A Probable Breeze.

About two years ago the city was
kept in state of excitement for some
little time by attempted outrages late
in the night on servant girls in nearly
every instance white ones. Finally an
attempt was made on the wife Of one
of our most prominent citizens, he be-
ing away from home, in Europe, at the
time. The negro made violent at
tempt and there being some light in
the room, the lady in her scuflle with
him, caught so good a sight of his
face. as to feel assured she would
know him again. Several negroes
were arrested on suspicion, but all
were released. Finally negro, who
answered the description so well, that
he was arrested in Wayahachie, he
being stranger there too, and was
Jailed. Sheriff Smith went after him
with two deputies in a hack and on
his return to Dallas, with him. he was
overpowcrcd, few miles from the
CITY. by a disguised and armed crowd
and the negro taken from him. He
was brought on to near the end of the
bridge across the river, and it being
then some hours in the night, he was
taken out to one side of the road and
hung. despite the protests and efforts
of Sheriff Smith and his deputies. 1t
seems that a good many, if not all the
crowd engaged in the lynching, have
since been found out and now, from
whispers and little conversations
picked up, it is not at all unlikely that
breeze is going to be stirred up, and
an effort made TO have all parties en-
gagged indicted for murder. If this is
done, there will be breeze raised
indeed. 1t is said, proof ample of
Identification, of nearly, if not all the
lynchers will be furnished the grand
Jury. if the prosecution be attempted.

Iron Shortage In Bridges.

The following, taken from the Iron Trade
Review, may not have any application in
Henry county, but it is well to know that
such thing, as herein narrated, has been
done and may be done again: -.
ga county engineer in Northwestern Ohio,
of an enquiring frame of mind, was recently
commissioned to inspect new iron bridge
prior to the County Commissioners paying
the bill. The results of his Investigations, If
reliable. are quite interesting and mportant
as showing how some bridge builders, if so
disl Jsed, can double their apparent profits
by judicious distribution of a shortage in
the iron. According to the report of the
engineer, the amount of deficiency in. weight
of iron in the bridge III question is pretty
closely enc third, or 33116 per cent. He finds
that the shortage has been very skillfully dis
tributed over the whole structure. Approx
mately, the weight of the bridge is 464,0CC
pounds, or 232 tons. A shortage of one-third
would save the building company about "
tons of iron, or $4,000 pounds. Computing
the value of this at the low figure of two
cents pound the extra profit of the builders
would be over $4,000. This is a serious
arraignment of the honesty of the builders
contrary if it is incorrect. The question is
not, whether the bridge as turned over to the
County Commissioners is safe, but whether
the people are getting what they are paying

.sB" poor every day workingman, named
William Dorsey. employed in the Cleveland
rolling mills, was the Democratic candidate
for Congress in the late campaign in the
Twentieth District, He is not only hard
W workingman, but an intelligent and popular
gen tleman, and in district which usually
gives over three thousand Republican ma
jority he was barely defeated. But he COM
mitted grievous error when he, poor
man, aspired to the republic, and his doom
has been sealed. On Thursday he was dis
charged from his situation and told to drift
through the cold winter as best he could
Such is Republican intolerance. In too
m any instances they endeavor to cajole and
hoodwi nix the workingman during campaigns
and throw him to the dogs after election.
They have no use for the workingman who
will not blindly follow the dictates of the
lordly Republican master. And this is
called free countryl Great indignation
undo ubtedly will be expressed over this
Dorsey outrage and many resolves will be
made to avenge the matter at the polls If
| the ncensed laborers will only remember
how cold and cruel is this act of dismissal
and put the blame where it belongs, and vote
against such intolerance they will be more
respected by their employers and exercise
greater power in this country.

Addressing body of business men at
Bridgeportthe other day, P. T. 'Barnum said:
't,'You do not, any of you, advertise enough.
You ought to use printers ink every day.
You are asleep and want your business to run
itself. Standing advertisements in a paper
command confidence. The man who for a
year lives in one community and leads re-
putable life, even though he be of moderate
ability, will grow in the confidence and
esteem of his fellows. On the same prin-
ciple n newspaper advertisement becomes
familiar in the eyes of the reader. 1t may
seldom be read, still it maks the name and
business of the man familiar and its presence
in the columns of paper inspires conf dence
in the stability of its enterprise"

The Dow Law cons,I, utional.


