Birthday Surprise.

When A. J. Vandenbroek went
home as usual Saturday to his even
ing meal, he was very much sur
prised to find his comfortable home
taken possession of by about forty OF
his gentlemen friends. These friends
had congregated upon invitation OF
Mrs. Vandenbroek, who had planned
a surprise upon her husband, the oc-
casion being his 48th birthday ami
versary. The evening proved a most
enjoyable one to all present, and
no one seemed to enjoy it more than
Mr.. V. himself. A bountiful re-
Tepast was served, after which a
social game of pedro whiled away
the hours Of the evening. AS re-
membrance of his 48th birthday Mr..
Vandenbroek was presented with a
fine large easy chair.

$4,000 Damage Suit.

Last Thursday Clerk Brown en-
tered a SO, 1000 damage suit brought
by Blanche e. M. Woodward against
Willard T. Mohler. The plaintiff in
her petition sets forth claims as fol-
lows:
"Now comes the said plaintiff and
complains of the defendant and says
that or or about the 1st day of Octo-
Der, 1896, the plaintiff, she bel BIZ then
a single woman, at the feaue5 of the
defendant, he being then d single
man, and in consideration of his
promise to marry her as hereafter
set forth, did promise the defendant
to marry him, and the defendant did
then and there promise to marry
plaintiff. The plaintiff relying on
the promise of defendant to marry
her has ever since remained q single
woman, and has ever since been
ready and willing to marry the de
feAdant, of all of which the defend
ant had due notice. That after
wards at divers times she requested
defendant to fulfil his said promise
and marry her, but the defendant
under some pretext postponed the
permonance of the marriage cere-
mony until about Jan. 14th, 1897. :"
The petition here continues and says
''the defendant married one Ida E.
Eisaman on that date. And plain
tiff further says that at and until the
18th, day Of October, 1896, she was a
ehaste woman, ofgood character, but
the defendant having won her affec-
tion and confidence as set forth
above did at that time seduce her. y
For this injury to her health, feel
ings, affections and lost social stand
ing, character and repute in the
community the plaintiff asks for

GOVERNOR TURNEY, of Tennessee,
in his message, asks that gold con-
tracts be barred. He advises the legis-
lature to enact a law that no obliga-
tion hereafter executed payable in
gold alone or gold contract be en-
forceable in Tennessee in the courts
and that Judgment on such contracts
shall be discharged in any legal ten
der currency, and that gold mortga-
ges and deeds of trusts executed by
citizens in this state, including rail-
roads and street railroads, be non-en-
forceable as to the gold clauses. This
would be good and just law. The
United States Congress should pass
similar one. This is the proper pre-
liminary step to the restoration of
silver as q money metal.

The Sugar Beet In Ohio.

The numerous inquiries which are
being received, relative to the out
look for profitable beet sugar produc
ton in this State, indicate that there
is at present a widespread interest IN
this industry in Ohio.
The Ohio Experiment Station has
repeatedly cultivated sugar beets for
stock feeding purpose, and they have
had no difficulty in producing, IL to
20 tons per acre under favorable con-
ditions. The cost of production is
considerably greater than in the case
of the field crops ordinarily grown in
Ohio, but as with any other crop, the
lowest cost is only attained by expert
ence. The chief difficulty the Ohio
farmer will experience in the culture
of sugar beets will be found in the
thinning, but by care in planting the
labor of thinning may be considerab-
ly reduced.
In 1891 the U. S. Department OF
Agriculture determined the precent-
age of sugar in a large number OF
samples OF sugar beets, receiv ed from
twenty counties in Ohio, and since
that time the Ohio Experiment Sta
tion has analyzed considerable ad-
ditional number of samples. The re-
suits of this work Indicate that beets
may be so grown as to contain n suf-
ficient PERCENTAGE of sugar for prof.
table for working, throughout the
northern half of the State, wherever
soil conditions are suitable.
The cost of buildings and machine
ry and the working capital required
to start a factory equipped for the
most economical manufacture of beet
sugar amountsto q total not far short
of q quarter of million dollars, and
such a factory will require the pro-
duce of at least a thousand acres in
beets for successful operation.
The production of beet sugar in
Europe has been stimulated by a
system of export bounties, until the
total product now exceeds that OF
the cane sugar product of the world.
Under this increase of product the
price of refined sugar in New York
has fallen from an average of ten and
a quarter cents per pound in 1878 to
four and half cents for 1894.
At present, sugar imported into the
United States, except from the
Hawaiian Islands, pays an import
duty of 40 per cent ad valorem. with
one tenth cent per pound additional
on raw sugar, and nearly one-fourth
cent on refined sugar, which has re-
ceived an export bounty. Notwith-
standing this heavy duty, the impor-
tation of best sugar seems to be on
the increase.
Because of the possible great i'm
portance of this industry to the
farmers of Ohio, bulletin is now be.
ing complied by the Experiment Sta
tion at Wooster, which will give the
experience of other states in the pro-
duction of beet sugar, and the prob
able outlook for beet culture in Ohio

