ier by the 32-Calibre Process.

Wood county is bloody.
And it has been bloody for many
years, one crime following close on to
another with persistent regularity.
For several months past the inhabi-
tants seemed contented with an ordln-
ary everyday cutting affray or two, or
exchange of shots, in all cases not nec-
essarily fatal. But such condition
could not last for long, and last Friday
the old status was ushered in with
most
Brutal Murder,
in which Albert Underdown gave up
his life at the call of an ugly looking
dirk in the hands of Richard Oriel.
Oriel lived at Kalida, o., and was
employed by Patterson in collecting
feathers to be renovated. He called at
Underdown's house late Thursday
night or early Friday morning and
Mrs. U. coming to the door he wanted
her to come out. She refused and the
husband hearing the conversation,
seized an old dirk and ran Oriel foot
race, who, it seems, was no sprinter and
Underdown soon overlook him. A
struggle ensued and Oriel was stabbed
five times, once through the heart.
During the fight both men were pre-
cipitated in ditch where the murderer
left his victim and, hunting up officers
gave himself up. He is now confined
in the Bowling Green Jail.
His cause for the murder was undue
intimacy which he claimed existed be-
tween the dead man and his wife.
The scene of the murder is just op-
posite the farm where Bach so brutally
hacked his wife to pieces years ago
with corn cutter, and for which at
rocity he expiated on the gallows at
Bowling Green.

to the rash act save fit of desponden.

There was time when Henry coun-
ty was somewhat prominent for its
numerous bloodsheds, but we have
long since thrown the undesirable
mantle Of such distinction over the
shoulders of Defiance and Wood, each
of whom is making vicious struggles to
manipulate the whole of said blanket.
They are both CORY fields, forsooth,
and one transacting business within
the borders of either domain had much

Can You Realize 7u1Ss2 4 sSs'

to realize a good thing after
you once get it, Many of
the failures that every day
crowd our newspapers and the
thousands of which we never
hear are due directly to igno-
rance in not knowing when
one is well off. Is it not so :?
How often do we see young
men surrounded by advantage
es-with every prospect of
a bright career, but who, it
seems, persistently, make dis
NAL failures We wonder
why. The cause is evident.
They are like the rolling rock
that. could accumulate no moss.
They are unlike the thou
sands of steady going people
in Henry and adjoining coun-
ties who have recognized, for
years, in Saur & Balsley's
Drug and Book Store a place
where it does we'll to tarry
and consider the best thing to
do for their own benefit.
And it has always been the
aim of this house to furnish
its customers with a stock
the extent of which will leave
no room for dissatisfaction
when a selection is once made.
1t is in their large salesrooms
that the customer finds the
largest and best assortment of
Drugs,
Books,
statioAary,
Patent Medicines,
Paper,
Paints,
Oils, and
Window
Shades
in the county.
In the several departments
mentioned it does seem that
the firm has made a speciality
there, SO complete is each line.
There are many reasons
why Saur & Balsley excel in
their line of business, among
which we note:
Their prescriptions are com.
pounded from the purest in
gradients obtainable;
Patent medicines, so help
full to many, are Of all endless
variety and all standard.
Their book and stationary
trade has always held its own
from the fact that they have
been fortunate in securing
just what you want. Books in
fiction, and of the arts, maya
zines, and monthly and week.
xly periodicals are found in this
department at lowest prices.
And now that the Holidays
are approaching, the counters
will be replete with articles Of
beauty as well as usefulness.
The paint and oil depart
ment has long since reached
such a degree of perfection
that it might properly be
termed a system. Any kind
of paint or oil in whatever
quantity can be secured at
once and at the lowest figure.
In wallpaper and window
shades many new styles and
plans have been introduced, all
of which this firm has express
J!y madeit a point to secure.

1t is somewhat difficult to give Gre
dence to the assertion but such is the
case: Several of our self-alleged lights
have so far frozen to chestnuts of the
past as to denounce with a mailed
hand the pastime and healthful recrea-
ton of dancing. 1T is iniquitous, un-
godly," they say, "and," in view of
the fact that charity ball is on tap,
"nobody who can in any way lay claim
to religion will dare countenance or
uphold the practice" And thus they
say, and at times for variation say the
same thing over. Of course logical
people who at all times figure on cause
and effect, no sooner note the above
biased and uncharitable effect, than
they cast about with a pond net in
search of the cause. They find that
said kickers are either SO Internally
bow-legged, their pedal extremeties
don't track, or they have oft tried the
seductive influence of the ball room
only to pose as an ever blooming wall
flower, and for either of the three
causes have eschewed the pleasure un-
der the guise ofrenouncing wickedness.
We have heard "40-and-over" maidens
denounce "those horrid menn in the
same intonation and for equally as tri.
fling, sour-grape cause. Outupon such

The one section north of the railroad that
Pollard. ct al, failed to secure was section
26 which will be worked by s. Wolff at an
average cost of 1-S cents per cubic yard.
On an average the big ditch sold for one
half that estimated. The reason for this low;
figure is that the greater part will be worked
with dredge. Nor will this process fail to
give the property owners an excellent ditch.
Work will be commenced at once and the
ditch completed within 15O days.
1t will be the largest water course in Hen
ry county excepting the canal and river, be-
ing 1S15 miles long, with the greatest depth
9feet and greatest width 45 feet.

gree of perfection.

A reporter of that paper was in Ma

complimentary notice written in a
happy train of thought that gives to
one readingi 1t better opinion of our
little world than heretofore held. The
result indeed was commendable in the
Commercial, save one feature. 1t un-
dertook to give cuts of General Scott
and Judges Meekison and Donnelly.
However laborious the effort on the
part of the artist, these alleged pictures
of the above gentlemen may have oc-
casioned, the results were most heart
rending. The cuts were evidently
hewn out of bass wood with a hatchet
down cellar after dark and to make
matters worse (if that were possible)
the compositor by mistake or pure
cussedness labelled Judge Meekison's
picture "Governor Scott" and vice
versa. We don't know whether it Is
the Judge or the Governor who is
looking after the Commercial man with

she didn't raise a peep. She grabbed

"An' yer expect me ter tell yer how

It's tradition with women, says the
New York Recorder, to become scared
merely at the mention of a burglar.
Perhaps if they only knew how to han
die burglar, and if scientific lnstruc-
ton in the art of burglar-capturing were
made public, women would get posses
sion of their faculties and meet all un-
lawful lntruders with self-possession.

against. That was the kind of man
who sat in the back room of little eat
