Exchange, and one was so badly pun.

obliged to wear dark goggles for some

them are very skilful with the gloves.
Howell Osborn, the son Of the late

for years jay Gould's broker,
and who died worth seven
millions Of dollars, is one of the best
boxers Oh the Stock Exchange, and
now that he is to retire with an income
of sl00, 900 year granted to him by
his mother on condition that he leave
Wall street, he may have more time to
perfect himself in his fsvorite science,

OBITUARY.

P0wKLL.-At his residence on his farm
near Napoleon, on the 9th day Of July, 1886,
Of Uraemia, John Powell, aged 70 years,
months and 10 days.
The three score years and ten allotted by
the psalmist to human life have run their
course, the summons has come, the pioneer
has taken 'his chamber in the silent halls Of
death, " and John Powell lies asleep with his
fathers.
The life Of John Powell Is the history of
Henry county and especially of the town of
Napoleon. He was born in Oneida county,
N. Y, on the 14th day of Dec, 1906; was
married to Esther MagiIl, in Erie county,
Ohio, January 8, 1881, and located in Henry
county in June, 1886. The same year he was
elected township clerk; in 1887 Auditor of the
county, and subsequently to the Offices of
sheriff and Justice of the peace. In 1910 he
was appointed associate Judge of Henry
county; in 1868 he was elected county COM
missioner and has filed that Office for several
terms since that time.
During the 81 years that Judge Powell has
lived in Napoleon he has seen all the ups and
downs Of pioneer life. When he first came
here there was no canal, no rail or other
roads-nothing but trails and horse paths; all
travel was on horse back or by OF teams, and
that slowly and with difficulty, requiring
courage, fortitude and determination pos
sessed by fewof the present generation. At
that time Napoleon consisted of one house, a
log cabin, owned by Mr.. Andrews, and the
deceased was among the first to put up
building on the site of the present town, be-
ing compelled to use blankets for doors and
windows. Indians then composed the chief
population and from the forests rifle harvest
ed the winters provisions.
What panorama the pioneers vision must
present! Sitting by his well finished and
furnished farm house; surrounded by his
family of men and women-educated, re-
spected, learned and skilled in their various
pursuits of life, grand children crowded
around the knee, his stories sound like fables
of Eastern land; and as he tells of early hard
ships and deprivations, the wonderful growth
and great transformation, Aladdin's lamp
seems to have been his.
John Powell has lived manly and useful
life. Faithful to every trust, he ever enjoyed
the full confidence and respect of his fellow
man. He was true to his convictions, and
his devotion to them led him into many con-
troversies, but his sincerity always COM
manded respect and disarmed malice, and it
may truly be said that he died without an
enemy, an honest man, respected by the en-
tire community, and "after life's fitfui fever
he sleeps we'll"
Sad mortali couldst thou but know
Whattruly 1t means TO die,
The wings Of thy soul would glow,
And the hopes of thy heart beat high;
Thou wouldst turn from the Pyrhonist schools
And laugh their jargon to scorn,
As the babble Of midnight fools
Ere the morning Of Truth be born:
from heaven Of heavens above
God speaketh with bateless breath
My angel Of perfect love
Is the angel men call Death!

