Awaiting the Bonds

Mr.. Cook, the water works con-
tractor, is ready to push work on the
plant, the council is ready, and every
thing is waiting for the bonds.
The order for the iron and the pipe
and machinery will be filled the
m oment the bonds have been completed
and received the approval of the pur-
chasers. Mr.. Cook has started some
of the work that frost would delay de-
spite this contingency and will push
other portions as fast as possible.
AS stated in the council minutes, he
has arranged for the employment
of men for ten hours at fifteen cents
an hour and the excavating and con-
crete work will be completed as soon
as possible. He saw the labor COM
missioner and the attorney general
and has done everything to avoid
trouble in the matter of departing
from the eight hour law and it is inn
probable that there will he any local
Objection either among the men en-
ployed or among the citizens gem

of getting through before the ground

AN ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.
Screen Torn Out But RObber is Scared
Away by a Shot From a
Revolver.

The Lands home on south Buckeye
street seems to have been chosen by
the burglar fraternity of this city as a
good place to work, as there was a
small theft there some months ago and
another attempt Monday night.
Miss Winifred Lands was awakened
by noises around the house but thought
it was loose horse who makes a
practice of wandering over the walks
and brushing against the house. The
noise kept her awake and she was soon
startled by seeing a man in u crouch
ing position pass her window. She
quickly summoned the family, and
Mr.. Smith who rooms in the house,
took his revolver and went down
stairs. All seemed quiet and the ladies
returned up stairs and Mr.. Smith
stood guard.
He heard the burglar working at
the kitchen door as he thought and
fired IA 3S-revolver right through it,.
There was thump and scamper
and Mr.. Smith hurried outand around
the house. He had fired through the
wrong door as the burglar had torn
out the screen and lowered the window
of corner room. His foot marks
were plainly visible but he had van
ished when Mr.. Smithand his revolver
appeared.
MIR. Rogers, who also rooms at the
house, slept biissfully throughout the
battle, but hereafter the whole family
intends carrying arms and all burg
lars will be warmly received.

SHIT for BODILY Injuries.

A suit for 81, 800 was filed in district
court late Thursday afternoon by
Joseph Hardesty against the American
Construction Company which is build
ing the cement plant. Mr.. Hardesty
worked for the company and while
helping unload pipe from a cattle car
was injured on the hip by a heavy
pipe rolling against him. He has
been laid up since and says he paid
$50 for medical attendance, lost $3.50
by having to quit work, and was per-
manently disabled. So he Jumped
the whole injury at 81, 800 which cuts
under the $1,000 mark and compels
trial in the district court. He says
the company showed lack of care in
the work, had too few men doing that
particular work and that the foreman
allowed it to be done in a
careless manner"

Block of Cement Walk.

Work began Monday of lay
ing the cement walk in front of the
north block on the west side of
the square. 1t extends from West
street to Jackson avenue and then
west to the alley, all cement and twenty
feet wide on the avenue. Crushed
rock forms the foundation and above
this will be put layer of finer
rock and cement. The curbing is
also of cement and will be put in
first and shaped between upright
boards. An engine and machine mix
err to prepare the concrete has been
hauled to the place and the work will
be done quickly. In digging up the
roots of one of the trees the old curb
ing was found firmly imbedded among
the tangle.

MORTON REPLIES TO BRYAN.

During his recent tour of Nebraska,
william j. Bryan said nothing about
free silver, very little abouteXpansion,
but talked mostly of trusts. When he
reached Nebraska City, where the
chief manufacturing industry is q
starch plant, he delivered "A lengthy
speech against trusts and more par
ticularly the starch trust"

Noses Kingston was arraigned i'm
Judge Potter's court last week and
fined five dollars and costs for whip
ping his little eight year old
daughter with buggy whip. Moses
lives in a tent in the southeast part
OF town and has only resided here a
short time. He works at odd Jobs and
at the factories and ordinarily, so far
as is known here, is "a fairly decent
human speciman, but when he gets
angry he has no sense of the proprie-
ties. The little girl angered him in
some way one evening and he
proceeded to whip her cruelty with a
buggy whip, so tie court decided from
the witnesses, and he was fined for it.
The little girl and her mother were in
court and heavy welts on the child's
body showed plainly that the story of
the defendant that she fell down and
hurt herself was trumped up.
Kingston refused to pay his fine,
declared he would end his days in jail
first, but after being locked up siN

PAPERlOF ALLEN COUNTY
IMPERIALlSTIC TRAVELLING.

New York Tribune: One of the
funniest things in this Presidential
campaign is the wild outburst of wall
ing and crashing of teeth because
Colonel Bryan was not permitted to
hitch his private palace car to GER
tain limited train on a West Virginia
railrond, but had to leave that select
and exclusive vehicle and travel in an
ordinary Pullman coach. A ire
mendous ado was instantly raised
about it by his Jealous press agents.
and it was made to appear that the
cpl sode was another act in thetragedy
OF "crucifying the people upon a cross
of gold" For, of course, it was the
work of Republican trnst. 1t was
probably directly ordered by Mark
Hanna himself. 1t was, so to speak,
one of the tentacles of monopolistic
octopus thus seized the private car in
its hideous grasp, switched it upon
a sidetrack and compelled the cham
pion of the people to ride in ian
ordinary car"
Now, the fun of the thing is twofold.
In the first place, it turns out that the
railroad in question is what may be
called a Democratic road. 1t is chiefly
owned and managed, that is to say,
by staunch and loyal Democrats, who
it is assumed. will vote for the man
whose private ear they so unfeelingly
sidetracked. In view oi that fact the
Republican octopus seems 10 be-with
apologies to Boyle Roche-a horse of
another color. 1t really will not do,
you know, to assume that every trust
is a Republican institution, else where
would Brother Bub's Ice Trust be:
And if Democratic magnates see fit,
for business or any other reason, to
deny favor to their own candidate
for the Presidency, why men and
brethren, it certainly does not seem in
accord with the eternal verities to
throw the blame for it upon Mark
Hanna or upon the Presidents Philip
pine policy.
But the other part of the fun is per-
haps better still. For, mark you, the
burden of the complaint is that Mr.,
Bryan was compelled, if he wanted to
travel on that railroad, to do so in an
ordinary car. This hOrny-handed son
of toll, this plain man of the the peo-
pie, this advocate of Jeifersonian sim
plicity, this innexible foe of fuss and
fummery was actually compelled to
emerge from the sequestered recesses
of a private coach and to ride in a
plain, every day car along with other
people. How utterly revolving. If il
had been Mark Hanna, now, or that
wicked and naughty imperialist,
William Mckinley, it wouldhave beer
all right. Their feelings would moi
have been Jared in the slightest
But that this unassuming Democrat
this combined reincarnatiou of Cincin
natus, Thomas Jefferson and Solor
Chase, should be compelled to jostlC
elbows with his fellow citizens ant
ride in San ordinary car" with othel
people-at thought of that the nindre
coils and the heart sickens.

NO ARGUMENT NEEDED.
Every Sufferer From Catnrrh Knows
That SaIves, Lotions, washes,

every Sufferer From Cntarrh Know
That SaIves, Lotions, Washes
Sprays and Douches Do Not Cure.
Powders, lotions, salves, sprays
and inhalers cannot really cure
Catarrh, because this disease Is a
blood disease, and local applica-
tons, if they accomplish anything
at all, simply give transient relief.
The catarrhal poison is in the
blood and the mucus membrane OF
the nose, throat and trachea tries
to relieve the system by secreting
large quantities of mucus, the dis
charge sometimes closing up the
nostrils, dropping into the throat,
causing deafness by closing the
Eustachian tubes. and after a time
causing catarrh of stomach or seri-
GUS throat and lung troubles.
A remedy to really cure eatarrh
must be an internal remedy which
will cleanse the blood from ca
tarrhal poison and remove the fever
and congestion from the mucous
membrane.
The best and most modern RENE
dies for this purpose are antisep-
tics scientifically known as Euca-
lyptol, Guaiacol, Sanguinaria and
Hydrastin, and while each of these
have been successfully used sepa-
rately, yet it has been difficult to
get them all combined in one palat-
able, convenient and efficient
form.
Tho noanufo cturarc os tba nayv
catarrh cure, Stuart's Catarrh Tab
let's, have succeeded admirably in
accomplishing this result. They
are large, pleasant tasting loZenges,
TO be dissolved in the mouth, thus
reaching every part OF the mucous
membrane of the throat and finally
the stomach.
Unlike many catarrh remedies,
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain no
cocaine, opiate or any injurious
drug whatever and are equally
beneficial for little children and
adults.
Mr.. c. r. Rembrandt, of Roches-
ter, N. Y, says: 81 know of few
people who have suffered as much
as | from Catarrh of the head,
throat and stomach. used sprays,
inhalers, and powders for months
at a time with only slight relief
and had no hope of cure. l had
not the means to make change OF
climate, which seemed my only
chance of cure.
Last spring read an account OF
some remarkable cures made by
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and
promptly bought fifty cent box
from my druggist and obtained
such positive benefit from that one
package that | continued to use
them daily until l now consider
myself entirely free from the dis
gushing annoyance Of catarrh; my.
head is clear, my digestion all L
could ask and my hearing, which
had begun to fail as a result of
the catarrh, has greatly improved
until | feel I can hear as well as
ever. They are household neces-
sity in my family"
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are sold
by druggists at so cents for COM
plete treatment and for conven-
fence, safety and prompt results
they are undoubtedly the long look
ed for catarrh cure.

