ALARGE FUNERAL

Yesterday,

Was That of the Late Mitchell waaden,
Yesterday.
The remains of the late Mitchell Wad-
dell, who was one Of the oldest and most
respected citizens Of Ohio county, were
inferred at the Short Creek cemetery,
yesterday morning, the remains being
accompanied to their last resting piece
by a very large number OF the relatives,
neighbors and friends OF the deceased.
There were probably over one hundrsd
yehiclesjn the funeral cortege, besides
a very cohsfderauTe nnnuer or nurse-
men. The funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. Moses Marling, pastor
OF the u. p. Church at Roney's Point,
assisted by Rev. c. j. Trippett, pastor
of the Nj. Z. Church at West Ii berty,
and Rev. j. c. Garvey, pastor OF the
Presbyterian Church at West Liberty.
Mr.. Waddell was widely and favor
ably known, and was related TO many
of the best families Of this city. He
was seventy-nine years OF age, and had
been mem Der Of the United Presbyte-
rian church for more than half a CEN
fury. He was born in this county, In
the Short Creek neighborhood, and
passed all his life ia that vicinity. He
was the last Of eleven children. Four
children survive him, two sons being in
this city. A daughter is the wife OF Sam

Both Telephone and Telegraph, Cum
bering the Streets of the city.
Although the underground system Of
the Central Telephone Company has
been iD operation for some months the
work of removing the poles and wires
from the streets has been proceeding at
a most eisurely rate, and il the com
pany is left to its own devices 1t may be
the end of the year before Main,
Market and other streets in ia e
business portion OF the city are
freed from the very consid-
cradle number OF tree trunks now
strung along the sidewalks. Nor is the
Telephone Company the only offender.
There are number Of old telegraph
poles, bearing a brave array Of dead"
wires, standing in the streets, and they
ought TO be weeded out without further
delay by the proper city authorities.
The city has the right to run wires in
the conduit Of the Telephone Company,
and Council ought TO set a good pie
by putting the fire alarm wires under
ground in the conduit district. The ex-
pense would be trifling, nd the benefits
many, some Of them accruing to the fire
department.

Der that in Saturday mornings issue
there appeared an account OF a visit OF
horse thief to the stable Of B. I.
Curran, who lives on Long Run in this
county, and the removal from the
premises OF a mare belonging TO Mr..
Curran. The matter was reported 10
Chief OF Police McNichol, of this city,
and about one hundred postal cards
were sent out to the authorities OF all
the neighborlng towns. asking that o
lookout be kept for the thief. No
trace of the rascal was discovered until
about one o'clock yesterday morning,
when man named James Bow
man recovered the missing
animal in a somewhat re
markable manner. Mr.. Curran
called at police headquarters yesterday
with Mr.. Bowman, end the latter re-
lated his adventure which ended 10 the
recovery of the animal. Mr.. Bowman
said he was passing along the pike In
the neig borhood OF the Bethany pike,
about one o'clock yesterday morning
when he saw two strangers, one of whom
rode a mule and the other Mr.. Curran's
stolen mare, but the man riding the
animal resisted, and it was only after
the liveiest kind OF skirmiSh that
Bowman secured the property. During
the controversy the fellow on the horse
made an effort to end Bowman's career
by stabbing him with knife, but
fortunately the blow fell short and only
cut BowmsD'S coat and vest. Bowman
did not recognize either OF the parties,
and the man on the mule seems TO have
taken no part In the trouble.

TALKS WITH A coNJURER.
Avn Hour WIN KelIer.

From Home and Century, New York;
You describe the trick very WE'LL said
Professor Kellar, smiling blandly. And
now for the explanation. In the first
place, the lemon is a prepared one. The
pulp has been removed and a handker-
chief inserted, and the plug replaced and
fastened by wire. The naturalization Of
the lemon is simply done by palming.
Then you Will remember that | take the
proffered handkerchief from the lady in
the audience, and, turning toward the
stage, toss the lemon to my assistant.
This turn gives me time to tuck the
handkerchief under my waistband and
take out the little bundle of pieces. These
L give to gentleman. Then turn to-
wards the stage again. and during this
turn take the long strip of cotton from
my waistband. The gentleman discovers
the pieces in his hand, and while | am
showing him how to restore the hand
kerchief, I substitute the long strip for
the pieces. These tuck under my waist
band. When the strip is discovered L
load it into my pistol and fire it at the
lemon. OF course when / cut the lemon
open the handkerchief which I find is
only a substitute. The original, you re-
member, is still safe under my waiStband.
Then comes the question of the handker-
chief smelling of lemon, and the use of the
eau de cologne. Now comes my assist
ants turn, and he burns the handker-
chief Then L step out and get the sheet
of paper. In point of fact it is double,
and three of the sides are pasted together
forming a sort of a bag. l take the
handkerchief from my waistband, fold il
up as fat and small as possible, and drop
it in this bag. Then l wrap the burnt
handkerchief in the paper and step down
to the audience with it. OF course it an
easy matter to open the bundle so that
only the inside of the bag is exposed,
and the original handkerchief is restored
to its owner"

