MORE ABOUT GROVER.


Following close upon the news of
the bonanza made by Columbus men
out of the trade secret upon which
Artura photograph paper is based,
comes the news that two other Column
bus men narrowly missed being made
rich by similar trade secret. The
only difference was that the latter
two men did not recognize opportu-
nifty when she came knocking at
their door.
Sundays Dispatch carried a tele-
gram from Hamden Junction, Ohio,
telling oe the sale of a secret process
for hardening iron,by Mason Grover,
its discoyerer, to the United States
Steel Corporation for $4,000. 81
knew Grover well, . said one of the
Columbus men referred to. HE
had little shop. at Bidwell in Gallia
county. ] Glanced to hear of his
secret and looked into it. He would
take an ordinary nail or other piece
of soft iron, go into his secret shop
with it and return with it in a few
minutes made SO hard that it would
cut the hardest substances. He had
pieces of government armor plate
and his iron would cut it ike putty.
You might mark the iron for identif-
cation as you pleased.
He wanted to sell the secret and
it was offered to me. 1t looked like
a good thing and took the matter
up with another man here, but we
did not know how to handle it. We
never got to figures, but l know we
could have got it for a small amount
of cash. think the secret is worth
a million.-Columbus Dispatch.

JOSEPH KINGS NEW VERSION EAST
Lynne"

East Lynne is an old play but
is one of the best. Joseph Kings
company viii appear in it at Hoof7s
Opera House on December 8, 1903,
and fine performance is assured.
The story of East Lynne, is 50
well known it seems almost superau-
Gus to attempt any outline oft,but
a paragraph in that direction may
not be amiss.
Lady Isabel is married to Archibald
Carlyle, and, though in love withher
husband, Is insanely and un5ustly
jealous of Barbara Hare, family
friend and lifelong acquaintance of
Archibald. Her Jealousy is famed
into hatred by a designing villain,
Sir Francis Levison, and she, after
several years of married life, Is IN
duced to leave her husband through
the false representations of Leyfson.
Deserted by the destroyer of her
peace, she is left alone to the mercy
of the world: Miserable and re-
morseful, she gains entrance into her
former husbands home in the guise
of French governess and is enabled
to see and be with her children, al
though unable to re-establish herself
as his wife, for, on her desertion,
Archibald married Barbara Hare. She
finds some solace and comfort, how
ever, in the care of her children.
The death of the Oldest undermines
her own health and, finding herself
at deaths door, she calls her former
husband, disclOses her identity and
with his forgiveness passes into the
Great Beyond.

PRICE OF BROOaSS SOARING.

With sinking heart and with the
realization that more pinching will
be necessary if living expenses are
to be kept within moderate incomes,
the housewife has viewed with
alarm, : as Democrat platform would
say, the tremendous increase in the
cost of the necessities of life. Now
comes another blow to the small
curse. The price of brooms is soar
ing.
Reports from manufacturers say
that there will shortly be such an in
crease in prices that brooms will be
out of the reach of poorer people,
while the economical housekeeper
must needs make the old stub last as
long as she can.
The reason for the increase is said to
lay in the fact that broom corn has
greatly advanced in price and this ex-
PLANTATION is offered: A year ago
broom corn was drug on the market,
which was suffering from a plethora
of production. The natural thing re-
suited, production was cursailed and
prices of the raw material rose by
leaps and bounds. The inevitable
outcome will be that the ultimate
consumer" will pay the bill. The
increase in the price of brooms is
already thirty per cent and brooms
that sold for a5 cents may go as high
as fifty. No relief is promised for a
whole year as there will not be an
other crop harvested before next
September.
