Midnight Fakirs.

Early Monday morning, about 3 O'Clock,
6 citizen was returning home, having set up
all night with a sick friend When he reach
ed Washington street a wagon with two
men in it suddenly doomed up before him
with all the ghostliness of a phantom ship.
What made it seem so unnatural was, that a
second glance showed it to be a rickety old
farm wagon loaded down with cabbage, po-
tatoes, beets, ETC., but still making no noise
whatever. Upon closer scrutiny however,
the wheels were found to be muffled. The
fellows we're hurrying their best and anxious
to cut loose from all acquaintance. They
had been out on a thieving expedition and
from the immense load had evidently made
an excellent haul. The "small criminals" :"
it is thought, can be identified. There are
several families that are known to procure
all their winters garden truck in this mex
pensive way. 1t is rather novel but has its
drawbacks.

New BAVARIA, Oct. 14-(SpeciaT-
The appearance of our old Democrat
ic Standby, the NORTHWEST, in it's
new and tony dress, was quite sur
prise to it's many readers down here.
1t is certainly u first class paper in the
fullest sense of the word, and that it
may always so remain, is the wish of
it's many friends. To it's teachings
and excellent doctrine, it cannot be
denied, is due the building up of the
splendid Democratic front in Henry
County. May it therefore flourish
and teach the young idea how to
shoot.
The attempted murder and suicide
at Holgate, is still the theme of the
day. There is very little sympathy
toward the would-be murderer man
ifested at large. There are 30 many
conflicting reports that our only re-
source down here is to wait for the
NORTHWEST in order to arrive at the
full particulars.

other side has not been heard from,
but will no doubt go through the farce
of nominating ticket to butt against
the two old war horses nominated by
the Democracy.

Lost His Leg without Knowing 1t.

A terrible railroad accident took place at
Evendale, a small station on the Little
Miami railroad about one mile this side Of
Reading, o. The Chicago express struck
buggy containing two men. One was
killed and the other crippled for life, and
can hardly recover. They were Louis
Zinkhorn and Thomas Goodpasteur, both
about twenty years old. The injured men
were put on the train and brought to this
city. When it arrived Patrols | and 2
were in waiting, and the injured men were
removed to the Good Samaritan hospital
doctor, whatever you do don't take off

was lying in Mulvihill's undertaking es

ing burial Still the owner was unaware
that he had lost the limb and his brain
could receive impressions from the de
tached member. 1t was another illustra
ton of well known but unaccountable
fact, especially familiar to surgeons in the
army All the afternoon and during the
night GoodpBsteur continued to complain
Of that "cramped leg" which had been
packed for burial Under the instructions
Of the doctors, the nurses would not tell

AND TAKE HIS RELATIVE WITH

P. f. Burke and Attempts Sui
eide.

Ray Rurke a young about "a years Of age
living at Holgate aroused the lethargy of
that little village and transformed it into
boiling turmoil of excitement, Friday, hy
drawing a 38-caliber Smith & Weston and
shooting Mrs. p. F. Burke twice and then
discharging three balls into his own neck,
not however with fatal results.
Itseems that Mrs. Burk gave her cousin.
by marriage, Ray Burke. letter to mail
which contained something over $1O0. In
stead of mailing it he appropriated the funds
and destroyed the letter.
tits alleged that he succeeded in inveigling
the operator into writing him bogus tele
gram from relative requiring Rays pres
ence in Delphos. This he showed to P. F.
Burke, who admonished him to comply with
the request.
He did so but before leaving took P. F's
watch and overcoat and left Wednesday.
As soon as the theft was discovered
the robbed man left in pursuit. Arriving in
Deshler he found the young fellow Friday
evening-paralyzed drunk. He claimed that
he had been robbed and assured Frank
that if he would wait until morning he would
take him to where the valuables could be
found.
just then the fast line on the B. & O. came
in from the east. Young Burke excused him
self for a few minutes and going on the
other side of the train heHr the coal-chute
boarded the train AS it was pulling out, leav-
ing the other Burke on the platform.
Arriving in Holgale he went to the saloon
and met Mrs. Burke who upraided him some
what for his actions.
II have come here to die" the man trag-
ically exclaimed, and pulling a 3S-caIiber
revolver from his hip pocket fired two shots
at drs. Burke. The first passed through
her cheek infiicting a mere flesh wound
while the second struck her in the waist
clashing against corset spring. The ball
seemingly dead, when the shooter cried "She
is dead and will die also," and shot himself
three times in the neck, two of which passed
through while the third lodged near the ear.
He became dazed by the shots, seeing
which Mrs. Burke arose and grabbed the
revolver. The would-be murderer and
suicide turned and ran. He was found some
time after and taken to the Commercial
House where DR.. Townsend professionally
administered to his wounds and later DIR.
Archer was also summoned.
The wounds were found to be flesh wounds