The Supreme Court on Thursday last de-
clared the Dow Law constitutional by strict
party decisiOn-three TO two. The result was
surprise to no one. unless IL was the saloon
keepers themselves, many Of whom thought
the Republican court would rule in their
favor, and with this view in mind many of
them throughout the State voted the Repub-
lican ticket last fall The tax will now have
- be paid, together with the 20 per cent.
penalty, as the law directs.
That the law is unconstitutional large
majority of the bar admit, and the opinion
of many people is that the measure is in
direct contraventiOn of the constitution of
the State, especially so the lien clause. That
our readers may have more comprehensive
idea of the law, which the highest tribunal of
the State has just declared to be constitu-
tional, we append the following synopsis of
the celebrated Dow Law: r-...
Section l. The year runs from the fourth
Monday of May to the next fourth Monday
of May, both exclusive. Tax $500; but if
only malt or vinous liquors, or both, are
sold, tax only 800.
Section 2. Tax operates as lien on realty
in which saloon is conducted; and such lien
payable at regular tax dates. Tax must be
paid 2Oth December and 20th June.
l Section 3. II business only runs for part
of year tax proportionate to that period; lien
the same.
Section 4. Relates to process of collection.
Distress law operates, taking precedence of
all other liens, whether of record or not,
given subsequent to passage of law.
Section 8. As to duty of Assessors.
Section 6. Duty of County Auditor in
making duplicates.
Section7. Duty of Treasurer.
Section 8. Is here given in full: "The
phrase, 'trafficking In Intoxicating LIQUORS.
AS used in this act, means the buying or pro-
curing and selling of intoxicating liquors
otherwise than upon prescriptions issued in
good faith by reputable physicians in active
practice, or for exclusively known mechani-
cal, pharmaceutical or sacramental purpose,
but such phrase does not include the manu-
featuring of intoxicating liquors from the
raw material, and the sale thereof by the
manufacturer of the same in quantities of
one gallon or more at any one time"
Section 8, Relates to distribution of the
product. Three-fourths to go into County
Treasury, one-haif of that three-fourths to
be for ganeral revenue, the other half for
Police Fund. Where there are no police, all
of the three -fourths to go to general revenue.
Remaining one-fourth goes to Infrmary or
Poor Fund; but in Cincinnati half of that
fourth goes to City Infrmary and the other
half to County Infrmary. ..
Section TO- Publication of act.
Section IL. Forbidding all sales on Sun
day, unless specifically authorized by Com
mon Council of the town or village.
Section 15. Selling liquor to minors with

After the Bogus Maple Syrup Dealers.

Ii The State Food and Dairy Commission has
commenced fight against the bogus maple
syrup dealers that will command the hearty
support of every farmer in the State who
owns sugar bush. For years it has been
the practice of certain wholesale dealers to
buy up hundreds of pounds of maple sugar
and hold it until the following year, when it
was melted up adulterated with glucose and
sold as new maple sugar. The penalty for
such an offense under the new laws of the
State is not less than $500 fine for manu-
tfacturers nor less than $50 fine for dealers.
An earnest effort will be made to convict
every person guilty of such offense, and
dealers are warned that infractions of this
law will result in the infiction of the extreme
penalty. i. ....'.

~ The Min neapolis Journal gives ac-
count Of the famous Jones county calf case
which has Just been disposed of by the
Supreme Court of Iowa.. This is one of the
most remarkable cases on the records of
American courts, and furnishes a striking
illustration of what an expensive luxury o
little satisfaction obtained in legal form
may prove to be. Twelve years ago Green
county farmer went to Jones county and
bought some calves of a man named john
son. They were probably stolen, but john
son claimed to have bought them from a
third party. johnson was prosecuted by the
Anti-Ho Thief association, but was ac-
quilted. He sued for $4,000 damages and
the case has. been tried five tln,es,. and each
time except one he has received verdict for
from $4,000 to $500. which was always set
aside. He appealed to the Supreme Court
ana the verdict has been reversed giving
him no damages. The court costs are now
$780,, while the other expenses on both
sides amount to at least $4,000, and'several
persons hsye been ruined by the expenses of
the case. The value of the calves was $50.

t A dispatch from Findlay says the citi-
zens of that place are highly elated over the
success of their city gas plant, which has
just begun operations, Although the mains
have just been completed, there are already
upwards of two hundred connections, and the
supply is being furnished from three wells.
The rates published by the City Gas Trustees
are eminently satisfactory to the. people.
Cook stoves are charged at the rate of Sc per
year, first heater $3.50, second heater $3.50,
third heater and over $2.l0. Lights are
charged at the same rate of 10c per month
for two. Churches, halls and business rooms
are equally low, while the rate charged manu-
facturers is almost insignificant. These are
the lowest prices charged for fuel in any
town in the world, and this is the basis of
Findlays great boom. Nearly every family
in the city is now using gas for fuel, even
those in the remote new additions. 1t is said
that the old gas company will also reduce Its
rates to con sumers. The City Gas Truste es
are putting down another gas well, and from
