Write us an advertisement to be insert­ed in our local papers, to occupy our usual space (although if the ad. is extra good we w ill use additional space). All manuscript to be submitted, written plainly; use one side of paper only; to be left at or mailed to the Plaindealer office, and for same we offer three prizes—1st, 2d, 3d best. Judges to be announced next week. No restrictions on age. In fact we expect and wish school boys and girl from the country districts and both village schools to enter this contest. Their ideas are more apt to be “up to date” and “catchy” than the older people’s. Still, we wish all to contest. Give name and age on each paper submitted, but state whether you have any objection to name being pub­lished; otherwise name will by printed with the advertisement. You may receive hints and help from anyone. Perhaps you know that advertisement writers now receive as high salaries as are paid. Turn your brain into $ and ets. Our stock consists of Lum­ber, Lath, Shingles, Lime, Hair, Cement, Coal, Nails, Wagon Scales, Paints, Sash, Doors, Blinds, Moulding, Building Pjiper, and in fact all Building Material. Contest to remain open until further notice. Watch for results next week.

He treated my disease but (kited do me any good, and X fell away Jto op pounds, began using Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical E covery, and thank God and you, I began to 1 prove. Now I weigh 140 pounds and have onl. taken two bottles. I cannot say too much aboui the medicine. My husband says I look youngei than I did the first time he saw me, 15 years ago.”

Diamonds to be Made.A Washington scientist will bu

laboratory at Niagara Falls and use current for crystallizing pure carb to diamonds of great size. White I been possible for some years to pure diamonds by using carbon made have been too small to be 9! commercial value. It is now a by the scientist of Washington that has deviaed a plan by which preoious stones of any size can be made.

The diamonds heretofore made were fused by tiling impure oarbon, that of commerce, such as willow charcoal. Dr. B. H. Johnson, of Washington, dis­cards such ola*fashioned methods, and will use only the element provided by nature—that ft, the pure oarbon found in mines all over the country. Real dia­monds—those dug in their natural state —are merely the crystallization of this pure carbon made by a process which is supposed to have occupied many mil­lions of years.

Scatters His Father’s Ashes.Obedient to his aged father’s dy

request, Ernest Rosen stood over the center arch of the Eads bridge at St. Louis at 4:30 o’clock the other after­noon,1 opened a vase, and scattered its contents broadcast on the muddy, tur­bulent waters of the Mississippi river.

Carl Rosen, an aged piano maker who had long ago retired, died at the resi­dence of his son. When the old man realized that his end was near, he sol­emnly adjured his son Ernest to have his body cremated and to scatter bis ashes over the bosom of the Father of Waters.

I have had the habit for years, and late­ly it has become worse.

Dr. Highprice—It can be cured, madam. Take this prescription, and have it filled at Coide, Steele & Co.’s.

“Colde, Steele & Co.’s? Why, that is not a drug store. I t is a hardware firm.”

‘Yes, madam. The prescription calls for a paper of tacks. Dose—two tablespoonfuls scattered about 'the floor be­fore retiring.”—AT. Y. Weekly.

A n y sarsaparilla is sarsaparilla. True. So any tea is tea. So any flour is flour. But grades differ. You want the best. It’s so with sarsaparilla. There are grades. You want the best. If you understood sarsaparilla as well as you do tea and flour it would be easy to determine. But you don’t. How should you ?

When you are going to buy a commodity whose value you don’t know, you pick out an old established house to trade with, and trust their experience and reputation. Do so when buying sarsaparilla.

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has been on the market fifty years. Your grandfather used Ayer’s. It is a reputable medicine. There are many sarsaparillas. But only one Ayer’s. IT CUR ES..

A late and rather startling develop­ment is that Mr. John Trapp, ex-sher­iff of the county, who was elected pres­ident of the bank a week ago to succeed Dr. Gunkel, who precipitately resigned, refused to accept the office unless tho bank’s affairs were thoroughly investi­gated. It seems that C. W. Nnfeel, who was elected to succeed Youtsey as cashier, hud made sufficient investiga­tion himself to warrant him in warn­ing his friend Trapp that all was not as it should be. Therefore the bank had been without a president for near­ly a week.

Every bank in Covington had to meet a run Monday as best it could on short notice. Citizens rushed to their places of deposit by the hundreds as soon as they heard the news that the First na­tional had not opened its doors in the morning and drew their savings. Many heavy depositors were among these.

The bank has been in a shaky condi­tion for three years owing to the fail­ure of the Louisville deposit bank, by which it lost $75,000 and there are also between $250,000 and $300,000 worth of law suits pending, growing out of the bank’s connection with the failure. Since the first of the year $75,000 in de­posits have been withdrawn and several days ago Bank Exuminer Escott began an investigation. Saturday he wired the result to the comptroller of the cur­rency und the order came for the bank to be closed nt once.

Monday night the directors decided to organize the Southern national bank to take the business of the German na­tional, and the comptroller of the cur­rency w'as telegraphed for the neces­sary papers. Sixty thousand dollars were pledged as subscription to the capital stock.

BLACK WEL8H OATTLE.A B reed T h at Should B e B e tte r K n ow *

In Y1U» Country.The principality of Wales has two in­

digenous breeds of black cattle, of which a t least one Alls au important place in Orest Britain, though it is un­known on this side of the Atlantic. The black cattle of Wales were originally all of one breed, and in fact are supposed to descend from the species Bos primo- genius, which is now represented by the wild white cattle of Chillingham, Eng., and the so-called Podolian race of the continent. One singular fact that jus­tifies this opinion is that among the black Welsh cattle is seen an occasional white calf, black on the muzzle and in­side of the ears, like the cattle of Chill­ingham.

The original black cattle of Wales were coarse and slow of m aturity, but they possessed such hardiness, dairy qualities and special adaptation to thedr environments that no effort a t improve-
