On Saturday, Sept. 81, 1890, occurred
the death of Osmond Wetmore, of
Haskins, Ohio.
In company with his wife, he had
gone 10 the farm of David Berse, near
the village of Bailey, Lucas county,
for the purpose of getting grapes to
take to his grocery store at Haskins,
and feeling chilly, asked his wife to
assist him in putting on his overcoat.
He was buttoning the coat preparatory
to starting for his wagon,
when he fell to the ground,
and upon examination it was found
that life WAS extinct. He had been
feeling quite well and cheerful prior
to this sudden call and had but short
time before been joking with some
friends. He was placed in his wagon
by friends and driven to the home he
had left but II few hours previous, in
his usual health. A post mortem
was held and the cause of his sudden
death was attributed to heart failure.
He was the third eldest of the
family, and was born in Louville, New
York, in March, 1916, thus making his
age "A years last March.
He sailed the lakes for about 80 years,
came to Wood county in 1888, and has
been resident of the county since that
time.
Some 90 years since he was married
to Mrs. Jane Jackson, who survives
him.
For Il number of years he resided on
his farm near Haskins, but few years
ago rented the farm and has since
conducted Il grocery and provision
store in Haskins.
He had Il large number of friends,
who regret his death.
The funeral services were held at
the Baptist church in Haskins and the
remains were placed in the vault in F't
Meigs Cemetery in this place. A large
number of people were present to bid
| farewell TO an old friend.

LENIOYNE.

The outlook for IL good corn crop
is very favorable. This with good
prices for all farm products puts the
farmer in good humor. Wheat is
nearly all sown and the acreage is
above the average. On account of
the failure of our oil we'll, the oil excite

ago. The Autumn term of school has
commenced and the teachers, who are
conducting it, is Il guarantee that it
will be highly successful. The saw
mill of Mr.. Andrews is again in opera
tion after long rest. We have had
n large number of cases of scarlet
fever, but all of them are reported
recovering, with no new cases heard
from. Some person evidently not
well posted in a communication to the
Wood County Sentinel and Gazette is
trying to create the impression that
the Republicans of this (Troy) Town
ship are united in pushing the claims
of Mr.. Gibson as candidate for County
Commissioner, when Mr.. Thompson s
present term expires. | do not know
upon what grounds he presumes to
voice the political preferences of the
Republicans of this Township. AS an
old resident / do know that only small
minority of the republicans of Troy
would favor such nomination. When
the proper time comes the straight
and reliable republicans of Troy Town
ship will present the name of person
for tho nomination, who is in every
way worthy and capable and who will
not trade with Democrats or use
money for the purpose of furthering
his own political aspirations.

AN IRoN-CLAD MEASURE.

Prohibition Bill.

Emergency Clause Tackled on to
Prohibition Bill.
Special to the Globe
PIERRE. S. d., Feb. 5.-The prohibit
ton bill came up in the senate and
house to-day, and the debate consumed
the entire day, and will occupy t0-mor-
row in the senate and several days in
the house. All the leaders of the Pro-
''ition league and w. G. Il.
u are here lobby ng earnestly
a.aong members for the success
or the measure, and to-day the
state house was crowded to Overflowing
with visitors. The Prohibitionists want
all the most stringent features of the
measure retained, while those opposed
to the bill. well knowing that any great
modification is hopeless. are STRIVING to
have certain amendments adopted
which will not rob it of its irODela | pro-
Visions. 1t is safe to say, however, that
the original bill, when consideration is
ended. will stand, and 1t will
he the most stringent measure
ever placed upon a statute book
for the suppression of the liquor traffic.
Both houses to-day adopted an amend
ment made i'll committee to add sac
rament clause" which allows the use of
lClhCu~cu Wits III religious c6reI mo-
MES. This feature is the one which
created such lively rumpus between
the Protps ant Episcopal and Methodist
clergy of this state. Bishop Hare, speak
Ing for the Episcopal clergy. favored
the sacramental clause, and Presiding
elder "a. Burdiek. of the Methodist
conference, led those opposing it. The
EpiScOpaliaHS are consequently jnbi-
liant. Another point deemed necessity
by the opposition to the bill is an
amendment adopted by the senate pro-
vldihg that physicians or patients need
not be required to make affidavit as to
the nature of the disease, in the treat
ment OF which liquor is required. The
emergency clause, providing that tue
measure snail become operative
Immediately after its passage and
approval, was adopted after long
and hot debate in the senate by a vote
OF u to IL, the minority cOnteudIng for
the usual ninety-day limit before the
bill became operative. Tnis emergency
feature will do awav with the saloons
i'll the state. which are now running
wide open every day ami night without
letup, hindrance or license. There is
intense excitement among the hundreds
VINO have gathered here TO lobby for
and against the bill, and both branches
of the legislature will be in Arment
until the measure is finally disposed of.

