THE FOUNTAIN 15 FLOWING SuperintendenCef t Works r ." KTs » :» on t" - r« pair at tl.e public fountain y-stt r\iay morn uag. He found Ibe tusk a much lighter ooe than anticipated and before 2 o'clock in the afternoon lie had the wau r flowing. I'pu close examination it was found that by at«andoning the use of the tee attachment re pair- could be made tliat would put the fountain iu work ing order with little expenditure of either time or money. A portion of the corroded pipe was within reach above the concrete foundation. By cutting this out aud iusertiug a new s«*ction it was found that the water flowed all right. But little digging was requm-d and the whole job. which it was feared would prove such a difficult and expensive one. was di-- j*»ed of in less than a day. The abandonment of the ice will not prove much of a deprivation, as it is one feature of the fountain that was never much of a success. Aside from the cost which makes it impracti cable to keep the fountain supplied, the receptacle for the ice, it is claimed, is too far away, so that the water be comes warm in the pij>e and by the time it is drawn for drinking is found to be but little improved. Ice or no ice, however, the fountain fulfills a noble mission. Its very presence yesterday seemed to bring an additional charm to the corner. Dur ing the long hot summer before us many a weary and jaded horse driven into town will have an opportunity of quenching his thirst which other wise might be obliged to return many miles into the country before given any water. There are human beings, too, who when thirsty do not despise the water that flows from the fountain. All that is necessary now in order that the noble gift of the W. C. T. U. may enter upon its summer's mission fully equipped is for some charitably inclined person to donate a drinking cup, which should be chained to the fountain. DKAKIVKSS CANNOT UK CTKKU by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by au inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Kustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed yon have a rumbling sound or im perfect hearing, and when it is entirely clos ed deafness is the result, and unless the in flammation can betaken out aud this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out often are caused by catarrh,which is nothing but an in flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

In a recent article a prominent phy sician says,"lt is next to impossible for the physician to get his patients to carry out any prescribed course of hygi ene or diet to the smallest extent; he has but one resort left.namely, the drug treatment." When medicines are used for chronic constipation, the most mild and gentle obtainable,sucb as Chamber lain's Stomach & Liver Tablets, should be employed. Their use is not followed by constipation as they leave the bowels in a natural and healthy condition. For sale by Paules & Co. 342 Mill street. Marriage License Granted.

Tore Canvas Top Off Wagon, On Thursday night the stable ot Owens, the Mill street grocer, was broken into and a piece of the canvas top on the delivery wagon was torn out. The stable is owned by William H. Manger and is at the rear of his residence, No. 14 West Mahoning street. Mr. Owens took posession of it a few days ago. When the stable was opened Fri day morning it was found that a strip had been torn from the canvas top, a foot in width and the full length ot the wagon. Part of the lettering and number of the store was on the por tion ripped out. There were no other signs about the stable that would in dicate an attempt to rob and it looks very much like a clear case ot malic ious mischief. None ot the Mauger family heard any noise in the stable and Mr. Owens lias no idea who is re sponsible for the act.

Refreshments consisting of ice cream and cake were served. The coal mine owners have decided that this is as good a time as any to raise the price of coal, so they make the poor miner responsiple and im mediately put up the price per ton to the consumer. But what the use of kicking about the cost of coal, when thejirice of meat precludes the pos sibility of using any coal with which to cook meat ? Parents who have a proper regard for the welfare of their children will spare no pains to control them so that they shall be kept from truancy and out of the houses of correction and re formatories. The hoy is often father of the man. In the language of the an cient couplet, " 'Tis education forms the common mind, Just as the twig is bent the tree's in clined." The courts should not lie called upon so frequently to try cases of truancy and petty offences for which children are sent to houses of correction. In many such cases the indifference of parents to the moral training of their offspring is blameable, a negligence which they regret when it is too late. Weigh Office Removed.

A train of twelve cars, known as the "Good Roads Special," left Wash ington on the lines of the Southern railway early in Novemlier to stop at ten or twelve of the chief eities reached by the system and aid in organizing rood roads associations and :tt the same time give practical illustration of modern roadmaking.

