One of Dolores citizens tells this
on neighbour A flock of ducks
passed over a ranch below town the
other. day and the owner, who was
working on an irrigating ditch,
drew a bead on one of them with
his shovel and yelled "bang?" The
duck dropped dead. Probably had
heart disease or was frightened to
death by mistaking the shovel for a
gun.

The cons.steAcy Of q republic

The cons:steiicy Of republican
government reaching out and trying
to subduc a nation that is fighting
for its independence, is something
marvellous; yet there are those in
this country who uphold the policy
and are willing to pay, by taxation,
q debt that Is accumulating at the
rate Of q million dollars day. The
United States has no more right in
the Philippine than England had in
the thirteen colonies.

Instantly Killed.

Mr.. James Caldwell, a resident of
Logan, was run over and instantly
killed y esterday evening by the
four o'clock New Straitsville pas
senger train. This train comes In
to the depot, then goes down to the
Y and turns around, backing up to
the depot again, to wait for the
$50 south-bound passenger. Yes
terday Caldwell was returning from
Nelsonville on a coal train, and
passed the passenger while it was
yet on the Y. When he Jumped
off the coal train, owing to its noise,
he did not hear the other one COM
ing, and stepped over on the main
track, directly in front of the NOV
ing cars. The rear end of the train
struck him, crushing his head and
left hand, and cutting off his left
leg, leaving him horribly mangled.
He leaves wife and small child
about three weeks old, who have
the sincerest sympathy of all.

Electric Rail Road.

An appli cation has been made to
the board of commissioners of
Franklin county for a street rail
road franchise to Lancaster by way
of Groveport, Winchester and Car
roll. 1t is said the right of way
has been obtained from the land
owners, and that the company ask
ing for the franchise means busi-
ness.
The people along the line, and
especially in the villages are on the
tiptoe of expectation as the con-
structlon of such a line means
much to them. And even the farm
ers are enthusiastic for it. There
is no doubt that this is one of the
very best routes leading in and out
Of Columbus, and passes through
one of the finest regions of Ohio.
Two companies, it is said are con-
tending fer the franchise. This
shows the popularity of the enter.
prise. The county commissioners
should proceed with caution and
grant the franchise to the strongest
company, and the ono that agrees
to build, equip and operate the road
in the best manner. One of the
companies, it is said, is a Dayton
organization, while the other is in
the hands of Columbus parties. All
things being even, the county com.
missioners will undoubtedly favor
the home company.
But neither should be granted a
franchise merely to speculate upon
and to sell out at profit, or aband-
on. Let the county commissioners
exact bond, or attach such con.
ditions as will insure no imposition
upon the people, but will protect
them in every respect. This is an
age Of street railroad enterprise
and the day is coming when every
public highway leading from the
larger cities out to the towns and
villages will have an electric rail-
road. and residences will line these
roads for miles out.-RecOrd.

Lumber Industry

Mr.. j. j. Snider has purchased
the old Motherwell buildings and
grounds, and will put in machinary
for a planning mill. This is good
news to Logan. Mr. Snider is one
of our most energetic and substan-
cial citizens, and his starting of a
lumber factory means the employ
ment of many men and boom to
our town along the line of manu-
facture and shipping. The work
of pushing the operations to COM
pletion will be immediate and with
the means behind the enterprise 1t
Is insured to be an ella borate affair.
We hope Mr.. Snider will find en-.
courageinent from our citizens in
his substantial enterprise.

Handsome Dwelling.

Our townsman, Will Keynes, is
to be congratulated on having al
most completed one Of the finest
and most conveniently appointed
residences in Logan, or in this
section. The building is of high
grade compressed brick, with slate
roofing and artistic cornices, pre-.
senting beautiful appearance
from the outside. Inside are ten
finely arranged rooms, exclusive of
hall and attic, the two in front be-
ing connected by large double.doors
facing across the hall. This latter
is a triumph of elegance and
beauty, giving commodious access
to all of the lower rooms, and grac-
ed in front by a solid oak staircase.
Tne kitchen, that most important
and comfortable division of every
well appointed home, is marvel
of convenience, with link and
complicated arrangement of water
ducts, and handy access to the cell
lar, which merits the envy Of all.
The rooms are ornamented by
several artistic and beautiful man
tells of oak, carved in relieve, and
surmounted by costly plate mirrors
with beveled edges. The heating
will be by steam, and the graceful
bronzed heaters add much to the
appearance of the apartments. 1t
is so arranged that either gas or
electric light may be used accord
ing to the wish of the occupants
Add to these few details large

sewerage, and all the other con-
veniences of a modernly-equipped

Leutgert COnfesses.

JOLIET, ILL.,, Aug. 1.-Adolph l..
Leutgert, the wealthy Chicago
sausage maker, who was serving a
life sentence in the penitentiary
here for the murder of his wife, was
found dead in his cell last week.
The authorities were unable to as.
certain the causes of his death,
whether he killed himself or died
of heart disease, but the result of
the inquest tonight shows the
death due to fatty degeneration of
the heart.
Frank Fay Pratt, member of
the Chicago bar, said tonight that
Adolph Luetgert confessed in Feb
ruary, 1898, that he had killed his
wife.
ain February, 1885," said DIR.
Pratt, ~ was connected with the
Chris Merry defense and in my
visits to prison 1 became acquaint-
ed with the sausage maker. He
was told by one of the jailers that
| was palm reader, and one day
we were passing the cell, he asked
me to read his hand. l found the
lines of fatality, or predestination,
very strong, and l told him that
from his hand 1 could readily see
that he was not responsible for his
actions in the sense of self-re-
straint. He then said:
"Yes, did kill my wife. 1 was
possessed of the devil and killed
her because l was in love with an
other woman He then started to
tell me about the vat and said his
wife attempted to make a dying
statement to him, when the dogs
began to growl and he put an end
to her. He then began cursing.
AS L considered the confession a
professional one. | respected it
till death has now placed him be-
yond further human persuit."
