Samuel Natalensky Called Him Hard
Names and in Consequence is Held
to Answer,

In and out of season Sam Wirchossky,
or some other member of his family, has
trouble in the courts. Sometimes Sam is
having people arrested and at other times
people are warming Sam.
This same Samuel is a resident of
Rosenhayn and he now claims that his
business is the manufacturing and
bottling of soft drinks. He protests that
he handles nothing of an alcoholic nature.
Sam further announces in an affidavit
that he has a fair fame, good name and
pretty generally a good credit in the
lower part of this his adopted state.
Sam claims that there is fellow citizen
of Rosenhayn who is very much opposed
to him and who wilfully attempts to in
jure him in the eyes of the people. This
fellow is Samuel Natalensky.
Wirchossky says that recently in the
office of Justice of the Peace Henry Dare,
at Rosenhayn, Natalensky was very vio-
lent toward him. He said that Wirchos-
sky was a thief and liar, that he stole
Bible from the synagogue. That he was
a moonshiner and made and sold whiskey
upon which no Government tax was
paid. Wirchossky was further character
lied as d rascal.
Now Wirchossky is a tender-hearted
importation from Russia and these cruel
words smote upon his ears in manner
that caused him much concern. There
were a good many people about and Nat
alensky told his little tale of woe in
large voice. Many people heard all that
was said and Wirchossky's credit and
reputation was seriously impaired.
The result was that Wirchossky paid
Hon. ]. l.. VanSyckel a fee to do some-
thing to Natalensky, and capias was
issued for the body of the bold defamer
On Friday afternoon the Sheriff gathered
Natalensky in and he is now in Jail await
ing bail in the sum of $500. Wirchosskys
suit is for $1,000 damages.
Natalensky intends soon to have his
bondsmen all right and then he is going
to put in few licks. He thinks he can
prove that Wirchossky is selling rum
and will see to it that he is arrested. Then
there will be heap of fun in town.

A friend of Fred Void, the young man
who created so much excitement last
week with his revolver, called at the
Sheriff's office Saturday afternoon. The
friend did not care to see Void but called
merely to inquire as to his condition and
find out if he needed anything. The
friend suggested that the prisoner might
need a change of linen or could relish
some fruit or other delicacy. But Void
disdained anything of the sort, and said
he would like only some smoking to-

DR.. MARY E. OSBORN.
An influential Woman Physician of Gin
cinnati, Who Passed Away on
Monday

Monday.
Last Monday, at lis O'Clock, there
passed into the beyond beautiful, brave
spirit, that of DIR. Mary E. Osborn, the
foremost of the women physicians of
Cincinnati. DR.. Osborn was born at PIT.
Pleasant, w. Va, February 13, 1856, the
daughter of Rev. Robert and Josephine
Osborn. She received large part of her
academic education in Cincinnati, and
was a pupil of old Woodward High
School.
family connections in Cincinnati, being a
niece of Mr.. Richard Folsom and Mr..
Osborn Hurd.
In 1888 she graduated with distinction
from the Woman's College of Phila-
delphia, receiving the degree of M. D..
Subsequently she became resident physi-
clan in the Boston Hospital, and finally
came to Cincinnati, where she has prac-
ticed her profession continuously, with
the exception of two years spent in Can
ton, O. DR.. Osborn lived at the Somer-
set, in Avondale, with her two sisters,
Miss Virginia Osborn, the principal of
the School for the Oral Training of the
Deaf, and Miss Josephine Osborn, the
sweet nurse, who has endeared herself to
so many Cincinnati women, and the ten
derest sympathy Of many hearts goes out
to the two sisters in their sore bereave-
ment. She came of a family wont to de-
vote themselves to education, philan-
thropy and Christianity, and in her family
she was it's natural leader.
DR.. Osborn made speciality of obsteri-
cal surgery and women's and children's S
diseases.
A remarkable and sad but beautiful
and mysterious circumstance of the last
two weeks of her busy life was that with
in that time DIR. Osborn performed a
most critical and dangerous abdominal
section at the Jewish Hospital, upon a
woman patient, who now, owing to DIR.
Osborn's skill, is on the high road to per-
feet health, while she who saved life is
still in death.
DIR. Osborn opened the Presbyterian
Hospital with a lecture on October l, 1890
and was house physician there with Dr.
Juliet Thorpe. At the time of Dr.
Osborn's death she was about to be offer
ed chair in the Laura Memorial College
A few days before her death she as.
sisted DR.. Zinke in a difficult operation
and then unexpectedly it became DIR
Zinke's turn to devote his skill in vair
effort to save the life of his dear co.
laborer.
Hers was life of Christian cheer and
practical usefulness, of simple faith and
noble courage. She leaves ''minds made
better by her presence" having lived.
I'm pulses stirred to generosity,
In deeds of daring rectitude, in scorn
For miserable aims that end with SELF