AN OLD soLD1nR's CONFESSION.
IFrom the Pittsburg Dispatch.l

rFrom the Pittsburg Dispatch
'In a number of years of active SER
vice during the war; said an old SOL
der. Yesterday, 81 must confess, in
all honesty, that in action my bosom
never swelled with the enthusiasm of
heroes that you hear so much about.
On the contrary, 1 experienced more
| fear than anything else. / always did
my duty, but l am forced to believe
that the feelings l had when drawn
UP in line of battle were shared by my
comrades, who never dared to ac-
knowledge them. Facing large body
| of men with guns, and not knowing
what moment one of them will send a
| ball through you, is not a situation to
make a man feel exultant. In my case
was always ready and willing to turn
and run, only waiting for some one
to make the start. How often, when
about to enter battle, do | remember
soliloquizing: Now, if this fellow next
| to me would only make a start, how
thankful l would be- But pride and
sense of duty will hold men together
AS I said. L have not the least doubt
that many men felt just as 1 did, no
matter how they may talk now. And
when you consider that we always
stood our ground, it shows how strong
ly pride can influence our actions
II remember once, when our cavalry
troops were out upon a SklrmiSh, we
took vantage position upon hill
that rose out of d plain. From there we
could see the enemy gradually sur
rounding US. This, to one of my tenn
permanent, caused extreme nervous
ness. When there was but a small
opening remaining at one point, and
that slowly being closed, 1 went to
the commanding officer and suggested
that he had better order retreat
while such a thing was possible. He
refused to do it, saying he was going
to stand his ground. l knew this was
sure death, and would have readily
put spurs to my horse and ridden to
safety. had not my sense of duty and
pride impelled me to remain with my
officer. He was sitting his horse
calmly, taking in the situation, when
came to him a second time to make
the suggestion. But / did not have to
speak. Providence did my work for
me in a manner that prevented argu-
ment.
1.-The bullets were flying about thick
and fast, and just as l was about to
address the officer, a stray bullet
struck him in the wrist of the hand
which held the reins. The ball shat
tered the bone and the reins dropped
from the helpless hand Before the
officer could recover the reins with the
other hand. the horse bolted, and
strangely, started on the dead run for
the one place which offered way of
escape. 1t was my duty to follow the
officer and 1t was the most cheerful
duty | found during the war. I
spurred my horse and soon was at his
heels. We got away all right, but the

TO REMOVE FRUIT STAINS.

| AS the fruit season wakes, it becomes
burdensome to keep delicate drapery
spotless. Who has not beheld with dis
may ones favorite damask hopelessly-
! it would seem-diScolored with peach
cherry and berry stainsl Some sugges-
tons culled from that best of teachers
-Experience-and that are not gener-
Tally known may be of assistance in
remedying the mishap.
| In the first place, do not wash the
linen before applying other remedies;
to do so sets the stain almost indelibly,
and it then has to pass through all
stages until time and the laundry
leave but a pale yellow reminder
which contamination does not follow
usually until the fabric is threadbare
Fer berry stains have some one hold
| the cloth SO that it says little and
pour absolutely boiling water through
the spot; rub well. If this fails, light
bit of sulphur and hold under the wet
spot-a lighted match will answer; the
sulphurous gas usually does the work.
the stain gradually disappearing
But there are some that, like Lady
Macbeth's damned spot will not
'out peach stains for example Then
you must have recourse to salts of
lemon, which is good, but apt to leave
d mole IN lieu or the stain. BY extreme
carefulness in it's use, however, it will
not do such dire damage. Take sunny
day for the task; first moisten the spot
and then rub on a very little of the
salts of lemon; lay the linen in the sun
for two or three minutes and then wash
thoroughly with soap and warm water
Success nearly always follows.
Other stains like iron rust are more
leasily removed. After washing the arti-
Gle, squeeze lemon juice on the spots
and then cover thickly with salt Lay
in the sun all day, wash, and if the
rust is not entirely removed repeat the
application. This is equally good for
ink stains.
An excellent washing fluid, that close
ly resembles the celebrated JavelIe
water, is made as follows:
Have ready two gallons of boiling
water; stir in thoroughly a pound of
sal-soda and a quarter of a pound of
unslaked lime. When it is settled and
perfectly cold, skim we'll and let it boil
again. Take from the fire and when
settled pour off the clear fluid into bot
ties or stone jars that can be tightly
corked. Use in the proportion of a cup
ful to large bucketful of water.

He was a long, lanky, ungainly look
ing chap with thin face, and a shock
of sandy hair, very bright eyes, and
an indefinite suggestion of physical
strength and mental assurance. The
sheriff of Schwartz county, H., had
called for extra deputies to repress the
lawless mobs of strikers that were
dominating the state in general, and
Schwartz county in particular; and

The sheriff wanted recruits and guns
badly, for the governor had been criti-

rumpled dignity, while Ezra continued:
