THIEVES
Garry Off $3.50 Worth of Stuff Near Con-
StltutiOn.

During the heavy storm last night,
robbers got in their work at. ain oil
we'll near Constitution. getting away
with close to $3.50 worth of loot.
j. r. Cleary stated that he lost by the
theft good skiff. about 500 feet of
inch and a quarter rope and lot of
valuable brass fixings off of an engine
that stood close to the derrick. 1t is
believed that the robbers headed down
the river as it would have been impos
sible for them to pull uD stream with
the current running as it was last
night.
The looting of oil we'll rigs and en-
glnes along the Ohio river has been a
common practice among the gentry
during the past two years and this af-
fair is only one of many.

NEW COMPANY
Puts in Operation Its Messenger Service
Monday Morning.

The Marietta District Telegraph Co., 4,
formed several days ago for the pur-
pose of furnishing to the people of the
city messenger service, began business
in its Office on Butler street Monday
morning. One messenger answered
calls yesterday, but on Wednesday an
other boy will be added. The force
win, of course be increased from time
to time as increase in business will
render enlargement necessary.
Uniforms have been ordered and all
messengers will be required to pro,
vide themselves with the suits. The
latter will be dark blue with red
trimmings and upon the metal buttons
of the uniform will be stamped the in
itials NJ. d. T.

patronage.

FUNERAL REQUIEM

ceased's home near Mt. Washington

of the First Presbyterian church, of
this city, in accordance with the young
mans dying request, conducted the

Ter home Sunday at 2:3O O'Clock in the
afternoon.
A large concourse Of sorrowing
friends and relatives followed the frail
tenement of clay to the cemetery and
there gazed momenUarily on the pallid
features before they were shut from
view to mingle with the elementa!
forms of the mineral kingdom.
Eleven brothers and sisters besides
the parents survive the young man
who was laid ut rest Sunday.

VIENNA
Post Office and Store Looted by Two
Thieves.

There was another robbery at VII
emma, six miles below here, last Satur-
day night, making about the fourth af-
fair of the kind within the past year
The post office and store at that place
was broken into and robbed of a large
supply of eatables and tobacco.
The robbery was not discovered un
til Sunday morning, when w. w.
Wells, the postmaster, went down to
open up and attend to the regular sun
day morning business. He reported
the matter to both the United States
and local authorities, giving them the
description of two men seen hanging
about the place Saturday evening. II
is believed that the robbers reside on
the Ohio side nearly opposite Vienna
and that the same ones have been
guilty of previous robberies of the
same place, as the method of entrance
is always the same and there has new
er been any clue left as to the identity
of the criminals.

ON PIONEER DAY
Grand Lodge Of Masons VIII Convene 10
This City.

Some time ago the County Commits
sioners decided that the Grand Lodge
of Ohio Masons should be given the
privilege of laying the corner stone of
the new Court House.
Monday morning the secretary of the
local lodge received a telegram from
the Grand Lodge to the effect that the
order would convene here on April 7th.
This date is the anniversary of the
landing of the pilgrim fathers and it
would seem highly appropriate thai
the new building be formally started
on a spot where 100 years and more
ago there were only the tangled bushes
or briars of an uninhabitated country.
April 7th falls on Sunday. BY some
people it is considered inappropriate to
hold the ceremony on the Sabbath.
Either the sixth or the eighth of April
would remove this objection. But
whether the building will be far
enough along in the course of con-
struction is a matter for a certain
amount of speculation. One of the
County Commissioners stated to the
Leader Monday that Contractor Ellis
was expected from Cincinnati in a day
or two and they would be better in
formed then than now. Something in
regard to fixing the date will probably
be done during the next few days.

And thrown my satchel across the gate.
My school is out for season of rest,
And now for the schoolroom love the

My schoolroora lies on the meadow wide,
Where under the clover the sunbeams
Where the long vines cling to the messy

And the daisies twinkle like fallen stars;
Where clusters of buttercups eild the
scene,
Like showers of gold-dust thrown over
And the winds flying footsteps are traced.

Ny lessons are written in clouds and

And no one whispers. except the breeze.
Who sometimes blows from a secret
A stray. sweet blossom against my face.
Ny schoolbell rings in the ripping
Which hides itself. like a schoolboy's
dream,
Under the shadow and out of sight.
But laughing still for it's own delight.
Ny schoolmates there are the birds and

And the saucy squirrel, more dull than

For he only learns in all the weeks,
How many chestnuts will fill his cheeks.

A lesson of hers did once forget,
For wonderful lore do her lips impart,
And all her lessons are learned by heart.

ITO Be Continued
Easily Wakened.

DR.. Bloomfield, bishop of London half
a century ago. was man of much wit,
and also had keen appreciation of wit
in other people, whatever their walk in
life might be. Once, when a new
church in. his diocese was to be conse-
Grated, the bishop received several let
ters complaining that the architect of
the new church had disfgured the in
terror and exterior with useless gew-
gaws." Consequently the bishop went
down to the little town to make an in
spection of the building, and sum-
moneG the architect to meet him there.
The bishop could find nothing amiss
with the exterior of the church, nor
with the interior until, just as he
reached the chancel, he looked up and
saw four wooden images apparently
guarding the pulpit. what do these
figures representa- he inquired. "The
four evangeiists, my lord" replied the
architect. "They appear to be asleep -
said the bishop. 'Do you think so, my
lord?'' ''That's the way they look to
me-" said the bishop, decidedly.
John" called the architect to a man
who was at work on one of the pews,
"bring your chisel and open the eyes of
the evangelists. "-Youth's Companion.

CHAPTER III.

Down along the building railway in
the valley of the Platte there had been
two years of frequent encounter with
small bands of Indians. Down along
the Smoky Hill, in Kansas, the Chey-
ennes were ever giving trouble. Even
around Laramie and Frayne, on the
North Platte, settlers and soldiers had
been murdered, as we'll as one or two
officers, caught alone out hunting, and
the Indians were, of course, the per-
petrators. Nevertheless, it had been
the policy of the leaders of the North
ern Sioux to avoid any meeting in force
and to deny the completely of their peo-
pie in the crimes committed. Supply
trains to Reno, Kearney and C.. F..
Smith. the Big Horn posts of the Bcze-
man trail, went to and fro with guards
OF only moderate size. Officers had
taken their wives and. children to these
far-away stations The stockades were
filled with soldiers families. Zig bands
of Indians roamed the lovely valleys of
the Piney, the Tongue and Rosebud,
near at hand, and rode into full view of
the wary sentries at the stockades, yet
made no hostile demonstration. OH
GERS and men went far mp the rocky
