Death Of Mrs. Mary E. Wirick

Mary Ellen Green was born in Logan
county, Ohio, Dec. II, 1888, and never
wandered far from the place of her
nativity. She was united in marriage
to Benjamin F. Wirick Feb. !, 1856,
and was the mother of four children,
united with the M. E. church at Wolf
Creek at the age of 81, and remained
steadfast in that faith through life. In
1877 she was separated by the hand of
death from the husband of her youth,
but through the long years of widow
hood she remained true to his memory,
and when, in 1888, her eldest daughter,
the wife of George Bushong, gave up
the struggle of life, leaving two help
less babes, Mrs. Wirick assumed the
duty of mother, and devoted her whole
energy to the self-imposed duty. The
youngerjoined its mother, but the other
granddaughter grew to womanhood,
and now mourns the loss of the only
mother that she ever knew. Mrs.
Wirick's life was one of deeds not
words. OF retiring nature, she did
not seek ompanionship, but met with
a hearty welcome and generous hospi-
tality all who came to her honse. In
the home of her son, B. F. Wirick,
where she has spent many years hon
ored and loved by all, there is now a
vacant place never to be filed. In the
early morning of Sept. 2, after brief
but severe illness, her weary spirit left
its ear thly tenement and passed beyond
the vale. Her mortal remains were
placed in beautiful casket and COW
cred with flowers. and surrounded by
those who loved her were laid to rest
in the cemetery at Pickrelltown.

ANARCHISM
Must Be Stamped Out !

That is the verdict of the people. 1t
is treason against the Government.
1t is crime against humanity. 1t is a
declaration of murder that society
should not wait to see executed.
If man utters sentiments that are
calculated to provoke a breach of the
peace, or to provoke riot. he is arrest
ed. The officers do not await for an
overt act. Why should they await for
the overt act of murder by the anarch-
ist, when the article of their faith is
that all Governments should be over
thrown and rulers destroyed. Their
principles are a declaration of war up
on all Government, and they should no
more be permitted to run at large than
rabid dogs or wild beasts. The fact of
connection with any anarchistic So
ciety, or the avowal or publication of any
anarchistic sentiments should be enough
to cause the arrest and confinement for
anarchists.
Our gates should not only be barred
against their coming here from Europe,
but every one here, who avows their
sentiments or justifies their principles,
should be shut behind walls where they
will be eternally dumb and harmless.
The assassins of our Presidents
Booth, Guiteau and Czologsz-had no
personal enmity against Lincoln, Gar
field or Mckinley. No Presidents were
ever nearer the people than these three
none ever mingled with them more
sympathetically or with greater kind
ness. Yet they were shot down like
dogs. The bullets that struck them
were fired at the Government, and it is
treason as certainly as was the firing on
our flag at Sumter. Let the Nation
frame law that will meet the emer-
gency. And let the brutal would-be as
sassin of President Mckinley be
tried for treason. Seventy-six million
of people who have formed and main
tained a government for their mutual
protection and happiness, must not per-
nit handful vile criminals defy the
nation.

PRISONERS SAVING OUT.
Walter Lang Can Be Watched.

DR.. Heffner, the Jail physician, told
Prosecutor West Saturday that Lyman
Cook, who is charged with burglary and
larceny, was i'll. The Prosecutor at once
went to see the prisoner, and, as he
went into the Jail, asked Deputy Sheriff
Humphrey if the bars of the prison had
been lately examined. Acting upon
the suggestion, the search was re-
warded by finding two of the inner set
of window bars almost sawed through.
Lang. the sharpest prisoner, was at
once suspected, and he was stripped.
The print of saws could be seen in the
inner sole of his shoes, and a further
search revealed four fine saws. Three
were found in a crack over a window
and one under picture in Cooks cell.
The prisoners are Lang, Cook and Doc
Winner, but not one of them will leave
Jail just now.

A MENACE TO HEALTH.
Boards of Health Trying to Get Rid of
the Alum Baking Powders.

The accomplished Professor of Chem
istry of Princeton University, Prof. II.
B. Cornwall, in his report to the State
Board of Health, says that alum baking
powders exert an injurious effect upon
digestion. Since this fact seems to him
to be well established, he denounces
the use of alum baking powders in the
preparation of food as altogether OBJ
jectionable.
Professor Barker, of the University
of Pennsylvania, says that the alum
baking powders are decidedly injurious
for use in making food. "If," he says,
''the use by bakers of small quantities
of alum to improve the appearance of
their bread be regarded as highly cul-
pable, how much more severely should
we reprobate the use of the much larger
amounts of this substance needed in
ba king powder; nor is the case altered
materially by the fact that in use the
soda of the baking powder decomposes
the alum. All of its constituents re-
l1dln III lnS DFedu, anu buc dluul 10 IL
self reproduced, to all intents and pur-
poses, when this bread is dissolved by
the gastric juice in the process of d.
gestion. l regard the use of alum bak
ing powders, therefore, as highly in
furious to the health of the community,
and believe that their sale should be
forbidden by law
Boards of health are recommending
legislation that will prohibit the manu-
facture and sale of alum baking pow
ders altogether. This has already been
done in some sections of the country.
At present the public must seek safety
from the danger, which seems to be so
prevalent, in using only those brands of
cream of tartar powders that are well
known as pure and reliable, and refus-
ing to buy the low priced, socalled
''cheap" goods.

