1.-THE FEAR OF THE RING"

The Dobson paper tries to laugh
down the suggestion that there is such
a thing as a Court House Ring in
Summit county. Anybody who
assumes that such thing as a Ring
exists is either superstitious or a
dreamer.
AS no less parsonage than Mr..
Dobson himself claims the honor of
discovering the Courthouse Ring, and
as this same Mr.. Dobson gave it the
title which it bears today, the bald
assertion in his paper that there is
no Ring is too remarkable to pass un-
noticed.
On the morning following the elec-
tion in November, 1892, this Mr..
Dobson, in an article in his paper,
told Glow the Ring was Smashed" +"
He said:
"a political student (Dobson)
about six months ago carefully
studied the political history of Sum
NIT couuty-for the past five years
especially, and for the past So years
generally.

learning anything. The longer a
man is in the fighting game the more
he learns, that is, if he has any kind
of head at all, and I guess I've got
brains enough to know when good
advice is given me and how to profit
by it. If Jeffries has improved lot
of late, why so have 1, and that big
yellow-skinned chap will find out the
truth of what 1 say if he ever faces
me between the ropes"

MUCH WORRIED
Because of Accident to Her Husband
Is Mrs. WelIman.

Mrs. Walter Wellman, wife of the
newspaper man and explorer who is
now on his way home from an eXpe-
dition to the far north, is in Wash
ington for few days preparatory to
sailing next week for London, where
she will join her husband. Immedi-
ately on his arrival at Tromsoe, Mr..
Wellman sent cable message to his
wife stating that they had been sue
cessful in exploration, but were pre-
vented from reaching point further
north than other explorers by an ac-
cident, and that he himself was
slightly crippled. He added that he
would start at once for London, and
wished her to meet him there. No
particulars of the accident were
given, and Mrs. Wellman naturally
is much worried as to the extent of
the injuries of her husband.

A Mother Tells How She Saved Her Little
Dauuhters Life.

pduyHteF ) Lie
am the mother of eight children
and have had great deal of eXper-
ience with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had the dysentery
in its worst form. We thought she
would die. tried everything 1 could
think of, but nothing seemed to do
her any good. 1 saw by an adver-
tisement in our paper that Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was highly recommended
and sent and got bottle at once. 1t
proved to be one of the very best
medicines we ever had in the house.
1t saved my little daughters life. L
am anxious for every mother to know
what an excellent medicine it is.
Had known it at first it would have
saved me great deal of anxiety and
my little daughter much suffering.
