LIGHTNING ROD AGENTS
Attempt to Fleece Well Known FARM
1.-The Intended Victim Quotes Poetry.

1.-The Intended Victim Quotes Poetry.
An attempt was made to yictmize Jacob
Miller, who lives in Canton township, two
miles east of this city, few days since.
Mr.. Miller has erected a fine barn but has
not yet secured any protection against
lightning. A slick looking chap drove up
in front OF his residence one day last week
and soon was engaged in conversation
with Mr.. Miller regarding lightning rods.
He represented himself as an advertiser,
and wanted to rod Miller's barn as an ad-
vertisement. He stated that he would put
up 145 feet free, and would charge five
cents per foot for five feet, making in all
$50 feet.
After some conversation Mr., Miller
agreed TO the proposition and the contract
was drawn up. Miller still kept the docu-
ment in his own hands and said that he
would go to the house and look over the
contract and see that il was all right. Up
on examination II was found that the slick
agent had agreed to furnish 146 feet free
but did not state how much more he would
put up. The balance, the contract stated
was to be paid for at the rate of Ave cents
per foot. Mr.. Miller Immediately tore the
paper into shreds, and refused to have
anything more to dc with the agent.
A few days afterwards another man who
gave his name as Hill and his residence
Alliance, drove up in front of the house
and stated that he had come to rod the
barn as per contract Mr.. Miller refused
to entertain any such proposition, The
man finally left, but threatened to return
and rod the barn at later date. He has
not yet returned and II will not be well for
him 20 put In an appearance as Mr.. Miller
has provided himself with a howitser and
other Implements of war, and is prepared
TO make 1t torrid for any man with the
suspicion Of a lightning rod about his per.
son. He states:
"If any lightning rodder wants dinner
dialogue,
With the restaurant department OF an
enterprising dog,
just let him pitch his tent inside my out
side gate,
And I'll bet two hundred dollars that he
wont have long TO walt"

The Prohibitionists held a meeting at
Temperance Hall Saturday evening, ana
considerable enthusiasm was manifested
by the small number who were thore' MIR.
John Danner presided and Frank cMur-
ray acted in the capacity OF secretary
Mr.. Danner stated the object of the meet
ing, which was to discuss means and
methods for carrying on the spring cam.
paign.
DR.. William II. Miller, candidate for
Mayor, was called upon, and delivered
quite an grafton. He scored Mr.. Ramsey,
and said that Ramsey posed as a temper
ance man, but had sent word to the Pro.
bibitionists that IL they endorsed him il
would defeat him. The doctor took the
position that IL Ramsey was defeated the
Prohibitionists would be blamed, and
Furthermore, IL he were elected they
would be blamed anyway. He said that
all the Prohibitionists knew Ramsey to be
an active temperance man, but that there
is no doubt now that he is catering to the
saloon vote. He is a temperance man
but hasn't the backbone TO say so. Miller
didn't like man that hadn't the courage
of his convictions, and thought such a
fellow wouldh't make much of a mayor.
Valentine L. Ney, candidate for council
in the Seventh ward, said that il he were
elected, the people would know that there
was Prohi5itionist in the council.
James L. Swan, Third ward candidate
IOr council, salu llldl tueTe was sort OF
humorous streak in the Prohibition move
ment "but he felt as If he would like to
be elected
Frank McMurray, Third ward candidate
for assessor, said that they wanted men
elected who had clean records. "If any
man is not with us entirely" said he, 1--WE
don't want them at all.n
James Sterling, candidate for solicitor,
made rousing speech, and said he
was heart and soul in the work.
Reuben Erwin, an old time worker in
the cause and a brother.in-law of j. N.
Ramsey, stated that Ramsey is not man
of hrmness. He knew Ramsey as we'll as
any man in the city, and If he were elected
ne would do just as the leaders dictate.
ale would be a tool in the hands Of his
party" said the venerable Prohibitionist.
A'He has said he doesn't want the Prohibit
tionist's votes and IL he doesn't want them
he don't need to get them.n
Short addresses we're made by others
present, including an enthusiastic speech
10y Editor Ashenhurst of the Leader. A
number of candidates had refused to make
the canvass and Mr.. Danner and others
stated that they would see the ones who
declined and endeavor to persuade them
10 make the run. The meeting was har-
monious, the main idea being that the
Prohibition party would go down with
colors flying. As j. n. Ramsey is known
temperance man and has given his Prohi-
bition friends the cold shoulder.

At IL o'clock he went up stairs intending
to retire. He put back the covers of the

down stairs and complained of feeling
sick, saying he wanted medicine, and al
most Immediately fell into chair and in
a minute was dead. He has been suf-
ferer since babyhood of heart trouble, and
this was the cause of death. He was a re-
