HARD TO LOSE
Dick Can be Relied
Upon
To be on Hand Whenever ANY,
thing Is Going On.

Ber Il. Williamson, writing from
Columbus to the Ncws-Democrat,
says:
Congressman Dick Is hard citizen
to lose. He has given out evasive in
tervlews on various occasions, some
times when not asked to talk and at
other times when nobody cared wheth-
er he talked or not, but he has never
said positively that he would not in
terfere with the plan to make State
Treasurer Cameron chairman of the
Republican state committee. All the
talking he has done has been through
such Hanna men as John Il. Malloy
and other men deployed on the skirm-
ish line, but these interviews may be
said to be Hanna interviews more
than Dick interviews. They are fash
ioned more from disire than from fact
Hanna wants to be rid Of Dick. The
old man has troubles of his own and
Dick is load. It is reported here
that Dick IS kicking over the traces
and declines to be showed aside per-
emptorily. Hanna has made peace
with Daugherty, but the latter has
evinced a desire to lay on the outside
and have the Senator in the interior
This is lion and lamb theory that
Mr.. Hanna has not become accustom-
ed to, he having been able up to this
time to do the outside work himself.
SO there is hitch in the arrangement
and Treasurer Cameron has not plain
sailing as yet"

The greatest of modern physicians,

with the conviction and positive
knowledge that it had peculiar virtues
and ample powers to cure, after the
terrible verdict "incurable" was uttered
by the medical practitioner.
Thousands of the strongest testimon-
ials from the best known and most
reliable men and women Of our coun-
try fully sustain the claims made by
DR.. Phelps regarding his incompara-
BILE Paines Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs
furnished, comes recently from gen.
tleman widely known in the capital
city of the Dominion of Canada. We
refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, 01 O'Con-
nor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that
the greatest sufferer may cast off his
well, strong, and happy. 1t proves,
too, that the great medicine maintains
more firmly than ever before its un-
rivaled place in the estimation OF peo-
of wealth and social standing as well
as with the masses. Mr.. Brown says:

NERVOUS, IRRITABLE, SLEEP

A Short Story Well Told Of a Bad Condl.
tIon and Its Easy Cure.

Mr.. S. E. Adams, of corner Water
and Chestnut sts., Akron, o., says:
II found DR.. A. w. Chase's Nerve
Pills an excellent nerve tonic. I was
very nervous, restless and slept brok-
enly. A nerve tonic was necessary,
and I was induced to try the Nerve
Pills and got some at Lamparter's

and rapidly-the nerves became steady
and strong-the general vigor and
strength returned and sleep well.

NO HELP.
Farmhands Are Not to
be Had
And Are Being Imported From
Other States.

Chagrin Falls, April 1.--With the ex-
ira work occasioned by sugar making,
and the busy season of spring coming
,on so early, farmers throughout this
portion of the Western Reserve are
confronted by the knotty problems of
what are they going to do for farm la
borers this season.
All through the maple sugar season
they found it almost impossible to
procure laborers at any price, many
offers of 81 day and board finding no
takers, and only the fact that the ma
pie sugar product was not half a crop
this year enabled the producers to get
through the season. Many farmers
now say that the offer of wages seems
to make no difference, and that farm
laborers cannot be obtained at any
price they offer.
In this vicinity offers of $22 to $2S a
month and board, which is higher
figure than usually paid. brought no
help and many agriculturists have sent
south and brought laborers from Ken
tucky.
The reason for this shortage of help
is not because of harder work or more
exacting duties that heretofore, but
on account of the great army of farm
er's boys who have gone to the city
to learn trades and procure employ
ment during the past year. If the rush
of farmer boys to the city continues
the coming year as it has during the
past season the farms Of this vicinity
will be practically deserted of all Ia
borers but those imported from other
states.

April Fool Kept by All
People.
Gigantic Hoax Was a Complete
Success.
"This is the first of April,

Hunt the gowk another mile"
From time iminemorial the first Of
April has been celebrated by all sorts of
hoaxes and playing of pranks. The
true origin of April Fool is buried in
the dust of centuries and our great
est antiquaries seem unable to throw
any light on the subject. Nearly all
its equivalent and the similarity of
the practice and the coincidence of
dates establishes without a doubt in
the minds of authorities Che fact that
it had an early and common origin
among mankind.
Nearly all the peoples on the Cont
nent celebrate April Fool with pranks
and tricks, and even the Hindoos have

treating the matter as joke, and
while he laughed the prisoners made

Occasionally gigantic hoax is per-

such one met with great success in
