~ The initial (June) number of Belford's s
Magazine opens with an article on "Protec-
tion. the Enemy of Wages" by Thomas G.
Shearman. J. s. Moore tells what he knows
"About WOOL" and his knowledge is by no
means limited. Henry George gives an ad-
dress, full of commonsense and Free Trade,
ITO Workingmen." The first half of an
article by Frank Fl. Hurd on "Tariff Reform"
submits some pertinent questions to the tax
payer and citizen for answer; and "Free-
trade and Congress" is vigorously handled in
an editorial by Dom Piatt. The Magazine,
however, is by no means devoted to heavy,
although timely, reading. Elizabeth W.
Eellamy has a novel of over one hundred
pages, entitled ''Old Man Gilberss," !" to which
Mrs. Augusta Evans Wilson writes an intro
duction. Julian Hawthorne has written of
american Magazines and Authors" with
which he is we'll acquainted. A bright little
story of an Enchanted Treasure" is told by
Edward R. Shaw; and ''The Value of Slid
ing-seat in Rowing is demonstrated by F.
T. Jones. Edgar Saltus, Ella Wheeler Will
cox, Arthur W. Gundry, Coates Kinney, and
Starr Hoyt Nichols all contribute poetry Of
an interesting kind. Minor Editorials, Book
Reviews, and Literary and Dramatic Notes
complete the Magazine. Delford's argues
well for the future if the articles and stories
continue to be as varied and timely as they
are in the first issue. There is undoubtedly
room for such Magazine

FLomDA, June 11th.-Quite a number of
our citizens are taking in the excursion on
the Wabash to Presque Isle Park =. The corn
in this community is looking well and the
stand is good and growing fine, notwithstand-
ing the dry weather, and farmers are Ill busy
tending it.. The hay crop is going to be
short from appearances will not yield half
a crop, and the oats crop will be short unless
we get rain soon. Our village is still i'm
proving by way of new buildings-Joseph
E. Stout is putting up very nice clubhouse
and wood house, John H. Barr is also making
extensive improvements in his dwelling by
putting top story on his kitchen and also
attached large wash and wood house to
the main dwelling; J. W. King is also max
ing many improvements on his premises by
the erection of new horse barn, chicken
house and raised one part of his dwelling
higher, and attached a wash and work house
and top ground cellar and other buildings
which adds much to the appearance, of his
premises; and A. J. Scoffield has at last got
tired of patching up the old fence around his
pEOulcCby Us uC COuAu uI0 any LAOLC pAdGCo
to drive nails and make the old fence stand
up, SO he concluded at last to have new
fence put up, which is now completed and
adds much to the appearance of his proper
ty. Several accidents occurred in our vii
lage the past week: Charley the little son of
Martha King was in the mill yard of j. Il.
Barr playing with other boys around saw
log, and by some means got the saw log
started to roll and catching the boy rolled
on him up to his breast and shoulders, injur-
ing him so that he has since been lying in a
critical condition, and up to this writing not
much hope of his recovery; also, Geo. Bru-
baker while moving some saw logs in the same
yard, was caught by log, spraining his an
kle and bruising his knee badly; Miss Girty
King, sister of the boy thar was SO badly
hurt, has been sick over three months, and
her condition is critical; quite an accident
occurred at or near Okolona to young man,
alittle top heavy, trying to jump on apassen-
ger train while in motion. He got badly up
set, striking his head on the cross ties aud
stones, fracturing his skull in four or five
places; DR.. Miller of our village is attend
ing him and reports favorable. A few of
our citizens are raising money to prrchase
instruments for brass band and are meet
ing with good success this far. j. q. Barr

may it, for with all available means, both fair
and foul, they can not produce two men which
have that magnetism in their names as our
standard bearers have. The endorsement of
the Mills bill is also feature which our politi-
cal opponents do not like, but which gives sat
isfaction in the highest degree to all Demo-
Gratis in this section. With such leaders as
Cleveland and Thurman, and such a platform,
there is victory in the air already. But to
make assurances doubly sure, let each Demo-
crat be nc and doing, and even if only little,
it will help in the endlmore than he now an
ticipates. Our neighboring village of Hol-
gate is all excitement over their ''gasser,"
which they say is a vein stronger than the
"Karg." This last is an exaggeration, Pc
culiar to some of the Holgateites. The well
was shot last Tuesday. Quite number of
our people took in Toledo and Presque
Isle Saturday and Sunday Mr.. Geyer, of
Paulding county, one of the numerous aspir-
ants for Congressional honors in this district,
was around to see whether he had any friends
hereabouts. All appearances indicate him to
be gentleman, but whether he is destined to
wear the robe of Congressman remains to
be decided ct Defiance ON the 21st of this
month. There is quite an activity in the
building and improvement line going on in
this twp, this spring and summer. The cid
houses and double log barns are fast making
room for large frame and brick houses and
commodious barns. E. The general health OF
our community is at present very good.
The county school examiners held sort of a
court of inquiry at Holgate last Saturday, or
were to, but owing to the fact that they very
judiciously demanded security for costs be-
fore proceeding; the complaining party re-
fusingto give such security, they also refused
to hear the case, which by theway was nothing
else but an attempt to defraud worthy
young lady of teachers certificate, under
cover of the late law. Had the board of ex-
aminers heard the complaint, and even if
found true, there would have been no end of
similar complaints brought before them, and
the outcrop would be continuous drain on
the county treasury for witness fees. etc. They
certainly did right in demanding bail for the
costs. AGRIooLA.

