Martins Ferry, But It VIII Avail
the Democrats Nothing.
The Democrats over the river have
been moving about with alacity for a
day or two. 1t appears that something
landed in the towns of Martins Ferry
Bridgeport and Bellaire that put life
into the workers who had begun to feel
that the Mclean "bar'T' had been tap
ped only for the benefit of Cleveland
Columbus and Cincinnati. The only
effect of this will be to put renewed life
into the Republicans. The voters over
the river are not commercial commo-
dity. They know their business in
these times of prosperity and have
money of their own since they have
been given an abundance Of work. The
best informed men in Belmont county
say the Republican plurality Will not
be less than 1900 and some of them put
1t at $500.

IN FAVOR OF THE CENTAUR co.
Judge Adams Granted an Injunction
in the CastOria Case.


In the United States Circuit Court
Tuesday afternoon Judge Adams hand
ed down an opinion in the suit of the
Centaur Company, of New York City,
against Samuel W. Eslinger, of ST.
Louis, the suit being for an injunction
to restrain the defendant from using
the plaintiffs remedy, "Castoria."
1t was stated in compliments bill
that the Centaur Company, of which
Charles III. Fletcher is president, is the
Esole manufacturer of "Castoria," and
alleged that the defendant had been
selling medicine in packages closely re-
sembling those of the New York firm.
A preliminary injunction was prayed
for to restrain the defendants from in
any way pirating upon the complain
ants business. The bill averred that the
damages sustained were large, but
could not be estimated. The plea of the
defendant was that he had right to do
as he had done.
Evidence in the case was taken by af-
fdavits. Judge Adams, without leav-
ing the bench, delivered an opinion in
which he denounced imitators of we'll
known medicines. He said the practice
was a species of robbery and he would
grant the injunction sought.
4 The medicine "Castoria" was at first
protected by patent and later by label
and trade mark. The plaintiff claimed
that other decisions similar TO the one
handed down yesterday have been Sc
cured in the Federal courts, cases being
innumerable in Chicago. Indianapolis,
District of Columbia, Texas and New
Jersey. in all of which the courts grant
ed injunctions.
The attorneys in this suit were Sed-
don and Blair: of ST. Louis, and F. h.
Scott, of Chicago. for the complain
:, ants and Michael Kineally for the de-
PENDANT. The preliminary injunction is
understood to settle the point of law
involved, but the question of damages
~'will be adjudged when the case has its
final hearing.
The bottles of the original "Castoria''
manufactured by the Centaur Company
bear the facsimile signature of the pres
ident, Charles II. Fletcher, on the label,
while the bottles sold by the defendant
company bore on the label the words
Pitchers Baby Castoria." 1t is said
that criminal proceedings will follow,
and that several arrests may be made.

WHEN LOVE GROWS COLD.
There's No Sweet Whisper as of Old
No Longer Hear the Soft
my Dear

Mr.. Twitt McNoggett came home
from business in rather surly frame
of mind last Thursday evening.
He had been "bested" in monetary
transaction, bullied by man with
stronger lungs and fiercer temper than
his own, and compelled, for very
shame's sake, to relinquish his seat in
the car to an elderly woman with bun
dies.
So he was looking for a scapegoat
when he reached home, and his eye
lit up with CLEAN of satisfaction at
the sight of his wife.
Did Mcmillan call with that check 81
he growled
yes. my DEAR" responded his meek
spouse, as she took his hat and coat
ard brought him his slippers. "At
least, he didn't call. but he sent very
nice young man, who gave me this for
you. He was most particular to inquire
if you would get it this evening"
And she handed him a folded green
paper, with great deal of printing
upon its back.
He took it gingerly.
This isn't a check" he exclaimed.
Then he opened it, and fell upon the
sofa with a purpling face.
Its jury summons" he shouted,
as he rose up in his wrath; "a jury sum-
mons, which you-you, madam-took
in"
She shivered.
Il didn't know what it was" she
gasped. The young man didn't say.
He seemed so nice. 1 thought he was
from Mcmillan. You know you never
allow me to read anything of yours"
Thought he was from McMillani" he
roared. Don't you know check when
you see one? Haven't you got gump-
ton enough to last you from one meal
to another? Can't you recognize those
miserable, sniveling, sneaking hounds
of jury summons servers when you see
them? Do you know what this means
to me?"
why, Twitt, dear, thought all good
citizens had to serve occasionally either
in the militia or on the jury
You thought! Who cares what you
think? Who cares what any woman
thinks? They can't think Now,
through your stupidity 1 shall have to
give up my business for three or four
weeks to go to court. shall lose all
my trade; my clerks will rob me-
20, Twitt, don't!''
Il shan't earn money enough to pay
our expenses and we'll probably be
thrown out into the street; the foul air
of the courtroom viii give me fit of
sickness and my entire past will be
raked over by the newspapers"
And, leaving his wife in tears, he
went upstairs, inwardly congratulate
ing himself that he had pull with
one of the judges in general sessions.
