Horrible Suicide,

A most horrible suicide occurred at
Leipsic on the morning of the Goth.
Henry Cook, a teamster, who came
there from Toledo some time ago,
blew his head off with a single barrel
shotgun, scattering his brains and
flesh all over the room, presenting a
horrible and sickening sight. Cook
had been sick about week and his
wife went to Toledo about three
hours before he did the deed. 1t is
not known whether Cook and his
wife had trouble or not, as everything
was pleasant Sunday. He was found
by boy who took him his breakfast
few minutes before Z on the fatal
morning.

Derives a Nice INCOME.

Findlay is now deriving an income
of $1OO per day from it's oil produc
ton. A number of the wells drilled
for gas by the gas trustees have
turned out to be good oilers, while
others produce both oil and gas in
paying quantities. Some of the wells
which have become valueless for gas
have turned into oilers. The produc-
ton of oil is constantly on the in
crease and it is expected torealize be-
tween $4,000 and $50,000 per year
from this unexpected source, which
sum will go far toward extinguishing
the gas debt.

BLOODY WOOD COUNTY.
Probable Double Murder Near Wes-
ton,

WESTON, O., Aug. 17.-A bad stab
bing affray occurred late yesterday at
the Oklahoma saloon just outside of
the corporation, in which Jay Rosen-
crantz was badly slashed in the back
Andy Bower, a chum of Rosencrantz's s.
was also fatally cut in the back. Sam
Long, of Grand Rapids, and son
George were on the other side of the
affray, and were badly cut by Bower
with slug shot. Henry Snyder, it is
said, did the cutting. Andy Bower,
Otto Thompson and Rosencrantz
stopped at the saloon on their way
home from Milton Center. 1t was a
drunken row. Two of the injured
may die. The officials are securing
the country in search of the mur-
derer.
WESTON, O., Aug. 18-Sam Long,
the fellow who stabbed Andy Bow
ers, Thursday night, at the Oklaho-
ma saloon, just outside the village
limits, was given a preliminary hear
ing yesterday before Justice Thomp-
son. He was bound over to Court of
Common Pleas in the sum of 81, 900.
Bowers is in pretty bad shape,
though there is no doubt but that he
will recover. Jay Rosencrantz, the
other victim of Longs keen blade, is
not so dangerously hurt as was first
reported. The grand jury will handle
Longs case at the beginning of the

Narrer s. Clark's Farm Rec ord.

Mr.. J. W. Busby, general agent for
the above work, is in the county with
the intention of making a thorough
canvass among our farmers for the
best and most complete farm record
ever published. We have personally
examined the record and can pro-
nounce it the most simple,
and at the same time, the
most useful, book of the kind we ever
saw, one that every farmer should be
possessed of. 1t is simple and cor
rect method of recording all items Of
sales, expenditures, Indebtedness,
credits, field and stock records, and
all transactions connected with the
farm. Mr.. B. also wishes to establish
local agents in each township. 3t

They May Pass Away, but Their
Fame Lives Forever.

The veterans of the late war are
passing rapidly away as age and dis
ease thin their ranks. One by one
they are going to their last camping
ground. The report of the g. A. r.
shows that 7002 members died in the
last twelve months, a larger mortall-
ty than that of any previous year.
1t is in the order of nature that this
depletion should increase as age
steals upon the old warriors, and by
the beginning of the next century
there will be but comparatively few
left to answer roll call. They will
pass away, but their fame will live
forever.

Some who read this headline will
say "yes" and swear to it, while 9TH
ers, equally as we'll acquainted with
the mysterious in agricultural lore,
will declare that like produces like
and that one species of grain never
sprung from another. There is but
one instance on record in all the an

wheat. This curiosity is or was quite
recently, at least, preserved in the
