TOOK JUDGES ADVICE
And Let Another Man Steal His
Wife and Children With
out q Protest.

GAINESVILLE, o., July 24.-George Kel-
Ter, well known in this city, appeared
in police court Tuesday stated to the
Judge that William Scott, whom he had
harbored in his home as friend, had
not only won his wife's affections, but
had procured dray and was moving
the household goods belonging to Keller
to another location, and that his wife
and children were preparing 10 accom-
pany the goods. The unhappy husband,
whose remonstrances had been of no
avail, was left with nothing but the
vacant rooms, with not even an invita-
tion to call and see his wife in her
new home. Keller wanted revenge, and
the Judge counseled him that he could
best secure that by allowing Scott to
steal his wife, as from her conduct the
joke was evidently on Scott. This idea
caught the husbands fancy, and he left
with evident satisfaction at the thought
of what was in store for his successful
rival

The offending barber will be returned

DIGGING FOR WEALTH.
Men at Presque Isle Searching
for $40, 900 Said To Be
Buried There.

Toledo, July e5.--People at Presque
Isle have for two weeks been nystified
by the night visits of three men to the
Quale property. Two came regularly,
the third, younger man, came at in
tervals with the other two. 1nvestiga-
tion on the part Of residents reveals
the following etoly.
A dying soldier at soldiers home
(probably at Sandusky) confessed to
having murdered man who had In his
possession $4,000, which he buried
with his victim and which he never
dared attempt to regain.
The night visitors spend The hours
Of darkness in digging for the buried
wealth. One is q large well built, ell
derly man and wears a. silk hat; the
other, elderly also, is considerably
stopped. They claim to have obtained
from the Quales permission to pursue
Investigations on condition that per.
centage of any treasure found revert to
the Quales. The information as to
their visits is from perfectly reliable
source and the story of the hidden
treasure seems to be fairly authentic,
too.

Mere Wind Work.

They are on to Mr. IIanna's and Mr..
Dicks tactics in all parts Of the coun-
try. 1t was so simple minded and palpa-
BILE scheme that it died even before
getting born. Here is what the Pitts
burg Post says of the alleged bolt in
Ohio from the Democratic ticket:
The Republicans are playing "a
miliar game in Ohio, which does not
indicate that confidence in results of
which they boast at the November
election. A year ago they bent their
energies to organize a bolt of the gold
people from the Democratic ticket.
Not it is the silver side they are oper-
ating on, proclaiming that they will
run independent candidates because OF
the alleged anti Bry an state platform.
Every day or two we have dispatches
announcing the progress of the move
ment, and close scrutiny shows the
reports are all fabrications-mere
wind work.

OUT OF COURT.
Prosecution of Louis Metzger
of Salem on Charge OF Mis-
feasance May BE Dropped.

Lisbon, July 25.-S. w. Ramsay, Of
Salem, who filed the charges of mis-
feasance against City Solicitor Lewis
p. Metzger presented to Judge Boone
to have signed bill of exceptions set
ting forth certain errors which, it is
claimed, occurred at the trial. r. w.
Tayler and c. S. Speaker, attorneys for
Mr.. MetZger objected to the bill of ex-
ceptions being allowed, and the question
was argued to Judge Boone, Mr.. RAM
say presenting the case in his own be-
half, as Prosecutor Brookes had with
drawn from the case.
Judge Boone held that the bill of eX-
ceptions presented for his approval
was not correct, and that it had no
place in court, for the reason
that it was not prepared and present
ed by the prosecuting attorney, who
alone is authorized to prosecute a. case
of this kind to common pleas court.
This ruling of Judge Boone probably
marks the end of the prosecution Of the
case.

Tragedy Narrowly Averted.

Columbus, o., July PA tragedy
was narrowly averted in the state pris-
on yesterday. Convict Williams, color
ed, insisted upon wearing dirty shop
shirt to dinner. Guard Costello, Of
Warren county, ordered him to change
it. The controversy led up to the
throwing of large monkey wrench
by Williams at the guard, followed by
shower of missiles, many of which
would nave killed the guard If he had
not been. a good dodger. Seeing that
the convict was bent on getting the
best of him Costello drew his revolver
and fired at him. The bullet narrowly
missed Williams, who was punished
with water and reduced to the fourth
grade.

0. S. U. STUDENTS
Have Caused Trouble at Col
umbus BY Taking Places
Of Strikers,

Columbus. July 25.-The Columbus
Trades and Labor assembly has taken
cognizance that frequently OF late the
places of strikers here have been sup
piled by students from the State uni
versity. In two remarkable cases oc-
curing since the university vacation
began, students have essayed this role
OF course, it is to be said to their credi,
that many of them have to earn their
own way through the university and
are looking out for joDs to work at
during their vacation time.
The case which specially called
forth the denunciation of the assembly
was that of the lockout Of the union
news writer's of the Press-Post. Four
young men from the school of journal
ism in the university were installed
in the Press-Post reporters room at
once. The other case was in a ma
chinist strike. A number of students
from the mechanical department of the
university took the places of the strik-
ers. The assembly directed copy of
the resolution condemning this to be
sent to the president and members of
the faculty of the university.
One of the first acts OF Clarence
Jones on regaining possession of the
| Press-Post Tuesday was to place Thos.
| A. Cooper, the member of the writer's
union who refused to quit working
when the rest were locked out, on the
paper as managing editor and to sus'
pend City Editor Charles E. Creager
until his case is arbitrated. Managing
editors are not eligible to membership
in the union.

j. N. Bebout, well known Canton
man, was at New London, few days
since, and visited with John Rudy, Of
that place. Mr.. Rudy, some time
since, fell from a wagon and struck
his lead on stone. His mind was a
blank for three months, and then,
when he finally got it going it began
to produce poetry. Now he does very
little but write verses. He has had
put in pamphlet form about thcus.
and lines on the war in South Africa
The Introductory lines run rs follows:
Here's a toast to old England, the
bloody old robber,
May she have war enough, till for
peace she will slobber,
Till tears Of contrition Will roll down
her chin;
Repent and beg pardon of the Beers
for her sin,
And give them their rights; and her
armies march home,
Meath the flag of Gods kingdom,
whose flag has now come.
To those who have seeing, to those
not all blind
Whose stars are true stars, and whose
day stars the sun.
Whose light is so bright that the rest
save the moon, are not seen.
Meath the flag of whose folds encom-
pass the earth;
Meath the Star Spangled Banner,
whose stars God gave birth.
Whose stars are real stars, and whose
stripes Great Jove made;
Beneath this great flag all others
shall fade.
Neither tyrants, nor knaves, despcts
not Tories,
This flag shall ever lower, not belittle
it's glory.
Neither death, He'll nor devils, shall
against it prevail
Twas made of the mettle that never
will fail.

far removed from the principals of this

could be gathered it may be said that
Schley belongs to the Farragut element
of the navy--to that class who received
their training abo, rd ship and not in

enlisted men in the navy and is as cor
daily hated by the la-de-dah element
that seems to have gained foot-hold
in the officers quarters. Sampson Is

death blow to the principles Of democra-
cy in the navy. The fact that Scbley
happens to be Democrat in no wise
dampens the ardor Of the element that
is seeking to destroy his reputation as
an officer and his character as man.
The action of this coterie of parlor
warriors will make Schley more of n
