Concerning The Grand Army Of the
Republic and the Canton Post.
Outside of the members of the Grand
Army of the Republic little is known of
its aims and objects. It is an association
of ex-soldiers and sailors of the war of the
rebellion, bound together by the ties Of
friendship, charity and loyalty. In
friendship its members meet and cement
the acquaintances formed on the weary
march, on the lonely picket posrend in
the fire and heat of battle, which were
surrendered temporarily at the muster-out
of service and the scattering to their sew
eral homes and thence to all points of the
compass.
They exercise the spirit of charity not
alone in words, but in deeds, as can be
testified by various citizens OF Lincoln
county, although they do not make an os-
tentatious display Of this portion of their
| creed.
They are pledged in loyalty to defend
the union of the United States OF Amerl-
ca, to conscientiously obey its laws, to
promote purity in public as vel as private
affairs and to protect the flag of our coun-
try as the emblem of the free.
| Politics and politicians have no counte-
nance in it's affairs, its proceedings being
confined strictly to the three principal ten
ats-friendship, charity and loyalty.
The members of General Lyon Post
No. II will soon be uniformed and will
make grand street parade about the first
Of May.
It is the intention of the officers Of the
officers OF this post toemake it SO efficient
that it will rank second to mono in drill,
department or anything pertaining to the
welfare of its members and the widows
and orphans Of their late comrades.

An outbreak occurred at Cincinnati last

An outbreak occurred at Cincinnati last
week which resulted in the death of scores
of people and the total destruction of
thousands of dollars worth of valuable
public property. The beginning of the
riot was an attempt made to lynch man
named Brenner, an acknowledged murder
er, the jury finding him guilty OF but
manslaughter The verdict awakened
public Indignation and armed forces were
organized to demand enforcem ent of the
law. The sequel was a horrible riot, a
desperate attack on the Jail and hand to
hand conflict with the militia, resulting in
the esca pe-of -of@se-snusderer. STREETS were
barricaded and every possible effort made
by the authorities with the help of all the
available militia of the state, to secure Or
der, but the pressure of the mob was too
great, an infuriated crowd surrounding
the court house and jail and firing the
building while the fremen were kept
from subduing the flames. The militia
poured an unmerciless fire into the
masses, killing many, and finally after the
arrival of foreign troops the mob was par
TALLY broken and the irtmen enabled to
save the city from total destruction After
a three days reign of terror, an event un-
paraleled in the United States, order was
restored on Monday of this week and the
troops were ordered back to quarters.
Berner is safely barricaded in the Colum-
bus penitentiary and no more trouble is
anticiDated
