April 7, 1887, forty-seven men,
under command ofGen. Rufus Put
man, landed on the eastern bank of
the Muskingum rivernear it's juno
ton with the Ohio. They laid out
the town of Marietta, the first Amer
lean settlement in the territory of
the United States northwest of the
river Ohio. 1t is proposed to cele-
brate this event, by holding appro-
pirate memorial exercises in the
public schools of Ohio, April 7,
1888. That the children may be
prepared to understand the signifi-
canoe ofsuch a celebration, the Ohio
Historical Society will prepare. a
brief history of Ohio, and will urge
the study of Western history in the
schools for the next two years. AL
ready the teachers r evidencing
much interest in this commenda-
bic movement. We know of no
effort on the part of educators OF
more beneficial Importance than
this, and one that will arouse great,
er interest in Ohio's Centennial Elk
position. Full information regard,
ing these matters may be had by
addressing the Secretary ofthe Elk
position Board, Mr.. a. y. Graham
| at Columbus.

The Springfield Globe-Republie
Republican says of Mr.. Johnson,
the Democratic nominee for Circuit
Judge in this district: *
Pursuant to general belief, JAS.
Johnson, Jr., one of the brightest
members of the Clark county bar,
and an active young kid Democrat
of this city, was yesterday nomi-
mated Democratic candidate for the
Circuit judge-ship of this judicial
district. The be-RepublSc con-
graduates the young man on his
nomination and will do its best to
help slaughter him artistically al
the polls. AS a matter of fact, Of
course, Mr.. Johnson hasn't the
slightest apparition of a chance in
the race, but this paper likes to see
Clark county material come for
ward. Mr.. Johnson is the law part
ner of Hon. T. J. Pringle, and
brilliant young barrister. But HI
is unfortunately training with thu
wrong crowd.

The Republicans have had con-
troll of the Ohio penitentiary only
a few months, but have had enough
time to render that institution in a
condition thatis a disgrace to civil
cation and humanity. The cells have
become alive with bed bugs and YER
min, and are unfit for the worst cri-
minal in the world to occupy. This
is another specimen of Republican
reform in Ohio.

Hancock Courier: "The happy

The question that puzzles us
about the Payne matter is, why
some democrats fought an investi-
Cation so desperately while claim
ing his election was on the square
Would not an investigation of the
charges of corruption in his cleo,
ton, if unfounded, been just the
thing for the democrats? That is
the way it appears to US, but then
we may be mistakenin our opinion.

A Terrible Judgment.
A Man Transformed To Stbne for
Blaspheming.
Lima Times.

There is a remarkable story which
is told by the inhabitants of the
southwestern part of the county. 1t
seems incredible, as it is most shock
ing in the details, but there are per-
sons who have seen it, and swear
by all that is great and good that
the story is true.
The story was told to an Eceaihg
Times reporter, and is about as fol
lows:
There has been an unprecedent-
ed drouth in the northeastern part
of Mercer county and the crops have
suffered very greatly in conse-
quence. A farmer by the name OF
Sylvester Roadway, owner of several
hundred acres of fine farming land
in that county, was out in the har'
vest field working with a number Of
men, and they were talking about
the damage which the drouth was
doing, when the owner OF the field
who was noted far and wide for his
ability to arrange the English Ian
guage into the most terrible oaths
began cursing and swearing in {
most shocking manner. Suddenly
as the story goes, he fell backward
and when his companions rushed
to his aid they were driven back by
a most intense heat which arose
from the body, and were Mortified
to observe that he had been turned
to stone. The heat continues t.
come from the pillar of stone, ant
is SO strong that no one has beel
able to approach within twenty-fiv
feet of it.
The story, strange as it may seen,
is not quite impossible. So SINGER
are the persons, many of whom
claim to have visited the place an
seen the petriied body, that the,
offer to pay for the time and eS
pense of any person who will visi
the place and not find things a
they represent them in every pal
ticular.

Just how there happens to be a
net gain to the treasury of twenty
seven million Of dollars during
Cleveland's first fiscal year is illus
trated by the statistics of the New
York custom house. The cost of
collection of custom duties at that
port for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1886, shows a saving of nearly
100000 as compared with the
last preceding fiscal year, while the
receipts for Collector Hedden's first
year are 5,946, 7O1.71 greater than
those during Collector Robertson's
last year. The total revenues for
the fiscal year ending with June,
1885, were $136,212,21S.15, while
those for the fiscal year ending
with June, 1886, rose to $142, 1885,
919.S6. Still better results are look
ed for under the operations of the
reorganization of the custom house
force that is now in progress.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1886-08-05

There is a proposition for the
Democratic state convention to en-
dorse the action of the United
States Senate in the Payne matter
as a complete refutation of all
charges of fraud and corruption in
the election ofMr. Payne" The cor.
rect thing for the state convention
to do with the Payne business is
now to let it rest where it is.

Judge S. L. Yoder, O. Allen coun-
ty, got denomination in the Fourth
District for Congress, over "bood-
Ter" Anderson. The district has
five or six thousand majority and
of course Judge Yoder will be elect
ed. He is the present Probate
Judge of Allen county, a man of
unimpeachable character and a
sound democrat who would scorn
to sell his official influence for
"boodle."

DAYTON Democrat: The Demo

Dayton Democrat: The Demo-
Gratis of New New Jersey seem to
have a fair show for success this
year. The Republicans are wearing
themselves out jumping into and
out of the Prohibition pasture lot.
The new Jersey Republicans ought
to come to their brethren in Ohio
and learn how to sit on the fence
in the shade and firt with the Pro
hibitionists and saloon people.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1886-08-05

A new extradition treaty has just
been effected between the United
States and England, and the list OF
extraditable offenses has been in
creased by the addition of four
crimes, viz: Manslaughter, burg
larry, embezzlement or larceny in
volving the amount of $50 or e1O,
and malicious injuries to property,
whereby the life of any person shall
be endangered, if such properties
constitute a crime, according to the
laws of both countries. The last
stipulation applies to acts of VIC
lence done by dynamiters and is
justly included in the list. Minis
ter Phelps, in his letter to Secretary
Bayard, says, in reference to politi-
cal offcnses, that "the provision
that no surrender shall be made fol
a political oiiense is unnecessary
because such is already the estab-
lished and universal rule to which
all extradition treaties are subject,
But its insertion can do no harm
and the omission might excite com
ment." 1t was a wise thing to in
clude the latter and thereby close
up all unfavorable comment.

The Pittsburg Telegraph says
"It is said that Nellie Grant Sartor-
is has decided to leave her husband
and return to her mother. If half
the stories of the treatment she re-
ceives are true, she ought to have
done that long ago." It is current
ly reported that her husband does
not provide for her and that his
family show her no attention what
eyer.
