HOUR OF DEATH.
a a. m. Was Peculiarly
Fatal to Dogs at One Time,

Chief of Police John Durkin
grew reminiscent Wednesday after
noon as he recalled the crusade
against dogs, which, as Mayor L. ID.
Seward started ii years ago.
"We--the police, mean-had TO go
out dog hunting with shot guns every
morning at 4 o'clock. All the men on
the night trick We're supposed to obey
this order, and woe to any dog which
was found at large at that unseason-
able hour. And gun would make
such an awful racket at that time of
day! Windows would go up and heads
come out for blocks around as the ex-

since have heard about the killing
of that dog. 1t was If years old-old
enough to die-and pet. But 1t was
a smart dog and they buried it in box

And lie Will Resign as
Dog-Catcher.
Another Will be Ap-
pointed at Once.
Burial OF Dead Dogs Is a
Problem.

WIN. Siebert will send in his resig-
nation as dog-catcher before he begins
the work. He reached this conclusion
after a talk with city officials Thurs,
day morning.
"It is too much bother for all there
is in it." he declared. "If they will
give ME salary / will take the job.
But / get nothing for catching dogs
that are not redeemed, and maybe
will get MY head broke for catching
somebody's dog"
Mr.. Siebert was at the City Building
early Thursday morning to find out
more about his work, but his enthus-
asm had waned. The police told him
weird tales of the trouble he would
have and the expense he would need
incur for badge, etc.
Mayor Doyle, Chief Durkin, Prose
uctor Benner and Sanitary Officer Hoye
accompanied Siebert before the City
Commissioners to see what arrange,
ments could be made for paying Mr..
Siebert something for dsposing of
dogs which were not called for. The
ordinance says these shall be killed.
1t was thought that the city could pay
the dog-catcher for burying them, but
Col. Hoye refused to construe the or
dinance that way. 1t developed that,
although the ordinance allows 81 each
for burrying animals found dead on
the street, that Col Hoye has long had
a contract whereby he has the work
done at cost of but 90 cents to the
city.
The City Commissioners said they
would appoint new dog-catchcr al
once, and told Mr.. Sieoe-t to send in
his resignation without delay.

PAN HANDLE BAPTBTS
CONTINUE IN SESSION.
An INTERESTING DAY WAS YES
TERDAY IN THE CONVENTION
AT THE FIRST BAPTIST
CHURCH.
REPORTS FROM FOREIGN FIELD
Interesting Addresses BY various
Members and DeIegates-To-Day'
Programme.

The Sunday school convention of
/ the Pan Handle Baptist Association. in
annual session at the First Baptist
7 Church in this city, completed its
/ labors yesterday morning, and in the
| afternoon the Pam Handle Baptist As
ISOLATION began it's thirty-sixth annual
session at the same place.
The mornings exercises of the Sun
day school convention were opened by
devotional services conducted by Rev.
X. II. Tracy, of Hillsville, Pa.
Then followed reports from the yari-
Gus Sunday schools within the ASSOC
citation interesting mainly to the con-
vention.
Rev. W. H. McKlSeen. of Claysyille,
Pa, followed with a Steen minute adj
dress on the subject OF Parental Obi
cations to the Sunday Schools, and
parents would do well to note the ex-
cellent advice suggested to them by the
speaker.
According to the programme brief
discussion of the subject should have
followed, but these have thus far been
omitted for lack of time.
Miss Mary l.. Scott, of Moundsville,
followed with a fifteen minute address
on The Development of the Songs and
the Lesson in Primary Sunday School
Work" The heart of the speaker is
evidently in her work and her talk was
a "heart-to-heart" one. As natural
result she held the close attention of
her audience from beginning to end of
her address. If only all teachers-in
Sunday schools and other schools
could but be as she says in the fol-
lowing: I'VE, as conscientious teach
ers, are always seeking to understand
the little ones entrusted to our care.
We long to see the childs character
develop gradually and evenly" That
was a sermon in sentence.
w. C. Shafer. of Fairmont, State
secretary Of nter-denominational Sun
day school work, then entertained and
instructed the convention with a
chalk talk" in which he wisely ex-
patiated on the value of the blackboard
in the Sunday school. and illustrated
methods of work suggested by him
self. The clear headed, well-informed
teacher. furnished with a good black
board and crayon, and able to hold
the attention and excite the interest OF
a pupil has but little need for text
books save as manuals.
Rev. i. e. Peters also gave a brief
talk on 1.-THE Home Department The
sneaker is evidently one of those wise
Christians that always walks on the
sunny side of life's streets and absorhs
as much of the sunshine of Christian
ity and life as possible. His talk was
eresting-intensely so to sinners as
we'll as to churehmen. He said there
were two classes of church people who
did not go to Sunday school, those
that stayed at home because they

again try to further develop the Cole
rain oil fed, and it is said leasing will
commence soon. Many people think the
field was not fully developed, and that
there is still oil in this territory.
The lecture course is now assured,
and tne course is one of the best ever
secured for this city. The course is
given for the benefit of the High scool
and is a most deserving cause, but the
public can rest assured that they will
more than get value for their money.
Some of the citizens would like to use
the portion of West Hanover street that
has been paved as far as the junction
Of the Colerain pike. But it is thought
this privilege will have to be secured
from the street committee, as they have
charge of inspecting the work, and ac-
cepting same.
Truant Officer Thomas Stanton is
doing good work, and has already
served a number of notices. In this
city there is quite a number of child
rem that should be in school, but so
far have been let alone Mr.. Stanton
will keep a careful watch and no doubt
will find many cases.
The strike, or really the closing down
of the Gaylord mine by the company
and locking out of the miners. remains
about the same, and some of the work
men have secured places in other mines.
The workmen in this mine are very in
tellgent, and men who aim to do their
best while working Over one hundred
men are idle, but so far they have shown
no bitter feeling, and ali their actions
during their trouble have been carried
on in manner that bears no criti-
cism 1t is said the operators are only
using this means so as TO close their
mine until they make some repairs. But
many, even other operators, do not
credit this story, and express other
ideas.
The political situation in Belmont
county is slowly but surely warming
up, and while only ten weeks of a cam
paign for the State Democracy has been
arranged for, it looks very much as If 1t
would be a warm one. Every citizen
of Ohio should read the Democratic
platform, and should fully consider the
quality Of the men on the Democrat C
state ticket. This platform and Its
nominees mean lower taxes and an
economic administration OF State
affairs. No taxpayer who believes in
reform, can refrain from voting the
Democratic ticket. Fer governor, Hon.
James II. Kilbourne is man whom all
have confidence in. He is one who be-
lieves that trusts should be fully taxed
and that railroads need no special
privileges as regards taxation. He
does not believe that any State or
county officers should receive passes
from railroads or street car companies.
Mr.. Kilbourne is an employer of hun
dreds of laboring people, and has
never had a strike or grievance, and no
man is held in higher esteem by union
labor than Hon. James X. Kilbourne
the next governor of Ohio. c. c. Cut
shaw. the Democratic nominee fol
member OF the legislature, is young
man of sterling qualities; one who
is capable for this position-a man who
! will represent this county for the ben
eft of all the people Mr.. Cutshaw is
especially for the laboring masses, and
! believes that they should have laws for
their protection as well as the trusts.
