THE SEVERE HEAT.

Last Sunday was the hottest day
ever experimenced in Logan. The
register of the government themom-
erter was 103 degrees. The heat is
appalling, and the strange and fortu-
nate circumstance is that no one in
our town fell dead in the blasting
heat. Monday morning was equally
as hot, but in the afternoon, a cool
breeze from a rain storm passing
south, cooled the air and made life
endurable. Not only here, but all
over Ohio the heat of Sunday was
unusual, and in the cities the deaths
from sun stroke are reported by the
hundreds.
Monday afternoon various parts
of Ohm were visited by terrific
wind and rain storms from which
much damage was sustained. Gin
cinnati was flooded with rain in the
afternoon and Berca III the northern
prrt of the state was destroyed by
whlr lwind, the buildings and every
thing in them were car ried off and
torn to fragments; Our Valley with
its protecting bills, has escaped the
storms and we may indeed
be thankful.

The Tourist Club had pleas
ant reception on Friday evening of
last week at the residence of Mrs. r.
d. McManigal on North Mulberry St.
The house was handsomely decorated
and the ground brightly illumiuina-
ted. About two hundred of COM
pany were in attendance and sumpt-
uously served and entertained with
the delicacies of the season. The
ladies in waiting were in Greek cos
tune and looked like yertiable and
appropriate ministers to the gods OF
Olympus, and their successors the
gentlemen of Logan.
There is 2 gang of yonng toughs
who prowl around in the alleys and
stand in dark places on the streets,
for no good purpose. Barps are
broken into, bouses are entered,
women are insultingly addressed.
These toughs have no respect for
law nor decency, no fear Of the Of
6cer. No honest man or gang of
men have any business prowling in
the alleys and in the back yards at
unreasonable hours of the night.
They are around for no good. The
honest man at midnight may cal! OF
his neighbor but he comes to the front
and knocks. The way for our citizens
to do is to load the shot guns and
when gang of rowdies is discovered
about their premises, and
shoot them as they would pack of
wolves. The law for the sneaking,
skulking midnight prowler is the Shot
Gun. A half dozen or more no uses
within the past week have been en-
tered by the midnight sneaks. In
this season doors Of houses and barns
are kept open. LOAD the shot gun.
The honest man comes to your front
doors and knocks. The outlaw sneaks
up the alley. Open the door to your

OBITUARY.

Rest from thy labor rest.
Soul Of the just set free,
Blest be the memory. and blest
Thy bright example be.
Thou child of God, well done!
Thy glorious warfare's past,
The battles fought, the victorv's won.
And thou art crowned at last.
A long and useful life has come to
its earthly close. The heavenly pof-
tails have opened to receive another
redeemed soul. Margaret Ann,
daughter of Lemuel and Eliza James,
was born in Loudon county, Virginia,
December 10th, 1924. During her
childhood the family moved to ;Lo-
gan, @. She was united in marriage
to Oakley Case, January 21, 1845.
Eight children were the result of this
union. Mr.. Case died Nov. IL, 1884.
Mrs. Case was converted and uni
ted with the NJ. p. Church a short
time after her marriage, and contin-
ued a faithful member until her
translation to the Church Triumphant.
She has been in i'll health for several
years. She was Frustrated by a
stroke of paralysis, about t,wo years
ago, and has been an invalid ever
since. Often during that time it was
thought that the end was near, but
ber remarkable vitality enabled her
to live beyond the anticipasions of
her friends. She was patient, un.
complaining and perfectly resigned,
as the many months passed. Her
trust in the Savior was strong and
abiding. and she frequently expressed
2 desire to depart and be with Christ.
She She passed from earth to her heav-
emily home July 1st, 1897, aged 72
years, s months and 16 days. Four
children and nine grandchildren
survive her. Her religion was of the
positive, practical type. She lived
unselfshly for her family and her
friends. Her heart responded to
every call upon her for assistance,
and with willing feet she went upon
errands of helpfulness to the many
who desired and gratefully received
her kindly services. Although her
convictions were firm, and her nature
strong and rugged, yet she was in
sympathy with the needy and all WHO
came within the sphere of her many
deeds Of kindness. She lived not for
herself, but for others. and her life
was fragrant with those acts which
are helpful, and WHICH bless our fel-
low men.
To comfort aud to bless, -;
To find u balm for woe,
To tend the lone and fatherless,
Is angels work below.
Many who have been the recipi-
ents of her gentle ministries will in
the Great Day rise UP and call her
blessed. To such as she the King
Will say: swell done, thou good
and faithful servant" Such lives
are benediction to the world, and
the fragrant memory of their good
deeds are source of pleasure and
delight to the living. -;
Blessed soul, thy days are ended, -.
All thy toiling days below;
Go, by angel guards attended, e''irl
To thy home with Jesus 60!
Waiting to receive thy spirit.
Lo thy Saviour stands above;
sayes thee through His precious merit. |
Reaches out the crown of love.

