MADE THEM NERVOUS.
A Bear Walked In Yellowstone Hotel
and MINGLED with the Gnesta.

A Bear Walked In Yellowstone Hotel
and Mingled with the Guests.
At the hotel which was located at
the Upper Geyser Basin, but burned
last winter, there was last summer
big black bear who slept under the
house, and became so tame that the
guests fed him, and one evening the
porters enticed him into the hotel Office
with sugar He came in, walked
through the big lobby, smiled at the
telegraph instrument as though he
understood that it was clicking mes
sages back to the great cities of Amer
lea, and the walked to the front door
gazing out at Old Faithful, and hesita-
ting about his return to the pine woods
beyond. This playful prank of the
porters was, however, enjoyed more
after bruin had gone than while he was
in the hotel.
The guests, who had no fear of him
out at the garbage box or around the
grounds of the hotel, were somewhat
nervous when he took possession of the
big lobby, where they were sitting
about the big, open wood fire, talking
about what they would do if bear
should walk into the hotel. They sat
like statues, and Manager Howe, who
had fed bruin from his hand outside,
felt that this was closer acquaint t.
ance than he desired to cultivate.
He thought the bear might next move
on the dining-room and play the part
of the bull in the china shop. Mr..
Haynes, the official photographer OF
the parlt, sat near enough to the door
to lay his hand upon bruin, but he did
not attempt to get his picture, though
he had been waiting years for a bear
to come up and sit for his photograph
The kodak enthusiasts were too nerv'
Gus to even press the button and get a
snap shot. They all felt more com
Portable when the bear walked out the
front door, across the veranda, and out
across the lawn to the pine woods
Manager Howe told the porter'
that while he wanted to keeI
on friendly, and even intimate
terms with the bear, he did no
want him to infringe the rules agains
dogs being allowed in the parlor ol
dining-room, and bear, gentle ant
friendly as he might be, could not b'
allowed privileges not given to th'
dogs.
That bear, says the Chicago Inte
Ocean, still haunts the Upper Basin
but the hotel which sheltered him ha
been burned, and Mr.. Howe has only
lunch station there now, but he find
him out at the garbage box just as be
fore.

ONCE AGAIN
Sam Knight is Commissioner
Filed His Bond Last Saturday

And Took the Oath of Office on Monday
Last.
On Saturday last Samuel Knight filed
his bond as Commissioner with the pro-
bate Judge.
The bond is signed by the following
we'll known citizens:
Samuel Knight, principal, Henry
township.
H. L. Huddle, Henry township.
John F. Kile, Henry township.
John Farquharson, jackson town
ship.
r. Shoemaker, Bloom township.
Allen s. Ferguson, jackson town
ship.

John w. Knight, Liberty township,
Thos. w. Knight, Liberty township.
Geo. Copus, Henry township.
Hiram Beatty, Henry township.
w. C.. Singer, Weston township.
F. o. Barnett, jackson township.
The law only requires a bond of $4,000,
but the document of Mr.. knight calls
for 0,000. 1t is good for ten times
that sum, however, each of the signers
being solid and financially substantial
citizens.
The bond being accepted, the usual
oath haying been made and duly at.
listed by notary public there is nc
further formality necessary.
The question has arisen and been the
subject of much comment for some time
regarding the legally of Mr.. knights
assuming the Office OF Commissioner.
The question has been referred tc
several attorneys all of whom agee
that there is no law whatever to pre-.
vent his qualifying us Commissioned
and among the prominent attorney;

WANT TWO sMoKESTAcKs.
Russian Jews Refuse to Travel on Vessel
Equipped with But One.

