EDITOR JOHN FREW DEAD.
Ne was one Of the Leading Newspaper
men In III state.

John Frew, president and general
manager Of the Wheeling Intelligent
Ger Publishing company, who has been
very III since early in June, died Satur-
day night, after having two hemor-
ri1ages during the day. The sad event,
while expected, has shocked the com
munity In which Mr., Frew had carved
out life's career Of so years. Tine
cause Of Mr.. Frew's death was liver
trouble.
Mr.. Frew was born near Belfast,
Ireland, in 1895. His parents came 10
America in 1885 and settled at Steu-
benville, Ohio. Here early in life he
entered the office Of the Herald and
learned the printing trade. Coming
to Wheeling In 1852 he soon entered
the employ of the Intelligencer, Of
which In 1866 he became one Of the
proprietoTs and later It's president and
general manager. When the Civil
war broke out sentiment for time
wayered, and to Mr.. Frewand the late
Archie w. Campbell. editor Of the pa
per, was ascribed the speedy prepoud-
erance Of Union sentiment. Old resi-
dents sim recall his act Of hoist
ing The stars and Stripes In the face Of
secessionists' threats that they would
pull down the lag. Within an hour
after this the town was atlutter with
the Old hagS, Mr. Frew's lead having
been all that was necessary 10 bring
about this showing % the real senti-
ment of the community.
He served as State printer, city
councilman, and was frequently a
delegate to the party conventions, in
Guiding the National Republican con-
yentiun OF 1855, to which he was sent
as delegate,at-Iaree from West viz
ginia. In 1850 he was a Republican
candidate for elector-at.large. He
was a charter member Of the Associ.
ated Press and was regular attendant
at its meetings.
lie is survived by his wife aud two
daughters, Mrs. James X. Han. Of
Wheeling aud Mrs. Hugh y. scott. Of

FIRES ANOTHER CHARGE.
Portland Observer Bangs Away at
the Banner and Beldfng
Republicans.

Neighbor Cutcheon of the Portland
Observer says this week that the
BANNER is still devoting considerable
space to the Observer and then takes
a full column to tell about it and give
US a history of republicanism in Beld-
ing. The BANNER will not attempt
to reply to his article in detail for
several reasons, leaving him TO claim
that we cannot or dare not if he so
chooses. He states that Mr.. Hixon's
action was backed by petition
signed by republicans of his town,
which we already knew. We suppose
that was perfectly satisfactory to
the republican candidate for this Of
flee. The republicans of Portland
had right to do that but republicans
of other parts of the county must not,
or they are liable TO have the riot act
read to them by the Observer.
In relation to the history of cleo
tions in this city and even before the
city was organized it is impossible to
say much without entering into some
personalities which we do not think
would do any good to rake up at this
time, and do not consider this matter
of enough Importance TO warrant any
such action. Cutcheon knows some
things about political history in this
county, but he does not know it all by
a long shot or else he only cares to
state what he can twist and distort in
trying to prove his case. As to our
city elections, which are purely local
affairs; they have been split by fact
ional fights, it is very true, we regret
to say, and as result, democrats
have been elected, although the BAN
NER has always and will continue to
oppose all factionalism. This trouble
however has not been experienced
with the county, state or national
tickets, of which we were speaking.
Yes, the republicans of Bedding are
men who have about the same feel

sections of the county and again we
repeat what we said two weeks ago,
that they will not be set down upon
right straight along without some
thing happening. We do not say this
with any intention OF conveying a
threat, but merely as warning. We
think we are in position to know pretty
we'll the temper of leading republi-
cans of the city and know it is not
idle talk. Editor Cutcheon claims,
"the supposed facts were learned
through altogether different sources"
Perhaps so. Perhaps brother Clutch
con was so innocent he did or does not
know anything about these other
matters. We have lived long enough
in Bedding however to learn few
things about our county politics, and
to learn that there is quite a DISPOSE
ton to "knock" any body or any thing
coming from Bedding in certain
quarters. If it is good politics, keep

THEY TOOK THE GIRL.
Very sensational kidnapping Az
fair In Belding Last Week.

