the principal witness against a
young negro, testified In Judge
Martins court to-day. The woman
had positively identified the pris.
oner and was then turned over to
the negro lawyer for crosse xamin-

the eyes and keeping his right
hand extended toward he, he fore.
ed her TO say that she had made a
mistake. Then she collapsed and
the Judge continued the case, de.
claring that the spell the attorney
had cast over her had rendered
her unfit to testify. She was led
from the courtroom, muttering:

Whnt Of She ToHrths
Is Logan Going to Lay Around and Let
Some Neighbor Town Have the Big
Daya

We have been waiting patiently
for some Of the pushers In our
midst to raise up and make ten
strike toward having a big day
here on the Fourth Of July, but IL
seems that the pushers are all
waiting for some one else to make
the dash, and thus, Logan like, we
will hold the bag, and Lancaster or
Jacksonville will catch the game.
We are for big day here, and we
are going TO have It IL we are COM
pelled to give 1t ourselves. All 1t
takes Is nerve, and we have nerve
to burn. We want to see q grand
fantastic parade on bicycles, at 0
o'clock a. m, past a reviewing
stand, from which three judges will
determine who has the most uni
que make up, awarding first, second,
and third prises according. After
the parade crack game of base
ball will be played at the ball park.
After noon will be taken up in a
series Of the grandest cycle races
ever Witnessed in Logan at the
race track. We will award val
liable and useful prizes, and the
proceeds of the day after expenses
are paid will be turned over to
board ofladies' to be applied in
charity throughout the county.
We have 700 cyclists in Hooking
county and q good ball team, and
energetic cltisens who will take
hold and make 1t 60. 1t will be a
county day, and each township
will come In In delegations, the
largest delegation being awarded
a handsome flag for their election
house. Let us spend a glorious
holiday at home. The business
men may be amply paid by the
stores open In the forenoon when
the crowd Ia In town. We will all
put our shoulders to the wheel and
push the good thing along. There
are people suffering In Hooking
county for want Of food; no better
way could we help them than this.
Let those interested come together
IN a meeting this week and appoint
committees, and go at the work
right. Our paper is open to the
push. and If no body catches up the
lame we will give big day our.
'elves and borrow Bob Kittsmillers
cannon and blow up the sleepy
reads.

Mclean
VIII Open Headquarters In Cincinnati
Friday.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June g.
John r. Mclean will leave for Gin
cinnati tomorrow. His stay there
will be indefinite. An active cam
paign will be begun at once to Sc
cure the election of Democratic
Legislature this fall, with Hamil.
ton County as the battle groGnd
Cincinnati Democrats who have
been here since the spring election
have assured Mclean that with q
strong ticket Hamilton County can
be carried with comparative ease.
There Is but little doubt that an
understanding exists between Nc
Lean and the Republican reform
ers, one Of whom at least saw Nc
Lean In Washington not many
weeks ago.
The action of the Hamilton
County Democrats will depend
largely on the activity Of George b.
Cox in making up Republican
Legislative ticket; but, in any
event, the Democrats will be very
careful In selecting senatorial and
House candidates, the intention
now being to nominate a business
mans ticket.
Cuyahoga County will receive
full measure Of attention, with the
view of capturing her legislative
delegation, and the rupture in
Cleveland between Hanna and
Mayor McKisson will be taken ad.
vantage of. From now on the DEM
ocratic senatorial campaign will be
from Cincinnati and the
Queen City viii become the Mecca
for Democratic politicians from all
over Ohio.-Cincinnati Post.

More 1,r0mhle
In Hooking County for the Republican
Party.

/
Congressman Grosvenor has
played thunder again In Hooking
county. He has recommended the
following fourth class postmasters
Gibisonville, William T. Brashares;
Carbon Hill, David p. Evans; I'm
lon Furnace, Z. d. Kelly; LAUREL
vile, Ed. Ricketts,; Murray City,
s. p. Holiday; Monday, Joshua H.
Jackson; South Perry, James w.
Weaver.
Now all OF this sounds very nice
and no doubt the recipients will
say "thanks General;" but look out
for the fellows who got the promis-
es and are still holding the bag for
the spoils. There was Thos. Gas.
tell, at Murray City, who had the
undivided and unquestioned sup
port of his party and promise Of the
bosses. He had the endorsement
Of both committees, but dang-it all,
after while 1t developed that Holj-
day also had the same endorse
ments with clause that said call
former endorsements are hereby
revoked" This was perfectly aw-
full, from an honorable stand point,
but nothing is too low for the Re.
publican party, and Of this Castell
is convinced and says he is done
with them forever.
And there is the appointment Of
James Weaver, at South Perry.
Jim Is a nice man, but II there ev-
er was a man that tugged and
worked necessarily for the repubii.
can party in his precinct, it was
our old friend Mike Willard, of
South Perry. We always feared
him when he pulled his coat, for
we knew his strength, but when 1t
comes to receiving anything when
the plumbs are being dished around
by his own party, he isn't in 1t. He
must 60 on and work for his party
but let the other fellow draw the
salary. Is there any encourage
ment for such workers as Mike
willard has been, in the actions
of Boss Grosvenor 1t is not hu-
man nature for Mr.. Willard to 60
on working for his party after such
a turn down, and like the small
boy says, "he would be fool II he
lid"
The young Hercules, Ed. Rick
etts of Laurelville, was favored
with the post office at that place.
Ed, at one time, was quite popular
n Laurelville, but he messed
around somehow until the whole
seems to have it in for
him, and he was let out of the
schools, and many petitions went
n against him as postmaster, but
he great king Grosvenor named
him regardless. Now near all the
Republicans out there, what few
here were left, have raised up in ,
rms and say they will vote the
traight Democratic ticket. Too |
'ad that men get mad when they {
re smeared all over and rubbed 1
n. 9
And such il is al over the county. [
Every body is going to vote the |
Democratic ticket. Had a notion G
D vote 1t anyhow on account of the I
nfernal lies about prosperity, but t

