PRKslDEET Cleveland recently ap-
pointed half dozen cadets 10 the
Naval Academy at Annapolis. and
every one was . son or q grandson or
either naval or an army officer
It has long been very much the
fashion for Presidents to make this
use Of the cadelships which are at
their disposal; and bad fashion we
think it is.
There should be rotation 10 every
kind Of Offices in this country, most
especially in the Offices of tie army
and navy. There should be no such
thing as family interest connected
with this kind Of public employment
It might be well if there war pro-
vision In the Constitution forbidding
inheritances of the sort; and If Presi-
dent Cleveland had departed entirely
from the example Of bis predecessors
and had refused to appoint either to
the Military or the Naval Academy
any son of an army or navy officer,
be would have been entitled to public
commentator.
Besides, it is misfortune for boys
born and reared amid that sort of Of
licial associations, to be kept in them.
1t would be much better for them to
be taken out of such ruts and sent to
mingle with the free life of the peo-
pie at large.
We commend these ideas to the
particular attention OF the President,
the Secretary of War, the Secretary
of tbe Navy. and whomscever it may
concern.-N T. Sun.

QUESTIONS FOR HOME STUDY.


1. SoaDi7lg.-0. 27-34.
Where had the Disciples been while the conversa-
tion was proceeding between Jesus and the woman
Ans-They had been sent to the city of Sychar, to
buy meat
Why did they marvel that he talked with her?
Ans.-First Because she Samaritan woman,
and second because 1t contrary to custom to talk
to any woman on the street.
Why did they not question him?
Ans.-Because his looks repelled any spirit of in
quiry on their part.
How did the seed Christ had sown in the woman s
heart spring to life?
Ans.-She was convinced that he was the Messiah,
and off hastily to tell the good to her people.
What did Jesus announce to his disciples as the
purpose of his life?
Ans.-"To don-to win souls, and die for men.
Ro,o had one of the earliest of Gods creatures
pressed the same thing?
Ans.-"Neither haveI gone back from the COM
mandment of his lips; have esteemed the words of
his mouth than my necessary food,'-Job 90, r.
2. Redpi71g.-U 35-42.
Where was the woman while this conversation
with the disciples was occurring?
Ans.-She was sowing the seed among her people
conveying Christs message.
As it closes, who appear upon the scene?
Ans.-Many of the Samaritans. They possessed
weak sort of faith and desired Jesus to remain with
them for time
What could suggest to Jesus mind the figure in
verse 35p
Ans.-The people were clad in white garments, and
were doubtless at this time swarming toward Jesus
and his disciples.
What is to be the reward of the reaper in Gods
harvest?
Ans.-He will gather fruit unto eternal life.
What is the law of spiritual sowing and reaping?
Ans.-One generation sews, another reaps the re-
ward. There is joy in sowing the seed of the gos-
pei with the belief that others will be benefited by it,
Whose sowing had prepared The world for the SOW
ing done by Peter, Paul, and others?
Ans-The Prophets.
What was the harvest in Samaria?
Ans.-A great turning to and accepting of, Christ
as the true Messiah. The Samaritans claimed to be
the true Israel many accepted Christ as the
Messiah of the whole world.

An attempt was made to rob Mckit-
terick's Store, on Sunday morning, before
daylight, which for boldness has scarcely
been equaled in this place This Store is
near the O. S. Depot, on the corner of
Bridge and Water Streets. 1t is large
brick, with plate-glass doors, and light
is kept burning all night in the bus mess
room. The burglars stole some tools
from Rapp's Wagon and Carriage Shop,
and attempted, with large chisel, to pry
the side door off, failing in which they
went to the front door and bored two
holes, with brace and bit, in attempting
to get the lock 1oosened. In this they
also failed, when they took a stone and
threw it through the glass of the door,
making large opening through the glass
of the door, making a large opening
through which they entered. In the
money drawer was perhaps seventy-five
cents in change which they appropriat-
ed, together with about a hundred cigars.
The police had been along that way about
three o'clock, and all was safe and sound
then, so the robbery must have taken
place between that and daylight. The
breaking of the glass was heard by a
but as there are two or three
doggeries near by, not much attention
was paid to to it. We have heard that
former attempt was made upon this store.
This last attempt was certainly as bold
as it was clumsy, although the thieves
some shrewdness in refusing
to take any goods, by which they might
be caught.

Talks With People!

Sometimes, in the course of ordinary conversation
there "reminiscences and sayings dropped that
worth preserving. Such conversation was thet held
one evening last week, in Main Street business
house. An old Assessor led off with some of his
periences. He had been very liberal in his assess
ments never depressing the poor with putting their
property up. At one place he asked man the price
of team, and was assured that the team was worth
nearly two hundred dollars. II put it down." said
he, las one horse. threw in the other horse and
the wagon, and before went away threD IN the 9TH
horSet''
On another occasion man came to him in a crowd,
and desiring to pose man of means, said: 'Mr.
-, you assessed me too high this year. You put
my cows away up, and all my property too high My
taxes Just double this year. what they were last
The Assessor excused himself and went to the record
to investigate. 81 found" said he, THAT had not
assessed anything for him but dog and he had ner-
paid the tar on the dog!''
j. NJ. Evens spoke of having met, couple of years
ago, in Kentucky, man named Meredith Workman,
who had since been sent to prison. This was the
who escaped from the Ohio Penitiary some years
ago, and came through Jackson. W. ID. Trago, and
perhaps Others met him the streets, yet he went
that night and stole horse from l.. w. kinhtson,
and lit out for Kentucky. He sent back to pris
on from here. This man has been in prison over
thirty years, having broken into the store of s. NJ
Pollock, ih Kentucky, and stolen safe, over thirty
years ago. On that occasion, man took after him
and ran him down. He was a fine looking man, but a
terrible criminal.
w. D. Trago told of a lawsuit Rip Hoffman and the
late Levi DUNCAN had before certain Justice of the
Peace in Liberty Township, many years ago. The
Squire in from the field where he was at work.
got down his books and papers, and got rea-
dy for the case during the progress of which Dun

what make of it, and stood it for while, but
suddenly shut up the books, excaiming: IF you
can't have lawsuit without gittin' into row, I'll
be id if you can'have any here!" He then delib-
erately walked out into field and went to work.
S. NJ Pollock told of Kentucky Squire before
whom fellow brought for stealing log-chain.
After hearing the testimony, and haying become Con-
vnced that the fellow stole the chain, he carefully
examined the statute, and discharged the prisoner!
He found laws against good many things, butt

At another time DUNCAN and Hoffman had case
between men, and of course the lawyers were on
opposite sides, when they concluded to have some
SPORT and persuaded their clients to fight it out,

far along they could not stop it. and the men were
actually about fight, when the Justice came along

Miss Emma Sutton, of Meadow Run,
Milton Township, gave birth to child'a
short time ago, which was afterward
found in sack, hidden in a piece of woods.
An investigation developed the fact that
the child had been suffocated, and the
testimony of witness, Mas. Scott, was
that she saw Mrs. Mollie Bracy, sister to
Miss Sutton, place the child under bed
tick and sit upon it. After she took it
out and placed it in corner of the room,
the. young mother saw it move, and re-
quested her sister to kill the darned
thing" which Mrs. Bracy did by putting
it under the tick again and sitting upon
it until it was dead. The women were
arrested and placed in Jail at this place.
1t is a horrible case, all the way through.
