EARTH'S CARES
Are Ended and Charles PeddlnghauS Is Sum-
roned 10 the Great Beyond.

When the sleeping city awakes this
morning it will learn with feeling of
sadness that one of Marietta's fore
most business men has. in the silent
vigils of the night, been summoned to
enter the heavenly portals. At the
conclusion of two weeks battle
against disease which his weakened
system could not overcome, Charles N.
Peddinghaus yielded up his life at
10:30 last evening in Grace Hospital, to
which institution he was taken three
weeks ago. when the fever began to
manifest its symptoms. For several
days previous to the time on which he
was taken to Grace Hospital, Mr.. Ped
dinghaus complained of feeling unwell
and physically exhausted. But with
characteristic fortitude and determin-
alton he battled against the disease,
thinking that his indlspositlon was on
ly temporary and could be dispelled by
devotion to business. But all in
vain, and the dread malady, typhoid
fever, assumed such proportions that
it became necessary to transfer the
sick man to place where he could re-
ceive proper medical attention. At
the hospital during the past week
changes for the better were succeeded
by turns for the worse, each fresh at
tack leaving his constitution weaker
and less able to withstand the ravages
of the malady.
Chas. N. Peddinghaus was 80 years
Of age and was unmarried. Twenty
years ago he took charge of the jew
elry business which his father before
him had built up, and by industry,
honesty and devotion to business the
patronage of large class of people
throughout the city was the reward of
I his untiring efforts.
Three brothers are the nearest rela
tives who survive him, L. L., ]. NJ. and
Edwin Peddinghaus. The first two
are residents of Marietta, but the lat
ter, Edwin, is situated at Birmingham,
Ala bana,- where he has a photograph
gallery. A telegraph message was sent
him Friday afternoon, announcing his
brothers critical Illness. Mr.. L. L.
Peddinghaus is in the east, having left
several weeks ago to attend the photo
graphic art salon at Philadelphia. A
dispatch was also sent him yesterday
afternoon. Both brothers are expect
ed to arrive today and the arrange
ments for the funeral will probably be
completed about this time.
In the death Of Charles Peddinghaus
Marietta loses a good citizen and an
enterprising business man. His de-
mise at an age when men are prepared
10 do their best work is one of those
inscrutable dispensations of Provi-
dence which mortals can never fathom
but can only accept with resignation.

GO TO THE GAME
Help Marietta Win a Victory Over U. W.
and ParkerShurg Today.

The game of football which will be
played at the Fair Grounds today
promises to be an interesting exhibi.
tion of the sport. Morgantown has one
of the strongest teams in her history,
and after defeating the Western Uni
versity of Pennsylvania it can be
readily seen that they will be match
for Marietta.
The Marietta boys are confident of
winning. The practice this week has
put them in good shape and the team
work shows up more compact and
spontaneous than it ever did. The
players are comparatively free from
bruises or injury and can, without
doubt, put up good stiff game.
The West Virginia team spent the
night in Parkersburg and will prob
ably come up this morning, A crowd
of from so to rs people is expected to
come up with the team. Everybody in
the city should go to this game and
cheer the home team on. Parkersburg
will of course, work for the West Vir-
glnia team, and there should be a good
number there to root for Marietta.

Buffalo Center July 1.-THE hardest
storm OF the season struck this vicinity
Saturday afternoon. About 4 O'Clock II
y got SO dark that II was necessary to
light lamps In business houses The
rain came down In torrents, driven BY q
strong wind, which flattened the small
grain to the ground. About two miles
4 south OF town the storm developed
{ into cyclone. which demolished the
Cline school house and the barn on
what is known as the Cline farm. How
& much other damage is not known as
yet. as II has been raining for the past
4 thtrty-six hours 50 no one has been in
& from the country.
On Sunday morning lightning struck
\ the house of Mr.. Joe Collins, in the
north part OF town, and tore a hole in
the roof about two feet square: also
knocked the chimney down and de-
stroyed most OF Mr.. Collins furniture
In the house. 1t seems that there was
a q wire clothes line running from the
house to the barn and that the current
was carried along this line. 1t cer-
tainly was the same stroke. for 1t all
happened in an Instant One Of the
horses staonding nearest to the corner
d where the line was fastened was
killed instantly, and Mr.. Collins, who
/ was standing just back of the next
ssforHe, was knocked down and dazed so
that he knew nothing for short time.
It Is q severe loss for Mr.. Collins, as
4 he just started farming this spring,
+ and this being harvest time he needed
d the horse that was killed every day on
the harvester. Fortunately no fire
{ started In the building or the loss
would have been complete. as he had
