IL was Universally Entertained as Late as
the Seventeenth Century.
A writer in late medical Journal
takes for his subject the interesting
theme of "Demonology and Witchcraft,"
showing how some of the learned Chris
tian writer's of only two centuries ago
accepted such uncanny doctrine as be-
yond dispute. Sir Thomas Browne, one
OF the master minds of the seventeenth
century, declared that those who denied
the existence of witches were not ONLY
infdels, but also, by implication at
least, atheists. II have ever believed. -
he says in his "Religio Medici," mage
"a, edition OF 1072, land do now know,
that there are witches; they that doubt
them do not only deny them but spirits.
and are obliquely and upon consequences
sort, not of infdels, but of athe-
lists" Shakespeare again and again
refers To belief in demonology. Bacon.
In one OF his most important works. his
Advancement of Learning" pro-
nounced the three declinations from re-
ligion to be "heresies, idolatry and
witchcraft."
In 1858. only 122 years ago, John Wes-
ley wrote as follows: ''It Is true. like
wise, that the English in general and,
indeed, most Of the men of learning in
Europe, have given up all accounts of
witches and apparitions as mere old
wives fables am sorry for it, and
willingly take this opportunity of en-
tering my solemn protest against this
violent compliment which so many that
believe the Bible pay to those who do
not believe it. / owe them no such
service. / take knowledge that these
are at the bottom of the outcry which has
been raised, and with such insolence,

opposition, not only to one Bible, but to
the sufferings of the wisest and best of
WeA in all ages and nations They all
know, whether Christians know it or
not, that the giving up of witchcraft is,
in effect, giving up the Bible" During
the Middle Ages, the devil was believed
to be everywhere-u6ique d9sso3. There
was one religious sect who continually
kept up hawking, splitting and blow
ing at the nose, with a view to expel
the devils swallowed in breathing. A
trace Of this still remains in some local
tiles. where one who sneezes is greeted
with 'sGod bless youin Such beliefs

THE HEAVENLY AIRS.
NO. 10.

Work is the fresh air of the souli
1t clears the heavy brain,
Quickens the pulses of the mind,
Warns thought to action, and the blind
And sluggish will sunk into ease
OF ineffective lethargies
1t stirs to life again.
Grief is the cold air of the souli
1t chills and blights the flowers,
In urgent gusts 1t sways and smites,
Freezing the source Of all delights;
But roots grow strong by dint of storm,
And, when the spring awakes, they form
The growth OF happier hours.
Love Is the warm air of the souli
1t reacheth far and wide,
Clasping all life with healing touch,
Wooing the little into much,
Making brown branch and buried root
To bud and blossom and bear fruit
Like the sweet summer tide.
Blow, heavenly wind, on every soulI
And stir them constantly;
Sting US and quicken US and bless,
Relax not in thy urgent stress,
Till out of toll and love and pain
Full strength and stature we attain,
And are led home by thee.

Indiana has tried in her recent
election, her new Australian system
of voting, land it worked like charm.
Since there was no chance for the
'heeler" to see how the fellows voted &,
there was much sadness in their ranks
Every man steps into a little shanty,
fixes out his ticket with nothing pres
ent except his conscience, and with no
sound save the tlutter of his own heart.
Such condition is likely to prevent
the buying of votes, for a man doesn't
like to buy thing that he is not sure
will be delivered. Hurrah for honest
elections! Let's have them, though the
heavens and the Democratic party
should fall us an effect there of. The
man who dosn't want them is a coward,
and an enemy to his country.

Miss Nell Hubbell returned home Tues
day after pleasant visit with relatives
and friends in Toledo and Ironville.

on business on Friday and Saturday of
last week.

