Drop Harness.

1t does not seem much of moment
for us to have made long and con-
tinued fight for drop harness for
our fire team and now rejoice in
their having been secured, but
some small necessities of little cost
meet adversely in the council some
times and it becomes ob5ervant TO
fight little for what We think is
needed. Now the harness have
been secured, and are being sus-
pended, and the cost comes under
$4,000. The few minutes differ
encc at night between putting on
the common harness, and swapping
the drop harness might in many
event save hundreds Of dollars of
property. Also the humanity Of
the thing comes in line when we
that now the horses may
stand but haltered where here to.
fore they were compelled to wear
the old harness nearly all of the
time. A simple system Of alarm
now, and VIC are complete for fight
ing fire.

Board of Trade.

Our city has long been void of a
Board of Trade and why such 10
the case seems to be the result of
latent energy in our community.
We should have a Board of Trade
to lock TO the securing for our city
any manufa ctories that may be
looking for location. TO look to
the furtherance Of the best cOnditi-
Ons Of our city. TO go before the
council and fight for that which
would be advantageous for our
city's better ment. A Board Of
Trade could have under their ad-
visement the matter Of lighting
when the Citizens Electric Light
Co. franchize expires, also the Nat
ural gas proposition, also look TO
the beautifying OF our city by con-
verting some of the dog yards on
the public square into parks or
market places. A Board OF Trade
is the life of the place. 1t Is some
head to live community who will
go ahead and push the betterm ent
we all want. Let us organize q
Board OF Trade at once with good
business men in 1t who will push
our city to the front.

The real place for Mr.. Hanna is in

President elect are really
"rwo souls with but n single thought,
Two hears that beat as one."
Major Mckinley is entirely inde-
pendent, and he exercises that in

he will advise. 1t is evident that

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

By local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
tho ear. There Is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con.
stitutIonal remedies. Deafness Is
caused by an iniiamed condition OF
the mucous lining of the Eustach-
ian Tube. When this tube Is in
famed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it
is entirely closed, Deafness Is the
result, and unless the Inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re-
stored toits normal condition, hear

cases out of ten are caused by ca

Wrong Telegram.

1t Is very evident now that the
Western Union Telegraph Com
pany Is responsible for the mistakes
in the telegram from Mr.. Finck OF
Somerset, to Mr.. Donahue, in refer
ence to the G. S & Ii. receivership.
The operator at Somerset admits
that the telegram handed him by
Mr.. Finck to be transmitted, read
"No"; while the following affidavit
proves conclusively that it was re-
ceived at Logan and there deliver
ed to Mr. Donahue, reading "Yes."

We also, in last weeks paper,
published special from the Innes-

Judge Slough had reversed Judge
Wright, and that in doing so had
said, that at the time of the ap-
polntment there was no necessity
therefor. 1t appears that this was
Il mistake, and that Judge Slough
approved and indors I'd
the appointment of the receiver
made by Judge Wright, but be-
cause Of the fnct that a supercedes
bond had been given to protect the
plaintiffs claim, there then appear
ed to Judge Slough no reason why
he receiver should be longer main
,ained, and for that reason he was
and ordered to report.

little homes from being red~ced to
ashes.

work in eXtinguishing and keep

No Friends.

There never was man who Oc-
cupied the Presidential chair at
the hands of Democracy that so
woeeully betrayed every trust given
him, as Grover Cleveland. He first
ignored his party entire; chen turn
ed traitor to the principles of De-
mocracy; and to complete his
hostility to all entrusted to him, he
urged the election of a Republican
president, while yet holding his
Office under Democracy, and, as if
fearing still, there might yet be one
friend left him of the old guard, he
openly refuses to vote, but urged
all his Office holders 10 vote for Me-
Kinley. On March 4th he will
leave his seat, the most heartily
despised man that ever by accident
disgraeed it, and with as few friends
as Benedict Arnold, when he sail
ed from West Point on that fatal
night.-Jackson Herald.

A Good Place For Hanna.

1t is given out with considerahle g
solemnity that the mind Of the
President elect will now be largely
occupied with the consideration Of
the question Of who shall be his
Secretary. Not his "private secre-
retary," but his "Secretary." The
President elect is reported as earn
estly appealing to congressman
who visit him to change the name
of the Office of "private secretary"
TO that Of Secretary" only. He
suggests that this can be done Dy n
simple change in the item of the
appropriation bill which approprl-
ates money to pay the salary Of
the "prIvate secretary of the Presi-
dent" The reason given for this
is that it is the purpose of the Pres
ident elect "to enlarge the dignity
Of the Office in question until it is
almost equal to Cabinet po5ition."
Furthermore, it is stated that the
President elect desires "somethiag
more than the ordinary private
secretary; that great interest at
tacheS to the man he will select,
and that 1t is currently reported
that Major Mckinley has urged
Bellamy St0rer, of Cincinnati, to
take the place."
This scheme of Major McKinley's,
If successful, would open the way
TO a peaceful and happy solution of
the Senatorial muddle. At the
risk OF seeming intrusive, The En-
quirer cannot refrain from suggest
ing what this solution could be.
Let Bellamy Storer succeed MIR.
Sherman in tho Senate, and let
Mark Hanna be made the "Secre.
retary" OF the Rresid nt,-not the
"private secretary" the "ordinary
private secretary" but the "Secre-
tary." With the dignity OF the Of
Ace enlarged "until 1t is almost
equal to Cabinet positiOn," who

ter of American politics, Mark
Hanna? Even the private secre-
taryship" has been made ilustri-
Gus by Deacon Rodgers under the
reign Of Rutherford the Good, and |
by our own Thurber, with his
whiskers, under the reign of Gro.
yer L. Indeed, although carrying
the weight of the privacy of his
"secretaryship,p Mr.. Thurber has
become the second man in the re-
public. He has guarded the per-
son of the royal being whom he
serves as tho Mlkado of Japan Is
guarded and protected from the
gaze of others. No Senator, mem.
Der of Congress,G Governor Of a state
or other digniiary can enter the

prostrating himself before "Private

inventory OF the objects
Of his visit and the subjects upon
which, If admitted, he will converse
with the President. This has plac-
ed Congress on Thurber's hands,
instead OF leaving II, as formerly,

Accommodating Mourner..

Here is an instance of his willingness
to oblige: was making sketch of
the village cemetery and wanted only
a funeral procession to complete my
study. / remarked to the old man:
sWhat pity there does not happen to
be funeral going on, so that | might
put it inl" His reply took me by sur
prise; for, jumping up, he said: There
is a man i'll in the village, and he must
die soon; I'll go and hurry him up!'
And, sure enough, he hustled them all
so much that an hour later my sketch
was complete and the man safely In
terred! And believe that the bereaved
family considered themselves especial
ly honored by my interest in the cere-
mony!
