Don't be deceived or humbugged by
people who claim the discovery Of
some hitherto unknown herb or root
in swamps, or on some mountain or
prairie, for the cure Of kidney and
bladder troubles. Any doctor or drug

fraudulent. Foley's Kidney Cure SIM

When Columbus Candidate Stepped
In and Won the Honor.

Marietta, o., Oct. 27.-tspl)-Al
though the nominating committee was
won by the Cleveland delegation and
Mrs. William Murdock, of Akron, was
selected by them, she was defeated
for president of the Ohio Federation of
Women's clubs by Mrs. ]. R. Hopley,
of Columbus.
1t was bitter fight. The name of
Mrs. Murdock was selected by the
nominating committee, and the pres
ident called three times for other
nominations and waited a long while
before some one could present an
other name. The delegates from Gin,
cinnati and the southern part of the
State presented Miss Laws of Cincin-
natl, who refused to accept the place
as candidate against Mrs. Murdock.
They then nominated Mrs. Hopley,
who was absent from the meeting.
She came in while the vote was be,
ing taken, and wanted to withdraw,
but the Cincinnati and Columbus del
egations Joined forces and induced her
to remain in the race, with the result
of her election on the first ballot.
The report of the committee on Gre
dentials showed that of 257 clubs in
the State Federation. over 200 were
represented at this meeting. which is
an extra large pro ratio as compared
with other meetings. The retiring
officers turned everything over to the
new officers, who were introduced and
installed and the convention closed af.
ter returning public thanks to Mari
eta and her citizens for the excellent
manner in which they had been en-
tertained.
The officers finally elected were as
follows: President, Mrs. ]. r. Hopley,
Columbus; vice president, Mrs. I. B.
Bosworth, Marietta; recording secre-
tary, Mrs. Frank Kraft, Cleveland;
corresponding secretary, Mrs. J. NJ.
Mulford, Columbus, treasurer. Mrs. A.
r. Broomhall Troy; auditor, Miss Ella
NJ. Haas, Dayton. Columbus, Spring
field, Akron, Troy and Cleveland, are
after the next convention, but the Sc
lection of a place was left with the
Executive committee. who will make
the selection and announce it later.
The meeting closed last night is said
by all to he the largest ever held in
point of attendance and most encour,
aging in every way.

stream of winter visitors have flown to-

until they have built up real city amid
the long leaf pines, and as the trains pass
Southern Pines, (the Yankee town., as 1t

Its citizens, passengers crowd to the doors
to see the wonderful growth of this beauti-

A large number of those going out from
this section, travel via the Merchants and
Miners line of steamers, which give them
delightful and healthful voyage. Those
who have gone that route, say they prefer
it to an all rail route, as there Is no dust
and dirt to contend with.
At Southern Pines there Is one fruit or

contains over one hundred thousand fruit

CHEAP SpONGES.

Sponges sold by the street fakir are
rather captivating in appearance. large

from 5 to 10 cents each. People who
have bought sponges at drug store
know that no such looking articles can
be got there for so little money. and so
they invest. But they don't invest
more than once. because the sponge
soon falls to pieces. whereas good
sponge will last for years
Somebody started a story years ago
that the reason the fakirs could sell
these sponges so cheaply was because
they bought them from the hospitals.
and there are some people who still be-
lieve it. AS if men devoting all their
energies and skill to ameliorating the
ills of mankind would spread disease
by distributing old and possibly germ

Cowardfce of Sharks

Many tales have been told Of how
human beings have been devoured by
the fish that is Known as the man
eater" Although many of these have
been greatly exaggerated, they are to
a certain extent true. 1t is also true
that sharks have been known to follow
ship for days, picking up and eating
that which had been thrown overheard
as waste.
Notwithstanding all this the coward
Illness of sharks is well known among
men who have been much to sea in
southern waters. The fiercest shark
will get out Of the way of swimmer
if the latter sets up noisy splashing.
A shark fears anything that splashes
in the water. Among the south sea is
lands the natives never go bathing
alone, but always in parties of half a
dozen or so, in order that they may
make great hubbub in the water and
thus brighten away the sharks. Once
in awhile a too venturesome swimmer
among these natives foolishly detaches
himself from his party and forgets to
keep up his splashing. Then there is a
swish. and the man eater comes up
from under him like flash, and he is
gone,

Likewise Mistaken.

A small boy was fishing on Sunday
morning. He had a basket of fish
alongside of him. A clergyman hap
pened to see him, and, going over to
where he was busily watching the bob,
said:
"You naughty, cruel boy! Don't you
know that it is a sin to fish on the Sab
bath? Besides the sin, think of the
cruelty of it-taking the poor little
worm out of the ground and sticking
that nasty sharp hook through it's
body"
THAT amt no worm. That's an ar
tificial fly!' answered the boy.
'Ah, I was Mistaken said the
preacher.
$50 were these fish," said the boy,
picking up the basket and showing
them to the clergyman.-New York

The first exhibition of the Tolland
County East Agricultural society last
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday was
success, and big one. Fixing upon a
day near the middle of November for an
agricultural fair is, to say the least, risky.
| 1t Is less than four weeks since the idea
of fair this fall was first talked of, and
the first meeting to arrange for 1t was
held on the evening of Oct. 10th, at which
less than dozen persons we're present.
The society was organized OH the evening
of Oct. 10Th, and voted to proceed to hold
due to the energetic efforts of the officers
elected, particularly to the president.
The weather, first in Importance, was fine
for the season, cool, but not uncomfort-
able. At an early hour people, and arti-
Giles to be exhibited, began to gather in.
| The fair was held in the new building of
Crawford & Banford on River street, the
cattle show on the Springs House grounds
fair was opened by brief but excellent
address by the president of the society,
Hon. E. II. Hyde. Immediately after
the address the work of the fair began

exhibition of articles pertaining to it.
Contrary to general expectation good
show of fruit was made. Next year, with
more time to get ready, two days to ex
hibit, and officers benefited by this years
experience, something better may be ex
pected. The show of cattle was the best
that we ever saw at a county fair. The
