Delightful Diversity in Replies to
Questions of an Intending
Globe-Circler.

A traveller who took the trans
Siberian route across the Russias
says in ga New Way Around an Old
World" that the preliminary answers
to his questions about ways and
means were delightful in their di-
versity. In America, japan, China
and even Russia he was cheerfully
misled, in various fashions, about his
journey.
No two people agreed concerning
it, or came within sight of agree
ment. These were the comments
upon his scheme:
cit can't be DONE"
"You can do it easily"
''It will take two months"
"You can go through in % days"
bars for weeks"
"You will have no difficulty what
soever."
''The steamers run only occasion
ally, and do not begin until June"
"The steamers run daily, and the
river is open early in May"
"You will need heavy clothes and
all your winter furs."
"You will find delightful summer
weather"
"You will have to ride in cattle
cars when you have ended your jour
ney by boat"
"You will have the most luxurious
railway accommodations in the
world"
The result of experiment was, how
ever, that the journey was full of
discomforts and delays. and yet
proved well worth the trouble

BY Neuropathy, the New Sys-
tom Of Curing Diseases In tho
Office Of Dr.. <, r. larkins.


Mrs. Householder called at the Of
fee of DR.. Il. F. LArkins and took
treatment for a nervous trouble that
had kept her from sleeping more than
two hours in each twenty-four hours
for six months. Her loss of sleep had
almost completely prostrated her. and
no medicine would cure her. She
heard of Neuropathy and called upon
DIR. Larkins, who is located in the
City National building, Canton. She
slept seven hours after the second
treatment, and in short time was
completely restored.
Samuel Ward, who had been suffer-
ing from q diseased stomach for a
year, and who had not been able to
work one-half of the time on account
of his weakened condition, was advis-
ed to try DR.. Il. F. Larkins' method
known as Neuropathy. He began to
improve almost from the first treat
ment, and in a short time had so far
recovered as to be able to resume his
work. He is now perfectly cured, and
sends DR.. Larkins many other pa
tients.
This new treatment Is not confined
to the stomach alone; for nearly all
kinds of diseases are quickly and per-
manently cured in the office rooms at

mors that W. p. Hoisington. an Ames-
vile merchant, was insolvent, run

of general merchandise, placing it in
vehicles and hauling it away
Hoisington's large stocis of boots
and shoes, groceries, dry goods, cloth
ing and hardware was carried away
in loads, and when the raid was over
he was wholly without goods with
which to transact business. Many of
the most influential citizens of Ames-
vile were engaged in thet run.
Hoisington was in Athens at the
time, and was notified of the affair by
telephone. He did not reach Ames-
vile until after the goods were gone,
and he now threatens to bring suit to
recover them. The store was In charge
of his clerk, Miss Jennie James, and.
finding that she could do nothing to
stop the rush, sat down and allowed

selves.

ably 900 persons were killed and as
many more injured. 1t Is known
that tho State capitol, the parish
church and many business houses and
residences are in ruins, and there is
much suffering as result OF the
awful seismic disturbance. One of
the edificcs that suffered most was
the Federal telegraph office, which
explains the paucity Of news that has
reached this city so far. Later mea-
gre details began to arrive here. The

prove ents, I'd q Bond Issue.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)

(From a Staff Correspondent
Columbus, Jan. 18.-The members of
the board of trustees of the Columbus
workhouse spent this morning visit
ing the institution, accompanied by
members of the Franklin county dele
cation, with whom they discussed the
proposed improvements at the place
The visit was the result of secret
meeting last Tuesday between members
of the board and the Franklin county
legislators, at which bond iss,le was
discussed. The board Of trustees has
by no means abandoned its plans for
the betterment of the institution. The
failure Of the agitation year ago
for an addition to the prison and other
alterations for the betterment OF Its
sanitary condition caused the matter
to be laid aside for time. but now
the legislature will be asked to au-
thorize an issue of bonds to raise the
amount needed to carry out the plans
of the board.
The bill favored by the trustees pro-
vides for a bond issue of 1000 for
the purpose of erecting an addition
to the workhouse and for the improve.
ment of its sanitary condition. The
matter of the bond issue will be left
to vote of the citizens of Colum-
bus. The board asks only the passage
OF a bill providing for it. II the Frank
lin county members find matters as
at the workhouse the meas
ure will be supported by them as a
body.

YARDS FOR THE MINES
May be Built There and Even
Small Shops Are Hinted at
--News Of the Rail-
roads.

Adena, a little country village To-
Gated at the junction of the Wheeling
and Lake Erie and the branch coal
road extending south and now under
construction to st. Clairsville, is en-
joying good sized boom as result
of the railroad building and the pros
poets for the future but there are ru-
more of still more important improve
ments yet to be made. AS has been
stated. there are several mines opening
up along the branch road and more
are in prospect. The Roby Coal COM
pany which is operating the only i'm
portant mine so far will open another
inside of another year.
The Wheeling and Lake Erie is
putting in extensive yards to care for
the product of the mines and to pre-
pare for the time when the branch
road will be in operation. 1t is hinted
now that the W. & l.. e. may establish
shops there. 1t would be an advan-
tageous point in some respects for a
shop but it has been customary for
the company to locate thevn in cities
where there would be some accommo-
dation for the men employed. If it
should be true that they do propose
to establish shops at Adena the future
of the town is assured.
The people around Adena are ac-
customed to speak of the branch road
as the Wabash extension and they are
firmly of the belief that the big sys-
TEN will ultimately build line over
the short line route to points down
the river.
The population of Adena is growing
rapidly as the result of the various
improvements and property values are
advancing. There have been many
transfers of property along the short
line road and prices are mounting
higher every day.
