The pure food commission of Ohio has seized and condemned several car loads of patent eggs sent to that State from the east, to be sold to the local trade. The State chemist say the albumen in the desiccated egg is obtained from the eggs of lish-eat-ing sea-birds, which can be secured by the million on the low, uninhabilal islands along the Atlantic coast. They are not fit for food, and the albumen alone is taken from them in making desiccated eggs. It is amusing to see the frantic efforts that McKinley and his followers are making to bring the Protection idea forward as an issue in the coming campaign—the anti-McKinley Republicans won’t have it that way, well knowing that a campaign made in favor of Protection would result in defeat—there would be nothing but despair in the ranks from start to finish. Future changes in the tariff will result in still further reduction of tariff taxation.

The women of Indiana are fast gaining their rights along some lines, at least. Females are employed in Indiana as follows : There are 7,048 fanners and 504 agricultural laborers, 9,432 teachers, 31,095 domestic servants, 3,178 laundresses, 2,407 housekeepers, 1,937 clerks, 707 boarding housekeepers, 1,523 merchants and saleswomen, 230 stenographers and type-writers, 140 telegraph and telephone operators, OS shoemakers and repairers, 8,115 dressmakers, 2,571 milliners, 5,083 seamstresses, 1,132 tailors.

Some fools, so-called friends of Cleve. 1 and , are booming him for a third term, in covert terms. This sort of thing is sickening to the masses— they don’t like booms by insinuation ; they believe in plain words and plain sailing. None hut sycophants and federal oflicials are indulging in this rot, and these classes care naught for Democracy—they simply seek to have plenty of butter and jelly on theirbread for the present, and the future can go to the enternal bow wows, so far as they are concerned. The Democratic party cannot afford to countenance third termism, and it will not.

Many vain glorious Republicans lay the Haltering unction to their souls that they are sure to win in the next coining Presidential election, no matter what the party record is between now and November, 189G, assuming that the people have not discovered the mistake made at the polls last year. These Republicans fail to note the changes wrought by time and experience; they forget that last year the Democratic party suffered reverse at the polls simply because the Republican party bequeathed to it a season of business stagnation and financial panic that was purely the outcome of Republican legislatii'n, the people failing to note where the u rponsibility therefor j ustly rested. Since thH time, and as a result of wise legb. : i n by the Democaatic party, a, ivity has succeeded stagnation in industrial lines, and the financial panic has given way before increased confidence whereby money is seeking investment, and flowing into ail the channels of trade. Possibly, Republicans will not feel so confident, after their Congresiouai “zoo meets in Washington this winter and makes a record—the indications are that the a SK re g at *on of bipeds that goes to make up this Republican collection of freaks will make a sad mess of it in attempting to enact the roles of statesmen and law givers.

The everpresent newspaper reporter has been interviewing McKinley, and in the interview he confessed that his native town, Canton, Ohio, had recovered from the bankruptcy which o’ershadowed it while the McKinley bill was in force, and the manufacturing concerns located there are now as prosperous or more prosperous than ever. The people of Canton are doubtless convinced that the Wilson tariff bill is a pretty good law, and that the McKinley tariff bill was an ill conceived and panic propagating measure. When the votes are polled and the ballots are counted .in November, 1896, it will be found that the people are educated. The result will demonstrate an increased Democratic vote and a greater Democratic victory than has been even dreamed of by the most sanguine. The currency question will be fairly presented in the National Dtmocratic platform, a .d bimetallism will be frankly advocated and endorsed. This, with the ever increasing evidences of the sub stantial benefits resulting from the reform in the tariff inaugurated by the Wilson bill, places the Democratic party on the sure road to victory The tariff legislation of the Democra tic party bears inspection ; by its fruit it is judged. In a recent editorial the Pittsburgh Post says: “The Carnegie Company at Homestead paid out on Saturday $110,000 in wages to their men. Tiiis showed an advance of $11,000 that goes to labor because of the recent increase in wages. All this was under the Wilson tariff. The Carnegie works had quite a different experience in 1892 under the McKinley law, at a time when the Wilson tariff was not dreamed of, and five months before the election of president. There was a reduction of wages and a proscription of labor organizations under the McKinley tariff. Wages advanced under the Wilson tariff. The woikingmen are sizing up the situation. They are getting better wages than under the closing years of McKinleyism, and besides that the purchase power of their wages has been materially increased. They can buy more of the necessities for the same

money.”

