What is Wealth?

Does wealth consist IN money, houses,
lands, bank stocks, railroad bonds, ETC.,
alone?
We think not. The young man start
ing in life with no money, but with
good digestion, good sleep, good health,
and ability to work in some profitable
employment, has what the.aged capital
list would be glad to exchange all his
millions for.
What compensation is money for
sleepless nights and painful days?
Which brings the greater happiness
the glitter, show, jealousies and falls
ity of fashionable life, or the heartfelt
friendships which prevail SO largely in
the homes of the industrious poor?
In how many of the palaces of our
miliionaires will you find greater hap
piness in the parlor than in the kit
chen?
How millionaires will tell you that
they are happier now than when start
ing in life without dollar?
On the tops of mountains we find
rocks land ice and snow. 1t is down in
the valleys that we, find the vineyards.
Let no man envy those richer than
himself until taking all things into &C.
count-sge, health, wife, children
friends-he is sure he would be willing
to exchange. GEO. T. ANGEL.

BLOT OF THE CENTURY
Frishtful Crimos That were Done in

Toledo, o., May 16.-In telling of
their own escape from the mob's work
ut Kislencif, Russia, during the
mob's possession of the city Mrs. Clara
Anberg writes to friends here as fol-
lows: "Jcwisl. girls were assaulted
by Russians who looted the city. One
little-girl was assaulted by fifty brutes.
She died few minutes afterward. The
Russians marched the streets destroy
ing houses and killing all Jewish men,
women and children they found. When
the massacre was well under way the
governor and chief of police encour-
aged the robbers and murderers, cry
ing to them in Russian: Hurry up
and finish your work.
All this was the result of labor trou-
blcs intensified by race luminosity,
which finally eliminated in a lock-
out, the Jews being the employers.
Here are some more of the atrocities
committed: A Jewess had two seven
inch spikes driven into her brain,
though her nostrils; one Jew had ev-
cry limb broken and his hands and
fet cut off; another's lips We're cut
away with Il butcher knife; Jewish
| carpenter caught at work had his

We're instantly killed; eighty died OF

Keep the Record Straight

The bond scandal of Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration is well known.
How he enriched the Morgan syndicate
by making it the security of the gov
eminent is too recent event to be for
gotten. The result was just what every
bi-metsllic democrat said 1t would be.
1t was just what every ordinary man
with common sense knew it would be.
1t brought on panicky times,a stringency
of money, contraction of values and a
comparative increase Of debts. The
panic of 1893 was the legitimate
effect of q cause as dastardly Infamous
as 1t was disastrous, and Cleveland
went out of Office repudiated by his
own party and held up to the country
by the republican party as democratic
blunderer.-Creston American.
The American is all right as far as it
goes, but to keep the record straight it
should tell how the republican senators
and congressman encouraged and sup
ported Mr.. Cleveland in his bond scan
dsls, and by their votes enabled him to
override the will and defeat the wishes
of the democratic majority in congress
during his last four years in office.

Death of DR.. W. B. Sherman.

A telegram received here yesterday
morning from Cleveland, Ohio, by DIR.
Harry M. Bradley, brought the sad in
formation, that DR.. Sherman had passed
away on Monday evening.
Walter Byron Sherman was born in
Stuben county, New York on Novem-
her 90, 1881 Three years thereafter his
parents removed to Ohio, and located
on q farm in Medina county, where he
spent hissbophood days, working on the
farm and attending school. After
graduating from the Medina high
school, he taught school for several
years, and on January Goth, 1859, he
united in marriage with Miss Ssllie $.
Benjamin, native of Medina county.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sherman came to this
county in July 1862, and settled on q
farm in Hazsl Green township and he
was engaged in farming until 1867
when he decided to enter the medical
profession, and at once began reading
medicine in the office and under the
instruction of DR.. Charles @. Bradley
in this city, graduating from the
Adelbert Medical College at Cleveland,
Ohio, in the spring of 1870. The same
year he formed a partnership with DR..
Bradley, under the firm name of
Bradley Il Sherman, which continued
without interruption until his retire
ment from active practice about two
years ago, and since then his home has
been at Eagle Cliff, near Cleveland.
His health had been quite poor for
several years and in hopes of improv-
ing 1t, he and Mrs. Sherman spent the
past winter in Florida, from whence
they returned home this spring, Mr..
Sherman being quite i'll. A week ago
last Sunday DR.. Bradley received a
telegram saying that MIR. Sherman was
seriously ill and requesting him to
come to his bedside at once. He COM
piled with the request, promptly taking
the first east bound train.
| Everything that skilled physicians,
and the best of care could do, was
done, but without avail.
DIR. Sherman was for many years one
of the most prominent and best known
physicians in this county. He was a
kind, atfectionate and devoted husband
and father, an upright and honest man
and very public spirited citizen.
He is survived by his widow-his
companion for over half century, snd
their three daughters, Mrs. Cora E
Wood and Mrs. Ella A. Sears of Cleve
land, and Mrs. Mertie E. Blair, of New
York City

The discovery of numerous cases of

believed to be CHAMBERS. The past
two weeks DR.. Evers has been called
to two points in Grundy county to In

burg and near Holland he has found
types of this disease that has called
for heroic measures and efforts to blot
out the disease and prevent its further
spread. The animals found infected
were killed and burned and the premi
SEES were quarantined and SO far as pos
sible disinfected The authorize!
state that the public in many instances
is Indifferent and careless in handling
this disease and that on this account II
is spread from one neighborhood tt
another. The fact that the disease Ii
very contagious and once contracted
is incurable calls for the best efforts o.
all to eliminate the disease whereye
