Time soon effaces the works Of pre-
vious generations. Especially is this
so when the demands Of the white
mans business life decree that the
old and the historic shall give way
before the new and the useful. Re-

the Ohio river between Pittsburg and
Beaver. On this land are to be erect
ed enormous steel works. and a new
city is to spring up, to be called Am

quaint old communistic town of Econ
Omy, which in turn had usurped the
place Of Logstown. This former
place was a town of great importance
In the old days prior to the French
and Indian war. II was a center used
by the French in their dealings with

came Washington in 1853 when on his
tourney as ambassador to the French.
The FIST definite knowledge we have
of Logstown Is in the journal of Con-
rad Weiser, who. on Aug. q, 174S. ar
rived there on an important mission

town. and says that the salute was re-

busy all this time at LOgstOwn. In
1749 CelOron was there. In 1851 JON

in the town. This French officer was
one Of the most able of diplomats in
dealing with the Indians. but all his
fine art would not win his way with
the Logstown chiefs, who returned to
him his speech-belt. Logstown was
the scene Of an important treaty made

to this famous old town was made on
Nov. 25, 1853 There he remained for
several days while finishing his plans
for the long trip to the French posts

Some time during the night Shaw's
secondhand store was broken into and a
shotgun. several watches and a revolver
were carried of. The thieves were evil

they overlooked a number of things of
greater value. They entered through the
hack door. Several holes were bored in
a circle and after the block in the center
was knocked out. it is thought they
reached through and turned the lock. The
burglary was not discovered until the
store was opened Yesterday morning.
When /. 3. Hardesty opened his store
Yesterday he discovered that he had also
been visited during the night one gun
was found missing. 1t is thought that
the thieves used a skeleton kev.-as all
the doors and windows were locked and
everything was in good shape. They left

and late last night no arrests had been
made.

WAS NOT GRANTED.
Sumner County Commissioners Want
Consent of Farmers.

The Wellington Journal has the follow
in gto say regarding the application of
the Interurban railway for a franchise
through Sumner county:
The application of the United Rail
way and Construction company for a
franchise through Sumner county was
not granted by the commissioners yes
terday. w. W. Spencer. agent of the
corporation, was told to first get the
consent Of the farmers along whose prop
erty the proposed road Will pass, and to
again appear before the board at the
February meeting. At that time the
commissioners will hear protests, if there
are any. against the building of the pro-
posed road. and consider them in grant
ing the franchise. Another reason for
deferring the matter was request from
Wellington business men to give them a
chance to confer with the company with
view of securing the main line of the
road through Wellington. The company
proposes, as announced in the Journal
last night, to run a branch line from the
main line near Dalton TO connect with
Wellington"

MR.. CORNELL PREACHED.
At the Methodist Revival Services
Last Nioht

To an audience which filled the First
NJ E. church last night Mr.. Cornell
preached one of the most powerful ser
mons that has been heard during the
meetings which are now in progress.
Tie took his text from the story OF Naa-
man, found III. Kings V chapter The
speaker dwelt on the several points most
prominent in the story and then took
up his subject
But he (Naaman) was a leper"
He said that sin. like leprosy. was in
durable by any human agency. Naaman
/ the commandeT-in-chief of the Syrian
army would have been cured his own
way if wealth or position could have
purchased the cure. but his wealth and
position were of no avail in cleansing him
from his leprosy. and so il is In these
days-many men would like to purchase
their way into heaven. but like Naa-
man OF old, they must accept the cure
for their sin. not in their way but in
Gods way and His way only. Dwelling
for a few moments on men who expect
to reach heaven on account Of their mo-
rality, he said that any man could be
moral and never be a Christian. but no
moral and any man who was depending
on morality cure for sin was ap-
plying 10 the wrong source. Mt Cor
nell very graphically described the seem
