Our usually quiet village was considera bly,
shaken up over sensation caused by a num-
Der of our citizens, numbering about seven
ty-fve, organizing themselves into vigil
lance committee and administering a cold
bath from the engine tank, a few wearing out
number of gads, on one George Newton,
who has been running an ice cream parlor in
this town for some time past. The cause OF
the indignation being too much familiarity
with another mans wife. The husband hay-
ing been absent for number of months an
intimacy sprung up between the two that
caused considerable gossip. The husband
was Informed Of the condition of affairs and
came home, when the two left for Toledo on
the evening train only to surprise the already
indignant people of our town by returning
the next evening. she taking rooms at the Ex-
celsior House. About o'clock a. M, an
organization was effected and search in
stituted and he found in an ice house. He
was marched to the pen-stock near the depot
and made to divest himself of his coat and
vest, when number of the regulators applied
gads to his naked back until the weapons
were worn out.
He was then placed under the spout and
the water turned on for several minutes. He
was then asked to leave town by the first
train, which proposition he gladly accepted,
and took the 6 O'Clock train north, not, how
ever, until he had taken formal farewell of
the woman, who assured him she would meet
him soon.
Threats were being freely INDUCED in that
she should share similar fate with him, but
when the O'Clock train arrived going north
she, too, left.-Deshler Flag.

Readers OF the newspapers will remember
the case of George d. Lawrence, resident Of
Blanchard township, in the adjoining county
of Hancock, who was sent to the penitentiary
for eighteen months from Ottawa on the
charge of having an abortion performed on
Miss Nancy Hickerson at the residence Of
William Hanthorn in Leipsic. Lawrence il
50 years old, was married one year ago, and
his wife resides with his mother on farm in
Blanchard township. He had a good reputa-
tion up to the time he was charged with this
offense, and the case created no end of local
excitement. 1t was bitterly fought in the
courts, and after hard contest Lawrence was
pronounced guilty by jury of his peers. An
effort is now being made to secure his pardon
and petition to that end is being circulated
in the locality in which his wife and mother
live, and in Putnam county, where the deed
was committed. It is said that the Judge who
sat in the case, the Prosecuting Attorney, who
secured his conviction, and uine members of
the jury that found him guilty have signed
this petition. He was either guilty or not
guilty. On the evidence adduced the jury on
their oath decided he was guilty. Unless new
evidence has been discovered they stultify
themselves in signing petition for his par
don, as do also the Prosecuting Attorney and
the Judge. II new evidence has been found
in his favor, and it is worth any thing, the
case can be reopened. If he be indeed guilty
and he must so be considered on the verdict.
eighteen months in the penitentiary is a
small punishment. The petition for his par
don is simply proof that men can be in
duced to sign almost any petition presented
to them, if the necessary pressure of induce
ments be applied. It proves more; that the
crime for which this man is being punished
Is not looked upon with that degree of ab-
horence in the community it deserves, and is
not punised with sufficient severity. Eigh-
teen months in the penitentiary is no ade-
quate punishment for the crime of murder.
1t is this laxity of moral sentiment that has
made particular form of murder 30 common
in the land. and its very prevalence demands
all the more strongly that it be visited with
more severe penalties.

Midsummer Advertising.

This is what shrewd advertiser has to say
about midsummer advertising; ut is pc.
culiar idea to stop Advertising becuss bust
ness is dull. It is directly opposed to the
true theory and the successful practice of the
art. Advertising, properly done, prevents
dull seasons. The great successes have been
achieved by dealers who have advertised
through all the seasons. In busy times they
spoke of their goods in general. Buyers
could not be kept away. At other times they
advertised special features, and told why 1t
paid to buy them. Buyers saw the point and
bought The greatest gain was in keeping
the buying public in hand as patrons of the
man who advertised The man who did not
advertise had dull season, and later had to
work harder to gain attention. II you have
articles or goods for all the year round use, II
will pay You to talk about them to the people
who buy through all the year."

