The PALMYRA acetU1ena uac Ma,

The Palmyra acetylene gas plant
burned out last Saturday morning and
the village has since been in darkness.
The cause of the fire is not known, but
indications point to incendiarism.
The light has been much opposed by
some residents, though it appears that
for the expense incurred the streets
have been fairly we'll illuminated.
Fortunately, though there were two
tons of carbide in the place, the con-
tainers were tight, and as the fire
company knew enough not to throw
any water in the direction of the fire,
there was 20 explosion and Palmyr.
is still on the map. That quantity of
the stuff properly wet up and ignited
would have made a disturbance in
Jefferson county that would have at
tracted considerable attention all
through the southern part of the state.

Christmas.


Yesterday was the Feast of the
Nativity-an occasion celebrated all
over the Christian word. The weather
here was Ct the genuine sort, cold and
enough snow to give the wintry aspect
SO often alluded to in the songs of the
poets, but so often Only to be imagined
in this latitude. Business generally
was suspended and the day given over
to the home circle and attendance
upon religious services.
In the Catholic, Lutheran and Epis-
copal churches the customary cere-
monies were held. At St. Paul's
Episcopal the feast was ushered in
with the Christmas-eve festival of the
Sunday school at 5 o'clock Monday
afternoon. A large tree laden with
gifts for the children was feature
and Christmas carols were joyfully
sung At midnight and at o'clock
A. M. Holy Communion was celebrated,
and at 10 A. M. there was full
choral service, with sermon by the
rector. The musical program at this
service was elaborate and was well
rendered by the augmented choir.
1.-The most interesting service at
St. Bernard's Catholic church was the
solemn high mass at A. NJ. The
music, under the direction of Edward
j. Brandt, was of extraordinary merit.
Haydn's Mass was sung and the
special numbers included ''Holy
Night" by Dressler. (soprano solo
and chorus); Wiegand's cave Maria
for the otfertory, rendered by a
quartette composed of Mrs. E. j.
Brandt, soprano; Miss Lucille Bertram,
contralto; Edward L. Schempf, tenor;
E. j. Brandt, baritone; and the grand
chorus, Praise ye the Father,"' by
Gounod. At the 1890 mass this pro-
gram was repeated with the exception
of the offertory. the soprano solo,
'.Bethlehem's Guiding STAR" sung by
Mrs. Brandt, with violin obllgato by
Joseph Mullen, being substituted.
Most OF the Sunday schools of the
Protestant churches held their
Christmas tree services Monday even

Hotel Daub Sold
The Hotel Daub property, consist
ing of the three-story building at No.
10 Main street and the two-story
building on North First street adjoin-
ing the Bank ofWatertown block, was
sold by Sheriff Jaehnke last Thursday
morning by virtue of a judgment of
foreclosure and sale held by Mrs
Matilda Nellins. The Main street
building was bid in by the mortgage
at So, 600 and the other portion was
sold to William F. Trachte for 50, 1925.
Aside from the purchasers, there ap-
peared to be no one anxious to secu
the property and but little interest was
manifested in the sale. The price
which the property brought is con-
sidered ridiculously low. 1t is not
decided at present whether the hotel
will be continued or whether the pro-
perry will be used for other business
purposes. Negotiations are pending,
it is said for the lease of the build
ings as hostelry.

HAS NO COMPETITOR.
One Patent Medicine Which Has tn
Field to Itself.

