Hoods Sarsaparilla. y 81 NO

Merit in medicine means the power to
cure. Hoods sarsaparilla possesses actual
and unequalled curative power and there
fore it has true merit. When you buy
Hoods Sarsaparilla, and take it according
to directions, to purify your blood, or
cure any of the many blood diseases, you
are morally certain to receive benefit.
The power to cure is there. You are not
trying an experiment. 1t will make your
blood pure, rich and nourishing, and thus
drive out the germs of disease, strengthen
the nerves and build up the wholesystem.

y Packed Audience at the Auditorium
Sunday Evening.
A solid mass of men, filling the Audi
torium from pit to gallery, greeted
Rev. Mr.. j. $. Bitter Sunday evening
He at once put himself en-rapport with
his audience and was heard with deep
interest He tore the mask from secret
sin. He read Solomon's description of
the strange woman, whose steps take
hold on hell, and how men in the
darkness were lured to death. He
said some say the Bible is not up to
date, but this description of the fallen
woman and her victims could not be
more modern if it appeared in "tomor-
rows Enquirer. He spoke of the aw-
full ravages OF secret sins. How else
could it be with the environment?
Here were men to tell obscene stories
to boys leading them to secret vice.
Obscene pictures are Haunted from
every corner of the streets. These vile
pictures are an insult to the woman
hood OF this city. THE harlot well
coined them for she knew it meant
more silly victims for her" He said
the sinner is coward, else why does
he steal through the alleys in the dark
est night? Rev. Bitler must be heard
to be appreciated. The audience arose
en- masse to endorse his powerful ad-
dress. a number pledged themselves
TO new life. Revs. Mr.. Roe, Moss
Coil and Crooks We're present and
assisted. G. A. M. L.

Damage Done Dy thc L ood at Mid die
town Gre.tcr Than First Supposed.
MlDDLETowN, O., March $ AS the
water gradually rccedes the damage
done by the food is greater than first
supposed. The hydraulic company
sustains Il loss OF S., 90, while the dam
age done TO property in Lakeside and
on Clark street will amount to at least
$1,000. Sunday at . a. III. the water
began TO fall, and by noon it had re.
ceded nearly live feet Residents of
Fifth street, who were inundated, have
moved back, thankful that they cs-
capped with their lives.
When the late rise occurred Satur
day night the water rushed into the
cellars along Main street, aud much
damage was done at the Sorg opera
house. The damage done to the canal
banks between the dam and this city
will entail great loss to the state,
and navigation will be suspended until
the towpath is repaired.
1t will cost the state several thou
sand dollars to repair the break in the
levcc at the state dam, and it may be
that the dam will have TO be rebuilt.

young men The trio will
be vigorously prosecuted rs will also IL
number o. bystandsrs who refused to
render assistance in making the ar
rests.

ATHENS, o., March 5.-Following the
regular chapel exercises this morning,
the house resolved itself into mass as
semblage and elected Mr.. E. j. Jones
as chairman. Prof. Eli Dunkle was

versity's behalf. The major read reso-
lutions to that effect, whicn also pledg-

bic. The speeches were happy and
well selected. The gentlemen seemed
to speak from hearts full of gratitude
and good will to these gentlemen en-

The Cambridge Sun says Of what is
thought to be promising oil territory
ia Liberty township Guernsey county:
The territory has Of late been viewed
by Pennsylvania oil spectators, and
they are Of the opinion that an oil pool
exists in that neighDorhood. or late
the plugged well has become active,
and the confined gas has worked its
way to the surface, together with a
large quantity of oil of an excellent
grade. Expert oil men who have ex-
amined this test well are of the belief
that 1t is good one, and if opened up
and properly operated should produce
from twenty to fifty barrels per day.

ARRESTED FOR FORGERY.
Wnverly. w. Va, Man Lodged in Jail on
n Serious Charge.

Serious Charge.
Monday afternoon a man named c.
Lutes, teamster at Waverly, w. Va,
stepped into the First National Banl,
and presented two checks, one on w.
IL. Taylor and the other on s. p.
Haines, both OF Waverly. The checks,
amounting to over 800, were cashed,
but upon close examination of the sig
natures the bank officials became suspi-
cious Mr.. Taylor happened to be in
the city and when shown the check in
his name Immediately pronounced it a
forgery. The police were notified at
ohce and after short search Lutes
was found and placed under arrest.
His actions, when taken into custody,
were dead give away and the case
against him looks like IL clear one.
The warrant for his arrest was sworn
out before Mayor Meisenhelder by
Cashier George Best. The prisoner is
n middle-aged man and practically a
stranger in Marietta.
Lutes was taken before Mayor Meis-
Monday evening and his hear
ing was set for Thursday afternoon at
two o'clock. His bond was fixed at
81, COO, which he could not give, and
was committed to the county jail.
1t is not improbable that the First
National will find upon investigation
that other checks cashed for Lutes are
also forgeries.

Just as President Mckinley was
seated on the inaugural stand in front
of the capitol Thursday afternoon and
gazed upon the shouting multitude be-
fore him, two white doves flew out
from the dome of the great building
and circling over the head of the new
President scared into the air and flew
off toward the White House. 1t was
an omen of good fortune, which was
noticed by everyone on the stand, for
it seemed as if peace and prosperity in
the form of dove had come forth
phoeniX-lilIe from the capitol, released
by the death Of the Democratic admin
istration and like the doYe from the
ark had gone for h into the world TO
declare that gloom and depression,
which had covered the United States
Tor the four years, was disappearing,
and that Sunshine and prosperity was
to take It's place.