n.
DTEHL.--At her home in Napoleon, Aug. 4,
1886, Laura, wife of Mr.. Lewis q. Diehl, aged
So years, 8 months and 20 days. Funeral servi-
ces were conducted at the M. E. Church
Friday at 10 A. NJ, Rev. j. @. Clemens pre-
siding. Text: Colosians LIST chapter and 18th
verse.
Laura Peyton was united in marriage to
Mr.. Lewis Diehl Oct. 7th, 1883, less than three
years was their union blessed when death re-
moved the beloved and loving companion.
Mrs. D. has been constant suffer since early
in the spring, and the last two months has
been confined to her bed, uncomplainingly
bearing her Affections and meeting death
calmly and fearlessly, trusting in Him who
doeth all things well. Life to her was sweet
and full of promise. Scarcely three years OF
happy welded life had passed, when q
separation came. Laura was happy in her
home, possessing the fullest confidence and
trust of loving husband, ministering to the
wants of Mr.. DIS. motherless children when
under her care, supplying the place of mother,
friend and counsellor to the orphaned Lille.
teaching her to be useful, good and noble.
Her loss will be painfully felt.
| Mrs. d. was practical christian and a true
woman-truer friend never lived-havine
known and enjoyed her friendship for years,
the writer can speak positively of the esteem
able worth and sterling qualities that pos
sessed her large, loving, sympathetic heart.
She was always favorite among the aged,
reverently respecting the gray-haired father
or mother, thus endearing herself to many
honest and true hearts. With the children
also she was ageneral favorite, teaching them
by precept and example to be good and true.
Kind words and noble deeds, prompted by
the love of doing good made up her useful
and self-sacrifcing life. We could relate
some instances personally known to the
writer, manifesting her benevolence and in
ate goodness of heart, little deeds of kind
ness that will ever be remembered with graft
tude by those surviving her, and kept in re-
memberance by Him who notes even the fall
of sparrow. Dear Laura, gone to her re-
ward, language fails to express the tender re-
gard we have ever feltfor her, whose love and
friendship has been ever the same to us in
prosperity and in adversely sickness and
health, rejoicing or weeping, always and ever
the same tried faithful friend. We sym
pathize with the husband and children in
their irraparabla and r1nsneakabla loss To
know her was to love her. Her life when in
health was active and useful as a christian,
"a Sabbath school teacher ard an earnest
whole-souled christian. As her health de-
clined her faith and trust in God grew strong
er, often telling of Gods goodness to her and
expressing her unworthyness; but thanks be
to God who hath made her meet to be par
taker Of the inheritance Of the saints in light.

(Ben Ton in ths oOlnnnbia yurist.l !.

(Ben Ton in the Columbia Jurist.)
In China capital punishment often de-
pends upon the whim of the officer of
the law. Here is an instance: Pen ia
Hen, the Rear Admiral of the Yangtze
district, was passing up that district and
chanoGd to overhear q quarrel between a
boatman and soldier over the matter of
two cash--the price of ferriage across a
small stream. The Admiral took in the
situation. The soldier had been ferried
over the stream, and then refused to pay
the poor ferryman. There was princi-
pie involved. A large number of sol
dlers were looking on and apparently
| enjoying the ferryman's rage at the loss
of his wages. An example was needed,
and the "Great Man, p" as his name signi-
ties, who was incognito, being on tour
| OF personal inspection, ordered the sol
dler beheaded, which was done on the
spot. rs
Willful murder, piracy and confirmed
thlevestall under the headsman's 8 axe. In
fanticide, however, is not included as
murder. The parent, by Chinese law,
has the right of life over his own child;
hence the practice of female infanticide
Adultery falls under the life penalty at
the will of the aggrieved party. Thus,
husband detecting his wife in adultery
capital punishment of one or both par
ties to the crime, or he may take the
lives of the offenders himself and not be
amenable if he can prove the fact. IF,
however, he fails to substantiate the
crime alleged, he is held guilty of muir
der and punished accordingly.
Capital punishment can be met by
proxy and the law be satisfied. 1t is not
uncommon, therefore, when man of
money is sentenced to death, that he can,
by the use of money, secure stay Of
proceedings long enough to obtain a
substitute This is done by making an
offer of one, two or more hundred
'taels' ounces of silver, about 1884
cents, our standard) for substitute.
Some impecunious family, often having
200 or 300 male members, as the patri-
archal plan of domestic economy pre-
walls, will agree among themselves that
they will furnish substitute for the
prohcrcd sum. Lot is then cast to de- ,
tcrminc the victim, and the doomed man
accepts his fate with stoical indifference
upon tho ultra predestination theory that
his time has come, else the lot would not
have fallen to him individually. He ac-
cordlnGly presents himself to the court,
and the convicted man dies by proxy,
While the family OF the deceased enjoy
the proceeds OF the arrangement.
