FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 5, 1897.

AN Oberlin president certifies that "During all my experience as a profes-sor—twenty-seven years in all—I have never observed any difference in the sexes as to performance in recitation." The boys may now pluck up couragc.

TUB expert has come to grief again in a Louisiana rural town. He testified that oxen are nearly all of one color, basing his opinion on special personal observation. It was proved that he had beeD keeping tally on the only ox team in the neighborhood.

INVENTOKS in India are not as slow as might be supposed. A cooking box, introduced by a Hindoo, is run by solar heat. It is lined with mirrors, concentrating the rays on a heater of copper, covered with glass, and performs its work quickly in boiling, baking or stewing.

JOHN SAKTAIN, the artist, who died a few days ago in Philadelphia, had many interesting experiences during his life of 89 years. He knew Charles Dickens as a boy pasting blacking labels in a London factory. Thomas Hood's "The Song of the Shirt" and "The Bridge of Sighs" were first printed in a magazine published by Sartain in Philadelphia in the forties.

WILLIAM C. TODD, of Atkinson, N. H., is the name of the man who has endowed the Boston Public Library with 82,000 a year for the purchase of newspapers. Mr. Todd says he is "impressed with the increasing importance and influence of newspapers and the great demand for them by all classes of the community," and he gives the money oil the simple condition that the whole annual interest on 350,000 be expended for newspaper subscriptions. The choice of the publications is left entirely to the library authorities.

SCIKNTIJ'ICALIA" trained schoolmarms in these times are not to be trifled with. At Babylon, L. I., a young teacher undertook to punish a stout boy pupil. While thus engaged the boy's older sister, who is larger than the teacher, dashed upon the scene, and the two combined to reverse the order of discipline. But the schoolmarm seized the girl's hands, tripped her up, sat on her, and then the boy howled for mercy. Evidently there are some things taught in a normal course that are not illustrated at the graduating exercises.

FADS, at leas^ fads of an improved kind, are attracting more attention as a branch of hygiene. A prominent physician says: "If you cannot find pleasure in the many wonders that surround you if you care not for geology, natural history or astronomy, collect walking-sticks, buy and cherish old and cracked china, fill up albums and scrapbooks, or even gather autographs and postage stamps—anything sooner than be idle." According to modern medical opinion, doing nothing is about the most corrosive.

LVNC'II LAW.

It is probably true that what is called lynch law, will never be suppressed by any other means than a Bpeedy and rigid enforcement of the criminal laws that have been enacted by the Legislature. People whose lives and property are in constant peril will find a remedy somewhere else, if the courts and the executive officers fail to afford them protection from the gangs of robbers and thieves that continually infest the country. Governor Mount is a good deal more than half right when he attributes the lax administration of the law to the lack of energy on the part of the people generally in helping to apprehend and prosecute violators of the law. If every honest man would feel it to be a part of his duty to give aid in prosecuting criminals, there would be much less complaint about the courts not enforcing the law. There is a species of cowardice prevalent that is worse than treason. We often hear good men say that they are afraid to array themselves against the criminal classes lest their barns and houses maybe burned and their stock poisoned in retaliation. To allow such a consideration as this to prevail in any community is but to invite all the evil disposed classes to congregate there to carry on their depredations.- The man who suffers this l.ind of cowardice to control him is a worse enemy to peace and good

order than the criminal he fears There must be courage in dealing with law breakers, cot only in the courts and their executive oil'icers, but on the part of the community generally. Let it once be understood that every good citizen in the community considers himself a police officer ready at all times to aid in enforcing the law, and we venture that such community will be exempt from the presence of the criminal classes. They will very soon go somewhere else in search of victims. The people must everywhere h-arn that courts and executive officers are powerless to administer and execute the law without the constant aid of the whole community.

BEVEL NOT PATENTABLE.

Western Cyele Makers to AlnUe the Chain* less Wheel —Will Lower the I'rire.

