DIVORCED FOR A PURPOSE.
Romantic story of Cambridge Couple
Who Defeated the Spirit of Will.

| Romantic story of a Cambridge Couple
! Who Defeated the Spirit of Will.
| The Republican Press has the follow
ing: In 1883 Louis Riggle married Miss
Esther j. Galbraith, the daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. James Galbraith, wealthy
citizens residing near Fairview, this
county. A few years after the mar
riage Mr.. Galbraith died, leaving all
his property to his wife. In 1895 Mrs.
Galbraith died leaving a will which
by its provisions indicated that she did
not have a good opinion of her son-in-
law. Her estate was placed in the
hands of w. S. Heade, ESQ, of this city
as trustee. The will provided that the
property should be converted into
money and invested in bank stock or
other securities as the trustee might
think best and that the interest should
be paid to her daughter, Mrs Riggle,
aud support, so long as she remain the
wife of her present husband, Louis
Riggle, and in the event of the termi-
nation of the marriage relations, either
by death or enforcement, then, and in
that event, the trustee should pay over
to her daughter the whole of the said
estate. This will on the face of it,
would look like a clincher so far as
Louis was concerned but the old say
ing, where there is will there is
way" was verified in this case and as
it turns out the will of Mr.. and Mrs.
Riggle overcame the provisions of the
will of the mother-in-law. Soon after
the will was probated and the provi-
sions made known, Louis left for the
West and the good people of Fairview
believed that the martial con ntract be-
tween the husband and wife had been
broken for all time. A few months
ago Mrs. Riggle presented to trustee |
Heade certified copy of a Dakota de-
cree of divorce granted to Mr.. Riggle, !
and demanded her property. Mr.. |
lieade had but one thing to do and !
that was to transfer the property to .
Mrs. Riggle which he did. AS soon as .
the transfer was made Mr. Riggle !
appeared at Fairview and on Monday
Judge Weyer issued marriage license

SATURDAY, JAN. 80. ss7

The question of the issuing of forty
thousand dollars bonds for school build
ing purpose is the one that is uppermost
in the minds of the people. On all
sides the matter isl discussed. AS is
usual in cases where there arises a call
for large expenditure of money by the
public, those who are not affected by
the increased taxes resulting there
from, are disposed to rush in and vote
yes" The people who pay the taxes,
and hence have to foot the bills, are
apt to go little slow, and look at the
subject from numerous angles of econ
mics.
We are confronted today by a condi-
tion; and try as we may, we cannot run
away from it. We haye got to make,
rent or borrow more room for the ac-
commodation of our school children.
How is it best to proceed? 1t is pretty
generally considered Il good business
proposition that it is cheaper to pay in
terest than rent. 1t is possible, and
even probable in all well regulated
communities, for the former to be re-
duced: while the latter, like Tenny-
sons Brook, goes on forever-with the
possibility, unlike the Brook, that it
may run uphill. With interest, too,
goes ownership and substantially,
Which shall we choose between the
two? We've got TO take one!
Forty-thousand looks like tremend-
Gus sum, and so it is, but that amount
added to our present belongings in
school property places us far down the
list of cities in Ohio of our class, with
which it is most reasonable to make
comparisons.
We think it would be wise for the |
Board to make as definite statement
as is possible of where they expect to
spend the proposed sum. 1t would |
throw more light on the subject and |
probably expose to public view the en-
tire reasona bleress of their propo-
sition.

THE FIRST MAIL
Carried In Ohio 90 Years Ago from Mari.
eta TO GAINESVILLE.

A writer to the Cambridge Sun of last
Saturday says: THE first mail carried
in Ohio was in l79s, these were from
Wheeling over the Zane Trade to Lime
stone, now Maysville, KY, and from
Marietta to McCullough's cabin, at the
ferry at the crossing of the Muskingum
river, now GAINESVILLE. These were
weekly mails, intersecting at McCul-
lough's cabin, and he had the authority
to open and assort the mails The post
office was opened at GAINESVILLE in 1903.
In 1905 John Beatty, at the cabins at
the crossing of big Wills creek, had au-
thority to open the mails. In 1907 Cy-
rus p. Beatty was appointed by Thomas
Jefferson as postmaster at Cambridge,
in Muskingum county, O. He held the
office for number of years. Iu these
early days there was but little letter
writing. The postage was so much that
only business letters passed through
the mails. We have in our possession
old letters showing postage paid of Gi4,
1215, 1874, % and 2719 cents. There was
no prepayment and many letters were
sent to the dead letter office, because
the person addressed didn't have the
money to pay the postage Letters
were sent by travellers from town to
town. This came to be done to such an
extent that Congress in 1917 passed
law making it criminal offence for
any person but mail carriers to carry
letters
