Good block at Akron.
The company was reorganized with

decided to drill the well at once to

Mr.. N. II. Steiner stated today that
when the Akron Realty Co. and Mr.

allotment, that six big springs on Wit
ner's hill would be utilized as water
supply for the people in that vicinity
He said they proposed building a res
ervoir, into which the water of the
six springs would empty, and ther
pipe the district, which he thinks car
be done with $500. They would need
no pumping station as the natura
pressure would be sufficiently stronl
enough. This would enable the peo
pie to have the use of spring water
cheap, and also make 1t healthy 10
cality to live in.
The merchants at a meeting las

of light has penetrated many darkcncd
chambers where women moaned in mis-
cry, and has guided them out to health
and happiness. uFayorite Prescription
is not tonic, not a palliative, but pos
tive cure for the diseases which are
peculiar to women. II gives vigor and
vitality. It banishes nervousness, head
ache, and all the aches which come from
diseased condition of the wonianly
organs. A temperance medicine, it con-
tains neither alcohol nor narcotics.

ARE BITTER AGAINST GOEBEL
HONEST DEMOCRATS OF KEN
lucky MAKE AN APPEAL.
Are Joined BY Republicans In De-
nouncing the Action Of the Ma
jority In The Legislature.

Louisville, Ky, Jan. 13.-The Repub-
Iican state committee, through its Off
GERS and the organization formed by
disaffected Democrats during the re-
cent campaign, have issued statements
giving their views Of the political sit
uation in this state and calling upon
their constituents for their support The
appeal issued by the honest Demo-
Gratis" says;
The men who in June deprived a
third of the Democrats of Kentucky OF
representation at the Democratic con-
Vention are in January preparing to re-
verse, by the action of the legislature,
the decision of the people made at the
polls. The general assembly of the
sovereign state of Kentucky is subject
to the mere whim and caprice Of one
man, whose orders are issued to your
representatives through a caucus in
undated by force and debased by
tTeacheTy. All Of the rules of evidence
that prevail in civilized communities
have been repealed; every principle of
justice has been repudiated in advance.
THE candidate who was defeated by
a decisive vote, by the 'subserviency of
certain of your representatives and by
the subsection of Others through prom
ice of official spells. has been made the
master OF the legislative department
Of Kentucky. The Democratic party
has been put in possession of an enemy
TO the public peace and a menace to
popular institutions, with a record of
unparalleled outrages during the past
year
I'VE are about to enter upon a ma
tional campaign; the probable leader in
Ia Il
associate and the supporter of the men
who We're repudiated at the polls. He is
TO return next week TO Kentucky to aid
the cOnspiratOrs in driving from office
men who have been elected. The sue
cess Of the schemes already developed
at Frankfort would bury the Demo-
cratic party foT a decade in ignOminy
and popular contempt. The success of
these schemes would be { temporary
surrender of a Republican form of gov
eminent. The future is dark with
threa tened danger Of the gravest char
acter.
IF the people of Kentucky will speak
directly TO their representatives in
commanding tones they may yet save
the state and party from irretrievable
disaster and unexampled disgrace. We
appeal TO you, therefore, TO read in the
record Of the past twelve months. the
dark record of defeat and disaster that
may follow during the twelve months TO
come. IF you are still loyal to the plat
form of 1856 and desire this year to give
your candidate for president the cleo
tOral vote OF Kentucky. you must not
permit the political desperadoes in con-
troll of ,be Democratic caucus at
Frankfort to make the party respon-
sible for the action OF the reckless and
desperate leaders now in control of the
legislature.
The Republican manifesto follows
about the same lines.
