THE BUSINESS BOOM HAS NOT
YET COME,

The advance in the price of wheat is
great blessing to our farmers, but the
danger is Il at it Is overestimated. We
have shown that the crop of wheat this
year is far short of the crop six years
ago, and the great cause of the rise in
price this year is the failure elsewhere.
Other crops of the farm are not ad-
vancing in price as wheat Is, although
there has been general rise in prices.
Some of the other crops fall short as
compared with last year 80 that the in.
crease in price will not add to the farm.
ers' income. 1t should be remembered
that rise in prices, caused by the mis-.
fortunes of people in other lands, is not
likely to continue.
This very advance in wheat will in.
duce an increase in the acreage for next
years crop. Dispatches from Argentine,
in South America, announce great in.
crease there, and their next harvest in
December and January may prove
abundant and will soon thereafter enter
into competition in European markets
The chances therefore are that even
next year the price of wheat may take
a tumble and drop lower than ever.
From all the data it does not look as
If our farmers would realize much over
the amount got last year. There is no
doubt, too, that our farmers have been
falling behind and their increase in in

old debts and will not much benefit

LICHTENWALTER REUNION.
Relatives Assemble at the Stark County
Fair Grounds and Enjoy
Social Session.

The ninth ANIMAL Lichtenwalter re-
union was held at the Stark County
Fair ground on Thursday, Sept. End.
The forenoon was spent in social greet
ing; A bouutiful dinner was prepared by
the ladies for the three hundred who
participated in the feast. Judging from
the loaded tables prosperity must have
struck the Lichtenwalters.
After dinner the meeting was called to
order; opend by prayer by Rev. Schmuck-
er, Music was furnished by the Essig
choir The historian l.. A. Stoner gave
a brief history of the family, saying a
great part of the history is speculative.
We should not dwell too much on the
virtues of our ancestors and neglect our
own. 1t is the desire that those who
were appointed last year to report his
tory of their family do SO soon that the
geneology of the family may be COM
pleted.
Mr.. Frank Braucher gave an address
on "The Past, Present and Future of the
Lichtenwalters" saying that Lichten-
walter of the first generation could not
understandingly talk with one of the
sixth generation on account of the
change of language from our ancestors.
The first Lichtenwalter landed in Phil
ladelphia, Pa. Aug. 18th, 1873. From a
list of 5000 names of German emigrants
that arrived at Philadelphia at this time

WASTED LIVES.

Some people use their energies in a
way that wastes the greater part of them.
Hurry, worry, irritation, vexation, de-
termination, and foolish anxiety keeps
them constantly wasting precious vitaii-
ty. This is foolishness, People do not
want irritation or stimulation. When
anyone is tired he wants rest, not
stimulants. When any ones energies
begin to flag recuperation, not irritation,
is wanted.
"All tired out" some people say, 81
need a imulant." A very mistaken
idea. No doubt such one is in need OF
invigoratiOn, reCuperation, but not
stimulants. Stimulants draw upon the
vigor which one already possess S; they
produce no vigor. When one is tired
out, nervous, weak and despondent,
Pe-ru-na is what is needed in the system
Pe.ru-na invigorates, reCuperates, builds
up, vitaliZes, enriChes, reinforCes. I'm
like so many other remedies, it does not
simply irritate and stimulate Peru ma
is an invigorator to nerve and blood.

THOSE CHECKS FROM DICK.