Ill Tempered Women, Read ThhRs
It lis a common thing for a person to
apologize for an irritable, Ill tempered
woman, on the ground that she is nervous,
as If an unseemly display of temper was
perfectly consistent with Christian charac-
ter, providin~ the individual could offer
the plea of nerves" There are, as every
one knows, abnormal conditions of the
physical system, when the nerves are not
under the control of the mind, and the suf-
ferer is to be excused for all kinds of ab-
surdities of action But these conditions
occur in fevers and states of insanity, and
then the patient is put under restraint, for
the safety of herself and others.
The nervous person" who is the cause
of ceaseless misery to herself and her
friends, is the one who would resent being
treated as of unsound mind, and yet takes
nearly all the privileges of one who is
Persons of delicate nervous organization
are often the most amiable; long sufferers
from lingering disease seem to acquire a
power to bear pain which seems little
short of angelic. The display of nervous
temper" cannot be excused on the ground
Of illness, as the most irritable persons are
not those who are sufferers from depress-
ing sickness, and the much talked of irri-
liability of tl.e invalid is found on investi-
cation to be much a matter of tempera-
ment.
The SO called nervous women, who make
everybody around them wretched with
their unaccountable freaks and, above all,
with their unbearable temper, are very
often, women Of robust health, who will
walk miles in pursuit of a shopping fancy
or some whim that attracts them. Women
of fine nervous temperament, delicate and
sensitive as only such people can be, are
the very last to wound the feelings of their
friends by a coarse display Of irritability or
by selfshness. 1t is an essentially coarse
and selfish woman who will make every
one around her wretched by her irritability

is also we'll to remember that

the grapes, and the little leaks
that sink the ship; also the lit

more than thirty years Patti has been rec

But with the retirement of this woman
with silver throat and heart of gold"
there will be presented to the public a per
picking problem--that of choosing her sue

Humanity loves to be led, and after il has
chosen the leader that leader will be fol
lowed blindly How we are bamboozled
sometimes by our leaders!
To select a fitting occupant for PATHS
throne will be Il difficult matter because of
the very pIentitude of possibilities. There
are fully dozen remarkably fine singers
in the list OF those ssibilites-probably
more than there ever were before at one
time And a peculiar thingis that most
of them were born in America. The eagle
has another and worthy cause for screa IN

them warrant to be ranked among the
present or probable great singers includes
fully dozen But in guessing at Nine.
PATHS successor, the names of many of
our best known singers must he omitted.
Lillian Russell. for instance, is likely to be
an opera singer, aud really great one. as
long as she lives She intends to step
from comic to grand opera before long, but
to expect her to do more than that would
probably be too much. And the cases of
many other American opera singers are
similar
Among our grand opera and concert
singers Minnie Hauk, who was born in
New York, probably stands pre-eminent,
but as she has been singing for fully TWEEN
ty-five years tshe made her debut in Lon
don in 1868, and had appeared in America
before that Year, it would be hardly safe
to consider her
If the coming queen of song is chosen
from the ranks of American singers she
will doubtless be one of the eight or nine
young artistes whose names are compare
lively new to the public There are two
whose prospects are particularly bright
Esther Palliser and Mary Howe.
Miss Pallser (whose real name is Wal
ters) was born in Philadelphia in 1871.
She made her debut in grand opera in
Faust, at Rouen, being then known as
Mile. Sylvana Last season she sang
Gianetta in D'Oyly Carte's American
'Gondoliers" company, and this season
she has created a veritable sensation in the
London production of "Ivanhoe." Her
voice is singularlE pure and sweet.
