TO the front, while president, he gained,
among the soldiers, reputation for in

ferent was he to any and all danger.

Lincoln g unassertive but resolute cour-
age was distressed at having avoided

ment) on his way to be inaugurated at
Washington, in obedience to the urgent,
overwhelming advice of his friends
They only prevailed on him at last by
assuring him that the Union cause de.
manded that he should zealously guard
bis life. He never failed to feel that he
had made a great mistake by any appar-
ent shirking Of duty. He would rather
have been assassinatcd thousand times
than not have made the journey direct,
and the mistake" afflicted him to his
last consciousness.
No mortal creature has ever under
stood human nature better than Lincoln.
He seemed to know all men by instinct
His perfect fair mindedness, his uncon-
ditional sincerity, so impressed every
body that the bitterest prejudices melted
away under their influence.
Since the death Of the eminent eman-
cipator many persons have concerned
themselves about his faith, his religious
beliefs, and to little purpose. He has
been called atheist, inGdel, deist, par
theist, orthodoxist, latitudinarian, ra-
tioualist, as most men of earnest thought
and deep conviction are and have been.
No one knows what he believed or dis
believed; he rarely talked Of such
things. But whatever his faith we are
all convinced that his life was in the
right; that he had an idea of God that
should put believers in pint not Deity
to shame. NrNS-

RESTING IN PRISON.
A Family Travelling by Wagon
From Missouri
Secure Free Lodging in the City
Over Night.
Headed For Alliance Where
They Have Relatives.

In Destitute Circumstances, They Re-
late a story of Great Deprivation
Poorly Clad and in Filth.
A family consisting of husband and
wife, and five children, were lodged at
police headquarters last night. They are
travelling by wagon and came from Mis-.
souri,, being headed for Alliance, where
they claim to have relatives.
The party occupied the female, depart
ment at the city prison, and are about as
forlorn lIoking set as ever reached Can
ton. The children range in age from FIVE
to eighteen years, the eldest being girl
All of them are extremely dirty, and look
as IL they had not seen water for many q
day.
The head of the family, when seen by
n News-Democrat reporter, gave his name
as James Fields. He said he had been
employed as section hand on q railroad,
but losing his position, started east. He
said Isaac Hartman, of Alliance, was his
son.in-law, and he also had u son there,
both OF them being employed in the coal
banks.
According to Fields story, he has had
much hard luck since leaving Missouri
first, his covered wagon burning, and
then two OF his horses being poisoned.
He now has only single horse rig left
and the family Is in destitute circum-
stances. Fields said he would start for
Alliance as soon as it stopped raining.
The Oldest girl with the party is mar
rted, and her husband told the officers
that thy left Missouri as thu" white caps"
were after them.
4 The entire family started for Alli-
ance shortly before noon.

missiOners Missing.
Officials Unable to Locate Its
Present Whereabouts.
Serious Talk Of an Investiga,
tiOn at Once.
The Auditor, Commissioner, Prose
CutOr and Board of Examiners
Members Questioned.

Members Questioned.
There seems to be some mystery regard
ing the report of the county commission
ers. One rumor has it that the report
is lost, and another that it has been
stolen. 1t is certain the report is not
where the newspapers can get it.
Some days ago the News Dem ocrat
gave the exclusive information that there
was dispute as to certain bills which
had been allowed. At that time Prose-
outor Bow said the question was as to
whether the commissioners had right
to charge livery hire, and for expenses
while attending regular sessions.
The board Of exmin,rs in their report
criticised the commissioners for making
such charges, claiming they were not
legal. 1t is claimed the commissioners
must pay every bills out of their mileage,
and If this is not sufficient, must go down
into their own pockets for the balance,
and also pay their own expenses while at
tending regular sessions.
The common pleas court of Vinton
county held the commissioners were en-
titled to these expenses, while the circuit
court reversed the decision. The matter
is now pending in the supreme court.
Prosecutor Bow when asked where the
report was, said IL had been filed with
Clerk Coxen. The clerk said he had
turned it over to Auditor Loichot, and the
auditor said the last he knew of it, 1t was
in possession of the county commission
ers.
Commissioners johnson and Crawford
said they had seen the report, but it
didn't affect them, as 1t was for the
period before they were in office They
had no knowledge as to the present where
abouts Of the report.
Commissioner Poyser said he had no
idea as to what had become of the import
ant document, and no knowledge of any
one desiring to make changes In the
original reDort. Ex-Commissioners
Kreighbaum and Clutz, who were in
office during the time covered by the re.
port, could not be found.
. John N. Ramsey, one of the examiners,
when seen, said he knew nothing as to
what bad become of the report. He said
the examiners had done their full duty,
but declined to go into details for publ,
cation.
Judge McCarty, when seen, stated he
had not received the report, but was ready
to do SO at any time.

A WINNER.
The Lyric Quartette Concert Company
Brings Down the House We'd
nesday Evening.


Mr.. John Angus Mackay, entertainer,
and the Lyric Quartette, scored a signal
triumph in the Peoples Lecture Course,
Wednesday evening The Tabernacle was
filled to its utmost capacity with de-
lighted audience, and the applause was
not only generous, but imperative Mr..
Mackay, down for two of his charming
dialect stories, had the extreme satisfac-
tion Of giving five, before the captivated
audience would reluctantly relinquish
their claim on him. His forte is Scotch
readings AMI anecdotes and the continu-
Gus rippling Of laughter punctuated a
steady stream Of pure and scintillating
wit. Professor Kortheuer, of this city,
delighted the audience with his piano
solos. The vocalists are equally adept,
and the applause was generous. A return
date, even this season, would pack the
house. The Lecture Course committee
should by all means place the Lyric
Quartette Concert Company on the list
for next year.
