To all Hnneock County rnions:

GRKETIs:G-It is time to begin to plan
for convention, and it Is to be hoped that
each union will have good report OF
work done. AID nov let US remem Der
the county dues, which should be pa d at
once, and not force our good treasurer to
write to the unions to remind them OF the
fact. 1t costs no more to be prompt than
il does to be behindhand. and 1t saves the
treasurer both time and money.
The corresponding secretary wants to
know how many members in good stand
ing each union has Please tie ready to
report also any other matters OF general
interest for either unity or state con
ventions. Let Us have reports from all the
departments II superintendents are
thinking about it now, they VIII have
some interesting papers ready for the con-
vention.

Dear Aant MGdge and NJ Il. Friends:
have been an interested reader OF the NJ. Il.
column ever since 1t was first edited. have
always enjoyed reading 1t, and have got lois OF
good thiags" from IL. ! have often thought
would write something, but my courage would
fail me when took my pen. SO l would lay II
aside and say l cannot write anything that
would interest anyone. but will try this once.
Aunt Madges remark about the biscuits
amused me, for WAS one of the unfortnnaIes
only few nights before | read her letter. Here
are just few little things worth knowing;
perhaps they may help some one.
How many have tried putting fine salt In their
lamps? If you never have, try 1t, and see what
brilliant light you will have, also how much
longer your chimneys will remain clean.
When your lamp burners get black and
smoky. try boiling them in little vinegar and
water. then rub with wooden cloth while stii
hot, They will look ike new.
When your soups any liquid food gets
caught to the bottom of the ketlle, remove from
the lire and plunge into a vessel of cold water a
few seconds, then pour out and scrape the
burnt portion at your leisure. The food will
not have that disagreeable "scorched taste.
If any of the readers OF this column who
have suffered with chiiblains will try putting
the feet In as hot water can be borne they
will find instant relief. Two applications will
generally effect cure.
will send my recipe for cream layer cake or
jelly roll. use 1t for both and have never
failed with 1t.
Two-thirds of a cup sugar, eggs, yolks and
whites beaten separately. then tos ether, table

Dear Aunt Madge:

Dear Aunt Mddge;
am glad you have introduced the subject Of
school influence. have long wanted TO ask the
question ~ hat does our school board consider
a good moral character In n teacher" Do they
ever ask the question or investigate the subject
DO they know or care that sometimes the
teachers influence tends to undermine the pure
and true home influences in the hearts Of their
pupils Children very readily become attached
to teacher In the schoolrcom, and often their
highest ambition Is to he like her and do as the
teacher does. to keep the same company that
teacher keeps, anu TO use the same langt age out
of school that teacher uses. l hope the sisters
will write on this subject SISTER u.
Dear Sister B:
Next to home influence comes school
influence. 1t seems as though sometimes
the latter supplants the former. When
introduced the ubject OF school influence
| referred to children associating together,
but what you say of the teachers example
is all true. Children do make the teacher
they like, their ideal, and chiidr are
keen discerners of sincerity and OF hypoc-
risy. They may be deceived for time,
but there is something in the honest, inno-
cent soul of child that sees through the
outward form and reads the heart, though
the motive may not be understood.

Leaves the Field.

Leaves the Field.
COLUMBUS, o., April 16.-The Col
umbus Interstate League team played
their first game here yesterday with
Connie Mack's Brewers, of the Amer
lean league. The result was a victory
for Columbus, as Milwaukee left the
field in the first Of the ninth inning
when the score was tie, to 4. There
was paid attendance of 1,2G1, and
about 1,500 saw the game. The
stands are not completed, and the
crowd was scattered over the field. A
ground rule was made that two bases
should be allowed when the ball went
into the crowd in the outfeld.
In the ninth inning, with a runner
on second, Breen, of Columbus, hit a
line drive to the left field which went
into the crowd. The runner on second
scored, but just before he reached the
rubber Anderson fielded the ball to
Smith, who put out the runner. The
umpire declared the runner safe under
the ground rule, which had been adopt
ed. This run tied the score and Column
bus had two men out, but Captain

PLAIN TALK


Every person suffering from ca
tarrh in its many forms, knows
that the common lotions. salves
and douches do not cure. 1t is
needless to argue this point or to
cite cases of failure, because every
victim of catarrhal trouble knows
1t for himself If he has tried them.
A local application, If it does
anything at all, simply gives tenn
porary relief; a wash, lotion, salve
or powder cannot reach the seat OF
the disease which is the blood.
The mucous membrane seeks to
relieve the blood of catarrhal poi
son by secreting large quantities
of mucous, the discharge sometimes
closing up the nostr.ls descending
to the throat and larynx, causing
an irritating cough, continual
clearing of the throat, deafness. in
digestion and many other disagree
able and persistent symptoms.
A remedy to really. cure catarrh
must be an internal treatment; a
remedy which will gradually
cleanse the system from catarrhal
poison and remove the fever and
congestion always present in the
mucous membrane.
The best remedies for this pur-
pose are Eucalyptol, Sanguinaria
and Hydrastin, but the difficulty
has always been to get these val
liable curatives combined in one
palatable, convenient and Efficient
form.
Recently this has been accom-
plished and the preparation put on
the market under the name of Stu
art siCatarrh Tablets; they are large
pleasant tasting lozenges, SO that
they may be slowly dissolved i'll
the mouth, thus reaching every
part of the mucous membrane
and finally the stomach and in
testines.
An advantage to be considered
also is that Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets contain no cocaine, morphine
or poisonous narcotics, so often
found in catarrh powders, and the
use of which often entails a habit
more dangerous than the disease.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold
by druggists at SOC for full sized
package and are probably the
safest and most effectual catarrh
cure on the market.

