Charlie Ross. The Wallace Sisters.


Poor Charlie Ross, Never in the
whole range of fiction, was anything
more mysterious than the abduction and
concealment of this child, and nothing
has SO agitated the public mind for years.
The most stringent search has hitherto
failed in bringing this mystery of mys-
teries to light, and the tragic death Of his
abductors, coupled with the confession
of one of them, brings US no nearer to
the end. Truth is indeed stranger than
fictionl Yet the story Of this poor child,
which equals, if it does not surpass the
widest romance, may, if the facts should
ever be discovered, prove to be very
similar to John Broughamis highly sem
sational drama of "Minnie's Luck, or the
Ups and Downs of New York Life, "
which is now being played to crowded
houses, throughout all sections of the
United States by those brilliant and ac-
complished young artists, the Wallace
Sisters, Jennie, Minnie and Maud. The
heroine of the story, who, stolen from
motives ofrevenge, goes through series
of the most exciting adventures, is per-
sonated by Miss Jennie Wallace, the star
of the troupe, her sweet and musical
voice, and touching and interesting
manner, impart wonderful charm to
the character. Her two sisters, Minnie
and Maud, by their liveliness and grace,
and the spirit and vim which they throw
into their specialties are welcome re-
lief to the sadder portions O. the play.
After passing through series of the
most intentely interesting adventures,
Minnie is at length restored to her be-
reaved mother, and to wealth and hap
piness. They appear at the Opera House
on Friday and Saturday evenings of this
week, and our citizens may be satisfied
that the entertainment will be of the
highest character.

PATTERSON-On the 18th of October
at the residence of her son, NJ B. Patter
son, Esq, in East Findlsy, Mrs. Elizabeth
Patters IN.
The deceased was born in Virginia, July
9th, 1892. She removed with her father
George Alban, to Jefferson county, Ohio
in 1899. Here, August 18th, 1909, she wa:
united in marriage to John Patterson. In
1916 they removed to Harrison county
and in 1884 they removed to Findlay
Among the early settlers, aud bearing q
fair part in the work of those days, she
formed large circle of friends. Those
who remain will recall her characteristic
qualities of mind and disposition, which
marked her as a woman of peculiar worth
Intelligent, well informed by extensive
reading, mentally vigorous, genial, and
cheerful, she won and retained the admi
ration and friendship of those who me-
her.
She united with the Spring Grove Pres
byterian Church, in Harrison county, in
1928. At the organization of the Congre
gational Church, of Findlay, she united
with il, and remained in its communion
until her death.
She was long and severely afflicted. Her
illness covered many years, and in these
trials she manifested that patient endur.
ance and resignation which deeply i'm,
pressed those who visited her with the ex.
cellence and firmness of her character.
In life and death, in health and sickness,
she illustrated the sustaining and shining
power of the Christian faith. And now
that she is dead her influence still remains,
realizing to her friends the power of Christ
ianity to tighten the heaviest Affections
and brighten the darkest trials.
BLESSED are the dead which die in the
Lord"

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
FELLow-CITIZENS OF THE SENATE AND
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:

FELLow-CITIZENS OF THE SENATE AMI
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:
The adjournment of the last Congress
without making appropriations for the
support of the army for the present
fiscal year, has rendered necessary sus-
pension of payments to the officers and
men of the sums due them for services
rendered after the 30th day of June
last. The army exists by virtue OF
statutes which prescribe its number,
regulate its organization and employ
ment, and which fix the pay of its off
GERS and men, and declare their right
to receive the same at stated periods
The statutes, however, do not author
ize the payment of the troops in the
absence of specific appropriations; !;
therefore the Constitution has wisely
provided that no money shall be drawn
from the Treasury but in consequence
of appropriations made by law; and it
has also been declared by statute that
no department of the Government
shall expend in any one fiscal year any
sum in excess of the appropriation
made by Congress for that fiscal year
We have, therefore, an army in service
authorized by law and entitled to be
paid, but no funds are available for
that purpose. 1t may also be said, as
an additional incentive to prompt &C
ton by Congress, that since the com
mencement of the fiscal year the army,
though without pay, has been con
stantly and actively employed in ardu-
GUS and dangerous service, in the per
formance of which both officers and
men have discharged their duty with
fidelity and courage, and without com
plant. These circumstances, in my
judgment, constitute an extraordinary
occasion requiring Congress to be con
yened in advance of the time prescribed
by law for your meeting in regular ses
sion. The Importance Of speedy &C
ton upon this subject, on the part OF
Congress, is SO manifest that venture
to suggest the propriety of making the
necessary appropriations for the SUP
port of the army for the current year
at its present maximum numerical
strength of 25, 900 men, leaving for
future consideration all questions re

That Jol1idcation.

Our Democratic Brethren, after i
became known that they had elected
Bishop and carried the State, conclud
ed they must do something about it
True their party had lost forty thou
sand votes since last fall, but then the
Republicans had lost great many
more by "stay at homes, and chances
having favored them, they concluded
to jollify. Accordingly, bills were got
ten out and circulated announcing that
on Tuesday evening, the 10th inst, the
Democracy of Hancock would jollify.
The evening came, but the occurrence
was so unusual that but few of the
country people remembered it, or if
they did, concluded it wasn't much
OF shower any way" and wouldn't
come. The towns people turned out,
however. and paraded the streets, with
