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.

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.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can

Wou't Follow Advice After Paying For it.
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.

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.

The coal mine owners have decided
that this is as good a time as any to

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.

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."

Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
rV-Vnjß* disappear when the kid
neys are out of order
-UtillVA JM> or diseased.
~ Kidney trouble has
*tjtfn'lbecome so prevalent
' j] that'* is no * uncommon
\v /[ _-j/ for a chili to be born
/» UV \ afflicted with weak kid-
Lj 1 j)g— ' neys. If the chili urin-
ISa. ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if. when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it.the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.

Swamp-Root is soon realued. It is srid

MIS 1 HORSEMEN.
On Wednesday morning the 'Jo inst..
I found that one of my valuable mated
bay horses had been kicked in the hock
by the other one, sometime during the
previous night. 1 found him in a most
deplorable condition. His hock was
swollen as tight as the skin would hold.
The joint was three or four times its
normal siz". The horse could not bear
a single pound of weight on if.
1 applied MOYKIC s WHITI: I.INIMKNT
freely to the affected part at once. I»y
evening the swelling was reduced one
half. 1 bathed it again and on Tliur
day morning the swelling had entirely
disappeared. He could now stand
firmly on the injured leg again and by
Thursday night no sign of lameness
could be seen.
This Friday morning lie is working in
the team as well as ever.
The value of such a liniment on the
farm ami in the stable is incalcnable.
I think the knowledge of its merits
should lie spread broadcast as rapidly
and tis thoionghly as printer's ink can
make it known.

THE POWER OF

TOriplnal 1
Mr brother Tom wa- ox por ted from
tho city, ami I wits sitting in the sum
mer Louse waiting for him. A man up
proached whom 1 recognized a- one of
the attendants at the insane asylum a
few miles away.

"Are there two such gatewayst** h*
asked presently.
"A dom."
My heart was beating wildly. My
strained Imagination showed me ot.ty
a madman w |»o would murder me if I
did not succeed in turning him away.
"These are the asylum grounds," I
cried. *t)o away at once! They are
looking for you. The keeper was here
this morning. lie has l>een gone orly
an hour. He told me if you came to
telephone him, hut I won't. I hope
you will get away."
lty this time I had become hysterical
and began to laugh and cry by turns.
The young man looked as badly fright
ened as I. 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.
