One More Unfortunate.

The tragic death of A. @. Mcdonald, Satur.
day, is but repetition of scenes intensely
narrowing, being enacted every day. Nc
Donald's appearance indicated that he was
one of some refinement and who had seen
better days. Papers on his person go to
show that he has mother somewhere, anx-
iously waiting intelligence of "her wander
ing boy,n little dreaming that he lies in
Potter's Field, "unwept, unhonored and un-
sung" And placed there without even a
prayer for Divine Clemency over his corse.
10 dump fello being in ahole and cover
him up thus-even as we would an old bundle
of shoes and rnbbish--is fearfully revolving
to the most crude sensibility. 1t seems to
us that some arrangements might have been
made for at least a semblance Of Christian
burial.

All the snarling, barking, obnoxious ours in

This city has an aspirant for parachute
honors in the person of Lewis Allbaugh, a
long haired and eccentric boy of 19summers
or thereabouts. 'Tis said, that he secured a
large umbrella and mounting the top of his
grand-mother's house, heroically jumped
off with colors flying. Only his flexible and
vigorous anatomy prevent him from giving
the doctors job reducing dozen or two
compound fractures. As it was, he was
badly bruised.

rattling good salesman in this town that

ployed, This salesman talks to more peo-
pie in Henry county in a day than many
statesmen do in year. He does work in
thousands of homes at the same time. His

To Eriend DIS of Education,

After nine years of successful manage
ment under the same president, the North
western Normal and Collegiate Institute of
Wauseon. o.. announce this year change.
While Prof. Metzler resigns the Office of
president of the faculty from choice, he still
retains his professorship and interest in the
school. There has been added to the faculty
a number of teachers who have had wide and
successful experience, and patrons can be
assured that no school is manned by a
stronger force, or by those who are SO
familiar with the needs of the rising gener-
ation. Their energies will be given to this
work, and nowhere else can students find
opportunities where 80 many advantages are
offered. Experienced teachers, modern
buildings, full line Of apparatus. right
minded community, spirit of progress,
coupled with expenses within the reach Of
all, form a combination of advantages
seldom offered the public.
This is a Christian institution. incor-
porated under the laws of the State of Ohio,
and is entirely undenominational in charac-
ter. 1t has for it's aims the better training
of teachers for the schools, the imparting
of useful knowledge, the foundation of cor
rect habits of thought aud life, the develop.
ment and culture of the intellectual, emo
tional and executive powers of the mind,
ending with good moral character and a
broad christian manhood.
We call especial attention to the following
facts: That we have employed none but the
most thoroughly qualified and efficient
teachers for all lines of work. that our teach
ers use no "cramming" process, but re-
quire the most thorough work; that
students can enter at any time
and take up any studies for which they are
prepared.
Trusting we may have the pleasure Of your
enquiries, we remain,
Most respectfully yours,
w. w. WHAyER, President,
tf Wauseon.

STRIVING HARD.
To Have VanLoon Pardoned or Sen
4. tence Committed.

. tence Committed.
E. L. De Witt, who is conducting the case
of Frank VanLoop, the murderer before the
State Board of Pardons. visits him in the an
ports that he is bearing up we'll as the time
of his execution draws near, and seems to
believe that he will secure Communication of
his sentence. AS for himself, Mr.. De Witt
said, he felt that he had good case. and if
he could take it before jury he felt sure
that his petition would be granted.
Certain members of the Board of Pardons
hold that the board has no. right to review
the work of the courts, and can only take
cognizance of new evidence discovered since
the last court passed upon the case. Other
wise, they say, the law would require that
members of this board be lawyers. To this
Mr.. De Witt answers that jurors are not
lawyers and they pass upon similar questions.
He will preface his argument next Monday
with an exposition of the duties of the board
and the purposes of its establishment, in
which he will hold that the board has right
to review the evidence and pass upon the
question of whether it warrants the verdict
and the sentence.
He will claim that this is in fact the very
purpose for which it was created. His prin-
cipal point of attack upon the evidence of
State will be the Identification of VanLoon
by the prosecuting witness. He will point
out that not only did Cashier Maple once
identify man other than VanLoop as the
murderer, but the description of the murder
er written by him is not description Of
VanLoon at all. De Witt declares that the
strongest evidence against VanLoon was
that money was taken from the Columbus
Grove Bank and VanLoon had a considerable
sum immediately afterward- AN unusual
thing for him.

There will be no more county examina-

DEATH ON the RAIL!
OFT Told Tale Of a Tramp and
Whisky Bottle.
A. c. Mcdonald Found Dead, West Of
Napoleon.

Early Saturday morning as the switcnman
of the Wabash was making bis rounds he
discovered the body of a man in semi up
night position on the timber supporting the
cattle guard where the road crosses Wash
ington street.
The body was within few inches of the
rail and the only conclusion to be arrived at
is that he was asleep so close to the track
that some projection of the west bound mid.
night freight struck him in the back of the
head causing instant death.
His head hung over the timber and bled
profusely on the sand beneath where lay his
hat and whisky bottle half full.
Authorities were at once notified and the
body conveyed to Bitzer's morgue where ii
was laid out and subjected to the gaze OF
hundreds of inquisitive eyes.
From papers found on his person it was
ascertained that no was member of the
Painters Union at Hartford City, Ind.
He was in town Friday visiting with
friends. having worked here two years ago
at his vocation for Lee Parker, Geo. McCol-
ley and others.
When last seen Friday night he was in a
hopeless state of into1ication headed toward
the west on foot. He had expressed himself
the day previous as intending to go to
Hicksville that evening, and as he said
hehad soms tw enty-dve dollars, there
was no other supposition than that he would
take the cars. However it seems he blew
his money in for drink during the day and
left town in a strapped condition as no
money whatever was found on his body.
He was a young man, probably thirty
years old, and withal good looking and fine
ly dressed. An examination of his body
showed deep cash in the back of his head;
the face and body bruised, while the cramp-
ed position indicated broken back.

from the older ones, among whom they
mlngle that will bring sorrow to their par
ents in after years. If parents do pot take
interest enough in their children to keep
them off the street the authorities should.

FACTORY BURNED.
Ill Luck Still Attending a Defiance

The fire originated in the dry kiln and
rapidly spread to the main building. The
loss, which is from $4,000 to $4,000, less
about $1,000 insurance, will fall on the CAL
win estate.
The first National Bank at Defiance is IN
terested in the stock produced by the mill
and but little of that was lost.
