Word for Burned Out Newspapers

Two of our Ohio brethren of The
,ress have been visited by the fire
lend within week, and their hard
earnings licked up most ruthlessly.
The Mtunt Vernon Banner was bur-
ned out on the morning of the 2Oth
1t a loss to Mr.. HARPER OF some
three thousalld dollars above his in
surance. The destruction was not
80 complete as in case of the Medina
Gazette, but in both Instances the
loss was sufficient to produce great
embarrassment in the way of reis
suing the papers. and great labor in
re esta blishing the offices.
These destructive fires should stim-
ulate the friends of those papers to
extra eXertions in their behalf. The
local weekly paper is an absolute
necessity to the county and and
community where published. All
the city papers printed cannot sup
ply the place of the home paper.
That should be the first love Of every
intelliget man and woman, for with
the pape, is the locality identified
The paper gives the county and
town where printed much OF their
importane in the world, ,and it gives,
in detail, the local news which can
not be gained from any other source.
very weeks issue of the paper is
SO much local history, and the rise,
gro with and development of the town
and county can be measured and re-
corded only by the local newspaper
that constantly is. gathering its items
People do not properly appreciate
their home paper. They measure
the value of a paper 10 much by the
No. of columns 1t contains. The home
paper on" can take, for in it is touno
the information to be obtained tron
no other source. ..s
Another thing should be taker
into consideration. Every county
has one or more newspapers
Hence the circulation of each paper
must be limited. There is therefore
the greater need of activity and in
tercst on the part of the people tc
give their home paper good, vigor-

The New York Herald pays Ohio
a very neat and just compliment
when il says 1.-The Ohio Legislature
lis on an excursion to Washington,
'swhere it has about the most credi
sstable representation among the
sshigh authorities of any State in
Sthe Union. Besides its Congress
s'ional delegation, which numbers
''such prominent men as Senators
SHERMAN and Thurman, and Rep
"resentatives Bingham, Garfield,
"Schenck and Lawrence, not to
"mention Mungen and John Smith,
sit claims President Grant, Chief
"Justice Chase, General Sherman.
"Secretary Cox and Commissioner
"Delano. the representative chiefs
"of the Executive and Judiciary de-
apartments of the nation, the Army
''the Interior Department. and the
s'Internal Revenue Bureau. Quite
"a brilliant record for a State that
"was almost wilderness overrun
shy Indians sixty years ago" Some
other States have been putting on
airs over their services in the war.
Ohio, like some of its leading he
roes in the war, is afflicted with
modesty, but If it chose to blow
its own trumpet it could make a
very tidy sort of a blast.

A Man Falls Down a Shaft 1913 feet
deem. !

From thr Reese Rirer(Cal.) Reveille, March IS
On Saturday afternoon an acct
dent occurred to miner in this city,
the extraordinary result of which
challenges belief. A man named
'fhomas Jones, about thirty years
of age. and weighing perhaps l5U
pounds, fell down Il shalt one hun
dred and twenty eight feet deep
without breaking bone or Iecelv
ing any apparant serious injury. -
Jones Is lessee of 'iine III Ian.
der Hlil, belonging tv the Alanhat
tan Company, which he and his com
panions have been working with al
vim, About 3 o clock SATURDAY. at
ternoon Jones and fellow miner
stepp' q into tub for tne purp se
OF being lowered down the shaft !;
Wyandot County Republican. [volume] (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1869-1903, 1870-04-29

they got into the tub in the usnal
manner, each having his right leg
hanging outside to guide its dc
scent. At the moment they stepped
IN, the tub suddenly fell short dis
tance. owing to the wliim being an
geared, then brought up but the
men thinking that the brake hal civ
en- way, attempted to get out of the
tub before it passed below the
mouth of the shaft One of them
succeeded in springing out of the
tub upon the ground, but in his at
tempt Jones lost his balance and
fell headlong into the shaft. The
shaft is only four feet in diameter,
and extending through solid gran
ite, presenting rough and jagged
sides from top to bottom AT the
bottom of this uncouth pit there
were several large picks and lad
der. 1t is believed that Jones must
have clntched and caught the lad
der. which ''broke his fall'' and pre-
served his limbs and saved his life.
Almost at the moment of his fall,
two men got into the bucket and
were sent rapidly down the shaft,
where, to their intense surprise,
they saw Jones alive, on his feet
sensible and able to talk. He was
hoisted to the surface and carried
home, where DIR. Wixom speedily
attend him. An examination show
ed that not bone was broken or
dislecated. There was a slight cut
in the scalp; one of his shoulders
severely bruised, the skin torn from
both hands, and over his body there
were as many as sixty to seventy
slight decorations. This was the
sum Of his external injuries Dur
ing Saturday night his circulation
was greatly disturbed, but yesterday
his pulse was. becoming more regu-
lar. Jones is bruised and painfully
sore from head to foot; but there is
good reason to believe that he will
be up and moving abou: in a short
time. That he was not instantly
killed is marvellous; but that man
should fall 1913 feet down a narrow W
and ragged shaft without breaking
so much as bone almost passes be-
lief There was an extraordinary
cIse in this city several years ago
in which a boy, eleven years old,
fell down the shaft of the South
American,168 feet deep, and escaped
with two broken limbs, which in
about ninety days were as good and
firm as ever.

Two Boys Suffoeated in Whelt.

PERRYsvILLE O.,April IS, 1870
To the Editors of the Mansfield Herald:
The quietude Of our place was
disturbed on Friday aftcanoon last,
by an occurrence which is painful to
relate. The workhands at the ware
house of T w. Coulters Sons were
drawing wheat from a large garner
ou the second story through a spout
at the bottom. They observed that
the passage of the wheat in the spout
was becoming obstruced, and at the
same time, a small boy came running
down from above with the sad in
telligence that two boys, aged five
and nine years, eldest and youngest
sons of the senior member of the
firm rs. B. Coulter) was in the gar
ner, and the current @ t wheat draw
ing them under. The hands, shut
ting the spout, rushed up st airs, but
could scarcely realize that two souls
were buried beneath the surface Of
tue wheat. Bnt on thrusting their
arms into the center, they could
barely reach the uphtted land of one
OF the the poor victims. 1t was
then impossible to- remove the body
owing to the great pressure Of the
wheat.
The situation of things at the
warehouse was soon heralded over
the town, and the inhabitants rushed
to the scene and rescue Of the little
victims, each anxious to lend help
ing hand to restore the bodies either
dear or aliv, to the sorrowing and
almost frenzied parents parents.
The attendants drew the slides
from tee side of the garner, and the
grain escaped rapidly but you can
imagine the feelings Of the parents
when there was yet nearly eight hun
dred bushels of grain pressing on
the bodies Of the dear little ones be-
Meath All who could were heroic
ally working with shovels and scra-
pers to remove the grain. Soon the
DO iy of the Youngest child was reach
ed, but alas life was extinct. Full
three minutes more elapsed ere the
second body could be removed.
Drs johnson and Glasgo were cal
led upon, but restorati-n n was beyond
their power The wheat which was
inhaled, the exclusion of the air,and
the external pressure of the grain
all told there was no consolation
for the grief stricken parents. On
yesterday, the two loving and be-
loved brothers and cherished sons
were laid side by side and followed
to dark chambers of the tomb by a
vast conccurse of rel lives and SYM
pathising frien ds.
