A NEW DEAL.

For many years past the JOURNAL
has been in the habit of publishing free
of charge. all notices OF public enter
tainmsnts given by the various church
es, and in this manner we have given,
free, many dollars worth OF space for
which we have not received so much as
thanks, and not even hint of Il com
plimentary ticket, which all people ac-
cuse the editor of always having. We
find that when we enter a grocery, dry
gooes, or other business house, no mat
ter how small an article we purchase,
or for what purpose it is to be used, we
must pay the price for what we receive.
This is as it should be, and we have
now decided that THE JOURNAL
will adopt the same plan and hereafter
all notices OF public entertainments Civ
en- by churches or other societies where
an admittance fee is charged, will be
charged at the regular rate OF local mo-
tices. The exception to the rule will
be that we will publish free of charge
such notices in case they do not occupy
more than four lines OF type.
This refers only to such entertain
ments as are given for money making
purposes. Church and society meetings
that are free to the public will receive
the usual notice free OF charge.

The commissioners of Lucas county
deserve severe censure, for permitting
the wagon road grade between the side
cut and river bridge TO remain unim-
proved and macadamized until now,
when little stir would have completed
the work and made the road passable.
As it is, the roadbed is soft and soaked
with water to consistency that makes
it almost impossible for powerful draft
horses to drag empty wagons through
the mud, the wheels sinking to the ak
les at several places.-New Era.

IT is very gratifying to hear that
Russia has rendered a loan to the
United States, and that the Gear is un-
derstoOd to be an ally of this country
in case of war with England, and it is

real cause for war between these two
countries has appeared, and is snot likely

: The morning services at the M. E.
church last Sunday was attended by
about 40 members OF Phoenix lodge,
r. and A. NJ, who listened TO aH inter-
esting sermon-the subject being, st.
John. the Evangelist. 1t is II well.
known fact that among Masons, st. John
the Evangelist. is held in great reyer-
ence, and the 9th OF December being
regarded as his birthday, it was quite
proper that the life OF the Evangelist
} be taken as the subject for the sermon
! ON this occasion. The JOURNAL would
like toapublish the entire sermon but
cannot do so, but will state that one OF
, the chief characteristics OF the life OF
st. John the Evangelist, was his going
down among those who had fallen; the
Iowly and sinful, and by the magnetism
of his personality and the true chris.
tian spirit that was manifested by his
work. he extended the hand OF help, OF
1--we, and of Christian charity to all,
and helped to lift up and build up those
who mad iallen by the wayslde. There
were many features in the life OF the
Evangelist that are worthy OF emula-
tion by many OF the so-called christians
or to-day, and Masons and all others
but honor themselves when they pay
homage TO the life and work OF ST.
John, the Evangelist. This excellent
sermon was delivered by Rev. d. H.
Bailey.

DEATH OF A FANATIC.
Drowned While Attempting to Walk on
 the Water.

DEFIANCE, O., Oct. 2.-Charles GoSler of Transport, religious fla natic, met shocking death near this city today, while attempting to walk on the water, in order to demonstrate that his faith was equal to that of the Sa- vior.
 Gosler was a young man of good habits and an industrious tempera- ment. He was an ardent supporter of the Seventh Day Adventists' doctrine, and recently became demented over his religious belief Last week he was married to a young woman at Evans port, and since that time he has spent all his spare moments in reading the bible. He was cutting corn in neigh boring farm yesterday with a com panion, and at noon they started for dinner together When they reached the dam in the Tiffin river, Gosler re- fused to cross over on the apron, say ing he would cross on the water above.
 After leaving his companion. he spent some moments in prayer and singing hymns, and then started out boldly to walk across on the water Some boys who saw him, said he ap- peared to walk all right for several paces, then he commenced to splash and founder, and finally sank from sight, still singing. When the hody was recovered life was extinct.