tomorrow afternoon.
1t is said the trouble between the
c. & P. railroad and the National Glass
Company has been settled and that the
work on the new addition will be
pushed rapidly.
The Elks are making great prepara-
tons for their event here next Wednes-
day and many visiting Elks will be in
attendance. The Bellaire boys know
how to entertain.
The way the street cars run in this
city is certainly very annoying and
especially uncertain. To an observer,
it looks as if they had no schedule and
ran just as they pleased.
The citizens of Bellaire are at a loss
to know why their population is not
greater, and it surely is puzzling, as
there are more dwelling houses in the
city than in 1890; more business
houses and a constant demand for
dwelling houses. How, then, does it
come that the population has not in
creased? A great many think there
has been a mistake, either in 1890 or
the last census. GAINESVILLE, Bellaire,
Bridgeport and Martins Ferry have
population of 24,906, which is less than
Wheeling, whose population is 1856.
Add to this Steubenville, with 14,349,
and the Ohio side is still short by 291.
It looks rather odd that these five
towns and cities are not equal to
Wheeling, although the Ohio towns
cover much more territory, probably
double.

the jury, and its verdict was approved by
the judge. At the beginning of the trial
the burden was upon the State to show 70
the exclusion of all reasonable doubt that
an offense had been committed, and that
Colts is the guilty party. After pro-
tracted, fair and impartial trial these two
propositions were determined against him.
1t is now incumbent upon Colts to show I
least to a reasonable certainty that he Is
not guilty. From the nature of things, we
must yield great respect to the Judgment
of the court, and particularly So when
that Judgment is based upon the verdict
of jury, which is founded largely upon
differences, deductions, circumstantial evil
dence and the credit OF witnesses involved
Throughout the defendants trial, the jury
looked him in the face, as did the court.
The court and jury had all the witnesses,
both for and against him, before them.
They had a decided advantage over US,
and possessed such opportunities as we
cannot have. Many facts and circum-
stances which from the nature of things
cannot be reproduced, exercise upon the
resolving a. question involved in contro-
Versy and doubt.
I'VE regret to have to make the recon-
mendation we do in this case, but see but
one course to pursue. The Governor is

MUSICAL.

The active members of the Women's
Musical Club assembled yesterday at
A. o. U. w. hall and elected officers for
the ensuing term as follows: President,
Mrs. George B. Caldwell; Vice Rresi-
dent, Mrs. Dr. F. J. Hupp; Secretary,
Miss Dee Pollack; Treasurer, Miss
Teresa Phillips. A programme COM
mittee was also chosen.
The reelection of Mrs. Caldwell as
President was an honor worthily be-
slowed, for she has ever had the best
interests of the organization at heart,
but was against her expressed wishes,
as she was much inclined to give over
the duties of the Office to other hands
for reasons amply sufficient. The
membership of the Club recognized
Mrs. Caldwell's right to decline. and
yet was very strongly disposed TO re-
elect her, and in doing this arranged
to tighten the work which would
otherwise deyoIve upon her By adding
Vice President to the list OF officers
and filling it wisely as indicated above.
Mrs. Hupp will make an admirable ex-
ecutiye officer. The reelection OF Miss
Dee Pollack as Secretary was a matter
OF course. She has filed the office
since the inception Of tAesClub to the
complete satisfaction of the member
ship. and will continue her efficient
work during the coming term Miss
Phillips will discharge the duties OF
her Office faithfully and well. The or
ganization is in prosperous condition
and It's large membership is enthusiast
tic in the work in hand. May the
Women's Club live long and prosper.

Here When Navigation is Opened.

Here When Navigation is Opened.
PITTSBURG, Nov. ia great pro-
cession Of steamboats, will leave Pitts
burg for the south upon the opening Of
navigation, and the sight viii be one
worth seeing. The Monongahela River
Consolidated Coal and Coke Co. has
completed arrangements for shipping
the 30,000,000 bushels of coal waiting
TO be shipped to southern markets.
1t was stated at the Office of the COM
pany this morning that at least so
towboats will be engaged in the work.
as soon as there is water. and the pros
pect Tor a rise is most encouraging.
A number of pool boats viii be sent
to Cincinnati and Louisville, and while
these are not of as great power as the
ones used in the river trades, they viii
be pressed into service IL order that the
depleted condition OF the coal markets
may be replenished as rapidly as pos
sible. The combination expects TO have
a number of lows of coal delivered at
New Orleans thirty days after the pro-
duct leaves here, so that if there is a
rise by Thanksgiving, which is almost
absolutely certain, coal will reach New
Orlenas by Christmas, which is the
usual time to commence deliveries
\ there.
The boats will be started south from
the Davis Island dam in the order in
which they lay along both banks of the
ONO and Monongahela rivers. This viii
save confusion and crowding and in a
measure prevent accidents. There is
more coal loaded than ever before but
1t will require every boat that can be
spared to make at least three trips to
tow all of the product south.