Attempt to Rob an Express
Train Near Cincinnati.
THE BAGGAGE MASTER SHOT
FOUR TIMES AND KILLED.
One of the Robbers Knocked From
the Train-The Robbers Get No
Booty.

CINCINNATI, o., June 9.-After the
train on the l., st. l.. q G. railroad left
Delhi, twelve miles west of this city,
the attention of the baggage master
and the express messenger was Gttract-
ed TO some tramps, as they thought,
who were riding on the car platform.
They started for the door, when the
tramps commenced firing upon them,
and baggage master Ketchum was
wounded in four places and fell 10 the
floor. Zimmerman, the express Mes
senger attempted to draw his revolver
but itstuck in his pocket, and he re-
treated to the platform and met the
conductor, who signalled to stop the
train.
One of the tramp robbers meanwhile
crawled to the top of the tender. where
the engineer and fireman knocked him
stiff with a monkey wrench. Another
robber attempted to get on the tender
but didn't like the treatment that his
comrade had received. The fireman
and engineer then rolled the insensible
robper off the tender.
AS the train stopped the robbers
jumped off and disappeared in the
darkness. Zimmerman thinks there
were four of them and all were masked,
and that they fired at least fifteen shots.
But they failed to get into the car, as
the front door was locked, and failed
entirely in getting any plumber.
The police were soon put on the track
and pursued the rascals, aud a squad of
thirty were sent out from Cincinnati.
at midnight. Two suspects were ar
rested.
Baggage master Ketchum is under
the care ofSurgeons Muscroft and Dan
bridge, but as his bladder was pene-
trated by one of the shots it is reported
he can not live.
HAS a: m.-The police have found a
pool of fblood near the spot where The
robber was tumbled from the train.
He was evidently badly hurt, but was
carried off by his companions.
1850 p. m.-Four suspects have been
arrested at Aurora, Indiana, and it has
been learned that five farmers were
robbed in succession last night near the
scene Of the attempted train robbery,
and it was evidently 1.-THE work of the
defeated train desperados. The doctors
have taken two bullets from Ketchum,
but he is very low and cannot live.

SOLDIERS WIDOWS.
An Important Bill in the Matter Of
Pensions.

CuSHOuSs
WASHINGTON, June 9.-The Presi-
dent has approved the act of Congress
providing that pensions heretofore or
hereafter granted to widows of soldiers
of the war of the rebellion shall COM
mence at the date of the death of their
husbands. This legislation favorably
affects all claims of widows of the late
war, which have been filed i'm the PEN
sion Office on or after July 1, 1880, and
which have been allowed to commence
from the date of the filing of the claims;
but will not favorably affect the cases
of such widows as were filed before
July l, 1880, and which have been
allowed pensions having already been
granted in these cases from the date of
their husbands death. The Commits
sioner of Pensions gives notice that In
the settlement under the law of claims
already allowed, no formal application
will be required, and that the services
of attorneys will not be necessary
Widows entitled, under said law, need
only write letter giving name, post
Office address and certificate number.
and the claims will be allowed with as
little delay as practicable.

1t Means Foraker, the Squirt.

The Republican managers ought to
understand, and probably do under
stand that the nomination of Mr.. Thu.
man for second place on the DEM.
cratic ticket, was not mere matter OF
chance. 1t was u fully matured move
with a direct and well considered pur-
pose in view.
Senator Sherman is eonspicuouslv
weak in the three States of California
Colorado and Nevada, where Mr.. Thur
man is especially strong. Mr.. Sher-
man is weak there on account of his
position on the Chinese question. He
Is weak because of his position on the
silver question against the interest of
those states, and he is weaker still be-
cause of being regarded as q Pacific
Railroad man.
Ex-senator Thurman has been with
the people Of the three States named
on all these questions. He was the
champion of the people who were
fighting the great corporations that
were throttling the trade and progress
of the Pacific States. He was the
friend of the laboring man against the
system of Chinese immigration that
was overrunning the Pacific coast, and
hS "N'o WIN VIC JIeNulIluS SeUIllleUb
in this section on the silver question:
The Democratic managers doubtless
argued that the nomination of Mr..
Thurman would take from the Repub-
lican column the three States named
with Senator Sherman as the Republi-
can nominee, and they argued well.
They further argued that the Old
Roman would he as strong In Indiana
as any Indiana man, because of hi,
ability to unite all the factions of thu
party, and that he is strong enough in
Ohio to make Ohio good fighting ground
for the Democrats, with more than fair
chance of success if the Republicans
should fail to nominate an Ohio man.
The logic of all this is clear. The Re-
publicans, to be in the best position
possible must not head their ticket
with the name of Senator Sherman,
but, in order to be sure of Ohio, they
must not pass over tlIis State in the
