious and quarrel
some with anybody who ventured to
criticise their conduct. One OF them in
particular, the largest of the three,
was especially pugnncious, and finally,
when the conductor ordered them to
take their seats the big fellow threat
ened all sorts of destruction to the
official, and defied him openly to lay
hands on him, says the Chicago Chron-
icle. " 3Al 24a ~
The conductor passed to the next car
and enlisted the services of an acquaint-
ance of his, a "bouncer" at one of the
smaller theaters. This worthy weighed
about 240 pounds and was giant in
strength and size. He walked into the
car where the darkies stood, grabbed
the big one, who was at least half a foot
shorter than the bouncer, and dragged
him to the door.
AS the car was just then Stacking up
at station the bouncer threw the col
ored man clear over the gate and on to
the platform without waiting for the
guard to open the gate. The darby
sprawled all over the platform and his
two companions SUNK to seats as the
bouncer looked back into the car. The
train went on, the two remaining "ter-
rors" keeping very still.
Afterseveral stations had been passed
one of them spoke in subdued tones to
the other. All he said was: "Dat sholy
was strong man."

A Remedy for Thinness.

A French paper tells the story of a
dramatic instructor who had as a pu-
Pill a girl who was very pretty; but
woefully thin. Thinness is so fatal on
the stage-except where there is the
highest genius, as in the case of that
great actress of whose admirers it is
said that they prefer grace before
meat--that he consulted physician
about it, The physician recommended
belladonna. "Why?" asked the dramatic
instructor. Because" was the reply
"belladonna has the propertyof dilating
the pupil"

tables and Salads.


tables and Salads.
Authorities on diet believe that II
would be well for most of us who are
in health to eat more green vegetables
with our meat and starchy foods thar
we do ct present, says the New York
Post. Indeed, some go so far as to be.
lieve that the absence from our menus
of plenty of green vegetables and salads
accounts for the biliousness of the
American people. The best known Of
such plants are lettuce, beet-tops, dan.
delion, kale and spinach, but Mr.. Col.
vile, botanist of the United States de-
partment of agriculture, finds that
there are many other palatable and
healthful plants that, though rarely
used, might add pleasant variety to
our list of available vegetables. One vi
these, ."winter cress," or Barbarea proc
cox. which is cultivated from this city
southwark and is sold in large quanti-
ties in the Washington markets, is
planted in late summer or early fall
and needs very little cultivation. An
other plant that belongs to the spinach
and beet family, though it is a COM
mon weed in fields and gardens in near
ly every part of the United States, Is
lambs quarters" or Chenopodium al.
bum. 1t is in many places commonly
known either as pigweed or goosefoot,
but it is not the true pigweed. The
plant has pale-bluish green color, and
is used when six or eight inches high
is tender, juicy and pleasant to the
taste. The teasing weed, the common
garden "pusley," or "purslane," when
boiled is also recommended as q most
palatable green vegetable and can easily
be had. In India, where it originated,
the plant has been used for hundreds of
years. In Europe it lis used both as a pot
herb and for salads.