)ne Patent Medicine Which Has tn
Field to Itself.
A prominent physician was re-
Gently asked why it was there are
so many blood purifiers, nerve
tonics" and medicines for every i'll
except one of the most common
and annoying diseases, viz, piles
He replied there are two princi-
pal reasons. First, physicians and
people in general have thought
for years that the only permanent
cure for piles was surgical oper-
alton, and that medicinal prepare
tions were simply pallatives and
not a cure for the trouble.
Another reason is that piles, I'M
like many other diseases. is in no
sense an imaginary trouble. A suf-
ferer from piles is very much
aware of the fact. and for this
reason the few pile salves and
ointments, etc., have been short
lived because the patient very soon
discovered their worthlessness.
He continues: However, there is
a new pile remedy which, judging
from its popularity and extent OF
its sale, will soon take the place
of all other treatment for piles. L
has certainly made thousands of
cures in this obstinate disease and
its merit, repeatedly tested, has
made it famous among physicians
and wherever introduced. The rem
edy is sold by druggists every
where under name of Pyramid Pile
Cure.
It is in convenient, suppository
form, composed of harmless astrin-
gents and healing oils. gives imme-
date relief in all forms Of piles
and a radical cure without resort
to the knife and without pain or
interference with daily occupation.
One strong recommendation for
the remedy is that it contains no
cocaine nor opium, and is abso-
lutely safe to use at any time.
One of the suppositories is APP
piled at night, is absorbed and the
cure is natural and painless.
1t permanently cures itching,
bleeding or protruding piles, and
is the only remedy except dan
gerous surgical operation that will
do so.
All druggists sell complete
treatment of the suppositories for
so cents, and the Pyramid Drug
Co., of Marshall, Mich, will mail
free to any address a little book
on cause and cure of piles which
may be of assistance in chronic
cases.

A COLLECTION OF VERSE ALL IN

a spontaneity like the bursting forth Of
buds in springtime, a freshness and pur-
ity as of the air at dawn. a music as of
singing birds are what gives 10 Frank
Stanton's poetry its charm. He is the poet
that sings itself into our hearts and stays
there long after we have forgotten more
pretentious verse. Old loves come back
and are sweet again; little children laugh
in the sunlight; the rose blooms above the
cabin door, and an the year IS May when
he touches his Tyre. Songs from Dixie
Land is a collection Of verses, ali instinct
will welcome them, for such songs add to
the happy music of the world. The Illus
trat.ons by ". II. Galloway are clever
and show the artists appreciation of the

The Democratic judicial conferees
of the First judicial district,
which comprises Hancock, Brooke.
Ohio, and Marshall counties,
met yesterday afternoon at room
IA in the Hotel Windsor for the pur-
pose Of placing in nomination candl-
date for judge OF the judicial circuit.
At o'clock the convention was
called to order, all districts being rep
resented. Hon Frank Mcneil, of Mad
ison district, was made chairman, while
DR.. S. L. S. Spragg, Of Washington
district, was chosen secretary. The
usual committees were appointed, and
after receiving reports the chair an
nounced nominations in order. Mr..
Joseph Handlan, on behalf of the First
judicial district, placed in nomination
the present incumbent Judge Thayer
Melvin, who has already been nomln-
ated by the Republican party at their
convention last Saturday. In placing
Judge Melvin's name before the. con-
vention, Mr. Handlan stated that the
judiciary should be taken out of poll
tics Everybody recognizes the fact
that Judge Melvin is learned and able
jurist, perfect gentleman, admired
and loved by all who know him, and,
knowing the value OF an able man on
the bench, the Democratic party would
make a commendable nomination in
naming Judge Melvin. Every delegate
present conceded with the nomination,
and motion was made to suspend the
rules and the nomination was made
unanimous Judge Melvin will prob
ably be elected.
The judicial executive committee was
next appointed, and is composed of
Messrs. G. L. Bambrick, OF Hancock
county; John c. Palmer, Brooke coun-
ty; A. H. Weidebusch Ohio county, and
C. r. Oldham, of Marshall county.
A notification committee consisting
of Messrs. Joseph Handlan, Frank Nc
Nell and T. S. Riley was next appointed
to communicate the action Of the con-
vention to Judge Melvin at the Court
House.
Upon arrival at the Court House and
after informing the Judge of the NOM
nation, he displayed very deep affec-
lion, realizing the esteem in which he
S held throughout the city and dis
lrict. The meeting was one long to be
remembered by those present.
The action OF the convention is one
that received very favorable common
iation by Republicans as well as Demo-
Gratis.
In discussing the action of the con-
ferees, one prominent Republican said:
at was tribute to the Democratic
party to place in nomination such a
man as Judge Melvin. 1t not only
meets the approval of the people, ont
it displays the fact that the Democratic
party is more liberal in their views
chan the Republicans. 1t shows that
the Democratic party has the interests
