Henry County Sugar Growers
Society.

The objects are to develop the
American sugar industry, so that the
American market may be supplied
with sugar made from cane and beets
grown in this country.
Nearly all the states in the can Q
and sugar beet belt are becoming in
terested in this work.
There is no partisanship in this
sugar proposition. This locality
should take hold of this work with
many other localities that are already
organizing and in q systematic and
businesslike line of work we should
make an earnest effort to obtain
legislation that will guarantee the in
dustry fair show against foreign
competition.
OF course it will be necessary to
carry on some experimental work be-
fore the farmers will know what they
can offer in the way of attracting q
factory. but according to many reports
of experiments we are far ahead of the
German beets in saccharine matter
although some do not agree with this
1t will cost but very little to orga-
nize and give it trial. SEC'Y.

Pay Your Hard Cider Tax.

Attorney General Monnett has
given an opinion as to the liability
OF cider being subject to the Dow
tax that will be OF interest to parties
having cider for sale. The legisla-
ture passed law last winter making
cider in certain cases liable to the
Dow tax. The question involved
then is briefly in what stage is the
cider subject to the tax, and the
manner Of determining it. The at
torney general draws a distinction
between sweet and hard cider, hold
ing that the former is exempt from,
and the latter subject to, the tax.
The substance of his opinion is that
if the cider has reached a stage where
it is intoxicating, and is then sold in
less than one gallon lots, the seller
should be required to pay the tax.

A New Game.

It's reported that a new game for
church socials has been evolved by a
young lady who believes in 16 to one.
Each girl at the party takes basket
we'll filed with the delicacies of the
season and covers it with white or
yellow cloth, to suit political pref
erence. The young man selects his
basket according to his views on the
financial question, as argued during
the recent campaign and then pays
at the rate of l cent per pound for
the owner. The baskets are placed
in an adjoining room, and the pur-
chaser does not know whether he is
getting a fat or lean girl. Each pur-
chaser has the chance of weighing
his prize on the scales, and the free
silver man is allowed to kiss his girl
sixteen times to the gold standard
mans one.

Powers of a Coroner.

Heretofore the office of coroner has
been purely local one, like that OF
the assessor and tax collector. Now,
however, Attorney General M onnett,
of the State of Ohio, declares official
ly, as a result of his legal investiga-
tions, that q GQunty coroner can h6ld
inquests in any part of the State OF
Ohio. ii
~ lafs-tfEcision rendered few DAYS
ago at Columbus, elevated the cor
oneF's office from local and county
affair to almost the dignity of q State
office. The question of coroner's
powers was decided at the request of
a coroner named Herbst. Recently
Columbus physician, DR.. e. j. Will
son, called upon Coroner Herbst and
asked him if he had authority to go
out OF the county to make an inquest.
DR.. Wilson is an examiner for a
New York life insurance company.
The company had reason to believe
that a man who died in Columbus
recently and who carried a large
amount of insurance on his life had
committed suicide in order that his
family might have the benefit of his
policies he had taken out when he
was in good circumstances financial
ly. He had a large and expensive
family, the doctor said, and one ac-
customed to the luxuries of life. In his
Strengthened circumstances the sup
posed suicide was not able to provide
for them as he wished and therefore
sacrificed himself to help them.
Coroner Herbst did not know
whether he had the authority to go
out of the county to hold an inquest,
though the man had died in his
county.
The matter was referred to At
torney General Monnett, who at
once said that the coroner had pow
er to go anywhere in the State. Col
umbus, the home of Coroner Herbst,
being in Franklin county and the
suicide having been buried in Far
field county, necessitated O. journey
for the Columbus coroner, who goes
outside his own territory for the
first time to hold a legal inquest.

South Side Fire.

About one o'clock Thursday morn
ing the building on the South side Of
the river occupied by VIM. Ferman
as dwelling and harness shop was
discovered in flames. An alarm was
turned in and the department re-
sponded quickly but too late to save
anything. The fire started from a
defective flue and gained a good
headway before being discovered =
Mr.. Ferman did not save anything
and he and his wife barely succeeded
in getting out without being burned.
The building was owned by M. Refs
er, Sr., and Jacob Brown. 1t was
valued at 5000 with 5000 insurance
There was no Insurance on contents.

Big Damage Suit.

Monday morning there was filed
with County Clerk Brown suit for
$25, 900 damages, brought by Dietrich
Josie, a minor, by his next friend w.
A. Hanna, against Fred Greenhagen.
The suit is filed as an amended pc
tition to the one filed some time ago
wherein the plaintiff wanted $40, 900.
Since then, however, Josie has lost
his right leg by amputation, through
injuries received from Greenhagen,
hence the increase in the amount oil
damages asked for.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition OF the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
the tube gets infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