IL is safe TO say that no such sensa-
tion has been created in Belding in
some time as was stirred up last Fri
day by the Selling of little six-year-
old Edna Passmore at the second ward
school house and carrying her away
in spite of all attempts to prevent il.
Readers of the BANNER probably re-
member seeing in last weeks issue a
notice of the marriage of Mrs. Myra
Passmore, daughter of Richard Bris-
tol and Frank Goss of Battle Creek.
which took place at the NJ. f. parson-
age Little Edna is a daughter of
Mrs. Passmore, and has always lived
with her grandparents ever since she
was born. The Bristols came to Beld-
ing from Vernon about two years ago,
but not much was known here of their
family affairs or relations. Many
people have noticed the bright and
pretty little girl, but her mother was
unknown here.
Why the grandfather was so 10th to
give up the little one to its mother
last week can only be conjectured,
but it is evident she proposed to have
her at all hazards. Mr.. Bristol had
warned the teachers at the school
where she attended against such a
possible attempt but Friday morning
Mr.. and Mrs. Goss accompanied by a
stranger, understood to be lawyer,
visited the school, and Mrs. Goss in
quired for the child The teacher,
Miss Whitney refused them but it
done no good, as they pushed the
teacher to one side and grabbed her
making off down the street, being
chased by the teachers for some dis
lance. They obtained a carriage
from Fales and drove to Lowell. Mr..
Bristol was quickly informed of what
had happened and Fastening to
Knott's barn he secured a rig and
started after them post haste. What
he expected to accomplish is not
known, probably he was too excited to
know himself. He overlook them but
they refused to give her up and of
course he was unable to take her by
force.
1t is strange case and shrouded
with mystery which may be cleared
up later on. People here generally
sympathize with Mr.. Bristol and many
condemn the school board even be-
cause they did not take a hand and
try to prevent the removal of the
child. Goss formerly published pa
per at Vernon, but sold out three
years ago and as been working since
in Offices in Lansing and Battle Creek.
He seemed to be well supplied with
money.

A contemporary remarks: 1.-The
man with a big household to support
is confronted with dismal outlook for
the approaching winter. High prices
are being demanded for nearly every
necessity of life. The cost of living
has been increased quite a per cent
over what it was year ago. Meats,
the most important item in living ex-
penses, have reached the top notch in
high prices. Eggs, bread-stuffs, dairy
and garden products, and nearly
everything that goes upon the table,
has enhanced abnormally in value.
Fuel is high and prices of nearly
everything one has to buy are up"
Very true, there is large increase
in the cost of living but it should not
be overlooked in that connection that
there is also plenty of work for every
one and that wages have also add
vanced. You can all remember very
well the condition five and six years
ago. Everything was cheap enough
then. But while you could buy so
cheaply, common labor was glad to
find employment at $l.00 per day, and
lots of good men could find no work
even at that price Common labor
has been paid as high as $500 per day
this summer and fall, and sl.50per day
b as been the lowest, with a steady
demand all the time for men. Don't
complain about the high cost of living
under such prosperous conditions as
makes the higher cost possible.

Women and Levels.

Jewels, candy, flowers, man-that is
the order OF woman's preferences.
Jewels form magnet of mighty power
OF the average woman. Even that
greatest OF all jewels, health, is often

or save the money to purchase them
1t q woman will risk her health to get
a coveted gem, then let her fortify her
self against the insiduous consequences
OF coughs, colds and bronchial affec-
lions by the regular use of DR.. Bos.
chee's German Syrup. 1t will prompt
ly arrest consumption in its early
stages and heal the affected lungs and

disease from the system. 1t Is not a

coughs, colds and all bronchial troubles.

The self-confessed defalcation of
the finance keeper of the Supreme
tent, knights of the Maccabees, is a
pathetic example and warning as TO
how man, without original intention
of wrong doing, may involve himself
in financial situation which brings
about his inevitable downfall. This
officer of a fraternal society was a
successful and trusted business man.
His official connection with his society
has existed for eighteen years, during
which time he has handled and dis
bursed more than fifteen millions of
dollars. His record was above re-
proach, but in an evil moment he used
the funds in speculation he believed
sure and safe. 1t failed and he is
ruined.

Strong expresses himself as being
very much pleased to know that his
term of Office is soon TO expire. Mr..
Strong has made very efficient OFF,
Ger, and to the best of his judgment
has interpreted the drain laws in an
impartial manner. The drain laws
are largely mandatory, so when a

matter. Mr.. Strong will turn over
