THE lNTELLTGENCER.
WHEELING, OCTOBER o, 1881.


An interview with Col. Morris Hork-
helmer, published this morning, in re-
gard to the refunding of the city debt in
accordance with the refundlng ordinance
adopted by the subcommittee, Of
which Col. Horkheimer is q member,
should be read by every citizen and tax
payer. It Is a simple statement of the
provisions of the ordinance and the pur-
pose of the rgfundlng plan, set forth in
Language so plain and comprehensive
that the humblest citizen can understand
It.
As the people will be called upon to
vote for the ordinance every voter should
post himself upon its provisions and its
purpose. The Intelligencer has secured
this comprehensive explanation for the
benefit OF those woh, either from lack OF
time, dlslnclnation, orinablllty TO com,
prehend the involved financial terms and
legal phraseology Of the ordinace, which
is very lengthy. will not read the bill.
Chairman Horkhemer shows the great
advantage of the refunding scheme and
the enormous saving it will be to the
city In the mere matter Of interest, which
is also shown by City Receiver Forgey
in calculation made by him The or
dinance does not increase the debt one
penny, but leaves It as It is, providing
an easy manner of paying and reducing
the interest.
A feature which Is fully explained is
the advantage the plan will be 70 THE city
in the way of providing for public i'm
provements which are needed in the near
future. Another is the purpose in max
ing the first series all 500 bonds, which
is to put them within reach OF the poorer
class Of people, thus providing a means
for the worklngman TO invest his savings
at per cent for period of ten years.
The 1ntelligeDcer trusts that the public
win thoroughly post itself on the provis-
ions of the ordinance with a view to vot-
ing intelllgently on It when it shall be
presented for public approval. There is
no political question involved In the mat
ter. 1t Is purely one involving the cIty's
best interests.

Mr.. H. Kuhn, of Marion, Kansas;
writes:
about three years ago my grand
daughter Bertha Wildwood, was
thrown from a horse, receiving a
wound of the scalp. Under the treat
ment of physicians the wound seemed
manned about the same, until it finally
became very angry looking, and broke
out into a running sore. This soon
spread to other parts of the scalp, and
ran down the side of the neck, in
creasing in severity, and fearfully
disfiguring her.
after being constantly under a
physician for a year, and her condi-
ton a great deal worse than at first,
we placed her under the care of the
faculty of a well-known hospital, but
even the treatment she received there
failed to arrest the terrible sore.
."Reading of the many cures of
blood troubles effected by S. S. S., we
decided to try it, and it relieved her
promptly. AT first this remedy seemed
to increase the discharge, forcing out
the poison; this soon ceased altogether,
and the place began to heal. In a
few months she was entirely cured,
and scarcely a mark now remains
where the disease held full sway"
S. =. S. is the right remedy for all
blood diseases, and is the only cure
for Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula,
Eczema, Cancer, Rheumatism, Ca
tarrh, etc., no matter how deep-seated
the case. S. S. S. is guaranteed

Prevailing STYLES.

The October Delineator says:
Plaits and coat laps are details of all
coats save the covert.
Coats are worn somewhat longer.
Capes, on the contrary, are growing
shorter.
Single bust darts in a three-quar-
ter length coat render the fronts al
most as close-fitting as the back.
A novel feature of covert coat is
tabs, produced at the back by the
discontinuance of the seams some
distance above the edge.
The Lafayette and Medici collars,
both of which are enlisted in the
service Of top garments, have many
points in common.
Tabs appear at the bottom of a
dOuble-breasted Elton jacket and
likewise in the collar.
Bell sleeves supplement coat
sleeves in another newly designed
Elton jacket.
The curves of the figure are per-
fectly defined in a tight fitting coat
topped by Lafayette collar.
The double-breasted fronts in an
up-to-date coat are capable of a
straight or a diagonal closing.
A gored yoke with collar extern
sion supports a jauuty, rippled col
larette.
A many-pointed fancy collar with
stOle-like ends flares over short
cape with boX-plaits rolled at the
back.
In stylish wrap, a smooth back
and fronts are framed by rather full,
ripping sides.
a double boX-plait at the back of
a cape, long tab fronts and fanciful
collars combine to produce a pleas
ing result.
Even the shirt-waist has devel-
Oped blouse characteristics. One
such waist, while having the con-
ventional yoke back, has IA dropping
trout with notched revers and IA
shield or vest showing a boX-plait
over the closing.
The Alexis shirt waist blouses all
round and retains the yoke at the
back.
TIE Russian shirt-waist has yoke
back; the front, however, besides
being pointed is closed at the left
side.
In Paulovna blouse, one OF the
tucked type, interest centers in the
sleeves, which besides being tucked,
have unique puffs draped in jabots
in front.
Belted blouse bodices with low,
square necks are developed for even
lug wear One such bodice has three
qua ter length mousquetaire sleeves
with frills. A trio Of frills forms the
sleeves Of another square-necked
evening blouse, OF which an invisi-
BILE closing at the left shoulder and
under the arm is also an admirable
point.
Epaulettes decorate most sleeves,
and they are frilled, battlemented
or scolloped to accord with some
other accessory belonging to the
bodice.

Many lives would be sayed an
nually if mothers understood that
when a child has membranous Group
he has disease that can be COM
municated to others through the
bacteria that swarm in the mem
brane, and which microscopical eX-
animation has shown to be the same
as is made manifest in diphtheria.
The sick child should be kept in a
room by itself, away from the 9TH
ers. 1t does not initiate against
the statement that there have been,
time and again, large families of
children where no such precautiol
were taken, and the disease attacked
one only of the children. The dead
ly micrObe of diphtheria does not
attack a perfectly well person. A
child whose food has not assimila-
ted as it should for a few days, or
who has played so violently as to
greatly overhead its blood, or who,
through lack of sufficient clothing
has been chilled, as we say, Ito the
bone, >" isa hopeful candidate for an
attack, because the perfect health
