SHIP CANAL.
Some Interesting Facts Regarding
This Important Question,

Colonel Anderson, civil engineer of
Cincinnati, is deeply interested in the
much talked of ship canal uniting the
Ohio River with Lake Erie. In an
interview he said that the canals of
the State, when built sixty years ago.
cost $12, 900, 900, ormore than one-fith
the tax valuation of the State at that
time; such rate now would raise
1886, 900, 900. The State could not now
build canal, as the constitution of
the State forbids it. Hence, if built,
will have to be done by the govern
ment.
The committee on railways and ca
mails of the House of Representatives
has reported unanimously in favor of a
survey to decide the best route, and
Colonel Anderson and Major Burke
propose the route of the Miami canal
as far as Piqua, then to follow the
Miami river to where Plum creek en-
ters the river two miles northeast of
Sidney; thenup that creek and across
the summit at its lowest place to the
headwater of the Auglaize river; then
down its confluence with the Maumee
and on to Toledo.
Less lockage would be required by
this route, and the water supply
easier obtained. Making itas large as
the Welland canal, a barge or whale
back of 1000 tons could be loaded
with iron at Marquette for Cincinnati
and return with coal, or pursue its
way to the Atlantic. He deems its
construction matter of great nation
al importance and especially bene-
fetal to Ohio.

A CASE OF INCEST.
A Father Ruins His Own Children!

A most aggravated case of incest
has come to the notice of Prosecuting
Attorney Ragan. All the parties most
interested in the matter reside in
Harrison township, where the inhu-
man occurrence has created no little
excitement. The story as we have
learned it is about as follows, omit
ting names:
About year and a half ago, a
young girl was taken to wife by one
of the young farmers of Harrison
township, and a bright and happy
future from all outward appearances
seemed to lie before them. But few
months after the marriage was solem-
nized, the young wife became aware
that she was in an interesting con-
dition and had terrible confession
to make to her husband, whom she
loved and trusted
The confession was to the effect
that she was soon to become a moth
er and that her own father was the
parent of her unborn child! The hus-
| band was struck dumb with astonish-
ment and shame. The wife related
how she was forced to accede to the
lusts of her unnatural father, and left
nothing of the horrible tale untold.
The husband confronted the brute
with his crime, and threatened dire
vengence, when compromise was eff
fected to this effect: The husband
was to continue to live with his wife
as if nothing Was amiss, the child was
to be kept and cared for until it was
fourteen months old, when the real
father was to take it, and $400 was to
be paid the injured husband. The
child was kept the allotted time, but
the guilty father then refused to &C
cept it, and the $400 not being paid,
the young husband threatened to
place the matter in the hands of the
law, and did do so, but the unatural
father had fled to parts unknown,
and his whereabouts is still mystic
ry, although the officers are on the
lookout for him.
We are also informed that this mar
ried daughter in Harrison township is
not the only child of this monster that
has been his victim, but that an older
sister was also a victim to his lustful
desires. Hanging is too good for the
brute, and the hope is that he may
be detected and the law meeted out
to it's full extent.

Throat.
WOOSTER, O., June 18.-The police at
a. IN. Saturday were Mortified when an
Italian named Mique, appeared before
them on the square, with his throat cut
from ear to ear, his nose cut off, and his
face and body literally slashed to pieces.
And he could say was "Wade."
He took the police to the home of
George Massoni, half mile distant, and
immediately adjoining the Catholic
church. 1t was learned that Wade
Naftzger and the Italian had gone there
about midnight. Naftzger was left in,
but Mique was refused admission. A
little son of Mrs. Massonis named Foot,
admitted him through the back door.
Naftzger says he was drunk, and did
not know what happened, but heard
fighting in the back room, and under
stood Massoni to say he had fixed him. :"
During the fighting Mique jumped

The United States is the land of the
united par excellence. Out of every
100 persons of marriageable age eco
years and upward) in this country So
are married, 8 widowed and 90 single.
Out of every 100 males over 20 years
of age Ga are married, 5 widowed and
81 single. Out of every 100 women
over 90 years of age 81 are married,
13 widowed and 20 single. The vital
statistics of no other country make so
good a showing. Probably the ease
with which livelihood may be
earned in the United States has so
much to do with promoting matri-
mony. Another consideration is the
admitted loveliness and superiority
of American women. Is it any won
der that four-ffths of them become
wives?

On the sixth day of February, 1862,
at the battle ofShiloh, Capt. Kline, of
Fremont, was shot in the left shoul-
der. The surgeon, in probing for the
ball, used a probing instrument with
a bone point. This point was broken
off in the wound, unknown to Capt.
Kline, and for the last thirty-two
years has been working its way
through the muscles of the arm until
few days ago it finally worked its
way from beneath the flesh and skin.
Capt. Kline says he often felt slight
pain in the arm but thought nothing
of it. Several physicians who exam
ined the bone says it is from some
instrument.

If we were to search through the
long list of articles which go to make
up mans diet for the one food the
best and most perfect of all, that one
would be milk. 1t is one of the earliest
nutriments of the human race, and it
is said that no other article of diet is
capable of sustaining life so long.
Those people who have used it freely
as a food, have awlays been excep-
tionally strong and well developed
physically. The fact that infants,
and the young of many animals,
develop rapidly and perfectly upon
milk alone, attests it's value as food.