traw that breaks the cameps back.
his county will go 1000 Democrat.

SIMPLICITY ITSELF.
A SIMPLE HARMLESS REMEDY.
Yer It Cures Inc Worst cases Of Dyspepsia
 and indigestIoa.

Dr. Jennison who has made life study of stomach troubles. says: All forms of indigestion really amount to the same thing, that is, failure to completely digest the food eaten; no matter whether the trouble is acid dyspepsia OF sour stomach, belehing of wind, nervous dyspepsia or loss Of flesh and appetite; d person will not have any of them ii the stomach can be induced by any natural harm less way to thoroughly digest what Is eaten, and this can be done by q simple remedy which [ have tested in hundreds of aggravated cases with complete success.
 The remedy is a combination of fruit and vegetable essences, pure aseptie pepsin and golden seal put up in the form of pleasant tasting tablets and sold by druggists under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. One or two of these tablets should be taken after meals and allowed to dissolve in the mouth. and ml..l,tli4=s with the food in the stomach digests it com pletely before it has time 10 ierlnent, decay and sour.
 On actual experiment. one grain Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest three thousand grains ofmeat eggs and similar wholesome foods.
 1t is safe to say if this wholesome remedy was better known, by people generally, it would be q national blessing, as we are nation of dys- peptics and nine tenths of ail diseases owe their origin to imper- feet digistion and nutrition. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are not q secret patent medine, but 5t'c package will do more real good for q weak stomach than $50 worth of patent medicines, and person has the satisfaction of knowing just what he is putting into his stomach, which be does not know, when widely ad- vertised patent medicines are used.

LIFE BEF0' DE WAR, DEPICT
 ED IN STORY AND SONG.
Polk Miller, Assisted by Oscar P Sisson and Miss Ester Wallace at the Opera House Last
 Night.


 The entertainment given by Polk Miller, the inimitable dialect story teller. and his assistants. at the opera house Tuesday night was one of the most enjoyable attractions at the opera house this season. The entertainment was unique and orig inal throughout. Mir. Miller is without a peer in nimicing the negro. It has been said Of him that to hear him talk, and not see him, one would think that it was m old darkey talking, and to hear an old darkey talking and not see him. one would be convinced thatit was Polk Miller telling his stories.
 1t was readily perceived at the entertainment last night that Mr. Miller had not acquired his art in the elocution schools Of New Eng land. as many wonld-be dialect readers do, but by living among the negroes on the plantations and ob- serving thei? manners and conversa- tions he has absorbed an ability 10 reproduce on the stage their very lines.
 Mir. Miller said that the limitations of the negro by minstrels was Il farce, and when compared with his mimmicing, it is SO.
 The entertainment was instructive and valuable from an historical standpoint. A "beio' de war ne- gro is something rare, and to many Mir. Miller's entertainment affords an opportunity not otherwise pos sible of realizing what the life of the slave negro was and of the fond re- lationship existing between servant and master. Taking his banjo, Mr Miller would sing song of the dar- key youth that would convulse the audience with laughter. And, again, he would sing of some touching scene of separation of Il slave from his master and companion, or of some incident of fidelity that would bring tears to the eyes of his listeners. His song of the Huckle- berry Pickin and others, and his description of an old slave negro showing free issue' youths how to ride a mule. were exceileatly illus trations of negro life
 In the gallery were two old negroes whose actions furnished almost as much amusement as did MT. Miller They npded to each other their ap- proval and appreciation. and evi- dently were amused ns recoileetions of old times were brought back te them.
 Mir. Miller was assisted by Oscar r. Sisson and Miss Ester Wallace, and their comedy acts afforded variety to the entertainment. The sv. eet. girlish graees of Miss Wallace and her pure and beautiful voice charmed the audience. In the third "Old Times Down South, they ren- dered excellent assistence to Mr. Mil- Ter by appearing as New England family. Mir. Miller appeared as m old negro attired in ragged clothes,
