Boys Growing Into Criminals.

Boys are scarcely to be b AIMED for initiating
men. Many of the latter are setting DANGEROUS
example Robberies, murders and other crimes
are INDUCED in by them. Why should the small
boy not take hand in them, too, in this knowing
age" in which boys regard themselves almost
as soon as they arrive at the age of accountability?
The commission of crime by boys under such cir
cumstances and in such surroundings is not pass.
ing strange. While their youth and the examples
set them excuse them in large measure, and their
violations of law petty yet they should not be
allowed the privilege letting the habit grow upon
them They can scarcely be punished in any
other way than by the parental correction but the
state provides for their reform. If not taken in
hand by the parents, they should be committed to
the Reform School, and the sooner the better for
them There are plenty Of criminals without
rearing more. These boys have started on the
downward road and unchecked they will be IN the
worst criminals lane upon arriving at manhood's
estate. Their future is fearful to contemplate.
Is there none to save them! Clarksburg has a
number of such boys. They should be brought up
in the way they should 60 Why not make OF
them useful men? II parents will not the state
should.

Try the Work-House.

What to do with the professional bum is a
question worthy of earnest consideration by the
eity authorities at the present time. They man
age to get hold ofenough whiskey to get drunk on.
but never have any money when arrested, nor
have they any visible means of support. How
they live is a mystery. How they get their whisky
is still a greater mystery. They are worthless in
every sense of the word They do themselves no
good, nor is anyone benefited by them. They are
practically good for nothing. Hence, we fail to
see the reason for their existence. But they live
on and we have them with US always What shall
we do with them? Imprisonment neither deters
them in the lives they lead, nor corrects them.
Confinement seems to but strengthen their loath
some and debased disposition, and results in no
reform The cost OF Jail sentence is wasted upon
them. The ball and chain method has long since
been numbered in the category OF barbarisms.
The buns we have here could only be induced to
awaken from their lethargy enough to drag balls
and chains around by being prodded with redhot
irons or pitchforks. Their labors on the street
under such system would benefit neither them
nor the city. The working Of prisoners on the
streets has been tried and found woefully inefec.
tive and astonishingly costly. These having failed
it is up to the authorities 10 devise an effective
method. The work house has not yet been tried.
Such an experiment would not be costly and might
prove the right thing, Why n t try ito

Prosperity Teaches a Lesson.

The democratic farmers, who are selling their
coal at Mckinley prosperity prices should SIT
down around their prosperous and happy hresides
and seriously consider their politics few hours
They have spent their lives voting and supporting
the democratic ticket and wasted all their energies
upon fallacious cause However beautiful in
theory the democratic platforms may appear, yet
thew have been conclusively shown impractical
When democratic principles and theories are put
ipto.actual practice they fail The farmer could
scarcely give his coal away under democratic
administration Now he gets almost any price his
conscience will allow him to ask. Such gigantic
activity in coal was never known The democratic
farmer in Harrison county is shrewd and intelli-
gent enough to find the cause for these greatly in
creased prices and extensive demands for coalland
aud he need not go beyond the republican
party and its practical business principles to ar
rive at proper conclusion. The lesson these con.
ditons should teach him is the error of his way,
and he should have the moral courage TO resist
and forsake the democratic politician and cast his
lot with that political party, which is responsible
for the great prosperity at hand

She Took Our Vinol with
Good Results.
WE WANT EVERY ONE TO
KNOW ABOUT IT.
READ WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY.
COME AND SEE US.

We don't want any one in this city
to drag themselves through life in pain
and misery for the want of enough
strength to feel well and happy.
If you feel listless, without ambition
and run down, it is bad sign.
You are running grave chances. You
are in a condition to be attacked by
most any disease.
This feeling of debility is symptom
that your system is generally demoral-
lied. You should take tonic.
You should take Vinol, which we
know and will guarantee will restore
your strength.
Following is one case where it did
this. Mrs. 7. II. Boyle, Of Sc Chestnut
St., West Newton, Mass, says:
Last spring 1 used one bottle Of
vinol. At that time / was all run
down and sick. I find that it did me
lots of good, and by its use my strength
came back to me-
vinol is delicious preparation, con-
tanning the active curative principles
that are found in cod-liver oil, dis
solved in delicate table wine.
Vinol acts directly on the stomach,
aiding digestion and at the same time
creating healthy appetite. 1t gives
strength and vigor to every organ Of
the body.
We endorse VinoI, and guaran.
tee its action, and will gladly
refund to any one who is not
satisfied the money which they
paid for it.

NO RELEASES SIGNED.
Ordinance Providing for Grading of
Streets in Second Ward to Be
Fought in Select Council.

There's going to be a fight made
In select council against the final pass
age Of an ordinance providing for the
grading of certain streets in the Sec
Ond ward, which passed third reading
in common council on Thursday night.
The ordinance in question provides
for the grading Of MCDonouGh ave-
nue. from Cayuga to Laurel streets:
of Beaumont avenue from Cayuga to
Laurel streets; of Perry avenue from
Warren to Oak streets; of Warren
street from Brick to Bloom avenue: of
Laurel street from Perry avenue to
McDonOugh avenue, and of Oak street
from Brick avenue to Leggetts creek.
There is about half mile of road
way in the blocks above mentioned,
and no one, for moment, contends
that it does not need grading. The
trouble is that those behind the scheme
have not gone about ii in the proper
way.
1t is one of the very few grading
| ordinances which have ever been pre-
| sented to councils, without a release
| from damages, signed by all the prop.
| erty owners along the streets to be
graded. No releases have been pre-.
| SeHteu loT lllt Snllple reason tndt tne
| promoters of the ordinance couldn't
begin to get all the property owners
| to sign.
| The ordinance provides that the cos
| Of grading shah he assessed agains
| the abutting property owners accord
ing to benefits" This, it is contendeC
| by those favoring the ordinance, an
swers the same purpose as a release
| The man who might be damaged b!
the grading would not be assessed a
all and the man who might be bene
fitted would be heavily assessed,
The counCilmen opposing the ordin
ance contend that there are bound I,
be suits for damages where no releas
has been signed no matter what wa!
the cost is assessed, and on thi
ground the fight against the measure
is to be made