The new woman—she who dons bloomers and rides a wheel—is mak ing her mark in the world. She has rights, and dares to m -'nilain them, and then again she has immaginary rights that she also dares to manitain. One has righteously brought a traducer to time, and another has unrighteously violated the majesty of law, as represented in a constable, after the following fashion: In Florida town the other day a young woman appeared in bloomers on s wheel. A storekeeper made a slight ing, flippant remark reflecting on her character. She heard of it afterward, rode to the offender’s place of business, entered the place and drawing a revolver covered her traducer with it, forcing him to apologize and to promise that he would print a retraction in the papers. In Columbus, Ohio, recently a constable attempted to levy an attachment on a bicycle which its fair rider had left at the curbstone while site entered c. chop. The bloomer girl returned just in time to see the constable seize the wheel, and in two minutes she whipped him to a standstill. The police took him to a hospital; the girl took ter wheel

away.

Died, August 5. 1895, Clara Vesta Mosier, wife of William Mosier, after a brief illness, aged ‘25 years, 3 months, and 33 days. Vesta was a member of the M. K. Church having united with that church at the age of sixteen years, and had lived a constant and devoted Christian to the time of her death; always the same; always thoughtful of those about her. thus showing to those who she came in contact with the beautiful traits that characterize the true Christian. She is gone but her gentle voice and kind words will ever be remembered. Oh. how our hearts do ache today And trickling tears unnumbered fall, For Vesta’s chair is empty now And sadness fills the hearts of ail. In losing Vesta the bereaved husband lias lost n kind and affectionate wife whose sweet disposition and bright smiles made home so pleasant, hot let him remember In bis bitter soi row that we must all cross the chilly waters of death, and that the Savior has only calltd his beautiful companion home to rest. She leaves an infant child little Joyce, a motjei four sisters and three brothers besides many near and dear relatives are left to mourn her loss. Funeral services was held at the M. E. Church Wednesday, burial at the Oloverdale

cemetery.

Dearest Vesta thou hast left us Here thy loss we deeply feel. But ‘tis Qod that hast bereft us He will all our sorrow heal. Yet again we hope to meet thee When the day of life is tied.

And in heaven we hope to greet thee

Where no farewell tear is shed.

A Frienp. Obituary.

J. Virgil Broadstreet, son of Quinton and Ellen Broadstreet, was born in Mill Creek township, Putnam county, Indiana, January 9, 1878, and died of tubercular meningitis, at his home in Greencastle, Putnam county, Indiana, August?, 1895, at 7:20 p. in., aged 17 years, C mouths, ami 28 day. He had been a patient sufferer for more than 10 years. Virgil (as lie was familiarly called by hi* ucquaitances and youthful associates) was a boy of wonderful courage, energy and brightness, for on.' who suffered so much pain and sickness from his continued affiiction. He was of spotless character, as pure and innocent as the babe; sweet in his disposition, the charm of his family, and loved by all who knew him. His disposition was so sweet and kind and his ways so gentle and child-like, that ids youthful associates were many, who sought his company and friendship. His social nature was so sweet and congenial, that it adapted itself not only to the enjoyment of his youthful companions, liut also to his acquaintances of mature years. He was quiet in ids disposition, yet was familiar and conversant with subjects that were pleasing to the young, as well as the old, embracing all of the elements of character that caused him to l e agreeable with all who were faVored with Ids acquaintance. He was the idol and constant companion of ids beloved and stricken father, accompanying him where ever lie went, whether upon the farm or at the office. Their association became so marked that they were looked upon by the public as two inseparable companions. The tie lias been broken; the companionship lias been forever severed. A pure life lias gone to the God who gave it; a home has been filled with tiie deepest sorrow, but the example and memory of ids sweet life will soothe the sorrow of his stricken family will render better the lives of those who knew him. The funeral took place on Fiiday, services being held at the residence in tins city, and also at the Baptist Church, in Stilesville, by Dr. W. D. Hill, of this city. The remains were buried in the family plat, at the Stilesville cemetery. xx

