caused the stencil In the dining room
that had been 80 disastrous to the
stomachs OF the commissioners. He
said that IL emanated from the dish
cloths that had been hung about the
range. They had been used a lone
time "and you know how such rags
SMELL" said he, especially when they
get warm and scorched a little."
These rags must have been in the
dining room at the time others visited
the place, as the stencil has been there
for months, according to the testimony
of those who have been through the
room.
The law makes It the duty Of the
county commissioners to visit the in
firmary every six months and make a
report. The object of the law which
requires the visit is that the public
may be kept informed as to the condi-
ton of things. The commissioners are
required not only to make report
but make 1t part of the public rec
ords.
Mr.. Reese stated that they wanted
to meet the commissioners and talk
the matter over with them, and his
manner of saying it indicated that they
would resent the reports made.

FOR SHOOTERS.
New Years viii be Celebrates
at the Lakeside Gun Club
Grounds,

The Lakeside gun club intends to
give sports chance for little after
season shooting on New Years day. II
has arranged for an all-day's shoot at
the club grounds. The events will be
shot off without regard to weather con-
ditions, as there is shed to protect the
shooters and a comfortable club house
in which to thaw out.
In the morning i've sparrows will
be shot at. The events will be sweep
stakes and it is expected that there will
be a large number of participants. In
the afternoon there will be number
of clay bird events for turkeys. The
conditions of some Of the shoots will
be novel and will not be announced
until after the shooting iis over. The
low gun in these special events is just
as likely to get the gobbler as the
high man. Everybody is invited to at
tend and take part in the shoot.

For Tired Eyes,

Eyes will be greatly strengthened by
putting the face down into a glass or
eyecup Of water the first thing in the
morning and opening them under wa.
ter. This is somewhat difficult to do
at first, but II the water for two or
three days be tepid and gradually made
colder by imperceptible degrees until
1t is no shock to put the face into quite
cold water 1t will soon become quite
easy and is very invigorating and re-
freshing.
If done regularly every day, this
treatment alone will preserve the sight
into quite old age. There is a right
and wrong way of wiping the eyes
after this. too, and the right way Is to
pass the soft towel very gently from
the outer angle inward toward the
nose.
If after a long day the eyes feel so
hot and tired that they seem dim when
one tries to read or to do little neces-
sary sewing for oneself, they should be
bathed with cold tea from which the
leaves have been removed.

new COURT HOUSE.
Plan on Foot to Have One In
Summit County--WiiI Hold
Special Election.

Akron, O., Dec. 23.-It is said that
the county commissioners are about
ready to again take up tho question
of new court house for Summit
county. The one that is now in use
was built sixty years ago. It is not
only out of date. but there is not a
county Office that has enough room
for its work.
A new jail is now being built on the
court house lot. 1t is planned to locate
the rev court house in a corresponding
place on the opposite side Of the lot.
This can be done without interfering
with the present building. The cost
will be limited to 100000 and plans
will be submitted by competition.
The present scheme 10 get the voters
to authorize the building Is to hold a
special election to issue bonds. 1t is
believed that only those in favor of the
plan would vote. This may be done
few days before the regular spring
election.

Few Americans are aware OF the fact
that the name of their continent Is due
to a German scholar. In 1907 Martin
Waldseemuller, also known as Hyla-
comylus, of st. Die, in the vosges,
edited a book called "Cosmographie
Introductio," in which he gave n trans.
lation of Amerlgo Vespuccfs descrip-
ton Of his voyages.
That was just the time when Ameri-
go's fame filed the world, while Colum-
bus disgrace overshadowed his merit,
and evidently his name had never
reached the quiet village In the Vosges
when Amerigo trumpeted forth his own
glory. So Hylacomylus proposed that,
since the new continent was, after all,
not n part Of the Indies, no name would
suit 1t better than that Of his famous
explorer, Amerigo.
The book was read far and wide, and
SO quickly was the proposition accepted
that, when later on the true discoverer
was known, the name was already
rooted too deeply in general use to
be abolished. and was even extended
to the north part of the continent, while
Hylacomylus had only meant it for
the present South America.-Nationai

FOUR IMMENSE
BOILERS EXPLODE
Wreekins Big Steel Plant and
Destroying Contiguous Prop
erty--Bodies Being Taken
from Debris.

Pittsburg, Dec. 20.-Four large boilers
exploded in the Black Diamond Steel
works here this morning, killing ten
men outright and injuring a score
more.
The building is completely wrecked
and its contents destroyed. There is
not straight piece of iron left in
the entire building.
One OF the boilers went through Park
Brothers mill and crashed into the
Mcneil plant adjoining.
Another of the boilers went across
Thirtieth street and wrecked the resi-
dence OF Robert Price at No s Thir-
tieth street. IT crashed through the
front wall of the house and fell into
the basement. The Price family was
asleep at the time but all miraculously
escaped injury.
This terrible fatality eclipses even
the horrible holocaust of Thursday
morning. 1t is impossible to learn the
extent of the lives lost until the wreck
age has been removed. The crushed
and bleeding forms Of the Victims as
soon as reclaimed from the debris are
removed to the West Pennsylvania
hospital, which is taxed to its utmost
