OFF FOR THE ORIENT.
Hiss Lulu Frey Returns to the Ills
sion Field in Corea.

Miss Lulu Frey, daughter of Captain
John Frey, who has been home on &
visit to her parents for six months, left
last evening for New York, whence she
will sail, on the 25th, for Seoul, Korea,
going by way of the Mediterranean and
Suez canal. When she completes her
journey, Miss Frey will have been
around the world once and halt
times.
Miss Frey has spent six years OF her
young life in self denial and self sacri-
flee for her Master, in this distant mis-
sion field. She goes back cheerfully to
her work, thinking 1t little she can do
for the Savior who gave His life for
her. 1t is almost giving up her life, to
give up parents, friends, native land,
loving companions, hallowed associa-
tions, and all that makes life dear, and
she is deserving of the deepest graft
tude from her church and all who are
servants of Christ. We wish her a
safe voyage, strength and health, and
abundant success in her work. Our
sympathy is extended to the parents
who have given up such lovely daugh-
ter to the sacrifice she has chosen.

A VERDICT
That Pleased Neither Side, In the
ThompsOn-O'Connor Case.

At 10 o'clock, Friday morning, the
jury in the Thompson-O'Con case, af-
ter being out some twelve or fifteen
hours, rendered verdict of 81 for plain
tiff. This was not enough to carry the
costs with it, and if the verdict is allowed
to stand, each party will have to pay his
own costs. The verdict does not please
either party, and it may be set aside,
or new trial ordered. Henry
Thompson, laboring man, worked for
John O'Connor, near the reservoir and
lived with his wife on O'Connor's farm.
He charged O'Connor with alternating
his wife's affections, and obtained
divorce. O'Connor, after this married,
and Thompson sued him for So. 900 dam
ages. The verdict he recovered 81, was
unsatisfactory to him, because of its
size, and equally unsatisfactory to
O'Connor, who claims he is an innocent
man.

THE TOWN
Had a Bad Jag on, Last Saturday
night.

Whisky flowed and Beelzebub ran the
city, Saturday night. Before it was
fairly dark, we passed drunk women,
who was being held up by a man but
little less drunk, on the sidewalk, on
Court street. Later, boy was found
dead drunk, back of the Powell Block.
Still later, two men began quarrel
in the Cnshman cigar store, and going
outside, chad it out" One of them
drew knife, and the other blood, and
pummeled the would be knifer, till he
was sight. Their names were Will
Workman and Dalton Jones.
They are both from Kentucky. Work
man appeared before the Mayor and
pleaded guilty to assault, but Jones
wasn't in condition to plead anything.
Later, Harvey Carter was fined and
sentencec to jail, for selling liquor to
a minor. Other drunks were not
chronicled, dut there were doubtless
a number of swelled heads, Sunday
morning.
In every case, whisky was at the
bottom of all the trouble. Can the
city expect and other harvest from its
gin mills? "Sow the wind and reap the
whirlwind?" "Sow beer and whisky, and
reap disorder, violence, drunkenness,
adultery, fornication, and murder!
The crop is just as certain with one
kind of sowing as with the other.

"came for platform dance,' and i
was feared there would be trouble, bur
all was quiet.
No one in West Liberty knows any
thing of the affair. and it is reported
the lynchers came from Indiana.
The little that leaks out, has come
from the victims, is picked up on the
streets, second-handed, or is merely
rumor. But the appearance of the vic
Tins corroborates the stories that are
told.
1t is a lamentable state of affairs, to
occur; but only those who know how
much community has suffered before it
was goaded into such action, is able to
pass correct judgment upon it.
There were hundred or two people
on the street during the riot, who
viewed the proceedings from distance,
but they could identify nobody, as the
mob were all disguised, and wore masks
made of cloth of some kind, tied over
their faces.
AS the mob brought their victims
through the town, after the ducking,
they met young colored man named
Adams, of DeGraff, and Nathan Little,
colored, of Bellefontaine, at the foot of
the hill. Thinking they had come to
the town at that time of night, for no
good purpose, and fearing that they
would take the trio in their care, they
took the robes from them, and started
them up the Zanesfield pike. DR..
Leonard came out from his home at
this point, and interfered in behalf OF
these men, but his friends came out
and took him home.
Saturday night, the barn OF Ed.
Jackson was torn down.
Hickman says he stayed all night at
a widow Scott's Thursday night, going
there at 1000 O'Clock, but the West
people say he was at a restau-
rant in the town, that night, after ten
o'clock, with Mel. jackson; and
they stole all the napkins on the table.
The napkins were found at Jackson's the
next day when the house was searched.
They also say that his face was seen at
the window of Jackson's house by
several persons, looking out at the fire.
The men engaged in the mob are
said to have all been large men-prob-
ably stuffed for the occasion.
Cowhides were used on both the men
and the woman, while in their naked
condition.
1t is said that women, dressed in
mems clothes, stood afar off, and wit
messed the lynching.
