PLEASE EXPLAIN.

Editor Graphie-Piease inform us through the medium of your paper the reasons assigned by members Of the Board of Education for giving the Superintendent ot Public Schools of this city $2,000 for his services annually, when the State Superin- tendent has 75 counties under his care, etc., and only receives from $l, 800 to S200O per year?

Who Sells 1T?

IT it's paint you want-good
paint, strictly pure, made Of lead,
znc and linseed oil, and the neces-
sary color and dryer; just that and
nothing else in it, no adulteration
or cheapening material, all this
guaranteed and cold subject to
a chemical analysis-here il is.
It's the cheapest paint on the
market. Don't Judge by the gallon
price, but by the cost Of the JOB
complete, which will always be
less than than when so-called
cheap paints are used, because it
goes so much farther and lasts
so much longer. Ask tor "Horse
Shoe Brand" and take no other.
We give the guarantee and proof
of purity; what more can you ask2

CHILD BLED TO DEATH.
Hemorrhage Was the Result of
Slight Wound.
Very Peculiar Case an Entire Family
Died Of Hemophillia Blood 0ozed
Continually From The Holes Made By
a Needle Used to Sew up Compare
lively Innocent Wound.

tfNAf WVthus
Yesterdays Sistersville Review has
the following account of the death of
little boy in that town from a pecu-
liar cause:
Harry Christopher the grand son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Clark Christopher, of
KloDdike avenue, about three years of
age, died Saturday night Of hemor-
rhage, the result Of a slight wound in
the inside Of the lower lip. On Fri
day night the little boy fell and struck
his face on the stove, causing the in.
jury by contact Of the teeth with the
flesh.
DIR. kahle was summoned, but was
unable to stop the flow of blood from
the wound, although he exhausted all
remedies prescribed in the rare cases
of the kind. The hemorrhagic condi-
tion continued up to the time of
death, the blood oozing continually
from the holes made by the needle IN
closing the wound.
This fatality is part of Que Of the
most peculiar cases in the annals of
medicine and surgery. The boys
mother and nearly all the members of
his family died from hemorrhages
that were superinduced by wounds of
no greater seriousness than that
which caused the recent death. In
several cases the puncture Of needle
or pin, slight cut on the forehead,
ETC., were the producing causes.
The dead boys mother died six
months ago and his father three years
ago from hemorrhage. His grandpar-
ents on his mothers side ard four
brothers and sisters ended life ia "a
similar way, and the total of deaths
of his connections for several genera
tions back is nearly entirely attribu-
table to the one cause. Last summer
this little boy cut one of his hands
slightly, and it was two weeks before
the bleeding from this wound was
stopped In this case the usual RENE
dies were Ineffective, and the hemor-
rhage was only controlled by the con-
slant COMPRISING of the injured MEM
Der above the wound. This disease,
or condition, is known as hemophillia.
Mr.. Christopher removed TO this
city from Ravenswood sometime since,
and is employed at teaming. The re-
mains of his grandchild were sent to
the latter town yesterday afternoon
for burial.
