ETA law was recently passed increasing
the pensions of those who were afflicted with
deafness as the result of exposure and service
in the war. Deafness in great many cases
was caused from the effects of artillery serv-
ice and other causes.
This law is interesting from the fact that
in the Columbus agency it has Increased the
pensions of over 1900 persons. The work has
been done without any application from any
one and without the service of an attorney.
No other pension agency in the country has
made record for efficiency and promptness
in all matters pertaining to the soldiers and
pensions as has the agency here under the
management of Capt. Barger.

Death of Belle Boyd.

Many of our citizens will remember Belle
Boyd, the noted Rebel spy, who lectured in
this city some years ago. The following tells
of her tragic death:
EUFAULA. IND. T., February THE latest
advices from the home of Belle Starr, the
noted female outlaw, say that she was assas-
sinated in a most cowardly manner. Her
murderer is still at large The woman lived
in desolate spot on the Canadian River, and
she was murdered while returning from a
visit to some neighbors, few miles in the
Choctaw Nation. She was mounted on the
horse which she had used for years, and was
within few hundred yards of her home.
just as she was about to ford the river, on the
Choctaw side, man, or possible two, fired at
her from ambush, being concealed in the
dense growth of chaparral lining the river
banks. The assassin, or assassinS. were only
a few yards from her, and the big bird shot
struck her full in the face, killing her instant
".
WHEELING, W. Va, Feb. IA Fort Smith
(Ark.) telegram, which has been extensively
published, gives the history of Belle Boyd,
the famous Rebel Spy of this State, and iden-
titles her as Belle Starr, the female outlaw
who was killed near Eufaula, l. T., Sunday.
The publication naturally caused a sensation
throughout West Virginia, where Belle Boyd
has been known since childhood. Her birth
place was Martinsburg, the home of United
States Senator Faulkner, and until three
months ago she has of late been making her
head quarters at Parkersburg. The last seen
of her was in December, when she made a
lecture tour of this State and a portion of
Ohio, and spent some time in Wheeling, where
she has many friends among Ex- Confederate
soldiers. At the State Democratic Conven-
tion in Huntington last July sire was present
on the platform with Senator Faulkner, who
was Chairman of the convention, and received
an ovation. The story that she and Belle
Starr, the desperate, are one and the same
person is not credited here. 1t is probable
that the reporter who wrote the Fort Smith
dispatch has confused Belle Boyd's story with
the history of one Bell Carpenter, who form
erly lived here, and has half breed Choctaw
Indian son Mt ar here, across the Pennsylva-
mia line. The Carpenter woman answers the
description of Belle Starr. She left here in
1886 for Arkansas. She had shady reputa-
tiyn, while Belle Boyd, aside from her career
as rebel spy during the rebellion, when she
was twice sentenced to death, but had her
sentence commuted by Lincoln, has always
borne high character and is respected by all
who know her.

A SUCCESSFUL CAREER.

DIR. Albert, of the Albert Medical Institute,
Cleveland, Ohio, will make his ninety-siIth
visit to our city Friday, Dec. 7, and in con-
nection with the announcement, the AeSsen-
ger desires to make mention of the Doctors
splendid business reputation.
He has visited the city many years past and
conducted his business in such manner as
TO make hundreds of friends, all of whom
speak in terms of highest praise and merit
him the success he has attained. His repuia-
tion extends not only in this vicinity, but
everywhere throughout Northern Ohio and
everywhere he is held in high esteem. His
business methods give confidence to all, as
in his transactions he is courteous, honest,
sincere and always true to his agreements.
His long years of practice and his many Wis
its testify to his popularity and tell the story
of his successful career. In our dealings
with the Doctor, we have always found him to
be man of such character as gives unlimit-
ed confidence and we take great pleasure in
recommending him to the citizens of Free
mont and Sandusky county as man of sterl-
ing business qualities.

,g-The Baker Wind Mill Co. is boomin,

8yThe Baker Wind Mill Co. is booming,
and it becomes more apparent every day that
facilities for its manufacture must be in
creased. The company should not be allow
ed to seek other fields for its operations. 1t
therefore behooves our citizens to be up and
doing and make all possible efforts to secure
a supply of natural or artificial gas and bet
ter railroad facilities. Two new railroad lines
are talked of-the Fremont cut-otf and the
extension of the Findlay and McComb road.
With these two lines running to Napoleon,
together with its natural facilities, the place
would spring into new life, and would receive
such an impetus as would make things boom.
We hope our citizens fully realize the situa-
ton.

