DEATH OF DR.. G. ]. GEIGER-0ur citi-
zens we'e startled on this, Thursday,
morning with the announcement that
Doctor Geiger had suddenly died in an
apoplectc attack. The Doctor had been
in usual health and upto his demise had
been constant in attendance at his drug
store. He arose early as was his wont
but complained and expressed alarm.
Mrs. Geger wanted him to lie down
again, but instead of that he opened the
drug store. When called to breakfast
he sat down but only took swallow of
coffee, when he arose, went up stairs and
lay down, He expressed a wish to see
his son, John, but before John could ar
rive the Doctor became insensible, and
very soon expired. Physicians were
called in before he expired but nothing
could be done, Conrad j. Geiger at
his death was aged about sixty-fve
years. He had lived in this county
about fify-six years, in Canton about
twenty. He was imam of sterling worth
and high qualities of head and heart
We sympathize with his bereaved and
faithful wife and his large family Of sons
and daughters.

WHAT BULLETS DID.-On last Thurs
day, in quarrel between Frank Hoag
and Abe Williamson, at Robardsville,
Hoag fired pistol at Williamson, who
threw up his arm in time to receive the
ball in it and save his head. William
son then knocked Hoag out of time and
threw his pistol away.
Samuel Miller, of Fort Wayne, Ind,
while visiting his brother at Mapleton,
in this county, was dangerously, if not
fatally, shot on Monday. Mr.. Miller
was handling a gun, and while holding
the end of the barrel near his chin, his
little nephew caught the hammer in some
manner, causing the discharge of the
gun, cutting piece from Mr.. Miller's
chin, knocking two of his lower front
teeth out, passed through the roof of his
mouth, and came out near the corner of
the eye next to his nose. The wound is
dangerous and painful. ..

DID NOT ASSIGN,

1t seems we were in error last week in
saying that Mr., Ernst, livery man, had
made an assignment. We make haste to
correct, and rejoice that last week was
not as bad for Canton as we had thought.
Our friend Ernst keeps good rigs at his
livery, and long may he wave, We like
the men who will not surrender-who
"never don't say die once. "Stick" is a
capital rule. "Time, faith, energy" says
Bulwer, in "Night and Morning" In
1918, when the British commander de-
manded the surrender of Fort Stephen
son in this State, the gallant young
Croghan, who was in command and had
100 men, sent word-"come and take it,"
The British and Indians came in force.
but did not take it. Assignments, how
ever, are quite common these days, and,
in some cases, the contrast between liza
bilities and assets are interesting. One
man, for example, assigned Is spring
chickens to ply fifteen thousand dollars
liabilities-another's assets amounted to
five dollars and forty cents to $4,000 of
liabilities. Of course, these are excep-
tions, for as ageneral rule an assignment
shows honesty of purpose and may be
highly proper, and, indeed, necessary.
Shakespeare, in his drama of the Mer-
Chant of Venice, represents Antonio the
rich merchant, as having gone surety for
Bassanio and failing to pay the bond,
5000 ducats, in consequence of his ves-
sells failing to arrive, and.reports of their
shipwreck. Hence, Shylock, the Jew,
demanded the playful forfeit in the bond,
namely, pound of the merchants flesh.
In time, however, Antonio's vessels all
came in, having been only delayed by
long continued storms. 1t is to be hoped
our afflicted people will get through this
serious financial storm, in time-that our
Shylocks will not take all the blood in
their victims veins-that our govern
ment will soon get again into honest and
capable hands and return to economical
and constitutional ways, and thus ulti-
mately get back to just laws and prosper
GUS industry.

PurNAM FEMALE SEMINARY

The entertain ment given at the Putnam Fe-
male Seminary, on Tuesday evening last was GER
tainly very pleasant occasion,
The examination of the class in Chemistry
evinced, beyond doubt the thorough manner
in which 1t had been taught, as well as the capa-
bility of the young ladies composing the class
The chemical experiments performed by the Ia
dies before the audience were creditable indeed
The time, of course, was limited to enter into any
elaborate experiments. The chemistry class was
a success,
The essays were well written, and what was
equally as desirable, were read In full, round
tone, and could be heard by any one in the
hall. The same can also be said Of those who de-
claimed.
An interesting feature of the entertainment was
the performance of the gymnastic class; and, by
the way, very important feature in the educa
ton Of young ladies' The exercises were such as
to bring into action the organs of respiration and
locomotion, and are conducive to the develop
ment and health ofthe entire physical organiza
ton.
The exercises Of the evening were interspeSed
with very fine music, both instrumental and vo-
cal.
Under the very efficient management Of the
principal, Rev. DR.. Buckingham, this institution
cannot fail to command the attention and sup
port of those desiring to give their daughters a
thorough, practical, common sense education.
Should it continue under the present control, at
no distant day the Putnam Female SEN mary will
rank with the very best educational institutions
of the country, and its Alumni Will point with
pride to Its honored Alma Mater-Zdnesuitle

their New Year holiday and its feast of
good things with singular interest. All
appear in their very best and they, the
paupers, are first served, the tables being
fully and amply prepared for the attack
before they sit down, Each plate we OBJ
served was well supplied with turkey
and other good things in abundance.
The guests were shown the tables and
witnessed the inmates enjoying them
selves,
In due time the guests were served in

the family dining-room which, not be-
ing very large the tables were filed
several times. The day was lovely and
the weather so mild that, to be out of
doors was not unpleasant. All seemed
to enjoy the occasion, and all expressed
themselves highly pleased with the man

premises,
Mr., and Mrs. Cromar who have charge
of the institution have no easy berth, but
their good judgment and well directed
industry are equal to the requirements.

has POP names in its list of inmates; 81,
however, are at the Imbecile Asylum at
