THAT SLAVEl

1t Was Kate, the DuskyisIaiden of Big Bot
The statement having been made that
there were at one time three negro
slaves owned in Ohio, one each in Morg-
an, Noble and Washington counties,
created some discussion and brings out
a history of the Morgan county case
from Mr.. C. C. Cheadle, of Roxbury, up
the Muskingum. He says: Paddock
Cheadle, born in Barnard, Windham
county, Vermont, May IA, 17S0, moved
to Ohio in the year, 1900 and settled on
Big Bottom, in Windsor township, on
the farm now occupied by Henry Black
ner, Paddock Cheadle married Rachel
parents were wealthy Shareholders and
among the many gifts presented to the
bride to set her up housekeeping in her
new Ohio home, was Kate, a slave,
then a young girl in her teens, from
her looks a full blooded negro of the
darkest type. Kate proved to be val
uable,part of the outfit to housekeeping.
Whether she ever knew that she was
free when she crossed the Ohio river we
can not say. However, she seemedrec-
onciled to her new home and lived with
the family all her days, content and
happy. They sold their farm on Big
Bottom and moved to Linn county, Ia,
taking Kate with them. Whether this
is the slave referred to or not it seems
to fit the case. Perhaps others can
give parallel cases of slayes being held
in Morgan county.

BIG HAUL AT CoCHRANSvILLE.

burglars Enter the store of James Hutchi-
son and Carry of Valuable Goods.
Some time during Friday night un-
known burglars entered the store of
James Hutchison at Cochransville, n
short distance below Sistersville on
the Ohio side of the river, and carried
off large amount of flour, boots and
shoes, dry goods and other merchan-
disc. The names of the thieves are not
known but certain shanty.boat resi-
dents who infest the neighborhood are
suspected, and warrants have been
issued by Squire Guvton, of this city,
for their arrest.
The Hutchison store has proven an
unluclSy one for burglars in the past.
Some years ago, when it contained the
postoffice, Henry Belford was prosecut-
ed by the U. S. government for robbing
it and served four years in the peni-
tentiary for the offense. Ben Rice,
who was a witness in the case, was
convicted of perjury and also sent to
the penitentiary, where he died. He
was the celebrated prisoner who had
his heart on the right side of his body.

ALWAYS GO AWAYFROM HOME

To Get the News.--Mr. Woods Position as
Announced Through II Parkersburg
Paper
Speaking of the proposed Marietta
and Williamstown bridge the Parkers-
burg Sentinel has the following which
will prove amusing and entertaining to
Marietta readers:
"All the members of Marietta coun-
ell except one, Wood, and the citizens
generally of Marietta are in favor of
granting Jutte the privilege of using
the streets for viaduct which extends
clear through the town. The bridge
proper will be built at the point of in
tersecton of the Muskiugum with the
Ohio and across to Williamstown.
"Councilman Wood opposed this 10.
cation and the long viaduct ostensibly
because it will interfere with naviga-
tion on the Ohio, and is opposed TO the
long yiaduct because it Injuries the ap-
pearance of the street. The true reas-
on why lie is opposing the franchise,
and he is frank enough to admit It, IS
because the railroad will be built out
in that event Parkersburg will reap all
the benefits of it and Marietta will only
he way station"

TURNS our eesseMsR STEEL.

Oxide Successfully Extracted from Rock by
Edison with the Use of Electricity.
When Thomas Edison began expert
menting with electricity as means Of
extracting iron oxide from rock n
shiver ran through the spinal columns
of iron mine owners. Then the matter
wus forgotten and the public heard
nothing more about magnetic separat-
ors until a few days ago, when the
news came out that the method was
not only perfected, but that by it 5000
tons of bessemer steel were being
turned out every day at Edison, N. j..
Mr.. Edison mas been developing his
newest discovery quietly, and now his
smelling works and their appurtenant
buildings cover many acres among the
Jersey mountains. The rock is blast
ed out of open quarries, 5000 tons at q
time, and carried by enormous electric
cranes to rollers which crush the
largest bowlders as if they were lump
sugar. After passing through n Sc
ries of these rollers the fine rock falls
past ZOO magnets, which extract the
ore, sending it along to the furnaces al
most free from eXtraneous matter.
From the furnaces the ore issues in
nuggets of bessemer steel ready for the
mills.

A Legend OF Lombardy.

