The remodeling and enlarging of the

Mrs. George ID. Farter block, whereby
the whole lot, 67 by 200 feet, Is thrown

In the south half Of this building was
where Martin Lohr had his dry goods

occupied as a residence. The whole
building was not ore-twentieth the size
of the coming new store room. A few
years after first saw Mr.. Lohr in the

the two-story brick building on the
northwest corner Of Tuscarawas and
Court streets, which was the original

keep store in said room until his death,
some ten years after he went there.
Mrs. Lohr was an excellent assistant
in her husbands store. In those days
lady clerks were not employed, but
sometimes the proprietor's wife would
assist, and Mrs. Lohr could do that ad-
mirably. They had but one son, whose
name was Menias Lohr. He also oc-
casionally would assist in the store,
but never took much interest in the
business, preferring other kinds of oc-
cupation. Menias Lohr had a family

owned for quite a whilc the whole block

the building as planning mill and sar-

he lived.
Martin L"hr also owred the whole

of Cleveland avenue between Tenth
and South streets, and part of this
block was the last to pass out of the
hands of Menias Iohr, the only son of
Martin Lohr.

Washington, Nov. 4.-President
Roosevelt Saturday issued his procla.
nation fixing Thursday, Nov. %, as a
day Of national Thanksgiving. 1t fol.
lows:
A PROCLAIM alton.
The season is nigh when, according
to the time-hallowed custom Of our
people, the president appoints day
as the especial occasion for praise
and thanksgiving to God.
This thanksgiving finds the people
still bowed with sorrow for the death
of great and good president We
mourn President Mckinley because
we so loved and honored him; and the
manner of his death should awaken
in the breasts Of our people keen
anxiety for the country, and at the
same time a resolute purpose not to
be driven by any calamity from the
path of strong, orderly, popular lib
erty, which as nation we have thus
far safely trod.
Yet in spite of this great disaster.
1t Is nevertheless true that no people
on earth have such abundant cause
for thanksgiving as we have. The
past year In particular has been one
Of peace and plenty. We have pros.
pered In things material and have
been able to work for our own uplift,
ing in things intellectual and spiritual.
Let us remember that, as much has
been given us, much will be expected
from us; and that true homage comes
from the heart as well as from the
lips and shows itself in deeds. We
can best prove our thankfulness to
the Almighty by the way In which on
this earth and at this time each OF us
does his duty to his fellow men.
Now, therefore, |, Theodore Roose.
welt, president of the United States,
do hereby designate as a day of gen.
eral thanksgiving Thur-day, the 28th
Of this present November, and do
recommend that throughout the land
the people cease from their wonted
occupations, and at their several
homes and places OF worship rever-
emily thank the Giver of all good for
the countless blessings OF our national
life.
In witness whereof / have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affixed.

or his witnesses were unwilling to go
on the stand lest more would be re-
vealed than was cared for. 1t is known
that Prosecutor Day had been to Cum
berland, and was ready to attack the
character of the witnesses who had
been brought here in the prisoners
behalf So Attorney Turner decided
that no testimony for the defense
should be offered and he would make
his plea and let the case go at that.
Each attorney consumed an hour in
his argument, and the defense made an
ingenious argument in his effort to
break the strength of the testimony.
Prosecutor Day took the testimony
and clinched it and impressed 1t upon
the jury more forcibly by his eloquence,
and the result was that a verdict was
EASILY REACHED.
McGoyern was anxious when the jury
came in and showed decided nervous
ness. His chin quivered with suppress
ed feeling, but he exchanged a few
words with his counsel and seemed to
regain his composure.
The prosecutor moved for sentence
Saturday afternoon and 1t may be pass
ed before the final adjournment of court
for this week.
Judge Ambler's charge was pro-
nounced a masterful one, fair and i'm
partial, in which the rights of the pri-
soner were well taken care of. The
duty of the jury was clearly set forth
and all the light given on the question
of reasonable doubt and as to where
the burden of proof lay.
Prosecuting Attorney Day has re-
ceived many compliments for his work
in the case. He has been working up
on it for nearly year and a half, and
had all sorts of
DIFFICULTIES TO MEET.
1t is no easy thing to gather up proof
four years after crime has been COM
mitted and get sufficient evidence be-
fore a jury to secure a conviction, yet
that is what he did in this case.
1t is reported that there is evidence
in reserve that may result in bringing
other members of the same gang to
trial for completely in the same crime.
1t is apparent that the old gang that
had for so many years terrorized this
community is pretty well broken up,
and many of them are now behind the
bars.

Tears, Bottled Tears.

A physician, who has recently re- gently returned from Persia, says that the natives still believe that human tears are remedy for certain chronic diseases. At every funeral the bot tling of mouaners' tears is one of the chief features of the ceremony. Each of the mourners is presented with a sponge with which to mop his face and eyes, and after the burial, these sponges are presented to the priest, who squeezes the tears into a bottle which he keeps.

 Shares in Arizona mines are snapped up eagerly by the eastern investing public, provided the mines controlled by the companies have a good repu- tauon. therefore it is well to keep the reputation of our mining ventures on high plane and there will be very little trouble in placing the property in the eastern market Taking schemes will do more to throw down meritorious deals than any other ciuss.- Mohave County Miner