Indianapolis Journal-. The recent appearance of the chainless bicycle, which was put on the market by the Pope Manufacturing Company, has brought about an organized opposition on the part of other prominent manufacturers of bicycles. The New York Herald recently contained a lengthy article telling of a combination of Western manufacturers which intended making almost the same wheel as that made by Pope. The Herald's article was, in part, as follows: "The chainless wheel discussion yesterday received an impetus by the receipt of news from the West that a combination of manufacturers is being formed to put bevel geared wheels on the market, despite the patents controlled by Easterm makers. The combination is being manipulated from Toledo, O., the center of the cycle industry of the We6t, and, according to dispatches, a fight is to be made as to the validity of the patents under which the bevel-geared wheels now on the market are made. "The Western makers claim to have ascertained through their attorneys that these patents are worthless, and aver that they will manufacture a high grade chainless bicycle to sell at less than S125. "Local representatives of Western manufacturers, when seen yesterday, professed utter ignorance of the matter, while representatives of the makers who have chainless wheels on the market claimed that the validity of the patents could not be assailed. "On what seemed to be good authority, however, it is learned that there is considerable truth in the story from the West. The combination referred to is understood to consist of eight cycle manufacturing firms, all of whom are not of the West. This combination, having satisfied itself of a weakness in the patent rights in question, has decided to get ou chainless bicycles of their own of tho bevel-gear pattern, which, it is said, will be put on the market at $100, if not for 575."

It was rumored that the Indiana Bicycle Company was in the combination. President C. F. Smith, of the company, is out of the city and Secretary L. S. Dow was asked regarding the report. He said: "There is little I can say about the matter. There is hardly a combination formed,^and there will probably be none, though there is an understanding among a number of large manufacturers that they are to fight the Pope people. It will be bj' ignoring the alleged patents, rather than by taking notice of them in the courts. If any suits result tney will doubtless be brought by Pope. I do not believe that he thinks his claims to holding patents on the bevel-gear will hold. He is simply trying to bluff it through. But he cannot do this, for the reason that the bevel gear has been used too long and is too common an appliance to be patentable. I cannot say what companies intend to make the chainless wheel, but there will be several to manufacture wheels similar to those made by Pope."

Mr. Dow declined to 6ay whether his company was one of the number.

Sued tor .Seven Hundred.

The West Publishing Company has entered suit against G. W. Paul for 8700 damages. The plaintiffs allege that Mr. Paul purchased from them a large number of law books and deferred paying for them so long that the plaintiffs finally took possession of the books and sold them at public auction. At this auction sale, however, the price obtained for the books was 8700 short of what Mr. Paul had agreed to pay. Accordingly he is sued for this sum. vV.'v

WHEAT OUTLOOK NOT GLOOMY.

Keccnt liain ll»lpt»d the Farmer Several Ways.

In

Chief Signal Officer Wappenhaus I takes a very hopeful view of the Indiana wheat crop for 1808, "since the long-hoped for rain has come. The rain began about 11a. m. Sunday anil ended at 12:45 Monday. Like Sunday and ended at 12:45 p. in. Monday.

Like the preceding drought, it was one of the longest on record. During that time the instruments at this point showed a rainfall of 1 5!) inches, not a heavy precipitation, but it was asteady "soaking" rain, just the kind to do the most good, for most, of it went into the ground instead of flowing oft' into the water courses. The rain was much the same all over the State.

A few days ago Mr. Wappenhaus sent out postal card inquiries on the condition of winter wheat, and Monday about 150 of the returns came in. They indicate that a large per centage of the farmers had not yet sown their wheat, and Mr. Wappenhaus last Tuesday expressed the belief that the rain would put the ground in good condition for sowing, and would bring to the surface the wheat sown a month ago.

A dry autumn is not nearly so hard upon the winter wheal crop as an excessively wet one, which is likely to rot the seed in the ground. In dry earth the wheat berry is likely to lie dormant until the ground becomes moist enough to sprout it. A rank early growth and an open winter usually produces a poor quality of winter wheat.

UNION TOWNSHIP SCHOOLS^

Tlu First School Teacher nixl the First School Itoom—Arrest of I'ie Supper Distui-hers—Arlor Day is Observed.

Arbor Day was observed in some manner at all the schools, trees being put out at most of the places.

