The Marietta Daily Leader
SUNDAY. MARCH u, 1898,
Sensational Disappearance Of the
Dufy'S Cook.


Mr.. Campbell, who has been cook on
the steamer Duffy, is absent from his
post of duty and no one seems to know
where he Is.
A few days ago, 80 sayeth Damo
Rumor," in which it does not always
do to put too much trust, bar tender
at Waverly, by name Alfred Dollin-
ger, gave Campbell some checks to
bring to Marietta and get cashed, the
aggregate amount being near 5000.
The next thing in the proceedings
that has come to our ears is that the
checks were cashed and Campbell is
missing.
Now as to the truth or falsity of the
statement we cannot venture an opin-
ion, as we have been unable to verify
any, of 1t except that the matter has
been reported to the police and Camp
bells whereabouts are unknown.
Mr.. Campbells reputation has al
ways been good one and his friends
and those who know him well doubt
very much the idea of any criminal ac-
tion on his part, but seem to think tina;
he had some other reason for leaving
without telling everybody where he
was going.
There was a story on the streets last
evening that the money has been re-
turned to the owner at Waverly, but
thisssfory could mot be verified.

Dear Sir-Fully appreciatlng the
honor which l did not seek or expect,
but which the Republican City Con-
ventlon conferred upon me in naming
me for the responsible Office of City
Marshal and which l at first felt /
might accept, have upon mature con-
sidera'uion been convinced that duty
to myself and the Republicans of Ma
rletta should ask you through the
comm. ee of which you are chairman,
to accept my declination of this candi-
dacy.
My present engagements seem to
render it impossible that | devote the
necessary time to make the campaign
effective, and my work being some
thing of speciality cannot with pro-
prlety ask my employers to relieve me.
If for these reasons your committee
shall feel disposed to accept my declin-
alton and place a more available can
dldate in nomination, promise you
the hearty and earnest efforts of my
self and my friends IN securing his
election. q. w. ROO.

Chairman wye and after consideration
it was decided by the committee to ac-
cept the declination of Mr.. Rood, and
~ unanimous vote Uapt. Benz. Bragg

HIS LORDSHIP SATISFIED.

A Scotch farmer, celebrated in his
neighborhood for his immense
strength and skill in athletic exer-
cises, very frequently had the pleasure
of contending with people who came
to try their strength against him.
Lord D., great pugiIistic amateur,
Went from London on purpose TO
fight the athletic Scot. The latter was
working in an incIosure at a little dis
tance from his house when The noble
lord arrived. His lOrdship tied his
horse TO tree and addressed the far
mer: Friend. | have heard marve-
lous reports of your skill and have
come long way to see which of us
two is the better wrestler. The
Scotchman. without answering, seized
the nobleman. pitched him over the
hedge, and then set about working
again. When Lord d. got up,

piled his lordship, but perhaps you'd
be good enough to throw me my

BABIES FROM THE SKY.
Remarkable Experience OF Two Chill
drcn in u Runaway Balloon.
(Erom the St. Louis Globe Dem,

From the st. Louis Globe -DemocIat.)
Mr. William Harvey and his sister, Miss
Mary, living about six miles east OF Rich
view. H., tell very interesting story of
themselves, which happened number of
years ago.
They were quite small the boy being
about five and his sister seven years old.
During the year 1858, while the State fair
was being held az Central City, H.. an
aeronaut of Chicago made an ascension
in a balloon at the State fair on Saturday
morning and his balloon came down about
six miles cast of there, near the country
residence of William Harvey, sr. The
owner Of the balloon, feeling chilled. went
into the farmhouse to warm, and tied his
balloon 10 rail fence near the barn. Little
Willie and Mary were playing near the
barn. They noticed the balloon tied TO
the fence, and as they had never seen
balloon they walked up to take a look
at it. Seeing that it would go up few
feet and then back again, they thought it
would be great fun to get in the basket
and ride. Mary helped her little brother
in and then she got in. The balloon went
up and down while; then all at once it
gave a lunge and pulled itself loose from
the fence. Up and up it went. with the
little Harvey children in the basket. The
mother was looking out of a window. and
seeing the balloon going up told the
aeronaut that his balloon had got away
from the fence. and they all went out to
see it. The mother came and as she
watched the balloon going up she no
ticed some one in the basket. Not once
did she think it was her two little chill
dren, nor could she believe 1t to be her
two children when her husband told her
the children We're nowhere to be found.
search was made all over the farm
for the missing ones, but without result
The father at once drove 20 Rome,
short distance from, his farm, and told the
| story. At once people followed after the
balloon. 1t went north about five miles,
then turned west, going owe. Central City.
Every one at the fair, thinking the aero
naut was making his return, cheered and

The little boy began to get cold and COM

and put 1t around Wilie's head and he
went to sleep in Marys lap. About I
O'Clock the next morning the balloon came
down in large tree on farm southeast
of Mount Vernon. III. The owners of the
farm seeing the balloon in their tree the

NAMING THE ASTEROIDS.
Reason Why Wits Discovery Was
Dubbed .sDQ.v
From the New York Tribune)

From the New York TribuneO
Nearly five hundred asteroids, or minor
planets, have been discovered. but since
the first half dozen were noted probably
no one has created the sensation that was
produced by the little fellow which the
German. Witt. detected last August, and
which he at first called "DQ." Since that
time he has bestowed another name on it,
Eros. This is designed to be its perma-
nent designation. In a very interesting
lecture in Brooklyn a few evenings ago
Prof. j. X. Rees, of Columbia Uni
versity told how that singular alpha
betical appellation came to be used.
After large number of asteroids had
been identified there was always some un-
certainty when a fresh discovery was an
nounced whether the newly observed body
was really one of the old ones, or genu-
inc addition to the list. 4 good deal OF
computation was necessary, in regard TO
the orbits and positions OF the other aste-
roids, in order TO determine the character
OF the body under consideration. These
operations required good deal of time,
too.
II was, therefore. decided TO assign to
an asteroid while it was on probation. so
to speak, an alphabetical title for pur-
poses of temporary Identification. The first
one picked up after the new rule went into
effect was dubbed "a" The next one was
called b" And after the whole alphabet
had been consumed a system of doubling
was resorted TO. The next lot of minor
planets were named "AA," ABB ''AC,"
and so on. Then 1t became necessary 10
use the combinations 'BA." BIB" and
BE" The fifth time the astronomers
started on the alphabet they were obliged
to say "DA," "DB." and DC" and at
length they reached the now familiar COM
bination DO" But when the genuine
ness of newly observed asteroid is fully
established the alphabetical designation is
dropped and thereafter it is known by a
number and q new name. Eros is No =33
in the catalogue of minor planets, and is

been told that I was the only person fortu-
nate enough to secure one. l know full
well that in the older settlements the
breeding grounds are being continually
cut down, but surely others to compensate
in some degree are brought in by the open

l fear the cause lies in overshooting- In
Ontario the cocks are well protected. as
the open season does rot begin till Sep
tember 10. when the birds are moulting
and scattered, and most of them have left
by November /; but in the States they are
or have been shot from July TO May /
ten months out of the twelve. Ontario
early stopped spring shooting, and during
the last thirty years has time and again
shortened the season, and l feel sure We
would agree to stop all cock-shooting for
some years if our friends across the border
would agree TO do the same.