A MARTINS FERRY MAN
Injured by an Accident
Late Last Night.

James Tannehill of Martins Ferry,
met with very painful accident last
night about 11:30 o'clock, while he was
engaged in his work in the dipping
department of the Laughlin tin plant.
Mr.. Tannehill was walking between
the pots, when his head suddenly came
in contact with beam that supports
the pipes used to take away the fumes.
He was knocked down, and his foot
ran into a pot filled with molten metal
and was badly burned. His head
struck violently against the beam and
he sustained painful cash on his fore
head He was at once taken by his
fellow-workmen to his home on North
First street, where his injuries were
attended by DR.. Williams. His injur-
les while extremely painful, are not
thought to be serious.
Mr.. Tannehill suffered the misfor-
tune of being painfully burned on the
face at the Aetna-Standard about four
years ago. He is well and popularity
known in Martins Ferry and his
speedy recovery will be earnestly
wished for by his many friends.

idly getting things in readiness for the
summer league at Mozart Park, and
indications are that it will be one of
the most successful ever conducted.
Fahey Bros, the South Side contract
ors, have a force of men at work on
the alleys. Lockers are being con-
structed and ball returns changed.
One very important alteration is the
removal of the old side boards. The
old side cushions were too far from
the alleys and did not give much as
sistance, and the change will greatly
increase the scores.
Secretary Handlan will enter all the
teams in the American Bowling Con-
gress and send a weekly report to the
Bowlers Journal of New York, which
paper will publish the scores of the
week. New balls and pins will be fur-
nished by the Crawford, McGregor &
Cauley Co., of Dayton.
All lists must be in this week, as
the league will be organized about the
middle of next week, so as to be In
readiness to start May 18th.

At st. Luke,s.

At the services held at ST. Luke's
Protestant Episcopal church on Easter
Sunday the collection amounted to
$3.50. 1t was one of the largest Easter
offerings that has ever been made at
st. Luke's and is certainly evidence
OF the interest taken by the congrega-
ton in the work Of the church.
The old vestry of St Luke's church
was reelected last evening. The ves-
try is now composed OF nine members,
two having recently removed from the
city. They were Mr.. Gardner. who de-
parted for Newark, o., to reside and
Murray Springer, who left for his new
home in Chicago, Ills. 1t was decid-
ed that the vestry continue with nine
members

The refund literary bureau will have
a hard nut to crack, when it attempts
to explain away the action of the
Health Committee last night, in the
event that it is approved by Council.
1t is evident that a majority OF the
committee are impressed with the
idea that Republicanism is necessary
qualification for a garbage collector,
notwithstanding bids have been adver-
tised for, and clear saving of more
than two thousand dollars could have
been made by accepting the bids of
a responsible citizen, whose misfor-
tune in this instance lies in the fact
that he is on the wrong side of the
political fence.
The Health Committee met last night
to open bids for hauling garbage to
the crematory. The bids offered were
as follows:
William Holmes ...............S12,75 $50
George F. Naber .............. 1880
Lawrence E. Coffey ............ 10,280
Charles Becker ................ l2,400
James Conrad northumberland 10, $50
The figures are for doing the work
for two years. The last contract was
awarded to Holmes & Naber for $10,S00
Both gentlemen bid this time, but sep
arately. They were called before the
committee and asked to explain why
their bids were so largely in excess of
what they received under their last
contract. They explained that the
amount of garbage is increasing and
wages are higher. Mr.. Conrod was
not present, and his bid was not con-
sidered. Mr.. Coffey stated that he
thought he could do the work with
six teams, while the present contrac-
tors estimated that seven teams would
be necessary in winter, and eight in
summer.
Mr.. Watson moved to accept the bid
of Mr.. Coffey, who offered to furnish
a bond through one of the recognized
guarantee and surety companies. The
motion was defeated by a party vote,
as follows:
Ayes-Waterhouse, Watson Weis-
gerber-3.
Noes-List, Williams, Beckett, Meg
rail- Myers.
Mr.. Williams then moved to accept
the bid of Mr.. Becker, and it went
through by party vote. The matter
goes to Council, and it remains to be
seen whether the action of the parti-
san committee will be approved.
Concerning attacks made upon him,
the anti-ring candidate said yesterday:
Il invite the maledictions of the ring
now, as I am opposed to SANDER and
roorbacks at the eleventh hour. If
the leaders come to my sanctum sane
forum and bring their detectives they
may search the secret closets and
bring forth the skeletons, if any there
be; display them upon the house tops,
so that the people may know in time
before they vote, just who this man
Jansen is"
