The Board of Education is already

Should be Called Down.

Word has been received here from
Waverly of a condition of lawlessness
which if as bad as reported should be
most severely dealt with. A family
named Jarvis consisting of three or
four brothers, who live near Belmont,
have for some time been coming down
into the neighborhood of Waverly and
committing all sorts of depredations
They have succeeded in terrorizing the
community and everybody seems dis
posed to keep as far from the despcra-
does as possible. On Tuesday night
they met a young half witted fellow
nared VIM. Mason, who lives near
Waverly, and nearly beat him to death.
There is no cause assigned for the deed
other than pure deviltry. None of the
local constGbles would undertake TO
arrest the men and Constable Fox was
telephoned for to come up and try to
make the arrest Fox has not yet com
piled Sentinel.

City AfTa,rs-Ti1e Bridge.

Nearly all of our citizens are in favor
of anything that will advance the in
terests of Marietta Some, however,
have a kind of enthusiasm that is
coupled with so many objections that
it practically amounts to hold-back.
AS to the proposed bridge across the
Ohio, large majority believe it would
be decided advantage to have a
wagon and foot bridge spanning the
Ohio at this point, but they think it
would be of infinitely more advantage
if the bridge could be railroad bridge
as well. Such q bridge as this those
interested are now working to secure
for us. If successful Marietta will
have the best bridge, most modern and
strongest of any on the Ohio. 1t will
haYe wagon roadway on the lower
side wide enough for two electric street
car tracks, one wagon track and
sidewalk for foot passengers, and on
the upper side railroad track. 1t will
be supported by three piers, two abutt-
ments well up on each bank and one in
the middle of the bar If the railroad
feature is added, as now proposed, the
full length, with approaches will be
over G000 feet. The structure at the
shore pier viii be 81 feet above Ohio
