south Carlisle street, and will move in

Dell Purk will move his family to

One week ago the pipe line having
been completed to the railroad, the oil
company sent a man here and an Oil
tank was filled in about q hours. At
ter the oil tank on the car was filled
there remained many barrels in the
storage tank. The well, it seems, is
producing 10 bbls. or more daily. The
one on the Houlihan farm will be shot
soon, and it is believed will be a good
producer. There is 800 feet of oil in
the well now. The company contem-
plate drilling another well not far from
the other two, so one engine can pump
all three, and can also pump from the
storage tank to railroad. The men
here in the company are among our
most enterprising citizens, and have
shown commendable pluck and energy,
and we wish them success in their in.

E. T. Lowe has bought the Barger
farm II miles west of town on the Mi

A gentleman from Ansonia has form
ed partnership with E. S. Baughman
& Sons, in the factory, and will move
into Mrs. Stockwell's house the first OF
February.
Mr.. Boggs, gardner, of near Con-

our town and occupy Leedom & Stiles
house on west Main street.
EnOch Cox, section foreman on the

Saturday, to take the section in the
yards at Lima, at an increase of salary.
Ninety-seven per cent of the broom
'rn was bought at about 800 ton,
which was good round price for the
producer. A combine, after securing so
large a per cent, then advanced it I'M
til it is now worth 5000 a ton. Who
will say a trust is blessing to the pee
pie? Who pays the additional 800 a
ton? The consumer. To hope all such
trusts will be legislated out of existence,
is very mild way of putting it.
Our ice dealers filled all their houses
with the finest quality of ice we ever
saw put up here.
There were two accessions to the

Since writing the above, we learn
that there is oil sufficient to fill another

oil is flowing out of the Houlihan well.

AN aTE~.-xs- Jade through the
New York World az ainst the Repub-
lican party, by Congressman De Ar
mand, that the expenses of the Govern
ment have been increased since the
war much more largely than the popu-
lation. From this, all effort is made to
prove the extravaganza of the ,epub-
lican party. We have no desire . ex-
cuse any extravaganza or cover up any
corruption, but this argument is mis-
leading. What is true of the Govern
ment is true of the people, their own
expenses have largely increased since
the war. They have expenses now,
which are deemed necessary, that were
not thought of before or at the close of
our war. AS civilization increases the
conveniences, necessities, comforts and
expenses of life increase. Our fathers
paid little for carpets, stoves, white
sugar, watches, pianos, buggies, etc.
They paid nothing for coal oil or elec-
trio lights, railroad and street car fares,
sewing machines, farm machinery, and
a thousand other things that are now
deemed ecessities. So the neces-
stiles of the Government are multi
piled. And in addition, the great bur-
den of the war, forced upon the country
by the Democrats, is still with us, and in
pensions has been constantly increas-
ing. Economy and retrenchment should
not be lost sight of especially when the
constant tendency is to extravaganza,
but larger expenditures than formerly
do not, per Sc, prove extravaganza.
And the record of the Democratic par
ty during the only time it has been in
power since the war under Cleveland, J
when it had to borrow money to pay it's
expenses, does not give any assurance
that it would be well to intrust the
Government in its hands, even to se-
cure greater economy.

OUR BRIDGE WORKS.
They Will Not Enter the Trust,
But Go 1t Alone.

When the managers of a manufactur-
ing plant receive an invitation nova |
days from u trust combine to "walk in |
to my parlor,' they generally walk
for that is about all they can do. The |
invitation is the old robbers challenge,
"Your money or your life," and they
always have the drop on their victim
before they give the challenge. What
else can be done under the circumstan-
ces but to surrender? Our bridge works
have been invited again and again to
iein the Trust that has been forming
for year, and Mr.. Fisher, the Presi-
dent, attended meeting of those form
ing the Trust, at Pittsburg, last week.
The Trust offered the company stock in
the Trust, for the plant here, without
any voice in the management of the
Trust. This was proposition to rob
the company first, and skin them after
ward. Mr.. Fisher came home, and
called a meeting of the stockholders,
Saturday, and they were nearly all
present.
| They heard Mr.. Fishers report, and
unanimously voted to go ahead with
their business and do the best they
)uld, trusting that the Government
will come to the aid of the people by
throttling the Trusts.
| What ought the people of Bellefon-
taine to do under the circumstances:
Here is case brought home to our
own city. The most important enter
prise we have; that was started by oul
own people, and is steadily growing
and constantly giving employment to &
very respectable and increasing mum
ber of men, is in peril. Elsewhere thel
, are men who wish to monopolize the
bridge building of the country, an(
, they virtually say to our company, clos
, your factory and hand over your bust
ness to us, or we will crush you out o
existence. What should we, as citizen
do, under the circumstances? There i
not one of us who is not being rObbe'
every day by some one of these trusts
They have run up the price of sugar, Q
:. coffee, of meat, of hardware, of fencing
of building material, of machinery, c
coal oil,-of most things that we buy
and we have to pay their price. Now tn
matter comes home when this octOpr

dustry. Is it not time for the people
speak? The Legislature is in session

MANILA. Jan. 81, 10 p. m.-The es-
cort OF fifty men of Company c, Both
Infantry, Lieut.. Ralston commanding,
which was ambushed near Lipa, as al
ready cabled, consisted of fifty conva-
lescents from the hospital who were 60
ing to rejoin the regiment. The insur-
gents hid in the bushes along the road
and opened fire upon the pack train
from three sides.
The Americans, in addition to their
casualties, were compelled to abandon
the train, which consisted of twenty
two horses. The latter with their packs
fell into the hands of the insurgents,
who pursued the retreating escort for
three miles along the road, until the
AMERICANS WERE REINFORCED.

What We Eat

must be digested and assimilated before it
can do this. In other words. the nourishment
contained in food must be separated by the
digestive organs from the waste materials
and must be carried by the blood to all parts
of the body We believe the reason for the
great benefit which so many people derive
from Hoods Sarsaparilla lies in the fact that
this medicine gives good digestion and makes
pure, rich blood. 1t restores the functions of
those organs which convert food into nourish-
