Bowling Green has had much Of poll
tics this Spring, and there have been
some surprises. Bowling Green politi:-
clans seem TO be able to carry knife u
long time, and in many cases it seems
the politicians believe that "once an
enemy, always an enemy" hence it is
that an occasional surprise is sprung
at the cauCuses in that city. The con-
test for Offices was warm on every hand
but the greatest surprise appeared
when Capt. Black and r. S. Parker
were turned down and dumped OFF the
school board. To those who were ia
miliar with the politics OF that lively
town it was very apparent that this was
done as a thrust at Prof Haylor, the
efficient superintendent OF the schools
of that city, and his enemies Everybody
has enemiesl felt satisfied that they had
him down and that the only thing left
for the Professor was to "fold up his
tent and silently steal-away. But he
didn't. Neither did he steal Bowling
Green nor it's school house, but his
friends(ah, that sweet word-"friends'D
stole march on the politicians, who
we're smiling to themselves in their
blissful ignorance of the true situation,
and on Tuesday night the present
Board of Education reelected Profes-
sor Haylor for a term of three years
and have entered into contract with
him for that time and now there are
certain people who are swearing in sew
en- languages to think they have been
so nicely checkmated.

viii people never learn that a ''cold"
is an accident to be dreaded, and that
when it occurs treatment should be
promtly applied? There is no knowing
where the trouble will end; and while
complete recovery is the rCle, excep-
tions are terribly frequent, and thous-
ands upon thousands OF fatal illnesses
occur every year ushered by little in
judicious exposure and seemingly
triiling symptoms. Beyond this, there
arc today countless invalids who can
trace their complaints to 'colds" which
at the time of occurrence gave no
concern, and were therefore neglected.

The law firm Of James & Beverstocll

The new law which has been favor
ably reported, will, if carried through,
make considerable change in marine
matters. AT present many American
owners employ Canadian sailors on
their crafts, because they will work for
less money than Americans demand.
There are thousands of Canadian sail
ors on the great lakes who contract for
their seasons work on the American
side, who have heretofore taken refuge
under first papers declaring their in
tention to become American citizens,
when in reality they haye no intention
OF leaving Canada. The new law will
compel them TO either become residents
OF the United States and naturalized
citizens or give up their positions. In
fact, IL they earn their money from
United States owners, they must live in
this country aud eXpenG part, at
least, o. their earnings here-a just and
reasonable law.

LICHTENWALTER
Reunion Held Saturday at the Stark
County Fair Grounds Near
Canton.

On Saturday, September 30, 1896, the
Lichten walters held their eighth annual
reunion at the Stark county fair grounds.
The number In attendance was not 30
large as on some former reunions, but
over 200 ate dinner In the spacious din
ing hall. These Liohtenwalters are the
descendants OF Abraham Lichtenwater,
who settled Canton in 1873 Short ad-
dresses were made by J. b. .Liohtenwalter,
Of Milford, Ind. l.. A.Stower, New Berlin;
Jao. Grossman, Paris; and MI Braucher,
Canton. 1t was agreed that the reunion
for 1897 be held at the fair grounds some
time in September. The offices for 1897
are as follows President, Joseph Lich-
tenwalter, jackson township; vice-presi-
dents Frank Lichtenwalter, Inland, Ohio;
Frank Brauoher, Canton, Ohio; secretary,
NJ. J. Brauoher, Canton; treasurer,
william Liohtenwalter, Canton; his
torian, L. A. Slower, New Berlin.
BY request, the secretary invited all to
visit Mr.. Jacob Lichtenwalter, of Ault-
man, Ohio, who has had the sad mis-.
fortune TO become blind, and who would
be only too glad to have his friends visit
him to while away the long dark hours.
AS historian, Mr.. Frank Braucher
stated in part that we knew eight years
ago that Grandfather Abraham Lichten-
walter was born in 1859, but quite recent
ly has been able to trace our ancestry to
the very ship and date when the first
Lichtenwalters landed in America. All
immigrants into Pennsylvania were re-
quired to sign q declaration of Allegiance
to both the Crown of England and the
Proprietary of Pennsylvania. Over
10000 Germans signed this declaration
from 1877 to 1776. Among this number
came Johann Lichtenwalner (note the
photography in the ship Samuel of Lon
don, Hugh Percy, master, landing at
Philadelphia, August II, 1888 Hans
Phillip Kreighbaum came in the ship
Albany, September 2, 1749. John George
Brauoher landed at Philadelphia from
the ship Peggy, October 16, 1854, and
Johannes Christian Lichtenwalter in the
ship Two Brothers, September 10, 1859.
The following were in attendance from
distsnoe: J.B. Lichtenwalter, Milfo, d,

