The greatest show of all ages lie
billed for q sort of continuous per-
formsnce this year. Indeed, the
first act has already taken place in
the form of the late cold snaps. As
will be seen in the article headed
"Falb's Prophecies" reprinted in

show and billed the earth some
years previously. But along in July
and August the performance lie to
be wildly exciting. when the eastern

to pass all humanity, as ghosts, can

long continued cold wave that made
a new record in a large part of the
United States. Also, for March.
1898 90, he predicted a dreadful
time Of earthquakes and storms.
when IN fact that March turned
out To be the most lamb like March
in long series of wears. The rec
ords will show that he has missed
il badly many time, proving that
however much he forecasts from n
scientific basis his conclusions are
not truly scientific, hut are merely
speculative. On the other hand,
while his predictions partake some
what of the nature of the lutheran
ces of the DelphIc oracle, he does
forecast the weather often enough
TO make great many believe in his
representations, or, at least, to
eagerly read them.
These sorts of scientific specula-
tons are all right in their place,
out they are out or their place when
they assume to give the value of
what will he to what may be. When
astronomers agree in calculating
what will be the position of the
heavenly bodies at a certain time
the world accepts their conclusions
as truly scientific. If Falb's con-
illusions are really scientific there
ought to be no permanent difficulty
in showing to other scientists the
accuracy of what he predicts will
result from the operation of natural
laws. Until he does SO laymen
ought 10 feel no more serious ap-
prehensions than they did in regard
To Mother SYMPTOMS famous rhymed
prophecy of the Cosmic Bsllyhoo
that didn't occur in 1881.

credit for sagacious self-restraint
under circumstances the most try
ing. At Brennan, Texas, a pretty
young lady among the crowd at the
station blushingly asked him to kiss
her, but Bryan politely informed
her that he wasn't Hobson. That
kiss would have been one of the
dearest on record, as it would have
cost Bryan the next Democratic
Presidential nomination.

BrT short time ago gold as
money was so inhospitably treated
and so fiercely abused that il fled
from circulation among the people.
But times have changed. and gold
has returned among the people,
making friends with them and
pleading for their hospitality as 1t
hasn't done since the Civil war.
President F. S. Allen, of the Ex-
change Bank Of Sharpsburg, re-
ceived this letter from cores
pendent -
Cincinnati, o., March 18th, 1899.
"Gentlemen:-
There seems to be a great scarcity
OF shipping currency,-that Is, 5s,
los and 20's,-not only i'm Cincinnati
but all over the country. We cannot
get any of this currency from our
Asst. Treasurer of the United States
in Cincinnati, as they are paying
gold for checks on themselves. We
may find it necessary for the present
on your orders for currency to ship
gold. You may be assured We will
not ship il il we can get anything
else. Please advise US il this meets
your approval.
Yours respectfully,
30. ii. TUDOR, Cashier
Ohio Valley Nat. Bank, Gin, o."
At Washington the Treasury De-
partment is forcing gold into cir
culation, partly because Of the
scarcity Of paper currency and
probably partly for the purpose of
again familiarizing the people with
the yellow money,-the real thing,
that goes in all the civilized world
for its actual weight and fineness,
regardless of the credit of the ma
ton that has put its stamp upon it.
The United States might be sunk
into the sea by a Falb earthquake,
but U. S. gold coin would still pass
current. not by reason Of the stamp
upon il, but because of the value
of the imperial yellow metal in it.;
whereas U. 5. paper currency in
like event would be worth about
the same as Confederate paper
money.

tween Mt. Sterling and Ashland.

of years with dropsy and other all
ments. All medical skill could not
restore him to his wonted health.

loss are his wife Mrs. Elizabeth. and

Parker. He was a true husband
and as good a citizen as we had in
our community, and being once a
large property owner here he also
carried a $4,000 life insurance pol
icy, which was made payable to his
wife. He was a member of the
Baptist Church here and also one
of the founders of the church here
to which he belonged. Up to about
three years ago, before he was ia
ken down sick, he was very active
in church work, always ready to
lend a helping hand for the up
building of his church and its
cause. Deceased leaves a wide
circle of relatives and friends to
mourn the loss Of q good man. His
were laid to rest Sunday
in the Jones burying grounds. Fu-
neral services were conducted at
his late residence Sunday morning

tian Church. The bereaved family
and friends have the heartfelt SYM
patty Of the entire community.
Peace be to his ashes.