The howl set up BY the old Middle and New
England States for free raw materials. free

which they are entitled, } has induced a more
general, careful and logical investigation ol

tured article.
Avriter in the Wichita (Ia.) Eagle, thu,
pictures Western farmer loaded as a Repub.
lican pack mule:
Last spring western man wearing an IS
pair of shoes and 80 cent socks had So bushels
of Kansas corn on his feet, S6 pants and 81
drawers, 80 bushels on his hips and legs; &
undershirt, $3.50 white shirt, 40 bushels on
his arms and body; $5 vest and $25 coat. 300
bushels; a 80 cent necktie, 5bushels; 81 hat,
40 bushels; $40 overcoat, 700 bushels; pair
of overshoes, 10 bushels; handkerchief, 4
bushels; making total of 1872 bushels OF
Kansas corn for fair suit Of gentlemen's
clothes. A product of twenty-five acres of
land for one season, TO say nothing of in
terest, labor and waste.
It is difficult to conceive of a worse condi-
tion for the agricultural producer even under
absolute free trade.
And, to add insult to injury, it is sought to
throw sand into the eyes of the farmer by i'm
posing tariff duty on cabbage and eggs.
True, duty is imposed on wheat, but, there
is only 1000 bushels imported, and that seed
wheat upon which the American producer
must himself pay the tariff.
James g. Blaine, for once, is doing some
good and to some extent atoning for his pre-
vious many vicious acts of commission; and
the friends of the Mckinley bill are a little
worried by Mr.. Blaine's attack upon that
measure, for they feel that its weakness has
been barred to the bone by the secretary's 8
statement that "there is not section or line
in the entire bill that will open market for
another bushel of wheat or pound of pork"
This exposes in single sentence all the
sophistry about the Mckinley bill being
drawn in the interest of the farmer. But the
friends of the Mckinley high-taxing measure
take great comfort in the fact that Mr.. Blaine
is too late in the field with his campaign of
newspaper literature and that nothing can
now be done to defeat the enactment into a
law of this monster tariff robbery bill, and it
behooves especially the western farmer to see
that men are sent to the Congress who will
blot the disgraceful one-sided, offensive class
legislation from the statute books. As a
valuable auxiliary the Patrons of Industry
are doing excellent work, but great care
must be exercised that the opponents of this
measure and the friends of equal and Just
legislation are not divided. Here lies the
danger. Division is what the enemy is study
ing and endeavorinR to accomplish. This is
the enemy's hope of success. Farmers, see
that it does not succeed.

TERRIBLE POWDER EXPLOSION.
Thirteen Hundred Kegs of Powder
Destroy Many Buildings.

CINCINNATI. o., July 16.-A terrible
explosion occurred late yesterday after
noon at Kings Station on the Little
Miami railroad, twenty miles from Gin
cinnati. Ten or more persons were
killed and over thirty seriously injured.
Two empty freight cars were being
shunted into side track where a car
containing 500 kegs of gun powder was
standing. AS the car struck there was
an explosion and Immediately after
ward another car containing 500 kegs
of gunpowder exploded.
William Frauley, brakeman in the
employ of the Little Miami, was blown
to atoms. Five other persons, supposed
to be employees of the powder company
were killed. The Kings Powder COM
pany and Peters Cartridge works have
buildings on both sides of the river
along the railroad. The explosion oc-
CURED on the south side and the de-
struction was enormous. A number of
cottages occupied by workmen in the
powder factory and situated close to
the tracks were shattered and their in
mates injured. Twelve or fifteen girls
at work in the carriage factory were
crippled. The railway stations and
freight houses belonging to the Little
Miami railroad, together with the ad-
jacent buildings, were set on fire and
consumed. The track and ties of the
railroad are fairly torn out Of the
ground and a great hole plowed in the
earth. The Peter's cartridge factory
was burned to the ground. A relief
train was dispatched from Cincinnati
to the scene of the disaster, and the
work of rescue and relief was afforded
as soon as possible. The work of
searching for the missing and caring
for the wounded is now progressing.

The appraisement of real estate made
this spring by the various Land Appraisers
will not go upon the duplicate until next
year. The figures first have to be revised by
the various boards of equalization before
they are finally used. In August the county
board, consisting of the county commission
ers, Auditor and Surveyor, will equalize val
ues throughout the county. The report will
then be submitted to the State Board of
Equalization, which meets the first Tuesday
in December. The property will then go
upon the duplicate, and the levy of taxes for
1891 will be based upon these figures.

the Wauseon Tribune, a bastard Republican
sheet, called us liar last week and otherwise
personally assailed us. The NORTHWEST never
lies, and what was said concerning the Trib-
une and Brigham was the truth. We got our
information from the editorial columns of
the Tribune, which gave out the impression
that it was not in favor of Brigham for Con-
gress but wanted winner nominated. This
has been several weeks ago, since which time
no doubt the Tribune has been "sugared''
and is talking Brigham. It says none but
