Missed His Train.

''Bph" Johnson and Charlie Singer
created quite circus at the depot yes
terday, their funny antics affording
great deal Of amusement to the by
ISLANDERS. Charlie was going to Park
ersburg, presumably to see his lady,
and was in high glee over the prospect
of the trip, while Eph was feeling lit
tie bit down hearted because he could
not go Still he was in good humor and
ready for fun.
About ten minutes before train time
Eph pulled out twenty cents and offer
ed TO bet that against twenty cents of
Singers that Singer wouldn't go to
Parkersburg on that train. Eph
seemed to have a funny idea in his
head and he proceeded to carry 1t out
Singer put up the twenty cents and
both appeared to forget the bet for the
time being, and they capered about
like two monkeys until the train was
about ready to START, when Eph called
Charlie 10 him as though he had some
secret to tell him Getting firm hold
upon Charles lapels, Eph began to
talk to him and when the train bell
rang Charlie started, but Dph held on.
Singer struggled frantically to get
away and finally succeeded and made a
wild dash for the train which was
slowly pulling out of the depot Eph
was at his heels and just as Charlie
was about to jump upon the step, he
was seized by the coat tails and rudely
dragged away, while the train rolled
out into the yards. Eph had carried
ont his idea and won the bet and his
success was greeted by shouts of
laughter from the crowd. Charlie took
his defeat good naturedly and as the
train went around the curve onto But
ler street he pulled himself together
and started down Second street on the
run to catch the hind end. But, alas,
too late.

Take in Time, TOlu-Pine.

That tickling cough will kill in time
II not knocked off with Tolu-Pme.
For hacking coughs that irritate
Tolu-Fine Is the stuff to take.
Say, Tolu-Pine will soon get rid
OF the wheezy cough of the phbhlsls
kid.
To loosen the cough that is hoarse and
tight
Tolu-Pine is always right.
The only good there's in this rhyme
Is to catch and hold your eyes in line,
That you may know that now's the
time
To step that cough with Tolu-Plne.
Coughs that come with a whee-whee-
wheeze
Tolu-Pine gives quickest ease.
Come home, dear father, come home,
When the clock on the college strikes
nine,
And don't fail to bring
One particular thing
That's Richardson's Tolu-Plne.
A bit of doggerel now and then
Gets twisted in a fellows pen
And seems to kink right into rhyme
With-stop that cough take Tolu-Plne,
Price use. Five bottles. 81.

Contractor Charles A. Murphy and
his helper, Wheeler Sagel the men who
did the work on the steepe of the
Catholic church, have left the city and
Mrs. Mary B. Scott, landlady of the
Bradford House, on Ohio street, is
wondering where they are. She has
good reason to be interested in their
whereabouts for she has bill against
them for board, amounting to S114,
with nothing to show for 1t but an Or
der for $56, signed by Murphy and now
in the hands of Father Woesman, of
the Catholic church, according to Mrs.
SCOTS story.
Mrs. Scott says the men came there
several months ago, claiming that they
were from Evansville, and they board
ed at her place while they were at
work on the church steeple.
The bill became larger and larger as
time passed and Mrs. Scott spoke about
settlement to Murphy, who had
agreed to pay for both. He gave an
order on Father Woesman for $50,
which was presented at once. Mrs.
Scott says Father Woesman informed
her that they had drawn all that was
due them, but that he would hold out
$56 from their next pay. They worked
awhile longer, and all last week stay
ed idle at the Bradford House. stating
that they were waiting for settle
ment.
Last Saturday morning they dis
appeared without settling with Mrs.
Scott and when she demanded of Faith
er Woesman the $50 on the order she
says that she was met by the reply
that the men had drawn all that was
due them. Now Mrs. Scott is wanting
justice meted out the proper parties.
1t is supposed that the two went

complexion, clean shaven, and wore
long black coat and small hat. Sag
ell was not so tall, bald headed and
wore brown suit. They are perhaps
thirty-two years Of age.
The authorities have been notified
and are making an effort to catch tht

Fire at the Gas Works.

Monday morning about 1880 the fire
department was called by an alarm
from box 10 to the Marietta Gas Works
on Greene street, near Fifth. The in
side of the building was all ablaze
when they arrived, but by hard work
they finally got the fire under control.
The damage was quite heavy, but the
fire did not interfere with the making
Of gas.
The blaze started from a spark fall
ing in some oil which quickly ignited
and the fire soon spread over the in
side of the building.

A MAN
! LOST

Lost No man understands the full
meaning of that word like the man who
has been lost. He will tell you: "I was
in the woods going ahead steadily when
l realized I'd missed the trail. With a
cry of Lost broke into a run heed
less or ignorant of the direction l was
going"
The first impulse of a man lost in the
woods is TO run. The only safe thing is
to sit right down and reason out the
position
Sometimes business man gets up at the
usual hour, breakfasts, kisses his wife and
starts for the office. He has for some
time seen signs that he was off the trail
of health. To-day the signs multiply.
His brain is dull and dizzy, his heart
does not beat right, his breathing is diff
fcult his limbs feel tremulous. He is
scared. He realizes that he's far away
from the trail of health, and suddenly
like a panther from a tree, the thought
leaps OH him, You are a lost man. !"
The first impulse is to run for help,
though the way is honey-combed with
pitfalls of quackery. But the rational
man faces the facts, sits down and
thinks over the position and its proba-
bilities.
That is the man we want to talk to.

BUSINESS AT LEADING POINTS.

General trade conditions are not ma
terially altered. The spring rush$ls over
in many jobbing lines and retail trade
at various points has been stimulated
by brighter weather.
For Instance. Boston reports that
bright skies have benefited retail trade,
and large sales of sensorable merchan-
disc have resulted. Material improve
ment il noticed in retail dry goods, mill
linery, clothing. hats, caps, boots and
shoes.
In Philadelphia money Is easier at 4
TO AZ per cent. The production of an
thracite coal is being restricted, but.
prices are steady. The iron and steel
situation is unsatisfactory as to new
& business, but structural material mills
have good orders. Machinery and ma
chine TOOL makers have plenty of work.
and the export trade is becoming a large
factor in this market. Ship yards are
increasing force and the Baldwin Loco
