congressman Addresses Large Davis
County Audience.
Bloomfield, Oct. ao.-(Special.) -Hon
John +. Lacey addressed large audi
ence at the court house Saturday ev.
ening. He was introduced to the audi.
ence by Hon. w. II. McAchran. who
spoke of him as one who had helped
TO dispel the poverty and gloom OF
8Cleyeland's administration and was
now sharing the prosperity of McKin,
ley's reign.
Major Lacey's address embraced the
national stewardship of the republican
party, the affairs of the state and its
financial condition, and he spoke at
great length on the Philippine ques.
ton. That McKinley's administration
had wrought out national prosperity
was made emphatic throughout the en-
tire address. He alluded to the new
buildings going up here and in Iowa
and stated that the same condition OF
affairs existed in other states which he
has recently passed through and also in
the Pacific coast. He concluded BY
saying that it was impossible for q
man to look sad in 1899 as the year OF
1897 was as different from 1896 as ii
possibly could be.
He spoke of the silver question as
dead, saying that the democrats had q
silver plank in their platform but no
one talked about it. He dealt with
the subject of trusts as not being a
political question, stating that neithe,
party was in favor of them, but tina,
both parties We're against them. He
expressed the belief that neither party
had looked as closely after trusts in
the past as they should but that the
subject had been pressed upon them
in late years.
Major Lacey then devoted the re
mainder of his time to the war and its
results. He declared that the demo.

surrendered to shafter, and when the

The address was well received by
the audience who frequently gave veni
to theif appreciation in enthusiastic
applause. Major Lacey's speech was
delivered in a vigorous ard forcible
manner although he was greatly ia,
tigued by the drive overland from Mil

DESTROYED the Maps,

Two tramps entered the school house
on the Newport pike opposite Waverly
Thursday night and while in the build
ing they wanted fire. To build it
they used several valuable charts
found in the school room for kindling.
The charts cost probably $25. The
men must have slept late Friday morn
ing and the teacher saw them as they
were leaving the building and later in
the day Principal L. E. Booher was at
the school and realized that he had
met the men on his way there, when
the teacher described them to him. He
came to Marietta and Saturday morn
ing was telling Marshal Dye about it,
when he saw one of the men pass on
the street.
The Marshal took charge of him at
once and soon found his partner. He
lodged them in the city prison for safe
keeping, and it is lil.ely they will have
hearing some time this week.

A False Alarm.

Saturday about noon when the whis-
ties were blowing and the bells ring
ing in jubilation over the passage of
the river and harbor bill, an alarm was
turned in from box Al at Becker's
planning mill and also from the box at
Lobdells factory by persons who
thought from the unusual noise that
there was IRE.
The people at he department felt al
most certain that they were false
alarms, but as they never take chances
they hurried to the scene and found
that both alarms were false.
Driver O'Neal was at dinner and
Pipeman Davis was up nthe tower to
ring the bell in the jollification which
was to be universal thus leaving Chief
Biszantz alone in the room, but he
made the hitch successfully and was
promptly on hand.

The inhabitants of Scio got another
scare from an oil fire yesterday after
noon when Kelly & Kennedy's we'll on
the Canaga lot was drilled in. The
well is located almost in the center OF
the town, and when 1t made a flow the
gas communicated with the fire in the
boiler and ignited, causing an explos.
ion and setting fire to 80 barrel tank
of oil which was consumed. The ex.
plosion and fire caused no further
damage, but the widest excitement
prevailed for a time, and had it mo-
been for prompt, energetic work in
controlling the fire the damage would
have been very heavy. This is the
third fire that has been started ant
squelched in its incipiency since the oi
boom began, and they may all BIZ
classed as simply the prelude of con.
flagration that will follow in the neal
future unless prompt measures are
taken to supply an equipment to nght
fire. In the towns present condition
with oil wells and tanks in close prox.
unity and nearly all frame buildings
a fire once well under way will wipe
the town out of existence.
Now that the weather has moderated
surface lines could be strung through
the main streets OF the town, and boil
er,engine and pump set up on the banl
of the creek at very little cost, and d
would furnish a moderate degree o.
protection at least.-Derrlck.

A West VIRGINIA Attorney Attempts
Suicide,

Parkersburg, w. Va, March A.
Sherman Robinson, a well known
young attorney of Harrisville, w. Va,
attempted suicide this morning at the
Commercial Hotel. Robinson had been
in Pittsburg on business trip and re-
turning stopped here few days to at
tend a suit pending in U. s. Court.
Falling in with friends Friday after
noon they drank considerably and It
is supposed he was despondent over
the fact, as he had taken the Keefey
cure year ago and had not drank
anything until this time. -.
Between six and seven O'clock this
morning he came down to the Office in
the Commercial Hotel, where she was
stopping, and told l. H. Linlnger, a
friend of his, to come to his room as
he wanted to tell him something.
They started to the room and he was
telling Lininger what to tell his wife
and children when he fell forward on
the floor.
Llninger called help and a physician
Robinson had told Lininger about TAX
ing morphine, and the prompt action
of the physician saved him. A box
containing twenty-five quarter grain
tablets was found on him. He after
wards obtained another supply Of the
deadly drug for a second attempt, but
it was found by his friends and he
was taken home to Harrisville by
friends this afternoon.
Robinson is bright young attorney
of Ritchie county. twenty-eight years
of age, and bade fair to make high
mark in life.

