HOW CREIGHTON KILLS RATS"
THE TRUE "TALE."

CIRCLEvILLE, O., March, "a, 1884
To the Editors of the Standard:
Please allow me to say though of
the same name and the same place of res
idence as the rat-killer mentioned in last
weeks Standard, that I am in no way re-
lated to him. Creighton the rat-killer
and myself are two different persons. I
make this correction lest the fool-killer
might have read the article and come
nosing around to get whack at me. 1
have been accused of as many evil deeds
as Mr.. Wesley was, and / seldom step
aside to deny these ISLANDERS, but this is
altogether too serious charge to go un-
challenged. 1 think the Creighton you
refer to must be the fellow that held the
bag for the snipes. Circumstantial evil
dence is very powerful, and it is evident
that the sack you refer to must be that
veritable bag devoted to another purpose.
AS to the steel trap 1 never owned one.
My father taught me when boy that a
steel trap was cruel; that cruelty was dev-
ilish, and whatever evils may be charged
to me, no being in Heaven or earth can
name one instance of cruelty in all the
catalogue of my many alleged "ornrynes-
ses."
am aware that many persons are liza
BILE to believe that rat killing story, be-
cause they will be easily led to believe
that a man is fool just because he is
preacher; but beg you to remember
that not all fools are preachers, even
though some foolish preacher may occas-
sionally bring reproach on the profession.
Now Mr.. Ed, though 1 have never
fought with beasts of Ephesis," some
times feel like it, and if you will just
show me the fellow that gave you the
rat story I'll agree to lick him if he is lit
tie, or set a steel trap for him is he is big.
Yours for peace,
c.. f. CREIGHTON.

On last Friday two brutes were hung
at Columbia, KY, above whose graves per-
haps very few tears will be shed. These
were Champ and Rudolph Fitzpatrick,
who jumped onto peaceable man NAM
ed Brewster, and murdered him, in the
presence of his little son. We have no
record that these brutal beasts secured
the usual passport to Heaven. They died
as they had ived-the lowest and most
degraded brutes, and the officer who
sprung the trap which killed the wretches,
struck blow in defense of society. This
was similar case to the hanging of the
Jones boys at this place, and these Fitz-
patrick brothers were sentenced to be
hung on the 29th of February, but got a
respite for three weeks.

"Nothing more disgraceful has occurred
in the history of politics in this country,
than that which transpired at Columbus
last week. We refer to the belly-craWl-
ing attitude of the Democratic legislators
to the whisky power" "-GallipoIs Joatr7a-
al.
Just so. Your eyes are being opened
to the fact that it is disgraceful to crawl
to the whisky power. The Standard has
always taken the ground that the proper
thing to do with the whisky power was
to kill it. We hold-what has been
abundently proven-that it is better to
seek the support of a good man, in polit-
ical matters, than to court the favor of a
bloated and idiotic doggery-keeper. For
this, Republican papers and politicians
that did not have the courage to take the
bold stand for the right which we have
ever taken, held up their hands and
warned us that we were running the par
ty.
Whenever we get to that point where
we believe it will injure the Republican
party to do right, we will conclude that
we are not fit to be in any party. Many
Republican papers and politicians have
done as mean crawling toward the dog
gerry influence. as the Democratic Legis-
lature is guilty of, and we are glad to
note growing realization of the error of
such position.
The result in Jackson County last Fall
fully illustrated that the Republican par
| ty never suffers in a battle between right
and wrong. The Republican party and
the Standard together marched to victory
while the paper went still further, and
by telling the truth about this horrible
liquor traffic secured near double the ma
jority for the destruction of the traffic
that had been secured for the County
ticket. 1t always pays to do right.

Among the improvements, Mitchell,
Pollock & Co., are adding largely to their
already roomy foundry buildings, and the
Franklin Mill Co., are putting in the ma
chinery for manufacturing flour by the
roller process. This mill machinery will
be a beautiful piece of work, and if it
does the work it is expected to do, will
cause valuable addition to the industries
of Jackson, in that it will doubtless hold
most if not all, of the big flour trade OF
this region at home.

says:

Well, there's no use in paper having
delinquent subscribers. The Standard
has great army of subscribers, compris-
ing people of all nationailties and all
creeds. But there are no delinqnents
among them. The subscribers, like the
paper, are "truly good" and we get along
well together.

There is some talk of movement
looking toward an extension of the c. w.
& B. road, from the Huron Switch on up
the Mcdowell Valley, and through to the
ore region of J. R. Hunter and others, in
Franklin Township. There is no doubt
that great field of iron ore could be
reached by such a road, and by very
easy grade, and though the iron business
is not lively just now, there may shortly
be livening up which would make such a
road profitable all around.

We called al the Huron Furnace a few

We called al the Huron Furnace few
days ago, in taking stroll. The old
stand looks lonely, and although doing
good work when the Furnace stopped,
things are now crumbling to decay rapid
ly. Should the Furnace start now, a new
hot-blast would be needed, and the pot
house, although built of brick, with iron
roof, is crumbling, and will soon fall to
pieces. Some five hundred tons of iron
is yet lying on the ground near the
switch, ready to ship, provided anybody
will buy it at decent price.
