township Election.

ED. PREss.-As our township elec-
ton is near at hand, perhaps word
in regard to candidates may not be out
of place, and I wish to call attention
particularly to our township Trustees.
Our people, fear, do not fully appre-
ciate the amount of labor, the fearful
mental strain, the wear and tear and
personal sacrifice they are required to
make for the public good. Now, 1
have thought that perhaps our present
trustees were so modest that they
might fail to do themselves justice in
the matter of compensation. I under
stand they only voted themselves two
hundred and seventy-five dollars for
their years services. Our statute says
they shall be allowed one dollar and
fifty cents per day for the time actually
employed. One of the trustees kept
an accurate account of his time spent
while acting officially. which at legal
fees amounted to little over sixteen
dollars, which was all he claimed, but
was finally induced to accept fifty dol
lars, one hundred to No. 2, and one
hundred and twenty-five to No. S.
Now, who among our citizens fails to
see that these faithful, efficient officers
have entirely ignored private interest?
Why, the three trustees of Randolph
township, in their late settlement
brought in a bill for their years SER
vices as follows: One of them So 80
one 81 so and one So Is, aggregating
$2S Is. But Randolph has not as largi
population as Rayenna. No; but IL
has as many roads and bitches, and i
must be remembered that one and one
half mile square in the most populou
part of Ravenna is under the contro
and looked after by theVillage Council
In this connection it might be wei
to inquire how much in addition t
/ the Sections salary is paid by tn
trustees for raking up leaves, &c, &C.

ATWATER,
Correspondence.

Correspondence
AS only write once year on this
subject, and as it is intended to be in
structive, / ought to be INDUCED a
little further.
Bobb thinks my whittle is not very
sharp because 1 am not abusive. 1t
was not my intention to make chips of
him, but to prune him SO that he
might bear good fruit. Besides, my
hints were not intended for him alone.
If they are practical and valuable they
ought to he worth something to others.
1t is not possible that he could speak
for anyone but himself. He makes a
poor defense for writing foolishness
for amusement. 1t may go very well
as long as the fun is on his side, but
let it be at his expense and it would
not be SO enjoyable. He would be in
clined to clinch and scratch. If he
does not see any bad effects from such
writing, it is no sign that none exist
L can inform him he has driven away
nearly all the few friends he had. But
this is peculiar to him as to others who
do as he does.
This brings me to another PROPOSE
ton. A correspondent should be
truthful. Itshould be the aim of news
papers to give facts only to their read
ers. A falsehood in jest is not agreea-
lo hoe ir.ti N0f ofk
friendship Withstand such freedom. A
man calls me his friend and at the same
time tells falsehoods about me, then 1.
say he may go elsewhere for friends,
" for liars we can never trust" To
make this plain l will quote few lines
from Bobb. "Atwater failed to find
milk enough to satisfy his hunger or
otherwise stop his bawling continually
Should it ever be his pleasure to come
again We hope it may be in dog days,
as milk is of little consequence then"
AS l look on this it is an entire fabri-
cation, without any incident for
foundation. Now this goes all over
the country, but only a few people in
Atwater are acquainted with the facts.
If were called upon to testify in court
my testimony would be as l have
written, But it is only my object to
give my opinions'and let others do IS
may suit them. This young man who
has been so slandered is in = good stand
ing, and free from all sinful habits, and
has relatives of good character here.
One other subject 1 would like to
mention. Always relate your items
so they may be understood by the
readers wherever the paper circulates.
If you allude to circumstances known
only to those concerned, and do not
explain them so as to be understood by
others, you only bore instead of in
struct. WHITTLE.

Sugar! Sugar. Supar!

Now here is word in regard to
sugar that most people don't stop to
think of. Some stores advertise to sell
you sugars at cost. Now, that is all
we'll enough for the customer, if he
only stops there and goes somewhere
else to buy the rest of his goods. Well,
why? Because if you finish your
trading there the willy grocer will
make you pay good profit on the
sugar by charging you big prices on
other articles that you are not so well
acquainted with, such as spices, tea,
and lots of other things. These are
plain facts and don't you forget it, but
stick it in your hat and keep it for ref
erence, and when you want goods at
reasonable prices go to VanNess' and
you will get them.

The Concert and Banquet given at
the Opera House Monday night-St.
Patrick's day-was an immense and
very pleasant affair. The house was
filled to its utmost capacity, and the
program, which consisted of singing
and short speeches in response to
toasts in honor of Ireland and her
people, was admirably rendered, and
everybody went away delighted with
the entertainment. After the close of
exercises at the Opera House sumptu-
Gus supper was served at Citizens
Hall, of which large number partook.

A TIGER LOOSE.
COmmOtiOn Caused by an EScapet
Jaguar Near Dayton, o.

Jaguar Near Day ton, O.
On the evening of the 9th, Barrett's
circus passed through Dayton, O., on
its way east, but was stopped by the
burned Cleveland, Columbus, Cincin-
natl & Indianapolis railroad bridge
near Enon, seventeen miles from Day
ton. A monster jaguar escaped from
it's cage, and was not heard of by its
owner, J. L. Shoemate, until next
morning. The beast, finding itself re-
leased, fed rapidly across the country,
alarming people who we're up late,
stampeding cattle, wounding many
i and killing and sucking the blood Of
others. About midnight the beast had
reached Dryden's mills, five miles
south of Dayton, where farmer, VIM.
Lesher, was awakened bya great com.
motion in his hog-pen. He got up,
with neighbor, a gun and lantern,
found dead hog and the jaguar kill
ing another. The rest were squealing,
dashing against the pen and trying to
get out. He shot the animal in the
hind parts, and it jumped at the men
and chased them into the house. It
took drink and fed down the pike.
The whole country was alarmed, and
100 men with rifles and side-arms
searched all night. At daylight two
women signaled distress. The men
hastened to their relief and found and
shot the jaguar dead i'm an outhouse be-
longing to DR.. Whist, at Alexander.

AN AVENGING NEMESIS,
Arrest OF An Ohio BigamiSt 0l
Charges Preferred by His First

Arrest OF an Ohio Bigamist On
Charges Preferred by Ills First
Wiles
Thomas j. Benskine, a middle.aged
man, was arrested at Dayton, O., on the
5th, on charge of bigamy preferred
by his first wife, who told a very sensa.
tional story. She claims that after
using her money, he abandoned her in
Toledo three years ago, and says that
since then she has been on his track
like an avenging Nemesis. She tracked
him to Fort Wayne, Ind, where she al
leees he was the cause Of the ruin and
death from alleged malpractice of
a girl named Josie Brown, with
whom he was living. There he
was known by the name of Gibson.
She followed him to Logansport, Ind,
where she had papers drawn up charg-
ing him with serious crimes, but he
somehow escaped. She again got on
his track. in Chicago, following him to
Muncie, Ind, thence to Cincinnati, and
from there to Dayton. She has been
in the latter place about two weeks and