AN EXCELLENT COMBINATION.
SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRISE BASED ON
MERITS.
The Importance OF Informing the Public
of the Value OF an Article Through
the Leading Newspapers.

The few remedies which have attained to
underworld fame, as truly beneficial In ef-
feet and giving satisfaction to millions OF
people everywhere, are the products OF
the knowledge OF the most eminent ply
sicians, and presented In the form most
acceptable 10 the human system by the
skill OF the worlds great chemists; and one
OF the most successful examples Is the
Syrup OF Figs manufactured by the Call
fornia Fig Syrup Co. Unlike host OF
limitations and cheap substitutes, Syrup OF
Figs is permanently beneficial In its effects,
and therefore lives and promotes good
health, while inferior preparations are be-
Ing cast aside and forgotten. In olden
times II remedy gave temporary relief to
individuals here and there, II was thought
good, but nowadays a laxative remedy
must give satisfaction to all. IL you have
never used Syrup OF Figs, give 1t trial;
you will be pleased with 1t. and rec
ommend It to your friends or to any who
suffer from constipation, overwhelming,
colds, headaches, blliousness, or other Ills
resulting from an inactive condition OF the
kidneys, liver and bowels.
In the process OF manufacturing the
pleasant family laxative made by the
California Fig Syrup Co., and named
Syrup OF Figs, figs are used, as they are
pleasant to the taste; but the medicinal
properties OF the remedy are obtained from
an excellent combination OF plants known
to be incidentally laxative and to act most
beneicially. As the true and original
remedy, named Syrup OF Figs, is manuiac-
tured by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, n knowledge OF that fact will assist
in avoiding the worthless limitations manu-
featured by other parties. The Company
has selected for years past the leading pub
lications OF the United States through which
to inform the public OF the merits OF its
remedy.

Lime as a Fertilizer.

Those who believe that lime is
necessary as fertilizer, and their
opinions are not based upon actual
tests of the soil, they would do we'll to
test it. Stir up four or five teaspoon
fuls of the soil with enough water to
make thick paste. Allow it to stand
fifteen minutes. Then part the soil
with knife blade and insert one end
of strip of distinctly blue litmus
paper Ito be had at any apothecarY
store), pressing the soil about the pa
per. After five minutes remove the
paper carefully in order not to tear il
and rinse quickly with water. If the
blue color has disappeared and red
one taken its place, the need OF lime
ispro5able. The fingers should never
be toached to the end Of the paper to
be inserted in the soil, for they alone
will redden it intensely.
It would also be well to test as fol.
lows: Take two glasses, place three
teaspoonfuls of soil in each and add
water till half full; to one glass add
two teaspoonfuls of ammonia wafer,
to be obtained of any druggist,
stir both thoroughly and again five
minutes later. Allow them to settle
and if the one to which ammonia was
added gives black inky looking
liquid, and the other settles out nearly
clear, further evidence of the need OF
lime is given.
The first test should be relied upon
if but one is used, but if the second
agrees with the first, the case is SO
much the more certain. Where lime
is lacking, beet leaves often turn red
and many of the young plants die
lettuce plants also often do the same.
On light. sandy soil from 1000 to
1000 pounds Of -slaked lime may be
applied on the furrows and narrowed
in, preferably in the autumn. On
heavier soil from one to two tons per
acre may be used in this manner. On
heavy and moist soils, there is less
danger from spring applications than
on light ones. II air-slaked lime is
not to be had, ordinary builders lime
will answer, only the quantity may be
reduced in that case to about two
thirds the amount. Place the Jumps
in piles of forty to fifty pounds each
and cover with moist soil. In a few
days it will be sufficiently slaked so
that it can be spread with a shovel.
Harrow or cultivate in the lime at once.
II there are any Jumps, repeat the har-
rowing or cultivating after two or three
days, when they will have slsked SO
that the lime can be mixed with the
soil. If the land is very dry, sprinkle
each pile with about half pail of
water before covering it with soil.
Twice as much of wood ashes as of air.
slaked lime, will also answer.
Potatoes planted on lined land
should be treated with corrosive sub
Innate solution or formalin to prevent
"scab." Watermelons should, if pos
sible, be planted on unlimed land, OF
where the lime has been applied two
or three years previously.-AmericaD
