ONE INMATE BURNED
In the Belmont County Infirmary
Fire Thursday Night.

Secretary Rothmier, Of the board 70
directors Of the Belmont county infirm-
airy, stated last evening that probably
one life was lost in the fire at the Jail
Thursday evening, the man being
Robert Merriman, of Bellaire, an old
man who has been at this institution
for some time.
After the fire Mr.. Merriman could
not be found and the prevailing opin-
ion is that he lost his life in the flames.
There were twentysix inmates in this
ward and all were taken out, but dur
ing the confusion it is thought the old
man wandered back into the building
and persisted in the flames.
Mr.. Rothmier stated that to-day
work would be commenced in the
debris to see if any of his remains can
be found. The old man was blind in
one eye, and very deaf, and it is
thought if he was not in the burning
building, that he had wandered away.
He had not returned to Bellaire late
last evening anu the worst is feared.
James H. Burton, superintendent,
stated that those inmates who were
dangerous would be taken to the coun-
ty jail at st. Clairsyille and the Others
would be confined in private rooms.
So far none of tile inmates have given

Gals decide. Two delegates from each
sheet lodge will attend this conference.
The OBJECT is to consider the advis
ability of throwing open the sheet

IS for sheet mills only.

ali the lodges of the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION asking their members to vote

Fhysfcfans in Germany Send Patients
to America for Food.
Two clergymen who went to Ger
many last year for treatment by not
ed specialist were told that they must
use Grape-Nuts, made in America. at
Battle Creek, Mich, for the principal
part of each meal. This suggestion
interested the two divines greatly, for
while they knew of Grape-Nuts and
that there was large use made of .he
food in America, it had never CONS
their way to try it.
A lady in Hedding, N. H., Mrs. Otis
Cole, says the after effect of the grip
was serious gastric and stomach
trouble. All the following summer she
had many attacks OF palpitation of the
heart, nausea, pain, faintness, insom-
MIA. and all the other ills which &C
company impaired nerve force and in
digestion.
She began using Grape-Nuts to
build her up and found at once that
the food created no disturbance and
she began to gain in strength and
courage. In October she went for a
visit and took Grape-Nuts with her to
use each day. She gained 10 pounds
In weight in about four months and
fully recovered her health.
She further says: 'EWhile am now
entirely well, shall probably adhere
to Grape-Nuts during the balance of
my life. My brother-in-law, a prac-
ticing physician, says Grape-Nuts SIM
mered in milk, strained and the clear
liquid given, forms an ideal nourish-
ment in cases of extreme prostration,
and its stimulating effect is noticed
Immediately. A friend of mine, pro-
fessional reader, carries a package of
Grape+Nuts in her handbag, for she
says the exhaustion after an evening S
work, will not admit of iunching on
ordinary food, but Grape-Nuts food
always restores her and leaves no i'll
effects, for the food is so easily di-
gested and Is ready cooked, therefore
a great convenience"

On the evening of January 25th, the
Daughters of the Revolution OF the
State will conduct the annual ball at

arations are being made for the AFFAIR,
as it is the aim OF the ladies in charge
to make the junction one OF the most

will go towards the Valley Forge mon
ument fund. AS is very well known,

the Revolution buried at Valley Forge,
VINO died there in the winter OF no
78 OF Washington's memorable cam
paign. OF this number, only one grave
is marked. The plot of ground is own
ed by Major Toad. He has given it
to the Daughters of the Revolution,
with the stipulation that the entire
order join IN erecting monuments
over the graves by April, 1901. In the
same connection it might also be
stated that an endeavor is being made
to put bill through the Senate to
make Valley Forge a military park.
The monument project, however, does
not in any way hinge upon the passage
of the bill.
= The ball is to be on very elaborate
kscale. Meister's full orchestra has
been engaged to render the programme

floral decorations. and Ziegenfelder
