A cause must be very lame indeed when
resort TO falseliood and detraction is the
only means of bolstering it up. In the
last county-seat contest Evers is entitled to
credit for asserting one fnct in the Wood
County Neus. 1t was this: Gan that is
necessary for the farmers of Wood county
TO know Is that L. A.Higgins is writing for
the JOURNAL in this contest" This did
more to injure the cause Of Perrysburg Than
all else said in that paper during the
contest.
Assuming that Mr.. Evers believed this
would benefit the cause for which he was
striving, knowing something of the opin.
ions OF the farmers on the subject, is i. not
little cheeky on his part to employ the
services OF Mr.. Higgins on every occasion
since, when he has a subject up for dis.
cussion that he cannot handle himself. In
the ditch controversy and in campains since
1860 the ear marks of Mr.. Higgins were
plaiuly visible; in the church controversy

New York Herald: If churches and

MOrmOnism as intensely as they say they
do, why do they not fight the peculiar
institution with its own weapons? Nor
monism Is increased and maintained on
ly by immigration, for, contrary to nat

average more children than those of
other territories, and "the faith" is not
maintained with great fervor by saints
of the second and third generations. Eu-
ropean ignorance and poverty form the
mainstay of MOrmOnism. The thick.
headed peasant may not be much excited
by the alleged missionary's story of the
spiritual glories of the new Canaan,
but he can fully understand an offer
of free passage to Utah and a farm

"Hepsibah Curtis" was the name en-

"Hepsibah Curtis" was the name en-
graved on the inner covert
MIR. Marshall's face was white, but his
voice was calm, as he said:
tom, just run over and tell your I'M
Gle George to come over here few min
utes-I want to talk with him on Il little
business"
Three days later, Myron Mason, alias
Jasper Armand, was arrested for the
murder of Mrs. Curtis.
He made no resistance; he told no
falsehoods; he simply confessed the
whole affair, stating that he had muir
dered the woman out of revenge. Ten
years before, the two had lived in the
same town. He had always been wild
and dissolute, but had been the betroth-
ed of Mrs. Curtis sister, gentle and
lovely woman. Mrs. Curtis had oppos-
ed the match, knowing that it would
cause her sister q life of misery. Also
finding that Armand belonged to n gang
eff cOunterfeiters, she promptly gave ev-
idence against him.
He was condemned to ten years i'm
prisonment This he bore patiently,
mentally vowing that, when released, he
would at once wreak vengeance on the
woman who had fOilcd his plans and
blighted his life.
When the time had expired, and the
prison doors opened to let him pass out,
he found that the woman he loved was
dead, and the woman he hated was Inv
ing in Haywood. Thither he went.
He had seen Mrs. Curtis go 10 town, and
had concealed himself in the woods TO
await her return. He did not take the
articles she carried merely for the sake
of ROBBERY, but to haYe suspicion point its
fingers at some other party. At the con-
of his confession, he said that
he had no desire of concealing it any
longer. His life was made wretched by
the terrible crime he had committed,
and death and exposure were not unwel-
come. The next day after his confinement
in Jail, he was found dead in his cell.
He had ended his life by poison.
AS for Peter Groat, he was ut once re
leased and all the inhabitants of Hey
wood strove to express their regret and
regard for him, but to these Peter sadly
shook his head, saying:
HE did not care to live in blaze
where de people were so ready to believe
him pad manw So he sold his little
home, packed his goods. and with his
wife and children, moved to the far west,

There is not much comfort in the re-
port that the internal revenue receipts
for the year ending June 80 will exceed
those of the previous year by nearly
$4,000, 900 owing chiefly to the eollec-
tions on cigarettes; for this increase
marks the spread Of an injurious habit
among growing boys. No one who
keeps his eyes open rs lac walks about
the streets can have failed to observe
that half the small boys he meets are
smoking cigarettes. 1t is not necessary
to condemn the use Of tobacco by men
before venturing to protect against its
use by babies. Furthermore, there is,
unhappily, no doubt that women and
girls make every year larger contri-
button to the revenue derived from cigar
