A small blaze occurred Thursday noon
in the house owned by John Cushman,
on West CAIRO street. Mr.. Payne, of
Inwood was taking dinner with the
family, and when he discovered the fire
he did not call for the fire department,
but climbed up tree, and from there
to the roof and eXtinguished the fire.
Mr.. Payne although past GO years of age
did the work in manner that would
have elected applause from hook and
ladder man.
An exchange has the following: If
you would increase your happiness and
prolong your life, forget your neighbor's
faults, forget the SANDER you have heard,
forget the temptations, forget the fault
finding and give little thought to the
causes that provoked it. Forget the
peculiarities of your friends and only
remember the good points that make
you fond of them. Forget all personal
quarrels or of histories that you may
have heard by accident, and which, if
repeated would seem thousand times
worse than they are. Blot out as far as
possible all the disagreeables of life;
they will come; but they will only grow
larger when you remember them; the

SUICIDE AT TEXAS.
PROMINENT BUSINESS MAN
OF WESTON HANGS
HIMSELF.
Ill Health Was Probably the
Cause of the Act.
Especial Telegram 70 me plade.l

Weston, O., Sept. 27.-William B.
Ladd, one of Weston's most promi-
nent and influential business men,
suicided at Texas, o., yesterday, by
hanging himself in the NOW of barn
to a rafter with the lines from a
harness. Mr.. Ladd has been a very
sick man for some time past, and was
taken to Texas, about ten miles from
Weston, quiet place along the Mau-
NEE river, so that he might be kept
away from noise and confusion. His
case is very similar to that which
caused the death of Wallie Smith, at
Bowling Green, few years ago.
About4 o clock Thursday afternoon
Mr.. Ladd left the house for little
walk, and nothing strange was
thought of it, but after few hours
as he did not return, his wife, who
was at that place with him, became
uneasy, and search was made, and
about II o'clock in the evening his
body was found as stated above. His
death is great shock to Weston, as
he was leading man, a member of
the school board and prominent in
the M. E. church. He was about 55
years old.
The burial will occur next Sunday
at Medina, Ohio. Weston owes to w.
b. Ladd great deal for the upbuild-
ing of the town. He was progressive
and business man in all the words
imply.

Benefit of Railroads to Property
Owners of Henry County.

There are 69t miles of railroad (main
track now in operation in Henry
county. The average value for taxa
tion Of each mile of main track, in
cluding the value of side track, roll
ling stock and all other equipments
for 1894 was $105. % per mile. The to-
tai tax levied on the Grand Duplicate
for 1894 was $1S7, ,497.T. The rail
roads paid of this total tax $19,037.1 10
or a fraction of $10.15 on each 500 of
tax levied on the entire duplicate.
The benefits resulting from the pays
ment OF taxes by railroads for state
and county purposes are equal but
very unequal for township and cor
poration purposes. The townships,
corporations and school districts
through which railroad passes have
the exclusive benefit of taxation to
the full extent of the railroad valua-
ton within their limits. The follow
ing statement compiled from the du-
plicate of 1894 and the subsequent ex-
PLANTATION thereof, will, if properly
considered, elucidate the advantage
of local taxation in townships and
precincts through which railroads
are constructed and operated.
The 1st column represents the to
tai tax levied in each township and
precinct in the county having rail
road valuation. The 2nd column rep
resents the total tax levied and PAID

mate tax paid by railroads on eacf

WEATHER THAT Is COMING
Stormy First Half of October
Rainfall just the Reverse of
Temperatures.

Fosters last bulletin gave forecasts
of the storm wave to cross the contin-
ent from 25th to goth, and the next
will reach the pacific coast about the
30th, cross the west of Rockies country
by close of October 1, the great central
valleys I'd to 4th, and the eastern
states about the 5th.
This disturbance will be of consider
able energy and following it the cool
wave will bring very low tempera-
lures.
The warm wave, he says, will cross
the west of Rockies country about
September 30th, the great central val
leys October end, and the eastern
states the 4th.
The cool wave will cross the west
of Rockies country about October Sd,
great central valleys 5th. and eastern
states 7th.
The second disturbance of October
will reach the Pacific coast about the
9Th, cross the west of Rockies country
, by close of 7th, great central valleys
8th to 10th, eastern states 18th.
Warm wave will cross the west of
Rockies country about 9th. great
central valleys 9Th and eastern states
10th. Cool wave will cross west of
Rockies country about 10th, great
central valleys 18th and eastern
states 18th.
FIRST HALE TO BE STORMY.
The first half of October will be
very stormy, Foster says, and the
average rainfall will gradually de-
crease from first to middle and in
crease from middle to last part of the
month. From 9Th to 10th will be the
period Of highest average tempera.
ture in the great central valleys.
Further west the high temperature
will occur little earlier and further
east a little later. The week of great
est extremes of temperature will
occur from 18th to 10th, and duriug
this period the greatest storms OF
the month will occur.
The week following 10th will be not
able for killing frosts unusally far
southwark.
October will be nearly average in
| temerature when we put the tempera-
ture for the whole United States for
the whole month together.
Draw line from Winnipeg down
the Mississippi river to its mouth, and
the country east of that line will aver
age below and west of that line above
the usual normals.
SEVERE CHANGES IN TEMPERATURES.
Some very severe changes in tenn
perature will occur, particularly near
the middle of the month, but taking
the average of each locality for the
whole month, no great extremes in
these averages will occur anywhere in
the United States.
The coldest monthly average for
October appear to lie along the lines
from Chicago to Cincinnati and from
! Cincinnati to Boston.
Rainfalls of October will be nearly
the reverse of the temperature. De-
ficiencies will occur generally north
and west of the Ohio river, and west
of the Mississippi, and excesses south
and east Of the Ohio and Mississippi
No very great extremes in the month
ly averages of rainfall are expected,
and in large portions of the country
the precipitation for the month will
be near the normal.

The patience OF a Brooklyn electrician
has been sorely tried by the nocturnal
song of cats Night after night his we'll
earned rest would be broken by the
solos, duets and choruses which were
given by the feline congregation in his
back yard One night, while he was ly-
ing awake. vowing deep and summary
vengeance on his tormentors, an inspira-
ton came to him. He had heard that
the cat. like the skylark, does not sing
on the ground II must climb a fence
to find inspiration for the outpourings of
its musical soul The electricians back
yard Is surrounded by Il high fence,
which would invariably be studded
with dim silhouettes far into the night;
but they are there no longer. The over
wrought sufferer conceived the idea OF
running wire through which he could
send a powerful current around the top
of the fence the switch being close TO
his hand He says the sweetest mo
ments in his life was when the first call
came and bumped its back against the
wire He joyonsly pressed the button.
There was a ragged. alternating current
kind of a howl, and an instantaneous
whisking Of a furry mass. and all was
still Within a week not eat would
come within ten rods OF the fence, and
