No preacher can inspire a man who is looking into a lopsided aggregation of dead birds, stuffed weasels, chamelon silks, ribbons, beads, sticks, straws, corn tassel and thistle down. It makes the sinner feel lost in the wilderness.”

Business men generally, do not like to wear rubbers or overshoes of any kind. If you have to step out of your place of business for a few minutes a dozen times a day you don’t want to put on overshoes each time, and if you don’t, you’ve got a cold. I have a shoe that was built for you. The upper is of dull Borro Jap leather which shines like patent if you want to shine it. The soles are heavy single, filled with V iscol, 'making them waterproof. They are made on the new Shorty last and sell at $4.00 the pair.

Fred Bosenburg, one of the oldest saloon men in the town is out in the papers with a statement showing that he saloons of Rochester pay out more money which is put into circulation in the town each year, amounting approximately to $25,000 and offers this as an argument why the saloons should not be closed.

This is the first time this stench has been noticeable and this was due to the wind being from the south. Electric Superintendent M. J. Mylott this morning received a notice from the state railroad commission ordering him to elevate all electric wires that cross the various railroads to the required distance twenty-four feet.

A suit brought by the railroad commission to compel express companies to deliver packages beybnd a mile limit from the offices of the express companies, was thrown out of the state appellate court.

The contention over the rulings of Judge Hastings, of the probate court, in the Paulding local option case, was passed upon today, by Judge Cameron, of the court of common pleas, the prosecution in the latter court being an action in error.

Hiram Gill, of Warren, to whom the county commissioners Thursday refused a license to sell liquor, has not decided as yet whether or not he will appear in circuit court. He has the matter under advisement. From Warren today came the word that his neighbors were urging him not to appeal, and temperance people of Warren are saying they also hope the appeal will not be taken, for they dislike to drag any more filthy details into the evidence in court, which they would be compelled to do on a further hearing. The blanket remonstrance papers are being circulated in Salamonie township, and since the action of the commissioners Thursday signing has become more popular. Those in charge feel that the required majority can be secured. —Huntington Herald.
