Death of Bill Terrell.

Bill Terrell, the notorious We'll
don murderer, died at the peni-
tentiary, on last Friday. His re-
mains werc brought down on
Monday and taken to Gore for
interment by the side Of his par
ents.
For more than a year past he
was an invalid and an lmbecile,
his loss of mind and health re-
sultiRg from his own beastly in
stincts.
His death closes another chap
ter in the horrible history, and
leaves the mystery of that mur-
der as profound As before.
On several occasions within
the year he sad he would "tell
all about it," but when asked to
do SO, he would become silent.
Our prosecuting attorney, the
sheriff, a number of attorneys,
have called to see him, at request
of the authorities of the peniten-
tiary, thinking from what he had
said. he would make a full dis
closure, but when introduced, he
would decline to say anything.
His secret, if he had one, dies
with him.
Morgan Richards is reported
imbecile and also fast failing in
health.

What Kind of Cranks Run to Fires?

Among the unsolved problems of the
age there Is none more intricate than
the strange fascination exercised over
certain minds by the sights, sounds and
associations of everything relating to
fires and fire engines. There is an inn
portant and increasing number of these
people called cranks by other people,
who are too ignorant to appreciate
either the peculiarly Of the nature thus
attracted or the intense enjoyment of
the attraction, who are as unable to
resist the impulse to run to fire as if
they were mere autOmatons compelled
to do SO by some invisible force connect
ed with the fire engine. This impulse
is the overmastering desire of their nat
ure, and nothing can approach its in
tensity.
The sound of the fire engine has the
mysterious power of withdrawing the
attention from any pursuit or amuse-
ment in hand. 1t takes complete pos
session of all the faculties and compels
their intense devotion in its service.
There is 70 attraction strong enough
to resist its powerful spell.
All other sounds are the widest dis
cord compared with it. 1t is the high
est and sweetest harmony in the uni
verse to the ear Tor which it possesses
the mysterious charm. Even the
counting of the strokes of the gong is
done by these men without any effort
such as must be made in the simplest
calculation by other people. The num-
Der indicating the locality of the fire
seems 10 be impressed Oh the mind by
intuition without any mental eXertion
to catch the notation in the way that
ordinary mind sets in relation to COM
mon calculations. The mind seems to
anticipate the very spct where the fire
is located after the first thrilling sound
OF the charming gong.-Nsw York Star

A Creeping Horror.

Several young people-bright, imag-
NATIVE and observant-sat one evening
until late talking over the subject OF
supernatural experience, and OF the
close all retired more or less in state
OF excitement. One of the young la
dies, Il brave but nervous girl, was
somewhat startled by the thought that
She heard, an hour or SO after she had
retired, a groan in the hall, by her
chamber door. Soon she heard it
again, and then the door she fancied
she had locked slowly opened and q
white shape entered the moo lit room;
a groveling, moaning shape that slowly
crept along to her bed. A cold hand
seized her wrist and clutched her arms,
and an inarticulate voice strove to
speak. Then she saw with horror a
deep mark on the throat that she grasp
ed. 1t was warm! 1t was moist! But
her fingers had lost their power to
relax, aud she held the sfluldering
shape till her screams brought her
friends. There with her fingers still
gripping his bloody throat, was her
own cousin! Worked upon by the ex-
citing conversation of the evening, he
had gone to his room and cut his throat.
Repenting too late he had entered the
next room for aid; too weak to walk he
crawled to her side and shc-had chok-
ed him to Geath!-BcStOn I'rdUeler.

The Pips.

ca pipe! 1t is a great comforter, a
pleasant soother. Blue devils fly before
It's honest breath! 1t ripens the brain;
it opens the heart; and the man who
smokes thinks like sage and acts like
a Samaritan" So said Lord Lytton,
who may have been right. and may
have been wrong, though judicious
people will have no desire to see smok-
ing made the test of wisdom and virtue.
The ancients did not indulge in the
habit, and appear to have enjoyed them
selves fairly well without the weed,
which Columbus, first of Europeans,
saw the Crazy Horses and '.Sitting
Bulls Of the period indulging in, by
the native North American Indian
name of tobacco. Could some Hellenic
Jean Nicot CT Latin Walter Raleigh
have taught the Greeks and Romans
the seductive practice, Alcibiades and
the Athenian dandies would have as
suredly pulled cigarettes, and Horace,
in dressing gown and slippers, sitting
in an ivory chair, beside his Bandusian
fountain, would have watched the deli
cate blue wreaths curling up sgainst
the dark background of lick and laur-
ell from the bowl of his brier-root; while
Seneca, as much man of the world as
philosopher, would, perhaps. have af-
fected enly the best brands of Havanas;
and, to go back to Greece, Socrates
must have certainly smoked q church
warden. The eye and ear of imagina-
ton picture the composed sage smiling
at the futile rage OF Xantippe between
TIE deliberately exhaled puffs of his
long, classical ''clay." A society with
out tobacco certainly lacked one OF the
greatest sedatives of civilization; the
wonder is. how the fathers of poetry
managed to heguile the muses. minus

