Ran His Own Case.

Aleck Taylor and Bob Simpson had
some trouble one day last week and the re-
suit for Bob was badly swollen jaw and
a pair of broken spectacles. Aleck was ar
rested and had hearing before Mayor
Kennon. Saturday night, The prosecu-
ton was represented by H. T. Shepherd,
ESQ.,, while Aleck acted as his own attor-
ney. There was much amusement in the
court room, at his apt questions and his
ready management of the case. The
testimony was evenly divided. Bob
proved that Aleck was the aggressor,
and Aleck showed that he had only acted
in self-defense. The Mayor decided that
the affair was of too serious nature for
him TO decide, and he therefore recog
nized the accused to the Probate Court
in the sum of $50 Bail was furnished
and Aleck was released.

The President took trip of "a hours
over to New York last week, and the
newspapers all raised the cry at once
that the President was off on trip for a
surgical operation of some kind Secre-
tary and Mrs. Lamont were with him,
and the Secretary, as we'll as DR.. Bryant,
with whom the party visited, denied that
the President was ill in any way, and as
they all attended an opera in the even
ing, after which the President took the
train for Washington, it seemed as
though they knew what they were talk
ing about. The President is looking
well and hearty, and states that his trip
to New York was simply to look after
some private business. No one has ever
been able to interview the President on
the results of the recent elections. He
does not seem to be in the least annoyed
at the result, and many think that he is
not sorry to see Dave Hill get such set

TaRrart Convicted.

The case of the State against W. s.
Taggart, indicted for forgery. was heard
in Common Pleas Court ON Thursday Of
last week. The offense for which Taggart
was tried was the forgery Of the name Of
DR.. l. G. Cope to note. A great deal OF
expert testimony was introduced and
this was largely against Taggart. The
jury after being out a few hours returned
averdict Of guilty. On Monday a motion
for new trial was argued and overruled
by the court and Taggart was sentenced
to21S years in the penitsntiary. In his
own testimony Taggart claimed that he
lost control of himself when he ran away
and that after leaving st. Clairsville he
knew nothing until he found himself In
Baltimore. He, Of course, claimed the
signatures were genuine, but said he
knew that he was ruined, and could not
stand the disgrace of a financial failure
and the trouble it would cause his friends,
and because of this he ran away.

Lecture Course.

The lecture course for the coming
winter has been arranged and will en-
brace the following attractions: Old
Homestead Quartette, Hon. J. II. Little
field, Jehu Dewitt Miller, ]. Brooks
Emerson and Col. Copeland. The course
promises to be better than any that we
had recently and is worth many times
what it will cost. As it stands there will
be one concert, three lectures and j..
Brooks Emerson will recite from his own
poems. Our people should show their
appreciation of the efforts of the gentle
men who have the course in charge and
aid in making the undertaking financial
success, as it certainly will be success
from other points of view.

Hunters.

Hunters are improving the time during
which they may pursue the quail. But
there are exceedingly few of these succu-
lent birds anywhere hereabouts this year.
No sportsmen are seen returning with
the well-filled bags of several years back.
Rabbits, also, are few. Squirrels were
far more frequent this year than last,
owing no doubt to the heavy crop of mast
and nuts offered them in this region.

to know that Judge CASTOR, after the

which were genuine and introduced as
testimony in the case. The Doctor de-
clared the bogus receipt good one.

Glance Around.

The Eclectic Medical Journal says that
in the continued use of the eyes, in such
work as sewing, typesetting, bookkeep-
ing, reading, and studying, the saving
point is looking up from the work at
short intervals and looking around the
room. This may be practiced every ten
or fifteen minutes. This relieves the
muscular tension, rests the eyes, and
makes the blood supply much better.

CONVENTION.
TIE County W. c. T. U. Hold a Semi
Annual Meeting.

The county convention of the W0man's s
Christian Temperance Union was held in
the Presbyterian church on Thursday at
the appointed hour, 10 A. N. The pro-
gram had been SD well filled that one or
two necessary omissions, on account of
tn. absence of some of the delegates, did
not detract from the interest of the oc-
casion. Discussions on different lines of
work, and reports from local Unions
were heard in the afternoon. Although
but six months since the last convention,
the reports showed creditable progress in
the different departments of the work.
The election Of officers was next. Mrs.
Alberts, of Bridgeport, was elected
President, and Mrs. Mary +. Springer, of
Bridgeport, Corresponding Secretary.
Among the other officers elected, Mrs.
DR.. r. J. Alexander was made Superin-
tendent Of Jail and Prison work, Mrs.
Geo. E. Rossiter. Superintendent of Sci
entifc and Temperance Instruction, and
Miss Emma Woodway. Superintendent
Of Fair work. 1t was decided by vote
that the convention be held but once
year, and on invitation the next conven-
ton will be held at Colerain.
In the evening the report from the
Superintendent of Jail and Prison work
was read by Mrs. Alexander, who also, on
request, talked of alcoholism. The re-
port from our local Evangelist, Mrs.
BENZ. Dickey, was given. Mrs. Mary
Trueman Springer, of Bridgeport, enter
tanned the audience with her lecture,
"The Wimmin Folks" Mis-. Springer
spoke of her remembrance of her child
hood in this place. She is good speaker
and handles her subject in a way which
shows the interest she feels in the uplift-
ing of mankind. She has her facts care
fully gathered and they are indisputable
Mr.. Fred Dickerson, of the Flushing
Quartette, was secured to sing during
the convention. He, together with choir
from this place, furnished good temper
ance songs. Miss Alice Edgerton also
favored the audience with a solo in the
evening. Mr.. Dickerson also gave an
recitation.
