the success of the medicine in giving
them relief from that tired feeling,
waning appetite and state of extreme
exhaustion after the close confinement
of long winter season, the busy time
attendant upon Il large and pressing
business during the spring months and
with vacation time yet some weeks
distant tits then that the building
up powers of Hoods Sarsaparilla are
fully appreciated. 1t seems perfectly
adapted to overcome that prostration
caused by change of season, climate or
life, and while it tones and sustains
the system, il purifies and vitalizes the

Littls Nelson Gray Killed by Failing
From Tree.
A sad accident occurred Saturday
afternoon on upper Front street, Just
below Washington, in which Nelson,
the nine-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Gray lost his life. While the
performance of Pawnee Bills Wild
West show was in progress he and a
number of other boys climbed the trees
in the neighborhood, boy-like seeking
to steal look at the exhibition In
some manner the little fellow lost his
hold and fell from height variously
estimated from 10 10 IL feet. He struck
the brick sidewalk squarely on the top
of his head and was carried into u
house near by in an unconscious con-
dition.
Drs. Mcclure and McKim were called
but could render little assistance, a
the lads skull was fractured and he
had received severe concussion of the
brain.
Opiates were administered to stop the
convulsions with which he was seized
and he was taken to his home on Fifth
street, where he expired about $50
O. clock the same afternoon.
His sudden and shocking death was
a great blow to his mother. His faith
er, who was formerly with the Law
renee & Son Piono Company, has been
in Boston for several months. He was
telegraphed for Immediately and will
probably arrive in time to attend the
funeral, the date of which has not
been set.

SINCE there can no longer be any
by the Populist party, and the calling
of Sound Money Democratic Conven-
tion, it is useless for the Repu blican
party to sit by and talk of walk over
The money question is paramount,
and in the coming campaign will dwarf
all others.
The tariff issue that held the front
during the past three years seems to
have been lost sight of, and instead of
the people going into campaign
thoroughly informed on all questions,
more uncertainty seems to exist than
at any time during the past decade.
The fact that the silver vote all over
the Country will be united and the
sound money vote divided calls for de-
cided action on the part of Republi-
cans everywhere, This campaign must
be one of education!
1t must be one in which the voters
meet and freely exchange their views.
The campaign orator must do his
work and do it we'll
Each township in the County should
have live active Republican club
This is the only way to thoroughly
arouse the voters, and this course has
never failed of magnificent results.
We do not hope to carry the strong
holds of Democracy, but the fact that
States strongly Republican for the past
thirty years are now considered dou bt-
full is good reason why we should look
after our immediate voters.
The State of Ohio has always stood
for honest money, but we are compelled
to admit that the margin at times has
been exceedingly small.
With thorough work we haye nc
doubt of the result in this County OIL
State, but now while the silver spirit
is growing we urge the Republicans o.
Washington County to organize, and
suggest that Marietta take the lead
and form strong Republican Club i'm
