A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with very severe cold that caused him
to be in most miserable condition. 1t
was undoubtedly a bad case OF la grippe
and recognizing it as dangerous ne took
immediate steps to bring about speedy
cure. From the advertisement of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and the
many good recommendation included
therein, we concluded to make first
trial Uf the medicine. To say that it
was satisfactory in its results, is put
ting it very mildly, indeed. 1t acted
like a magic and the result was
speedy and permanent cure. We have
no hesitancy in recommending this ex-
cellent Cough Remedy to anyone
afflicted with cough or cold in any

A Fine increase.

Coun ty Auditor Gaghan reports that
the total valuation OF property in
Wood county this year is $2O,665, $40,
an increase of $3.50, ,44O over '96. Nearly
all counties in the state are complain

but the above report shows much diff

for this handsome increase rightfully
belongs largely to the efforts OF Audi

A gentleman living in Perrsyburg in
speaking OF Senator Hanna, says, that
ever since the Senator was big enough
TO sit on an Office stool, he has been
hard at work to make for himself both
an honorable reputation and fortune,
that he has succeeded through strength
OF will and constant effort. He went
into the iron and copper country of
the upper lake region and did more
toward developing that country than
any other man; that he has employed
thousands of men and has been an hon.
orable employer, and that whatever of
fame, fortune and honor he receives,
he is worthy of and justly entitled to
receive.

The friends of Senator John r. Han
key will be pleased to learn that though
still a very sick man, as result of an
attack of typhoid fever, he is on the
road to recovery. His absence from
the campaign at this time is doubtless
matter of deep regret to him. The
jubilation in the opposition camp has
made itself manifest, but such unseem-

The great effort of the silver propa-
gauda has been to make it appear that
free silver would be the friend OF the
farmer, and the statement was made,
and peryaded the silver literature, that
low silver made low grain. The ex-
periences of this year have proven that
the alleged relation between silver and
grain-the string that ties them tc-
gether-was fanciful.

Ing the residence of a man named Uhl,
formerly an inmate of an insane asylum.
The shot evidently came from the house
and Constable Gus Koch went to the
place to investigate. The door was
opened by Uhl, who fired at the officer
point blank. The bullet grazed Koch 8
neck and cut a f,irrow In the velvet COL

burned his face and eyes. Koch was
blinded and fell down the steps. Uhl
fired three more shots at him but he was
not hit. Uhl entered his house. reloaded

done, in spite of strong presentation Of
the case just made before Secretary Of

GOVERNMENT TEST
Will Settle the Question Of Superiority
in Asphalt

At today's session of the board Of public
works the several firms and companies
who have been bidding for asphalt street
work or who may hereafter desire TO fur
nish their product Of asphalt, will submit
samples Of their goods. These samples
and all others which can be obtained will
be marked carefully and sent to Wash
ington for ANALYSIS by the government.
The purpose of this is to forever settle the
question of superiority of the several
grades offered here and at the same time
provide an absolute rule for street speci-
hcations In future. The marks by which
the several brands are to be identified will
not be made known to the chemist who
makes the tests, but his report will be
made first on such and such numbers, and
afterWard the announcement will be made
as to which Of the samples the numbers
represent. City Engineer Dockweiler first
proposed this plan, and the services of a
government expert will be secured through
the efforts Of Senator White. The tests
will be Of great Importance to all cities
using asphalt.
