NINETY-THREE persons died of sun
stroke at Buenos Ayers, Sunday. The
mercury stood at 120 in the shade.

Judge Duncan Dow, of Logan county,
is the latest mentionable for Congress
in the Eighth district. 1t will soon be
every man his own candidate over
there.-Marion Star.
This is very slim foundation for
such pretentious edifice. There hasn't
been a man in the county who has said
he is, or will be, candidate, and we
don't know of one.
AS to Judge Dow's candidacy, we un-
derstand he has said that he desires to
serve out his term as Judge, and the
laws of Ohio, as they should, discoun-
tenance the seeking of Office by judges,
and the voting for them, because the
judiciary should be kept pure, and
above the dirty pool of politics. The
Ohio Election Statutes, Section 297S,
contains this provision:
"All votes for any Judge for any
elective officer, except judicial office,
under the authority of the State, giver
by the general assembly or the people
shall be void"
This plainly shows that our laws
fairly and decisively discountenanct
the candidacy of any Judge for any of
fee except Judicial Office, and thu
propriety of such law is evidenced b.
it's being in the statute book, and is ap
parent to every one.

be as complete and authentic as il
could be made. The authorities con.
suited and cited are many and cover the

The literary style is plain, forcible, and
not lacking in grace and finish. The

THE BOER WAR!
Buffers Army Moving to Attack
the BOers.
EXCITING NEWS EXPECTED
Gen. Kitchener Succeeds Gen.
Methuen.
EXCITING NEWS EXPECTED
And is Now Moving Upon the Town
of Megersfontein.

Rumors are current in England, and
on the Continent, that Buffers army
has moved out again, crossed the Tuge-
la, and is on the way to Ladysmith.
Dispatches say this movement began
Friday. Other dispatches say his army
had not moved Sunday but was on the
point of moving. His army is said to
be very enthusiastic and confident, and
heliograph dispatches state that the
English garrison in Ladysmith is much
elated, having heard the fire of Buffers
guns in his attack upon the Beers.
1t is reported also, that the loss of
the Beers on Spion Kop was very heavy,
being over 100.
The English government has given
out no news for several days, and will
give none to the press until the present
movement, whatever it is, is compile
ted.
Gen. Kitchener has superseded Gen.
Methuen in command of the English
army on the Modder and is said to
have ordered an advance on Meyers
fontein. This place is south of Bloem.
fontein, southeast of Kimberly, and
southwest of Ladvs.aith.
If we were allowed to make a guess,
it would be this:
Gen. Roberts has placed Gen. Kirch-
ener, the hero of the Soudan in com
Af
largely re-enforced it with the fresh
troops that have arrived at Cape Colony.
At latest advices, it was announced he
had troops and all necessary transports
there. The transports would carry part
of the troops from Cape Colony to Eliz
abeth Port, aud East London, and from
these three ports, they could be carried
by three lines of railroad to within
about so miles of Megersfontein. This
would enable Roberts to send large
force with supplies to Methuen's army
and by striking the Beers at Meyers
fontein he would push them back, an6
| compel them to raise the siege of KEN
| berly. Taking Bloemfontein, he would
| be in excellent position to march to the
relief of Ladysmith, from the south
| west.
He will doubtless have a force large
enough to meet the whole of Joubert's
army if he, the latter, should march
from Ladysmith to meet him. If Jou
bert prefers to hold his grip on Lady
smith, then he will have the armies O
both Kitchener and Butler to fight.
| The reported movement of Buller'
army, so soon after his repulse, We
think, indicates a feint to prevent th'
Boer's detaching any of their force tt
re-enforce their army in front of Kirch
ener.
If Kitchener is moving upon Lady
smith from the southwest, Butler viii
doubtless move his army to the west
south of the Tugela, and join his arm.
to Kirchener's west of Ladysmith.
This may be only guess, but i
would be a good military move, ant
several things indicate that it is prob
ability.
If Kitchener and Butler unite, the.
can swing around to the west and nortl
of Ladysmith, and cutting off Joubert'
cracker line, force him to come out O
his works and fight.
At Mafeking, the British have bee
driving the Beers back.

AGAINST TRUSTS,

The Supreme Court of Ohio handed
down decision, Saturday, in which it
held that there is constitutional author
ity to prohibit Trusts in Ohio. The
Courts opinion, as given by Judge
Shauck, was as follows:
"The act entitled an act to define
Trusts, ETC., 93 o. L., page 143, in so
ations to enter into combination to res
trict competition in trade with view
to exacting from consumers higher
prices than would prevail under the
conditions of open competition is an
exercise of legislative power not repug-
nant to any limitation described by
either the State or Federal consti-
tuition"

To Be Prepared

For war is the surest way for this nation to
maintain peace. This is the opinion Of the
wisest statesmen. 1t is equally true that to
be prepared for spring is the best way to
avoid thb peculiar dangers Of the season. This
is a lesson multitudes are learning, and at
this time when the blood is sure to be loaded
with impurities and to be weak and sluggish,
the millions begin to take Hoods Sarsaparilla,
which purifies, enriches and vitalizes the
blood. expels all disease germs, creates a good
appetite, gives strength and energy, and puts
its whole system in a healthy condition, pre-
venting pneumonia, fevers, and other danger
GUS diseases which are liable to attack d
