The Way the Tough Set Go After
SistersyiIIe,

Three of the toughest appearing
individuals that lever came down The
pike struck the city yesterday after
noon from Parkersburg, the city of
shady characters, and it is to be hoped
that no more of the ilk will include
Sistersvllle in their itinerary.
One of the trio of ''dlsreps" had bad
ness oozlng out all over his dirty per-
son, and in demonstrating this leading
characteristic he frightened several
ladies badly. This mug visited num-
her of business places and residences,
and in each instance was very threat
ening both in manner and language.
He did not mince words in the least.
To a prominent Main street denizen
who refused him money he said that
he would call later in the evening
when the inmates were in bed and
make a grand scoop. In Wetzels bar
per shop on Diamond street he inti-
mated that as his appeals for money
were ineffective he would procure a
sandbag and approach the people in a
different way. In a dry goods house
on Wells street he was going to have
pair of socks whether or no, and had
the only lady clerk in. the store at the
time in panicky condition.
The fellow went the whole gaumet OF
threats and persuasions, until he was
taken into custody by the police. The
officers were looking for the other two,
but the chromos had vamoosed the
city.-Oil Review.

DESTRUCTION
BY Fire in Columbus of a Fine Stock
of Millinery Goods.

A telegram was received in this city
this morning announcing the fact that
the fine new stock of millinery goods
belonging to Messrs G.. T. McCauley
" Co., of Columbus, was burned out en-
tirely.
lac telegram came to Mr.. II. M.
Clarke, one of the members of the firm
who travels for the firm selling goods.
Mr.. Clarke was seen at the Bellevue,
and stated that the stock of goods was
completely new in every detail and
that the loss to goods alone would
probably amount to $4,000 The
building is located at 237 North High
street, in the same block as the Chit
tenden Hotel, and is AZ by 1877 feet in
size, four stories and all occupied
with the millinery business.
The only advlces that could be gain
ed from Columbus were very meagre,
but it was stated that the fire was still
raging, and being right in the business
portion of the city as it is, the loss can
not even be estimated as we go to
press.
Mr.. Carke, who intended going to
Cincinnati this morning, changed his
plans upon receipt of the intelligence
and went to Athens from here, where
he will take the Hooking Valley train
for Columbus this morning and be on
the scene of the disaster as soon as
possible.
1t is hard blow to a new firm, but
Mr.. Clarke said that If they could get
roof to cover their heads they would
soon be doing business again.

Scio College May go ts- CAMBRIDGE

Scio college wants to move and some
of our citizens are trying to induce it
to locate here. Col. ]. D. Taylor offers
location of twenty-five acres of
ground and If the city will buy an ad-
jacent grove and convert it into city
park he will donate the price paid for
the grove TO the college. The college
wants a free site and $4,000 in money,
but the people of this town do not want
the college as bau as the college wants
the money. We have the best public
school in the state and can get along
for awhile, at least without college.

The Worlds Largest Grapevines.

It has been already announced by
telegraph that old age is telling upon
the big grapevine in Ell Montecito
Valley, few miles from Santa Bar
bara, Cal. The vine has the distinc-
ton of being the largest in the world,
but it IS rapidly dying, and the owner
of the property upon which it stands,
Albert McGee, has offered it to the
Santa Barbara Chamber of Commerce.
It is to be cut down soon and the
trunk and so much Of the branches as
can be accommodated in the building
will form a permanent exhibit III the
Chamber Of Commerce rooms
The original ''mother vine" as it
was called, died in 1879, and the year
following it was taken to the Centen-
nial Exposition at Philadelphia, where
| it was viewed by thousands as a re-
markable illustration Of CALIFORNIA; s
productiveness. The old vine stood
near the younger one. It was three
of trunk and the spreading branches
covered a trellis seventy five feet
square. The present vine Is only
three or four inches smaller in cir
cumference than its parent, and it
covers nearly as much space 1t has
produced four tons of grapes il a sin
| gle season in its prime. 1t is now
nearly 100 years cid.
When the Montecito vine is gone,
Santa Barbara County will still claim
the largest grapevine on earth, for on
a ranch IN the Carpinteria Valley
there is growing thriftily a double
vine said to come from single stock
! below the surface OF the ground. This
i double vine at Carpinterla IS over six
