The Finest Yet.

The Marietta Transfer Co. has built
for use in this city an elegant wagon
for hauling the mails between the
postoffice and trains. Speer Bros. who
are conducting the business where j.
60. Kelly was formerly located, built
the wagon, which is an elegant cover
ed vehicle for one horse and bears the
monogram "U. S. M. on each side in
pure gold leaf letters and also the
words Omitted States Mail" on each
side in the same material. The wag-
on is one of the handsomest yet seen
lere and is a credit to the manufactur-
ers as we'll as to the enterprise of the
Transfer company who WI use it,
Incidentally we may be allowed to re-
marx that Marietta has been gaining
quite a reputation for fine vehicles in
the past few years and. no city of the
size anywhere can boast of SO many
strictly first-class vehicles as she.

Editor Bob Smith Goes Skating.

Skating is one of the favorite sports
of the editor of The Dispatch, but when
baths are combined the pleasure is not
SO complete. While gliding over the
ice last Saturday, about three miles
above town, we suddenly felt a sinking
of the ice and then the chilly waters of
the Muskingum gurgling around us.
With some difficulty we managed to
crawl upon the ice, soaking wet to
our ann pits. The pleasure of that
skate to town is one of the indescrib-
able things; something that is not to
be forgotten. Our appearance and
feeling was something like the print
er's towel, so stiff that if we had fall
len our friends would still have been
searching for the pieces.

LAUNCHING THE LIHr.BOAT.

There are greater dangers than those of
the angry sea. That dread disease-con-
sumption, kills more men and women in a
generation than the sea has swallowed up
since the earliest history of navigation.
There is sure and safe life-boat ever
ready to be launched for men and women
who suffer from this nerciless destroyer.
1t is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov-
cry 1t cures % per cent. of all cases OF
consumption, bronchitis, asthma, laryn-
gifts, weak lungs, splitting of blood and
throat and nasal troubles. 1t acts directly
on the lungs driving out all impurities and
disease germs. It soothes and heals the
mucous membranes of the lungs, bronchial
tubes, throat and nasal cavities. 1t restores
the lost appetite, makes digestion and as
similation perfect invigorates the liver,
and purifies and enriches the blood. 1t
fills the blood with the life-giving elements
of the food that build new and healthy
tissues. II tears down, carries off and
excretes the diseased and half dead tissues
upon (which the germs of consumption
thrive. It checka the cough and facilitates
expectoratipn until the lungs are thor
oughly cleared. It is the great blood
maker and flesh builder. Unlike cod liver
oil, it does not build Aabby A4sh, but the
firm, Muscular tissues of health II does

Thousands have testified to their cure
under this great medicine after they were
given up by the doctors, and all hope was
gone. An honest dealer will not suggest
some inferior substitute for the sake of q
little extra selfish profit.

Philadelphia, Dec. 1.-The will OF
the late John W. Kelley, the inventor,
was admitted to probate yesterday. 1t

a value of about $4,000, to the widow
and also appoints her executrix. No
reference is made In the will to
the mysterious motor upon which
Kelley has been working for SO
many years. The absence Of mention
of the motor in the will was disap-
pointment to the stockholders of the
Kelley Motor company. They must
now await the pleasure Of Mrs. Kelley
for an explanation Of the motor, there
being generally entertained belief

BETROTHED IN SOUTH AFRICA Joseph Clement Will Soon Wed Miss
 w eber. Romance of OaklanderS That Has Turned Out Very
 Happily. Years Ago the Groom Elect Ran Away and Has Now Won
 Fortune.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

sos Broadway, March IS.
 The announcement to-day of the en- gagement of Joseph Clement to Miss Weber, both of whom are now in South Afirca marks the termination of very interesting romance that Is of great inter est in this city, where the young couple have resided nearly all their lives.
 About four years ago great surprise was expressed when Joe Clement disappeared. He told none of his family where he was going or that he was going at all, and for a short time it was feared he had met with foul play. He was one of the most popular young men in town, and his pros poets were good, as his family is quite ent, who is well known figure in San Francisco society.
 Not long after his disappearance it was discovered that for some unaccountable reason young Clement had decided to go out into the world and carve out his own fortune; He shipped before the mas and roughed it on a voyage to England around the Horn. An attempt was made to head him off in England and induce him to return to Oakland, but he re- refused to reconsider and went to South Africa, where he had an uncle, Mir. Will Hams.
 Joseph had started to learn the busi- ness of an electrician, and after arriving in South Africa he at once went to work. In that distant land he found MT. Weber of this city, and who is one of the leading capitalists of Johannesburg. Joe made rapid headway and is now chief engineer of a large electrical plant at the Boer capital Some time ago Miss Weber who was one of the most hand some girls of this city, joined her father, and now the news has been made public of her engagement to MT. Clement.

the announced hour, and once it was started there were no unnecessary de- lays.
 The exhibition opened with three friendly three-round bouts between Jimmy and Billy Lawler, Ed Henessy and Billy Bishop. Dick O'Meara of the Olympic Club and A. Mccarthy of the Jefferson Athletic Club. Dan Kemp followed in the Mobile buck dance, while M. s. Meyers and Ed Staley of the Western Addition Athletic Club were preparing for four-round go. At the end of the first round Staley slipped and so badly injured his left leg that he had to be assisted out of the ring. James and Ed Mccormick of the Jef- ferson Club spared three rounds, and were followed by R. B. Cornell and E.. Dahl of the Western Addition Club.
 Then came four round bout for decision between H. B. Hilton and William Cook. Towards the end of the fourth round Hilton was so badly dazed that another blow would have put him out. w. H. Forrest, who acted as ref cree. stopped the contest and gave Cook, who was fully twenty pounds lighter than his adversary, the decision.
 A four round bout between Andrew Buzziri and J. Jeske was declared a draw by F. Berzott, who acted as ref cree. The decision brought forth storm of misses, many believing that Jeske should have been given the de- cision.
 The event of the evening was an eight round contest for trophy, be- tween James Riley of the Excelsior Club, and Charles Conway of the Jef- ferson Club It was a spirited contest from the beginning.
 Conway started Riley's nose and mouth bleeding in the second round and thereafter took delight in landing his left continually on the sore spot. Riley, although half choked by the blood that ran down his throat, fought gamely and at the end of the eighth round looked strong enough to go eight rounds more. Billy Kenealy, who acted as referee. decided the contest a draw.
 Joseph Hansen and Kelly and Mar lowe contributed several songs that were we'll received.
 The officers of the club are: Presi- dent, J. J. Silvey; vice president w. T Burke; financial secretary. John Mo Guire; recording secretary, J. H. Kelly; captain, A. Magnus: sergeant at arms, John Mccormack; directors, T. Wilson J. F. Brennan, T. Riordan. H. B Hil- ton, A. l.. Eisner, H. I. Mulcreavy.
 Riley complained of considerable pain in his left forearm after leaving the ring and acting on the advice of his
