most fascinating, versatile, mercurial
and inconstant of all the twelve. They
are so brilliant naturally that duh or
stupid Libra born person is seldom
found, yet they too often lack the
steady application to make their genius
available. They are fatally impressions

ings of others involuntariy.
Natural musicians, clairvOyants. gam
blers, plungers. followers of the races
and stock spectators are born under
this sign. As Spectators they are very
successful because of their nerve, quick
perceptions and love of the game.
Healthy Libra people are very pleasant
to live with when they do not reflect
the unpleasant thoughts and feelings OF
others. which they often do uncon-
sciously. They are merry. sunny and
witty at their best and often extremely
handsome. Yet in spite of all their fine
capabilities and qualities they are often
most unfortunate in money and love
matters on account of their disposition
to leap before they look They suffer
much too, through letting themselves
be persuaded into measures against
their own judgm MT This is particu-
larly true of Libra women. who are
among the most common victims Of
matrimonial mistakes

KILLED HIS WIFE
Because She Would Not Take
off His Shoes.

London, o., Oct. 10.-A warrant has
been issued for the arrest of James
Murray, jr., of West jefferson, on the
charge of numbering his wife. This
action was decided on as the result of
the investigation just completed by
Coroner W.. ii. Carl, whose verdict
is to the effect that her death was
caused from injuries inflicted by him
on the night of September 6. The
deceased left an ante-mOrtem state
ment, now in the possession of the
authorities, that her husband came
home that night and commanded her
to remove the shoes from his feet. A
few days before Mrs. Murray had re-
turned from Columbus hospital,
where she underwent a delicate oper-
alton and was in a feeble condition.
She was unable to comply, and it is
said Murray kicked her in the abdO-
men. The woman fingered for about
week, when death ensued.

Things That Have Kept
N. 0. T. Back
In the Construction of Its New
Lines.

The N. o. r. Co. will soon be in
clined to believe that luck has not
been with it in its construction of
new lines The -Ravenna line
would have been completed several
months ago had it not been for draw
backs IN securing franchise to
build In Kent, and for the injunction
suits following. At present there are
only two injunctions not settled, and
it is believed they will be dissolved
as soon as the court can send a jury
out to examine the land in dispute.
The injunction suit against the com
pany in Rayenna has been settled
In construction of the Canton, Mas
sillon & Akron road the n. o. L. Co.,
has started eight appropriation suits
In the Stark county court,
and these will also be settled as soon
as jury can be sent out to examine
the territory.
The Canton, Massillon & Akron
line will not run through a single
town. 1t will depend upon through
business from Canton and Massillon
through Akron to Cleveland. The
force of men working on the new line
has been increased, and several miles
have already been graded.

inaugurated. For the present year