Obituary.

Mrs. John Starr died at Marshalltown, Iowa, Aug. 5, at 2 a. in., after months of suffering which even the best medical skill could not alleviate. The body was brought to her old home, and then in a few hours was carried to Croy’s Creek Church, where services were conducted by Rev. Johnson and Mrs. Runyan. Mrs. Starr was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Cal. Plummer, living south of Keelsville. She leaves her parents, brother, sister and husband, besides a large circle of friends to mourn her loss. Ethel, as she was commonly called by her friends, was born in May, 1867, and was married Aug. 25, 18'.ii, to Prof. John Starr, of Mar shalltown, Iowa, wtio-owns and con ducts a business college at that place. Our friend Ethel us it child wh* cheerful and happy, as a pupil in school was loved by all, and in later years as a student was bright and industrious. Several years of her lire were devoted to teaching, and the same cheerfulness, industry and nobility of ciiaracter that marked her whole lit- whs here in school brought to bear on her pupils and lasting good work whs done. There was nothing of egotism in the make up of Ethel. She was a natural girl, bright intellectually, quiet in her manners, in all things true as steel, and consequently she was socially much respected, admired nod trusted. When her wedding day arrived we all were sorry to give her up, but glad, too, when we thought of the true home she was helping to found. Her home was a truly happv, Christian one, and Ethel and her husband lived to make each other happy and at the same time to do all the good to those around that was possible. Not quite four short years had passed when death came and called Ethel away. Why one so geiuieund true and useful should i>e taken from us, when this world is so much in need of such fearless workers as she, is one of the mysteries which often confronts us, and makes it at times hard to say “Thy will be done.” What is our loss, friend Ethel will gain, as she has only gone to eternal rest, and is only absent from us for a little while. Death is more sad to us because of its mystery, but could we think of it as Whittier did it would help us to be submissive to our loss, for he says: "Death seems hut a covered way

Which opens tnto light,

Wherein uo blinded '-Slid esu M-ay

Beyond the Father'- sleht.”

Many people, old and young, attended the funeral, and while the hearts felt that words could not express the loss they felt and the syn* pathy for the bereft ones, yet the departure of our much loved friend is

Family Reunion. On Thursday, Aug. 8, there gathered at the beautiful grove that surrounds old Somerset Church, a large number of the descendants of Wm. Nelson, who was a resident of Montgomery county. Ky., his home living near Mt. Sterling. With them assembled a great many relatives and friends from various parts of this couutiy. Inan early day three sisters of William Nelson came to tiie part of the country -they were Mrs. Mary Farrow, Mrs. Margaret Farrow and Mrs. Jane Foster, many of whose descendants attended the Nelson reunion. All members of the family heartily join in inviting them to come, with their friends, to the next annual reunion. Tiie day was beautiful and all enjoyed it, especially the children, who were there in members. At noon there was spread a bounteous repast, one seldom equalled and never excelled on a similar occasion. In the afternoon we had some splendid music, by a trained choir and orchestra, to whom the family extend thanks for adding so much to tiie pleasure of the occasion: thev also return thanks to Hon. H. M. Handel and Capt. Smiley for interesting addresses made. Among tho e from a distance in attendance were John Hall of Chicago, Mrs. M. Dooley and son, W. L. Dooley, of Hloomington.'IH) 1 .
