+" The DYING of Death"

l. death d,i gp Yes; i. e., IL fear OF
it. On no fact within the ra ge of human
experience has mans thought changed so
radically in 80 years. Life Insurance is an
important factor IN this charge. The ter
rors Of death are largely rensov rom
every man with the instincts Of hum unity
in his breast, who feels that, whenever
death overtakss rim, bis personality is
extendt beyond the g. ave, and that ample
provision is made tor those today depend
ent upon his support. BY life insurance
he can SO arrange bis affairs in the little
section Of the world dear to him that even
death cannot upset them. He has more
selt-respect; lite means more to him, and
death means less. Have you SO arranged
your affairs See the advertisement O.

STRUCK A HEADER.

Wednesday morning, a young man
from Chicago, who had come through
on his wheel, and was going to Colum-
bus, started down the Zanesield hill.
Owing to the bends in the road, he
could not see that the hill was so long
and steep. Coming from fiat country
he had no brakes on his wheel, and as
it whirled down the hill, he lost control
of it, and as he reached the bend in the
pike, in front of Mr.. o. H. Fawcett's
residence, it shot straight ahead, strik-
ing board fence and threw him under
the fence. He lay there unconscious
| till Mr.. Fawcett and wife and Cornelius
Arbegast went to the rescue. Mrs. F.
having had several cases of the kind,
went with a camphor bottle and a pan
of water, and the young man was soon
ready to start on his way, but walked
down the hill and took the old reliable
d. & L. N. train and wheeled it into
Columbus in a coach. He had quite a
cut in his forehead and was badly
bruised, but was not seriously injured.
He said he had come 250 miles, and this
was his first accident. The tire was
knocked off, but the wheel was not
otherwise injured.

KILLED BY LIGHTNING.

During a heavy storm at Spring
Hills, Mrs. Catharine Chester, or better
known as Grandma Chester was
k illed.
There was a terrific thunder storm
aboutnoon, Monday. She was sitting near
the door smoking when the lightning
struck the house, killing her instantly.
She made her home with her son-in-law
Oliver Everett. The accident was sad
indeed as grandma was jolly and very
sprightly old lady of "a years. :
Emerson Kits House miles south OF
Springhills was also struck, damaging
the house considerably, but fortunately,
no one was hurt.

WHO IN THE BATTLES CRUEL
STRIFE,
Laid Down Their Life, Laid Down
Their Life.

Perhaps never before, did the Nation
do honor SO generally to the memory o1
the men who saved its life, as on Tues
day. AS it was throughout the Nation
SO it was in our city, and in our county
The procession in our city was one o1
the largest and most creditable that
ever marched to the cemetery with
flowers to deck the soldiers graves.
The old soldiers turned out in large
numbers.
The soldiers of the Spanish-Americar
war, with their close ranks, firm step
determined bearing, and soldierly
appearance, were more like the soldiers
that marched down Pennsylvania ave-
than were we who opened ranks to honor
them.
The Knights of Pythias and the Jr
o. U. A. M. honored us with their pres
ence, and awakened a warm spot in oul
hearts for their recognition.
And the Women of the Relief Corps
without whom half, yes more than half
our success would have been lost, bless
ed us with their presence and tasteful
and thoughtful preparations and assist
ance.
To the gentlemen of the martial band
and the circus band, we were also in
debted for their courtesy and invaluable
assistance.
The young ladies on horseback who
acted as escort added much to the
beauty of the procession.
And to all who decorated, or who
gave us their aid or sympathy, the old
soldiers return sincere and heartfelt
thanks.
AT Zanesfeld, at Equality, at Rush.
sylvania, at Huntsville, at DeGraff, and
at all points we have advices from
there was an unusual expression o1
interest, an unusual crowd, and more
than ordinary interesting exercises.
1t is a hopeful omen, that the Nation
SO remembers what they did, and sc
appreciates their sacrifice.
In the afternoon, Gen. O'Neil, of Leb.
anon, addressed fine audience in the
Opera House and received a warm
greeting from his old comrades, who al.
ways welcome his appearance among
them. Capt. Emerson also responded
to call, but spoke briefly.
Mr.. Harry Kerr, Mr.. HI. Whitworth,
Mr.. James Fulton, Mr.. Ike Kennedy and
Mr.. Frank Whitlock sang a number OF
appropriate pieces.
The decorations of the stage were fine
and testified of the love and devotion OF
the Womens' Relief Corps.

CLEAN UP THE CEMETERY.

Mr.. EDITOR: Where will the money
come from? Whose duty is it to do the
work? When lots in our cemetery sell
for from $40 for enough ground to dig
one grave to 1925 for choice family lots,
and lot owners pay four dollars for each
grave dug, and five dollars for each oak
box, then pay from $1.50 to So. 90 to have
lots cared for, it does seem too bad that
the old soldiers should need to wade
through tall grass to decorate the graves
on memorial day. Could not the whole
cemetery be moved at least once year?
1t is said no money is paid for salaries
save the sum of $40 to secretary, except
to sexton and helper. What the people
want to know is, what can be done to
have the Bellefontaine cemetery kept
like those of other places. How do
other towns keep up their burial
places? Our city of the dead should be
made place of beauty instead of re-
proach. For how much higher price
would lots need to sell, to guarantee
their being kept in order for a certain
number of years. Twelve hours will
NOW any lot "a times, which would keep
it in perfect order during the season.
At Is cents an hour that would amount
to $3.50. The interest on $4,000, the
price of fair lot, at six per cent. would
be $500 Why not invest the money
and have an endowed cemetery, using
the interest to pay running expenses.
What we want is to have cemetery
that will be credit to our city, and
how can we accomplish it?.

THE CITYS GROWTH.
Some Light Upon the Subject From
the Gas Works.

Mr.. F. K. Carson, who keeps the reg
lister of the meters and collects the gas
bills, informs us that when he entered
this service five years ago, there were
less than 500 meters, and now there are
over L, 900.
The electric light business has not
been worked up, but there are Is pri-
vate consumers of electric light, and
there was no electric light five years
ago.
The indication from these figures
would warrant the conclusion that our
population has doubled in five years.
The crowded condition of our schools,
the school enumeration, and the vote OF
the city would indicate the same.
