why they give out the soonest.

DR.. Charles Balger of Cincinnati
stopped Off this morning as he was
returning from Logan, to spend an
hour with his old friend Mr.. Joe
Mattox. Joe and Charley, as they
were known in Logan, were boy
hood friends and boon companions,
They went to school together play
ed "hooSey" together, blistered
their backs in the local swimming
holes together, and caught tons up
on tons Of imaginary fish, with
primitive pin hooks and wiggling
worms, in the days Of their callow
youth along the banks of the tor
tuous Hook Hooking. Now Charley
is dignified professional man in a
great city and Joe, who, as a boy
sold papers for the editor of this
paper in 1877, is now one of the
most thriving, pushing, successful
business men OF the Hooking Val
ley.

We regret indeed to chronicle the
demise OF one Logan's most noble

OF those around her, ever alert to
doing acts of Kindness in times OF
bereavement, and deeds of charity
to the poor and oppressed. She
came as light to the bedside OF
the sick neighbor, always cheerful,
always helping. 1t may be well
said OF her that the world IL better

Active operations in the erection
of the new st. Johns Catholic
Church were temporarily discon.
tinued on Monday last owing to
dissatisfaction among the members
of the congregation as to the quail
ity of the brick used in the super
structure. Contractor Kintz claim
ed he was using the quality of brick
called for in the specifications but
this did not seem to satisfy the
objecting members and the archi-
tect was sent for TO settle the dis.
pute. The pastor, Father Powers,
called meeting of the heads OF
the families of the congregation
last Wednesday evening at the
pastoral residence at which time
the question of brick was fully
discussed. 1t was finally decided
upon to tear down the walls so far
up and replace with the rock faced
brick. This is wise move of our
Catholic neighbors and we COM
mend them on their selection of
brick. The brick used are manu-
factured in our own city and will
give additional employment 10
home labor. The meeting Of the
members was productive OF good
results. At the meeting building
committee of four, Messrs Rudolph
Brown, N. j. Weiland, John Mo-
rarity, Geo. Shorr and the pastor,
Rev. Father Powers ex-officio were
to have charge OF the
erection of the church and look |
after the material to be used In Its
construction. A meeting OF the
committee was held last evening
to discuss matters of interest per,
to the new church but
which were given us too late for
publication in this issue.

II. Chappell, bonneville, Va, is very
emphatic in her commentator of this

there is no medicine like DR.. Bulls
Baby Syrup for babies. I would as
soon think Of raising them without

Baby Syrup for them" This effica-

Agricultural.
VARIETIES OF CORN

Bulletin IS OF the Ohio Expert
ment Station contains O summary
of six years. experiments in the
culture of corn, including compari-
son of varieties, cultural investiga-
tlons and experiments on smut.
In the comparison of varieties q
large number of sorts have been
grown side by side on the Station
grounds, both at Columbus and at
its present location at Wooster,
and several OF the more promising
sorts have also been tested by the
farmers in different parts of the
State.
Thus far, the Station has not dig.
covered that the color of the corn
has any fixed relation to either its
productiveness or its quality. Some
white varieties are better than
some yellow sorts, and vice versa ;
the point that seems to be of prime
Importance is adaptation to soil
and climate, as in this respect corn
is more variable, probably, than
any other largely grown crop.
AS between the two great class.
es, flint and dent, the choice for
Ohio seems to lie decidedly with
the dent varieties, and these have
been grouped for convience into
large, medium or small, according
to the size of the ears.
AS rule the largest varieties,
such as Chester County Mammoth,
Clouds Early, Golden Beauty and
Early Mastodon, among the yellow
sorts, and Hickory King and Hess
White, among the white sorts,
should only be planted in the warm
rich valleys of the southern part of
the State. Leaning, Big Buckeye
and Riley's Favorite (yellow) and
Maryland White Dent, Early White
Dawn and Rustler White may be
successfully grown in most seasons
as far north as the fortieth parallel,
and even up to the forty-frst in fa-
vorable situations.
For the northern half of the State
the medium varieties are more re-
liable; among these the Clarage,
Queen of the Prairie, King of the
Prairie, King of the Earies, Mort
gage Litter and Pride of the North
among the yellows, and White Cap
and White Prolific are the most re.
liable. The Clarage is preferred at
the Station over all othar varieties
yet tested for this region.
CORN SMUT.
The smut of corn is q fungous
disease, caused by minute parasi-
tic plant, which grows in the parts
where smut boils are afterwards
formed. The smut masses are
chiefly the spores of the fungus,
and serve to spread the disease.
The complete success which hi s
followed the treatment of the seed
for the prevention of the smut OF
oats and wheat led to the hope
that similar treatment might pre-
vent the smut of corn, but series
of experiment made by the Ohio
Experiment Station, and reported
in Bulletin 6S, indicate that the in
lection of corn by smut may take
place at any time during the growth
Of the plant and that no treatment
Of seed is likely to be of any avail
IN checking it. The only remedy
that can be sugg ested at present is
The careful burning of all smut
1oils before they rupture and using
he manure from animals fed on
corn on some other CROP

