Bohemian OafS.

Following is a copy of Mr.. Little's House
bill to break up the Bohemian oats swindle,
so extensively practiced in this State:

ty thereon, to any bond, bill, receipt, promis-
sorry note, draft, check, or any other evidence

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has bought the greater part of the right
of way from Red Bank to Hamilton and
contracts have been made out for mater.
ial. 1t is said that Hamilton will have
two roads into Cincinnati within a year.
The next moveof the Pennsylvania Com.
pany willbe to buy the Richmond Branch
of the G. H. & D. Road, which will be
sold at a reasonable price to prevent the
building of a parallel line. This will
give the Pennsylvania Company a direct
route to Chicago. ar
The above appeared last week in
the Times-Star, but we hear from
reliable railroad people that the
reasonable price" has been agreed
upon, and the Eaton & Hamilton
division of the C. Fl. & D.. will in
a short time pass into the Pan Han
die system, and also will drop the
short line into the Pan Handle, to
the north pole. Marble, Myth &
Co. will take the direct route to a
landing south. Time fixes all
things right.

A sianderer Cowhided.

We clip the following from Sundays Gin
cinnati Enquirer. The heroine of the Incl
dent mentioned is well known in Eaton, hav-
ing been born and reared almost to woman
hood in our city. There is no doubt the pun
ishment was just and we'll meritedr:
ANITA, Iowa, February 20.-Miss Grace
Hendricks, a relative of the late Vice-Presi-
dent, publicly cowhided III. l.. Brown, a lead
ing member of the Congregational Church, on
the street here yesterday: The cause of the
young woman's indignation seems to have
been an alleged SANDER against her character,
said to have been promulgated by Brown
Most of the townspeople sympathize with Miss
Hendricks, who has borne a spotless reputa-
ton. The exact nature of the calumny against
her attributed to Brown Goes not appear, but
seems to have coupled her name with that of
a young man about town. Brown, after re-
ceiving a sharp cut across the face with the
cowhide, beat a hasty retreat. The girl fol-
lowed, striking him repeatedly over the head
and shoulders. The affair created a great
sensation.

Nj viz
early Spring. and we hope our enterprise
ing citizens will get ready to receive their
full share of the predicted prosperity
Don't sit down and with doleful counte-
nance in wailing tones, complain of ''dull
times!" Get up and be doingi There
is wealth enough in our town to give it a
business boom and add greatly to. the
general prosperity, but CAPITAL must as
sist enterprise, not retard it by Shylock
practices. You who have money, if you
want to make times better for everybody
and more money for yourselves, must
unlock your Golfers to the bone and sinew
and enterprise of the town-to the mer-
chants and business men who are striv-
ing to add to their own fortunes, and in
so doing, increase the wealth of commu-
nifty generally. Don't put your money
in some vault and refuse to loan it with
out exhorbitant interest and excessive
security. If you are determined to sit
down and let your neighbors' enterprise
make you rich, don't retard the industry
and enterprise which is willing to add to
your Golfers if you will only permit it to
be done, by not acting the pork as far as
in your power lies, or predicting disaster
to every enterprise attempted to be start
ed. Some of you have lots of money /;
better put it out to build up the business
OF the town and erect enduring monu-
mentst to your memory after you are dead
than hoard it during life and have your
neighbors say when they gather around
your grave, here lies a mighty darn'd
mean man, who might have done a great
deal for Eaton but he was too miserly
and stfngy.
