abrupt manner and informed as of
the fact that he was an occasional
visitor to our town, and at the same
time very peremtorily demanded to

that possibly if he would walk into
the office, our chief devil might get
his picture. high top boots and all.
He ventured to. put his handsome
phisiognomy in the entrance of the

! Tho Daily Sentinel publishes the fol-
lowing rather peeuliar sort OF a story
about robbery that Is reported ~
having recently happened:
On Saturday last g. II. Griner, SON.
inlaw to Dsnis. Mercer, with his wife,
drove 10 Slmsrla, Mich, just over the
line, to collect soma money duo to Mr..
Mercer from Mr.. Crimes father, who
now lives at that place, though former
ly resident Of Webster township,
Wood county. There wore two Retes
of 5000 each, with interest. The money
to pay the notes old Mr.. Griner had In
two envelopes, $500 in one and $672 In
the other. These he gave G. r., who
says he put them In an inside pocket
Of his coat and pinned tho top OF the
pocket shut.
On Monday morning g. II. GriHer
and wife set out for home, accompanied
by the formers father, who concluded
to come down on visit. All three
rode in one seat OF buggy as far as
Perrysbdrg, where the elder Griner
took the train the balance OF the dis
tance. G. r. and wife arrived home
about p. m, having stopped nowhere
except to water the horses Mt Maumee.
Clarence saw Mr.. Mercer shortly
after his arrival and told him to come
over after a while and he and his father
would fix that financial matter up. Ac-
cordingly Mr.. and Mrs. Mercer went
over to Q. K. Griner's, only short dis
tance away, and visited with the family
an hour or so, and finally went home,
no settlement having been made owing,
we believe it is' claimed, to the pres
ence OF other friends; but it was un-
derstood that G. B. should go to Mr..
MERGERS shortly after and fix the mat.
ter.
Scarcely had Mr.. and Mrs. Mercer
arrived at home when CIR. Griner and
wife went tnere in great perturbation
OF mind, showing a cut made in both 8
macintosh and an under coat Mr.
Griner had worn on the trip, just al
the right point to cut of the bottom o
the pocket which had contained the
two envelopes of money. They an
nounced that the money was gone, and
that it must have been made to disap
pear through the cut in the coats.
Mr.. Griner says that when he gol
home he took off his coats and hung
them up in bedroom and did not ex
anime tho contents until at the time
he went to so over to Mr.. MERGERS tc
settle.

Open the Fair.

Some very good Christian people
who rejoice in the freedom to worship
God, and conscientiously believe in al
lowing other people the same privilege.
and also believe that each person
should be accountable to God alone rs
regards the forms of Sabbath worship,
are somewhat amused ut The recent
struggles ut Chicago regarding tn
closing OF the Worlds Fair on Sun.
day.
1t is feared that the Christian people
who have been so very anxious that
the gates be closed as to bend all their
energies and influence that way, will
yet rue their folly.
OF course their primary object was
to shield what they suppose to be 8
Christian institution from public desc
Grafton, and to show to tho represents /.
tives OF all nations the high regard
Americans have fer the Sunday. But
the propriety OF submitting any ques-
tion that iRyolves conscientious scru
pies to a lot of greedy politicians or
commissioners is questioned.
II Sunday should be sacredly OBJ
served, why should it not bo left to
each visitor at the fair to choose for
himself whether or not TO observe the
day?
Should man be forced to do some
thing that he has not enough Chris
tian principle to do? II SO, would he
be the better after the forcing? Ssme
think it would take a Torquemado to
tell.
Americans are not ALL ready for the
inquisitiou.