FlLER'S BAIL FIXED AT S250O.
o"' Two Witnesses Called, and the Case
was Thoroughly Clear in the Mind
of Justice Meyers.


of Justice Meyers.
Charley Filler, the noted burglar, was
released from Jail Thursday afternoon,
but only for little while.
While he was out in the world he was
IN the care of Justice Louis Meyers and
Constable Lore, but they soon shook all
responsibility of him and he is again oc-
cupylng separate apartments in the Jail.
Whlle Filler was out of the Jail he was
IN the Sheriff's office attending his hear
ing. There were present beside the JUS
tlce and his constable, Prosecutor Logue,
the witnesses, quite number of Shiloh
people, and we'll dressed stranger. The
Stranger was Government official-In-
spector Moore of the Postal Department.
He was sent here by Chief Edgarton, and
was anxious to secure control of Filler.
The Post Office Department desires to
hold Filler to answer to the charge of rob-
blng Post Offices, and if he was tried in
the United States Court he would prob
ably spend the next ten or fifteen years
in prison.
Justice Meyers and Prosecutor Logue,
but it is not at all probable that Filler will
be turned over to the United States
authorities. 1t is believed that several
more charges will be made against him,
and that number Of heretofore myster-
ious robberies will be cleared up.
When Filler was brought from the Jail
he was dressed as usual, carried his
wounded arm as if it was paining him,
and had quite scowl on his face.
He did not look at anybody about the
room, and sullenly listened to the read
ing of the charge against him. Justice
Meyers said:
"What have you to say to that, Char
ley?"
Nothing" curtly replied the prisoner.
Prosecutor Logue called Postmaster
Tomllnson first as a witness, but he did
not present anything new, excepting that
he told that Filler broke into the black
smith shop Of Nelson to obtain an iron
chisel, with which he bent back the hasp
OF the Yale lock on the front door of the
Post Office. The revolver taken away
from Filler was presented. 1t was g
wicked looking weapon, and was of 8.
calibre.
Prosecutor Logue asked: ''Filer, is tha
your pistol?'
Charley took the weapon, examined
carefully and replied Yes, sir"
Frank Randolph was also called as
witness, and told about the same story a
has been before published in the Pho
NEER.
The Prosecutor did not deem it wortl
while to produce the other burglar tools
and appliances.
Justice Meyers said he was satisfied
that Filler should be held, and at the sug
gestion of the Prosecutor made the bal
$500.
Have you anybody to go your bail
quered the Judge.
/ "Ill see about that in day or two,
replied Filler, and he was taken back t.
the Jail.
| AS he was going in the doorway Prose
cutor Logue asked him where he obtained
his revolver, and Filler replied on Tentl
street, in Philadelphia, and gave tn,
name of the dealer.
Filler resumed his old quarters, anC
lapsed into moody silence, and refused t.
converse with anybody about himself.

presidential Popular Vote.

There is a widespread feeling in the
country, if it does not amount to a posi-
tive conviction, that some of the laws
regulating the method by which the
choice of the people for the highest Of
fee in their gift is made have sur
vived the period of their usefulness and
ought to be revised and adapted to the
conditions of tine present time, which
differ so widely from those existing
when these laws were enacted. The in
dications are not obscure that there is a
growing desire in the country to have
the existing electoral plan re-examiped,
and possibly abandoned, SO ast0Nelect
the president by direct popular vote.
There is at least enough of this feeling
abroad to justify an impartial study of
the subject from nonpartisan stand
point, and with a view to do ample
justice to the plan as it is as well as to
ascertain whether it might be modified
SO as to become more republican in spir-
it and TO work with greater equality
