DOG DETECTIVE,

Does What Human Sleuths Had Worked
Upon Three Months in Vain.
The Cincinnati papers contain an al
most incredible story, which, neverthe-
less, seems to be we'll authenticated.
In the early spring of 1895, business
man of Cincinnati, Charles Hermann
by name, disappeared. and no trace of
him could he found. For three months
detectives worked upon the case with
out avail.
Soon after his disappearance, Her
mann's dog was found, badly poisoned,
and near the point of death. The ami
NAL was sent to the hospital for dogs.
and remained there two months under
treatment, not being suffered to go
out. But his life was saved.
When at last the dog was liberated,
he began TO search FOR his master; and
after a good deal of running about,
commenced digging on the banks of
the Ohio river, opposits Cincinnati.
There, after time, he nuearthed the
body of Charles Hermann.
There arc indications that murder
was committed, and that poison was
administered to the dog at the same
time. Very likely it was thrown to
him by malfactors who dared not shoot
or touch him.
The body was. identified, but un-
fortunately the sagacious dog could dc
no more.

after which she was so much improved
that his services were no longer re-
Guired. The next day received his bill
for $500 francs, which is equivalent to
$500. Thinking mistake had been
made, | went to his Office, where he
smilingly assured me that the bill was
correct. To my remonstrances he re-

the commerce of the Ohio River is

BIGGER AND BETTER

Than Ever Ia the Boiler Works CONTRACT
signed Yesterday.
Since the coming to this city week
ago of Messrs. Ledecker, Hughes and
Schaffner, of Butler, Pa, we have re-
peatedly mentioned the progress being
made toward the final closing up OF
the big deal and at times have been
provoked at the carping statements of
skeptics.
The Committee of Ten have labored
faithfully toward the final adjustment
of the matter and the gentlemen pro-
noting the enterprise have met them
half way with friendly spirit at every
turn. At meeting Monday afternoon
of all parties concerned complete un-
Outstanding was arrived at, an mend
ed contract drawn up and signed with
out hesitation by Mr.. Leideclser and
four of his associates. 1t now remains
for Marietta to do her part
The new contract is in reality bet
ter one for the city than was the orig
inal. 1t involves an addition of So, 500
to the subscription list made necessary
by the enlarged requirements of the
plant, which fact is itself reason for
congratulation. The contract calls for
company capitalized at $780, 600 or
over, the employment of 100 or more
hands on payroll of 1880 weekly. and
stipulates that they must continue in
operation for at least three years. By
it's provisions the money subscribed is
to be held in trust until the plant has
been in full operation for 80 days, the
payment of the fund at the end of that
time to the company being guaranteed
by the citizens.
There is yet some money to raise on
the $500 additional required. The
Committee of Ten will go at the work
in earnest today and expect to and
should receive the heartiest co-opera-
tion on every hand 1t is necessary
that the list be completed within few
days.
Not because it is news, but for the
sole benefit of the doubters, we reiter.
ate the fact that the boiler works is
ours. Messrs. Leidecler, Hughes and
others go home to Butler this morning,
satisfied that the subscriptions will be
Forthcoming, and prepare Immediately
to let the contract for the buildings.
Get ready for the Committee, gentle.

Knights of old-crusaders who went to
conquer the world, could not hope to
succeed unless they were in virile, hearty
health. A man cannot face difficulties if
his stomach isn't in good order. Dis
ordered digestion will make sluggish
coward out of any man. 1t makes his
mind stagnant, and he cannot think
quickly enough to accomplish anything
Il makes his movements Slow, and takes
all of the snap out of him. Every man
in business in America has fight on his
hands iust as much as ever had belted
knight 1t is matter of life and death,
Just the same with him as it was with the
crusader. Indigestion and all the Ills
that go with it, mcst frequently start In
constipation. That keeps all sorts of im-
purities in the body, forces them into the
blood and so deranges the whole system
Constipation is one of the commonest
ills, and to it are traceable most of the
disorders that make people sick. Once
it gets a firm hold on a man, it is most
difficult to overcome it. Temporary re-
lief can be obtained in thousand ways.
There are medicines on the market that