1t would be well for every voter
This truth to bear in mind
An honest politician is very hard to find;
They always greet you friendly,
And talk so nice and sleek;
Why, they even bought the Pops"
With checks that were signed by Dick.
1t was all for love Of Hanna
That Coxey should take the lead,
With the aid of the middle readers
The campaign committee would bleed.
But when they talk reform, it makes me very,
SICK
For they would sell their liberty
For check that's signed by Dick.
fear that Marcus Hanna
And the "Pops." will form trust,
And try to fool us Silverites
With little Klondike dust.
But we will fight the battle bravely,
And for silver we will stick,
And never will surrender
For check that's signed by Dick.
Another little party, perhaps, will join the
trust,
And help along poor Hanna.
With little yellow dust
They can swallow the Dingley tariff
And il never makes them sick.
But hardly think that they would try
TO get check from Dick.
Major Dick says he always does
What he thinks to be right,
And he will give away these little checks
To help along this fight,
SO all ye middle readers,
If for Hanna you will stick
You'll receive check for twenty-five,
And signed by Charley Dick
Beware of all false prophets,
Who preach the gold standard rule,
That whoever believes in double standard
Is nothing but a fool.
Let us uphold the Chicago platform,
If you want prosperity quick,
Vote and work for the silver men,
And accept no check from Dick.

q woman friend, let me advise the use
of Lydia e Pinkhams Vegetable
Compound.
If your case has progressed so that .
troublesome discharge Is already es-
tablished, do not delay, take the Veg
etable Compound at once, so as to tone
up your whole nervous system; you
can get 1t at any reliable drug store.
You ought also to use local applica-
ton, or else the corrosive discharge
will set up an inflammation and hard
ening of the parts. Mrs. Pinkham's
Sanative Wash is put up in packets at
25 cents each. To relieve this painful
condition this Sanative Wash is worth
its weight in gold.
Mrs. GEORGE w. SHEPARD, Watervliet,

I am cured from the worst form of fe-
male weakness. 1 was troubled very
much with leucorrhna, bearing-down

IS THE SILVER ISSUE DEAD.

In the News Dem ocrat few days ago
the above question was discussed, and
extracts from Senator Chandler's late
article in the Washington Post we're
given, showing that this able and lead.
ng Republican did not consider the
silver issue dead or settled.
Another significant point in our article
was referring to President McKinley's
silver commission in Europe, which was
still there, graphing with the question,
all showing that the issue was still open
and undecided.
These pititul gold organs are mere
echos of Hanna and the schemers who
make money the idol of their worship,
and recognize no power but that of ofmam-
mon. What care these men if the love
of money is the root of all evil, they
will, nevertheless, risk their individual
chance of salvation and the ruin of their
country.
But these men know they are falsify.
ing when they say the silver issue is
dead. This sort of cry is nothing new.
More than once have we heard the cry
that the Democratic party was dead. In
such cases the wish is father to the
thought, but they will continue the
yelp all the same.
The American people are yet in life
and realize yet the rascal crime of 1873
and the course of the sneaks and trait
ors since. All the prosperity announced
thus far has not blurred the recollection
of the hard times, suffering, bankruptcy
and ruin of the late past. The people
will not see salvation through the tribe
of Hanna. Salvation and safety will
not come through such evil Instruments.
In addition, the constitution of the
United States is yet a living monument
and declares that silver, as we'll as gold, =,
is tender in payment of debts. In
this instrument, the fundamental law of
the land, silver holds paramount twin
place, and cannot be displaced while
the American people are true to liberty
and the glory and grandeur of the past
This contemplate cry then that the
silver issue is dead is only the yelp of
hireling ours, or flows from ignorance
too thick to be penetrated by truth.

THE OLD ENTHUSIASM sOLILO-
GUY.

Today hear the eager crowd
Set up wild hurah
When Duffy knocks "scorcher' that
Is eaten" by McGmw;
The bleaChers rise and rend the air
When Joyce brings in the run
Oh, boys, enjoy your prestige now,
Your days will soon be done
1t seems but yesterday that Gore
Was forced to stop and bow
Responsive to the crowd 'srhuzzas,
But what's he doing now
And Deacon White, oh, how they cheered
When he stood at the plate
All, he is well forgotten now
That once was deemed so great
Ward, Kelly, Sunday, where are they?
And Jimmie Calvin, too?
Oh how the batters used to quake
When Jimmie hurled em through
And there were Corcoran and Keefe
And Silver Flint and Rowe
All, some of them must toll today,
And some are lying low
When Browning swung his wagon tongue
The pitchers were afraid
Like Selkirk, he was monarch of
The scenes that he surveyed;
But other stars have risen, so
Who cares for Browning now2
Perhaps he's saving wood somewhere,
Or following plOw
Oh, where are Denny, Mickey Welch,
Mccormick, Start, and Force,
And all the rest who used to make
Us cheer till we were hOarse?
Gone, gone All gone Their stars have set
1t is the worlds old way2
They, too, thought it would last, but who
Still worship them today
Again | hear the eager crowd
Cheer as ii used to cheer
When BrOuthers sauntered to the plate,
And Radbourne twirled the sphere
The bleachers rise and rend the air
Somebody made a run
Oh, boys, enjoy your prestige now,
Your days will soon be done

