READITIN HIS NEW SPAPER.

George Schaub, a we'll known German
citizen Of New Lebanon, Ohio, is con-
slant reader 81 the Dayton Volkszei-
tung. He knows that this paper aims
to advertise only the best in it's COL
umns, and when he saw Chamberlain's
Pain Balm advertised therein for lame
back, he did not hesitate in buying a
bottle of it for his wife, who for eight
weeks had suffered with the most
terrible pains in her back and could
get no relief. He says: AFTER using
the Pain Balm for few days my wife
said to me, Il feel as though born
anew and before using the entire con-
tents of the bottle the unbearable
pains had entirely vanished and she
could again take up her household
duties" He is very thankful and
hopes that all suffering likewise will
hear of her wonderful recovery. This
valuable liniment is for sale by r. H.

BURR BRADLEY's STORE BURNED.
On Wednesday night about 11o'clock
the store belonging to the new firm of
Burr & Bradley was discovered to be on
fire. Richard Smith, who was just re-
turning from Bridgeport, gave the first
alarm. The church bell, which was
right opposite. was rung and the neigh
bors soon responded, but not in time to
save anything in the store, though they
prevented the spread of the fire to
house and barn. The store was be-
tween the two buildings and a short
distance from each. The postoffice was
kept in the store and all the property
connected with it was destroyed. The
Office has been located in the dwelling
of Mrs F. J. Bradley. There was an
insurance on the building but none on
contents. The telephone was destroy
ed but new one was placed in the res
idence of Mrs Bradley the next day.

VIM. Lewis, colored, was arrested
at 1880 n. m, Wednesday, charged
with stealing clothing and furnishing
goods from the Surprise store where
he has been employed as a porter for
the past two weeks. The clothing was
missed by the proprietor of the store,
and suspicion was directed to Lewis.
His room was searched Wednesday
morning during his absence, by Officer
Doerler, and much gaudy raiment
was found. Fervent socks. passion
ate neckties audible shirts, two pairs
of trousers and two vests were dis
covered and contiscated by the police,
Lewis claims that he is innocent and
says some one has put up a job on
him."
He is the same man who was arrest
ed on suspicion that he robbed John
Koerber's safe some time ago. No
evidence TO convict was found at that
time and Lewis was released.

WILL STICK.
No Sacrifices Will be
Made
By Any of the Candidates For
- City Clerk.

The disposition of the Anderson
machine, as indicated by the tones of
the PARTY organ Wednesday evening,
seems to be to freeze out three of
the candidates in the contest for City
Clerk, without giving them chance
to show their strength in the final
test. The attitude, taken under the
guise of an attempt to guard the Re-
publican Council against internal
warfare, has missed the real mark,
for it has determined the candidates
more than ever to stay in the contest
until the votes are counted.
Mr.. Il. o. Lothmann said Wednes-
day evening. My chances for secur-
ing the office are good, and | have no
intention of dropping out of the race
entitled to a fair show. and that the
selection should be made upon the
merits of the aspirants rather than
upon the strength of political pulls
There is no change in the attitude
of Mr.. Harry w. Arson. He believes
he is entitled to the place. not only
by reason of the service he has rem
-dered the. Republican party, but
also because he regards himself well
qualified to administer the duties of
the office. He has no intention of
withdra wing from the contest.
