That ought-to-be-forgotten rule our mothers followed when roasting meats in their cast-iron stoves. We are now living in another day. The quickest of quick baking is accomplished on the

Majestic

Steel Range

The MAJESTIC oven operates upon a new and scientific principle. When meat is roasted in the oven (which is an air-tight compartment) the natural juices, are preserved. Bread baked in it is sweet and moist, and will keep so for days. The Majestic is like no other stove you ever saw. It is better than any other, COOPER BROS. HARDWARE CO.Asts.

It is singular to note how largely the ranks of the dramatic profession are being recruited from the newspaper editorial room. Not only is this true in reference to managers and agents, but also in regard to the more distinctive position, the writing of successful plays. Gus Thomas, the author of “Alabama,” was for many years a reporter on western newspapers, in Kansas City and St. Louis, and afterward became the advance agent for a dramatic company, be ing accounted in that position one of the brightest young men who ever went at the head of a “show.” He decided upon a career of authorship long befoie acquiring his present great distinction as the author ot “Alabama.” He had some successes and several failures, hut the latter did not discourage him. In everything that he did write, high literary gifts, polished language and polite sentiment were always observable. Among the

Republicans from all over the county were in the city today shaking hands and congratulating over the great republican victory of Tuesday. They nil left for their homes firm iu the belief that they can carry Putnam county next year. The Star-l’rcss belches out the information to democrats that “it is now time to stop this monkey and parrot business.” Truly the StarPress might go further and add that its pnrty has been experiencing what the parrot said when he and the monkey quit their memora ble aud historic fight—“We have! had a h—1 of u time.”

The Democrat speaks this week of Brice as being “an unscrupulous speculator attempting to force himself upon the people of a state of

“SIX FPOXEX FACTS." Ttie New York Advertiser has j condensed iu a very email space 1 the reasons wiiy the people of the j United States shall reject Democratic national control at the federal elections next year, and restore the administration of affairs to the hands of the republican party. Under the caption, “Six Frozen Facts,” is given these reasons, as follows: During the four years that BenjTtiuin Harrison occupied the presidency, federal revenues exceeded expenditures nearly $210,000,000. During the last two years under Grover Cleveland, federal receipts have fallen $112,028,309.87 behind expenditures. When Benjamin Harrison stepped down trom the chief magistracy of the nation in 1893, the interest bearing debt ot the federal government was substantially $585,000,000. On June 30th last, after a little over two years of Cleveland “financiering” and free tariff' tink ering, the interest bearing debt had swollen to $710,202,060. During the fiscal year which closed on June 30, 1893, most of which year a republican president tenanted the White House, this country built 3,897 miles of railroad. In the following year, under the withering blight of Clevelandism. it built less than half that number, or to be exact, 1,247 miles. In 1893, the first year that the benificent effects of the McKinley tariff law began to manifest themselves, the people of the United States sold goods amounting to $1,015,732,011 to people abroad. During the last fiscal year, ten months of which the iniquitous Wtlson-Gorman tariff law was in operation, the exports from this country had shrunk to $793,553,018. According to the census ot 1890 the total amount of wages paid in the United States that year, a year when the republican party controlled the executive and law making departments of the nation, reached the magnificent sum of $5,282,823,205. In 1894, under Grover Cleveland and a democratic congress, only the beggarly sum of about $1,200,000,000 was paid in

wages.

In 1890 the value of the manufacturing products of this country was $39,370,107,024. Four years later, thanks to the malign influence of a democratic president and a democratic assault upon the factories, shops, mines and farms ot this republic, the value of those products had dwindled to a little over $5,000,000,000. The sheet on east Franklin street which publishes “ginuinc” news has not yet discovered that the Democrat has brought to Greencustle a fine new Babcock printing press and an engine, Presumably it has been too busy compiling college gossip.—(Ireencastle Democrat. We have been a trifle busier this week than usual, neighbor, on ac count of election news, which presumably caused us to overlook your Babcock press and engine, which we hope w ill proye a joj to

a letter to a verson in South Africa telling him that a certain package is field for postage. The package has been sealed, or there would be enough postage to pay its way. As it is, the man in South Africa can, by remitting a dollar and a half, receive a fifty cent necktie. There was in the postoffice not long ago a package of photographs. They were unsealed, and without writing the postage would have been 11 cents, but the age of a child was written on one, and it was over $2. Another instance recalled by Mr. Jones is the case of a package in tin addressed to a man in Ireland. The postage was over $3. It was a can of cranberries. Mr. Jones says he scarcely hopes to educate the people, but he hopes that his circulars may save some packages and presents from going astray, and for that reason he sent them out to be posted in every office, asking peo pie to look more carefully into the regulations relating to postage, and see that their parcels are properly mailed.

Minifttera’ Blun<l«r*. A minister announced that he would preach the next Sunday on the subject: “He that believethand is baptized shall be saved and he that believeth not shall be damned precisely at half past three in the afternoon.” This reminds us of the story of a minister who had two churches in one city, preaching in one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. In one of his announcements from the pulpit of the north end church, be said: “There will be a meeting in the north end church at 10 o’clock next Sunday at the south end church at 4 Parents having children to be baptized will bring them to these services, children will be baptized at both ends.”

By making examinations of the eyes of all school children Dr. Shipley has demonstrated one thing, and that is that eye defects do not increase with school life. In making examination of the eyes of 122 children Dr. Shipley has found 48 with defective vision, (or about 40 per cent) of these 48 the average age is ten years. In otlwr words he has found as many children at the age of six with defective vision as lie has found at the age of fourteen. Above facts prove to a certainty that nearly one half of all the people are born with defective vision. It is fortunate, however, that all eye troubles can be corrected. The examinations will continue from week to week through the entire year. Dr. Shipley requests parents (as many as can) to send children in the forenoon. So many have been go ing in the afternoon that it lias been almost impossible to examine

the eyes of all.

FIDDLE STICKS.

Next to a good violin a skillful player values a good BOW which must be straight, elastic or “springy” and light in weight. A cheap stick is made of maple, a better one of redwood, one still better of snakewood, but the finest bows are made of Pernambuco wood, which as no other combines the essential qualities of straightness, elasticity ar.d lightness. A good bow of tins kind weighs less than two ounces and costs from two to sixty dollars. The sixty dollae kind I do not keep in stock, but shall take pleasure in ordering for you.

If I went up one flight of stairs I felt sa though I should fall. I had palpitation of the heart and eatfered greatly with catarrh of the head and throat. I finally decided to try Hood’a Bareaparllla, end toon felt better. I nsed the tnlrd bottle and I then felt like a different person. I hope others In ill health will do as I did.

Holiday CalendarN. The holiday season, when the purse of the people is freely opened, and everyone feels the general goodwill so universal at that time, is close at hand. The shrewd merchant avails himself of the opportunity to present his patrons with a holidaj-souvenir, prized for its beauty and elegance, and which will, if in the shape of a Calendar, prove an advertisement of his business throughout the entire succeeeding year, and therefore a money maker. The Banner Times has been fortunate in securing the agency of the August Gast Bank-Note and Litho Co. of St. Louis, which is the largest manufacturing and importing house in the country, and whose fine work requires no introduction. The advantageous terms that we have made enable us to offer their medium priced and fine imported designs at prices which are unequaled. and as low, if not lower, than prices made by that celebrated firm direct.
