tions for acknowledging the indie
pendence of Cuba. Bill to enable
the Mennonites of Russia to settle
on Public Lands was discussed, and
q substitute offered. In the House,
the legislative, executive and judici-
al appropriation bill was taken up,
and Holman moved to reduce the
item of Presidents salary from
$4,000 to $4,000, arguing that the
increase was unconstitutional. The
motion was opposed by Hale and
Butler, and was finally rejected, as
were all other amendments offered.
On the 18th in the Senate Com

been greater than any year since
IS47; from ten to fifteen thousand
persons needed aid. Referred. The
legislative, judicial and executive
appropriation bill came up, and the
item appropriating $4,000 for
stamps for the State department
opened the subject of franking, and
quite a discussion ensued, when an
amendment appropriating $4,000
for official stamps was adopted.

salaries of several other clerks of

duced from $4,000 to $4,000.

WEST a DANA,s saw MILL

WEST & DANA'S SAW MILL.
In a somewhat secluded position, at the
north end of the city, along the side Of the
track of the L. E. & L. Ry, will be found the
| principal mill belonging to the above firm
they are also running similar one at Green
Greek, some four miles out of town. The
firm first established the latter mill in in 1862,
with one saw and about dozen employees, all
told. Trade steadily increased upon their
hands-from a million feet of timber sawn
per year, till they could count double that
quantity passing through their hands annual
II. The consequence was, that in 1857, they
were neCessitated to open the second mill,
above described, within the city limits, where
they would have more ready access to the Ry
for shipping purposes. Here they have
number of saws in constant work and in ad-
dition to their shipments, supply from the
yard an immense amount Of timber for local
manufacture and building purposes. The
kinds of timber they usually handle are oak,
ash, and walnut-much of which they get
over the L. E. & L. Ry., though, of course,
for the bulk of their supply they are dspen-
dent on local resources. They now saw, on an
average, over IOO, 700 feet of timber per week,
which is shipped to Buffalo, New York, and
in fact, to every part of the globe. Indeed,
their business has improved to that extent
they never get apace with their orders, al
though they buy very largely to meet their
shipments. The respective mills are run un-
der the personal supervision of the principals
of the frm-Nr. West attending to the city
mill and Mr.. Dana to that located at Green
Greek. They are both gentlemen Of consider
able experience and unremitting in their at
tentiOn to the business, the extensive develop
ment of which, may, in large degree, be
attributed to their superior business capaci-
ties and answering integrity under all cir
cumstances. An inspection of their city
yard, will amply afford evidence of their ex-
tensive trade, there being over five acres Of
ground surrounding it kept perfectly packed
with logs and sawn timber. We also
noticed two yoke of the finest pure white
oxen it has ever been our privilege to behold
they are perfectly docile, of immense strength,

How much cheaper is it to appro
pirate $4,000 occasionally to pay
the postage of members of Congress,
and another occasional $4,000 fol
stamps for Departmental use, than
would be the franking privilege
The members better take the "bul
by the horns" and restore their
privilege than "Whip the devil round
the stump" in that way. When it
is considered that the carriage OF
postal matter costs about the same
as when the franking privilege exist
ed, it looks as though it was costing
the government more to run now
than before the repeal.

Murder in Putnam County.-we la.

Murder in Putnam CountY.-We last
week, in short item, alluded to the murder
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Haywood, in Putnam county
The particulars having come to US through
the Putnam County Sentinel We condense
therefrom as follows:
John Haywood and his wife, an aged couple
Of about seventy years, resided in Union
township. They had no children Of their own
but had raised girl whom they adopted.
Goodman, the murderer, had married a sister
of this adopted daughter, and lived in Colum-
bus Grove. He was known as a man that did
not like work, but not especially vicious, and
his parents were highly respectable people.
He was aware the Haywoods resided alone
and also that they were supposed to have
reasonable share of wealth.
Goodman met Haywood in Columbus Grove
the day before the murder, April 7th, and in
conversation with him learned he had sold
two horses for Sll0 each, and had also received
5000 recently on mortgage. He expressed
regret that Haywood had sold the horses as he
wanted to buy one, and Mr. H invited him TO
come and see two young horses which he had
for sale, and Goodman said he would do 50.
Next morning Goodman started for Haywood's
taking with him gun. Arriving there he
decoyed Haywood from the house, and when
near creek shot him dead, and buried his
body in the creek, placing heavy log on it.
He then went back to the house and Mrs. H
coming toward him he shot her, and after
wards cut her throat with knife, and placing
the body in the creek covered it partially with
stones. After committing the murder and
robbing the premises, Goodman started to his
sister-in-laws, and when near the house saw
she was outside looking toward him. Suppos-
ing she had seen him commit the murder, he
went up to where she stood, told her he had
killed the old man and woman, and had hid
den the bodies where they could not be found,
and threatened her if she said anything about
it that he would kill her. as soon as he had
gone away, Mrs. Funk, the sister-in-law, rails
ed the alarm, warrant was issued and Good
man arrested. He was conveyed to the
neighborhood of the murder and by threats of
lynching induced to tell where he had secreted
the bodies. He afterwards made a detailed
confession of his crime, and asserted that he
had an accompice named Davis, whom he de-
scribed, but his story in this respect was so in
credible that no credit was bestowed upon it.
Goodman is now in jail. !

A casual visit to either of the branches Of
this old established and reliable firm will af-
ford only comparatively Insignificant idea of
its extensive and important connections, tax
en- as a whole. We question, indeed, whether
there are not even many among those familiar
with the unassuming and congenial manner
of the proprietOrs, who can for moment re-
ali1e even an approximate to the vast business
this firm is doing. Having fully acquainted
ourselves, however, upon the subject, we at
once proceed to narrate what we have learned,
seen, and can Touch for. Mr.. D. L. June, the
senior member of the frm-than whom there
are few men in the district more generally OF
deservedly esteemed commenced first to burn
lime at Ballville, in 1913, having in partner
ship with him at that time, Mr.. Hafford. A
year later and he ran the business alone for
some time, subsequently constructing the kiln
now run by Mr. Quilter, at the top of Gro
CHAN street. This he sold to its present DOS
SCISSOR, and himself turned attention to the
kiln he now runs near the track of the L. E.
& L. Ry. Again taking in partner, (AIr.
Buckland) the two ran the business for about
three years, during which time considerable
improvements were made, including the FIX
ing of one of pages Patent Draw Kilns." 4"
Four years ago, however, Mr.. Buckland re-
tired, and next Mr.. June admitted his son into
partnership and the firm style then became
as it is now-D. L. June & Son. Their pres
ant extensive business embracing several
features, ne propose dealing with each dis
