A PROFESSORS GAME.
His Students Arc Determined to Esze
Him, and He Humors tho Boys.

His Students Arc Determined to Eaze
Him, and He Humors tho Boys.
Aparty Of smart young students in q
certain town in Kentucky conceived
the brilliant idea last winter Of hazing
their new professor. 1t was decided
after much deliberation to invite him
coon-hunling, and after leading him
about in the woods until completely
bewndered to abandon him, and let
him find his way back to the settlement
or remain In the woods all night.
Now, as the professor was stranger
and weighed over two hundred pounds,
this scheme seemed too funny for
anything, and many hearty laugh
did they have over it. The invita-
ton was given and accepted; the
appointed night came, cold and
clear with several feet of snow on
the ground. Every thing moved along
as arranged. The professor seemed
guileless and unsusp Getting, but beneath
his puffy eyelids now and then cleaned
an amusing twinkle. They had plod-
ded through the snow for several hours,
and the leader was about to give the
signal to disperse when the professor
sank to the ground with groan Of
7"0hl ohr' he moaned. "one of my
attacks again. For mercy's sake, boys,
get me to q place Of shelter or I'm q
dead man."
Talk about scared boys. Here they
were nearly five miles from the nearest
house and an apparently dying man on
their hands. Something must be done,
and quickly, too, A litter was hastily
improvised, and with coats for cush-
ions, the professor was gently laid
thereon and homeward they started, a
sorry set of practical jokers, taking
turns at carrying their massive pre-
ceptor.
Not a sound was heard but the moans
of the professor and the grunts Of the
students, who were straining every
nerve to keep from jostling the patient
After what seemed score of miles, the
weary, bedraggled fellows carefully
lowered their burden to snatch a few
minutes rest before entering the vii
lage, which was within astone's throw
when, what was their surprise to SEE
the professor leisurely arise from his
comfortable couch and cody observe
much obliged, boys! much obliged
But one word. The next time want
ed to play practical jokes l would Sc
lect an invalid for a subject" and witt
chuckle he strode on.
And those boys sat there in the snow
and swore until they melted plac,

CURIOUS NAMES.
Tho Pretty Romance Concerning the
Queerest Of Them.

Ano FreCty tOmance concerning tno
Queerest Of Them. ,
Westminster Abbey is dead. I knew
him well as a thrifty business man, and
for many years he was at the head Of
the firm Of Abbey & Freeman. l al
ways wondered why his parents gave
him sueh.a name, but perhaps they had
heard Of Westminster Abbey as a place
Of fame, and therefore determined to
give their child immediate distinction.
1t is difficult to imagine why parents
make such ridiculous selections-P
served Fish, for instance. This man
was very successful merchant and
founded the opulent house of Fish,
Grinnell & Co., at present Grinnell,
Minturn 4 Co. An ingenious fiction
says he was babe cast on the beach by
the waves that broke over wreck, and
his rescuers named him in memory Of
this event. All nonsense! He came
from New Bedford (where the family is
well known) in company with the Grin
nells, and they established themselves
here in trade. Some other odd names
are found among our old families, and
mention Return Jonathan Meigs" as
one instance in which the 0ddity may be
explained. jonathan Meigs was q
Connecticut youth who courted q girl
with such little success that he deter
mined to make a final effort, and then,
II refused, to finally withdraw. Accord
ingly he called on the hard-hearted fair
one, and being again refused he took
his departure, but before he got out Of
the house he heard the exclamation:
''Return Jonathan!' The youth re-
turned, and found the hard heart had
suddenly become tender; the fair one,
indeed, had changed her mind with that
rapidity which is the privilege Of the
sex, They were married, and as very
natural result the first boy that blessed
the happy union was named in honor of
that critical time in their courtship.
Return Jonathan Meigs became a man
of some distinction, and held the Office Of
Postmaster-General under Monroe's adj
mipistration. may add that Rowland
Fish, cashier OF the First National Bank
Of Johnsontown, has the certificate Of
appointment Of his grandfather as post:
master of that place in 1916, signed by
Return Jonathan Meigs, Postmaster
General.-M Y. Cor. Troy Times.

A Prudent Father.

There Is village not quite one hum
dred miles from Boston which contains
minister whois noted for the number
of marriages of minors consummated
during his pastorate. Ministers who
for the sake of petty fee will ruthlcssly
destroy the happiness of two homes by
their "no-question-asked" policy, ought
to be locked up as dangerous members
of society. With two children scarcely
out of their grammar school likely to
fancy that they love each other, and a
minister of this kind within fifteen miles,
no home is safe from these clandestine
marriages, and parents, to protect their
homes, would do well to do as the father
of "spoony" young son did recently.
He filed the correct ages Of his son and
his intended with the town registrars
and resident clergymen within radius
Of ten miles, and warned them that the
marriage would be illegal because his
son was a minor, Boston Traveller.

Elre at the O. =.

On the morning of the 81 inst q
destructive fire broke out In the o.
p, at Columbus in the shops of
Wheel and Bending Co owned by
Eberly & Killian.
There was some mistake or delay
In giving the alarm to the city fire
department and for some time the
only water supply was from the
prison stand pipe, which threw five
streams and did much to check the
fire. The result has commended
the Hoadly Board of Managers for
their wisdom in planning and con-
stucting the prison water-works.
The total amount of the damage
amounts to about $71,60O, of which
the State loses $4,000. The insur-
ance is about $4,000. Lack of space
prevents us from giving a more
lengthy account.

Senator Thurman.

