POLICE PlCKUPS
A Case Where the Jag Cure Didn't
Work.

The police court had a grind of
business Friday. The first prisoner up
was Burt Swag, who was charged
with disorderly conduct, pleaded not
guilty, and the trial set for Monday.
Edward Engle, who was out with
Swag last evening for good time and
seems to have had it, pleaded guilty
to the charge of disorderly conduct,
and was fined 1856. He didn't have
this amount left, and went to jail for
twenty days.
r. H. Buttimer, the contractor and
low-when-he-is- sober, was
carrying around large sized jag
again, and was charged with drunken
ness, second offense He pleaded
guilty and was fined 1886, in default
of which he was given fifty days in
jail. The court gave him some good
advice, but if this does any good in
this case it will be more efficacious
than the Kelley cure has proved.
Buttimer was sent to gold cure in
Stitute some time ago, and the cOun-
ty paid the bill of 300 at the last
meeting. 1t seems to have been
money thrown away, to judge from
the results.

WARNER FAMILY.
A Reunion Near Hartville That Was
Attended by Large Body
of Relatives.

The annual meeting of the Warner fam
lily was held on the customary date,
August 20,th third Thursday Of August,
on the lawn of the farmhouse of the old
Warner homestead near Hartville, Ohio.
On account of an oversight or something
else on tho part of the late secretary,
notices were not sent as has been the
custom, but despite that fact and also
the threatening aspect of the weather, the
attendance was fairly large, ls the official
count showed 1875 on the grounds, that
number representing, however, only
about hak of the usual attendance.
The blage was called to order at
2:30 O'Clock by the president, Mr.. William
Warner, for the purpose Of electing off,
cors for the ensuing year, and to decide
other matters of business pertaining to
the same. The election of officers result
ed as follows; President, J. Taylor
vice-president, II. Wertenberger; secre.
tary. r. J. Werner; treasurer. M. Werner
1t was decided, after considerable dis
cussion, that hereafter, instead Of having
basket dinner, table large enough tc
seat the entire attendance at one time
would be erected thereby making 1t more
OF family meal. The next reunion will
be held at Mrs. Cbristiana Taylor's resi-

familiar ones, which evidences the fac
that the Warner relationship promises tc
continue for many years. The gathering
was most sociable one, and every efforl
was made to make the next the larges

A. B. winnett, the farmer, who was a

a free man, unhampered by prison locks

pleaded not guilty to the charge OF
forgery, which had been preferred against
him by Officer Thomas Bruce and intro
duoed the testimony Of r. G. Smith. the
man whose name IL was alleged, he had
forged, In his behalf Mr.. Smith stated
that he had given winnett permission to
sign his name to check which was not
to he presented at any bank for payment,
but was to be used only in making bluff
when IL was necessary TO exhibit money or
collateral to make showing In business
transactions. This statement knocked
the props from under the states case, and
after short resume Of the affair by
Prosecutor Bow, Mayor Rice dismissed
the complaint and ordered the defendant
discharged from further answering.
Winnett was we'll pleased with the deois-
ion and at once left the city for his home

SECRETARY TAYLOR
Decides That the Law Requires Rep
resentative to be Elected
This Fall,

1t will be necessary to elect repre-
sentative this fall, rs the law clearly re-
quires 1t. A letter to Secretary of State
Taylor brought the following answer:
Columbus, o., August 90, 1885,
To the Editor Of the Independent:
In response to your inquiry of the 10th
inst, have to say, that, in event Of a
vacancy in the Office Of representative In
the general assem- bly,, the constitution re-
quires that the vacancy shall be filled for
the unexpired term, by election, In the
manner directed by law; and, by law 1t
is provided that, when a vacancy hap
pens, the governor shall, upon satisfactory
information, issue writ of election di-
reotirg a special election to be held to fill
such vacancy. The directions Of the
statute do not seem to give the governor
and other officers having duties to per-
form under the law, any discretion
whatever; consequently am of the
opiuion that the provisions are mandatory.
Am of opinion also that the representa-
tive elected for the upexpired term would
be entitled to draw the salary Of 5000,
whether any service was required of him
or not, as section 40 of the Revised
Statutes provide that leach member of
the general assembly shall receive the sum
Of six hundred dollars each year of the
term Of his Office, TO be paid in monthly
installments." That this is the proper
construction Of the law seems to me to be
borne out by the fact that the section
further provides that during the session
the members may be paid in monthly in
stallments not exceeding one hundred and
fifty dollars per month, and at the close
of the session the entire amount due for
the year, together with twelve cents per
mile each way travelled from and to his
place Of residence by the most direct route
of public travel to and from the seat OF
government.
Very respectfully yours,
Samuel NJ Taylor,
Secretary of State

A rip-roaring Democratic jnbilee was
held Saturday night at Magnolia. For
eight milss around, the popuIace left their
homes and iourneyed toward the pretty
little hamlet to listen to an Intelligent
discussion of the doctrines Of Democracy
by men we'll versed in the needs OF the
hour. At s O'Clock the Mangolia cornet
band played several selections In the
public square of the town. A temporary
platform was provided and soon q great
crowd of voters surrounded the speakers
stand. Mr.. l. n. Booth, Df this city, In
a masterful effort, held the close attention
of the asemblage for nealry an hour. He
entered into the spirit Of his subject with
a vim that at times was vociferously ap-
plauded At the close of his speech he
introduced Mayor James A. Rice. TIE
Introduction was received with q shout,
and Mayor Rice was accorded sturdy
ovation. He at once launched into an
eloquent and witty debate of the impend-
ing political evils and in tho strongest
terms denounced the efforts of the
moDied powers to grasp tighter the throat
of honest toll. Hts reference to the strad-
ding capacity of the Republican leader
was loudly applauded, and his apt intro
duotion of the apparent inconsistencies Of
the G. o. p. received the loud approval
of the meeting. Throughout his entire
discourse he held the attention of his
audience, and many an honest voter went
away convinced that the road to victory
and right is that trod by silver's hero,
the champion of the people, from the far
West Many Republicans expressed them
selves as supporters OF W. J. Bryan and
old leaders in the township declare that 1t
will gve majority of $50 for the Demo-
cratic nominee.
