He DID NOT SUBSCRIBE
For the County Paper, but Signed
a Contract, which Turns up
as a $l60 Note,

Blanchester, o., April 26.-TEe
common combination of a farmer,
a stranger, contract and prom
promissory note turned up here
today.
George Moses, wealthy farmer
and poultry fancier, living two
miles from here, was visited yester-
day by stranger, who claims his
name as o. S. Eckstein, his home at
Baltimore, Md, and his business
as agent for stereopticons and views
for the same.
Moses, as he claims, signed a
written contract to take one of the
instruments for sl.50, the same to
be delivered at some future day.
After the agent left, however, he
became suspicious that all was not
right, and longed for the return of
the sheet which bore his autograph.
Eeing a semi-invalid, he sent his son
after the agent, who was overtaken,
but refused to give up the paper.
Moses then sent word to the banks
here to not cash any of his paper
should it turn up.
His suspicious were well found
ed. Last night and this morning
Eckstein tried to get several of our
business men to cash note for SI6O
that bore the genuine signature of
George Moses.
N. G. Ewing, to satisfy himself
of the genuineness of the signature,
took the note to the Merchants and
Farmers Bank. where he learned of
the warning Moses had sent to the
bank.
Eckstein was Immediately arrest
ed on suspicion of forgery, and
given hearing before Squire B. D.
Scott. The evidence was so strong
that he was bound over to court in
the sum of $500, and in default of
bail was taken to the county Jail.
Eckstein's defense is that he sold
Moses the county right of Pickway
county for the sale of the instru-
mcnts, and that Moses knew the
note was for sl6O.
Eckstein claims he is selling the
snstruments for Underwood and
Underwood, Baltimore, but that he
is selling county rights for Charles
Harris of Burlington, Ky, he being
the owner Of the State right of
Ohio.
The note has the appearance of
there having been writing erased
from its face.

THE SHOW TO-DAY.
It is Pronounced a Good One.

The show here today exhibited in
New Lexington on last Monday.
We take the following notice from
yesterdays New Lexington Herald:
A NOVEL Circus IN EVERY SENSE.
The show last Monday was the
best we have ever witnessed in our
town. Not with-standing the mud
dy streets, and the drenching rain
the parade was far beyond the
highest sunshine expectation and
particularly attractive and assuring
in the jolly good hnmor of the
company whose spirits neither the
gloom of the elements nor the few
on the line of parade, could evident
ly dull or discourage. They show
ed in the dismay to the spectators
of the deluge, that Mains show is
the best ever in New Lexington,
superior to any emergency of
weather and equal to any calinder
occasion. The circus performance
was novel and thrilling. The
horses are models of beauty and as
near perfection as possible in every
exercise performed. In the hub
deep mud of the track, the races ex--
celled in speed and spirit any time
dash We ever saw at county fair.
The actors were all SO good that it
would be envidious to mention
names. We hope the company
will visit us again and with the
mud of the Limerick bog we
plodded through to see 1t, yet on
us, commend the show to our
brethren of the press and the pub
lie generally, whether the tents are
pitched on Logan heights or the
hogs of New Lex ington's Limerick
flats.

Jay Gould May Die.

. For some time past threatening letters
have been received by the Gould family
which were evidently written by well
educated German. The writer was
evidently well acquainted with jay Gould's
career. The letters related incidents con-
nected with the partnership between Mr..
Gould and Jim Fisk ard their government
of the Erie railroad. They spoke OF an
accident on that road in which the writer's
father and mother were injured. for which
he demanded the sum of $40, 900. The
writer stated that if the $40, 900 was not
given up forthwith, MIR. Gould was liable
to be blown up in his Office or while walk
ing in the street or riding in his carriage.
The request was made that the money be
forwarded to a certain address in Canada,
hotel being mentioned there. The police
refused to talk.

FORAKER'S VICTORY.

The Republican State Convention
in Cleveland last week, ostensibly
called to nominate a state ticket,
but really to crush Foraker and his
followers, resulted in a complete
triumph of the young dynamo of
the Republican party. The con-
yention was packed assembly Of
post masters, Mckinley appointees
and Rothchild agents. The word
had gone out from the banking
houses of London and New York,
from the White House at Wash.
ington and the Chittenden at Colum-
bus, that Foraker must be crushed.
and his followers wiped out. Before
Foraker reached Cleveland his
forces were discouraged. They
were outnumbered two to one. The
edict had been proclaimed that
Foraker should not have recogui-
tion in the convention. 1t was a
polictical Winchester, and the
leader thrice twenty miles away.
A new born boy had come to For
aker home. The event was the
inspiration. The happy father be-
came the eager leader. His de-
claration was, 81 am for peace and
harmony and l will have it if /
must fight for it." Ihe result was
that the convention of his enemies
give him all he asked, half the state
delegation, Foraker and Bushnell;
conceding Sherman's Doodle dispen-
ser, Hahn, and Mckinley, out of
regard to the State of Ohio whose
governor be incideptly is.
1t was a great victory for the
Forakcrites, and presages i'll omen
TO the faction that attempted their
destruction as component parts of
che Republican party. The persons
nominated on the tickets are un-
known to the public, political dunn
sies set up for the frolicsome
Democracy to throw stones at, at
she fair in November,

The defense of NJ. B. Curtis, the actor,
who is accused of the murder of Police
man Grant, Of San Francisco, is in the
Lanls Of George A. Knight and w. w.
Fooie, two of the most skillful criminal
lawyers in the state. They ciain that
they will not only be able to prove Curtis
innocence. but to fasten tine crime On the
real culpr.t, who. they say. has been
known to the police department from the
start. Curtis was never in the habit OF
carrying revolver, and all effort to iden-
tify the weapon as his has failed. The
lawyers claim further that the police have
suborned witnesses. On the other hand,
