LYNCH MAY BE INDICTED.
Tried to Work the Government for Doodle
but Failed.

warden Lyncn mas become 30 &C.
Gustomed, redeemer fashion, to work
ing the State for all there is in 1t that
he thought he would take q hand in
working some of the same schemes on
the government. Recently large
number of federal prisoners were
transferred from the Kansas Peniten-
tisry to the federal prison at LesVen-
worth. Lynch alleged that he gave
each a good suit Of clothes and S5
when they were transferred. But that
matter was stated fully in q recent
issue of the ADVOCATE. The settle
ment of the claim is matter In which
the reader will be interested; and in
rider that no charge Of partisan bias
may be made, the statement printed
by the Topeka State Journal (Rep.),
January 3, is given. 1t is as follows:
"It is now announced that Warden
Bruce Lynch, of the State Peniten-
tiary, settled his claim against the
general government for clothing and
money furnished military prisoners at
great reduction.
"Wsrden Lynch put In q bill for
$3.50, and claim for that amount on
the basis of having furnished each
convict with $l5 SUIT of clothes and
SIS in money was filed against the
United States.
"The filing of this claim brought
about an investigation,
"The investigation disclosed that the
claim of Warden Lynch was largely
wrongful one, for the reason, it Is said,
that he had paid no part of the cash
contribution to each convict, as certi.
fed to, and that the suit Of clothing
furnished to each of the convicts, in
stead of having a value of $l5, had a
value of but So. The records Of the
United States prison, as found by the
inspector, gave no evidence of any
such cash contribution, and the prison.
ers themselves deny that they were paid
any other money than that which was
legally earned by them in the States
prison, at 80 much per day, and other
small sums of money they had on
credit with the Warden.
"The United States Department of
Justice inspector confronted the
Warden with the result of his investi
CATION, who, finding he was cornered,
acknowledged that he had not paid the
conViCts the IS, as set up in the claim,
nor that the suits furnished were worth
anything like the sum allowed by the
federal government. In explanation
for his course he said that he saw a
good opportunity for the State to make
money, and he could see no reason why
it was wrong to ask for what the law
allowed, if he could benefit Its en-
ployer.
"The department inspector regarded
the Wsrden's actions and his attempt
to take in the State of Kansas as q side
partner for the purpose of securing
money by false means as an offense In
dictsble under the federal laws, and 1t
was only because the federal grand
jury, In session at LeaVenworth, had
already adjourned that the case was
not laid before it for investigation.
"Warden Lynch settled the $3.50
claim for $115."

DELAWARE is; mARIErrA o.

The Local Football Team Suffers the
First Defeat of the Season.
1t was a splendid audience that as.
sembled at the College Athletic Grounds
on Thanksgiving Day to witness the
game between the eleyens of Marietta
College and Ohio Wesleyan University,
of Delaware. The navy blue and white
colors of Marietta predominated every
where and scores of brightly decorated
vehicles were on the grounds. Pre-
yious to this game Marietta had not
suffered defeat during the entire sea-
son and the odds were in their favor to
win. Delaware had been beaten sey-
eral times, but as theMethodist boys had
been playing much stronger teams than
had Marietta, they were expected to
make fine showing, which they cer-
tainly did. fTti. t.
The teams are very evenly matched
Notwithstanding the apparent wide
difference indicated by the score. Two
of Delawares touchdowns We're scored
on palpable tlukes and the third on a
fagrant case of holding by Delaware
man, which the referee did not see.
In the long hot scrimmages Marietta
proved herself the better ground gamer
and singular as it may appear the ball
was kept in Delaware territory during
the larger part of the game.
The first touchdown was scored by
arf1 of al
of Welch's long punt from o. w. U.
territory. Shortly before the end of
the first half Hodges scored again for
Delaware by 30.yard run straight
down the field. while the Marietta boys
were digging the mud out of their eyes
after a scrimmage, Welch kicked goal
at both trials making the score 12 to 0.
In the second half Delaware undertook
TO work what they call quarterback
run, the quarter slipping out of scrim-
mage for run around the end. Davies
caught onto the trick and would have
tackled him fairly, after slight gain,
but the Marietta quarter was unfairly
held by Delaware player and another
touchdown was scored. Welch failed
at goal and the final score was 16 to 0.
1t was hard battle to lose, as the
local eleven played a brilliant game
outside of the heartbreaking flukes
that gave Delaware their scores The
work of Stone, McLaren, Dayies and
Donaldson deserves special mention.

