Washington, d. c.. March A.
The proudest man In all this land
and probably in the whole wide
world, II Jack" Adams. who lives
near Minerva, Ohio. Adams Is a
lively son of Erin whose whiskers
grow out of his neck and are vul-
carly known az lambrequins, but
for ali that there Is sunshine In his
soul and he will see the inaugural
parade from the best stand In town.
the Presidents. Saturday the
Buckeye Irishman had lunch with
the President and Mrs. Mckinley
mt the White House. The door,
keepers, the ushers and even the
lordly Arthur Simmons. the Senc-
gambian dean of the high ilunlcys
showed Jack" great honor and
Difference. But they know their
business and when the Presidents y
farmer comes to town they know
there's a large mount of attention
due him. Last year Adams made
the Presidents farm pay good
dividend and his visit To the Exc-
cutivc mansion Is for the purpose
Of giving an account of his stew
ardship.
A Washington dispatch to the
Cleveland Plaindcalcr tell OF the
visit OF Jack Adams. who manag-
es the Mckinley farm near Miner
va, and his friend, Nr. Alexander,
Minerva tinsmith, and quotes
Mr., Adams as follows:
"Just before the Inauguration
OF '97, Mr.. Mckinley asked me II |
did not want to- come To Washing
ton. Well, | was pretty busy fix
ing up things on the farm just then
40 | said no, would come to the
next one. The President laughed
and said to remind him and he
would send mo n pass, lie sent
for two barrels Of apples not long
ago and wrote him a note re-
minding him OF his promise to
send me n pass, and | got it in the
next mail.
"Whcn my friend Alexander and
| went up to the White House the
President held out his hand and
said; I'm glad to see you.' and
asked me about my health and my
family and how everybody was
doing. | told him ! had just come
to town and got "A room. He said:
Not a bit OF 1t. You are to stay
right here in the White House you
aud your friend said did not
like to impose on him, but he said
1t was no imposition and that |
must bring my grip and stay the
week out as his guest and he
would see that had n good time
and do everything for me that he
could. He made out ticket that
passed US to the grand stand to see
the parade, and also gave US seats
at the capitol and admission to the
inaugural ball"
According to Mr.. Adams. the
ball was the grandcst thing nc ever
saw, and he is very glad he nc
ceptcd the Presidents invitation
to come to Washington.

w. A. Graham made his settle
mcnt with the county court last
week and the same was approved.
Monday of this week the court not
being fully satisfied with the de-
linquent tax books called Mr.. Gra-
ham back to go over them. Mr..
Graham produced his receipts,and
stu b books, ctc.and at the conclu-
sion of the day the court was fully
satisfied. Mr.. Graham during the
last year collected over $4,000 OF

A rtodern Ananias.

Ono Of the most pleasant enter
talnments II has ever been our lot
to attend was the one given for the
High School Band.
The play rendered showed care
full preparation and we could
hardly believe that so much ta-
lent had remained latent until this
play was given.
The band under the leadership
OF Mr.. Herbert Sharp, (Ruben
stein AZ he Is known In musical
circlcs) played sweet strains OF
music before and during the inter-
inns in the play. The boys have
done well thus far and we are
proud OF them.
The ladies of play were strong
cast. Miss Ethel Owings as Pru-
dcncc Mayflower, Miss Lucille
Washington az Nellie Goldengate
and Miss Cora Barnes as the maid
formed n trio az radiant, as beau-
tiful and as entertaining as any
one could find.
Roy Ham as Baby was especial
ly good and his specialties were
hard to beat. Messrs Jacks, Nc
Quic, Chaplin and Hupe played
their parts well thus making all
the parts blend into most excel
lent play.
II was hard to believe that Earl
Fuller was only an ameteur bicle
rider for his work waa fine and
fully up to any we have ever seen.
This play was 80 much enjoyed
by all that an another one would
be in order. Our home talent l..
more than sufficient to supply US
with amusements. Let us encour-
age it.

hrs. Nations Niece a Freak.

Kokomo, Ind, March 9.--Niss
Pearl Curry Of Sycamore, this
county, a niece of Mrs. Carrie Ma
tion, the Kansas crusader, and n
granddaughter Of Capt. James X.
Nation Of this place, has recovered
from the effects Of a perverted ap-
petite. For over year Miss Cur
ry lived on nothing but salt. vine-
gar and lemons. Her stomach
would assimuiate nothing but acids
ank her digestive organs would re-
tain no food OF a fattening nature.
She would eat salt by the tcacup-
full and drink cups Of the strongest
vinegar with evident relish. Somc-
times she ate n sour apple, but
preferred lemons. As the result of
her unnatural appetite and inabili-
ty to digest nourishing food, Miss
Curry was reduceh almost to n
skeleton. At the beginning of her
fast she weighed 1870 pounds and
two months ago she weighed sixty
pounds. She was reported dying
and, as last resort, food was
forced into her system. freshly
drawn blood and milk being in
jccted hypodermically. She be-
gan to improve and Is now rccov-
ering. She assimilates all kinds
of solid foods. Her appetite for
salt, vinegar and other acids is no
longer abnormal. Her case BALI
led the skill of several physicians
who called to see her. Her rccov-
cry Is regarded a. the most sur
prising feature of the peculiar case.

what have come to be known as
"kitchen accidents.
One remarkable case is reported
from Spring Hill in johnson coun-
ty. Miss Rystnea Kimebough was
working by the kitchen fire when
her apron became ignited. She
tore the apron OIL and ran out of
the room, only to return for the
purpose of putting out the flames
which had caught in some other
clothing lying on chair. This time
her skirts caught fire, and she ran
screaming toward a neighbor's,
making a horrible human torch as
she went. Every garment was
burned from her person except her
wooden stockings and she d led in
agony few hours later.
