elusively shown that the stock Bender
brought In had been stolen from some

KILLED ny A TRAIS.-About six
O'Clock last Saturday morning the hor-
ribly mutilated body Of an unknown
man was found strewn along the rail-
road track at Bluejacket water tank,
having been run over by a passing
train during the night. Deceased was
young man, apparently about twen-
ty years Of age and was dressed as a
laborer. He had no doubt been wait
ing at the tank TO get on some train
and perhaps fell asleep by the track,
Nothing could be found on the body to
identify 1t and IL was buried beside the
track where the tragedy WAS enacted
This calls to mind the finding Of q
body in the pond at the same place
about three years ago. This was
thought TO have been q man who was
murdered and thrown in the pond but
the matter is still shrouded in mystery
As the body could not bs identified 4
was buried there also.

Trustee Lloyd is Republican, a Grip.
pled soldier and ex commander of the
Grand Army of the Republic of Ohio.
The board was Republican, and there.
fore no change of political control
could result from Major LlOyd's reno

The Governor wanted to put some Of
his henChmen into the home Of the same
sort AS his man Hlines, who steered the
inmates Of the blind asylum into houses
Of i'll fame, and his miniOn of the deaf

Gil up the home with creatures Of this
sort, and demanded the dismissal of
every hired man, clerk, domestic SER

the home who had any Democratic affil

having the interests of these wards Of
the State at heart, refused to go into
the scheme. Although a Republican,
he refused to t1rn the institution over

A Photographer Tells How These Happy
Mortals Have Their Pictures Talen.
Tell you something about bridal
couples who get their pictr"e0 takenl
Well, they are the hardest people TO pho
tograph that come here We always take
them on wet plate and it takes twenty
five seconds fully to get any thing like
satisfactory results. You see, they
are mostly always nervous. The groom
is especially so, and, while we can
take a baby's picture in six seconds,
it takes four times as long to pho
tograph an ordinary bridal couple. It's
rather funny, but the trouble is all on ac-
count of the man, that is to say, it is so in
the great majority of cases. He gets
ratified, you know, but the woman, the
bride ought to say, why, she is as cool as
can be. No trouble at all with the brides.
Sometimes they come here on their way to
church, sometimes on their way home after
leaving church; then, again, it often hap
pens they come four or five weeks after
their marriage to get their pictures The
bride, she takes her white dress with her,
you know, and we have a lady attendant
here to fix her up. That part Of it doesn't
take great while"
GLOW do they usually want to be taken~
"Well, the new style is standing up, that
is liked better, the groom standing on the
right side, the BRIDES right hand in his
right hand. The old way, in which the
groom was seated while the bride had her
hand on his shoulder, is going out Of
fashion, or rather it is already out Of
fashion Every body got to guying those
pictures, you know, there was always
funny look on the groom's face, just as if
he felt he'd been taken in. And his new
clothes never looked well; but standing up
there is always chance to have the
clothes hang properly, and so the rev style
is to have the pictures taken st"" ding."--

world will frown, and the devils Wal aes
after your soul, and you will want mora
then than this world can give you; you
will want the Eternal Rock to stand on. For
the lack of that grace you have known men
to forge, and to maltreat their friends, and
to curse their enemies, and you have seen
their names bulletined among scoundrels,
and spit upon, and blistered by scorn, and
ground to powder. They not only lost their
property, but their souls were mauled, and
purified, and blasted for eternity. You
could count up scores Of such personsi
while there are others who, tossed on the

Men coming out of that mans store say:
''If there ever was Christian trader, that is
one" Stern integrity kept the books and
waited ON the customers. Light from the
future world flashed through the show
windows. Wrath never stamped that
floor, nor did sly dishonor cover up imper~
fections in goods. Love to God and love to
men were the principles that ruled in the
store of that Christian trader. Some day
the shutters are not let down from the
store window and the bars are not taken
from the door; men pass along, and stop,
and stare, and go up to read card on the
door which announces: "Closed on account
of the death of one of the firm" That death
it is talked iE commercial circles that
a good man has gone. Boards Of trade
pass resolutions Of sympathy, and churches
Of Christ pray; "Help, Lord, for the Cody
man ceaseth." He has made his last bar
gain; he has suffered his last loss; he has
ached with his last fatigue; the result Of
his Christian industry will bless his chill
dren after he is dead, and bequests to the
Kingdom of God will gather many sons
into glory. Everlasting rewards in place
of business disciplined There ''the wicked
cease from troubling and the weary are at