The Result of the Ever

ola Drunken Brute.
An Ice Cream Supper Ends In Fatal
Shooting AfrraY.--The Particulars
as Learned by the Ohio Democrat
Reporter.


as Learned by the Ohio Democra
Reporter.
Last night at 1916 Sheriff Ryar
received telegram to come a.
once to Longstreth, as a murdel
had been committed. Upon receip
of the telegram the Sheriff took the
1927 train for the scene of the
tragedy. The OHIO DEMOCRAT re
porter upon hearing the news o.
the shooting, at once repaired tt
the telegraph Office, where through
the courtesy of Mr.. Will Finney
the gentlemanly night operator
who manipulates the electric keys
and who had received the particu-
lars over the wire, gave us the de-
tails of the demons work, the par
ticulars of which are as follows
An ice cream supper was being
given at IIongstreth for the benefit
of the church there and every thing
was going along nicely and the
large crowd of intelligent miners
and their wives enjoying them
selves, when young man, Arthur
Barber by name, whose residence
is reported at Monday O., appeared
on the scene, much the worse for
liquor and wanted to run things to
suit himself. He was remonstrat.
ed with and asked to be quiet or
he would have to leave. Thi
seemed to make him worse and
without moments warning he
whipped out gun and began to
fire promiscuously into the crowd.
A Mr.. Christian and his son Dunk,
of Carbon Hill, were the victims of
the demons wrath, being unfortun-
ate enough to get within range of
the messenger of death. Seven
shots in all were fired, five of the
balls finding lodging place in the
body of the son, the old gentleman
receiving the other two. After the
shooting the drunken rowdy broke
and ran in the direction of his home
at Monday, o., and on the road en-
countering young man whom he
threatened to she OF, but after much
pleading by the young man he let
him go. The neigh0orhood is thor
oughly aroused and posses of angry
men are securing the surrounding
hills searching for the murderer,
and if caught, lynching bee viii!
be the result. At :35 message
received from the operator at Mel
sonville states that fellow was
seen to climb the fast freight car
attached to the late passenger train
passing through that town at 1850
and it is thought that he was the
one who committed the deed.
Young Barber who did the shoot.
ing, is only % years old.
Young Christian died almost in
stantly, while his father is hover
ing at deaths door with no hopes
Of saving his life.
LATER-Sheriff Ryan has just
returned from the scene Of the
shooting, and gives in detail about
the same as we received over the
wire. He has under arrest one man,
Dupler, who purchased the cart
ridges for Barber and loaded his
revolver for him, telling him to go
up in the hall and clean out the
s. b's, and he would stay with
him. The Sheriff dispatched his
buggy with Oupler to Jacksonville,
and he crawled up In the bushes
near Barber's home, and watched
all night for the fugitive murderer
but failed TO see him. He re-
turned this morning to that vicinity,
and is confident that he will secure
the culprit before dark.
