The last statistical reports show
that In Germany the wages OF both ag-
ricultural laborers and industrial work
men have sunk TO lower level than
they have reached for some time. At
the same time the cost of living has in
creased. On the other hand, a table
published in the Statistiqus dc Ia France
shows marked rise in the wages of la
Dor in the small trades in France in the
years from 1853 to 1877. The wages
of male labor have risen in that period
iifty-two per cent, and those Of women
have risen to an almost equal extent =
fifty-one per cent though there is a
great difference in the actual sums re-
ceiyed by the two sexes. In the period
included in the inquiry the cost of liv-
ing has somewhat increased. The
price of bread remained about the same,
and clothing is cheaper; but wine is
somewhat dearer, and there has been a
marked increase in the price OF meat,
butter, eggs and cheese Rents, too,
have increased in the cities and larger
towns. But on the whole the condition
of the French laborer has not changed
for the worse.

PREBLE Co. ANTI-LIoUoR ALLIANCE.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-01-06


JAMES WARD RossMAN was born in Ea-
ton, August 18th, 1926, and died January
2d, 1881, aged "a years, / months and s
days.
He was married to Hiss Sarah Ann
Hamhidge, February Sth, 1865, in New
ton county, Ind. His widow and All in
teresting family OF five daughters and one
son survive him and mourn his loss.
There are but few persons wl.o were born
and have lived in Eaton longer than Mr..
Rossman aud it may be further said
that none have more quietly and faith
fully performed the duties of life, in ac-
cordance with the views that he took of
them, than he did. BY nature he was
singularly i~nobtrusive and retiring in So
ciety, and, hence, seemed distant to
strangers, and even toward those whom
he personally knew, until ne had become
very intimately acquainted with them,
and it was only such as had become thus
acquainted with him, who knew how
true and good a man he was at heart.
He was a man of clear perceptions OF
right and wrong, and always intended to
do right, and being a man of few words,
he often asserted the right and condemn
ed what was wrong according TO his view,
in a plain, and often. rather blunt man
|ner. If he had not the faculty Of making
many new friends, he had the power OF
retaining the confidence and esteem OF
those he had-which is the better test of
the worthiness of the man.
Several years ago he had a stroke OF
paralysis, from which he never recover
ed; although he wat able, at times after
wards, to get around with difficulty, Sc
as to attend to his business. Superadded
to this he was attacked with thatterrible
disease, consumption, and under the com.
bined efforts of the two he failed rapidly
and without a word of complaint died
peacefully. He was an affectionate hus
band, a kind and indulgeut father, {
warm friend, and it is not believed tina
he left an enemy who hated him, o.
whom he hated when he left the earth
he had forgave, and was forgiven.

PROMENADE CONCERT.
The Continuation and Close Of the
Entertainment.
The Names of the Lucky Com
testants, also the Number +
of Votes POIIed.

AS predicted in the DEMOCRAT of last
week, the elimination of the Prone
made Concert was a decided success,
both as to attendance and the amount
of money derived. From Wednesday
night until Saturday night the number
present very ~perceptibly increased un-
til the last night, when the large audi
forum ofthe city Hall proved totally
inadequate to accommodate the seeth-
ing multitude. Early in the evening
it became necessary for many to go
into the gallery, so crowded was the
floor, and as the position commanded a
splendid view of the crowded floor,
seats in the elevated place were 500 at
par, and in a short time all were filled.
For quite awhile those who were SO
lucky as to have a seat in the gallery
escaped the pleadings of the various
contestants for a vote, but sooE these
indefatigable workers scented the game
and came up the steep stairs leading to
the gallery ina stream. Some were
provided with books, while others car
ried boxes, and the occupants of the
gallery who had only a short time be-
fore been congratulating themselves on
escaping from the assiduous solicitors.
were being bedeged on all sides.
The Eaton Cornet Band, hired for the
occasion, discoursed some gifts mos

t~eryals, contributing thereby very
much to the enjoyment of the evening
1t might not be inappropriate to state
in this connection, that the member:
of the Band have improved very muct
in their playing, as it was the unani
nous opinion of all that the boys ac
Quilted themselves in first-class style
Some of the pieces rendered would hav,
done credit to any Band, and the ap
plause with which the members of tn,
Band were rewarded at the close O
each piece fully testified the apprecia
ton of the audience. 1t was a pleasan
and happy crowd that surged ant
swayed within the Hall, and, although
many strangers were present, not
uuarrelsome word was heard durin,
the evening, or any of the other eigh
evenings, for that matter.