HARD TIMES
HOV to Live, How to ave and
How to Deal in Margins.

Most people live without
counting the cost expecting
something to turn up; to strike
some scheme or to find some
thing which will not only en-
able them to pay their debts
but make them wealthy. He
who surely follows this plan
will just as surely come to
want. He who calculates well
will, at the end of the year,
see what his expenses and in.
come have been. If he finds
his income has not been suf-
fcient to meet his bills and lay
up a small margin besides, he
should begin to look around
and see where he can cut down
best. The past year has been
a hard one on every one of us
and this year we will all have
to cut down our expenses.
There are many ways in which
a man can save, that q little
here and a little there will soon
amount to a large sum. Fo1
instance, when you go to buy
your Drugs, Books, Oils and
Paints, Wall and Window Pa
pers, go to Saur & Balsley's
Drug and Book Store where
you will always find a large
nice stock to select from. GET
their prices, then if you are
not suited 60 elsewhere and
see if you can not do a little
better. Always go where you
can get what you need (not
what you want), for the least
money.
Messrs. Saur & Balsley have
had over thirty years Of con.
tinuous business experience in
their line, and have always
made an effort to buy goods
at the very lowest cash prices.
In the drug department every
thing is kept nice, new and
fresh; no old remedies allowed
to accumulate and only those
which have been tried and
proved, are recommended by
this house. In the line OF
Paints, Oils and Varnishes the
best in the land is always Sc
cured and sold at the lowest
prices. Wall and window pa,
pers, cloth shades and fixtures
are made a speciality. Every
thing in the line of School
Books, Miscellaneous Books
Blank, books for all kind o1
tradesmen, Pass Books, Mem
oranuums, Diaries, Writing Pa
per, Stationary, ETC., you will
always find complete and sole
at bottom prices. Trusses, Sup
porters, Shoulder Braces and
Surgical Instruments of al
kinds kept constantly on hane
and can be furnished on shorr
notice.
During this season a specia
price will be put on all paints
and oils to get room for tht
spring stock, It would pay
you to lay in a supply.

PASSING OF INITIATED COIN.
New Law Makes Ii "a Criminal OrYensc
and Provides Penalties.

Washington, March 27.-Letters by
the bushel have been pouring in on the
treasury department asking for infor-
nation concerning the new law in re-
lation to the passing of mutiated coin,
although those seeking the information
might, in majority of cases, have Sc
cured it from the United States district
attorneys or secret service officers of
their respective localities. In brief it
NAV be explained that the law is in the
main an extension of that against coun-
terfeiting. 1t provides that the pass
ing of mutilated or defaced coins, or
the mutilation and DETACHMENT of coin
for any purpose shall be held TO be a
criminal offense, punishable by impris-
onment for period of one to five years
and fine of 800 to So 900. Under this
law the practice of presenting ladies
with coins of gold or silver, with the
initials of the donor engraved thereon.
to be worn as bangles, is criminal
offense. The law also drives out of
business a number of people who have
made a good living by purchasing mu-
tilated coins at IL reduction from their
face value and plugging up the holes so
skillfully that the original mutilation
could not be discovered. Even this
kind of tampering with the money of
the government will be regarded as an
otfense under the statute.
