SQUIRE HART'S VIEWS.
Some Opinions and Advice from a
Competent Authority.

Like every City and town in our Re-
pubic, Marietta furnishes its share of
veterans who fought for Old Glory
during the late unpleasantne IS and
VINO despite their ydlor when facing
foe on the field found themselves
waging war on a concealed enemy ever
since, and perfectly powerless and un-
able TO dislodge it from it's position.
How to effect disiodgeme is clearly
given in the statement that follows
made by Squire M. II. Hart whose of.
hce we need scarcely remind our read
ers, is just opposite the depot. Our
citizens have now the unavoida BILE
! question to answer, whose opinion can
depend upon the more, a representa-
tive resident of Marietta or some news
paper statement made by some one
lying hundreds of miles away ho
say remedy so-and-so cured him? Read
this and then quietly and cody answer
the question mentally. The Squire
says" Since | was in the army,
member of Reg. l4S, Co. X, Ohio, !
never had the health | had before |
Enlisted. My kidneys were affected
and at times ! have been everything
but well man, some of the symptoms
showing plainly that my kidneys were
not right; such as dull pains in the
loins, The back firing out and irregu-
larity at times in the secretions of the
kidneys, aggravated pain when
caught cold. ! got a box of Doan's

the kidneys and has no bad effect on
the system while using it, and it does

Wet or Dry, Which?

There is going to be hot old time in
Belpre on the 7th of next month when
the township will vote on the question
of license or no license. On a petition
who has been running a speak easy
near the point for some years, the
county commissioners have issued an
order granting the trial and vote, and
the people are all stirred up over it,
Friends of both parties are already
claiming the victory, but the anti-li
cense people believe that they will tri'
umph, as they have in every similar
election heretofore. e.-Parkersburg Sen

VIII Test for Oil.

We are glad to know that those hav.
ing in hand the matter of raising funds
to test the oil territory in this locality
are meeting with substantial encour-
agement. Our people realize that it is
through an enterprise of this kind that
their interests can be promoted. If a
few more of our leading citizens come
to the rescue the experiment will at
once be made, with every indication of
good paying investment Weston

stagnation in the Oil Fields.

A trip through the Hendershot and
CORVALLIS fields at present will give
an observer good example of what a
low market will do. From a promi-
nent operator in the latter field it is
learned that there is not rig building
in that field, whereas there were d
dozen or more in course of construction
at this time last month. OF course a
dry hole or two has had onething to
do with it, but the blame for a bulk of
the dropping off in work can be ac-
credited to the low market. In Hen
dershot two rigs are building. one by
Henry M. Ernest, on the Eshenbaker
farm, and one by Porter & Co., on the
Elliot farm. This is quieter condition
than has existed there since the field
was first opened up in August, 1885,

Frank Devors Case Finds Favor in Gov
ernor Bushnelrs Eyes.
On Saturday Governor Bushnell
granted to Frank Devol the much COW
eted pardon, which sets the young
man free, and allows him to return to
his family.
Frank was sent up for one year for
shooting with intent to wound. His
punishment was meted out to his to a
sufficient degree in the county Jail
where he was confined several months,
long enough to allow him to think aud
see the error of his way.
Through the efforts of his attorney,
Mr.. Way, and a large NUN Der Of irienus'
who felt that his punishment had
been sufficient and who appreciated
the need of his being here caring for
his family, his pardon was secured. IT
has a condition attached which requires
him to abstain from drink for three
years.

Tho Switzerland Of America and the
Sanitarium Of the World.