The New York Sun pays the fol-
lowing well-deserved tribute to
Mr.. Thurman:
"Mr. Thurman will see his last
sun set with Democratic eyes, Just
as he has seen it with Democratic
eyes all his life. His mind, that
which looks through the eyes, is
the mind of a Democrat, powerful,
elevated, sincere, unselfish, inde-
fatigable in its duty in the world
of politics, and regarding the great
turmoil Of Democracy with SYM
pathy and satisfaction denied to
the petty and pretentious, but
which marks the true patriot, the
man who loves and believes In his
fellow men.
Mr.. Thurman was not reared in
an atmosphere of mugwumpery
and humbug, but has breathed the
breath of Democracy from his first
day and will do SO to his last. All
honor to him."
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1886-10-23

leaders having failed to convict
any Democrats of completely in the
election frauds last fall, through
the grand jury, determined 10 try
another plan as it was discovered
that the testimony of perjured, con-
victs would not hold water. On
Monday the Republican prosecutor
who is Gov. Foraker's tool, swore
out warrants for the arrest of half
a dozen leading Democrats, and a
hearing was fixed for Thursday be-
fore a Republican justice. 1t is ex-
pected that lot of convicts will
be brought out of the Penitentiary
as witnesses, and by their testimony
it is expected to have the Demo-
Gratis bound over to court. Such a
scheme, just on the eve Of an i'm
portant election, is readily under
stood. No outrage is too dastardly
for Republican leaders, in this
campaign.
The shades of death appear to be
lowering over the 6. o. p. and the
most violent measures are resort
ed to to prejudice the public mind.
If there was any truth in the al
legations of the Prosecuting Att'y's
charges, he must have known the
facts months ago, and could have
had this testimony before the re-
cent grand jury, but he knew that
had he done so, the charges would
have failed, as happened in the
other cases. He does not think
that an indictment will be found
against any one of the arrested
parties, nor does he care, so long
as his party receives the benefit of
the suspicion cast upon them by
his Zebra clad associates in crime.
Personal liberty and private Sc
curity and good name go for but
little when they are thought to
stand in the way of Republican
success.

The Duty Of Democrats.

Democrats should stick to their
entire ticket this fall. Every vote
cast by Democrat for Republi-
can is a blow at the party and a
source of aid to it's enemies. Every
such vote approves the partisan
war of the senate on President
Cleveland, approves the vile attacks
on Pension Commissioner Black
and Land Commissioner Sparks,
and encourages Republicans of all
grades in their incessant and in
sidious attempts to break down
harrass and hinder, the Democratic
administration and to east odium
ON Democrats everywhere and at
all times. When all the candidates
are above objection, it is the duty
of loyal Democrats to work and
vote for the whole ticket. Work
for and vote the whole Democratic
ticket this fall.

WHEN the Democratic admins
tration came into power there
were less than 4O,OO0,OOO of silver
dollars in circulation. Now there
are over 6O,OOO,OOO. And SO soon
as the new silver certificates
can be made ready, the whole
amount of silver dollars coined
will be speedily represented in cir
culation, and that without danger
to the perpetuity of the double
standard. Such is the magnificent
record of the Democratic manage
ment of the treasury.

Republication on the Rampage.

We are, during this campaign
reaping the fruits of the crop of
lawlessnoss and anarchy so plenti-
fully sown last winter by the Re-
publican members of the Legisla-
ture. Then the chief instrument
of revolution and lawlessness was
one Robt. Kennedy, who unfortu-
nately for the fair name and fame
Of Ohio, occupied the position of
Lieutenant Governor, and er-o6icio
president of the State Senate.
His unconstitutional, arbitrary
and partisan rulings are remember
ed with shame by every true lover
of pure honest and constitutional
government in the State. and all
join in the hope that his acts may
never be repeated in this or any
other State of our government.
Let it be recorded, to the eternal
disgrace of the Republican party,
this violator of law and order re-
ceived the nomination of that par
ty for Congress in the eight dis
trict, and his canvass is character
lied by the same lawlessness and
disregard of the rights of others
that marked the action of this self
styled Aristocrat, during the sess-
ion of last winters Rump Senate.
At the Republican meeting, at
Bellefountaine, little more than a
week ago, he and his friends ar
ranged for an excursion from
Springfield, which conveyed from
that city to Bellfountaine, large
number of the toughest elements
of society as boomers of the Re-
publican cause. The result was a
fearful riot in which one man was
killed, twenty-five wounded and
many thousand dollars worth of
private property destroyed, women
insulted and utter ruin threatened,
for the time, the fair city.
We were 10th to charge the out
rage to the Republican party, as an
organization, but thought it was
the work of individuals under the
influence of bad whiskey, for which
perhaps no one was responsible but
the perpetrators, But when one
week later the same parties dis
tributed excursion tickets from
Springfield to London, to once
more boom the cause of Kennedy;
and here again the same scenes of
lawlessness were enacted, and
terrorism resigned supreme on the
streets while bowling mob, arm
ed with croquet mallets, to repre-
sent the gavel so ANONYMOUSLY
welded by Kennedy last winter,
thumped and pounded the fences,
buildings, and heads of everything
and every body that came in their
way.
One man among the rioters was
shot to death and another barely
escaped.
When the cause of any party is
so unpopular, or so poor that it re-
quires the aid of terrorism lawless-
ness and revolution to prevent de-
feat, it deserves to be deserted by
every. law loving citizen, and we
will think less of any man who vol
unfairly casts his vote to sanction
such acts.
Truly the &. O. p. has Outlived
it's usefulness and deserves to be
relegated to the realms of forget
fulness.
