Do you know what it is to have n
back that is never free from aches and
constant pain, lame back, sore
back, an aching back, in fact o back
that makes your life bdrden? What

there's where to make the attack
Most backaches come from disordered
kidneys; therefore you must coTrect
their action if you would be cured.
People in Marietta are testifying that
and it is not hard TO prove their state

Mrs. G. ufflebean, of No. $50 Third

pain being mostly down in the small
of the back, where it hurt to stoop

Court House and JaiI.-A New Spot
Suggested,

The attention of the County Com
missioners is respectfully called to a
piece of ground called Sacra Via, as
being very suitable for the location OF
the new county buildings.
AS if anticipating the public wants
and having presentment of the large
growth of the city and the increase of
population throughout the county,
more than a hundred years ago the
agents and proprietors of the Ohio
Company after resolving upon the
conditions upon which they would
lease the public squares, did not lease
Sacra Via or Covert Way, but put il
into the care of General Putnam to be
preserved and seeded down to grass as
public ground.
What more fitting place than the
one thus appropriated by the Ohio
Company upon which to build public
buildings? 1t has a frontage of 300
feet upon Third street, brick paved
from the Ohio river to the northern
confines of the city, and upon which
more buildings have been erected in
the last five years than upon any 9TH
er street in the city. Quadranaou
Square is almost directly opposite Sac
ra Via on the East, while on the West
an open space extends to the Musking-
um river. Buildings on the north and
south are also considerable distance
away. There are four nearby streets
and in one direction the electric street
railway is less than half a square dis
tant. Buildings here would be far re-
moved from the noise of the roaring
dam, blowing steamboat whistles and
screaming railroad engines and not
least to be remembered, far ont of
reach of the highest foods
This location for the county build
ings is, in the opinion of the writer,
superior to any that has been named,
unless the Jail lot, which certainly has
many advantages to which the atten-
tion of the public has already been
directed, should be chosen. ,

Some Premature Presidential Timber


If tn nominating conventions were
to be held during the present winter
instead of in the summer of 1900 very
likely the Democrats would take Col
Cnel Watterson's martial and enthusi-
astic ADVICE and name the following
ticket
For Observation-Disclosures George
Dewey, of Manila Bay.
For Vice President-General Fitz-
hugh Lee, of Havana.
But in that event the Republicans
would not be behindhand, and their
ticket would probably be:
For President-Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, of the Rough Riders.
For Vice President-Admiral Samp-
son, of the Atlantic squadron.
The Populsts could scarcely be at
loss in following these leads and their
standard bearers would be:
For President-Colonel William j.
Bryan of the Nebraska volunteer
For Vice President-Commodo
Schley of Santiago.
Even the Prohibtonists might be
counted upon to fall in with the pro-
cession under the following standard
bearers:
For President-Captain Ludlow, of
the Massachusetts.
For Vice President-General Charles
A. King, of the magazines.
And if the woman suffraglsts choose
to rise to the occasion they would be
almost forced by the logic of the sltu-
alton to unanimously nominate:
For Observation-Disclosures Rich
mond p. Hobson, the gallant sinler.
For Vice President-Miss Clara Bar
ton, of the hospital service.
This would leave a fine assortment
of military and naval heroes, from
General Miles to Bos'n Duggan, to be
nominated by another party or to
serve on committee chairmanships.
The platform in eac.l case would, of
course, be the same, namely:
One country; one flag; one army;
one navy; red fire; brass bands;
who-o-p!
But, as matter Of fact, the nomina-
tions will not be made for 1S months,
and by that time it will have occurred
to hosts of people that this was a
large country with many complex in
terests before the Maine was blown up.

The Age of London,

London is said to have been founded
by Brute, a descendant of the Trojan
Aeneas and called New Troy until the
time of Lud, who surrounded it with
walls and gave it the name of Caer Lud
or Lud'stown. Lud was said to be a
British King buried where Ludgate
formerly stood, but this is only fabu-
lous. The name London was from Lin
0ln, the town on the lake" Some say
that a city existed on the spot 1907
years before the birth of Christ and
S54 years before the foundation of
l.ome. In 81, A. d., it was known by
the Romans as Lundinum, or Colonia
Augusta, chief residence of the mer-
chants. The original walls of London
are said to have been the work of
Thodlus, the Roman Governor of Brit
ain 379, but are supposed to have been
built about 306.
The area of the municipality of
London ia 671 acres. Including the
and city police districts,
is 443,421 statute acres in size.

HorSeIess Vehicles for Europe,


1t was announced on December 2S
that the Fisher Equipment Company
of Chicago, had contracted to furnish
a large number of electric vehicles for
expectation to Europe during the next
ten years. Contracts have been closed
with the Holyoke Works, Holyoke,
Mass; Stanley Automatic Carriage
Company, Newton. Mass, and the Oy-
erman Wheel Company, Chicopee
Falls, Mass, to furnish a thousand
vehicles year for ten years. The
Massachusetts factories are to turn
out steam, gasoline and petroluem mo-
tors, while the Chicago concern will
manufacture electric carriages and
motor cycles, 1t is said that 1900
vehicles are to be made per year by the
combined companies, and it said that
the aggregate price to be paid will not
be far from $15,00O,OOO. The first
vehicles will be shipped in January,
and the Paris Office will be opened on
the Champs Elysees, and branches
VIII be established in London, Berlin,
Vienna and Brussels. The Count de
Jotemps, who closed the contract said:
The American patents on horseless
vehicles are the only ones of practical
value on the market. In Europe we
have nothing that can compare with.
the American motor-vehicles, either
in lightness, easy running qualities,
rightly or stability. We are satisfied
that America will furnish the horse
less carriage of the future, and 1t is our
idea to control the supply. ."-Scientifi

Residents Must Not Dry Clothes on
the Parking.

Mr. J. L. Alverson Of 1902 New Hamp-
shire avenue, who was recently denied per-
mission by the District Commissioners to
have clothes dried on the parking in the
rear of his house. asked a reconsideration
of the matter, explaining that 1t is impos-
sible for him to adopt the suggestion of
the Commissioners that the clothes be
dried in the house. After duly reconsider
ing the matter the Commissioners have de-
cided to adhere to their declination of Mr.
Alverson's request. The Commissioners fail
to that any facts have been advanced
by him warranting them in granting the
desired permission.
1.-The question:" explain the Commission
ers rs whether parties will be permitted
to dry clothing upon the parking or not.
When one of the foreign embassies was
compelled to change it's action in this re-
spect a few years ago, 1t does no. seem
advisable for the Commissioners to permit
other parties to take the same action. 1t
may possibly work hardship In the pres
ent case, but as houses without private
grounds around them are generally the
ones near the angles of intersecting streets.
and consequently the most conspicuous
ones in the city, and permission cannot
be given to one party to dry clothing upon
the parking and refused to Others the Com
missioners' former action in the present
case must be adhered to-"
