SNOW BLOCKADE.

ST. Paul. March LIT has showed
furiously all day in this city, several
inches being added to the tremendous
pile already on the ground. Cars OF
the street railway companies are NOV
ing with great difficulty and the steam
railway lines are in a state Of demor-
alization. At several points north and
west of St. Paul trains are wholly
abandoned and little effort is being
made to move rolling stock on branch
lines. SO certain it is that there will
be a big flood when the snow disappears
that the residents in low lands are be-
ginning to prepare for it.

Burglary in the Country.

The residences of DAVID ellison and
Chas. Gum, two farmers living
several miles west of town, were
visited by burglars last Saturday af-
ternoon while the families were
away from home. Mr., ellison and
wife were at the Edward Gum re-
union and picnic while Chas. Gum
was in Napoleon. The robbers ran
sacked everything in both houses
scattering everything over the floor.
Nothing was taken but what little
money was found. The thieves
were evidently in buggy as
wheel tracks could be seen at both
places. The Marshal and Sheriff are
both on the lookout for the robbers
but have no trace of them as yet.
Although the robbers were but
slightly remunerated for their troub-
le, they might have struck quite a
haul. The only safe place for mon
ey to be kept is in a responsible
bank, not hid under the carpets or
tucked back in some bureau drawer.
The country is full of tramps and
reckless characters and their rob-
berries and tortured victims are num-
bered by the score. Put your money
in some good bank and rest easy.

GLOVER LEAF MAUD"
A YOUNG WOMAN LEADS
THE LAZY LIFE OF A
HOBO.
Only One of Her Kind in the
COuntry-FOrmerly Made all
of Her Pilgrimages Over
the Clover Leaf.

Perhaps the only woman in the
large army OF hobos in the country
is "Clover Leaf Maud" depraved
specimen of womanhood, who is
known all along the route of the
Glover Leaf railroad, says the Bluff
ton, Ind, New8.
Glover Leaf Maud is at least 90
years old. She is said to be the
daughter of well to do people living
in Grant county. The girl was al
ways of a stubborn and depraved ma
ture and wholly incorrigible. She is
a natural born tramp, and is never
better satisfied than when "hoboing"
over the country in the box car of
some freight train. About three years
ago the Big -Four company issued a
special order against this tramp, and
any crew that would permit her to
ride on a train was subject to dismis-
sal.
The woman got her name because
when she first set out as tramp her
pilgrimages were all made along the
Glover Leaf railroad, where she would
ride any place from the trucks of a
swift moving passenger train to the
top of freight car.
For some time Maud has been lead
ing a retired life. She has been stay
ing in the Madison county infirmary,
but took offense at something that
happened there and left the place to
resume her wandering1.
In years the woman is young, but
her face is marred by vice until she
looks to be twice her age. She swears
like a trooper. drinks like fish and
is terrible example of the degarda-
ton into which a human being can
fall.

An Ohio Lynching.

The eighth lynching in the history
of Ohio as state took place at Ur-
.bana last Friday morning.
Recently Mrs. Eliza Gaumer, the
widow of the late publisher of the
Urbana Democrat, was criminally
assaulted by Charles, alias "Click"
Mitchell, a notorious negro. The as
sault was committed while the wo-
man was doing her household work.
The negro was bound over to court
by the Mayor and the case was of
such Importance that Especial Grand
July was called. The body in
dicted him and the court found
Mitchell guilty and he was sentenced
to 90 years in the penitentary-the
limit of the law in such cases. This
did not satisfy the citizens and after
Mitchell was hurried back to jail an
immense crowd surrounded it. Cries
of Hang him. were frequent and at
midnight on Thursday the crowd
numbered over 5000. Sheriff McClain
feared trouble and swore in num-
ber of deputies and called out the To-
cal militia, Co. d, 3rd Regt., o. N. G..
in two hours, or at 2 O'Clock Friday
morning, the mob made an attack on
the Jail but were met by volley
from the militia which killed two
men and wounded six others. The
mob immediately broke and ran, but
after their deadly yolley the militia
refused to guard the prisoner any
longer and retired to the second sto-
ry of the jail. The shooting of the
night only enraged the mob and at
7o'clock Friday morning they made
a rush for the jail and finding no re-
sistance SOON broke in the doors, Sc
cured the keys and got the prisoner.
A rope was placed over his neck and
he was pushed and kicked tosa tree
in the corner OF the court house
yard where the rope was thrown over
limb and the wretch jerked into
eternity The body was left hanging
for an hour before it was cutrdown
and given to an undertaken. On &C.
count of the firing of the militia the
Sheriff, Captain of the company and
many of the soldiers were forced to
leave the city, but as the excitement
gradually subsidies and the anger Of
the citizens cools they are returning
ing to their homes and work.

A.Yisitation of Bugs.

