Upon i3er-A Grand, Complete
Cure by Hoods Sarsapariiia
After Others Failed.

CT was taken with neuralgia in my
head and eyes. Not long after this,
scrofula sore appeared on my left cheek,
extending from my upper lip to my eye.
Other sores came on my neck and on my
right arm and one of my limbs. They
We're very troublesome and painful and
soon became great running sores My
face looked SO bad that some of my
neighbors could not bear to look at me
and advised me to wear a bandage, but
feared this would irritate the sore and
make it worse. So
Could Not Hide the Sores.
NV niece, who was familiar with n case
similar to mine, which had been cured by
Hoods Sarsaparills, urged me to try it.
Finally i was persuaded to do so, and in
a short time / saw it was helping me.
The sores began to heal and the neu-
ralsia in my head was better. In few
months the sores on my arms and limbs
all healed; those on my neck gradually
disappeared and now they are all gone.
have never had any symptom of scrofuls
since. One large scar on my right arm is
all the sign that remains OF my terrible
afiiction- The neuralgia is also cured

In the Horse Shoe Bend Case : Hearing
Before Squire Schnltze To morrow.

As a result of the incident occurring
recently at Horseshoe Bend. out Cald-
wells run, on the Fairmont pike, aud
in which a woman interfered with the
work OF a gang OF county workmen who
were engaged in repairing a slip in the
road near her property, Mrs. Hannah
E. Robinson is to be arraigned before
Squire John Scultze tomorrow evening
on a warrant sworn out by Thomas b.
Rose. the charges being assault and
battery and breach of peace. AS pre-
viously mentioned, it is alleged that
Mrs. Robinson struck the workman
with the butt end Of a heavy whip, in
ficting painful cash over his eye. II
IS said that she became enraged at the
presence OF the workmen near her home
after learning that in order to repair
the slip the line fence on her property
would have TO be removed. The case
is attracting considerable attention and
the hearing will, no doubt, draw large
audience.

One of the saddest accidents occur
ring in this vicinity for long time
past transpired at Wheeling Park about
a quarter of ten o'clock yesterday
morning, and resulted in the death of
the victim, Mrs. Ernest Kreiger, about
four o'clock in the afternoon. De-
ceased was one of the best known and
most estimable women of this city and
vicinity, having very wide circle of
friends and acquaintances, and to
these, as we'll as to the general public,
her sad end was a shock and the acct
dent was universally deplored.
Preparations were being made in the
early morning for the large excursion
party from Massillon, o., expected to
arrive during the day, and number of
vehicles hfd occasion to visit the
Park. Among them was a large and
heavy four-horse wagon belonging to
the Reymann Brewing Company. This
was left standing on the road near the
Casino station of the railway, and MI S.
Kreiger happened to be in that vicinity
at the time The horses began to m we,
and Mrs. Kreiger, who was accustomed
to doing things herself. and who was
a most energetic and self-reliant wo-
man, made an attempt to stop the
team. Running to the heavy wagon
she attempted to climb mp on one of
the fore wheels. either to set the brake
or grasp the lines, but in doing so her
dress caught in the wheel in some man.
ner, and the unfortunate and helpless
woman was compelled to relinquish
her grasp and. fell. The horses con-
tinued to move onward, and as~ the
wagon progressed her dress became
more and more firmly wrapped about
the revolving wheel, carrying Mrs.
Kreiger with it at every revolution.
The team continued on toward the en-
trance of the Park, and travelled a con-
siderable distance before Mrs. Kreiger's
awful predicameat was seen. Then
Morg. McCulloch and a gentleman
named Fleming went to her assistance,
the team was stopped, and Mrs. kreiger
was released and removed to her resi-
dence, while messages were dispatched
for Drs. Cracraft, Alexander Henderson
and Hildreth. The physicians respond
ed as soon as possible, when it was
found that Mrs Kreiger was suffering
from numerous wounds on the head,
including one great cash six inches in
length. The skull was not fractured,
and no bones were broken. but the vic
tim was suffering from conclusion Of
the brain. and breathed her last about
four O'Clock in the afternoon.
Deceased is survived By her husband
and Mr. Charles Clark. her brother ard
Mrs. Schnitzer, her sister each of whom
will have sincere sympathy. The fun
eral arrangements will probably be
made to-day.

In just two weeks from tomorrow
the nineteenth annual State Fair will
open on the Island grounds, and it is
going to be the biggest thing in all the
history of the organization.
Everything points to this conclusion.
Entries are coming in in all the depart

handled, and the display promises to be
an enormous one all along the line.

may be stated that entries in class

and Charles c. Schmidt of fruits, vege-

ally. About one hundred and fifty en-
tries were made in this latter depart
ment alone yesterday, and it is going
to be a big and handsome display. Mr..
Schmidt has managed this department
OF late years with consummate skill
and Judgment, and with the greatest
success as to results, and this year
he promises to break the records. The
outlook in all the other departments is
also more than first class.
The coming week big force of men
will be at work on the grounds, and
tomorrow week Secretary Hook and
his staff will move over, bag and bag
gage, and will be there continuously
until the Fair is over
There is every probability that Chill
dren's Day, when the little people are
to be admitted free, will lie changed
from Tuesday until Friday, although
the management has not yet taken
definite action. They desired the chill
dren to come on Tuesday, when every
thing was fresh and new, but the
Board of Education granted the holt
day on Friday, which caused con-
fiict and necessitates a change of plans,
as one definite day must be settled
upon. This matter will be disposed of
during the coming week.
Robert Anderson returned from down
the river last Thursday with an addi-
tional string of horses, and reports the
horse question in the best possible
shape.
The Merchants Day proposition is
progressing very satisfactorily. The
Executive and Finance Committees,
and the business men generally are call

merce Monday evening to finally settle

and hoped there will be large attend
anee. The financial work in the line
of soliciting, has been done by Messrs.

Prof. Shelf and Mr.. Radcliffe, and the
results achieved are shown in the fol-
lowing report made esterday. This

about $500 more in sight. The con-
