500 REWARD, 500.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that Is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting di-
rectly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as
sisting nature In doing it's work. The
proprietors have so much faith in its
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that il
fails to cure. Send for list Of testi-
monials.

WALKED IN WATER
And Thus Eluded the Hounds.

Findlay, March 17.-Charles Royal,
suspect arrested by the police yester-
day made startling confession to
Chief of Police Ramsey. He stated
that he was until year ago market
gardener in Batavia, N. Y, and that
in a quarrel with his wife last August
he struck her a blow that had caused
her death. For months he has fled
the police. 60
He claims that at Toronto, Canada
he was discovered by the police and
hunted for three days by officers and
dogs, but that he eluded then and
got away by walking in the shallow
waters at the edges of streams for
almost a week. Since then he has
been lodging about the country.
The strain is too much, he says
and he is willing to suffer punishment
The fellow is in a state of nervous
collapse and is being held for develop
ments. A memorandum book in his
possession indicates that his name
may be Rollo instead Of Royal.

A DANGEROUS HABIT.

People are given to the custom when
having trouble with the eyes of calling
upon some jeweler or party calling
himself Graduate Optician-Glasses
fitted scientifically" or he may 20 so
far as to call himself Eye Specialist"
when in reality he is no more compe-
tent to fit glasses than is the party
wanting them. Great harm may be
done by using glasses not suitable for
the eye, causing glaucoma, which al
ways leads to blindness. Young people
can, by means of their accommodation,
adjust the eyes to any glasses, seeing
with them quite well, until serious
harm is done.
To properly examine the eye one
must understand its anatomy, it's
physiology and it's diseases; the nerv-
Gus condition of the patient, the
human system and its diseases. Latent
trouble of the eye cannot be brought
out and properly corrected by anyone,
but an oculist who understands the
system, as above stated. Did you ever
hear of a case in which the graduate
optician' was not able to give glasses
in few minutes? An oculist may,
however, require a number of exam
nations in difficult cases before he can
be satisfied he is right. Then won
der whether it is right-whether it is
lawful that one should be permitted
to deceive the public into the belief
that he has any knowledge of the eye
by flashing before the eyes of an un-
suspicious and uninformed public such
fake titles as graduate optician."
Glasses are not only to enable peo-
pie of defective sight to see better, but
are used also for the relief of eye
strain and it's evils-such as headache,
neuralgia, nervousness, sleeplessness,
dyspepsia, vomiting, fainting spells.
Nervous prostration and many other
nervous and reflex symptoms may be
caused by eye-strain. Eye-strain may
be caused by not wearing glasses, but
1t may also be caused by wearing i'm
properly fitted glasses; and, the chan
ces are 80 pairs out of a 100 different
glasses fitted by a so-called graduate
optician" or by any individual not a
physician making the eye and its dis
eases a speciality, the chances are the
glasses will do harm. This can be
seen every day by the oculist

Question Is Agitating
the Bankers.
REVENUE INSPECTOR
Harvey SIusser, Of Canton
Talks on the Subject
More Disastrous Than
War.

Revenue Inspector Harvey Slusser,
who was at home over Sunday, said to
a News-Democrat reporter Monday
morning:
"The bankers throughout the coun-
try are a good deal gratified at the
granting of their request made to the
internal revenue commissioner that
the collection of the stamp tax on col
lateral securities be suspended until
the department or the supreme court
finally decides whether the tax as i'm
posed is lawful or not
"The ruling or law as it has been
rowers and not the banks, and en-
hances the cost of loans materially
The tax is two cents on every 500 par
value of the collateral used as basis
of security, and this tax is liable each
time a loan Is made. IL this law is
enforced l am confident that mil
lion dollars can be collected in this
state alone, which will be added to thu
war tax fund now in the treasury de
partment.
-. p. Morgan in an interview the
other day said, enforcement of this
law would be more disastrous In it
results than war with Great Britain
1t would depress business, paralyz'
the financial machinery OF the coun
try and destroy our resources
mo wonder Wall street is very
much exercised about this matter anC
are now anxiously awaiting q deci
sion. One financial correspondent il
New York insists that fifty million
dollars, can be collected alone in tina
city il the above law is enforced"

WAGES up.
Window Glass Raise Reported ID

Pittsburg, March 17.-Window glass
men were considerably exercised yes.
terday over the report that there
would be another advance made in the
wages of the window glass workers
by the American Window Glass Co.,
and its allied manufacturing concerns.
The proposed advance is understood
to be from 10 to 20 per cent. over the
present rate, and the present rate is
considered almost prohibitory.
The officials of the Independent
Glass company profess ignorance OF
the reported advances, but say that
their factories will continue to oper-
ate as usual and that there would be
enough work to keep them all going
until the end of June.

JUDGES HESlTATED
To Certify the Prim ary Results.

The Uhrichsville News-Democrat
tells some hitherto unwritten history
about the Republican primaries at
Canal Dover. 1t says:
1t appears that Dover Republicans
are as much torn up over their pri-
mary there as here. At both places
there were many illegal votes cast.
At Dover it is contended that there
was a sufficient number to vitiate the
result.
There were more votes cast here at
the Republican primary atNn the total
vote of two years ago. There is nc
one here, but knows that consider
able part of this vote was illegal.
At Dover the judges themselves hes
itated to certify the nominations to
the supervisors of elections.

Lee and Miss Sargent were having
the merriest time imaginable, when
me door bell rang. Miss Sargent did
not Introduce Dunn TO Leo as the
man she was about TO marry and
Dunn resented the omission. Lee, on
tke other hand, apparently aid not
realize the important relation Miss
Sargent bore to Dunn and the latter's
untimely entrance nettled him.
The two men were not together more
than ten minutes when they fell to
quarreling. They did not come TO
blows, but satisfied themselves with
sarcastic statements and i'll concealed
inuendos. Finally Dunn left the
house, in a rage.
Taylor Sargent, Miss sargent's Ia
ther, saw him go and realized some
thing was amiss He went into the
parlor and finding Lee there. decided

woman up on the telephone from El.
gin and asked her 20 marry him Miss
Sargent consented. and the two then
made their arrangements for an elop
ment
When Dunn called later in the day
she said not a word OF the change In
her plans. but treated him coldly.
Dunn could not understand her de-
Deanog, but decided It was only an
unusual seriousness due TO the p.ox-
unity Of her marriage.
The young woman's wedding was
nearer than he thought That same
night she disappeared. Tuesday her
parents were informed that she had
sun of with the man Of her choice and
married him at Elgin.
The Tilted suitor was made aware OF
the fact by Mr. Sargent. and yester
day he left Chicago for Oklahoma,
broken hearted.

looking and is said to be well to do.
Young Dunn had known Miss Sar-
gent several years. He became en-.
gagged to her while he was in the EN-
ploye OF the Chicago & Northwestern
