INDICTMENTS
Will Not Be Nollied in the Case
of Morgan L. Nichols.

When the cases against Morgan L.
Nichols, City Clerk, came up for trial,
his attorneys said he would plead guilty
on one point II the prosecutor would
agree to having the others nollied. The
Prosecutor agreed to do SO. The defend
ants attorneys then wanted him to ask
Judge Dow to agree to having the other
indictments nollied. This the prosecutor
said he could not do. They then re-
quested him 10 ask the Judge TO give a
light sentence. This the prosecutor
said he could not do. Before court ad-
journed Monday the prosecutor told
the Judge he had agreed TO give bis
consent 70 having the indictments mol
lied, and thus fulfilled his promise, but
Judge Dow said he would not nollie the
indictments now, nor while Nichols is
serving his sentence, but that after his
sentence has expired the other indict-
ments would very probably be nollied.

The Council should carefully examine

gives them authority to oct, without
submitting the question TO vote, and
the responsibility is thrown upon them,
and should be assumed, what ever they
may decide to do.

BEAUTlfULlN LIFE.
Hearts Are Bleeding Over the
UntimeIy Death Of Mrs. G.
J. McCune.

The whole community was shocked, Tues
day afternoon. when IL was learned that
Laura Miller McCune had been taken away
from earth TO Heaven. Just one week before
her friends were rejoicing over her happy
motherhood a healthys pound boy having
been born to the proud parents. on June25.
Congratulatinn and flowers were showered
upon them for a few days and now as
we write Thursday flowers at the door of
the home tell the sad story TO the passerby.
Within, surrounded by the greatest pr..fusion
of beautiful flowers, lies the lifeless body Of
of the one, so dear to her many friends. six
years OF the happiest married life-so happy
as TO be remarked by those who knew them
best-were given TO Mr. and Mrs. Chris Nc
Cune.
Then came the baby boy, and IL seemed as
II every desire were fulfilled. But JOY was
but for few days. then the young mother
was seized with a chill, another aud another
aud then commissions. The friends and ply
sicians were alarmed, but she did not share
their anxiety. and assured her husband she
would get well.
Everything was done. that loving ones or
faithful physicians could devise. but death
claimed his own. and after the most intense
suffering, the dear one freed from pain
sadness never come.
Mrs. Laura McCune was the only daughter
OF Mr.. J. N. Miller. Born in this city Febru-
AIRY Is. $50. left motherless when less than
six years OF age. she grew TO womanhood in
the city of Bellefontaine. A sweet singer. of
happy disposition. an earnest Christian. a
devoted wife. proud mother. IL seems as II
she could not be spared. but Gods way Is not
our way, and today we drop a tear of sympa-
thy with those who are bereft.
From l O'Clock 10 Thursday afternoon. a
great many persons called at the J. N. Miller
home to take last look at the beautiful dead
Mrs. Laura McCune. Beautiful indeed
Loved ones fingered. for there was no SEM
blance of death IS she lay on her couch OF
roses. The great number Of floral tributes
told of the esteem In which she was held. and
OF the sympathy they would express for the
friends who were left.
The funeral was held at the NJ. f. church
OF which Mrs. Mccune was a faithful member
Her pastor. Rev. T. II. Campbell. was deeply
touched and his remarks were most beautiful
The choir was composed of those who were
near and dear to her. with whom she had so
often sung: Mrs. Jennie Cushman. Mr.. and
Mrs James Fulton and Mr.. Harry Kerr. The
anthems rendered were Cast Thy Burden on
the Lord. from Mepdelssohns Elijah sand
Lead Kindly Light" by Dudley Buck. Many
ey e. were filed with tears during the singing.
and IL was with difficulty the singers could
control their voices.
The remains were placed In the vault in the
Bellfontaine cemetery amid bank OF lovely
flowers and the friends returned to their
saddened homes

lated To have some Of the worst hills
on the. Rushsylvania pike cut down,
and the grade improved, was considered
and adopted without q vote against it.
A proposition to provide a room for
the convenience Of farmers and their
wives, when they come to our city,
where they may rest, and be made COM
Portable, was considered favorably and
q committee appointed to look after the
matter.
A committee was also appointed 10
confer with the Commissioners to urge
the advisability Of opening some of the
closets in the Court House, for farmers.
A motion expressing sympathy for
and endorsements of the Clerks of the
City In their effort to secure early clos.
ing hours, 30 far as 1t will be OF conven-
fence and benefit TO all concerned, was
