At six o'clock Wednesday, March 4,
1896, Mrs. Eleanor Purvis, in her 10th
year, was called to that unknown real
ity which awaits all.
She was born May 10, 1921, at Buff
ialo, N. Y. Soon after Mr.. and Mrs.
William Thompson, her parents,
moved to Detroit. where her father
died; after which her mother came
with her family to Perrysburg.
The deceased was married Sept. 20,
1887, to Thomas j. Purvis, a worthy
citizen, who was actively engaged in
ship building up to the time of his
death, Nov. 3, 1859.
To them were born ten children

only survive her.
Her three sons, seven grandchildren,
Oliver Thompson her only surviving
brother. with neighbors and many
friends know the makeup of the noble
qualities she possessed,
A faithful wife, kind, generous
mother and with ever a pleasant way
toward all; never complaining, meeting
the trials OF lite as they came, with
commendable patience.
During her SO years OF widowhood
she had unusual health and only with
in the past year becoming somewhat
helpless. A general weakening of her
once strong constitution, and age may
be attributed TO her death.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. G.. A. Adams on Friday,
o'clock y. M, at the residence on Fifth
street, when relatives and friends paid
the last tribute OF respect to one loved
by all.
As children, brother, neighbors and
friends we can well hope to be guided
by her plain, unassumlng traits d
character the memory of which may
aid us to do our duties more faithfully

Rev. Fisk. u noted divine of Toledo,
says that eight hours should constitute
a days labor, and holds that long hours
tend TO prevent mental development
and make man feel that he is but a ma
chine while the overstrain taxes his
nerve power until it breaks. He says
long hours are due TO pagan eoncep-
tion Of mar and an erroneous economic
idea Of a machine. The reverend gen.
tleman Is right and the sooner the en-
plOyers and employees throughout this
conntry come to realizing sense OF the
proper relation the one should bear 10
the other the eight hour day will be
adopted. Work and work faithfully
and honestly for eight hours aud II is
all man should do. The old masonic
law OF dividing the "a hours OF the day
into three equal parts" whereby we
have eight hours for our usual avoca-
tion, eight hours for the relief OF the
worthy, and eight hours for refresh
and sleep, is, we believe, the proper d.
vision Of time allotted " mankind.

Spring politics are beginning to
boom and the political pot is piping
hot. There are only six Democratic
candidates for Marshal reported at this
stage of the game, and almost an equal
number of Republicans who would
proudly wear the badge of that office.
AS yet candidates Tor Mayoralty, and
the Couuciimanic honors have not been
given out. There is such big pay and
SO much honor connected with those
offices that candidates are rather slow
in announcing themselves.

The above letter leads one to believe
that it might have been written to save
the Prosecutor from the righteous
wrath of Architects Yost S Packard.
He may haye thought it cheaper to
write the letter than to be prosecuted.
But what a complimentary document
1t is for the members OF that Grand
Jury to read. He intimates that they
didn't understand their business and
says they were SO prejudiced that they
''were ready to find Indictment against
any person." That being the case,
how about those other indictments
found by that same jury? Were they
all the result OF a prejudiced and unfair
jury Were they further samples OF
the persecution that was aided and
abetted by this same Murphy who
wrote the above letter? Now that the
campaign is beginning to open up, will
not this same Murphy IN order TO be
renominated write similar letters Ia
prominent Wood county people telling
them that the grand jury was preju-
diced and should not have indicted
them? Was there ever a more dis
gusting spectacle than this official Il?
presents Even the Tribune wonders
il he has been carrying water on both
shoulders. Certainly not, dear Tribune

APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS.

The following address was issued from
the democratic congressional commit.
tees headquarters in Washington last
night:
'7o the Voters of the United States
SIN the preliminary battle of the people
against the plutocracy the people have
already won. In spite of an expendi-
ture of money so large that the civiliz-
ed world stands appalled, at its magni-
tude, to-day large majority of the
people Of the United States are in open
revolt against the merciless gold stand
ard aud the domination of the country
by the syndicated wealth of Europe and
America, interested in securing or pre-
venting legislation and in controlling
the execution of the laws in their in
terest.
"All that is necessary to secure the
registering of the peoples will is to see
that every voter comes to the polls and
casts an unpurchased ballot. Many oil
the millions collected by the syndicates
have been reserved for election day.
Beaten at every point, the last resort OF
money is to buy the ballot of the voter
by purchasing his absence from the
polls or to coerce his vote by intimida-
ton. To prevent this is possible if every
patriot will do his duty.
every member OF club must 90 to
the polls early in the morning of cleo
ton day, cast his ballot and remain
there until the polls close and the re-
suit is announced. Take care that every
voter gets to the polls and casts his
vote. Note down the name OF every
absent voter. Let it be known that the
citizen who fails to vote, unless pre-
vented by extreme illness, has either
been purchased by the money of the
corruptionists or is otherwise unworthy
to be called citizen"