Within the past few weeks Pike
county, Ohio, has become a veritable
Egypt for plaques and pests to pre-
vent growing vegetation. The chinch
bug first made it's appearance about
u month ago and in consequence
many fields of wheat are now yellow
and worthless. Later on the insects
are expected to attack the corn The
chinch pest has been followed by the
white grub worm, which works on
the roots of the clover and wheat, de-
stroying in many instances entire
fields of these crops. 1t is thought
that the wet weather has been the
cause of their breeding. The grub
worm has been followed by the ad-
vent of millions OF locusts, which, in
the western portion of the county,
darken the air, bend vegetation to
the earth with their weight and
deafen the ear with their noises.
The farmers are compelled to take
switches and drive them from their
door yards, gardens and grain fields
in the hope that they may yet save a
portion of their crops.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have rumb-
ling sounds or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness
is the result, and unless the infiam
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

Henry County Has a Guberna-
material Candidate.

After mature deliberation Hon. d.
d. Donovan of Deshler has declared
himself a candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor.
Henry county is thus little late
in entering the field but believing in
the old adage that it is better late
than never, it will go to the approach
ing state convention unanimous in
the support of its gallant son, Hon.
d. D. Donovan, and will ask the De-
mocracy of the state to make him its
candidate for Governor, believing
that he is the man to lead his party
to glorious victory this fall.
Mr.. Donovan has faithfully served
the people in the lower house of the
state legislature for two terms, and
also served two terms in the lower
house of Congress, and during his
long career as the representative of
the people in the legislative halls at
Columbus and Washington, his
standing and character have always
been of the highest, making a record
that was creditable to himself and
party.
During the memorable campaign
of last fall Mr.. Donovan was enthu-
siastic for the Chicago platform and
the principles it ennuciated, and Mfr.
Bryan had no more ardent support
er than he had in the person of Mr..
Donovan, who threw his whole soul
into the campaign and did valiant
service for the cause of the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. He is
still advocating the cause of the
white metal, and believes that his
party should keep steadfast in its
support of the Chicago platform, and
SO proclaim at the coming state con.
vention.
Mr.. Donovan has always remained
close to the people, their cause being
his cause, their interest his inherent,
and If he is accorded this guberna-
torial nomination the people Of the
great State of Ohio will flock to hi.
support this fall with such a unanimity
that the enemies of the double stand
ard will be put to an ignominiou'
flight and victory will perch upor
the banner of a triumphant Demo
cratic party.

ENGLAND VS.. AMERICA.
The Extent of the Coffee Habit.

When one notices the difference in
the average people of England and
American regarding their diet and
digestive abilities, some natural in
quiries come up. What does the
Englishman eat that gives him such
good digestion, and what is the reas-
on for much dyspepsia among Ameri-
cans?
Rudyard Kipling makes out a 'pIe
belt" through New England, and says
its pathway is strewn with dyspeptics.
The Americans love for lard loaded
pastry is probably the cause of some
trouble, but the apparently harmless
coffee is without doubt the father of
mere stomach troubles in America
than any other item of food or drink.
Great Britain consumes about &c, 000,-
900 pounds of coffee annually while
America disposes of something like
$50, 600, 900, nearly or quite eleven
times as much.
Analytical chemistry discovers the
same poisonous alkaloids in coffee
as are found in strychnine, morphine,
tobacco and whisky.
These slight poisons taken daily,
accumulate until the effect on the
nerves and stomach is pitiable with
some people (who are peculiarly
susceptible to poisons); the doses are
continued from day to day without
knowledge of what is so surely des-
troying the power of nerves and
stomach.
1t is trial to give up coffee, but a
new beverage has made its appear.
ance on the market which is so like
Jave coffee in its deep seal brown
color and assuming the rich golden
brown of thick Mocha when cream is
added, that lovers of coffee who are
denied its use, because of the effects,
can adopt this new food drink freely.
The change in taste is so slight that
many do not discover that any
change has been made. The new
product is called Postum, and it is
asserted by the manufacturers, the
Postum Cereal Co., Limited, Battle
Creek, Mich, that is consists wholly
and solely of wheat and other cereals,
carefully cooked and roasted in diff
ferent ways. When the parts are
mixed or blended perfect breakfast
beverage, true health coffee results,
which contains the nourishing and
healthful properties of the grains in
tended by nature for mans subsist
ence. ,.tt.
1t is worthy the trial of anyone
who has trouble with coffee, or who
desires to regulate their habits witt
due regard to health and longevity.

ItgPays to Buy the Best.

There are we'll meaning people who
when selecting paint for their house
or barn, take the cheapest paint
they can find. Such paints usually
last year or two at best, when your
building will need repainting. For the
past twenty years Saur q Balsley
have been educating the people to
the fact that the very best paint OBJ
tainable is cheaper by one-half than
the SO called cheap paints. How
well they have succeeded in convinc-
ing their patrons of this truth is at
tested by the fact that their sales of
the B. P. s. paint in the past year
has been nearly a thousand gallons.
1t is the best paint sold. Call on
Saur & Balsley for color cards of this
paint.