Obituary..

LArHER.-In Napoleon, Ohio, June 4th, 1894
Frederick G. Lathcr, aged so years and 8 months.
A precious one from us has gone,
voice We love is still;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
God, in his wisdom has recalled
The boon his love has given;
And though the body moulders here,
The soul liz in heaven. ..
Cne by one earth ties are broken,
As we see our love decay,
And the hopes SO fondly cherished,
Brighten but to pass away.
One by one our hopes grow brighter
As we near the shining shore,
For we know across the river
Wait the loved ones gone before.
We miss thee from our home, dearJ
We mics thee from thy place;
shadow over our life is cast, .r
We miss the sunshine of thy face.
We miss thy kind and willing hand,
Thy fond and earnest care
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee every where E.B.L.

To Vote or
Not to Vote.

That is the question that is just now
agitating the minds of the female
members of society, as Betsy Bobbett
puts it, to the exclusion of the old
topics of Spring styles, house furnish
ing, society events and the other
things that have hitherto engrossed
the fair sex. Not only the Ohio
women but the women of the great
commonwealth of New York, are just
now all in futter over expected
equal suffrage, and it is said that in
New York's "400," woman suffrage is
talked of to the exclusion of every
- thing else. Clubs for the study of
politics and the science of government
have crowded out all other literary
movements and, be it said to the cred
it of the women, they are not going
into politics without being intelligent,
ly informed as to what is expected of
them when it comes to casting ballots,
and that cannot be said of the floating
male vote that holds the balance of
power in so many of the large cities.
But, as we started to say, the women
of the country are not a unit when it
comes to voting. The fin de steele
woman is of course anxious to cast
ballot. She is ready to yield her "pet
privileges to the larger prerogative
entailed by rights" and she wants to
vote, just as she wants to exercilr all
the other rights that belong to the
sphere of progressive womankind.
But conservative woman, Of whom
there is a legion in the land, is not
Just sure that she cares, or wants, or
stands in suffering need of the right
of suffrage and so it will be some lit
tie time before equal suffrage is estab-
lished con the same sure footing with
equal tax paying.
But to change the subject the sea-
son of the year is here when every
body should guard well his or her
health and manner of living. The
system needs building up, whether it
be man or woman, girl or boy, old or
young, and just the place to 60 to get
the required medicines or stimulants
is at Saur & Basley's, when any one
can find the remedy to fit their case.
In fact this store is headquarters for
all known remedies in the medical
science. Their drugs are fresh and
pure, their medicines of the best con-
coctions in the market, and intended
for both man and beast. The human
system at this season of the year not
only needs attention, but also the
system of your stock. Look after
the welfare of your stock as will as
the welfare of yourself. -
The wall paper department of this
house is the most complete in this
section OF the State. AS is also their
paint and oil department. AS this is
the season of the year to brush up
and brighten the appearance of your
homes, you can do DO better than by
selecting your supplies at the store OF
Saur & Balsley. A fine line of win
dow shades and decorations. All
these goods are sold so cheap that it
is sheer folly to let your homes wear
the old and dilapidated appearance
Come in and lay in supply Of these
goods, brush up and add your mite
towards making life beautiful and
comfortable.

CircnmstantiaI Evidence.

Even the clearest and most perfect
circumstantial evidence is likely to be
at fault, after all, and therefore ought
to be received with great caution. Take
the case of any pencil, sharpened by
any woman. If you have witnesses,
you will find she did it with knife,
but if you take simply the aspect of the
pencil you will say she did it with her
teeth. Mark Twain in Century.

JOHN BROWN LOVES HEa STILL.
But His Words Of rsssion Were Cut
Shcrt by Policeman

John Brown, who was recently cut up
badly by p. G.. Lavigne. an irate husband,
got into trouble yesterday afternoon and
as usual landed in the city jail. Brown
still loves Mrs. Layigne, although DIR. La
yigae has forbidden it, Yesterday Brown
felt romantic and he tried 10 play the bal
cony sceae from Romeo and Jul.et."
Armed with a can OF beer, Brown got on
top of a roof near Mrs. Lavigne's window
and called 10 her IN mis- sweetest tones.
Mrs. Lavigne told him to go away or she
would shoos him. Tails made brown ladig-
nant ana he told her she dare not do such
a thing Thea ne accused her OF having
three men in her room and of passing
Christmas night in a lumber yard. Sud-
denly he stopped and took drink OF beer.
seBut love you still.'' ne continued.
"what are you doing up there?" yelled
Officer Powers, who had been watching
the love scene.
..Cleaniag the chimney" said Brown.
Powers ordered Brown down of the roof.
but Brown was ely, and, after throwing
the beer can at the officer. tried to escape
by jumping 70 the ground on the oppo-
site side OF the building. When Powers
reached the other side he found Brown
getting ready % run. The chase was
brief however, for Brown fell into Wa
ter trough and Powers came near follow
ing him. Brown was charged with in<oxi-
cation
