A SLEEK sharper has been working the
people of this and Henry counties lately
Perhaps many of our readers may remember
him and may have good cause to do so, as ht
was on the warpath and wherever he could
get in his work, did so. Mr.. T.: p. Deck tells
of his operations around here as he came
across his track over in Henry county. Mr.
Harmon s. Kline, who lives Just over the line
in Henry county was swindled out of $3O by
the same fellow. He is described ss about
feet and ten inches high, dark complexion
whiskers cut short, black eyes, and on one
hand the knuckles are considerably enlarged
He went to Kline about the 21st oflast month
and said that he was from Fulton county and
had lived about Pettisville and Archibald,
and that man in Wood county owed him
debt, and wanted him to take horse in pay
ment for the same. He asked Kline If he
would buy the horse from him afterwards.
Kline told him he had all the horses he want
ed, and the man. who gave bis name as
Kramer, left, promising to return in one
week. He then went to Marion Barnes,
where he pretended to be aehorse buyer,
Williams by name, and where he became &C
quainted with Mr.. Barnes. He next went to
Mr.. Demaline's and told him be had sold a
horse to Marion Barnes, after which ne again
went to Kline's and told him also that Barnes
had bought the horse, paying part cash and
the balance in a note for $35 due in 80 days.
Kramer told Mr.. Kline that Barnes had di-
rected him either to Thomas Turney or to
H. 8. Kline, and as he was hard up and
wanted some money, he offered to sell the
note for $32. Mr.. Kline was not desirous of
purchasing the note but finally offered him
$50 for it which Kramer took and departed.
Last Sunday Mr.. Kline drove down to Mr..
Barnes and learned that the fellow was a
swindler and the note which he held was a
forgery. Mr.. Kline offers IS for his arrest.
This is thu only case of the mans operations
yet brought to our notice, but as he has been
seen in all parts of Fulton and Henry coun-
ties, there are probably many more farmers
who are able to tell ''little tale of woe."

The New York Tribune Almanac gives the
election returns from A states for the year
1890. By caSeful examination we have dis
covered that the Republican party had ma
iorities, or pluralities, over the Democratic
party in fifteen states, and that the aggregate
showed the Republican vote to be in excess
of the Democratic vote in those states 10O,-
53l. The Democrats had majorities or plur-
alities in twenty-nine states, aggregating L.
O19,61O in excess of the Republican vote.
The difference between the two aggregates is
$4,000, in favor of the Democrats. Is it not
just slight exhibition of gall for the Repub-
lican press of the country to be talking about
being the majority party2-Post

The party in power enacted all the laws
which have caused the general uprising
among the farmers of the entire country
demanding relief. Can the farmers expect
to get their rights from the party that has
caused them to rise in revolt and demand a
changer Can they look for betterment OF
their condition from the men or party that
has repeatedly ignored their rights9 Can
they expect lower tariff taxation from party
whose principles are in the direction of the
classes and directly antagonistic to the
masses? These are things the farmer should
consider. They must have relief from the
burdens which they are groaning under or
else farming must cease as a paying indus

JOSIAH KOLLER.

Although not practical miller he has always
been identified with that business, owning
and operating a mill and elevator for twenty
years in Napoleon.
He is a native Of Pennsylvania having been
born in York county, that State, Feb. 2S, 1880.
He was farmers boy. When seven years OF
age his parents moved to Warren county
where the boy attended country school. In
1910 the family again moved, this time to
Seneca county, still following the agricultural
pursuit. In 1851 and '52 Josiah attended the
academy at Republic. At the close of his sec
ond year he migrated to California via New
York and Central America, travelling as steer
age passenger. Reaching his destination at
ter witnessing much sickness and death and
experiencing very stormy passage he
worked in the mines on Brooks Bar, on the
Youba river for six months. Returning to
Seneca county he cultivated the farm until
1856 when he was married to Miss Emeline
Jones, young lady of Republic and the coup
lie moved to Benton where he first engaged in
the milling business. After 6 years expert
ence the mill was exchanged for farm at
Bucyrus. In 1872 he moved to Napoleon
where he has,since lived. While at Bucyrus he
was honored with the presidency of the Agri-
cultural Society for four years, township
treasurer four years and Justice of the Peace
eight years.
Mr.. Roller is a great traveller having visited
most points of interest in the world. In 1878
with his wife he visited the Partisan exhibit
bition and European countries; 1883, he made
tour of the western states and the following
year in company with L. Trowb- -dge visited
nearly all the countries of both Europe and
Africa. Two weeks ago he departed for a
three months trip in Cuba, Mexico and other
southern lands. The subject has always been
characterized, in his dealings with Napoleon
people, for generosity, advocating and CIV
ing freely to, all projects of enterprise. His
residence on Washington street near the busi-
ness portion is fine structure and adds
much to the beauty of this street. For
number of years he has been chief of the fire
department which alone signifies his popu-
larity.

the markets of Brazil to our products, even
in the limited way the present reciprocity

will receive the opening of the markets of the