When the train arrives, the engineers will begin at once to build about a mile of dirt road with the teams, men and materials furnished by the local ity. They will then surface or macad amize as much of that road as their time will permit. When the practica bility of the movement has been thus manifested, the mayor and commercial organizations will unite in a call for a public meeting to organize an associa tion. President Moore of the National Good Roads association says of the project: "The south can have good roads if it will, aud the sooner the citizens get to gether and work along sotue well or ganized and practical line these results will be reached the quicker. There Is nothing that will do more to increase the value of virgin lands and advance the development of the rural districts than well constructed public roads. The improvement of the road system will have a wonderful effect upon stim ulating the settlement of people on farms, and as these settlements are be ing made so will the value of the land increase. "Wherever a city or town is found possessing well made roadways lead ing therefrom you will find the busi ness of that point is in a prosperous condition. Therefore the citizens of every town in the south will be pro moting their own interests if they give this movement their moral and if nec essary financial support. "It is hoped that every state, county, city and town officer will give this sub ject of better roads serious considera tion and then take the matter in hand immediately and show his constituents that the movement for better roads will receive his utmost consideration nnd utmost co-operation. "It is universally decided that good roads are what we want. In order to secure them we must pull together, working systematically and on practi cal lines. This grand tour, planned by the Southern Railway company, is a signal for action. If the states visit ed are not alive to this and do not avail themselves of the opportunity to secure Information rendered by the good roads special train, no one will be at fault except the citizens of the states in which the exhibits are made."

He cast a quick glance about him, as if for some ouo to take me lit charge. His action reassured me. Had I made a mistake? 1 looked again at his hair, this time through eyes unterri lied. It was auburn. I remarked his eyes. They were blue and. Instead «>f scintillating, were very mild. Mean while the man was studying me. Grad ually he came to look upon me as sane, after all, for he said: "I atu Arthur Andrews. I was to come to Old Oaks for over Sunday with my friend Tom Winslow. 1 have evidently got into the wrong place." Oh, my stars. 1 have mistaken Tom's friend for a lunatic! 1 would rather suffer any torture than confess my er ror. I must jret rid of him before he discovers v.lio 1 am. "Old Oaks is the next place to ours," I said. "I'oubtless you will easily find it if you 1; *ep right on down the road." "The gateway?" "Just like ours—a ball on each post." "Are tho columns brownstone or granite? Yours, 1 see, are granite." "Theirs are granite too." "Square or round?" To this I made no reply. Somehow I didn't like his tone. Resides, there was no necessity in being so minute. "Thanks." he said. "1 will doubtless find the place. 1 am sorry to have dis turbed yon." lie departed. I arose, went to the house ai d shut myself up in my room. In the afternoon I heard Tom talking with sot.ie one on the piazza. 1 looked through the blinds and saw the—the lunatic! 1 ranjt for the maid and when she came told her to tell my brother that 1 had one of my sick headaches and would not be well till Monday—after the train had gone. Tom came to me and found me with a wet c ; oth on my brow. "Awful sorry, Lucy; have brought Arthur Andrews up purposely to meet you." "Oh, go away, Tom! You don't know how I suffer." The next Saturday Tom brought "the lunatic," as 1 called him, for another Sunday. Before 1 met either of them I overheard a conversation which indi cated they had explained mv action to their own satisfaction. 1 went down stairs and walked out on the piazza as cool as an iced cucumber. "My friend, Arthur Andrews," said Tom, "of whom you have often heard me speak." "Think I have had the pleasure of meeting you before," said the guest, smiling. "When?' I asked, with well feigued wonder. "A week ago today," "You must be mistaken. Last Satur day I was coi'. r incd to my room with a sick headache." Arthur Andrews made frequent vlsit3 to Old Oaks, and we took many a stroll through the grounds. I always dreaded to pass the gateway, for Arthur would invariably ask me about that counter part which stood at the entrance of that other Old Oaks a short distance below. I met these sallies with a dig nified silence, hoping that in time lie would become tired of them. When ho chose the shadow of this gateway as a place to propose marriage, 1 rejected him. He afterward selected another 6pot, and i accepted him. AUIKTTA HOPE TI'RNOIIU Old Ace Insurance.