In speaking Of the proposition to ask
Mr., g. NJ. Hobbs to deliver course OF
illustrated lectures in the east on the
scenic and climatic q Advantages Of Colo
RADIO the Denver Newo says:
"Many millions of dollars are annually
expended by American travellers III Eu-
rope, which would be kept at home il the
people Of the east knew the beauties OF
the western portion Of their own country.
There is nothing in Switzerland that can
not be excelled hera The most magnifi-
cent mountains, the most beautiful lakes,
and the most delightful valleys in the
world are to be found in tho Rocky
mountains. In truth we believe that
four.fifths OF the residents Of Colorado do
not begin to realize what nature has
placed at their doors, and such being the
case it is hardly to be expected that the
people Of other states should understand
Il. A tour of the principal cities by Mr..
Hobbs would result in the turning hither
Of tide Of travel increasing each year,
as returned travellers would inform their
friends of what they had seen. The prop
osition deserves the fullest appreciation
and support. It is happily one Of those
things in which nll can uuite."

Beware of Petldlers.

After all that has been said about
peddlers it seems superfuous to warn
our readers against purchasing things OF
strangers, but we have heard OF numer-
ous cases recently which prompts us to
advise farmers and all others to think
and study the matter well before putting
their signatures to any contract or note
for anything offered by stranger.
Strangers are now abroad in the land
selling plows, ranges, cloth piece goods,
lightning rods, etc., and unless uncom-
mon care is exercised there will be some
squeezing when it comes to paying the
notes for which such stuff is sold. Be-
fore being talked into signing note for
a stranger, investigate the matter and
see il the same things can not be bought
cheaper and in many cases better OF some
home dealer who is responsible ard will
be here to make things good in case the
goods are not as represented. These
peddlers are here only for day, and
they will be of and gone in jitfy and
your note will turn up in some bank and
will have to be paid promptly when due.
These transient fellows do not patronize
you-do not remain to buy any OF your
future prodncts-lik our home mer-
chants and their clerks do, and besides
they pay no taxes to assist in paying the
expenses Of our country, our schools, etc.
Think of these things, and above all
things remember to sign no papers for a
stranger.

-Goyernor Adams RECENTLY issued

Governor Adams recently issued a
quarantine proclamation against the i'm
portation or transit Of sheep to or through
Colorado from any OF the following
states: Washington, Oregon, Montana,
Idaho, Wyoming, California, Nevada,
Utah, Texas, and the territories of Ari-
zona, New Mexico and Oklahoma. Also
the republic Of Old Mexico. Danger
from the disease called 'scab" is the
reason assigned.
An exchange says, "every paper in
the state should publish the fact that
burnt corn on the cob is good for hog
cholera. It was first discovered by burn
ing pile Of corn belonging to distil-
lery. 1t was thrown to, the hogs and the
disease Immediately disappeared. 1t is
so simple remedy that il can easily be
tried" OF course, charcoal is good for
hogs and for almost everything and it
ought to be fed freely to any thing that
will eat it. That is all there is to the
burnt corn theory.

The Sheep Market.

The following letter from Clay, Robin
son & Co. Of Kansas City is encouraging
to sheep feeders: The supply Of sheep
for the week was q, 900 against 4s. 700
week ago. The heavy decrease in re-
ceipts has had good effect upon the
market, and while prices are but little
higher than the previous weeks bad
close, there hns been much rnOre life to
the trade and the week closes with q good
healthy tone to the market. We do not
look for excessive receipts during the
coming week but look for an active
market with some improvement in prices.
The month Of April was record-smash-
or in receipts at this market for one day.
one week, and one month. The supply
for the month was 1876, 800 against $4,000
in April, 1896, the previous one months
greatest receipts. During the month
values were $1.OO to 81 .25 per cwt. high
er than one year ago and most Of the
sales were made above S4.25 per cwt. for
the first 20 days, but the enormous sup
plies caused heavy decline in the past
ten dnys and values are 40 to 5Oc lower
than the high time during the month.
The bulk of fed lambs nre now selling
from $4.75 to $500; top, e5.35. Grass
lambs went largely at $3.50 to "a. %.
Fed sheep sold mostly ut S3.75 to 81: 90,
with the bulk OF grass Texas and Arizo-
mas going at $3.50 to $3.50. The demand
for stockers and feeders is limited and
this class OF stock is selling at very low
figures, mostly $2.75 to $500.