the county: Suppose Judge Chambers
enlarges his record, so that it will en-
brace all deaths occurring annually in
Washington township. Then suppose
some enterprising citizen, who has a taste
for such matters, in each OF the other
townships of the county, should keep a
similar record for their respective town
ships. Then at the end Of the year have
all such records printed in the county pa
pers; or, if the aggregate, they should
be too long for publication in this way,
they could be published in pamphlet or
book form, and these pamphlets could be
sold to the people throughout the county
at a mere nominal sum, for all would
buy them, and in this way pay, and more
than pay the expenses incident to max
ing the records and having them printed.
In this way, all that has above been said
OF the value of Judge Chambers local
record, would, for the reasons there sta
ted, be greatly augmented.

so also, and desires that those indebted
to him will come forward at once and
settle. Mr.. Hilbert says he has several
accounts which he must pay and wish

those in arrears for almost one year
and now thinks it high time for those
so favored to call IN him and settle.
Mr.. Hilbert has a fine stock of winter

Experienced business men "
wish to carry any goods over from

worth of goods carried over may not
actually have decreased in point Of dol
lars and cents, yet they are always
sold 1T a discount. Mr.. Fred Michael
has, in view of the fact that he has a
large stock of winter goods, such as
boots, shoes, rubber boots and ladies
and gent over-shoes, on hand, desires
it understood that from this date on he
will sell the same off at almost cost.
All these goods are in irst-class condf-
ton all of the best brands and having
been purchased from first-class hands
for cash, lie tan afford to sell at the re-
markable low figures he is now surpris-
ing all who call. He does not desire to
carry these goods through the spring
and summer months and hence his low
prices. Farmers as well as other par

HoRnoRs OF A DRoueHr.-TLe

H0RRoRs OF A DRoUGHT.-The
drought Of 1881 has been nothing to
that Of 1919, to judge from the
description of one who claims to have
passed through it, and who says:
During that drought the cattle be-
came afflicted with hot weather itch
and thousands died, literally tearing
he skin from their sides and backs
in their frantic efforts to scratch them
selves to relieve the intolerable Itch
ing. Deer and horses died with black
tongue; fowls and birds became list
less and stupe6ed, moped 10 despair,
lost their plumage and died in utter
misery. Men, women and children
grew sick with disappointed hopes for
the healing showers, drinking the
foul carbonised watsr and eating
dusty food, and many died OF disease
not known before or since. Madden
I'd with the intolerable itch and fran
tic with eating the dry aud dessica-
ted grass, deprived Of all nutritive ele-
msnts BY the long drought the cattle,
sheep and horses roamed over the
fields aud through the forests, moan
ing and bowling, or paving the earth
in impotent rage. Added to these
horrors, the fields and forests took
FIRE and burned for weeks and months.
The air was filed with smoke and
ashes, producing another horror in
the shape Of some form of opthalmia
that was almost intolerable. This
state Of things lasted until the middle
Of January, when the blessed rain and
the really beautiful snow came and
saved the country from utter ami
hilatiop.

Tar SENATOR'S VISITING Can

TIE SENATOR'S VISITING CARD.
The mystic letters written on visit
ing cards are sort Of bewilderment
TO the congressman from the rural
districts, who cannot decipher their
meaniog. Once that stalwart Ken
tuckiau, Senator McCreery, met Q
foppish locking young constituent
who had just returned from Paris,
and said to him: ~ received your
card the other day. I recognized
your fathers name, which is the same
Is yours, and ! supposed it was his
son; but what did the letters e. p.
written in the corner mean 7" "Why,
Mr.. SENATOR" replied the travelled
man, ''it is customary in Paris to
write the initials Of certain words on
leaving cards. For example, had /
been going away / should have wit
ten P. P. @. the inisials of pour prem
DIRE conge-to take leave. As 1t was
calling myself, I wrote E. P. the
initials Of en- personne--in person"
"Ohw said McCreery, II UNDER
stand"
A week or 30 afterwards the two
met again, and the young man said:
''Senator, I received your card, but
/ couldn't comprehend what the let
tiers s. B. A. N. in the corner meant.
Pray interpret them" "With pleas
ure," said McCreery, his eyes twink
ling with humor. rs. B. A. N. are
the initials Of sent by q nigger."
The young man tried to laugh bat
couldn't see the the point of the To-
scription. Others did.