Mcknight were in Toledo on business
the first of the week.
Miss Emma Debbee went to Toledo
this week to try and solve the mystery
of dressmaking.
This has been very busy week for
movers around town. Mr.. Jesse
Wagner moved into their new home
on the first OF the week and Henry
Wagner moved his family into the
house vacated by Jesse Wagner in
Lake township, and George Wagner
will occupy the house left vacant by
Henry Wagner, making some what of
a change about you know.
Theodore Gill now occupies Noah
Beans new house in town.
Wagner Bros are quite busy of late
getting settled in their new home but
Frank is a hustler and keeps business
rushing. Mr.. G. E. Wagner is assisting
them in the store.
The Knights of Honor will give a
grand entertainment in their hall on
Friday evening, Nov. 7th. ALI are invi-
ted to attend and enjoy a good time.
1t was hoped that the slaughter of
live stock in town had stopped but it
seems as though speaking to the parties
concerned on the subject does no good
and other steps will be taken as there
is an end to patience as such public
nuisance should not be allowed.
There has been considerable excite
ment at the Ridge for the past week,
but if our kind neighbors and citizens
would attend more closely to their own
affairs and let others do the same there
would be less gossip and scandal and
we would have more peaceful village.
Miss Georgia Bowman began her win

make the twenty first term for the

THIS Is A HOLE.
Republicans
There are several r
in it
Republican State Ticket Elected by
about 20 600
County Ticket All right with two excep-
tions-Jones defeated by votes,
and Day by 382.

If any of you smiling Democrats
think it is an easy matter to edit a
paper the week of election land SUCH
an olection) you are badly mistaken.
1t is of course, no more than we
might have expected.
The gcrrymander of the State left
us no hope of electing our Congress
man, but the Democrats were badly
scared any way, (some sonsolation in
that.
Reports show that McKinlev is
defeated by about 500. Foster by so;
Brigham by 1000; and Ashley by 1900
In Wood county the Republican
State ticket has majority of $50, a
gain of so over last year, but The
county ticket was badly scratched.
]. b. Wilson, auditor comes up with
965 majority on his reelection, and
A. l.. Muir majority of about 6s6.
Guy G. Nearing made a good run for
Probate Judge, and has a majority Of
$50, and William Patterson for Intirm-
ary Director holds up with the State
ticket.
In Perrysburg township, the Demo-
cratic majorities usually range from
$50 to 225, and this fall the Republicans
cut them down to 81. The election in
Perrysburg was conducted in such a
manner that there was not the slightest
friction between the two parties, and
Democrats and Republicans were alike
good natured and happy all day.
Uncle Daniel was on deck, of course,
and with his beaming countenance
wreathed in smiles hustled the faithful
and was ably assisted by ''Doctor" Geo.
Whitman and Engineer" James
Hayes. Dams old time vim seems to
have deserted him, but Hayes and
Whitman were all right.
Michigan elects the Democratic State
ticket by from 5000 to 1900 majority.
The legislature is Democratic.
Pattison, Democrat, Is elected Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania by plurality of
16,93S, but the balance of the State
ticket is Republican by large majorities
The Democrats will have a majority
of 134 in the heXt House, the Farmers
Alliance men being counted with the
Democrats.
Indiana is Democratic by about 5000
Ohio elected seven Republican and
fourteen Democratic congressman on
Tuescay last.
We give the official vote OF Wood
county in another column.
1t will be seen that Jones is defeated
by 5 votes and that is one reason why
we are so sad.

1t is said some of the Perrysburg
Republicans need shaking up-Tribune.

would not have been less than 500.

1t would seem as il Arkansas methods
were to prevail farther north. Now
they are at it in North Dakota. Two
candidates for the Senate are making
it very warm for each other. Judging
by the accounts in their papers, both

followers are simply cut throats.

date meets fellow of the Opposite

Now comes the news that Pennsyl-
vania is to have big strike. The
employers at the Frick Coke works,
near Pittsburg, threaten the proprietor,
Mr.. IL. G. Fricll, that they will quit
work unless he reinstates discharged
workman whom they allege to have
been discharged because he acted as a
committeeman for the knights Of
Labor. Frick refuses TO comply, and
ten thousand of his hands will strike.
1t would seem hard if the strike should
turn out as did the New York central
affair, every man losing his job. 1t is
to be hoped that these frictions between
capital and labor will soon cease.

