WAR IN PERRY TOWNSHIP.
A Company of Soldiers Called Out to Pre-
vent Trouble.

A Company of Soldiers Called Out to Pre-
vent Trouble.
A school teacher, who lives i'll the
southwestern part of the county and
teaches in Perry township, has lately
got himself into trouble with a portion
of the community, and the affair may
vet end in a small war between the two
factions. He has incurred the wrath
of respectable family living near
Richville, by slurring them in the
Weekly Advance. The young teacher
boards in the district through the week
with one of the house holders, but
always goes home on Friday evening
and returns Oh Monday morning. Last
Monday morning, member of the
family, with large amount Of "war
paint" on his face and mace in
his hand. went to the railroad station
for the purpose of calling the teacher
to account for his article in the paper.
When the teacher alighted from the
train he was asked by the fellow, who
was lying in wait for him, the following
question;
care you the gentleman that is teach
ing school at No. school house,"
Eyes, sir"
"Well, you are the fellow am look
ing for and when he raised his mace
the by-standers thought he was going
to paralyze his victim in short order.
The young teacher instantly reached to
his seat pocket for his revolver, and
drew the same on his antagonist, but
was ordered to drop it. which he did.
The teacher then took to his heels up
the railroad with his antagonist after
him, but he got away from his pursuer
when he reached Hawks woods. The
teacher told his friends of the narrow
escape he had, and they resolved to
stand by their brother. Thinking the
act might be repeated this Monday
morning they organized company of
soldiers, who, with loaded guns and a
banner bearing the following inscrip-
tion, "Trouble is brewing" proceeded
to the station to guard their friend.
The soldiers guarded the teacher against
any attacks from the opposition until
he arrived safely at the school house
The friends Of the teacher propose to
keep standing army to guard him to
and from the station, and If they are
mnleStpd i'm anV WaV blood will he shed

In the FIGHT to Win.

The Columbus correspondent Of the
Cleveland Plain Dealer says: "The
school book ring is making desperate
effort to defeat the Monnot bill and a
few startling sensations are clready
promised in the Senate where the rings
agents are at work. The State is being
flooded with pamphlets containing ad-
vertising articles from California
papers on the failure of State school
books in that State. But the author Of
the bill, Mr.. Monnot, has entered the
fight to win; he is enthusiastic and
nothing but free use of Doodle can beat
him. He has been investigating the
working of the California act on this
subject and is prepared to prove beyond
doubt that the statements contained
in the rings pamphlet are false from
beginning to end. The system of State
control has been an immense success y

THE COMMISSIONERS

They Meet in the Assembly Room to Try
the Swarts Ditch Case.
The Commissioners met this morning
at the court house but adjourned to the
assembly room to try the Swartz ditch
case in Marlboro Township. This case
was set for hearing before the Commits
sionerS about three weeks ago but ad-
journed until to-day. There are about
30 witnesses on a side and the case
will take at least two days to try it.
The ditch has been in the courts for
about five years and is not yet settled.
Jonas Swartz and about thirty other
farmers want the ditch dug deeper.
The defense are trying to knock out the
petitioners on the ground that digging
the ditch deeper is in point of law
making new ditch and the statutes
of Ohio expressly declare that a new
ditch cannot be made where an old one
is located.

GEYsER'S BILL.
A Citizen Who Likes the Bill to Inspect
Meat.

A Citizen VINO Likes the Bill 10 AnbpecI
Meat.
Mr.. EDITOR:-Phil. Armour's letter
to our meat men, published in the
DEMooRAT one day last week, request
ing that they use their influence with
our representatives and senator to
defeat Senator Geyser's bill making the
inspection of cattle necessary before
Offering beef for sale, shows Mr.. Ar
mour's evident alarm. This bill should
become law, as it aims at the protec-
ton of producers against imposition.
Ohio is quarantined against Cook
county cattle; Illinois is quarantlned
against southern cattle; only allows
Texas cattle to be shipped into the
State for slaughter when not introduc-
ed for feeding. What assurance have
we that we are not receiving the beef
of the cattle Ohio and Illinois are
quarantined against?
Armour claims that he is shipping
the best grade of beef. 1t requires no
expert even to tell when it is put on
the block, that in many instances his
beef is far from being Of the best
grade. I deem it good law, and think
that Mr.. Geyser's bill should pass the
Legislature by large majority. =

Total Mileage Represented, d,........sses M

THE news monopoly is now a crying
evil, since so many smaller towns have
daily papers.
If the general government had the
telegraph lines, such towns as Canton
would have something like equal
facilities for getting news.
In addition to the above, every post
Office would be telegraph office, and
thus all points would be served in the
way of receiving and sending news.
There is now as much reason for the
government assuming the telegraph
business as the letter carrying. 1t is
only question of time, and the sooner
the better.

UNsER FRITZ, as king of Prussia is
Frederick III. and is also an Emperor
of Germany. Frederick H., known as
"the great" was the most distinguished
of the family and was king from 1740
till his death in 1885. His seven years
war ending in 1859 was one of the most
terrible in history and but for the great
ness would have wiped out Prussia from
the map of Europe, as kingdom. But
in spite of the combined powers of
Austria, Russia and France, Frederick
held his own. Austria, too, then meant

for the new Emperor, for it is not likely

A HOTEL FIRE.

Sleeps all the Same.

A Porter's Bed Clothes Burning, but He
sleeps all the Same.
About half-past two O. clock this at
ternoon some of the attendants at the
Hurford House noticed smoke issuing
from the apartments of acolored porter
named Perry. They raped for admit
tance, but it was with difficulty that
they aroused the slumberer.
The cause Of the smoke was burning
bed-clothes. A live coal had fallen
from the stove in Perry's room and had
rolled over towards the bed, where it
ignited the bedclothes. The clothing
were burning at rapid rate, and but
for the timely discovery, might have
led to a serious fire. The flames were
quickly eXtinguished. The porter,
strange to say, was slumbering sweetly
while the clothing on his bed were
burning. Damage small.
