AKRoN.-on last Monday evening grocer in
Akron, named Christian Schmitt, came to this
city to buy goods, arriving here on the o'clock
train. The next day his wife got letter from
him dated at a. M, Tuesday, stating that the
next night he should sleep in Lake Erie, ut was
rough" he said "but 1t would soon be over" He
further dictated to his wife about his business at
home, and said to his son that money could be
found in the house with which to pay for a new
barn which he had just built. His two sons, and
other friends of the family, at once came to the
city to search for him, but as yet have not been
able to find any clue 10 his whereabouts. They
have called on several business men in the city
with whom he deals, but none of them know any.

committed suicide by drowning. He was about
forty-nine years of age, had no whiskers and was
always temperate and upright in his habits and
principles. He was subject to spells of sudden
sickness, during which he was not right in his

ANOTHER SAFE BURGLARY.-And still they will
crack them Sargent safe in the office of H. H
Myers, lumber dealer, at the crossing of Eighth
st. and the P. F. W. & C, r. R., was blown open
last Friday night by burglars. The er-pri-sing
gang was fooled worse in this operation, however,
than they have ever been in that line of business
After all their labors when they came 10 the point
where they expected to make a big haul of swag
by simply reaching for IT, they reached-but all
they got that was of any use to them was one dol
lar and sixty seven cents and a silver watch OF
but small value. They took with them also lot
of notes and other papers belonging to Mr.. Myers,
amounting in value to about $1,000; but they can
be of no good to the rRscals, and Mr.. Myers seems
but lightly concerned over their loss The only
questions now are who next and when will
this business be brought to close?

HAYES AND WHEELER CLUB NoTEs.-'Is dat
pincushion gwine TO- to bust?" asked a colored
member as Commodore Folger took the stand.
There was a large number OF Democrats present,
but Folger's arguments did not reach any of them
in the least.
The bloody shirt was flung to the breeze in fine
style clear back to the time OF the Revolution.
Tom Saxton, Jake Blocksom, Ed. S. Meyer, Ohe
generaD and H, W. Arment, Secretary of the Club,
sat off in one corner to start up the applause. Bill
Deweese's dog is greatly missed.
From the way the Commodore abused Lam
born, which seemed to be the object of his speech,
there was evidently put.up job somewhere be.
tween him and the Majah.
The personal pronoun "I' was used twice as
often as any one word during the speech, which
is characteristic of the man.
Foger can beat any man in the world at jump
ing dates, Like man chasing a fea he would
jump from the issues of 1876 back to the stuarts or
Pantagenets, and in another moment he would
be growing over the glories of the Revolution !;
and in another instant he was sadly waving the
bloody shirt and trying to tell why so many U. S
troops were scattered through the South.

The Republican press of this district has but
little to say of late concerning Majah McKinley's
ability as cook during the war. They said a
great deal about it at first, but probably the wri-

to the conclusion that cooking soup in the rear is
not generally considered as truly noble and patri-
otic as fighting at the 'front.' and thought best to
"Cheese it,"
