A Cincinnati Inquirer report recounts Mr Baron of Redway and Barton city firm stating his boy suffered rheumatism. After doctors failed to cure him he used two bottles of St Jacobs Oil and claims the ailment was cured.
A grand Saturday program at Strouds Theatre on Montezuma street offers two hours of family friendly fun starting at 2 o clock. Mr Kobler curated the set and farces with admission 50 cents for adults and 25 cents for children. Saloon closed during the show. Cast includes John Cooke, Mrs J Cooke, John Cometork and C Kohler in a variety of acts.

From Letten in the Hon ALD Lenin report the School Bill will pass the Council as amended by the Council Committee on Education. Amendments include Henry Orme on students attending out of district and Himnalp on the levy and collection of special school taxes. The bill now stands as an improved school law with several other changes.
The article argues that sugar policy in Congress is being shaped to yield a vast monopoly, with the Mexico treaty and Hawaiian tariff acting as key leverage. It warns U.S. sugar producers suffer under the weight, fearing foreign sugar sold by a few firms at high prices, and condemns capitalist consolidation as costing the public beyond normal rates.
The question arises whether the Territorial Superintendent of Public Instruction is elected or appointed. Governor Tritle argues appointment with Council confirmation under the Revised Statutes Section 1857, while Councilman Lemon defends the law as it stands, with current view favoring the Governor’s appointment duty. The section specifies Governor nominates and Council confirms, except in new territories where the Governor may appoint all officers initially.
The House member from this county introduced a bill in the Legislature to memorialize Congress over consolidating the 8 P R R with other funds.

The dispute touches state rights and taxation as the bill faces California to Texas objections and possible amendments to quiet concerns.
A charged question circulates about party lines as Democrats stand on one side and Republicans arrayed on the other. The framing suggests a partisan divide influencing debate and potential policy directions across the political spectrum.
The Territory awarded printing and binding for Legislative tunnels to the Nebraska State Journal office. Critics argue funds belong at home to stimulate the Territory’s economy and question the value of sending money away.

The telegram reports widespread flood damage on February 8 in towns including Jasper and Napoleon, with the Muskingum and Licking rivers swelling, forcing residents from homes and submerging water works, while Ohio river flooding affects business districts.
