Our baby has been continually
troubled with collie and cholera in

give more than temporary relief, un-

giving that remeny he has not been
troubled. We want to give you this

MORALLY wounded.

On last Sunday DIR. j. A. Hoffman
formerly of this city, now of Shep-
herdsviIle, Ky, was shot by J. j.
Rickerson with 4 shot gun and NOR
tally wounded. Attending physic-
isns say he can not recover. Bad
blood had excited for two years. The
difficulty arose over dog aud some
chickens. Rickerson's chickens had
been going to Hoffnap's stable where
they had been killed by the dog. The
dog had been poisoned by Kicker
son, but had recovered and was kept
stalled. On day of the shooting he
was turned loose. Rickerson threat
ened Hoffman, who hearing this,
armed himself They met both armed.
Rickerson fired frat.
Mr.. Hoffman is nephew of Geo.
w. Anderson of this county, who left
esterdsy to attend him. Roger Hoff-
man of this city is son of the
man.

1t was large audience that greeted

ing. Our fellow townsman, Edgar
Baum, being a member of the Com
pany, made it an event, Electrically,
of more than passing interest. Edgar
fully sustained the roles assigned him,
and we predict for him brilliant fu-
ture as an actor. He possesses all
the requisites necessary to be a sue
cessfnl one-of handsome and manly
presence, studious and endowed with
a musical and resonant voice, there is
no reason why he should not succeed
in his chosen calling. Miss Blair was
charming in the leading female roles,
and her leading man, Mr.. Bromwell,
is an actor of considerable talents:
The remainder of the company was
competent. Come again. =

A Good Beginning.

For long time we have thought
Mt. Sterling needed a number one
restaurant, where the public could
drop in at any hour and be fed. The
opening of the New Era Dining Par
Tors supply this want. When in
the larger cities we stop at restau-
rants and wonder how it is for 25c.
such an elegant meal can be served
What we find in the cities we now
have at the New Era Dining Psrlors,
South Maysville street.

City Council.

The regular meeting was held on
Tuesday evening, with all the mem
bers present.
All committees made their reports.
In settlement with Thos. WEIGH for
work on new streets, the committee
reported that he had been allowed
$l,042.S2.
The committee to so repair the fire
bell that it could be heard, reported
progress and were continued. More
than $40 had been expended.
The Howe Scale Co. had repre-
sentative before the Council. The
purchase of pair of city scales was
lett to the committee. City Attorney
White was added to the committee.
An ordinance was passed reducing
the license on scales from 500 to SIS.
Attorney White, who had been ap-
pointed to investigate the payment of
poll taxes, reported that every male
citizen of the town over 81 years of
age, except officials whose business
required them to come to town, should
pay the tax. This exemption should
not be allowed unless they paid poll
tax elsewhere.
Power was given the Improvement
Committee to close contract for rock
for the streets.
Twenty-Five dollars was refunded
to the Sun Life Insurance Company,
as they had recently paid a fee of $50,
since which time the license had been
reduced to $25.
Permits to build stables were grant
ed to w. W. Reed. James Stockdale,
w. r. Nunnelley and P. p, Bunch.
A fire alarm caused the Council
and visitors to go hustling, without
ceremony, from the chamber.
LATER.
The Improvement Committee has
closed deal with Maher s. Gallagher
for crossing stone at l0c. per surface
foot (the stone, Rowan county free
stone, being s inches thick). Their
bid was the lowest. Mr.. Tincher will
furnish stone from Spencer for street
repairs at $2.l9 per rod. This price
does not include the spreading.
The committee has closed deal
with the Howe Scale Co. for pair of
first-class scales, larger than the pres
emit scales. The city will give the old
scales, valued at $l65, and about 5000
in money for the new pair. There
will be some additional expense for
freight, timber and foundation. The
sends an expert mechanic to
place the scales.

REPUBLICANISM, THE TWO
METALS.

In the St. Louis convention the
Republican party pledged to bring
about the use Of the two metals
without favoritism. 1t is true the
party submitted to the dictation Of
foreign countries, the literal mean
ing of which is, we restore silver
to its former standing if the foreign
powers will let us, This in plain
English is the position of the
GREAT REPUBLICAN PARTY on the
most vital question to the people
of this country. England has said
to the Republican representatives,
eve don't want it and we will not
have it. " Mr.. Reed the bull of
the National Congress, with his
following went over to the pluto
Gratis, yielding nations posterity
to the domination Of John Bull. |
Are we not discussing this queS-
ton advisedly. We are; sure we
are, for the entire country except |
ing the National Democrats" are
united on this question. The Re-
publican party admits the two
metals as basal money advisable
when it says we will make it SO as
soon as we can, and the Demo
cratic party boldly demands the
of silver to its former
Hence it is plain that
the two parties stand pledged to
The people alike on the money
question and unless that pledge be
redeemed by the party in power
t forfeits the confidence of the
people. Did not the Republicans
gnore their promise when they
allied to support the Teller Bill?
have many times
oeen dashed into line, but when
natter of every day living con-
ronts them they are sure to rebel.
