DRIVEN TO IT BY CRUELTY

4 despatch from New Lisbon says:
Ten wears AGO little Glen Miller, son of
VIM. Miller, was taken to the Chill
dren's Home, from whence he was taken
by German farmer at Osnaburg, near
Canton. The family was to clOthe and
school him and when he was eighteen
rive him 800. Two weeks ago he came
here with pitiful story OF the farmers
cruelty. which the neighbOrs cOrrobo-
rated. He carried marks on his body
made by the mans blows. 1t is sup
posed the man wanted to drive him off,
as this was his last year Of service
John NJ. Mcpherson, near Wellsyille,
took kim and was much pleased with
his work. Last Saturday, when the
McPhersons were at Welsyille, Glen
went out with the gun. Some men
heard the report and saw him fall. The
ball entered the forehead, went right
through the brain and out the back of
his head. He lived one hour butnever
became conscious. He was buried here

The above does gross injustice to the
farmer in Osnaburg township, with
whom the boy Clem Miller lived six
wears. The case was Investigated by
the Trustees of the Home, and they
found the boy was well cared for, well
clothed and sent to school, The boy
was not truthful, and that was his rep
utation. The fact is, the farmer did
not want him to leave, and supposed he
would soon be glad to return, and if he
had, would have been welcome. 1t is 8
sad ending for the lad, but indicates {
mind that was i'll at ease, or out of bal
ance. The writer hereof speaks know

In 1876 the Democratic National
convention met in st. Louis. The NOM
inees were Tilden and Hendricks, both
dead, Tilden dying in August, 1886 and
Hendricks in November the same year.
Every American citizen knows they
were elected by a good majority, but
were cheated out Of their respective
places and Hayes and Wheeler were
fraudulently declared by Congress to
be elected. Chandler, Sherman and
other Republican leaders were the
manipulators of the mOnstrOus fraud,
and the party justified and sanctioned
the villainy.

In looking over today's issue OF you1
paper, we saw a letter from A. ID. Fas'
sett. in which that gentleman under.
takes to say that the delegates to the
Ohio State Trades and Labor Assembly
we're devoid of sense because OF their
Endorsement of the MonnOt school book
bin. All that we have to say in reply
IS that we are not the only ones who
seem willing to stand convicted
of that charge, 1t was very
apparent a few days ago
that there was something over seventy
members Of the General Assembly Of
Ohio, consisting Of both Republicans
and Democrats, who were not averse to
peing called fools, il Sc good a cause
Perhaps Mr.. Fassett may have per,
sonal desire to belittle the actions OF all
Trades Assemblies because of the
action of the Akron and Cleveland
Trades Assemblies. We do not know
that this has anything to do with that
gentleman's present course, but we can
readily see why he would not love such
bod e.. But we want 70 say that the

and make other improvements.
We have yet two other lots, Nos. 8 and

will sell II application be made soon. The
size Of the half-block Ia 52xll4 varas. The
soil is naturally very deep and rich and its
fertility has been increased by the washing
on to it to tho depth Of perhaps six inches
from the higher grounds. near by. Cedar
street, which starts at the freight depot,
runs on tho west side. Concho street on the
north, while there are alleys laid off on
both the other sides, thus making it accessi-
BILE and secure from all possible neighbor-
hood entanglements There are improve
menes on the adjacent property on THREE
sides of the place, while the grounds of the
San Marcos Real Estate Association lie on
the other side. If improved, it would
make an unusually handsome and desirable
home. II is also convenient to the pub
lilo school and Chautauqua Hill. We think
it should not be DIVIDED, but will sell the
lots separately if desired.

The Old Cemetery.

Mrs. Geo. L. McGehee and Miss Mary
Lindsey continue to serve as committee to
see to the condition and institute improve
ments in this cemetery, They wish to say
to our people that they are ready to receive
any further aid which may be given
them for carrying out the work. They de-
sire to have the trees topped, something
much to be desired, and which will add to
to the appearance of the grounds. Also to
keep the premises generally in good condi-
ton. Those things will require money, for
which the committee must depend on the
lberality of our people. and for which they
solicit early attention. All our people, we
should think, should feel an interest and
pride for the credit of the town, in keeping
this old pionear burial place in good and
handsome condition.