Sword, o.; Samuel Miller, Bucyrus, o.
Miss Kate Lichtenwalter, Buoyrus, o.
Mr.. and Mrs. W. S. Rowe, Cleveland. o.

THE BENEFITS OF SILVER
How Free Coinage Would Affect sh,
Farmer Who IL Mortgaged.


Farmer Who Is Mortgaged.
From The Cincinnati Enquirer.l
How would the free and unlimited
coinage of silver affect the farmer who
has a mortgage on his farm?
2. How would 1t affect the one hold
Ing the mortgage? OHIO FARMER.
1. The only way in which a farmer
usually raises money to pay his mort
gage or the interest on II is by selling
his products. If these are constantly
falling in price 1t is the same as though
his mortgage and the interest on 1t
were getting greater. In other words,
1t takes a greater number Of bushels Of
his products to procure the same num-
Der of dollars. Suppose, instead of bor-
rowing $1,000 and agreeing to pay $50
year interest the farmer had borrowed
LOCO bushels Of wheat when wheat was
worth 81 bushel, and had agreed to
pay sixty bushels of wheat per year in
terest. There then would have been no
doubt of the fairness of the transac-
ton. If he had borrowed 1t for ten
years he would have delivered sixty
bushels OF wheat every year, and at
the end of ten years would have re-
rybody would have said that he was
an honest man. The farmer who ten
years ago, however, borrowed $1,000
and agreed to pay $50 year interest,
mas found that he has had to give more
than sixty bushels per year to pay his
interest, and that IL his debt is now
due, 1t will take more than 1000 bush
els OF wheat to procure $1,000 to dis
charge the debt In other words, year
by year, the dollar has imperceptibiy
Increased in value until, within twenty
three years 1t has become twice as val
liable when measured in all commodi-
Ties In general. The farmer does not
understand how this has been done. He
knows that II is very distressing to
him, but IL he objects he is told that
he is an anarchist and a repudiator,
and the man who demands twice the
value he loaned is considered honest.
The free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver would stop the fall in prices
OF farm products,
z. The lender Of money should re-
ceive, when the loan is due, money
whose purchasing power is the same as
that which he loaned. He Is entitled to
no more; he should receive no less. The
trouble with the gold standard is that
year by year 1t has been giving an un-
earned increment to money lenders and
holders OF securities calling for a fixed
number of dollars. We maintain that
by using all the gold and all the silver
we could get as money we should have
dollar whose purchasing power would
not be increasing year by year, and
thereby robbing the debtor. At the
same time 1t would return to the cred
itor the full amount to which he is
Justly entitled.

Mr. Bryan Is distinctly peoples
candidate. i belive the plain people of
this country-whon Abraham Lincoln
loved-feel that they again have a
candidate for president whom they can
trust as they have not trusted any 9TH
er candidate since Lincoln. The his-
tory of our country shows four such
true representatives, appearing at
cyclic intervals In this country-Jeffer-
son, Jackson, Lincoln, Bryan. These
men were defenders of the rights of
the people. They were called to lead
ership at critical periods of our his
tory We are now at a critical pc
riod. The crisis has brought forth the
man to lead and win.
Mr. Bryan Is the embodiment of the
principles for which organized labor Is
battling. Our platform might we'll be
simply Bryant" This Is labor's gold
en- opportunity, to be embraced with
zeal and utilized as the chance of a
lifetime. And, thank God, that, al
though capital Is banded together as
never before, there is a steadily grow
Ing unity of purpose among the wori
ers that will, by election day, sweep
aside this evil power and give an en-
during triumph to the D,w and true
Democracy.
The idea that any considerable num-
Der IF workingmen will vote for Nc
Kinley, especially since this far-reach-
ing speech, is preposterous.
