No one should miss seeing the Cor
bett Fitzsimmons pictures at the Audi
torium next Tuesday night. The sixth
and last rounds are particularly inter
esting. The charge that the decisive
blow was chance or fluke blow is moi
borne out by the Veriscope. During
the last round it is plainly evident tina,
Fitzsimmons was trying to land q
Knockout blow. The incidents before
during and after the big contest are
portrayed true to life, and give to spec.
tators an accurate idea of what took
place in the ring.

HIS NOSE WAS HIS EYE.
Strange Result of an Accident 60
Sixteenth Century Man.


sixteenth Century Man.
Several authors of the sixteenth CEN
tury mentioned the existence OF man
who, having lost his eyesight. could
see through his nose, says the Philadel-
phia Record. The story, much doubted
at the time and pronounced fabulous
by physicians, is nevertheless true If
the researches of Z. Douliot prove cor
rect. It seems that the victim had lost
his right eye early In life, and later
on while climbing ON cherry tree fell
upon fence, the pickets horribly mutt
lating the left eye, the cheek and the
nose. The surgeon called in consid-
cred the eye entirely destroyed, sewed
| up the wound and it healed in time,
forming a large scar where the eye
had been. A year later the man, then
considered stoneblind, lay in the grass.
when he surprised himself by discov-
ering that he could perceive through
the cavity of the nose the sky and the
color of the flowers on the meadow
around. him. From that time on he
practiced for five or six years TO see
with his nose, which to him became
practically the organ of vision. He
gradually became more proficient in
seeing in this way and could see every
thing beneath him while he remained
quite insensible to the light from above.
The condition of this man can be
explained scientifically. Although the
lens of the eye had been torn from its
socket by the fall, the optic membrane
and the nerves at the rear of the cavity
of the eye had retained some of the
seeing power. When the eye had healed
together a small hole in the bone over
the nose must have formed which acted
as lens in the same way as pinhole
can be used to take photogra phic pic
ture. This also proves that the retina
of the eye acts like camera obscura
where the objects from the outside be-
come visible when the rays of light
arrive there after passing through a
small opening.

derland, c. P. Cochran, w. f. Robert

Anumber ofgentlemen presen spoke
forcibly upon the urgent need of saw
ing the Lobdell industry to Marietta
and quoted circumstances showing the
certainty that we will lose it If the
$40, 600 is not raised.
1t was determined by the enlarged
committee to push the work of solicit
ing with renewed vigor, to the end
that the matter may be satisfactorily
closed by January sth, 1898.

MILD WINTER, SURE.

Hornets Nests Are Low, Nuts Are
Scarce, and Weeds Are Short.
"Well have q mild winter, unless my
signs fail me-" says Henry Rife, the old
est farmer in Laltukenny township, N.
Y, according to an exchange, who has
all his life been noted as q weather
prophet among the folks along the
North mountains, land guess this
from the hornets, the nuts, and the
| woods. notice that the hornets have
built their nests low. They would be
high up out of reach, were we going to
have hard winter. can't explain
this, but my father and grandfather al
ways gauged by this. Then nuts of all
kinds are scarce. There are hardly any
chestnuts. shellbarks, or acorns. If a
hard winter was coming the Good Man
would have provided for the animals
that must starve this year If the snow
lies deep. A big crop Of nuts is always
followed by hard winter, and this also
works the other way. Then / notice
that the weeds have grown up short.
and their seeds hang near the ground.
Were hard winter coming the weeds
would have grown up tall. so that when
the snow would lie deep the birds could
hop along on the snow and get theseeds
from the top of the plants. If the weeds
are covered with snow for long time,
the birds can't get any feed. The Good
Man looks after the birds, too, and I
don't believe they viii! starve this win
ter on account of the berries and seeds
being covered with snow. For these
three reasons think we'll have mild
winter"

The single gold standard advocates

consciously, doing the silver men great
favor by trying to force the administration
into the advocacy of financial bill intend
ed to perpetuate the single gold standard
on the country, at the coming session of
Congress. Nothing would please the
silver men SO well as to see this issue
forced to the front by an attempt to jam
legislation through Congress. Without
the active assistance of the administration
it cannot he done. Left to himself, Mr.
Mckinley would let the financial ques

One Of the bright features Of the
campaign is that Democrats are full OF
hope and enthusiasm. There is much
in the situation in this county to in
splre hope. The Republicans are far
from being 4 happy family, and the re-
cent dissatisfaction in the party, though
not SO manifest, is still deep and wide
spread. The leaders have "compro-
mised," but the people are not satisfied.
Democrats will, indeed, be untrue to
themselves, if by apathy and indiffer-
cnce they should let so fair an orpor-
tunity to win escape them. Let us be
up and doing.

and disposition to vote independent

They are beginning to think for them
selves, and in so doing are avoiding
mistakes into which they are sometimes
led by selfish and ambitious leaders.