THE COLORED HERO.

A Commercial Tribune dispatch, says
that Senator Hanna and Vice President
Roosevelt claim that the bulletins of
President McKinley's condition under
state the hopeful symptoms of his case.
The dispatch adds:
Earlier in the day Senator Hanna
had sent for Parker, the herculean
negro, who had been one of the first
to grapple with the Presidents assail-
ant.
"Parker wore new clothes. His old
ones had been sold piece by piece as
souvenirs. He approached, bowling
and bashful. Senator Hanna shook his
hand and thanked him for his prompt
action.
81 only wish I had been quicker, :"
said Parker.
''If they had given me two minutes
more with him would have saved the
police lot of trouble.

The PRESIDENT
STILL IMPROVING.

The Ohio State Journal this morning
has the following head lines:
Complete recovery of President has
become a confident prediction. Steady
improvement dispels dread and makes
conviction of hope"
There has been nothing but improve
ment-gradual and slow-but steady
improvement. Every bulletin, every
private wire of the physicians in at
tendance breathes encouragement.
The reports the physicians have given
out are facts as they exist from a
scientific standpoint unmi xed with sem
timent.
DIR. p. NJ. Rixey, one of the Presi-
dents attendant physicians and also
the private physician of the President
and Mrs. Mckinley, said tonight, re-
garding the distinguished patient:
81 am not specialist in abdominal
surgery, but from a general knowledge
of gunshot wounds can say that the
only possibility of complication was by
blood poisoning or peritonitis, and that
1 consider this now as very remote
possibility"
The extreme optism of the vice
president and members of the cabinet
would be di fficult to overstate. 81 am
absolutely confident everything will
turn out all right" declared the vice
president and he said he based his con-
fidence on information behind the pub
lie expressions of the physicians.

SECRETARY Root in ordering that no
intervie VS. with the Presidents assas-
sin be allowed to go to the public, and
no pictures be allowed taken, said:
There oug ght to be law forbidding
giving even the name of such assassins
to the public, and the publication of
their pictures ought to be forbidden.
Moreover, papers that contain their
names, or interviews, or pictures ought
to be forbidden circulation IN the mails
and by express. Take away the motor
iety that such men expect to gain by
such crimes, and not one in fifty of
them would risk his life to commit the
deed. For notoriety, many men will
risk their lives. The newspapers in
their zeal to serve morbid public
sentiment, will strive to outdo each
other in giving notoriety to such
criminals, and there ought to be a
check rut upon them as well as upon
President assassins.

DAY OPENING.
The State Fair This Year a
Financial Failure.
The Fair Will Be Held Only One
Week, Hereafter.

Columbus, o., Sept Ga two weeks
State Exposition hasSin the estimation
of the Board of Directors Of the State
Fair, proven a costly experiment, and
tonight's sunset saw the close of the
first and last of the kind that the grand
old Buckeye State may hope to call
her own.
At a meeting of the State Board of
Agriculture, held at the Administra-
tion Building on the grounds this
afternoon, the following resolution
was passed unanimously:
Experience indicates that a two
weeks exposition can not reasonably
be expected to pay its expenses and
premiums,
Therefore this Board favors re-
turn to one weeks exposition.
This means that the old-fashioned
State Fair of one weeks duration is
good enough and that the attempt to
extend the enterprise to ten days and
clothe it with the high-sounding appel
alton of Exposition will cost both
the State and the good-natured men OF
Columbus who affixed their signatures
to guarantee fund list, many dollar
to make good deficit, which rumor
says will run all the way from $4,000
to $25, 900.
Treasurer Guthrie stated today that
the gate receipts for the entire ten
days just past would not more than
equal the receipts of the five days of
last years fair. This being the case,
the talk of a monster deficit does not
seem without foundation.

AUDITOR Guilbert says that in In
diana they appraise railroads higher
than in Ohio, but fix lower tax rate.
The average rate in Indiana Is 1.46,
while in Ohio it is bout 2.40. In other
words, to raise 1000 taxes in Ohio,
we would assess, say, $40, ,0O0-ten per
cent, while in Indiana, they would
value the same property at $40, 900, and
assess it only FIVE per cent. After all,
equality of taxes is what is to be sought
But how can a tax be equitable, if one
class is assessed much less rate thar
on another?

Coates, remarked Friday evening, just
after the terrible news of the assassin
alton had been received: Sits good
thing and should have been done three
years ago." and when it was noised
abroad, the infuriated citizens were
ready for violence. There were cries
of "shoot him" ''hang him." stones
were thrown at him, but he made his
escape and has not yet been heard from.
Coates was new conner in West
