Unique Marriage Ceremony.

Steubenville, O., May 29.-Thomas
r. Jenkins, Jr., a 23 year old iron work
er of Leechburg, Pa, and Miss Lille
B Spang, of the same place, were mar
ried yesterday by Squire Kithcart. Tho
groom is deaf and dumb and the cere-
mony was out of the ordinary. The
squire wrote the questions of the mar
riage service on a sheet of paper and
the groom responded in like manner.
The bride explained matters to the
groom in sign language as the cero-
mony proceeded. When they left the
Office her fingers were working like
lightning, and the groom was smiling.

TAX COLLECTOR GONE

New Cumberland, w. Va. May 90
Arthur Cuppett a tax collector for Han
cock county has been absent from his
home for several days. Considerable
mystery has been attached to his dis
appearance. A number of his friends
are exceedingly anxious as to his
whereabouts. 1t has now been learned
that Cuppett took with him all the
check stubs, vouchers and warrants
which would be of benefit to the county
in settling up his affairs. Cuppett's
friends state, however, that his books
will not show any shortage and that
self from all blame.

TWO ROUTES
FOR A ROAD
Electric Line From Mas
sillon to Mansfield.
WOOSTER ON Line
Work Of Securing Right Of Way
to Begin at Once--The
Headquarters In
CIeveIan

At Columbus Friday, T. X. Dissette,
c. V. Hard, F. NJ. Kirk and A. M. Par
rish incorporated the Massillon, Woos-
ter and Mansfield railway company
with a capital stock of 10000. The
road, the articles of incorporation state,
is to be operated by electricity and the
headquarters to be in Cleveland.
A. M. Parrish, one of the incorpora-
tors, when seen by the Wooster Re-
publican reporter, said that the road
had been under consideration for some
time, and that If it was now incorpor-
ated the work of securing the right-of-
way would begin at once. There are
two routes from Massillon to Mansfield
in prospect, both of which take In
Wooster. One of them goes through
North Lawrence, Orrville, and the other
along the state road through Dalton,
possibly Applecreek, and the thickly
inhabited country out that way. From
Wooster to Mansfield the road is to go
either through Ashland or Shreye,
Lakeville, Loudonville, and other
towns along the line. The right-of-
way is regarded as one of the most
desirable for an inland trolley line in
the state of Ohio, all the territory be-
ing well inhabited and capable of sup
porting such line il good shape.
F. NJ. Kirk, of Cleveland, who is the
largest stockholder, is a very wealthy
man, and is director of the Colonial
bank of that city, which recently in
creased its capital stock to $3,000,0 900.
The reason the company has two
routes in prospect, is that, while 1t
has, perhaps, some preference for one
over the other, 1t may be that the one
it would choose would not be accept
able to the people along the route, in
which event it would be given up and
the other selected. The $4,000 incor-
poration is, of course, only nominal
sum and made for the purposee of in
corporation. 1t will be increased,
shortly.
This is not the line for which sur
veying has been done lately, and which
has been going the rounds of newspaper
gossip.

HORRIBLE
CONDITION
The Lungs of Cows Full
Of TubercuIi.
The MILK GLANDS
Were Also Badly Diseased
People Invited to Bow
man Office to View
the Organs.

The twelve cows recently tested by
Veterinary Surgean A. T. Bowman for
tuberculosis were killed by him Tues
day morning and their bodies turned
over to the fertilizer works to be work
ed through their large dteam vats,
which will destroy all the germs of the
disease. In order that the public and
the physicians of this community may
be enlightened as to the truth of the
statement that the cows were
VICTIMS OF CONSUMPTION,
DR.. Bowman brought the lungs of five
of the diseased animals to his Office
where they can be seen by any one VINO
calls. The medical profession is as
pecially requested to cali and see the
organs.
A News-Democrat reporter went to
the doctors Office shortly after noon
Tuesday and examined the lungs. Their
condition was something unspeakable.
There was hardly square inch of
healthy tissue in any of the lungs.
There was a mass of large tubercles
and diseased glands, full of

that squirted out when pressure was
applied. 1t was nauseating and SICK
ening to the onlooxer. Glands that
normally are about the size of hick-
orynut were enlarged to the size of a
cocoanut, the windpipes were full of
corruption and every bit of tissue SEEM
ed to be infiamed.
The doctor stated also that the lac
teal glands which secrete the milk
were also badly diseased and
FULL OF ABCESSES
| resulting from the contagion. The liv-
er of one of the cows was also exhibit
ed and showed the same diseased COLI
dition. One large abcess extended
clear through the organ and there
were other smaller ones all over the
surface.
! A great many persons visited the Of
fee of the doctor and examined the
evidences of disease, some of the
cows killed were still in good flesh and
all were giving milg. 1t is evident
that no other test could have revealed
the true condition of the animals,
though all were affected with cough.

PERFORMS BRAVE FEAT.
Jumps In Water With Overcoat and
 Shoes and Selzes Torpedo.

New York, November 25.-Charles Bergh. boatswain of the submarine tor pedo boat Fulton, performed a most re- marlxable feat of daring at New Suffolk, L. L
 It was shortly after he left the Fulton, after being under water in the submarine boat all night. A severe gale was raging and the tide was so high that there was three feet of water in the streets of New Suffolk Three large sloops had been driven ashore before the gale. and the crowd of spectators on the Holland Tor pedo Company's wharf noticed what ap- peared to be large pile driving toward the c. B. Bransford. Sr, one of the sloops that was ashore. The Fulton's crew recognized that the drifting object was whitehead torpedo dummy, weigh ing 800 pounds. They saw it when 1t WAS less than fifty feet from the sloop, which 1t would have completely wrecked. Bergh, though hampered by his overcoat and rubber boots, jumped overheard, fought his way to the torpedo and reach ed it in time to prevent 1t from striking the Bransford. He steered it away to the shore. where it was hauled from the water. It had been hoated from the wharf by the high tide.

COFFEE IMPORTER. Tells Some Plain Facts.

One of the heaviest i'm mporters of coffee in America, and who requests that his name be kept from the public in connec- tion with the following subject because of the effect it would have on his business. says: q have used coffee for over thirty five years, but about year ago was compelled to discontinue its use on ac- count of its effect on my health. Since that time have used nothing in its place but Postum Cereal Food Coffee and properly prepared, 1t Is simply delicious with cream and sugar.
 ''In connection with this I have also used Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food. While in Florida this winter I carried pack age with me all the time, so if I was unable to get what I wanted for break fast I could rely on my own supply.
 Any one who could have known of my condition year ago, and the very great improvement now, would have no cause to question the wisdom of my change from the old fashioned diet to the pres ent''
 This man is one of the best known cof- fee experts in the world, and his testi- mony regarding the flavor of Postum Cereal Food Coffee is noteworthy.
 Now and then person gets Postum Food Coffee served under-boiled and con- seouently almost tasteless chemical change takes place in Postum after it has been actively boiled for 12 or 15 minutes; this change brings out the food value and the delicious taste. It does not answer to simply leave it on the stove for 15 minutes, it must stand on the stove until boiling commences, then be allowed to bubble 15 minutes
 A piece of butter twice the size of a pea should be put in the pot to keep 1t from boiling over.
 Many man or woman continues in a half sick state from month to month, not knowing that the drug in the coffee they use is the cause; try leaving off coffee and using Postum Food Coffee. That change has worked salvation for many skeptical sick ones.