Gang of Toughs at Wavcrly Release a

Gang of Toughs at Waverly Release a
Prisoner from Custody.
The escape of Daniel Hupp, charged
with incest, is fresh in the minds of
our readers who will remem Der how he,
with three other prisoners, last summer
cut his way through the brick wall of
the county Jail and disappeared. A
few days ago he was located by Sheriff
Dye few miles back of Waverly, w.
Va, where he was apparently leading
respectable life in the garb of citi-
zen. He was arrested by Officer Geo.
Westbrooke, of Waverly, on Thursday
and brought to Williamstown, but ow-
ing to Sheriff Dyes failure to receive a
telegram there was nobody there to re-
ceive him.
Westbrooke returned to Waverly
with his prisoner. Sheriff Dye started
for Waverly Thursday evening imme-
diately upon receipt of the belated tele-
gram, but when he arrived there found
his man had disappeared. Officer West
brooke had been surrounded by mob
of Waverly toughs, and had his keys
taken from him. The mob then un-
locked the handouts from Hupp's
wrists and he skipped. Sheriff Dye is
justly indignant oyer the high-handed
outrage and will make it warm for any
of the gang who are caught.

Attempt to Break Into Beipre Post

The scramble for supremacy in the
race for the post Office plumb in Belpre
is going merrilly on.
1t was thought by the numerous can
didates that the matter could be amic-
cably settled by putting it to vote, and
this they prepared to do but when one
of their number was informed of the
scheme, he fatty refused to risk his
chances in that way. This was rather
an unexpected turn in the affair, and it
completely surprised the others as it
opened their eyes to the fact that this
candidate probably has some pull un-
known to them. The end of the mat
ter is not yet, and 1t looks as if there
might be an interesting fight before
the thing is settled. d.-Parkersburg

FOOTBALL is finished for this season.
Now, why would it not be good idea
for the College Athletic Association to
take up tennis, and give the public a
chance to witness some first-class
tournaments wherein local or foreign
artists with racket and ball may show
their skill. Tennis, properly played,
is beautiful game, and manly one.
1t might not attract so many dollars,
nor possibly would it lose SO many.

ARSENATE OF LEAD.
A New Insecticide Used with Great Sue

A New Insecticide Used with Great Sue
cess In Massachusetts.
This new ;nsecticide has been quite
generally used by the Massachusetts,
gypsy moth commission for the ex-
termination of the gypsy moth, but ex-
periments on various trees, sirubs and
plants as well as insects have been made
incidentally in connection with the
work OF the gypsy moth commission.
At the recent meeting of the Massachu-
sets fruit growers association, Mr..
Meyer, CT the gypsy moth commission,
expressed the opinion that arsenate of
lead will soon take the place of paris
green, as the lead mixture does not burn
foliage. Mr.. Meyer reported having
sprayed nearly every shrub native TO
Massachusetts, and with no injurious re-
suits. No evil effects have been observed
by thoroughly spraying the peach,
whose foliage is so tender paris green
often has serious burning effect. In all
proven destructive to insect life. Being
mixed with glucose, it adneres to foliage
so that one spraying is usually sufficient
for season. If buds are sprayed before
the fruit forms, fruit will be uninjured.
To prepare the mixture, put II ounces
acetate of lead and 4 ounces arsenate
Of soda il hogshead containing $50
gallons of water. These substances
quickly dissolve and form arsenate of
lead, a fine white powder which remains
in suspension in the water. by adding
glucose or molasses. quarts TO each $50
gallons OF water, the insecticide adheres
throughout the season to the foliage,
even through quite heavy rains. Ar
senate of soda sells at wholesale at 8
cents per pound and acetate IF lead at
Ii cents in 25 pound quantities. These
two chemicals are a strong poison, as is
paris green.-Farm and Home.

tanned in any other way. A smooth con-
crete sidewalk, uniform throughout the
streets extent, is prominent factor
in increasing the attractiveness of n
street, as is also the maintaining OF
smooth strips of green grass by
the roadside. It would certainly pay
the inhabitants of village in the
increased value of their property
TO raise among themselves a small
sum annually, to be expended outside
the yearly highway expenditures of the
town or village corporation in what
might be termed aesthetic repairs-the
care of the trees, the greensward and
the keeping of smooth edges in the
driveway, turf and sidewalks. These
may be considered by some as small
things, but they are wonderfully CT
fective in increasing the beauty of
village streets.-Webb Donnell, in Coun-

GOOD ROADS POINTERS.

A broad tired wagon doesn't hurt any
road.
Motor carriages require good roads
and good roads are good.
Poor drainage and narrow tires are
the chief road-destroyers.
Good roads and bad roads, their adj
vantages and disadvantages" should be
amuch discussed subject at farmers in
stitutes this winter.
In France all carriages are taxed.
Those with seats for one or two persons,
$40 year lin round numbers); those
with seats for three, SIS, and for four,
$50; while bicycles and trlcycles are
taxed So each.
In France wagon tires are from three
to ten inches wide, usually from four to
six, depending upon the weight Of the
load. In Germany the law prescribcs
that wagons for heavy loads must have
q width of tire of not less than four
inches.
The roads of Europe are the growth
OF a hundred years. Napoleon began
those in France for military purposes;
those OF Germany largely grew out OF
the same causes, while Italy had only
TO keep up the ancient but splendid
highways of the early Roman con-
qucrors. In England good roads gen.
orally have arisen In the last so years.
