81 A Forgery.

On last Friday morning genteel look
ing mau, giving his name as James A.
Sherwood, came to this place and rep
resented himself as an agent of the DE.
fiance Wagon Works and made the nec-
essary arrangements for the establish
ment of an agency for the sale of wagons
in this place. After completing his bus
mess he stepped into the Exchange Bank
and desired to sell note for $145 on
Gideon Shafer, Of Van Buren township,
this county. The note was to all appear.
ances a genuine one, and as the sigma
ture appeared to be all right, the bank
cashed the note and Immediately
notified Mr.. Shafer of the fact. Mr..
Shafer at once came to Ottawa
and declared the note to be for
gery. An effort was made to arrest Sher-
wood but he got the start of the author
tiles. who were buta few hours behind
him, and made his escape. 1t has since
been learned that Sherwood offered other
notes for sale to different parties in Hen
ry and Wood counties, and as he un-
doubtedly is an expert at forgery be has
probably succeeded in victimizing quite
number of persons in this part of the
State. He carries with him printed bills
setting forth the merits of his wagons,
and in different localities he offers for
sale wagons made by different manufac-
tories, but his principle claim is only to
be establishing agencies. He pays his
bills promptly and is very plausible
talking individual. He will no doubt
soon turn up in some other locality and
| ply his vocation successfully, Look out
for him.
P. S.-Since writing the above Sher
wood has been captured. A dispatch
from the Sheriff Of Henry county states
thas he was arrested at Napoleon on last
Tuesday evening. Upon receipt of the
telegram Constable Sherrard went to Ma
poleon for the purpose of bringing the
prisoner to Ottawa and on his return las
Wednesday, while near Toledo, the pris
oner (who was hand-cuffed) jumped
from the train and made his escape
When arrested $3.50 and number O.
forged notes was found in his possession

The General Government collects in
taxes $4l0, 100000 annually, or SIS a
head for every man, woman and child
in the country. $l5O,OeO,OOO ofthis
is lying unused and useless, except for
thieves, in the Treasury. Or, in anoth-
er shape, exactly So is collected annual
ly from every man, woman and child
in the country, to be dealt out to the
River and Harbor, Navy and other
similar steals and yet Congress passed
no tax reduction bill. Much of this
tax falls upon the necessaries Of life,
and the worltmen, however scanty
their wages, must pay it, If they would
live. The laborer at dollar and
quarter day, if he obeys the Scrip
tural injunction to the extent Of three
children, with his good wife, pays
fifteen dollars a year into the Golfers,
for Star Route thieves and Robeson's
Navy plunderers.
It is good subject to think over as

The Drunkard is burden to himself as
well as his friends; but. since intoxica-
tion becomes a disease, it requires reme-
dy Of no unusual activity. Those who
have taken Simmons Liver Regulator
declare that it sets the liver in action
and invigorates the system in such way
as to destroy the craving for strong
drinks. The shaky, nervous and dis
tressed should resort to the Regulator as
a tonic to arouse the torpid liver to ac-
tion, to regulate the bowels and remove
the feeling of general depression and
with it the craving for liquor.

The Returns.

The returns from Tuesdays elections, so
far received, indicate that the Democrats have
won victories in several Of the larger states
where the majority of the voters are Feall,
Republican. Should il result in giving the
control of Congress to that party II would
certainly be National calamity. So faI,
however, as it NAV aid in correcting any
evils that may have erept into the Re
publican party, present defeat will only
strengthen the party in the future. And
right here IL may be wise to remember the
fact that the Republican party is the onl,
party in the history Of the country that has
made sn honest effort TO purify itself and
make the phrase, "A government for the
people, by the people" living realit,
The elections this year indicate In no way.
a gain of public sentiment in favor of Dem
oeraey, but desire in the public mind TO
bring the politics of the country to higher
plain of morality. The Republican party
is greater than any Of its leaders and the
success or defeat of any man will not dis
tarb the spirit of progress which has ever
been its chief characteristic. The lesson
taught Republicans by the late elections
sas, perhaps, needed and will produce
beneficial results. The party will be purer
and stronger, in two years from now. than
il has been for some time. Designing
and unsersp1luoas men have been
taught n the past and viii always find that
the Republican party affords no permanent
shelter for them. The party is strong
enough, and Intelligent enough to purify it.

result in temporary defeat. il will always be
found stronger after it. Let us not then be
