try. Boy. Tom Wooser took a two
hundred dollar purse-Capitol a third

was won by Mile 0. Fox, taking the
second purse, and Jennie B. third. Shoe
fly and S. W. Cooper, we're dstanced for
running. The result Of this race was
evidently made up between the drivers
and made little sport, none of the horses
doing anything like their best; time,
2:42l, 2:44I, 2:46l. The running race.
mile and half dash for premium Of
$500, was won by Captain Hutch
inson, Western Star coming in second
and Lancer third. On tomorrow will
occur the most exciting race of the
meeting, being a trotting match free for
all for premiums-four hundred dollars
for the race.

RARON REUTER-.

When man is about to succeed IN
any great enterprise he always finds
dozen others anxious to kick him out oil
the road and take his place. He diseov'
.rs that be is in the way Of many who
are willing TO enjoy the fruits OF his ge-
Minis and toll without having taken any
of his risks. Great discoveries, invent
ors and scholars are often robbed oil
their legitimate rewards while living
and afterward have their names emsla'
zoned on the posthumous scrolls OF
fame. The living are always liberal to
the dead, for the man in his grave is no
longer a possible rival, and eulogles
over him are cheap proclamations of pre-
tended charity. If spirits Of the dead are
permitted to linger on earth long enough
10 attend the funeral aud glance over the
morning papers a day or two, they are
doubtless astonished at the presence OF
bitter opponents in the procession, and
at the apocryphal obituaries and cpl
taphs which glimmer about the precincts
of the tomb. Man is only permitted to
rest when he has passed beyond the
scenes Of strife, envy and ambition.
Baron Reuter-, after working for years
at one Of the grandest railway schemes
in the world, is about to be defeated in
his plans when on the eve of remarka-
BILE modern achievement. The Baron is
Hebrew, born in Germany, and at pres
ent banker of immense wealth in Lon
don. He has spent much time in the
land Of Persia, and after expendlng
great sums of money succeeded in ef-
fecting arrangements for building rail-
way and canal system, which, when COM
pleted, will become the great highway to
India. The concessions made to Reu-
ter are equivalent to lease OF the Fer
sian empire for a term Of years. Vi
course the Shah is to receive liberal
per cent. OF the profits, if indeed he
does not eventually seize all and behead
Reuter- or anybody in his way. But,
alasl for the perversity Of human ma
ture, the Baron finds now that the Lon
don fnanciers are envious of his sue
cess, and have perhaps defeated the
whole scheme by slyly intimating to the
Shah's Minister OF Public Works that
the million and a half he paid for his
privileges was too cheap. AS there are
no railroads in Persia, or any other evil
dences of civilization than existed a
thousand years ago, the Shah's minister
knows nothing more about the benefit
and value Of such improvements than
Xerxes or Darius III, or any ancient
Persian. His suspicious are easily
aroused, and it seems, from the tenor of
morning dispatches, that Reuter- is about
TO be thrown overheard by the Shah, af-
ter loaning the latter million dollars,
and otherwise expending million and
a half. Reuter-, it is said, brought the
Shah over as an advertisement of his
schemes, expecting to negotiate easily
ie- all necessary funds. But Haman
was once upon time disappointed in
his plans, and it does not appear that
Persian monarchs are an improvement
on the ancient stock. The benefits of
all Reuters magnificent schemes, per-
fected by years and years of patient eff
fort, are likely to be realized, if at all,
by others. One sows, but another shall
reap.

no Government efforts will avail with
ont the active ao-operation of the
hanks and moneyed corporations of

millions already paid out in the pur-

"ExaotlY Right.D

The equivocal position occupied
by Senator Thurman on the salary
steal question is creating a good
deal of fun at the venerable old
Bourbon's expense. After his fiery
zeal in behalf of public virtue, as
evineed in his assaults on Senator
Morton, his own record is very
amusing reading. The Cincinnati
CONNIE; ctal, in an imaginary inter
view with Hon. John Quincy Smith,
NJ. c., of Hillboro, gives this YER
sion of a little occurrence which it
vouches for as authentic, and says
Mr.. Smith viii unhesitatingly verify:
We want the Hon. John Quincy
Smith to come to the stand.
Mr.. Smith will hold up his right
hand and be sworn.
Q. You are q member of Congress
from the Fourth Ohio District?
A. Yes, sir.
@. Did you sit in the Senate
Chamber when Stewart, Of Nevada,
was making his speech in favor of
the Conference Report containing
the salary grab and the backpay
steal?
A. Yes, sir.
@. Did he say that it was neces-
sary to increase the pay Of Congress
men-that it was an outrage to send
men to Congress during the better
part of their lives, and turn them
out, after they are worn in the ser
vice, to povelty-and that the coun-
try would sustain the Conference re
port?
A. Yes, sir.
@, Did you see distinguished Sen
ators congratulsting Stewart, who
afterward voted against the report?
A. l did.
Q. Who was the earliest and most
emphatic of them?
A. Senator thurman OF ONO.
Q. What did he say?
A. His remark was; "Stewart,you
are right. You are e1actIy right"
Q. Was Thurman's seat occupied
at the time by one of his friends?
A. Yes, by Neil Of Chilicothe.
Q. Did Neil seem to take Thur
man to task for extending his con-
gratulations to Stewart?
A. He talked to Thurman long
and earnestly.
@. Were you surprised when
Thurman presently voted "No' on
the report?
A. After what I heard him say to
Stewart l was astonished. 1 did
not know how to account for his
vote unless the conversation with
Neil was influential.

read and adopted.
The regular order of questions were taken
up and discussed IN succession.
Answer to the lst. For fall feeding one
pint of water to five pounds of coffee sugar
brought to boil, with an ounce of glycerne
added while cooling, was considered the
cheapest and best. But for spring more water
should be added
I'd. Was answered yes, unanimously.
81. Several stats or strips fastened with
screws SO as to bind firmly over the tops, at
right angles with the frames, was agreed to

pare for transportation.
Questions for the next meeting,

bees for winterP
ID. When is the best time to purchase bees
in the fall or in the spring?
On motion. d Waggoner, DR.. r S Rice, J S
Loos, and B B Overmeyer were appointed
committee to call on the officers of the San
dusky County Agricultural Society to request
them TO award premiums for the best bee
hives and best colonies of italian bees exhib-
tied and handled at the coming county fair.
The chairman of the committee in relation
to patent hives then presented the following
resolution. which was adopted by unani-
nous vote of the members present
ResolUed That We having examined great
many different styles of patent bee hives and
met with nothing in any of them that in our
opinion is worthy of patronage, except nova
bic frames for combs therefore We advise |
every member and all the bee keepers TO be |
extremely slow i'll patronizing patent hive |
vendors, so numerous throughout the land.
1t was moved and carried that the officers |
for the ensuing year be nominated at the next
meeting; it is thsrefore desired that men,
bers, and all others interested in bee keeDinq
