TA-TA HATTIE.
May Your Associations at the T. s
Y. BE OF a RefOrmatory Nature.

Hattie Humes has long been terror to
the thinking and decent portion Of Napo-
Icons society. She has oft puckered her
lovely mouth and with a coy toss of her
saucy head asserted that the officials of this
town dare not arrest her, because she knew
too much and had the proclivity Of telling
what she knew, in the line of embellish-
ments, etc.
But Hattie could not do what Napoleon
failed in. We all have Waterloo and in
many cases il is just around the corner
while we, poor animals of fate-and dyspep-
sia-knov it not.
Such was the blissful ignorance of the fair
Hattie, who swoke one morning to find her
self arrested under two indictments.
She plead guilty to both, and after the
prison bars stood between her and liberty
she was of course robbed of the opportunity
to tell those interesting points regarding our
linen folks"
After remaining in Jail a week Judge
Handy sum moned her before the bar of JUS
tice and with a little scathing prelude gave
her 800 fine and 80 days for selling liquor in
house of ill-fame, and 50 days for keeping
said house of iniquity.
She will in all probability pay the fine but
the SO days of hard labor she can not escape.

MOST UNNATURAL!
And Brutal is Andrew Middle
ton as a Father.
The Animal Caught and Awaits His
Trial Behind the Bars Of the Full
ton County Jail.

Last April the NORTHWEST published an
exclusive account of the beastly proclivities
of one Andrew Middleton, who lived in Full
ton county. He shortly before had lit out
for Canada, well knowing the fruits OF the
righteous indignation of an honest popu-
lace.
Ever since the officers have kept a wealth
er eye on him and his whereabouts, and on
Thursday his capture was made at the Tole-
do Insane Asylum by two Toledo detectives,
and he was turned over to Sheriff Connell,
who conveyed him to the Wauseon Jail.
Following is the tale of his fearful crime:
Middleton lived on farm in Fulton coun-
ty with his wife and five children. On the
23d of April his wife showed signs Of insani-
~ and was removed to the county infrmary
preparatory to coming to the Toledo asylum.
In some manner Middleton contrived to be
with her alone in the infrmary and trans
mitted to her loathsome disease which he
had contracted in Toledo. ....
"His eldest daughter was eight years old
and after his wife came to Toledo he sent
the child to W. B. Overmeyer of Henry
county. She had not been there very long
when Mrs. Overmeyer discovered the child
to be suffering from some serious disorder.
A physician examined the girl and confirmed
her suspicions. The child was suffering from
the same complaint as the father and moth
er.
"They then ques toned the child and che
admitted that while at home her father took
her to the barn and threatening to whip her
if she ever breathed word, attempted to
outrage her. He made the attempt several
times but failed. She also stated that some
time later while taking herself and two
brothers to her aunt's, he left the two boys
in a lonely part of the woods, and taking her
into another section, accomplished his he'll.
Iish purpore. It was then the little girl
contracted the disease.
Middleton Immediately skipped to Can
ada, when by writing him that his wife was
better and ready to go home he was captured.
He came to Toledo and while at the
asylum was arrested by Detectives O'Brien
and Kruse."
The case was up for hearing Saturday and
the prisoner waving examination was
bound over to Common Pleas Court. He
failed to give bail and the granite wall of
the Fulton county Jail surrounds his dast-
ardly form of the trodden clay:

WARNER WEATHER TODAY.
Tho Snow Will Melt and . Rise in tho
Rivers Will Follow.

The Snow Will Melt and Rise in the
Rivers Will Follow.
The indications point to warmer weather
for to-day, and the Signal Service authori-
ties say that the recent snowstorm is likely
to be the last of the season, although they
say there will yet be traces of snow during
April. Three inches and half of snow
fell during the recent storm. Last year
about the same amount of snow fell on the
2oth of March, while nearly six inches of
snow fell early in April
A sudden thaw now, it is said by the
Weather Bureau men, will likely bring a
freshet at least in the rivers The reports
show that four inches of snow fell at the
headwaters of the Allegheny, while five
inches of snow fell at Morgantown and other
points at the headwaters of the Mononga-
hela river Should the snow melt suddenly
a marked rise in the rivers would follow,
but it is said there are no dangers from q
food as there is not enough snow to cause
any serious trouble.
The recent snow came from the extreme
southwest, and at many points along its
path the fall was wonderfully large. At
Roup, in Texas, ten inches OF snow fell.
The indications are that fair weather will
follow the clearing up which is to begin
to-day.

