The City Treasurer of Cleveland, o., Gets
Away with Half . Million.


CLEVELAND. o., Oct. s3-Nearly every
man, woman and child in Cleveland has
beard of City Treeusrer Thomas Axwor-
thy. and thousands of them are personally
acquainted with him. He is, perhaps, the
most popular Democratic politician in
Northern Ohio: so highly is he regarded
that he could have been nominated for
Congress this year if be had said the word.
In business circles he has cut a very big
figure and the statement is often made
that whatever he touches turns to gold.
He has real estate, ships that sail the
lakes. coal mines and iron ranges and
many other valuable investments. When
at home he is a prominent figure on the
street, and at every turn is greeted by old
and young, rich aud poor, Republicans
and Democrats. He has not been seen re-
Gently and the Office holders at the city
hall have not grasped his hand for many q
long day.
Yesterday morning bright and early the
one inquiry on the streets was where is
the city treasurer His business and Of
fetal associates declare that he is in New
York at the Windsor. A telegram of in
quiry was sent to that hotel and the
answer returned was that Mr.. Axworthy
had arrived there on September 90, in
the morning and had departed in the
evening for Montreal, Canada There all
trace of him was lost
Meanwhile his bondsmen began to inves.
tigate. They are United States Senator
H b. Payne and ]. H. Wade, Jr., and are
pledged fer $500 900. They, together with
leading CITY officials and attorneys, were
in consultation all last night and ad-
iourned early this morning. Each refuses
to say word. but all the details OF Mr..
Axworthy's absence will no doubt be
known to-day. The finance committee Of
the Council. which made an examination,
states that the loss to the city by reason Of
Mr.. A1worthy's disappearance is $500, 0cO.
Honest Tom" Axworthy, as he was
called, was the most popular man in
Northern Ohio. A Democrat in politics,
he was elected city treasurer of Cleveland
three or four terms when the Republicans
would carry the city by several thousand
majority. He was popular with men of
all political parties and in all conditions
OF life. The position of city treasurer vas
worth large sum of money to the incum-
bent each year. The salary was only 81 900
and Axworthy paid two assistants - 500 a
wear He leaned the city's money TO
the banks and drew large sums as in
terest Patrons of the turf all knew
him, and he was a member of the
Cleveland Driving Park Company, one of
the best organizations of the kind in the
country. He was often urged to run for
Congress from the Cleveland district, and,
although his election was certain, he al
ways declined. Socially he stood high,
being member of the United League
Club of Cleveland. of which Senator II B.
Payne is president. The news OF Ak
worthy's heavy defalcations and figh,
will be a surprise to many persons in this
city who knew him personally and by repu-
tation.

Log Cabin 0randmoshsrs.

An Indiana doctor has recently discovered
m q common weed whose medicinal qualities
have never before been suspected, . valu-
able remedy for bowel disorders.
There is nothing particularly strange
about this fact.
Nothing.
And yet the very simplicity of the new
discovery would, with some, seem to throw
Just doubt upon its power. To make it one
has only to pour hot water over the leaves
of the plant In its preparation no vast
chemical works and appliances are re-
quired.
Is it to be wondered at since such plainly
prepared remedies are accounted a. Of such
great merit in these days, that such
wonderful results attended our grand
mothers, whose teas and infusions of roots
and herbs and balsams, have exerted 80
great an influence in the maintenance of
health and life.
Certainly not!
The greatest pieces Of machinery strike
Us most by their exceeding simplicity.
The secret of the success Of grand
mothers remedies was their freshness and
simplicity. Every autumn found the little
Log Cabin abundantly supplied with fresh
leaves, roots, herbs and balsams, which
were carefully dried and prepared and laid
away for USE Dreadlng to call q doctor be-
cause of the expensiveuess Of his far-made
trips, they immediately gave attention to
the disease and routed 1t before it had
gained foothold.
The old Log Cabin grandmother, in cap
and high tucked gown, and perchance be-
spectacled in rough silver, her weary feet
encased in 'hum made" slips, Is the dear
sweet nurse who rises to the view of many
man and woman to-day as the early years
Of life pass in retrospect
The secrets of grsndmother's medicines
were rapidly being forgotten and the world
WAS not growing in the grace Of good
health. To restore the lost art Of log cabin
healing has been for years the desire Of a
wellmown philanthropist in whose ances-
trail line were eight 'goodly physicians" OF
the old style, men who never saw medical
college save in the woods, nor medical
diploma except that inscribed on the faces
of healthy and long lived patients. Much
time and money was expended in securing
the old formula, which to-day are put forth
as LOG Cabin emedies"-sarsaparilla hops
| and buchu, cough and consumption, and
several others, by Warner, whose name is
| famous and standard for medical excel
| lence all over the globe. These oldest, new
| est and best preparations have been recog
nized as of such superexcelleuce that To-Day
they can be found with all leading dealers.
When Col Ethan Allen was making his
! tory along our northern frontier during thu
revolution, Col Seth Warner, the fighting
Sheridan Of that army, who was skillfu
natural doctor, used many such remedies
notably like the Log Cabin extract, sarsa
pariIla and cough and consumption remedy
among the soldiers with famous success.
They are a noble inheritance which We o.
to-day may enjoy to the full, as did our fore
fathers, and using, reap, as did they, tn,
harvest of a life full of days and full Of use
| fitness.

