For Sherman To Answer.
POINTED QUERIES BY w. G..
MUNSON.
A Free Silver Republican Ad
dresses an Open Letter to the
s'Sage of Mansfield"

ZANRsvILLE, O., Aug. 19.--W. G.
Munson, one of the prominent free
silver Republicans of the state, a
brother of Judge Munson and q
journalist here, has addressed the
following open letter to Senator
Sherman:
"Your close political associates and
distinguished men in the Republican
party take delight in saying that the
Hon. w. J. Bryan is in the employ,
at salary of $4,000 a year, of the
silver millionaires of the west. This,
Mr.. Bryan denies, and as an honor
able man, / believe him.
"And now, Senator Sherman, a few
words to you. For a year / have
watched your career and am aware
that you only carried chain for the
surveyors on the Muskingum river
improvement, and honor you, for
that was honest toll. You have been
before the public in various capaci-
ties for three dozen years. In that
time you have held Office constantly.
1t is presumed that you had but little
if any time for anything else. We
have heard you say that accepting
office was sacrifice, for you could
not live on the salary of $4,000 year
paid members of the United States
house or senate, and yet, after three
dozen years of self-sacrifice for your
country, living a $4,000 rate on a
$4,000 salary, you are rated as q
millionaire from four.to eight times
over.
You often In your speeches chal.
lenge your political opponents to an
swer close questions. Can and will
you before retiring to private life tell
the dear people who so long have
supported you the secret of serving
your country 36 years on a $4,000 sal
ary, at the same time living at $10,-
900 a year rate, and retiring multi
millionaire? 1t would be interesting
information for the rising generation.
Even your young friend, w. j.
Bryan, might profit by it and be an
incentive for others to emulate your
career. The plain people have for
years been wondering how their self
sacrificing public servant, John
Sherman, could accumulate wealth
so rapidly, while they, his consti-
tuents, grow poorer each year.
(Signed.) "W. G. MUNsoN."

The accounts of 1.-THE New Olym-
plan Games at Athens came to this
country in brief cable dispatches or
scrappy letters. ,Scr5bner's publishes
the first adequate account of the
whole spectacular event which is of
the greatest interest to Americans by
reason of their conspicuous success.
Prof. Rufus B. Richardson, director
of the American School at Athens,
(who had every advantage of seeing
the games under favorable auspices }
has written this account with enthu-
siasm and fervor aroused by the fine
impression made at the games by
American representatives. Corwin
Knapp Linson was sent to Athens
by the Magazine, and the abundant
Illustrations for the article were
made from life. They are not only
admirable as drawings, but give the
first satisfactory representation of
the picturesque and dramatic epi-
sodes of the games.

Thief Captured.

Last fall Chas. Blanchard of Lib
erty Center gave Logan Bowker, son
of Capt. Bowker of that place. a
horse and buggy and number of
clothes racks in order that Bowker
might act as his (Blanchard's) agent,
driving around through the county
selling these racks. Instead of fol-
lowing Blanchard s instructions Bow
ker started south selling the horse
and buggy and all the clothes racks
and appropriating the proceeds. He
was heard from in Texas several
times, until last week Mr.. Blanchard
obtai ell information that his man
was seen hanging around Carey.
Tuesday in company with Sheriff
Pender he went to Carey and Bow
ker was placed under arrest and
brought TO Napoleon and lodged in
Jail. The case will no doubt be set
tied before it is brought to trial.

BAKERS ICE WATER,
Cereals Mixed Therein.

Not all the harm said to come from
iced tea is caused by the cold. Many
persons who suffer from stomach and
nervous disorders, find great relief
by abandoning tea and coffee en-
tirely. 1t is common practice of
the bakers who work all day over
hot stoves at the Postum Cereal
factory at Battle Creek, Mich, to
stir cereals into the jars of ice water.
Experience proves that very cold
water can be used quite freely this
way without the ill effects likely to
follow the free use of plain ice water.
This should teach a lesson. If one
must have iced drinks at meals du-
ring the hot weather, take all the
advantages possible and use Postum
Cereal, the grain coffee, iced with
sugar and few drops of lemon juice.
This gives a delicious cooling drink
which is food in liquid state and
very nourishing and strengthening.
Postum will agree with weak stom-
achs that suffer from tea or coffee,
and is a great nerve builder, taken
either hot or iced; try it.
There is but one genuine origina

Particular People.

Our customers are partlcu-
lar people, and we are glad of
it, for we are a little particu-
lar ourselves. People who
are particular about the goods
they buy, who insist uponper-
lection as to durability, goods
to be as represented, best'ma-
terials and quality, are people
who know what they ought to
pay for goods and who refuse
to pay exhorbitant prices.
AS we have said we are par
ticular ourselves. Particular
in selecting our goods, and we
do our own selecting, from the
best concerns in the country;
insist upon the very highest
grade Of goods, and as we pay
the plank down cash for every
dollars worth Of goods pur-
chased we get them at the
lowest notch, and that is the
secret of how we can sell first
class stock at q price which
most dealers ask for second
class and inferior goods.
We are especially particu-
lar in the selection of our
stock of drugs and medicines,
They must always be up to
the standard, pure and fresh.
We pride ourselves in this de.
partment, and truthfully be-
lieve that we have drugs and
medicines for all the aches and
pains known to the human
race, and to the animal king
dom as well. We keep none
but what we can recommend,
and it is always wise to keep
an assortment Of goods, true
and tried remedies on hand,-so
that they may be near when
wanted, for it is a faetthat
many lives are sacred, and
diseases prevented, by having
the right medicine at the right
time, and in time.
And while we are especially
particular with our stock Of
drugs and medicines, we are
equally particular in the Sc
lection Of our paints, oils and
brushes. We are the oldest
house in the county dealing
in these goods, and we have
this class Of goods down pat.
We keep no inferior paints or
oils, and it is for that reason
wherever you see paint spread
that comes from our store it is
always found to wear well and
is first class in all particulars.
Our wall paper and window
shade dept has a well estab.
lished reputation, and we are
as particular Of this depart
ment as we are Of any other in
our mammoth store Styles
and patterns have never been
more pretty than they are
now, and as to prices you can
paper your entire home for
little or no money. The
cheapness Of our paper will
surprise you, as well as our
designs will delight. Come in
and look over the stock wheth-
er you wish to purchase or
not.
We still handle anything
and everything in the book
and stationery line, and keep
this department. up as well as
can be found in any first class

loss will be keenly felt by his parents
TO THE MOTHER:
She sits in the lonesome twilight
With empty arms on her breast,
And her heart is stony with sorrow
Yet sick with a wild unrest.
She knelt by the empty cradle
And thought of her baby's grave,
And cried Oh God how cruel
To call back the one that You gave
She thought of him out in the darkness
With the rain on his little bed.
With no arms to fold about him
Or pillow his sunny head.
She fancied he woke from slumber
Frightened and calling her.
And the grief of the stricken mother
The hardest heart would stir.
Avoice that was sweet with pity,
Said tenderly, Peace poor heart"
And she saw in swift sweet vision
Heavens gates swung wide apart.
And for all her bitter sorrow
That one swift glimpse sufficed,
For she saw her precious darling
Asleep in the arms of Christ. y
