More Miles Than You Can Count.

Miles hOu I'm lOunNs
Statements as to the distance of the
pole star from the earth which have
appeared in some of the newspapers
lately have been ridiculously made
quate One of the estimates made is
200, 100000 miles. Now, If one will re-
member that the sun is 100000 miles
away and that its light comes to us In
eight minutes. he will see that If the
foregoing estimate of the distance of
the pole star were right its beams
could reach us in about 15 days. It
vou,a $ o.e,y about . o, 7cce times as far
off as the sun.
Light travels 6,00O,oOo,0OO miles
in year, and even the most modest
guesses as to the parallax of Polaris
make it 35 light years. Pritchard's es-
innate in 1887 was 90 light years. but
he has since modified his figures.
Hence, If one will write 30 and add IL
ciphers thereto he will have the num-
Der of miles which the most conserv-
alive authorities believe intervene be-
tween the earth and the pole star

DEATH OF i. N. McBETH.

Mr.. 1. N. McBeth, formerly a proini.
nent citizen of Bellefontaine, died
Monday, at Kearney, Nebraska, and
his remains were inferred by. the side
of his wife, in our cemetery, at 7:0(
o'clock, last evening.
Brief services were held in the Bap.
tist church, of which his wife had beer
an active and leading member. The
immediate relatives of Mr.. McBeth
and a goodly number of his old neigh
bors and business associates paid the
last tribute of respect to his memo
ry, by attendance at his funeral.
Mr.. McBeth was born near West
Liberty, in January, 1926. He was q
brother of Mr.. VIM. McBeth, of Oul
city. After the war, he was a resident
of our city, and very active business
man for some years. Since that he has
lived in Chicago, Missouri and Ne.
braska. He was man of much bust
ness enterprise.
His son Charles, and his daughter
Effie, attended the funeral, his daugh
ter Carrie being unable to attend
because of sickness.

THE SIZE OF THE CROWD.

Here is the record made by the livery
men on the 4th:-Horses cared for
Thompson & Foos' 365, Blacks 250,
Southard's 200, Hamilton's 100, Smiths
175, Neer's $50, McFarland's l26, Prall's
125, Rogers 100. Total 1891. A great
many were turned away. There were as
many in town, not put up at the liveries,
and as many more that went to the fair
ground. Estimating two persons to a
horse, this would indicate that there
were $500 people that came here in
vehicles. Add to this the hundreds
that came in on the cars, and it would
show that we had 1900 to $1,000 here
from outside the city, during the day
and evening. There were three dis
tinct crowds here, not counting our own
people. There was big crowd at the
fair ground, in the afternoon, as large
as Fridays crowd often is during the
fair. At the same time there was a
big crowd in the city. In the evening,
great many went home, and another
crowd came in, to see the fireworks and
hear the music. 1t is evident therefore,
that taking the three crowds together,
there were some people here. You can
estimate it from 10000 to 100000, as
you please.

brought out the fact that the murder
was committed with the axe of Denny
Dolan, neighbor farmer. The axe
was stolen from Dolan's the night of the
murder, and after the murder was left in
the yard near the Austin home, where
it was found Sunday morning, with the
handle burned off.
After the hearing, Justice Dow COM

with detected eyes to know the experience
have had with mine. For many years have
been nearly blind in one eye and the other
one was defective. Physicians decided they
could do nothing for me and advised me to go
to a very prominent OculiSt in Cleveland.
After having examined my case he informed
me that one eye was beyond all hope. He
improved the sight of the other eye slightly
with glass; but the results were on the
whole very unsatisfactory. Having consulted
what was supposed to be the best talent in
this country, / was forced to believe that
would have to live the balance of my life In
comparative blindness, thought quite hor-
rifyfng to me. One day happened into the
office Of our probate Judge, who was having q
pair Of glasses fitted by DIR. j. N. Hoyt. The
qualification and delight expressed by the
Judge when the Doctor had completed the
examination gave me new ray OF hope ana