BaltImnre.
R..riNoaE. Nd. Oct. 2S-Two weeks
ago. when the interest in the Whitechcpel
woman uur,!ers in London WIS at its
height, the Sun published series Of arti-
cies from the pen of writer signing HIM
self W alter A. McNulty, which produced
widespread comment for he ingenuity of
the analysis and the bright style. The
writer was stranger in Baltimore and
was stopping at Ba-num's Hotel, and an
eminent physician whose attention was
drawn to the articles in question invited
the writer to call upcn aim.
He did so and the doctor was charmed
by McNultF's fine conversational powers.
The following Monday McNulty went III
great haste to the doctors house and asked
him to identify him at some bank. as lie
had draft on Rand & McNallv, or Cr:ca-
60. for $50. which he desired &c hay,
cashed in time to catch the 1:i5 train for
Washington. The doctor drove him to the
Union National Bank, where he identified
McNulty and indorsed the draft Nc
Nulty got the money and the doctor III Uve
him to the union station, where the two
parted, McNulty profuse in his thanks.
The next day the doctor got to thinking.
and made some inquiries. At Barnum's
he found the literary sharper had left an
empty satchel and an unpaid board bill,
and last Thursday the bank notified him
that the draft was bogus. The matter
was put in the hands of the police, anil
they have received word from Pittsburgh
that McNulty is Orth Stein. the notorious
Kansas City newspaper man and muir
derer, who was arrested in that city and
sent to Jail for four months for forgery
and had left Pittsburgh Jail four weeks
ago. The letter said he was wanted in
San Francisco. From Cincinnati the po-
lice wrote that McNulty was Orth Stein,
alias John Armsted, and was a veil
known check worker.

PARIS, Oct 23-The Cabinet has ap-
proved the scheme OF u. Peytral, Minister
of Finance, TO impose a tax of one per
cent. upon incomes and of one-half per
cent. on labor returns. Incomes of less
than 1000 francs are to be exempt from
taxation. Resident foreigners are to be
liable for the whole of their incomes, and
temporary residents for the portion of
their incomes spent or collected in France.
The press generally opposes the scheme.

SHARON.

News is scarce this week we wish someone would get married or cut up some Dido, so we could have something to write about. The farmers are busy getting their corn ground ready to plant the women are busy cleaning house, and it is good thing for the men that they have plenty to do now, for we hardly ever see woman good natured in house-cleaning time The trees arc coming out nicely and the grass looks fine. O. Fl. Marvin has new bicycle, and it is nip and tuck to see which is on top |. /. The Sharon Water Go. have got pipes laid from the reservoir down to Geo. H. Doty's. They have now gone down in the village to lay the pipe up to Doty's. Mir Leonard, of Norwalk, has SO far recovered from his illness as to be able to appear among us again |. Alden Bryan is slowly failing =. .E. F. Gillette has had 8 carload of potatoes at Sharon Station, of over 500 bushels. He sold them for S1.25 per bushel, delivered. :.

FREE ADVERTISING.

We clip the following from the Winsted Herald of last week:
 "The Canaan News serves notice upon the public that henceforth it will not allow itself to be ridden to death by free advertisers. The News has evil dently been unduly imposed upon, judging from its rehearsal of the subject and while 1t will probably continue on its free list notices of prayer-meetings sewing societies, Chautauqua circles, ministerial conferences and non-specu- lative picnics, when it comes to excur- sions, out of which somebody $ to make money, it draws the line right there and says no moro free advertising
 Of course the general public is not generally aware of the fact that 1t costs money to run even local newspaper, else there wouldn't be so much asking for gratuitous favors. The man who sends for plumber to do two hours work expects to pay for at least two hours service. The newspaper compost tor IS usually 8 man who gets his living from the money he earns, and the pro prietor of the office in which he works is bound to sec to 1t that when money is due him he can have it by asking for it. Our neighbor Beckley perhaps thinks that type-setters are as worthy of pay as plumbers, carpenters, painters or blacksmith.
 We advise our disturbed Canaan cotemporary to become member of the Conn. Weekly Press Association, whose next regular meeting will be held in Hartford May 21. The ques- tion of advertising" will be up for discussion at that time, and he may get some points on the subject which will prove the day to have been we'll spent. "
