DOWLING.

ED. JoURNAL:-The people of this
school dist. have been urging the direc-
ors to make an effort to get the district
changed to that Of special school dis
trlct and the directors finally concluded
TO do so. A petition was presented to
the voters at the school election last
spring and was signed by nearly all the
voters and was laid before the Board of
Education at Haskins. A meeting of
the several boards composing the sew
eral parts of the joint sub-dIstrlct to
meet at Bowling on the 10th of June
last quorum failing to appear, the
matter was carried before the probate
court. The court appointed two COM
missioners consisting of Frank w. Dunn
and w. S. Haskell to investigate and
report. Pending the report of the COM
mittee certain person whom we will
call Deacon" whose mission In this
world is to look for mischief, took it
into his head to knock the special dis
trict in the head, so the deacon said
unto his attorney "go thou at once and
write up remonstrance against this
thing, and we will go among the people
and will invent some big stories and
present them to the people," So the
deacon and his attorney went forth
among the people with their remon-
STRANGE and told them that those fellows
who we're in favor of special district
proposed to build brick school house
like the school house at Ada, Ohio;
that the proposed school house would
not cost less than $4,000; that the
streets of Dowling would be paved; that
superintendent would be employed at
high salary, etc; and quite number
who had signed the petition were in
induced to sign the remonstrance. We
are not blaming those people who signed
the remonstrance for it is hard to resist
the entreaties of an oily-tonGued attor-
ney and a deacon, and thus the matter
rests with the probate court.
Alex. Beard and j. M. Brown Of Dow

left for Crideasville to-day, to attend
the reunion of their old Reg't. the 57th
o. V. I. There will be some wonderful
stories told by those fellows when they

NEUTRALITY
Proclamation Not Likely to be Is
sued by the United States.

Our Warrington correspondent says:
1t does not appear likely at present
that formal proclamation OF neutral
ity will be issued by the United States.
1t has been customary with us to omit
these proclamations until some emer-
gency arises calling for their issue, and
such Is not expected TO occur in South
Africa. 1t Is also taken into consider
alton that the Trans vaal Republic has
never heen recognized by the United
States as an independent nation, all of
its foreign relations having been con-
Quoted through Great Britain. Ofiici-
ally, the present dispute is regarded as
parallel to the conflict between the
Federal government and the seeding
Southern States, during which this
government resented any appearance
OF recognition OF Southern independ-
ence by foreign nations. 1t is held that
a proclamation OF neutrality would
recognize in a tacit way the iudepend-
ence OF the Transvaal, and to that ex-
tent be reversal of our position re-
garding the Southern Confederacy.
Although formal proclamation may
not be issued, strict neutrality will be
observed, but this will not prevent
either party from perchasing their
supplies from this country. Great
Britain has already contracted for
large numbers OF mules and army wag-
ons, and for canned provisions. The
Beers are likely to contract for large
quantities of munitions of war If they
can make arrangements for their trans
portation to the Transvaal, now that
England has shut them off from the sea
by getting control of Lorenzo Marquee
from the Portuguese. Neutrality, If
strictly observed, will prevent the en-
listment of men within the United
States to serve with either party.

The Maumee Advance says people
over In that ''cemeterial" town are
mad because Turkey Foot rock has
been Stolen" and taken to Toledo. 1t
is really too bad that the people of that
fossllized village should be so rudely
disturbed from their slumber, but their
anger will be much like the opening OF
champagne hattle-a big pop and a
small fizz-which will soon be over aud
the people will sleep on as of yore.
The B. G. and Toledo papers claim
that Turkey Foot rock was nothing but
a stone, SO, why should anybody In
Maumee object to the loss of single
stone?

TOLEDO ADJUSTMENTS.


ga Bell Boy" which comes to Burts
for three days commencing Thursday,
October 10, is musical farce comedy,
'built on entirely modern and original
lines," with a decidedly complicated
plot, catchy music and complete out
fit of scenery. The piece is in three
acts, "a hop, skip and jump" and
from the rise OF the curtain to the finale
the fun is said to be unceasing, jovial,
clean and hearty. The company has
been selected with the utmost care, and
within it's ranks are such wellknown
purveyors of comedy as John D. Gilbert,
who has been the comedian of numerous
metropolitan productions.

The Bowling Green Democrat is
making considerable effort to create
the opinion that B. G. Harding, the
Republican candidate for Auditor, is
backed Oy the Ohio Central railroad,
and that the railroads desire his elec-
tion for the purpose of having their
property placed on the tax duplicate at
a lower figure than it should be. The
effort on the part of the Democrat will
amount to naught, as the statement has
been thoroughly discussed by the voters
of the county and the facts are proved
that there is no truth in it. Unless
some wonderfully corrupt act can be
proven against Mr.. Harding our Demo.

elected, and their efforts 10 find some.

the Republicans In their efforts to elect

been in the hands of the Republican

Regarding Merc:ers declarations Of

mir Perier said:
'Mercier has no right whatever to in

would have prevented such interference.
1t was I alone who conferred with the
minister, and l declare the impression
derived from the conversation was one of
complete calm, otherwise the incident
would not have been closed by the franz

Mercier replied he went to the Elysee
as minister of war. He recalled that
General De Boisdeffre could testify in re-
gard to the orders received.
Demange sczed upon this declaration
and insisted that Mercier repeat the
statement that he had given orders to
Boisedeffre relative to mobilization.
Casimir- Perier resumed his testimony

- in Salt Lake City that
ended in bankruptcy and the
sale of their $4,000 stock on
an order from the court, is liza
BILE to prove a blessing in dis
guise to the people Of Butte.
We are creditably informed that
! while the original invoice of
! this stock amounted to $25, 900,
} the appraisers saw fit to reduce
! it to 500, 900, and the court
! approved a sale of the entire
! stock to the j. H. Leyson COM
! pany of that city and Butte,
; Montana, for 50, 900. On the
: strength of this purchase the

! proved to be the most success
} full sale of jewelry ever made in

8 ton of the Butte house Of j.
< H. Leyson to utilize their por-