Democratic Candidate for Governor.


The Fostoria Democrat thus speaks of one
of the sons of the great Democratic North
west in connection with the candidacy for
Governor next fall, the Hon. Warren P. No
BILE, of Seneca county:
Among the names mentioned for that po-
sition we notice that of Hon. Warren z. No
BILE. of Tiffin. Mr.. Noble would make an ex-
cellent nominee, and, If chosen, would be an
honor to the Democracy of Ohio as Governor.
He is a man eminently qualified to fill that
position, and we feel convinced that, should
he be elected the little petty demonstrations
of spite and selfish demagogueism which has
characterized the occupant of the Guberna-
torial chair the past couple of years will dis
appear.
When it is considered that the backbone of
Ohio Democracy lies in Northwestern Ohio
and that it has never been honored by max
ing one of its sturdy members the nominee
for Governor, we think il would be just the
proper thug for the Democracy of this sec
ton to unite on man, and he Warren T. No
ble, and see that he is nominated and elected.
A little determination on the Democrats part
would result in success, and they would gain
fitting recognition for their past services,
and the proper encouragement"
We fully concur in all the Democrat says
and can say further, that Mr.. Noble is life
long Democrat, an able stumper and cul-
tured gentleman, one who would add great
strength and popularity to the ticket. Other
illustrious names have been mentioned for
the position, but that of MIR. Noble is the first
from this part of the State, therefore let the
Gibraltar of Democracy present solid front,
take him as their candidate, fight for his
nomination, and that accomplished the peo-
pie of the State will do the rest--secure vic
tory for the Democrats.

The Old, Old Story of Labor Enslave-
ment.

Geo. B. Eggleston, writing for the Courier
Journal, discusses in the light of history and
philosophy, the tendencies of the times tow
ard the crushing out Of popular liberty and
equal rights, by the gradual enslavement of
the masses:
History reveals to ne the very sad fact that,
in all ages and under every form of govern
ment, the laboring classes have been enslaved.
Whether it be universal suffrage or autocracy.
the result is the same-the Capitalization of
wealth and power in the hands of the few and
slavery to the masses. This seems to be the
fiat of fate, and the immutable decree of ply
sical and social laws for the severe struggles
for life. Wealth and privilege must ever tri-
umph over poverty and weakness. The sue
cessful revolt of 1776 against oppression was
achieved by our fOrefathers under exception
al conditions and will prove in the end to
have been only temporary reaction.
The ideal Republic at which they aimed was
alluring and magnificent-but impossible.
The same forces and agencies are now mani
fest in this, our boasted Gland of the free,"
which have crushed out popular liberty and
equal rights in all other countries. Is it pos
sible for the American people to escape the
universal doom? Why should ours be the
Noah of nations? 1t would be strange, in
deed! When we contemplate the Ignorance
and venality of the great mass of voters; their
helpless and dependent condition and the in
radicable vices of human nature, it seems in
evitable that capital, privilege and class leg
islation must eventually do their perfect work
here as elsewhere. This may appear pessi2
mistic. 1t is not so intended. Ours, not
withstanding, will certainly be great coun-
try.
Our stock of knowledge will receive many
grand and wonderful accretions. There will
also be new and startling inventions in art.
What is called civilization will still be devel-
oped, but it will be achieved through the mar
tyrdom of the laboring classes. We will have
great wealth and squalld poverty. The pleas
ant things of this life will be the sole heritage
of the prosperous few. There will be real
lied in our once free and happy land the vul-
gar idea of heaven-a place where God and
his angels are residing in splendor and great
glory, and at the same time trampling under
foot millions and billions of the damned.
There is nothing, however, to be gained by
abject submission. Keep up the fight for the
people. Perhaps we may be able to extort
better terms from the victors.

decided by the Supreme Court Tuesday. Two
attorneys had presented the commissioners
of county bill of S4OO each for services in
murder case. The county commissioners
cut the bills down to $500 each. The attor-
neys appealed to the court of common pleas,
which overruled the commissioners and the
circuit court sustained the common pleas.
The Supreme Court reverses both courts and
decides that the county commissioners have
the right to fix the allowance to attorneys in
cases where the county is interested.
