STANDARDS cheek and the heel of Hayden s
shoe, worn the day of the murder. He ex-

all over the cheek and do not correspond with
the nails in the heel. The marks are similar
to those made in barking the skin. when the
true skin beneath the cuticle is struck, and
might have been made in falling. The nails
are about one-tenth of an inch in diameter,
while some of the marks are half an inch
and others the size of pin points. One side
Of the shoe is much worn, but the bruises on
the cheek are mainly where the heel would
have made least impression if stamped upon
the cheek.

While the amiable idiocy that pre-

He was invested with the ballot on

1t was given him on the school girl
notion that affection for the party that
gave him his freedom would make him

But the niger is less serviceahle to

He needs too much codding-too
much protection.
He can only vote the Republican
ticket when surrounded by a Gordon

There in no grit in him.

owe you an apology, to say the least, in

might be tedious for you to read. A few

Jackson, Ohio.
Congress has passed the bill granting
arrears of pension to all soldiers of the
late war, who have been heretofore pen
stoned, from the date of discharge; to all
widows of deceased soldiers from the
date of death of the soldier; to guardians
of the minor children of deceased SOL
diers from the date of remarriage Or
death of the mother. This, of course,
does not include those who have already
received pension back to that period.
The same law also repeals Sec. 4717 of
the Revised Statutes which has hereto
fore barred certain claims that were not
successfully prosecuted within five years
from date of application. The bar being
removed, these claims may be prosecuted
now the same as before the limitation
expired. l will be pleased to assist my
friends in obtaining this back pay, and
in the prosecution of these suspended
claims. II. G. MILLER,

from Sidney, Shelby county, Ohio. They
came to look at the prospect for coal In
this county The Narrow Guage road is
to be extended from Springfield to Sid
ney, and will be connected with narrow
guage from the East to Chicago. This is
of the greatest Importance to the coal in
terests of Jackson county 1t will open
q trade in coal with the entire North
west, as well as the East. These business
men were not certain that there was
enough coal in jackson county to justify
them in building the road from Spring
field, but they had not extended their
observations very far until they became
satisfied on that point.
Among the gentlemen in this delega-
ton who called upon us were Mr.. Orr,
Capt Donaldson, F. o. Dickensheli, local
editor of the Sidney Journal, D. I. West,
of the Springfield Transcript, and Daniel
Staley Esq, of Sidney.
Orr & Donaldson are the contractors
on the extension of the road, and say
they will push it through.