DEATH OF MRS. ELIZABETH
WRIGHT.

Early in this century there
lived in Somerset Co., Pa, Mr..
samuel Tannehill and his wife,
quiet, Industrious farmer folks.
On the 7th of Nov. 1907, daugh-
ter was born to them whom they
named Elizabeth. When this
daughter was about Z years of
age, the family moved to Green
township, Hooking Co., O.. which
was then an almost unbroken
wilderness. Here, with few ad
vantages of schools or churches,
the family lived a rugged pioneer
life. At the age of d, Elizabeth
was married to Mr.. John Wright,
a young farmer in the neighbor-
hood, who, more provident than
most young men, had already
purchased = piece of land and
built him a house. In this the
young couple at once began
house keeping, on what has long
been known as the Wright farm,
4 miles east of Logan.
Here ten children were born to
them, three of whom died in
childhood. The oldest son is now,
and for many years has been, the
honored Judge of our Common
Pleas Court. The third son has
been honored by his fellow citi
zens with seat in the State Leg
islature. The oldest of the fam
lily, daughter, died few years
since in Iowa.
Mr.. Wright died in 1916, leav-
ing the farm and the family to
the care of the widow. In this
trying situation she ever main
tained the character Of a gener
Gus, sympathizing neighbor and
a noble mother.
A few years ago she became a
of the Presbyterian
Church in Logan. AS her Pastor
I have taken great pleasure IN
:he recital of her trials, and the
sustaining comforts of divine
grace in her late years. For the
last three months of her life she
was a great sufferer, but always
patient, and always had a firm
trust in Christ as her Savior
On the evening of Feb. 13, 1884
in her 77th year. she died in the
house where she began her mar
red life more than 55 years be-
fore. blessed are the dead who
lie in the Lord"

Our Cat with the Scarlet Fever.

The ways of our cat ''Becky are al
ways winning, and sometimes remark
able, but the feat which has made her
famous is-catching the scarlet fever.
Many persons do not believe that a
cat can take disease from a human be-
ing, but this cat did it most undoubted-
ly. and was very seriously i'll for more
than a week. Ii began by her insisting
on visiting the patient, her young mis-
tress, though the latter was. too ill to
notice the little animal lying on the
bed, and when at last Becky was forci-
bly, driven from her post, it was too
late, for customary symptoms of the
disease plainly showed themselves.
She was violently sick, and her throat
and tongue became so inflamed that
she could not swallow; (no one thought
to find out whether there was rash
under her fur), but at all events she
grew thinner every day, as she could
neither eat nor drink, and the physician
in attendance prescribed for her an easy
death by chloroform. However. some
one suggested putting hot poultices on
her throat, as this treatment gave great
relief to the human patient, and accord
ingly flax seed meal was applied, Becky
submitting without struggle. Some
times it seemed as if the poultice was
hot enough to scald her, but she bore the
heat bravely, evidently knowing what
it was for.
One morning, the person who took
charge of the poultices, was awakened
before light, by puss, who, after "claw-
ing her vigorously, went to the table
under the gas-burner where the linseed
was heated, and sat looking up wistful-
ly. 1t was very evident that she want
ed a hot poultice, for the one last put
on\was quite cold, and after obtaining
what she had come for, Becky went
down stairs again contented.
In few days she was convalescent,
and spent most of her time before the
fire in the invalid's room, making weak
to lick her coat, which through
neglect had lost all its gloss.
The first sign of returning appetite
showed itself when she endeavored to
eat the cork of the cod-liver-oil bottle.
She probably thought it would give her
she being reflective cat
and particularly fond of fish. This case
of scarlet fever is an absolute fact, as
can be certified by several Witnesses
