tier detail new series of outrages
in the country occupied by the In

attack of the gout, he was found by his atten-

so much emetic ointment on the nape of his
neck that he was blistered down to his shoul-

Effect of the War

Monied men are the most timid of mortals
the most unreasoning, the most panioky.
Why foreign war should depreciate values in
this country, is question no man,
in possession of his senses, can
answer. A foreign war must create demand
for our breadstuffs. A foreign war must
create distrust in Europe among the men who
hold the surplus capital, and that money will
flow to this country for investment.
So far as our grain interests and our credit
are concerned, a European war could not be
more opportune than at this moment. We
have an immense unmoved stock of grain on
hand, and its sale is necessary for the farmer
that he may pay the merchant, and the latter
pay his creditor. The depression in business
for the last six months has been due to the
producers who hold on to their grain, compel
the business men to extend farmers credit
and either break down the merchant or force
him to great sacrifices. When war prices
ceased, farmers ceased selling their grain, and
suspended payment Of their debts. They
could do SO with impunity, for their mouths
can be filed from their own granaries, and
domestic manufacture can supply their ward
robe. But that course, so selfish in them, ii
disastrous to every other branch of business
The merchant and the meohanis must sustain
their credit, and must pay their debts when due
A farmers debt is due at no particular date; il
is due when he sells his crop; and that depends
upon the market, not upon his indebtedness.

A Boys Face Cut Of by a Railroad
Train.
From the St. Louis Democrat, July l5th.l

From the st. Louis Democrat, July l5th.l
About three o'clock yesterday afternoon, as
three small bays were playing upon some
freight cars on the side track Of the North
Missouri Railroad, near the foot of Mullan-
ply street, an engine ran down the track
and coupled to the cars to put them on the
ferryboat Dunleith, for transportation across
the river. When the cars commenced to
move the boys attempted to jump of. Two
of them who were in one of the box cars jump
ed from the side doors and escaped uninjured.
The third, however, jumped or fell from a
platform car on which he was standing, and,
getting between the wheels, was instantly Kill
led. The wheels passed over the back part of
his head, crushing it to Jelly, while the face
and front Of the head, from the centre of the
skull to the base of the chin, was severed as
smoothly as if done by a saw. The face was,
after the train had passed, found lying about
three feet from the body, and looked more
like horrible wax mask than anything else.
The Coroner was notified, and at once pro-
ceeded to the spot to hold an inquest upon
the remains; but, singular to relate, no one
was found who could identify them. The in
quest was consequently postponed until this
morning, when the identity Of the boy will
doubtless be established.

LEE Akron Beacon agoes for, q

TBE Akron Beacon "goes for" a
class Of its citizens in this wise,
while discussing the new railroad.
There is not a word it says, but is
equally applicable to men of the
same class here. We invite them to
read, and may the facts stated hang
upon their consciences as an incubus
or like an "old man of the sea" un-
til they awake to realizing sense
of the "duty of the hour"
"There is another class of men
who are to be greately benefited by
this Road, the property owners, who
are, or claim they are, unable to see
any reason why they should sub
scribe to the Railway. They are
Just the men who are most to be
benefited OF haze the most to lose in
this enterprise. This is no random
assertion, but the actual condition
of affairs to-day. There are men in
this city owning stores on our main
streets which now rent for $500 or
$1,000. If this Railroad comes to
Akron they viii rent for 800 the
day it is completed. If the Rail
road comes not to Akron those same
stores can be rented. for less than $500.
There are men in this city owning
acres upon acres of land and town
lots without number. They are worth
thousands Of dollars. Let this Rail
road pass through Akron and that
property will be enbanced a hundred
fold in value. Let the Railroad
pass to the south or north of us, and
that property will gradually sink IN
Ualue until it can be bought for a
mere bagatelle."