Russian Jews Refuse to Travel on q Vessel
Equipped with But One.
A steamship ticket agent on the East
side whose business is chiefly with Pol
ish and Russian Hebrews who are
about to return to their homes tells of
popularity of his customers, says the
New York Tribune. No one of them
wants to travel on a vessel having only
one smokestack. Somehow these peo-
pie have an idea that ship is not safe,
handsome, comfortable and speedy un-
less she has two or three stacks. Their
passage costs them only twenty dollars,
and they are not solicitous about baths
or the decorations of their quarters,
but on the point of a single funnel they
are as firm as rock. A great many
passenger steamships have only one
stack. Some new ones in which the
steerage accommodations are especial
ly roomy and well ventilated have no
more, and the returning Poles insist
they will not travel on them. The
ticket agents feel no compunction
about assuring their customers that the
ship on which they are going to sail
has three "rochers" (smokers), as the
Hebrews call them, and even point to
big picture of her on the wall, which
serves as the likeness of any vessel
which may be talked of,
When the man and his family arrive
at the pier on the day of sailing there
is likely to be trouble when he dis
covers that his ship has only one mis-
erable smolsestack. Sometimes the
people refuse point-blanl1 to go or
board, and say they will wait for {
steamer with three smokers" An ef
fective subterfuge has been invented
for such cases. Solemn assurance il
given that the ship has three or fou
smokestacss, but that all but one shor
one were taken down so that the shil
could pass under the Brooklyn bridge
AS soon as she got out to sen the ad
ditional stacks would be put in plac
and sho would speed proudly on he
way. The ignorant East slider doesn'
know that vessels passing to sea fror
the Hudson river never get within tw
miles of the bridge, and takes his fam
ly on board. What he says and doe
|, when he learns that he has been de
ceived does not bother the ships off
GERS particularly.

Vow to the Dead.

"If you die l will sleep by the side of
your grave all the rest of my life"
This remarkable VOW was made fifteen
years ago to his sick wife by Edwin l..
Morrison, at that time chief clerk of
the Pennsylvania freight department
and protege of Ralph Peters, the
superintendent of the Miami division
OF the Pennsylvania road. He fol-
lowed his wife's body to the grave, and
remained seated beside 1t until the sex
ton, moved to pity by the constancy of
the mans love, allowed him to sleep in
a small tool house near by. And now
Edward L. Morrison, once the hand
some, debonair railroad man, is old,
wrinlsled and haggard, but still sits in
his rude hut by the side of the tomb OF
the woman he loved SO well. For fif'
teen years he has kept up this solemn
vigil, yet the heart that was torn in
twain by poignant grief still beats, and
the old man longs for the bride of his
youth as the cycles of time roll on.

Now that the republicans of Wood
have it In their power to send two OF
their number to the Ohio Legislature,
1t behooves them to work together to
that end without quibling about the
mistakes that haye been made In the
past. Hankey and Norris, from old
Wood will be amply able to look after
the interests OF the richest and most
productive county in the state in oil

On Monday last Mr.. L. L. Kingsbury
retired from the board OF County Com
missioners, his term having expired by
reason of his successor being duly quail
ified. During the six weeks that Mr..
Kingsbury has been n member of the
board of commissioners he has made
the reputation OF being one of the most
progressive, careful and hard working
officials who ever graced the board of
Wood county. Wherever he has been
called to look after the work of the
county, his action has met with general
approval, and his co-laborers on the
board and other officials with whom he
has been doing business speak of him
in the highest terms of praise and it is
safe to predict that If E. L. Kingsbury
should ever sling his castor into the
political arena as candidate for Office
at Wood county convention the good
work he has done during his short time
as commissioner would bring him many
supporters from all parts of the county.

stance, the old rule still applies. The
rules have also been modified in re-
spect to indulgence in amusements.
The especial devotional reflections
and prayers to be practiced during the
Lenten season are with reference to
what are known as the passion OF
Christ. The last week is really the most
devotional period of the whole season,
being the anniversary of the erucifiXlon
The Sunday preceding Easteris known
as Palm Sunday, being the anniversary
of the entrance of Christ into Jerusa-
lem. The custom of blessing palm and
distributing it among the members OF
the CONGREGATION on this day originates
from the manner in which Christ was
received on his appearance In Jerusa-
lem on that occasion, the popuiace
having cut boughs from the trees as
decorations and emblemS of homage.
Then on Thursday is the anniversary
of His last supper; on Friday, which is
always known as Good Friday, His
death; and on Sunday-Easter-H
resurrection. 1t will be understood
that the reason this anniversary does
not fall on the same day of the month
each wear is because it is fixed by the
moon. Easter is therefore known as
the movable feast day, and is the guide
bv which are fixed all the other Cathol1c
movable feast days in the year.