An old Lombard legend tells the story
of chieftain who asked the hand of q
neighbor's daughter. Upon its being
refused him he declared war, killed the
chief who had declined the honor of be-
ing his father-in-law, and married the
girl after all. Not satisfied with this
much, he had the skull of his wife's fa-
ther mounted in gold as drinking cup,
and one day, while under the influence
of wine, ordered his spouse to appear
before the assembled guests at his
house and drink to his health out of the
horrible bowl. She did so, but ever
after was her husbands secret but most
deadly enemy. She joined in con-
spiracy which eventually resulted in the
king her husbands s assassination.

AN OVERLOOKING MEETING
At the Dedication of the New Fairview
Heights sabbath school.

At the Dedication of the New Fairview
Heights sabbath school.
A few months ago the public-spirited
citizens of that fourishing suburb
known as Fairview Heights conceived
the idea of building a non'sectarian
Sabbath School and the activity dis
played in carrying out the plan was
evidenced when the structure was for
mally dedicated Sunday afternoon.
The audience which assembled to wit
ness and participate in the exercises
was larger than the building would
hold and many were unable to gain adj
mittance. There was generous repre-
sentation from the lower part of the
city.
The dedicatory service was opened
bv Rev. E. a. Coil, who read the scrip
ture lesson. Rev. DR.. Gear and Rev,
w. Il. Roe followed with ten minute
talks on the respective subjects of Sab
bath School Work and Christian Unity.
DR.. Boyd presented the financial state
ment. Mr.. j. e. Vandervoort also
spoke briefly on the subject of Sa bbath
School work and DR.. Dickinson offered
the dedeatorial prayer. The exercises
were interspersed with music furnished
by the College Quartette and were in
teresting and impressive throughout.
The collection taken was satisfac-
tory, though the building, which is
valued at $780, is still about S4o0 in

The Finest Art of Filtration Is Adapta-

The finest art of Irritation is adapta-
bility, says Lippincott's. I do not mean
altogether to mold ones self after the
mind or mood of the object of ones
solicitude, but as rapidly as possible to
discover the broad lines of his or her
character and disposition, then, with
the courage of military leader, turn
the force of our friend, the enemy, In
that channel which may best please
ones own intelligence and purpose.
With little executive ability, and, in
case the object be a man, just Il tinge
of judicious hattery, this can be accom-
plished. Sometimes, of course, we run
our heads against II stone wall; then
something must go, and it is generally
not the wall. This is as fatiguing
process in the mental faculties as
standing on tiptoe is to the muscles
of the foot; but the mental exercise,
like the athletic, has its advantages.
The rider of one hobby has generally
another in training, if not in actual
use; and the man who cannot make
himself interesting on either of the
subjects that most absorb his own in
terests is not worth ones solicitude,
and therefore proves nothing. Sup
pressed stupidities avail themselves of
extraordinary opportunities to come to

indulgence prove entertaining from

REnouncE CHRISTMAS.
Mohammedans, Brah minis and Buddhists
DENY the Holiness of Christ.


Deny the Holiness of Christ,
There are millions upon millions of
people in the world who will not cele-
brate Christmas, and there are other
millions to whom Christmas is objec-
tionable, says the New York Herald.
Take the followers of Mohammed,
for instance. They are divided into
40 or so different sects, among which
are the Nousay-rie-yeh. There are
about $4,000 of them, and they believe
in transmigration of the soul. They
believe that mems souls pass after
death into the bodies of animals. For
tliem the story of the birth and life
OF Christ has no charms.
Then there are the Druses, who pro-
fess to have knowledge that God has
visited the world 234 times, but they
do not believe in Christ. For them
Christmas has no significance.
1t is equally disregarded by Bud
uhists, japanese, Chinese, Brahmins
and Moha1nmedans. There is no God
but Allah" says the Mohammedans,
"and Mohammed is His prophet" Mo-
hammed's followers also have curious
notions i'm regard to the fate of the un-
believers children. Some believe that
these children act as the servants OF
the faithful in Paradise, and Moham-
med is recorded as saying on one oc-
cnsion to his wife:
"If thou desirest l cam make thee
hear their cries in hadcs."
Other NIohammedan authorities
however, dissent from this view, and
one of them boldly says: II know thai
Allah will not torment those who have
not committed any sin"

HOG ORDINANCE
Not LeEal-A Decision Rendered
by Judge Debaillon Settles
that Question.

Some years ago the Police Jury
powered farmers to Kill! hogs found
depredating their crops. Acting in
accordance with that ordinance,
Antoine Hebert and B. Roche
killed some hogs belonging to John
Solari who brought suit before
Judge Brandt's court for damages.
The suit WAS decided against the
plaintiff who took an appeal to the
district court, where the decision
of the Justices court was reversed
and the ordinance declared null and
void. Hence, all those who kill
hogs depredating in their fields, can
be made to pay their value.