LastSaturday night some person is charged wTCh~p«4Rmg'^up some newly planted shade trees and" and breaking window glass at No 8

Upsetting the outhouses at the several school houses seems to have been the delight of the Hallowe'eners on Saturday night.

Two of the parties arrested for disturbing the entertainment at No. 10, pleaded guilty to creating a disturbance. Two others have caused their chairs in the family circle to be vacant and a warrant has been issued for another of the guilty persons. These disturbers are also wanted for like offenses at another school house, and the prospect is bright for the rearrest of the ma joritv of the same persons who "had so much fun" at No. 10. It is also charged that another ctowd has been going around to other school houses, creating disturbances and wanting to fight and snoot. All that is rt quired to put a stop to such work is for witnesses to these parties' actions to go to the prosecutor and give in the names, and he will attend to the final scenes of their rowdyism. The trustee desires that all guilty persons be treated to a free dose of the law.

Silas Napp was the first school teacher in this county, and he taught in the log court house.

The school teachers are observing the rules of the State Board of Health to the best of their ability, and they hope the children's health may be benefited by their work.

The pay days for the teachers are on the first and third Saturdays of each month.

Only seventeen more weeks of school. Under date of Sept. G, 1824, page 18, of Commissioners' Record Book No. 1, is found the following concerning the first public school in Montgomery county: "On application of Williamson Dunn and others for the use of the court house for the U6e of a school to be kept therein, it is ordered by the board that the. applicants may have use of the court house for a school house on their filing a bond in the clerk's office to make good all damages that may accrue to the said court house in consequence of the said school being kept therein, and should the said applicants have fire in said house they are to be accountable for all accidents that may accrue to said house by fire, and pay a rent at the rate of eighteen dollarfe per annum, and further, to give up the 6aid house at all times when it may be wanted for public business of any kind or when any improvements should be wanting to be made, to the said houEe if required. Robert Johnston protects against the above order on the grounds that h^ believes renting the said court house will be an injury to the county."

I \l "y

Charles E. Osgood, cf Boston, the owner of the largest and most successful furniture business iu New England, if not in the country, was one of the few large buyers among furniture dealers during the hard times of last year, who did a good business, always paying cash, moving oa as if times were good, while rival concerns were going to pieces right aud left all about. His credit from Michigan to Maine became so conspicuously solid that be was one of the most talked of young men in commercial circles.

With limited ueans, but well bred, full of character, straightforward, and well educated, he started in business onlj a few years ago in a very modelate way in a little store on Treinont street in Boston. Tbe city began to know him quifckly. His business rapidly assumed great proportions.

understand, was first relieved of a Jong troubling rheumatism by the same remedy."

Work is necessary to a healthy body and brain but when it runs through the tame grooves through the twelve months, year in and year out, tbe effect is as difcastrous as a fire in a bundle of wood.

When the nervous system is fagged out none of the orgaus of the body do their dut\ the purifying, .excretory organs do not thoroughly cleanse the blood and the digestive and assimilative organs keep the nerves badly nourished.

The tired system needs help. Here is where Paine's celery compound accomplishes its wonderful work. The radical purifying of the blood and the rapid feeding of the nerves by this great remedy prevents the development of diseases that often Jurk unrecognized in the syftem.

Everyone who has taken I'air.e's celery compound has noticed and remarked to others its wonderful strengthening tffect upon the entire nervous organization and its cleansing action on the vitiated blood. It cures the body of that nervous habit, eradiest°s liondaobe. crus insomnia and wasting diseases, and quickly drives out the poisonous humors that cause the aches and pains of rheumatism and neuralgia. For building up the body against general debility, poor appetite and the tired lifeless feelings that accompany a low nervous tone, Paine's celery compound is beyond all question the surest, most responsible remedy any one can use.

An ailing habit, with frequent bodily pains over the seat of such vital organs as the heart, brain or kidnevu is serious and urgent. The deecent'to fatal disease is easy, whenever the body becomes "run down." Build up the strength and resistance of the nervous and digestive organs with Paine's celery compound, get rid of unhealthy conditions of these organs, and jret out of dancer.
