Was Thursday an Omen of Good {!

Was it an omen, that interlude of
sunshine and balmy air on Thursday?
Did it burst through the clouds-the
same gloom that preceded it on
Wednesday and followed it on Fri
day-as a promise of good things to
come, happy and brilliant aus
pice of the future? Let us hope so.
We have had enough Of clouds and
gloom. The prospect of clear skies
and fragrant breezes will come to US
with life and hope and courage on its
wings.
Surely no President has ever been
inaugurated under more pleasant
and encouraging conditions. The
day was perfect. The atmosphere
exhilarating, not even q white scud
of fleecy vapor obscured the central
blue. The weather seemed to have
been arranged for the occasion. The
sun shed full strength upon the gilt
tering pageant as it passed, height
ening even the splendor of the Gov
ernor of Ohio, the observed of all OBJ
servors, and the recipient Of the most
deafenlng reclamation. 1t was
day of smiles, of resuscitated hopes,
of waking courage, and of general
congratulations. Surely that day
must have been stolen from the bud
ding spring, and set like a jewel in
the gray front of March to hint to us
of better times and fairer consumma-
lions waiting further on.
Again, let us hope SO. Certainly
the situation is thronged with happy
possibilities. We have a President
with definite and a practicable
scheme of financial and commercial
rehabilitation. We have Congress
disposed to sustain him in the reali
zation thereof. Public sentiment
will tolerate no peevish and capri
cious partisan obstruction in any
event, but we do not believe that
such obstruction is contemplated.
| The country has had enough OF bust
ness depression, of national insol
vency, OF Treasury balances created
by the poor expedient OF borrowing.
We want a tariff which will produce
revenue, a system of paying our ex-
penses out of our legitimate re-
sources, an end to bond sales and to
Wall street revolutions which dis
quiet and alarm the bondholders and
} paralyze the processes of industry
and advancement. Mr.. Mckinley
has it in his power, we think, to
make good last Thursdays brilliant
harbinger. Mr. Mckinley, we both
believe and hope, will make sRillful
and victorious employment of his OPP

of exercise, with the result that, it is
said. here cleverness was recognized
before she left France.
Since coming to America, Mile de

Output of Nearly 100000 Pounds
of Binding Irvine for the Season.

Output of Nearly 100000 Pounds
of Binding Irvine for the Season.
That the state prison binder Irvine
factory is no longer an infant indus
try, but has assumed large proper
tions, is demonstrated by the large
output for this season, which aggre-
gated no less than 3,5S9,077 pounds.
The seasons business was the largest
in the history of the factory, the state
having found q ready market for every
pound of Irvine that could be manufac-
tured there. In fact, the output was
far below the demand, orders for
many cars having been refused be-
cause of the factory's inability to pro-
duce a greater amount of Irvine, al
though the inmates worked from ten
to thirteen hours a day during the
busy season. The seasons sales
amounted to $2O2557.21 of which
amount $901S.33 was for small cash
sales. Warden Wolfer said yesterday
that the factory has q large amount
of stock on hand and will now manu-
facture for next seasons use.

FOR THE BABY.
A Valuable Hint to Every Father
and Mother.

n valuable Hint to Every Father
and Mother.
There are two kinds of babies in the
world; the kind who have too little
nourishment and the kind who have
too much.
The first kind of babies starve be-
cause their stomachs are too weak to
digest the amount of food Necessary
for their growth and healthful de-
Velopment and the other kind are over
fed with the result that the delicate
stomach and inteStineS are inflamed,
and as every mother knows. thousands
of infants die yearly when warm
weather begins, from stomach and
bowel disorders.
tics, however mild, are not what is
demanded. Go to the root of the
trouble. assist the child's digestion,
give the little stomach the aid neces-
sary to thoroughly and promptly d.
gest it's food and the little one will
thrive and grow and gladden. the
mothers heart. t-ia95
To give perfect digestion to the
child it is only necessary to give in
pleasant form the harmless digestives
contained in the we'll known tablets
sold in drug stores under the name of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Stuart's
Tablets contain no so called drugs,
aseptic, fruit acids, starch digestives
and are put up in lozenge form, with
sugar of milk, very pleasant to the
taste and have been used for years
as the safest, best remedy for any
form OF indigestion and stomach
troubles in adults, but recently many
remarkable cures have been made in
the cases of weakly babies who failed
to grow and thrive as they should.
A Buffalo mother short time ago
who despaired of the life of her babe
was so delighted with the results from
giving the child these tablets that she
went before the notary public of Erie
county, ". Y, and made the following
affidavit:
Gentlemen-Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets were recommended to me for my
two months old baby. which was sick
and puny and the doctors said was
suffering from indigestion. 1 took the
child to the hospital, but there found
no relief. A friend mentioned the
Stuart Tablets and L procured a box
from my druggists and used only the
large sweet loZengeS in the box and
was delighted to find they were just
the thing for my baby.
feel justified in saying that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets saved my child's
life. Mrs. w. T. Dethloff

this 18th day Of April, 1897.
Henry Karis,
Notary Public in and for Erie County,
N Y.
For babies, no matter how young or
delicate, the tablets will accomplish
wonders in increasing flesh appetite
and growth. Use only the large sweet
tablets in every box. Full sized boxes
are sold by all druggists for so cents,
and no parent should neglect the use
of this safe remedy for all stomach
and bowel troubles if the child is all
ing in any way regarding it's food or
assimilation.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets has been
known for years as the best prepare.
ton for all stomach troubles whether
in adults or infants.
