from, pursued the drummer, looking
out the window. ''Here today found

HAD A SWEET TOOTH.

Wednesday one of L. D. Saylor's
hired men found hear his farm along
side the Omaha track a box of about
300 pounds of chocolate pipe candy.
The box was undoubtedly taken
from freight car, as it was marked
from firm in New York to parties
in Oregon. But nothing has yet come
to light in this respect. The box had
been broken open, but very little of
the contents were missing. 1t is sup
posed to be the work of tramps who
probably thought they had hold of
a box of clothing. When found, the
box was covered up with some. hay.
Deputy Sheriff Phillips on being no
titled drove out after the box and
brought it in, and turned the same
over to the Omaha officials this after
noon.

sible. Mr.. Russell objects to the
word especially as used in connection
with the levy for the county fund. [
assert that the word was used advised
ly to emphasize the fact that this fund,
above oil others in every county in
Ohio, is the fund that requires su-
perlative skill and ripe judgment to
manage and operate in the interest of
the taxpayers in these degenerate
and extravagant times. so far removed
and different from the simplicity of
the log cabin era. These are the
times of great promise and little per-
formance, and as every officer in ev-
cry court house in Ohio, from turret
to foundation stone, makes his own
record as to compensation demanded
for services rendered and supplies
used, he should be held responsible
as the servant of the people and com
mended or condemned according to
the merit or demerit of his service,
and the commissioner should neither
be applauded for his merit nor CEN
sured for his demerit. Let every man,
officer or citizen, who receives money
from the county treasury answer for
himself. Mr.. Russell also, on two oc-
casions, uses the word frantic in
speaking of the desire of the commits
sloners to transfer surplus funds to
pay the unbonded Indebtedness of
the county fund. That surely is a
very inappropriate word for man
of Mr.. Russells mental caliber to use
in that connection, being in full pos
session Of the fact, as he surely is.
that section 878 of the revised stat
utes OF Ohio authorizes the commits
s1oners OF any county to transfer
funds without any anxiety whatever,
but 1T is still mooted question as to
whether the court house will require
an entire new roof or whether it can
be repaired with less expense accord
ingly and make q good roof. If it
will require new roof then the word
frantic in that connection will surely
be obsolete.
In conclusion allow me to say that
in this and each former statement |
have aimed to keep within the bounds
of truth as found in the records, by
which | am willing to be judged. |
have no desire to evade, conceal or
leave out anything for the purpose of
misleading the people in the interest
OF any party or otherwise. / believe
that every officer who assisted in the
management of this bonded debt,
from alpha to omega, did the very
best he could under the circumstance
es, and two of the commissioners who
assisted in refunding the bonds of 1890
also assisted in the issue of the bonds
of 1898. | have no desire to misrep-
resent, censure or condemn any Off
Ger present or past, but am very de-
sirous to unite with every officer and
citizen in the county in the adoption
of the swiftest, most successful and
economic method of paying the
county debt and meeting current ex-
penses with the lowest possible levy
consistent with honest Compensation
for services actually rendered.
Very respectfully submitted,

A Short Story,

The Bull Dog Club had quite an
experience on their return drive from
Holgate Sunday, where they had
taken Jim Allen to catch the b & O
for his California trip. When about
five miles out of Holgate near the
Knipp farms, a little girl called to
them from the side of the road, but as
it was dark no attention was paid to
her. The little tot however ran after
the buggy and wanted them to stop.
They asked her where she lived and
she said Holgate, and from answers
to other questions, the boys made out
she had lost her way. 1t seems she
lived near Holgate and had gone to
Sunday school in the afternoon. Her
usual way home after school was
down the railroad track, but heI
young companions frightened her so
by telling about snakes they had seen
going that way that she took anoth.
er path home and got lost. The boys
kindly turned around and took the
little girl, who turned out to be Liz.
zie Gottwald, back to Holgate. Her
parents were getting anxious about
her and a search party was just be-
ing organized when the Club drove
up with their find.

A Child Lost,

On Saturday, April 1st, child was
reported lost. After some excitement
and quite little search, the mother
found it in Saur & Balsley's Drug
and Book Store looking at the beau
tiful patterns of wall paper. Many
older people find livery interesting to
spend an hour or two in looking over
this stock, for the reason that 80
many of the patterns are novel and
entirely new. Any one who expects
or intends to have any papering
done, will surely make a great mis-
take if they fail or neglect to exam
inc the papers at this house and at
the same time get the low prices at
which they are being sold. Hundreds
of rolls are being carried away this
spring by those who have taken the
timely warning.

From Toledo to Europe.

The first shipment Of corn direct
from Toledo to Europe is being made
this week. Eight Canadian vessels
will carry the shipment, and 1t is in
tended to ship about 5000, 900 bushels
of corn in this way this spring. And
in the early part Of the summer it is
expected that about 8, 100000 bushels
of wheat will be taken to, Europe in
the same way. 1t is believed grain
shipments direct from the port of To
ledo to Europe will be profitable, and
why it should not be is past under
standing. But why is it that Canadi.
an vessels carry the grain instead OF
American vessels2 That is a condi-
ton of things which should not be.