CROP STATISTICS.
Comparative Status of Corn and w heat
Nv here it is Consumed.
(By United Press

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 1.-THE
statistical report of the Department of
Agriculture for March relates to the dis
tribution and consumption of corn and
wheat. 1t makes the proportion of the
corn crop in the hands of growers 1896
per cent on 700, 900, 900 bushels; of the
wheat crop, 81 per cent, or 1856, 600, 900
bushels. The stock of corn on hand is
the largest ever reported in March
The proportion of merchantable corn
of the crop of 1889 is S5 per cent,
exceed, d in recent years only by those
of 1884 and 1886. The average of all
corn on the first of December was 2S 8
cents per bushel. The average on the
first of March was 81 cents for mer-
charitable and 1912 for unmerchantable,
making an aggregate of value thirty five
million dollars less than the December
estimate. The wheat crop of 1889 was
exceeded by the crop of 1880, 1882 and
1884. The average remainder in the
hands of growers on the first of March,
for ten years past, has been 1870, 900, ,OOC
bushels. The average crop during this
period 45O 900, 900 bushels.
The present returns are very full and
satisfactory. The State agents estimates
agreeing closely with those of the De
partu en- cons oidation. The result may Il
accepted with absolute confidence as at
approximation as close as can be made
by the local estimates. Most Of th(
wheat in farmers hands is in state,
which have not a suplus over consump
ton, or in those in which the larger por
ton is consumed at home. 1t is seer
therefore that the available supply TO
expectation and for home distribution t,
July is small. The depleted farm re
serves have been measurably filled, eX
cept in few states, but it will requir
the pressure of high prices to squeez
any considerable proportion of them int
commercial distribution.

DEATH OF TAULBEE
Who was Shot bA Correspondent Kim
caid-.SOme Particulars of the Affair
.-Hincaid Under Arrest.
(By United Press.l

by United Press
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 1l'-Wn
liam Preston Taulbee, 6, Representative
in Congress from Tenth Kentucky dis
trct in the Forty-ninth and Fiftieth
Congresses, who was shot in an alterca-
tion with Charles E Kincaid, the Wash
ton correspondent Of the Louisville
Times, in the House Of the Capitol on
the afternoon Of February 2Sth, died
this morning at o'clock at the Provi-
dence Hospital His death has been ex-
pected for several days, but while there
was still chance for life, the physicians
thought it advisable not to permit him
self to make al ante Inortem statement
of the circumstances surrounding the
shooting. He died, therefore, without
making any statement, and the case
against kincaid will rest entirely on the
testimony of himself and two eye wit
uesses of the tragedy. One of these eve
witnesses was Samuel Donelson, of Ten
nessee, formerly Doorkeeper of the
House of Representatives, who has re
fused to make any statement for publica-
ton DOnelson was with Taulbee at
the time the shooting occurred.
The other witness was boy who cannot
be found. The stories of the shooting
differ In one important particular Kin
caid and Taulbee had had an encounter
some time prior to the shooting in TIE
corridor adjoining the hall of the House
Of representatives, on the east. 1t was
said just after the shooting took place
that kincaid had armed himself after
the first encounter with Taubeo, and
seeing him going down the Stairs that
led to the basement, had run after him,
called to him, and, as he turned, shot
him in the face. kincaid claims that be
armed himself in fear of danger from q
further encounter with Taulbee; that
Taulbee had warned him to arm himself,
and that Taulbee insulted and attacked
him on their second encounter, render
ing in his opinion resort to the pistol a
necessity The theory of self-defense
will be set up by kincaid's lawyer. AS
soon AS the news of Taulbee's death
reached police headquarters, an officer
was sent to kincaid's S room. He was
awakened, and after he had dressed
was taken to the police station, where he
now is The inquest will take place to
morrow. Aaron kohn, the noted Grim
inal lawyer of ST. Louis, and Judge Haf
ris, the wellknOwn jurlst of Kentucky
have been engaged by Kincaid's Ken
lucky friends to defend him in his trial
