Call and Sign It.

Albert A. Pope, of Boston, Mass, is at
the head of a movement for better roads
in this country. Mr.. Pope thinks right
ly that no form of public improvement
would be of greater profit to the citizens.
He proposes that the next Congress shall
be petiticned to found in the city of
Washington, a Road Department, simi-
lar to the Agricultural Department, for
the purpose of promoting knowledge in
the art of constructing and maintain
ing roads, and that in such department
provision be made for teaching students
so that they may become skilled road en-
gineers. Petitions to this effect will be
circulated and signatures obtained all
over the country. A copy may be seen
at this Office, and all persons in favor of
the plan are invited to call, inspect the
petition, and sign it. The object is en-
tirely worthy, and should meet with
general response.

Miss M. c. Ryan, fermer teacher in

loved by her many old pupils, wrote re-
Gently from Phillipsburg, Mont, where
she is now teaching, asking for aid in
establishing church at that place
Some of the good ladies of this place took
the matter in hand, and as result, box
was sent to Miss Ryan, Monday, filled
with articles which might be turned
into money at the fair to be held by Miss
Ryan and her associates to raise the
needed funds There was beautiful
crochet work, exquisite and artistic
needle work, dainty hand-painted work
in fact a most wonderful box of the
products of that delicate wOmanly dex
terity of hand, which men know little of
except to admire. In addition there " as
something which the man might better
appreciate and to which he might con-
tribute-namely, check for some S44,
and handsome gold watch. 1t is safe
to say that those who generally gave of
their time and means in assisting to pre-
pare this box will be amply repaid by the
qualification of their old friend. and the
consciousness of having aided good
cause.

FOR THE DEFENDANT.
A Jury Does Not Rely on Expert
Testimony,
And Declares for the Defendant in the Case
of Baily Against Taggart-More
Money Needed.

The suit of Eli Bailey to recover from
W. 5. Taggart and John Taggart on a
promissory note for $500, came up in
Common Pleas Court OH Monday. The
case hinged on the genuineness of the
signature of John Taggart, and as there
are several other notes of similar char
acter outstanding, considerable interest
was manifested in the outcome of the
trial. 1t will be remembered that VS..
Taggart disappeared just prior to the
time his insolvency became known, and
has not since been heard Of Upon the
trial John Taggart testified pointedly
that he had never signed the Bailey note,
and declared his signature forgery, but
admitted his signature to be genuine on
two or three other notes. Experts were
put upon the stand, and by comparing
the signature on the Bailey note with
those admitted to be genuine, the almost
unanimous opinion was expressed by
these gentlemen that the signature on
all was written by the same hand. Still,
the jury did not agree with this view of
the case. and returned verdict for the
defendant John Taggart. The verdict
may have an important bearing on the
other notes in which forgery is charged
by those whose name; appear On the

to change the dates of that event from
February 9th and 9TH. as before an
nounced, to February 10Th and Eth. 1t
was decided also to turn over the fore
noon of the second day to the ladies, al
lowing them to conduct the exercises,
and to take full charge of the program.
This feature has been tried at other
places, notably at Flushing last year, and
has proved of much profit and interest.
Further arrangements for an attractive
program were made, and will be an
nounced later.

Quite q Change.

The following is quoted as coming from
w. X. Elson, of the Elson Glass works, of
Martins Ferry;
"The eight weeks Immediately preced-
ing the election business was the best in
the history of our works, and we were
unable to keep abreast of our orders.
The change in trade since the election is
alarming. Since November 10 we have
ceived only few orders, scarcely enough
to run one pot. We look for dull win
ter, owing to the lack of confidence on
on the part of dealers. They will buy
only Oh the hand to mouth plan. A
reduction in the tariff will hurt us
and wages will go down. l greatly de-

The May Davenport Burlesque Come
dy Company we're to have played at the
Court House Hall at this place, Tuesday
night. They had sent for date and en-
gagged the Hall for that night. When
they appeared in town Tuesday after
noon. however, the decidedly disreputa-
BILE character of their advertising matter,
and the racy, free and-easy way in which
they took possession of things, caused
the authorities to decide not to allow the
performance to proceed. Accordingly
there was no show. The members of the
company talked about law for violation
of contract, and so forth, but nothing
was done, aud they took nights rest,
leaving next morning.

$50 600 More Neaded.

1t is now estimated by some persons
that an additional levy of 5000 will be
required to complete the Pultney town
ship pixies. If this shall prove to be true
there will no doubt be some tall kicking
by the tax payers of the township as it was
given out by what was considered relia-
BILE authority at the time the pike prOpo
sition was being agitated that the i'm
proved roads would not cost above the
first sum provided Tor, $4,000. Last
spring an additional sum of $1,000 was
granted by the Legislature, and these
added to the estimated $4,000 will swell
the total cost to $4,000 about SS,C0
per mile. besides what the county pays

a Peach Seed.

Doubtless some of the funny things in
Harper's Drawer" are fiction. But some
occurrences which are actual and literal
facts, equal any of the efforts of fiction.
We give one on prominent preacher of
Cadiz. He was attending wedding fes
tivities, and was telling of an occasion, at
a wedding, where the supper was delayed,
and he was so terribly hungry, that he
swallowed a peach seed. At another
wedding he was telling the incident,
when sharp-featured maiden, with
voice like cat fight, asked him, "Did
you recover it 2" Our informant failed
to record the answer. As the preacher
is a bashful man we had not the courage
to ask him what the answer was. We are
dealing in facts.-Serati'ael.

WILLIAM NJ. WILKINS
Net with Fatal Accident by Falling Down
Stairs.

Stairs.
The unfortunate accident which befell
Wm NJ Wilkins Thursday evening ended
fatally Friday afternoon. He was going
across the new steel bridge Thursday
evening to his home on the Island, and
had started down the steps at the west
end of the bridge, when he slipped, lost
his balance and fell to the bottom of the
steps, receiving such injuries as to render
him unconscious. A pedestrian coming
along half an hour later found him lying
insensible where he had fallen. When
assistance had been called he was taken
to nearby residence, where physician
examined him, finding that though no
bones were broken, the old gentleman
was badly shaken up and bruised, injuries
that in one so old would -ssibly be fatal.
1t was over an hour before he recovered
consciousness. Though conscious, he
never fully recovered from the shock and
gradually faded away, dying Friday aft
ternoon.
The Wheeling Intelltgencer says of
him: "The old gentleman, popularly
known as Dad Wilkins, was character
in this community, and was probably
known TO everybody, man, woman and
child in the city. He was Mexican war
veteran, one of the few survivors of that
struggle in this section. Nothing suited
him better to gather around him party
of good company of listeners, and re-
count to them the deeds of Zach Tay-
lor, Winfield Scott and the other Mexi
can heroes.
By occupation, he was currier, and
for fifty years has worked in the tannery
business. For many years he has been
in the employ of the John G. Hoffman Il
Sons company, the well known tannery
firm"
Mr. wilkins was born this place, and
worked here at his trade as tanner for
number of years. Forty years ago he
went from here to the Island. His age
was about 20 years. He was a second
cousin of r. NJ Wilkins, and was related
by marriage to others in this place and
vicinity.
The remains were brought here Mon
day, and inferred in the NJ E. Cemetery.
