ing OF wind storm is given. the circus
is able to remove its meDsgeries ana
elephants to a point OF safety and
lower the city of tents. But should ~
be apparent that the storm would
strike the tents in ten or fifteen min
utes. all lights are extinguisied, the
elephants only are taken from the
menageries. and the canvas is lowered
on top OF the cages and the seats. The
elephants are taken to tne open for the
reason that they have a terror OF storms
and would undoubtedly wreck every
thing If they ever started on ram
page.
The greatest danger, and the one con-
stantly feared by the circus man, Is the
clear-sky hurricane, resulting from
cyclonic conditions in the air. THESE
come without warnings. The sky may
be perfectly clear, when all at once
terrific wind will sweep the country,
especially in the Western States. In
such CAGES it IL the first duty and all
important duty Of every circus attaehe,
high-salaried or small-wage to lower
the chandeliers in all haste and extin-
guish the flame.

mont County Metropolis.
u. & o. Changes.

Rumors were current in business cir
cles last night that the u. & O. mad de-
cided to abandon their transfer at Ben
wood Junction and bring it to this city,
where they will erect an immense freight
house TO be used jointly with the G., L.
& w. (now owned by them) and the
Adena line, that will likely use the 3.
Il O. tracks to st. Ciairsville. This
move. if consummated, will be of great
Importance to this city. as ii will cause
all their employees to move to this side.
The agent at this place, Mr.. Cyrus
Strahl. could not confirm or deny the
report last evening, as he has as yet
received no notification of the change.
The company owns several excellent
sites for any building they may desire
TO construct. Engineers have surveyed
and staked the line for dauble track
to st. Clairsvile Junction. 1t Is
thought that the Adena line will use
the line from st. Clairsville to Bellaife.
Color has been added to this idea during
the past few days, as several officers o.
the b. & O. have gone over this line
with parties interested in the Adena
line. No doubt this arrangement could
be maze, as the traffic on the st. Glars
vile branch is very light.

What We Eat

Is intended to nourished and sustain us,
but it must be digested and assim-
lated before it can do this. In other
words, the nourishment contained in
food must be separated by the diges-
tive organs from the waste materials
and must be carried by the blood TO
all parts of the body. We believes the
reason for the great benefit which so
many people derive from Hoods
Sarsaparilla lies in the fact that this
medicine gives good digestion and
makes pure, rich blood. 1t restores
the functions of those organs which
convert food into nourlshment that gives
strength to nerves and muscles. 1t
also cures dyspepsia, scrofula, salt
rheum, boils, sores, pimples and erup-
tons, catarrh, rhematism and all dis
eases that have their origin in i'm
pure blood.
