The $50 towns which voted against the
local option and high license law would
have elected representatives, to the Leg
slaturc on the liquor issue opposed to
license, whereas the yes towns number
ing only about 50 would have only that
number OF representatives, to favor IL
license law, conceding that all the yes
votes are for license, four towns having
made no choice either way owing to a
tic in the vote and two towns having
failed 10 report.
Equally interesting and significant is
the result when considered by counties
alone, as bearing upon the question OF

PLAN TO CONVERT INDIANS.
Catholic Missionary Has n Scheme to
Raise II Large Fund for the
Object.

Rev. II, G. Ganss, a Catholic mis-
sionary to the Indians, has devised
plan to convert and educate all the In
dians in the United States. He SAYS
that there are 100000 of them and that
100000 are already Catholics. He de-
veloped his scheme the other day in
Holy Trinity chapel, New York city.
Father Ganss asked every one of his
hearers to become promoter" Each
promoter pledges himself to give 25
cents year and to get II others to do
the same. Envelopes containing sub
scrlption blanks, with spaces for 19
names, were distributed. 1t is the in
tention to make the same appeal in
Catholic churches throughout the
union.
In putting the scheme into operation
each successful promoter will turn in

by the end of a year will exceed 81, ,OOO,-

civil service life appointeos will not
be in such great favor after a while,
We believe that civil service has add
ed nothing to the glory Or efficiency

that "to the victor belongs the spoils;"
and that the appointments made in
similar manner to the appointment of
Postmasters and that if all officials
were subject to the same inspection of
their work; and all the appointments
to Office were for periods of four
years that the public service would
not be so full of crookedness as it
seems to be growing under civil ser

INCEST WOMAN IN LONDON.
Unique Title in English
Society.

Mrs. Cornelia Wadsworth Adair,
"the incest woman in London" as she
is often called, has become such an in
tegral part of London life that people
forget she is an American. Mrs. Adair
doesn't forget it, however, nor does her
sister, Lady Barrymore. So when they
"bring out" Lady Barrymore's young
daughter, Miss Post, this month many
American amusements will mark the
festivities.
Mrs Adair went out to India for the
durbar as one of several guests invit-
ed by Lord Kitchener, with whom she
is prime favorite. This is only one of
the important social distinctions con
ferred upon her during the last winter,
for the royal family are all fond of
her. With Lady Barrymore for a
mother and Mrs Adair for an aunt
Miss Post may be reasonably certain of
having a gay young ladyhood.

the crew of the steamer.
Both steamers were bound up lake

the Turret Court parted when the yes.
sells were close together, and before
anything could be done, the Turret
Court had crashed into the Waverly

Every citizen Of Perrysburg should

Every citizen Of Perrysburg should
feel it a duty to do everything posi-
BILE to make the visit of the Wood
county teachers a pleasant one. They
come prepared to pay for everything
they get, but as the hotel accommo-
dation here is inadequate it will be
necessary that the private houses be
opened to them for lodging at least.
Meals can be procured at the hotels
and restaurants. The teachers have
been accustomed to paying $3.50
board and lodging for the week or
25 cents each, per night, for lodging,
and although there may be some in
convenience occasioned, it is the duty
of the people to make the visitors well
come, The reputation of the vii
lage for hospitality will be tested and
Perrysburg must not fail.

INFORMATION WANTED

ED. JOURNAL:
While the teachers of Perrysburg
and their friends are preparing for
the entertainment of the teachers
during the annual institute, it does
not seem as if they should work so
completely in the dark-with respect
to the teachers who expect to attend
the institute as they are now doing,
Our teachers are making a canvass of
the town to ascertain how many
are willing to open their homes and
yet they know not how many teachers
wish entertainment for the week.
Perrysburg homes will be opened if
it is necessary, certainly the teachers
who expect TO attend and who wish
places can make known this fact to
some one of our teachers. a postal
card or letter sent to Mrs. Kate
Jameson, Perrysburg, o., stating
what the teacher or teachers wish,
would give the information necess-
ary. / do not think that the Wood
County teachers expect us to make
preparations for entertainment when
they have not gone to the trouble of
asking for it. If the teachers are
coming, and we want them to come,
they will be glad to send us such in
formation and we shall be ready for
| them. HOUSEWIFE.

GAS OR OIL.

An eastern capitalist at Huron
recently made the statement
that he had leased lands along
the jim river in northern Beadle
county and would put down deep
wells prospecting for oil or gas.
1t is very prabable that gas can
be found under the entire arte-
sian basin. The Press believes
a test would demonstrate that
there is gas coming mp with the
artesian flow IN MiIler's last city
well. As has been stated before,
a pioneer citizen, J ID. Lawrence,
now deceased, demonstrated
there was gas in the old well put
down in Miller in 1856. He
made n crude arrangement to
separate the gas from the water,
anu lighted two or three even
ings. The citizens generally,
However, thought it a hoax, and
dismissed the matter from MUD.
But since gas has leen found in
abundance both at Pierre and
in Sully county in artesian wells,
it is certain that Mr.. Lawrence
made an actual discovery OF gas
in the Miller well some sixteen
years ago. We believe no effort
has ever been made to find gas
in either of the later wells. The
supply OF gas made useful in
Pierre for heat apd light i9iound

Shall We Progress ?

A recent item in the Press
about putting in a sewer system
occasioned some interest at the
time, and perhaps it may be well
for the citizens to bear itin mind
as spring opens up. AS then
stated the waste water from the
well must be severed to the creek
to be got md of. This would be
an expense with no beneftexcept
an outlet for the waste water.
Now, as before suggested, why
not run that sewer through main
street, and ger al the benefits
possible for the we'll drainage,
the town drainage, anil q sewer
system for all the buildings on
main street, and make this waste
water useful? Ii would require
a better sewer, and be somewhat
more expense, but the benefits
are not TO lie compared.
The distance from the we'll is
about the same either way. AS
Miller grows, requires better
buildings, with Easements, eel
lars, etc, system OF sewage
will be absolutely essential. 1t
would remove mud holes from
the street, do away with stag
nant pools on lots, make the
town cleantr: healthier, and
make property more valuable.
Every lot n sewer passes could
readily pay tie expense OF the
sewer in added value.

Perhaps there are other property

a sewer. Also of the uselessness
