Bethel, Ohio, is mad as hor-
net. His church is lighted with
oil lamps and he says: The

and kiss in the semi-darkness
He knows they kiss because
the services have been inter-
rupted by the smacks, and now
he is going to resign unless the
trustees furnish more lamps,
i he wants more light an the

.AcTUATED by desire for revenge and

drugstore OF Mrs. Sarah White at La
Center, in Clarke county, a few days

set fire to it, and was himself con-
sumed in the flames. As the result of

ness, Davis either swallowed the con
tents OF vial of poison or laid down
and permitted himself to be cremated
alive. The former theory is thought
to be the most probable. Davis hated
Mrs. White, who kept the opposition
drug store about fifty yards from hi,
own. He imagined that she was un.
fair in trade and that her efforts were
directed toward injuring his business
The dead man was IS years of age and

BRIGHTENs THE OUTLOOK.
settlement of the Coal Strike Re-
moves Only Serious Handicap
to Trade Progress.

New York, Oct. IS. = Bradstreet's
says: "With the settlement of the
great coal strike of 1902, the most
remarkable in some respects of mod
ern record, practically the only I'M
favorable feature in general trade
and industry disappears. Coincident
with this, also, have been the ending
of several minor troubles of SINH
lar nature. While relief to the pub
lie mind is, perhaps, the most imme
date result, it is natural to expect
that present abnormal prices and con-
ditions in fuel supply will gradually
disappear. Some scars of course will
be left, and the effect of the costly
trouble will, no doubt, be reflected
in some permanent loss of trade in
the mining regions and in rather
higher. prices for fuel the coming
winter than were paid a year ago.
All other trade developments this
week are largely favorable. Retail
trade has generally improved, slim
ulated at the west, northwest ami
south by cooler weather. fall festi-
walls and carnivals. Jobbing demand
is also better, particularly at the
west"
r. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review Of
Trade says: Settlement of the coal
strike removes the only serious hand
leap TO Industrial progress. Five
months of restricted fuel production
had begun to check the wheels at
many manufacturing centers, while
there was perceptible diminution
in consumptive demands as the pur-
chasing power of the wage-earners
steadily decreased. Savings have been
exhausted and much money has gone
out of the country because of this
struggle, but the nations remarka
bly, strong position assures a speedy
restoration of prosperous conditions.
Transportation is now the worst fea-
ture and threatens to continue dis
turbing. While the grain crops arc
being moved the supply of rolling
stock and motive power will prove in
sufficient, although every effort is
made at the shops, liberal premiums
being offered for early delivery.

owing to the remarkably cool and
wet summer experienced throughout
considerable part of Europe, the
harvest of 1902 is one of the latest

partly fulfilled in Europe, allowing

Sheriff spradley began search for
the murderer. A week later Jim Blu
chanan was arrested and confessed
to the murder. The news of the ne

marched after the sheriff and his dep
uties with the intention of securing
possession of the negro and burning
him at the stake. Sheriff Spradley
and his deputies refused to give over
the prisoner, and later they were
joined by Sheriff Bowers, of San Au-
gustine county. The two officers,
through a ruse, finally succeeded in
spiriting the negro away to the par
ish Jail at Shreveport. Buchanan was
next taken to the Jail at Henderson
and a company of militia were or
dered cut to protect the negro from
violence. A mob formed, and 1t was

Two more companies of militia were

and belief that from this arbitration
will come "a complete, satisfactory and
