ReDort of Grand jury.

To the Honorable Jas. e. Johnson,
Judge Of the Court of Common
Pleas, Hooking County, Ohio: The
Grand Jury of the Court Of Common
Pleas of said County, of the Sept.
Term, 1906, beg leave to report that
they have been in session 4 days,
and herewith return to the Court
the Indictments presented by said
Jury. We have carefully examin-
ed into all such matters as have
legitimately come to our notice,
having examined 92 witnesses,
covering 81 cases, and prest nted
II bills, and ignored 10 cases con-
sidered by us. The business has
been transacted in as expeditions
manner as possible. During our
session we have visited the County
Jail and made complete ex-
thereof, and find that
the rules prescribed by the Court
for the care thereof and for the
of its inmates, have
been carried out and properly en-
forced. We further recommend
that the room set apart and
occupied by the Grand Jury during
its sessions be so remodelcd and
repaired, as to make q good san
Itary condition of the same, as to
hatracks, water facili-
lies, etc. We find in the Jail
the pipes leading from the
water mains are not properly adj
nsted and are at this time flooding
he lower floors OF the jail and rem
lering the same very damp and
unhealthy. "a <s

its magnificent success. The new

In Old Athens

ATHENS, OHIO, September 13.-
Since it was announced that VIM.
Fink, the Democratic nominee for
Congress from this district, would
stump this county in the near
future, the Republican County Ex-
ecutive Committee has been put
ting forth vigorous efforts to
thoroughly Undue the few remain
ing Republicans with gold doc
trines so as to intercept all possibili-
ties of their falling into the free
silver ranks. Every local Re-
publican who has ever been known
in recent years to have appeared
before an audience, has been Sc
cured and the county is receiving
one of the most thorough solici-
tations ever known in its history.
Previous to his having left for
Maine, General Grosvenor deliver
ed addresses at several towns
throughout the county. Major
Charles Townsend has also figured
in the fruitless attempt to abate
the rapidly increasing free silver
sentiment.
Despite reports to the contrary,
the Democrats are not in the least
anxious as to the result in the
coming election in this district, and
especially this county. Athens, the
old-time Republican County, is the
center Of Republican anxiety, and
is the only county in the Eleventh
District that will be canvassed.
Politicians who were never known
to have done so before can he seen
daily on the street corners in this
city, making all manner of plead
ings for the maintenance of the
gold standard. This fact alone
would easily prove who it is that is
experiencing uneasiness at the out
look.
Since the report of Senator
Tillman's coming to this city, the
Republicans have been in hot
water and an effort will be made to
hold mas meeting with Foraker
or Sherman at the head, before
Tillman makes his appearance.
Attorney A. M. Lewis has been
holding silver meetings at various
points throughout the county with
the most gratifying success and
has been greatly instrumental in
the organization of Bryan clubs,
every one of which has steadily
increased in number. Regardless
of the fact this county has been for
years strong Republican one, it
is an established fact in the minds
of every one familiar with the
circumstances that the Democrats
will carry 1t at the next election
by a sweeping majority.-En.

A Tale of Woe.

Columbus Press Editoral:-
Please excuse our smiles. We
know it is not right for one to find
hilarity in the misfortune of others;
but, to tell the truth, there are
times when even misfortune can
be so closely attended by humor
that a dog would laugh if he could
get the joke through his Uranium.
II is, therefore, entirely invol-
untary on our part when our risi-
bilities become excited in view Of
the fate which has befallen that
distinguished "sopnd money" ora
tor and writer, the Hon. William
Gearhard, formerly of Columbus,
now of the Columbus city Jail. This
eminent advocate of the Sound
dollar" "full dollar" and a
"stable currency" has for some
weeks past been one of the main
stays of the Republican campaign
in this section and one of the ablest
contributors on finance. to the
columns of our esteemed contemp.
orary, the Ohio State Journal. His
arguments, in the opinion of local
Republican managers and the
State street organ, have been un-
answerable. Whether he labured
with pen or mouth, he was always
able to knock the contentious Of
the "silver looms" into smithereens.
He was particularly powerful in
"object lessons" and never held up
one to an audience or to a news
paper constituency without point
ing a moral and adorning tale.
And yet we are mean enough to
smile at Williams present plight.
1t was only last Thursday even
ing that William was advertised
TO espound the doctrine of "sound
money" to the eager Republicans
Of the Fourteenth ward. His fame
had gone before him and it was
predicted by his admirers that the
occasion would be memorable
one for the cause of "honest
finance" But through some mis-
understanding a wicked detective
collared William in the afternoon
of that very day and took him TO
the police station. TO this they
added the indignity of a search,
and 10! from Williams raimant
came counterfeit gold coin, a
twenty dollar certificate raised
from two dollars, counterfeit sill
yer dollar and a counterfeit bill Of
the denomination of ten dollars.
Then also came complaints that
William had passed these souvenirs
upon many unsuspecting persons
in this vicinity; wherefore William
was held by the cruel clutches of
the law, the Fourteenth ward |
"sound money" rally was indef-
initely postponed, and the State
Street organ was deprived of the
services of one Of its ablest con-
We repeat that 1t seems mean to
laugh; but, suffering Wanamaker,
We can't help il!

