Odd Things About Water.

Water is made up of two differ
ent clemonts-hydrogen and oxy-
gen. 1t has in its composition two
measures of hydrogen for every
one of Oxygen, but as the latter is so
much heavier than the former nine
pounds of water are found TO con
tain eight pounds of oxygen and
only one pound of hydrogen. The
way in which the composition of
water is proved is by means of the
voltaic electric battery, combined
with other apparatus, Designed
especially for the purpose,-St.

ago had n bet on the election, Ent

followed by something less than
500 young Americans, they re-

with cane in hand Will proceeded

he got in water up to his belly band,
then proceeded TO the bank and

foolish enough to make such a
rash bet and took him in, and with
a few French words and some hyr-

FILSoN BROS.

Day With Buyers.

Their Grand Opening Thurs
day-Thc store Crowded All
Day With Buyers.
The opening of Ellison Brothers
announced in the Daily Register
for Thursday, came off as adver-
tised.
From early in the morning until
10 p. IN. last night, their store was
crowded with anxious buyers and
people who came to take look at
their magnificent rooms and their
splendid arrangedly stock of goods.
The ladies were particularly in
terested in their fine line of china.
ware, and purchased largely from
this stock. Up to their closing
hour last night, they had sold
something over n hundred dollars
worth of china, queenswarc and
glassware. This department was
presided over and managed by
Mrs. Chas. Ellison. In their South
window they had placed several
dozen clothes wringers marked at
99c, which were gobbled up early in
the day. Every person who mott
ced the ringers knew there was a
bargain in them at 90c. and bought
and asked no questions.
In their cutlery and tool depart
ment they did exceedingly we'll, as
thay did also in hardware.
Their tinware and stove depart
ment kept up with the other de
partments, and several cook and
heating stoves, and lots of tinware,
went along in the rush to help
swell the business for the day.
In an interview with one of the
proprietors last night, as to the
amount of their days sales, they
replied that they did not like to
make public" their sales, but if
the reporter would look around, he
might, without difficulty,s find out
what their sales for the day were.
Acting upon this hint our reporter
went to "nosing" around, and
after much figuring and investiga-
ting, came to the conclusion, that
in their China department. the
sales were $98.75; in Queensware,
$3725; window sales of ringers,
$42.50; hardware, cutlery, &c;
$78.56; stoves and tinware, $73,47,
and in other articles, such as doors,
sash, &c, about 1913 in round num-
bers. The days sales amounting to
$356.53.
This was remarkable day, corr
sidering the great depression in
business, and only the splendid
stock displayed, and the popularity
of the Ellison Bros, could have
brought it about.
Point Pleasant can now boast of
the finest and most magnificent
Hardware and Queenswarc House,
in tho Ohio Valley.
Everybody will join with the
Register in wishing these enter
prising and pushing Brothers, con
tinued prosperity and success.
A weather prophet advances the
following reasons why the coming
winter is sure TO be long and cold
one. rabbits have grown thicker
fur than usual; the corn husks are
double; nuts are very plentiful; the
squirrels have laid in greater sup
ply than usual and the geese start
ed south earlier.
1t may not be generally known
that George Washington died the
last hour of the day, the last day
of the week, the last month of the
year, of the last year of the last
century.

ENERGIES From His Shell and
Talks About 1t.
Senator Hill has ut last emerged
from his she'll and sphynix-like ST.
lence. In a letter to a political &C
quaintance, dated since the election,
the New York Senator declares
that he saw the Democratic party
was foredoomed to defeat on the
Chicago platform, which he could
not bring himself to actively or
openly support. Such being the
case, nothing was left for him to
do but remain absolutely silent and
inactive.
To the suggestion made in the
letter which drew the response
from Senator Hill, that active steps
be at once taken to re-organize the
Democratic party ION historical
lines" the reply was made that
such a course would at present be
impolitic; that no immediate neces-
sity for reorganization was evident,
and that delay was advisable to give
time and opportunity to allay the
rancorous feelings, iealousies and
discords which the recent conflict
has aroused.
Senator Hill expressed the opin-
ion that by the time the Congress-
ion elections of 1898 we're OH
the Democratic party would find
enough material in the conduct of
the Republican administration and
the legislation of the Fifty-fifth
Congress to give it a common basis
for action and good chance for
success.

1t costs round sum to be elected
to Congress in some New York
districts. The sworn return of Jas.
j. Belden, reelected in the SYRIA
cuse district, states he expended
$13,1S0 in campaign expenses,
which is $3.50 more than the sal
airy of n Congressman for two years.
The Republican elected to the
court of appeals expended $3.50,
and one of the superior court
judges returns his expenditures at
$3.50. This is pretty heavy tax
on the judiciary and hardly shows
that reverence we have been lately
taught was the highest duty of the
American citizen. 1t indicates
also that the judges are slightly
human in putting money where it
will do the most good.-Pittsburg

did the fellow from Texas. "Where
