Inquire of Mrs. H. West, East Main It The sale of Court House bonds on last Friday attracted a number of bidders from different sections of the country-one bidder representing a banking house at Portland, Me. The Court House and Jail bonds, running aloutll years, brought a premium of $1181, and were bid in by Harris bankers, Chicago, and the 813,000 refunding 11-year bonds, were sold to AV. J.

Hays Chicago, at a premium of It is understood that since the sale the 30,000 block has been transferred to the latter firm. TnE municipal and the school authorities down at Bellaire have for some time been engaged in a wrangle over the time question. The former very sensibly insist upon keeping true time, and the latter upon keeping Philadelphia time. The railroads, in order to help along the confusion, keep St. Louis time.

As a result of all this needless confusion, the poor people down there scarcely know when Sunday comes, much less the time of day. Clover Seed A choice lot; home grown. Sold for cash only. 2 28-2t Geo. Jepso.

B. S. Morgan, State School Superintendent for West Virginia, were married yesterday, at the U. P. Church, Wheeling Mrs.

Julia McKelvey, a relative of the bride, was among those in attendance at ceremony. Mr. Rees, of the School Board, is warmly in favor of adding three members to that body. Mr. Milligan is opposed to it.

Mr. Shannon has not expressed himself. Persons who have given thought to the matter think it ought to l)e done; whether it will, or not, is a question. The infant child of Mr. and Mrs.

I. S. Powers, died on Friday, and the remains, accompanied by the parents, were taken to near Winchester on the following day, where interment took place on Sunday.

Oxe of the important elections to the people next fall will be the election of a land appraiser in each township. The weather crank predicts a big frost on May 25th, for the heavy fog on the same day Of January. Say, when you come to making up your ticket for the spring election, give the old town a chanee.

The ConHtration Clerk furnishes the public some figures, through the medium of his-orgau. awl with much complacency concludes that they vindicate our town government.

We respectfully submit that they do no such thing -but. on the contrary, establish its improvidence. The (hizetlt says: Takini; the last complete vear. which ended on the urt Mondavof March. the Lit.ii exeiidi-tures 01 the town were TJ.

It will be seen 83,410 was paid on account of principal and interest of bonds and 81,218 55 on account of street lighting, leaving a balance of 81,915 17, which whi.h was expended for what? Read the Clerk's exhibit again: 8501 for police, SS50 97 froni the general fund, and 8563 20 for the streets. Admit that the police expenditure was justifiable, if you will; why should the general fund expenditures be 8S5o? and where are S5fi3 worth of improvements visible on the streets? Together these expenditures (general fund and street) aggregate 81,414 17.

What is there to show for it Will the able Clerk please point it out? It would seem that the general fund expenditures ought to be reduced 50 per and that ought to make a visible improvement somewhere on the streets. Xow, we respectfully submit that this authoritative statement establishes what has been stated in these columns, namely: That in ten years last past the people of St. Clairsville have paid moneys for which they have received no adequate return sufficient to pave a large part of Main street. No one except the able Clerk disputes the proposition that it is desirable to improve and beautify the town. Is it not possible to do it, without burdening the people with taxation It would seem so.

CHURCH MATTERS. A largely attended meeting in the interest of missions was held in the M. E. Church Sunday evening. The exercises were conducted by Mrs.

Dr. Hollingshead, the President of the M. E. Missionary Society. An essay was read by Miss Effie Garrison, and selections read by Mrs.

Julia McKelvey and Mrs. Alice Mitchell. Rev. John Giffen, of the U. P.

Church, many years a missionary in Egypt, delivered an intensely interesting address, in which he talked of the manners and customs of the people of that ancient land, and of the Mohammedan religion. The exercises were interspersed with music by the church choir, and were greatly enjoyed by all who were present. will be preaching at the M. E. Church on Friday evening, and services Saturday morning.

Communion on Sunday. Rev. Dr. Mills, the Presiding Elder, will conduct the exercises on Saturday and Sunday. The ladies of the Presbyterian congregation are untiring in their efforts to raise means for furnishing their splendid new church edifice.

On Monday night their exchequer was further increased by a festival. The new U. P. Church, it will be borne in mmd, will be dedicated next Thursday, the 27th inst. It is thought the U.

P. Church brethren have made a mistake, in that no provision is made for an organ. Many congregations of that denomination have already admitted the organ, and the probabilities are its use in all of them is a question of very short time. It is asserted by persons who have been around that the new Presbyterian Church at St. Clairsville is the finest in Southeastern Ohio.

