THE common pleas court in Ashland
county IS now engaged In hearing case
of will forgery. A similar one was tried
in Cuyahoga county two years ago against
L. A. Breck and wife, formerly of New
London, and they were found guilty and
sentenced to four years at hard labor in
the penitentiary. 1t seems that people
are not content with seeking to defraud
people while they are living, but lay plans
to defeat thellawful heirs or devisees after
a mans death.

A most novel and we'll rendered en-.
teY.ainment was enjoyed by all who
witnessed the rendition OF tho bright
cantata, The Dairy Maids Supper,
given at the English Lutheran Church
last night. The large stage erected in
the school room for this occasion was
made up to represent dairy yard, hay.
ing milk cans, crooks, pals, etc, even
the old wall and trees, while the other
parts OF the large and newly remodletl
room was artistically hung with ferns,
evergreens, tapestries, etc. The perfor.
nance opened with d piano duet, and a
banjo serenade by Mcssrs. Movers and
sehreder, as the dairy duo, which was
followed by the entrance OF Mr., Dean.
who ably took the part OF Farmer, and
sang in his rich bass voice, the call for
milking time, To the lads and lassies.
who then appeared in costume, singing
the Dairy Maids chorus, willie the cows
were heard coming in the distance. AZ
ter this followed the march and stool
drill by twenty.iour miikmaids, under
the command Of Lieut.. n Harry BOYD
It did great credit to tho ladies and
the captain. The most amusing part WINS
the song Of the six city milk cans, by
Misses. Phillips, Yogel and Serir,

pump and chalk were represented by
NesSrs Boyd and Meyer. The costumes
oftheee we're all ia the shape OF the part
they represented, and the solos very
bright and catching. The grand finale
was announced by the entrance of the
farmers wife, (by Miss Matte payis)
who, in her sweet way, sang the supper
song, which was answered BY Tie grand
chorus Of the lads and lassics, which in.
ylted all to join them in Dispensing