ARRANGING FOR TRACK ROOM.
Eastern Delegations Will Sleep in Their
Cars at Minneapolis.

Eastern Delegations Will Sleep in Their
Cars at Minneapolis.
George w. Boyd, Assistant General
Passenger Agent of the Pennsylvania road,
passed through the city last evening bound
for Minneapolis. He was going there' to
see about track room for Pullman
cars during the Republican Convention.
He said the motel accommodations would
not be sufficient and the Eastern delegations
are making arrangements to sleep in their
cars. This is the only way out of the diff
Guilty. From the inquiries he receives Mr.
Boyd thinks the usual crowd will be at the
convention.
Gas for the Worlds Fair" he continued,
s'the attendance will certainly be very
large, if the financial condition of the
country is good. About the time of the
Centennial the western people were suffer-
ing from the effects of the Jay Cook failure,
but rather than miss the show a great
many borrowed the money. 1 expect
we will have our hands full to
handle the traffic. The eastern people
will go West, and the westerners
will visit New York and the Eastern re-
sorts before they return home. The in
quiries from Europe about the Fair indi-
cate that the foreign travel will be very
heavy. The various passenger associations
are now figuring on the excursion rates. I
think it will be put at $50 for the round
trip between New York and Chicago, tickets
good for the entire summer and on all trains.
Of course there will be any number OF spe-
cial excursions at popular rates, tickets
limited to 10 days, or short period. The
regular fare between New York and Chi
cago is $40 for the round trip"

HUNTING FOR HEIRS.

The Widow OF John McKeown in ireland
Hunting for His Rslatlves-Believed That
the Full Text OF tho viii Was Never
Made Public.
A dispatch from Dublin says that much
interest has been excited in Newry by the
arrival there of Mrs. John McKeown, Of
Washington, Pa, who, with solicitor, is
searching for relatives of her deceased hus-
band Mr.. McKeown left large fortune.
MI. McKeown died at his home in WASH
ington about 18 months ago. Since his
death one of his sons was accidentally
drowned.
Mr.. McKeown was born in Ireland and he
come to this country poor. He was
courageous oil speculator and amassed
large fortune, but had many ups and downs
in the world before he become wealthy.
A dispatch from Washington, Pa, says:
For some time past it has been believed
here that the full text of the will of John
McKeown, the seven times millionaire, has
never been published. 1t was we'll known
that he had come over here poor Irish
Ireland, and when he prospered and
grew rich, he sent money across to
his relatives, but for some reason
never visited them, nor did he ever receive
a visit from them. The closest friends of
the millionaire oil operator rarely heard
him refer to his family, and when he died
it was believed all his immense wealth had
been left to his own immediate family.
Since then, however, it is known there
were other bequests of which no mention
was made Mrs McKeown, the widow Of
the oil man, has every now and again sent
money orders and checks abroad, most or
all of them being directed to some
one member of the family named
McKeown. While Mrs. McKeown is we'll
known and respected here, having many
friends, she said nothing to anyone about a
contemplated trip to ireland. 1t has been
believed all along that she was in New
York, but it is learned tonight that she has
sailed for the Old Country. This is pre-
sumably in pursuance of some expressed
wish of her husband, that she hunt up his
relatives, and give to them some portion of
the many millions he left behind.

Had Money Enough for a Better Bed,

A drunken man was arrested last night
while sleeping on the slack pile at the Black
Diamond works. Upon being searched at
the station house S5O7 20 in money was

chain of an old-fashioned style. He had an