MASSACRE or A BRITISH FORCE.
Treactlerous Natives on India's Frontier

Treactlerous Natives on India's Frontier
AnnihiIate Military Column.
A despatch from Simla, the residence Of
the Indian Government officials during the
heated periods OF the year, announces seri-
Gus trouble on the northern frontier and
the massacre OF number Of British officers
and native soldiers in the Government en-
ploy.
From the particulars abtainable at pres
ent it seems that two guns belonging to a
Bombay mounted battery, escorted by 800
men belonging to the First Regiment OF
Sikhs and to the First Punjab infantry, were
treaeherousIy attacked in the Tochi Valley
by a large force Of hostile natives.
The first report said that Colonel Bunny,
two officers and twenty-five privates had
been killed.. and that three officers and
twenty-five privates had been wounded.
In addition, numbers Of mules and horses
are reported killed.
Further details show that political
officer, Mr.. Gee, was visiting Shirani with
an escort Of troops, when he was attacked
at Maiza by vastly superior forces. The
British troops were compelled to retreat,
and were followed for several miles by
overwhelming numbers Of the enemy.
The fighting was desperate. All the
British officers were severely wounded.
Captain Browne, Of the First Sikhs, son
Of the late Sir James Browne, and Lieu
tenant Crookshank, Of the Royal Artillery,
were killed, and Surgeon Higginson, Lieu
tenant of the First Sikhs, and Lieutenant
Seaton-B Browne, OF the Puniab infantry,
were wounded.

and visitors prefer to ride on 1t rather than
to look at the many wonderful displays OF
arts, crafts and sciences that may be seen
in the main buildings.
The foundation Is placed on terrace
twenty-five feet high. The main support
Of the structure is tower 100 feet In height,
built entirely OF steel. Across the top Of
this tower there is swung a rectangular
steel beam 200 feet in length. On either
end Of this beam is suspended car capable
of holding about forty persons.
When one end OF the beam is depressed
and the other raised to its greatest limit
the total height is somewhat under the,
height Of the supporting tower. This makes
the greatest height Of the structure some
thing less than 200 feet. To this must be
added the height Of the terrace, namely,
twenty-five feet. A person, therefore, who
takes ride in this seesaw is gently lifted
from the earth to an elevation OF nearly
225 feet.
The motor and machinery are built es-
pecially for the seesaw, and, rather curious.
ly, are located in the top OF the tower, q
fact which enables the engineer who runs
the motor to assert that he is the highest
in the world. The machinery drives the
beam by means OF cog gearing. operating
on two large twenty-fye-foot arcs.

Axe and Set the House on Fire.

Thom,s Neal Murdered Them With an
Axe and Set the House on Fire.
A few weeks ago Thomas Neal, who lived
in remote part Of Chester County, South
Carolina, suspected his young wife, Ma
thilda OF infidelity. He charged her with
it, and she left his home. going to her
grandmother, Mary jenkins. who lived
near ty. The husband spied on his wife,
and a few nights ago saw some one enter
the house. He broke the doo- in with an
axe. The first person he met was his wife
and lie buried THE blade Of the axe in her
head. The only man in the house was the
aged grandfather, Eli jenkins, who ran out
OF the house and hid under it. Mrs. Jenk-
ins attempted to escape by the back door
but was overtaken by Neal and felled with
the are.
Neal then drew his pistol and killed a cat
that was in the room and fred two shots
into the head Of the grandmother. He then
poured kerosene over the two bodies, set
the clothing on fire, and took seat in the
yard. Just as Mr.. Jenkins was about TO
face the murderer's pistol rather than stay
under the fire, party OF men came by and
he ran to them. They arrested Neal, but
he escaped and has not been recaptured.

EVERY student of forestry" says the

tions to the foreign correspondents OF
the State Department to secure seeds
and shrubs from Russia and other
countries for the purpose of testing
their growth ON the great plains of this
country. Austria, Russia and other
countries have succeeded in reclaimlng
large areas of land and growing there
on great forests, and Mr.. Wilson be-
lieyes the same thing can be done IN

The Atlanta Constitution exclaims:
Twenty-Five years ago the South pur-
chased her seed corn almost entirely
from the North; to-day she produces
corn in abundance, and not only salts
fles her own wants, but the wants OF
other purchasers. Most of our South
ern States, besides raising large guam
titles of wheat and other cereals, pro-
s..5e their own meat supplies, and
there is less suffering to-day in the
South than in any other section of the
country.

AGED WOMAN STARVED TO DEATH.

Her Idiotic Brother Sat Beside the Body
Large Sums OF Money in the House.
Miss Hannah King, aged eighty-five, was
found dead in bed at her home in Philadel-
phia, and sitting beside her on chair,
alive, was her idiotic brother. man about
her age. There was every indication
that the woman had been dead for some
time, and that her death was due to starva-
tion. The only food found in the house
was crust OF bread as hard as stone and
covered with mould. The two occupied
the same house for fifty years, but for the
last eight years have seldom been seen on
the streets. The aged couple possessed
considerable property between them,
which, it is said, will amount to 100000
1t Is believed that large sums OF money are
hidden about the house, and squad Of po-
lice has been placed on guard. The idiotic
brother, who Is unable to give any explana-
tion, was sent to the Philadelphia Hospital.