which, in connection with the melting
snow in the mountains, has caused the
greatest food known since that country
was settled. The damage to southern
Oregon cannot be estimated as yet, for
postal communication is so uncertain
anc limited that only surmises can be
made OF the ravages of the water. On
the line of the numerous tributaries of
tne Rogue river. many small ranches
have been badly damaged. if not ruined.
and miles OF fencing have been swept
away. Much of the finest soil in the
low valley has been washed down to
gravel and bed rock, and the spectacle
OF heids flooded, roads washed out and
bridges and culverts demolished Is COM
mon. The fertile Bear creek region
has not escaped the visitation. The
heart OF the valley has presented the
appearance of turbid sea for days,
and communication between its many
towns has been almost suspended by
the swollen foot hills streams. Bear
creek itself has borne along great deal
of wreckage, besides fences, outbuild-
lngs, and even barns and houses, and
has wrought much destruction in under
mining and sluicing off the deep
alluylum that cOmDoSes its banks.
In the Applegate region there
are few bridges left. Many people
were obliged to leave their homes TO-.
safety. Great damage has been done to
mining interests of the section by the
bursting of dams and filling OF bitches
and the loss of f1ume boxes and machin-
cry. The Oregon d California railroad
track in southern Oregon has been
washed away for miles. and the road
bed is seriously damaged along the
whole line. There has not been mail
from either the north or south for several
weeks. No estimate can be made OF the
loss to the county in bridges and private
property. Hundreds of thousands OF
dollars will not cover it.

Clouds on the Title to Valuable
Duluth Property.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Minn., Feb. 5.-Another
claim has arisen which attempts to cast
cloud over the title to great share of
Endlon division of Duluth. 1t will
probably prove as big a bugaboo as
Prentice's Third division nightmare.
For more than year John D. Gill has
been poring over record books in the
registers office. No one knew why he
was thus employed, and he always
worked in corner by himself. 1t now
appears that the brilliant young altor-
ney has been loaded for bear, and has
been stocking his magazine with an
immense amount of legal ammunition.
Early in the fiftieS Charles Chester and
Mary G. Chester lived near Chester
creek. The California craze seized
upon Chester and he departed for the
racine slope in 1858, giving to his wife
Mary, the power of attorney to collect
accounts, settle his debts. and to arbi-
trate other matters and to sell certain
lands. During his absence Mary wound
up her husbands business, selling the
following properties to j. Is. Culver for
$1,000: The north half of northwest
quarter and the southeast quarter of
northwest quarter of section %, town
ship 30, range IA. and other lands. The
acreage passed by patent
SIGNED BY PRESIDENT BUCHANAN
to Charles Chester, as assignee of a
land warrant issued to Peter Wagner, a
private soldier Of the war of 1872. To-
day there was presented for filing an
agreement to sell lands executed by
Charles and Anna Chester, of Alameda
county, California, to Frank III. Clark,
of Chicago. The land so agreed to be
sold is the acreage previously disposed
OF. The agreement fixes the price of
the land at S125,000, of which amount
$4,000 has been paid. On top of this
come two fresh powers of attorney. CIV
ing Clark and John ID. Gill the right to
take up the thread of the ownership
at the point where Chesters laid it down.
A leading title lawyer said to-day:
'There are several alleged grounds for
suspicion as to the validity of the
present titles. No power of attorney,
properly executed, has ever been found
given by Chester to his first wife. The
alleged power of attorney specified ce.r-
tain lands, but did not include the acre
age in question, so the power will apply
only to the properties described. Some
inaccuracies of description are said to
exist" Above is the standing of the
matter as developed so far. The prop
erty comprises four blocks in the best
part of Endion division, and is valued
at several million dollars.
