In the Supreme court the case OF
State against Jones from Marion
county was continued. The court
then adjourned for few days.
THE argument in the trial of Mar
tucio has been listened to by large
crowd and they have been very much
interested in what has teen said.
The speeches have been unusually
able and they will help fog the jury
in bringing In a verdict.
THE B. & O. is getting busy in this
section and will during the coming
year spend lots of money making its
system much better than it has ever
been. We shall not only get the Wa
bash but we are to receive benefits
from other sources as well.
SOME people think that when the
statement is made that the Mononga-
hela tonnage exceeds that of any other
stream IN the United States the state
ment Is unfounded. Government re-
ports show that IL Is an absolute fact.
THAT Sunnyside bridge is gradually
extending out over the hollow, and it
won't be long at the present rate un-
til it is done and ready for the use Of
the public.
THE attendance at the concert to.
morrow night should be record
breaking one. Seldom do we have
the chance to hear such splendid art
lists, and we should show our appreci-
alton of their coming. The concert
will be real treat.
IF the general appropriation bill
gets through with the several items in
it not amended, the institutions here
supported by the State, will fare rather
well. They do not get all that they
ask for, but this would be too good to
be true. They get enough to enable
them to do great many things which
need TO be done.

Dog Tax should Be Enforced.

To The Editor of the New DOMINION.
at the last election the people voted
dog tax. That must be the explana-
tion Of the increase in dogs. Either
people are anxious to pay dog tax or it
is kind OF dog-on tax that don't
work. 1t is nothing unusual to see a
gang Of six or eight dogs raiding the
town together. The average citizen
seems to think dog is an essential
factor in his domestic economy. We
suggest to the city fathers that the
only plan to secure the lawful revenue
from dogs is to require every owner to
take out license for his dog. Every
dog that does not have license to live
from the town. ought to be shot by
the dog pelter. This plan would
bring revenue enough TO keep the
streets clean. CITIZEN.

The Great Lafayette's reproduction
OF the browning of Britain's king is
extremely spectacular, and as gorge
Gus pageant would be very interesting,
but as might have been expected this
ingenius and mystifying entertainer
has added mystery to its magnifcence,
for he himself impersonates both the
king and queen though they both
upon the stage at the same time. This
is but one of at least twenty changes
made by this wonder worker, and as
they are all made practically in full
view Of the audience the mystiflcation
increases ten-fold during their presen-
tatiou.

Eye Exercise.

An exercise which, if perseveringly practiced, will greatly strengthen the eyes and which has entirely restored many cases of impaired vision, so that spectacles and eyeglasses were dis earded, is to turn the eyes upward and downward alternately, as far as possi- ble, twenty times, says writer in the New York Herald. Don't pause in the upward glance. The motion Is inces- sant, but not hastened. Next turn the eyes to right and to left, repeating as before. Turn them to the upper left corner and the obverse, or diagonally- that is, to lower right corner. Repeat. Turn them to the upper right corner and its obverse. Repeat. Conclude the exercise with rolling the eyes around, first to the right, then to the left, in the extreme limit of the muscular ex- tension, being careful, however, not to strain the muscles.
 If the exercise is repeated at conven- fence several times during the day, 1t will soon strengthen the muscles.

4 Terrible Weapon.

The weapon common to every part of Hindustan, so as to deserve the name of the national arm, Is the "ka- tar" This is a broad, two edged dag ger, the hilt of which Is formed some- thing like an II, the hand grasping the crossbar, which is generally double, while the side bars extend on each side of the wrist.
 Some katars are made with five blades, which unite into one, but by squeezing together the crossbars di- verge like the fingers of hand when the thrust has been given. Other ka- tars are made in sets of two or even three, of diminishing sizes, the blades of the larger being hollow and forming sheaths for the smaller. Some of the southern Indian katars, known as "death givers," are immense weapons, nearly two feet long in the blade, and the hilts are mass of fantastic scroll work and mythological holsters, the cobra with expanded hood figuring largely. There is also the "bich'hwa," or scorpions sting, q doubly curved dagger; the "khanjar," larger form of the same, and the "peshkabz," or hunting knife. But none of these elab- orate weapons has about 1t the terrl- bly "businesslike" look of the Khyber knife (chhura), with its ponderous sin gle edged, tapering blade and plain ivory hilt-Chambers Journal.

The Flax Plant.

Linen is obtained from the flax plant ] small, delicate annual with tiny blue flower. The plant is pulled by hand in the summer, the seeds, known In commerce as linseed being removed and the straw subjected to various processes 10 separate the fibrous part which constitutes the linen. First it is steeped in water and then passed through a drying and heating process on revolving wheels until all foreign matter is removed. It is then ready for manufacture.
 Flax has been used from remote ages as textile fabric, especially in Egypt Mummy cloths are often found to be of exceedingly fine texture. The chief linen producing countries of the present day are Ireland, France, Belgium and Germany. The flax fiber is round and irregular, is very durable and is ca pablo of extensive bleaching. Plain linen has simple weave, with the weft threads alternately interspersing the warp ones When woven with q pattern it is usually called damask.
 AS a clothing material linen should not be worn next the skin because it is very good conductor of heat.
 Jute and hemp are from plants which are used in manufacturing only very rough materials. In form they resem. ble very coarse, inferior fax.-Ameri. can Queen.

throat can be kept clear of MUCOUS and splitting. Catarrh is a nuisance and source of annoyance, not only to the one who has it, but everybody else. The thick, yellow discharge from the head produces feeling of personal defleinent, and the odor of the breath is almost intoierable.
 The catarrhal poison brings on stomach troubles and affects the Kid neys and Bladder l. attacks the soft bones and tissues of the head and throat, causing total or partial deafness, the loss of smell, and giv- ing to the voice a rasping nasal twang. No part of the body is secure from its ravages. Catarrh makes you sick all over, for it is a dis ease of the blood, and circulates all through tine system, and for this reason, sprays, washes, inllalers, powders and salves have proven failures.
 The way to cure Catarrh thor oughly and permanently is to cleanse the blood of the unhealthy secretions that keep the membranes of the body inflamed, and nothing does this so surely and'proinptly as s. s. $. AS long as the blood is poisoned with Catarrhal matter the discharge of I of the miserable disease will continu
