Women and Jewels.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man
that is the order of woman s pref
erences. Jewels form a magnetic
mighty power to the average wo-
man. Zen that greatest of all
Jewels, health, is often ruined in
the strenuous effort to save the
money to purchase them. If a
woman will risk her health to get
a coveted gem, then let her for
tify herself against the insiduous
consequences of coughs, colds
and bronchial affections by regu-
lar use of DR.. Boschee's German
Syrup. 1t will promptly arrest
consumption in it's early stages
and heal the affected lungs and
bronchial tubes and drive the
dread disease from the system. 1t
is not a cure-all, but it is a certain
cure for coughs, colds and all
bronchial troubles. You can get

The VALLEY of the Nile

Is no richer than the fertile cOun-
try traversed by the Illinois Cen
trail railroad in the States of
Tennessee, Mississippi and Lou

awakened to this fact and are
rapidly settling here, for they ap-
preciate the fact that the soil,
crops, climate, water, markets,

and they are buying land while
the prices are yet very low. Write

Middlebourne, Oct. 1S.-At an
advertised club meeting at this
place last night there was but a
fairly good attendance. The
speakers were Mossrs. Hardman,
Jacobs and Lapier. Although it
was a club meeting none Of the
officers of the club were present,
and p. H. Anderson, better known
as "Stand Pat" had to preside.
1t had been advertised in order
to draw a crowd that Judge D. F.
Pugh of Columbus, o., would be
present to make the address of the
evening, and his failure to come
was explained by "Stand Pat. "
His explanation was about as
clear as mud. Judge Pugh is en-:
tirely too honorable a man to
make a speech to endorse the Red
Ticket primary in this county.
Mr.. Hardman made speech de-
voting most of his time to the
Prohibition party and trying to
convince his hearers the best thing
to do was to stand by the G. o. p.
and not vote for the Prohibition
candidates. The Republicans, how
ever, insist as the party is now
run they are not that kind Of Re-
publicans, and many of them, in
fact, hundreds of them, are going
to vote for DR.. Reppard for Sher-

Value Of Growing Plants In the Treat.
ment of the Sick.

"Growing plants, and especially
odoriferous Towering plants, are OF
the greatest value in the treatment
of the sick" said DR.. Frances Bart
lett of Philadelphia.
GAS long as the plants are kept
moist they will ditfuse moisture.
and they undoubtedly have the pow
er to produce ozone. Some plants
will vaporize the atmosphere to the
amount of three times their own
weight in a day. In this way tie
atmosphere of sickroom can be
made of the greatest benefit. The
only dangerous plants to place in d
sickroom are those which give off
unpleasant odors. Why send con-
sumptives to Colorado to benefit by
The climate when We can bring that
climate into their homes by the
simple expedient of having CROWN 8
plants in their rooms? Care should
Je exercised in regard to cut flowers,
They should not be left in the
rooms at night. They throw of
carbon dioxide, but during the day
time the amount of oxygen they
produce neutralizes the harmful eff
tects."

Street Committee-The commit
tee reported the completion OF the
surface sewer at the corner OF
Wells and Charles streets.
The proposed completion of the
Hill street sewer, an Improvement
that is urgently demanded from a
sanitary consideration, was taken
up and it was found that the nee
essary contract with interested
property owners is not yet exc
cuted by the City Attorney. In
this connection a communication
was read from the Steele-Wagner
Construction company of Sisters
vile, in which the company offers
to build the sewer OF concrete
blocks, made of one part Portland
cement, two parts clean sand and
four parts clean gravel for $o.25
per lineal foot. The company to
furnish all material and labor ex-
cept the hauling of the necessary
dirt for the covering of the sewer.
On motion it was ordered that
the city purchase fifty street
lamps, in addition to the ten al
ready purchased, and two dozen
extra globes of the Joseph Lamp
company of Wheeling.

There Will BE Great Rejoicing.

What has happened recently in
New Orleans and various sections
of the State was fully forecasted
in the Caucasian during the polit-
ical campaign for the Governor
ship. Because the Caucasian was
untrammelled in its expressions
and preached the highest stand
ard Of Democracy, it was criti-
cised as "disgruntled,' and to
which were applied other similar
epithets, but all these were mild
in comparison to the execrations
of the Governor-''the party
by the New Orleans press, partic-
ularly the esteemed States and the
esteemed Picayune. With all due
respect to "His Excellency," the
assertion is here ventured that
the citizens of Louisiana, even the
Bosses, will rejoice when the term
of the Governor shall have reached
the end and he shall have been re-
turned to the shades of private
life.-Caucasian.
Yes, and if he continues to 'do'
his hirelings as he has started in
at New Orleans recently (who are
responsible for his occupying the
exalted position of Governor), he
will be one of the best hated men
in the State before his term ex-
pires, as he has already won that
unenviable distinction from the
clean voters, who have no use for
man who defes them, and even
adopts noted political criminals
expression second-handed, "What
arc you going to do about it?''-a
direct slap in the face of the New
Orleans bosses as we'll as the peo-
pie Of the entire State.

What might have been a fatal
accident occurred at Hyman 4

last Monday evening. The by
draulic pressure had been applied
to bale of cotton in the press,
which is located in the second
story of the building, when the
bolts which hold the upper por-
tion of the press in place gave
way under the strain, and por-
tion of the press, weighing about
two tons, was thrown out of posi-
ton and crashed through the
lowe floor. Two employees OF