CRIPPLED FOR LIFE.
Distressing Injuries TO Mrs. Emma
Reifsnyder Which are Very
Grave in Their Nature.

Mrs Emma Reif5nyder, of No. 6O3
West Eighth street, met with serious
injuries last evening, which will leave
her a cripple for life, if not even more
disastrous in their effects. Mrs. Ref.
snyder had been calling at a neigh
boris home. Upon leaving the house
she tripped and fell down the steps
leading to the porch. The fall was d
distance of few feet, but the force
was sufficient to fracture her left thigh.
Her left arm was broken at the wrist
and the elbow of the left arm was
crushed into mass of splintered bone
The injured woman was carried to her
home and DR.. J. F. Marchand was
summoned. The physician remained
with the sufferer nearly all night, and
this morning she was conveyed to
Aultman hospital. Mrs. Reifsnyder is
over 90 years of age, which makes her
injuries all the more serious. She was
resting as comfortable as possible un.
der the circumstances.

MIR. HANNA DON'T DENY.

Neither Mr.. Hanna nor any of his
organs for him denies the statements Of
Col. Conger in his letter to Judge Grant,
of Akron.
The only offset thus far attempted is
personal abuse and calumny of CO..
Conger. We may take it then as an
admitted fact that Mr.. Hanna did
oppose Foraker's election in 1889: tina
he denounced Mr.. Foraker in the bitter
est terms, using profane language un.
worthy of gentleman. Is such a man
fit to be Mr.. Forsker's colleague in th e
senate of the United States? Is any
honest, straight Republican under moral
obligation to so vote as to place Hanna
in the senate?
Another point that honest Republi,
cans should not forget is that Mr.. Hanna
in denouncing Foraker to Col Congo,
gave no good or valid reason for oppos-
ing Foraker. The nearest he came to a
reason was in calling him "barnace''
as though that term did not apply to
others as well, and as though Mr.. For.
aker was not the choice of bis party.
The only reason we can imagine for
Hanna's hostility is that Foraker was
not his man; that he could not use For.
aker as piece of putty to serve and
obey Mr.. Hanna in all and singular.
The whole exposure shows Mr.. Hanna
the selfish tyranr, unworthy of respect
or confidence.
A few days Ego the following con,
temptible attack upon Col. Conger,
masked by an article purporting to
epitomize the political events of the
week, was sent out from Columbus to
every Hannaized paper in the state;
"The Democrats are exploiting a let.
ter from Col. A. l.. Conger, of Akron,
which in we'll man would be deemed
simply soreheadedness. But Col. Con.
gers physical condition is serious. He
is now at sanitarium in Missouri where
he has been for months. He is said to be
partially paralyzed. Republicans here
all view his letter as evidence that his
mental condition is affected by his bod.
lily in6rmities and attach no Importance
to his lucubration, but rather pity him
in his invalidism,"
OF course the above was sent out by
order, and it only shows the venom of
the beast, and the rule or ruin policy of
Hanna & Co. His ambition is un-
bounded, and the machinery of the
party must be used to crush all who dare
oppose him, even by telling the truth.
One would not suppose from either his
first or second letter that there was any.
thing wrong with Col, Conger. AT all
events there is no attempt to meet OF
even deny his statements, and so they
may be set down as true.
