1t is said that a flood of counterfeit
dollars and halves are being dumped in
to the cities of Ohio-dangerous counter
feits. The die at first glance is perfect,
but the milling is bad in two places. The
coin, when thrown upon the counter, has
the ring of silver and the color. 1t is
somewhat lighter, however, and when
placed in the hand with another dollar
the difference in weight is at once appa-
rent. Look out for them, as it will only
be a question of a very short time until
they appear in Eaton, if they have not
already.

There is being introduced into many
of the public schools of the State a sys-
tenn of fire drill. By mean of it, after a
little practice, an entire building can be
vacated of pupils in a very few minutes.
The pupils are kept in ignorance as to
the time when the drill will take place,
and when the alarm sounds they obey it,
not knowing whether it means impend-
ing danger or simply practice. Too much
precaution can not be taken in case of
in schools, and this is most certainly |
a practical idea. 1t would be well for
our schools to adopt this drill, as it might
be the saving of several lives if our
school building should happen to catch
fire. At any rate no harm could result
it.

many different places in the State as he
Collector Kumler says of this
1.-THE conclusion of the whole mat
er is that, if the opinion of the Attorney
General is correct, and I firmly believe
/ is, the counties in which the cities,
owns and villages are located which by
vote have abolished the sale ofliquors

he Dow law tax because the retail, a
will stop selling and demand OF Q

Did in quantities of one gallon or more t
lstead of at retail by the glass, as was o
one before the law was enacted" =