years, 6 months and 6 days.
En- the Spring of 1888 Mr. .Luker's
parents came to Ohio and settled
in Muskingum county.
There 1t was he spent his boy

Well, Who Would Have Thought II!
1t will be remembered by our
good people in this community that
Mckinley in his speeches through
here in the past few years has been
to the effect that if you will vote
for tariff your products will go
up; wool will be 50cents instead Of
25, and he showed us so nice how
this was. We Democrats plead
that the fall of prices was due to
orer production, and a few of us
that were silverites laid it. to that
cause. But Mckinley hooted at
the idea of over production lower.
ing prices; said emplatically that
it was nothing else than lack Of
tariff that lowered the price Of
farm products and reduced the
wages of labor. Now listen to
what he said at Canton o., last
Saturday: "The decrease in the
price of commodities has been 60
ing on ever since skill and genious
and invention have been at work,
and such cheapening process has
been marked and conspicuous for
third of a century,. -" What

The sixteenth annual convention of tne
American Federation of Labor was called
to order in Cincinnati ut 10 a. m. Monday,
by President Samuel Gompers. About
$50 delegates We're present and there were
many visitors. Martin Fox, President
of North America, had been selected by
the labor organizations of Cincinnati to
deliver the address of welcome. Owing
to the death of a relative MI. Fox was not
present, and his address was read by T..
j. Denny. In the welcoming address
more effective action for the eight-hour
law and other reforms were recommend
ed. Special greetings were extended
Delegates Samuel Woods and John NAL
linson of England and Louis vigoroux Of
France, who were seated with Secretary
McIrath and Assistant Secretary Mar.
tin Walters on the stage.
President Gompers, in responding to
the address of welcome, referred to at
tacks on the organization because 1t was
merely n federation and not a more COM
pact union. He showed how the fullest
scope was given to individual opinions
and rights in the American Federation
of Labor and thus the utilization of diff
ferent labor organizations was possible in
one general federation. He appealed for
continued efforts for the cultivation of
public opinion as well as for favorable
legislation and for the most earnest co.
operation of all labor organizations.

General Juan Ruis Rivera, who has
been appointed to succeed General An
tonic Maceo in the command of the
Cuban forces in the province of Pinar del
Rio. has achieved military reputation
scarcely second to that of his late chief
tain. He is q veteran of the ten years
war in Cuba, and a warm personal friend
of Commander-in-chief Maxine Gomez.
He enjoyed Maceo's confidence and es-
teen. General Rivera was born in 1S47
in Maynguez, Porto Rico. His father
was a Spanish colonel. The son was a
student in the university ut Barcelona
when the first Cuban war commenced in
1865. Although but 20 years old, he gave
up his studies and al once sailed for
Cuba, where he received a warm well
come from the insurgent leaders and was
appointed IN officer of General Gomez's
staff. Afterward he was appointed as
secretary to General Garcia and later
was made commander of the department
of the east. When the wal was ended
Rivera stood firmly with Maceo in his
refusal to accept the treaty Of peace Of
San Juan. and when the terms of the COM
pact We're finally accepted he departed in
despair to Central America, where he be-
came a planter. On the breaking out Of
the present war he at once left his home,
returned to Cuba and headed an expedi-
ton In the western part of the island. He
has since been closely connected with the
Cuban chief. He is n soldier of great
personal magnetism and Maceo's natural
successor,

with al the devotion of Il true and loyal

front him. He would only hugh her to
scorn, and her rival would triumph.
She sat down on n of the seats at tho
end of the pier, her brain on fire, her
heart beating wildly. She longcd with
an indispensable longing that the calm
and repose of death would come to he1
rescue. Life held nothing for her but
utter misery unrelieved by a CLEAN Of
happiness. Even should her husband re.
pent of his unkindness and love her with
his whole heart, it would never blot out
from her memory this terrible ordeal. II
death would but come to her and RELEASE
her from the pain and the fever of life!
Rising from her seat, she made her way
through the crowd and returned to the
hotel. She went softly up the great
staircase, and met Newsham Mt the doc,
of her room. The maid uttered an excla-
nation of alarm ut the sight of her mis-.

"Why, my lady," she exclaimed, you

II am worse, .Newsham," returned her
ladyship, II will not so down again to-

room, Lady Laura heard light and rapid
footsteps, and the Captain, looking the
beau-ideal of manly beauty in his evening
dress, stood before her.
Not coming down to dinner, Laura?'
he cried. "How is that?"
II am tired" she answered, coldly.
"Iired! You puzzle me. The quieter
