Far Seeing People

Are mostly successful. Theirper-
ception of opportunities, where
others see nothing, is the secret Of
their success. Those who travel
the Buckeye route in their jour
neys to and from home find much
to surprise and please, and their
far seeing propensities in selecting
this popular line" saves them
many a penny in the purchase of
tickets. Thousands of people trav-
el the Buckeye route every year in
preference to all others. The ques-
tion arises, why? Because the
equipment and road-bed OF the
Buckeye route is uneXcelled. Be-
cause its trains run at frequent and
seasonable hours; because every
possible comfort is offered the trav-
cling public enroute to Chicago,
Detroit, Toledo, Pomeroy and Ath-
ems and all points in the North
west, South and East. Any agent
ofthe Buckeye route will be pleased
to give you information concerning
routes, time of trains, price of tick
cts, ETC., if you will write or call
upon them. w. II. FISHER,

Bureau Of Pensions.
ATHENS, o., March 4, 1891.

ATHENS, u, March 4, 1891.
A man calling himself Wilson,
personating a Special Examiner of
the Pension Bureau, and obtaining
money from pensioners under false
pretenses, violating an Act of Con-
gress, approved April IS, 1854, has
been operating in Vinton, Hook
ing, Athens and Perry Counties,
Ohio. On Thursday Feb. &c, 1891
he staid all night at the home of
G. j. Chappelear, five miles east of
Corning, Ohio, and on the same
day he obtained $40 from Mary
Schell, soldiers widow and pen
sioner, collecting the money as a
fee for obtaining 500 that he
claimed was due her by a recent
Act of Congress, and representing
that the Pension Bureau had sent
him to inform her that said bounty
was due, and that the Dept. had
allowed him to make collections to
bear the expenses of filing the
papers, etc.
He is gross violator of the
Laws of the United States, and
should be arrested at once and
turned over to the authorities for
trial and conviction.
His personal description is as
follows:
He is described as a stout we'll
kept man, heavy arms and legs,
short fat hands, about 5 feet 7
inches in height, short thick neck,
heavy jaws and slight compressed
cheeks, hair dark, and bald strip
clear around crown of his head,
with q few hairs on forehead; very
prominent forehead, a short mus
tache, and rest of face unshaved
for two weeks, he may be shaved
at present. Age 45, weighing about
l45 lbs. small nice row of teeth, and
upper teeth displayed when talk
ing; complexion light, and fond of
talking of himself, explaining his
wealth and services during the
war. Had on a soft black broad
brimmed hat, and a ridge on top
of his hat made with his finger and
pressed together. The farmers
call it "Cow-boy's Hat" He had
on white shirt, lay down collar,
no neck tie, shirt very dirty; dark
sack coat and pants and vest about
the same color, little lighter;
coarse boots, nailed in bottoms and
pants tucked in boots; clothing
very much worn, and he presented
the appearance of laboring man.
He claims to be connected with

the Pension Bureau 16 years, and
that he is now operating under the
authority Of the United States. He
approaches pensioners with famil-
iarity, calling them by name, tell
ing them that they are pensioners
drawing so much u month, that
their claim was allowed on a GER
tain date, and when they were ex-
amined by the Board of Surgeons,
&c, and also gives the date of their
application for increase of pension,
and in this way leads them to be-
lieve that he is Special Examiner
of the Pension Bureau on account
of possessing such correct fnforma-
tion with reference to their pen
sion claim.

The Mayor of Nelsonville has
asked the council of that place for
an investigation of his conduct and
that of his officers in regard to the
late prize fight, all of which will
amount to nothing as such investi-
cations usually do.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Waner and
Mr.. and Mrs. Rudolph Rempel, on
Wednesday, attended the wedding

Edward Foltz, at the residence of
the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs.

1t is quite probable that you
may need the services of physi-
clan some day; but You can post
pone the time indefinitely by keep
ing your blood pure and your sys-
tenn invigorated through the use of
Ayers Sarsaparlla. Prevention is
better than cure.
We were mistaken in these
columns last week in announcing
the death of Mr.. John e. Swart. 1t
seems that he had a fainting spell
and became unconscious, and his
wife thought he was dead and ran
down to the school house and told
it and in this way the rumor start
ted.
Our citizens were aroused from
their dinners last Monday by the
fire alarm. The residence of Mrs.
Louisa McFadden in the southeast
ern part of town was wholly de-
stroyed by fire. Only part of her
personal prorerty could be saved.
The loss is $500 or 5000. No insur-
ance.
Mr.. @. Fossner of Webster Co.,
Neb., formerly of the north part of
this county, visited his mother-in-
law, Mrs. Casteel, this week. Mr..
Fossner is Democrat and was the
first one ever elected to an office in
his county, being recently elected
Treasurer by majority of 700 in
a county that was 900 Republican.
Den Mills and Ham lies, who
have been held in Jail since the
November term of court, on an in.
dictment for burglary and larceny
in the Krinn case, succeeded last
Tuesday in having their bond re-
duced to 800 by the court and they
are now out on bail. The bond of
James Black was reduced to the
same amount, but he is not out yet.
Their cases have been continued.
A young lady of this town,
who has been for some time con-
ducting correspondence with u
young man in California, left last
Friday evening for that place with
the understanding that if they are
agreeable, they are to be
if not, the gentleman is to
pay her railroad fare and expenses
both ways. The young lady is Miss
Sue Donnelly and we learned these
facts from her father, Mr.. James
Donnelly.

the next time by means of their
votes. The anonymous postal cards
had little to do with the matter.
DR.. Shadd is a colored man. The
whole thing was cut and dried
DIR. Forman j: Shadd Is thirty
eight years old, native of this
city, and graduated at Howard
University in 1875. He taught
four years there, and has been
practicing medicine here for the
past ten years. He is now mouse
surgeon at the Freedman's Hospi-
tai, one of the largest in the city,
and lectures a: the Howard Uni
versity on medical jurisprudence.
In answer to questions of a Post
reporter he said last night: "The
result is not unexpected. Several
years ago two other colored men
were voted down by the society,

Many of those who attended the
meeting were disinclined to dis
cuss the subject Of DR. Shadd's ap-
plicatiOn, but it was noticed that
more than one of the postal cards
were handed around, and the re-
firing members carried off in their
pockets the printed slip showing
the vote on the nineteen appllca-
tions.

He claimed that Messrs. Morris
and Sprague broke his office door
open and took therefrom the arti-
cles above mentioned.
Mr.. Sprague testified that he
had to kick Williams off the paper
because he had collected money
from public men. Mr.. Williams
denied the charge and said that
Sprague was indeb ed to him for
work.
In summing up the case Judge
Miller said that Mr.. Williams had
brought his case in the wrong
court and that he would have to
resort to some other court for re =
gress. The case was dismissed.

THE COLORED BATTALION
CAPT. PERRY MAY DECLINE.

The situation in the Cadets and
Capitol City Guard is rather
mixed. Capt. James Perry Is
tired of the fight and will proba-
bly, request Gen. Ordway to with
draw his name. On the other
hand Gen. Ordway has found out
as far as he has gone that there Is
no truth in the charges that have
been preferred against Perry. The
impression is that the easiest way
to settle the question AID harmo-
nize all parties is for Gen. Ord
way to appoint Capt. Hamilton
Smith. This will be fair and Will
give satisfaction to all parties con-
cerned.