The congregation is the oldest, why should n't it have the best building FIRE AT LEWIS' MILLS. The storeroom and warehouse occupied by A. C. Landers, at Lewis' Mills, and their contents were entirely destroyed by fire about 1 o'clock Tuesday morning. At wo different times during the night Mr.

whose residence was about fifty feet from the store, heard noises indicative of the presence of some one about the premises, but did not go into the store to make an investigation. Later he heard an explosion, which proved to be that of a small quantity of gunpowder in the store, but thinking it some one trying to force an entrance, he arose from bed and discovered the building on fire. A hasty examination showed that burglars had entered the warehouse through a window by prying off the iron bar which served as a fastening, and escaped by the same opening, leaving the front and rear doors barred as they found them. The robbers in their flight dropped a few small articles, which were found near the fence back of the store, such as a match- safe, box of spool silk, combs, knives, etc. The building was a frame one, and was soon reduced to ashes, nothing of conse quence being saved.

It was owned by Alonzo Gayhart, who now resides at Washington, and it is probably cov ered by insurance. The stock of merchandise of Mr. Landers was insured for 8800. It is supposed that the burglars came out from Bellaire and left on a freight train which had been on the siding. REAL ESTATE SALES.

28 2 AN IMPORTANT OPINION. In the Common Fleas Court on day, in the case of Findlay rs. The Commissioners of Belmont County, Judge Driggs laid down some plain propositions of law which deserve to be heeded. Findlay brought suit to recover a judgment for the reasonable value of work and labor performed by him in making approaches to a bridge on Gulch Run. It is alleged that the work was done by Find lay at the request of one of the Board of Commissioners; that the Board accepted the work and were now using the same, and the county having the benefit of it.

Below will be found an abstract of the opinion of the Court, the gist of which is that the Commissioners can transact no business whatever except at their office, and that no agreement or contract made by one member is valid and binding on the county. This opinion is precisely in harmony with what has been asserted in these columns; and we congratulate the people that an authoritative proclamation of the law has been made. Held First, That a Board of County Commissioners is a quasi corporation, a local organization, for the purpose of civil administration, vested with a few of the functions characteristic of a corporate existence. A grant of power to such Board must be strictly construed. Second, The law establishing a Board of County Commissioners and prescribing their duties confers upon them power to perform only such duties as may be required of them by law.

Third, That such duties must, in order to be valid and binding upon the county they represent, be performed by such Commissioners as a Board in the manner at the time and place prescribed by law. Fourth, All proceedings of the Board (two members of wiiich shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business), must be public, at the office of the Auditor or Commissioners' office, and not elsewhere. Fifth, That it is essential to validity of every contract entered into by such Board that the same be assented to at a regular or special meeting thereof, and entered in the minutes of their proceedings by the Auditor. Sixth, That a contract made by one of the Commissioners is not binding on the Board or county. Seventh, That a contract made by two or more of Board, when not assented to by them at a regular or special meeting and entered on their journal, does not bind them or the county.

Eighth, That the contract or request in this case having been made by one of the Commissioners, and not having been assented to by the Board at a regular or special meeting and entered on the record of proceedings, is absolutely void. Ninth, That County Commissioners have no power to contract for the construction of bridges, nor the approaches thereto, unless the cost of such bridge or approaches exceed the sum of SuO. here the cost is 850 or less Township Trustees in the township where such bridge or approaches are located, have the exclusive power to construct the same. Invalid readers will find that one dollar expended or Dr. Parker's great medi cal work, the "Science of Life," will be of more value to them than ten thousand dollars expended for proprietory medicines, electric appliances, etc.

A Souvenir of Harrison's Inauguration. Every Republican recognizes the immense influence of New York Press in the recent Xational election, and it seems fitting that it should con-tain the best report of Harrison's inauguration. This it has prepared to do, and on March 4th and 5th 27te Press will be an 8-page paper for one cent and contain the most graphic and most interesting reports, written by Joseph Howard, of the inaugural festivities and ceremonies. The Press has the largest circulation of any paper in America and is bound to celebrate this great event in a proper newspaper manner. It will be well to order The Press of the Xewsdealer in advance, and its sales on these days will be immense.

Sufferers are not generally aware that these diseases are contagious, or that tliey are due to the presence of living parasites in the Bning membrane of the nose and eustachian tubes. Microscopic research, however, has proved this to be a fact and the result is that a simple remedy has been formulated whereby catarrh, catarrlial deafness and nay fever are permanently cured in from one to three simple applications made at home by the patient once in two weeks.