William Foelsen said that he had
been constantly assured that his
taxes would grow less. Instead of
diminishing they had been growing
larger. He favored the motion.
e James Macarthur then began ser
les of remarks which added vein
of cheerful monotony to the attrac-
lions of the meeting. He said that
st. Paul had been ruled long enough
by "hayseeds" from the back coun-
ties. He wanted home rule, and he
wasn't afraid to say SO. The resolu-
ton was thereupon approved. At
tentiOn was called to the bill now be-
fore the senate to replace the pres
I :ent tax penalty with a cumulative
penalty, by which the delinquent
taxpayer would merely be assessed
one-half of 1 per cent for each month

The evils of the present tax pen

1.-The rich man." said he, "can gen
| orally pay his tax in time, if he can

arily embarrassed, loses his home and
all his little property, which goes in

the regular legal interest and no

ures showing that the effect of the
existing law was to make one pay a
total penalty of q per cent within
two years.
Mr. Macarthur, who had been
speaking at various intervals, then
gave an entertaining account of his
personal experience with the tax
law.
A motion was presented by Gates

MERRY MASKERS.
ANNUAL MASQUERADE OF THE
ST. PAUL Musk VEREIN
GIVEN AT STANDARD HALL.
Grand March Led BY Haas, Betz
HeIinIke and RcSeHth2l-A
GIitterinG Array.

The jolly members of the Musk
Verein, of st. Paul, gave their an
mail masquerade ball at Standard
hall last evening. The occasion was
a merry one, hugely enjoyed by Jolly
Teutons and bewitching maldens.
A unique and effective display OF
costumes was presented by the sew
enty-ffve couples who for hours
abandoned themselves to the de-
lights of dancing. Blonde-haired girls
maidenS with raven tresSeS, all
gaily attired, mingled promiscuous-
w with mump-faced butcher boys,
Spanish braves, gaudily attired ven
doris of the succulent tamale, frlsky
colored gallants, Celtic beauX and
st. Paul dudes. The latter was beau
tifully portrayed by saWed-off in
dividual attired in habiliments which
would have captured a Partisan
couuette a block away. A feature
of his eXtravagant costume was
pair of polka dot trousers, rolled
high, and faced with blue flannel,
which Topped loosely over a pair OF
patent leather pumps more pointed
than the goatee of Mephistopheles.
A wealth of yellow whiskers con-
cealed his beauty, and sufficient
bogus jewelry to sink coal barge
burdened his 'digits. Yet he caught
a giddy flower girl the moment he
pranced on the floor.
A glimpse of the creature would
have driven a Colorado highwayman
to the altar of reformation. Most
, catchy too, was the disguise of a
portly German, who, arrayed as ST.
Peter, and carrying aloft the golden
| key of heaven, while his sturdy
! shoulders were freighted with the
gate of the divine palace, playfully
| tickled all the pretty girls in the
! room. Plenty-Heap-Squa
{ Apache brave, brandished his little
| tomahawk and paid assiduous atten-
! ton to a sylph-like soubrette, who
! wore an abbreviated costume, amply
/ displaying a pair of slender but
| charming extremities incased in
| white silk hose.
Inc Sidnu uldICH was leu NY d
| quartette of gentlemen, including
Messrs. Quincy Haas, Louis Betz, Ed
Helmle and Mr.. Regenthal, with a
bevy of beauty and gallantry in their
wake After the masked multitude
had enjoyed fair companionship
! brief while, the floor was cleared
while eight couples most artistically
presented the Swiss jubilee dance,
/; charmingly costumed in the gaudy
colors of the Tyrolese. Then the
merriment was resumed and contin-
ued until st. Peters venerable feat
ures were robed in slumber.
What's all this talk about the $3.50
Gordon hat? Why, people will talk
when style, quality and low price go all
i together. 1t means a saving of $3.50.

EIGHTH WARD CITIZENS

Ht;on OF Water Front Tax.

A spirited meeting of Eighth ward
citizens at Brandls hall last even-
ing, corner of University and West
ern evenues, Endorsed Senator Shee-
hans bill for separate city charters,
favored the abolition of the water
front tax and the present excessive
tax penalties, and gave utterance to
some practical opinions uncommon
at reform meetings. About seventy
five citizens were in attendance.
William Rodger occupied the chair.
while Eugene Giberton acted as sec
rotary.
The secretary had been handed
blank petition, which he read. 1t
requested the legislature to pass
Henry Johns bill abolishing the
water front tax, and likewise Sen
ator Ozmuns charter bill. John E.
McCarron made formal motion
that Johns bill be Endorsed. A few
speeches were heard in support OF
the motion, and the latter was
speedily adopted.
1t was moved that the citizens of
the ward indorse the idea contained
