SUICIDE.
W, B. LADD OF WESTON
ENDS HIS LIFE BY HANGING

The Deed Done While at Sanitarium.
The people OF this county were greatly
surprised to learn OF the death, by sui
eide, OF w. B. Ladd of Weston, on
Thursday night last.
Mr.. Lodd had been in poor health
for some time, which is supposed to
have caused mental alteration. On
Thursday he accompanied his wife and
d.. Schooley to the little town of Tex
as, or Riverside Park, in Henry coun-
ty, where the doctor has sanitarium,
for the purpose OF having him take a
course of medical treatment.
His wife remained with him and
shortly after midnight, after they had
retired, he arose and left their apart
ment, saying he would return shortly.
He did not return as soon as Mrs.
Ladd expected him, and she gave
the alarm, aroused the inmates of the
sanitarium and instituted search.
At .. a. m. the barn was visited, and
here the searchers were startled to find
Mr.. Ladd hanging by the neck from a
joist, and cold in death.
The body was Immediately taken
down and the proper authorities noti-
fed.
The deceased was about 56 years of
age, and an old resident of Weston.
He was an active business man until
within the past few years, and at the
time Of his death was the senior mem.
Der of the firm of w. B. Ladd & Co., OF
Tontogany, but the business has always
been conducted by S. L. Irwin.
For several years he was senior mem.

BY his death he leaves wife and

Toledo is after the League of Amer
lean Wheelmen meet for 1896, and
while it may be said by some that To-
ledo should not have everything (unless
she wants to) yet there are numer-
GUS and the very best reasons in the
world why the Lady of the Lakes
should wiz in her desire to secure the
meet. Among the numerous claims is
the fact that Toledo manufactures more
bicycles than any other city in the
world, and in consequence thereof has
greater interests in matters pertaining
to cycling. The city is easy of access
from all parts of the world, by rail and
water; they have, in Toledo, 25 miles
OF asphalt pavement, and every street
is paved in such manner as to make
cycling pleasure in any part of the
city, and the excellent stone roads di-
verging in all directions from the city,
make spin through the beautiful sur
rounding country u delightful one.
Add to this the fact that Toledo has
one of the best racing tracks in the
world, that her hotels and boarding
houses will accommodate (and do ii
well, too,) any number of visitors, and
we have Il series Of reasons that should
certainly entitle the most enterprising
city of Ohio to the L. A. w. meet ol
1896.

The Democrat was unkind enough to
in his convictions when he voted TO ac-
cept the compromise on the Dinner
furniture contract. The Democrat
seems to be ready to doubt the honesty
of any and every person who does not
see through the same prejudiced spec
tacles as does the editor of that paper,
whose greatest effort seems to be to
make the people believe that they are
being mercilessly robbed at every op-
portunity. The Democrat is over
reaching itself, and as time goes on,
and it continues its unjust fight, it only
brings the people of the county to u
realizing sense of the fact that they are
being duped by those who are endeav-
oring to ruin honest men by crying
"fraud and reckless business methods. 4"
and who, while apparently seeking to
recover money which they claim has
been fraudulently obtained, have ex-
pended greater sums in expenses than
than have been recovered in any in
stance. In the attempt to belittle Mr..
Ault tie papers that have criticised
him, are battering their ammunition
against one who is invulnerable. We
have had the pleasure of his personal
acquaintance for many years, and we
would wager everything we possess
that there is no man in the State OF
Ohio, or any other State, who is more
honorable or firm IN his convictions Of
right or wrong, and when John Ault
voted to accept the Dinner proposition
we believe he did it with the firm be.
lief that he was doing his duty and
what he believed to be just, honorable
and for the best interests of the people,
and any hint that he was bribed or in.
iuenced by others is base insinuation
unworthy of utterance or publication in
any paper that has any claim to respec-
liability.

The JOURNAL deeply regrets that q
certain Toledo daily attempts to create
the impression that the editors we're
displeased with the evidences of jeal-
ousy which it claims were manifested
among the Toledo gentlemen who were
in charge OF the entertainment of the
editors. The only jealousy that was
in any way noticeable was that dis
played by the Toledo gentlemen in
their efforts to see who could do the
most for the entertainment of the yis-
itors, and the only comment we heard
was by one brother who wondered if he
was really worthy of so much atten-
tion."

siderable time hustling around the

per contains communications from va

of the wonderful feeling against the
Republican party and how many Re-
publicans intend voting the Democratic
ticket. and sending in lists OF life
long Republicans"wh are ''seekers af-
ter truth" and want to subscribe for
the Democrat. These articles are
signed by any thing other than the
writer's name, which would indicate
that the writer is ashamed of his pro-
duction, or that the article is by the
editor himself.

been taking cue from the Repubi-
cans. by getting as many candidates in
Perryshurg township as possible
Hampton for Treasurer and Smith for

think Perrysburg is sufficiently great
as Mascot to elect Democrats from
this corner of the county? Or is it
done to distribute the fight around the
county and allow the concentration OF
power on the Bowling Green candidate
for Commissioner?

fact that o. T. Corson is very ready

that he is now the manager of the

reasons for having him here on that

james j. Smith Nominated for Repre-.

AT last the Democracy OF Wood coun.
ty has succeeded in getting someone to
go up against Capt. o. p. Norris, as a
candidate for Representative.
After trying to pound sufficient en-
thuasm into Frank Taylor of North
Baltimore to keep him on the tick
ct, and finally giving up in despair
they haye succeeded in securing the
promise of James j. Smith OF Lime
City, to sacrifice himself upon the altar
of Democracy.
Mr.. Smith has been resident of
Wood county for 50 years, the most OF
which time he has resided near his
present location Lime City. He is
about rs years of age and one of the
most active men, for one OF his years,
in the county.
He is Democrat ''irom way back''
and is evidently proud of the fact that
he hurrahed for Andrew Jackson for
President, and has been voting with
Jackson's party ever since.
But Notwithstanding his faithful
Democracy and his remarkable activi-
ty,- he will not be in it at the finish of
the race in November.

Carrying more than a million dollars less
than the amount estimated as necessary
by the Commissioners. yet greater by
nearly six hundred and fifty thousand
dollars than the sum agreed to by the
House of Representatives. the District ap-
preparation bill has been reported to the
Senate. The various items of increase are
given elsewhere In The Stsr, and not one
of them can be attacked on the ground
that there is no necessity for the enlarge
ments made by the Senate. The more con-
spicuous increases are those as to schools
suburban sewers. country roads, the fire
department. the health department and
improvement of and extension Of streets
and avenues. With these important mat
tiers. the Senate committee on appropria-
tons has done wisely. and, doubtless. with
as much hberality as could be expected
while Treasury conditions are as unsatis-
factory as at present. 1t is not appre-
hended that any decrease will be made by
the Senate, nor Is 1t probable that the
total reported in the bill will be made
materially larger. so that the measure will
probably go to the conference committee
In Its present shape. What will happen in
conference cannot be even guessed at. but
IL Is hoped that the conferees on the part
of the House will see how essential Is the
Increase to the defense of which the Senate
Is practically committed. There is urgent
need, In respect to several items, for a much
greater expenditure than even that which
the amended bill contemplates. but the
proverbial half loaf Is so much better than
no bread that few will grumble. The Sem
ate committee on appropriations Is entitled
to the thanks of the community for what,
up to this time, 1t has done.
