MRS. Wm. Tyron at the Ecker
House.


Mrs. VIM. Tyron, wife of the
man spoken of as being arrested
and taken to Chillicothe yesterday,
came up this morning from Ashton
and has been at the Ecker House.
She says Tyron and she were mar
ried four weeks ago. after he had
been in the neighborhood about
tow months and that he has always
treated her we'll, and that the mon
ey he deposited in bank was in his
own name with her consent, that
he returned all that he deposited
in bank without being made to do
SO at all. Mrs. Tyron is debating
whether to go to Chillicothe or not
this afternoon. She knows moth
ing of any other wife except that
he said he had been married be
fore, but that she had gotten a di-
voroe. They had information that
seemed to corroborate this. Mrs.
Tyron says she had bottle of
whisky in the house for herselfand
that he never so much as uncorked
it. That she had as much ass 300
in the house that he could have ta-
ken and skipped with at any time
had he chosen to do SO. She isin-
olined to think that he is not SO
bad as painted. Mrs. Tyron show
ed us his photograph. 1t is that
of handsome, manly looking
young man. Mrs. Tyron is in
much distress over the matter, of
course.
Chilltcothe, Ohio, May 8.--Con.
stable Mallow arrived here tonight
with Rev. William Tyron. 1t is
claimed that he forged number of
notes, one of them for $40 worth
of whisky which he secured, and
if he is not wanted in Utah he will
be prosecuted here. He had been
under surveillance for some time,
and while ill at Vigo the physician
made an examination, which dis
clio sed the marks of resemblance
between him and the Utah murder
or. He says he will mako state
ment to the Sheriff. The prisoner
has Just confessed that he has wife
living at CirolevilIo, so that being
true his West Virginia marriage
was bigamous one. He was mar
ried at Circleville under tho name
of O'Shea, and it will be remem-
bored that some time ago, while
conducting revival meeting here,
his wife arose in church and de-
nounoed him.-Galllipolis Tribune,

The Deputy Sheriff of Ross
county, Maloy, and Deputy Marsh
al Higgins, of Cotton, Jackson
county, caught VIM. Tryon down
at Hannan's between Ashton and
Glenwood. We mentioned the
fact of his being wanted for forgery
in Mondays paper. He had been
down where captured for about two
months preaching around in the
different chapels, and month ago
married Mrs. Minnie Pollock, for
merly Minnie Hannah, of Ashton.
He committed his alleged forgery
in Ross county for $28 He was
suspicioned of being man who
had murdered his three children,
and the officers were after him for
that more than anything else. How
ever, it is plain that he is not the
man wanted for murder The Of
ficers brought him here last night
on the Carrie Brown and lodged
him in Jail Marshal Kuhn thinks
there is something very mysterious
about the man, and says that he
puts one in mind of Catholic
priest. He weighs about $50 lbs is
3 feet Z inches tall, dark hair,
smooth face, light gray or blue
eyes, and appears to be about 30
years old. He was arrested at his
wife's mothers. He was to have
been taken to Chillicothe to day,
and we suppose was.

Advertising should not be con-
sidered luxury which tempts an
occasional extravaganza, but a ne
cessity which must be provided for
as carefully as are other business
necessities. A recognition of this
fact and proper understanding
of the advantages to be derived
from continuous advertising will
bring success to the enterprising
merchant.

are petitioning the officials for an
increase in wages from what it is
now, to S1.5O per day. They state
in their petition that everything
they consume is almost double
what it was a year ago, and that
they can hardly manage to live at
the wages they are getting now.
We trust the company will favor

worthy and fBithful employees.
There is a moderate fortune
awaiting some enterprising truck
farmer who is foresighted enough
to rent or buy good farm within
easy reach of Point Pleasant, and
devote his energies to the raising
of small fruits and garden vegeta-
bles. This is no guess. The pri.
ces commanded by such products
would certainly pay large dividendf
on the investment. Gardening in
town is about discontinued, except
in very rare cases. The gardnert
we now have can hardly supply the
demand for vegetables and small
fruits.

The visible supply of grain on

produce exchange, puts the wheat
supply in store and efioat at 49, 1885,
600 bushels. Corn 19,187000
bushels. According to reports
given out by the agricultural bu-
reau, the wheat crop prospects for
1900 is far below the average of
what it was one year ago. A fall
ing off in our exports of the sereal
would soon have telling effect on
