Man Shot Undesirable
Prospective SOn-in-LdW

Marysville, Ohio, July 22.-Orange
Heath, farmer living in the south
ern part of this county, was arrested
this morning, charged with shooting
to kill Henry Lowe. 1t is claimed
that the cause of the shooting was
the result of Heath's objections to his
daughter, Myrtle, allowing Lowe to
call on her. Last night Lowe called
and took Miss Heath out riding, and
this so angered the father that he
awaited their return with revolver.
Lowe and his sweetheart drove up to
the house about midnight, and Heath
crept up behind the buggy and shot
through the curtain, the bullet tax
ing effect in the back of loves head.
Lowe now lies in a precarious con-
dition, and Heath will be held to
await the results of the injuries

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN
General Summary For The Week
Ending Monday. July 20 1908.

Cool weather prevailed during the
week, the temperature remaining
below normal during the entire period.
Light scattered showers occurred on
the 18th and 18th and heavy rain fell
in the north portion of the State dur
ing the night of the 18th. Scattered
showers occurred on the 18th and 10th.
There was a marked excess of pre-
cipitation in the north, but droughty
conditions are beginning to be felt in
the south.
The figures following the Corn aud
Wheat Region stations show the
amount of precipitation in inches and
hundredths for the week ending at
a. m. July Goth: Bellefontaine, 9. %;

The high winds accompanying the
storm on the night of the 18th and
morning of the 18th blew down corn
and lodged oats badly in the north.
Farm work progressed satisfactor-
lily generally. Wheat is almost all
cut and much has been put in barns
or stacked: threshing in progress; in
some southern counties it is nearly
completed. The yield is generally
less than expected, but the quality
averages generally good. Corn has
grown slowly; the early planted is
in fair condition-some has been
laid by, but the late planted Is
small generally and many fields have
received insufficient cultivation and
are weedy. Oats are ripening: some
rust is reported in scattered dlocalities;
cutting has commenced in the south.
Barley is not a heavy crop. Rye is
fair. Haying has progressed salts
factorily; the crop is generally good
much better than expected-and so
far has been ensecured in good condition.

On the WinQ.

A few items from this neck of the
woods may be of some interest to the
good old REPUBLICAN.
The genial and obliging general
agent of the Daisy Manufacturing
Company OF Ashley, Ind, is in this
part of the county. Mr.. Thomas has
won a reputation for himself in the
way of hustling salesman. So much
so that not less than four firms want
to employ him at a large salary. He
tells me he expects to travel, start
ing on the road the first of October,
by the year. We are glad to hear of
Mr.. Thomas success and feel proud
of his ability as business man. He
is also one of the best horsemen, and
his driving horse shows for itself
wherever seen. Mr.. Thomas spent
Sunday at the pleasant home of his
nephew, Albert Thomas, near Mingo.
w. C. Thomas threshed his crop of
wheat Tuesday, one piece making 2t
bushels to the acre. The crop av-
eraged % bushels to the acre of most
excellent quality. OF course he made
use of the best fertilizer.
Mr.. George Wynn threshed IL acres
that made $50 bushels. This is the
best we have heard of. The field was
plowed last July and sowed the 22d
and 23d of September, and treated to
200 pounds of fertilizer.
When it comes to a wheat crop, old
Monroe can show up with the other
townships in Logan. A CITIZEN.

SALES OF WOOL
ARE ENORMOUS.
New Clip Is Fast Disappear
ing From the West and
Top Prices Prevail.

Boston, Mass. July 2l.-Many wool
en- manufacturers, fearing a situa-
tion somewhat similar to that which
has cofronted the cotton mill men
have come into the market of late
for large supplies of raw material.
Sales have been enormous, almost
reaching the unusual total of 10000,
900 lbs. last week. The market Is
gradually strengthening in tone, with
prices steadily tending upward on al
grades. The only weak point in the
situation Is the reluctance of manu-
facturers to advance the price Of
goods.
The new clip is fast disappearing
from the West. In the territorial
section there is little that is de
sirable left except in Montana. In
that state large sales are being made
every day and the latest advices say
that the tendency of prices is up
ward. The top price of the season
was reached with l7lc paid for a wei
known clip by Boston house, which
price was exactly ic higher thar
paid for the same clip year ago

WHENEVER trusts and labor unions
violate the laws of the country, or
set themselves up as superior to the
Government, they should be called
down. Within the law, when they do
not set themselves up to oppress, or
To deprive others of their rights or
means of a livelihood, they are le-
gitimate. The danger is, on the one
hand that greed and power will lead
to monopoly and oppression; and that
on the other power may be assumed
to trample on the rights of others to
secure the good of the unions. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has a case OF this
kind to settle at the present time. A
wear ago he invoked the power of the
Government to compel a settlement
of the great coal strike in the inter
ests of the people, and succeeded, to
the great satisfaction of the miners.
lust now he has used his power to
protect non-union employees from be-
ing Disseminated against in the Gov
ernment offices at Washington. The
local typographical union at Wash
ington demanded the removal OF
non-union employe in the Govern
ment book binding department, and
the head of the bureau dismissed the
non-union man. This man appealed
: to the President, and the latter or
dered his reinstatement, taking the
ground that under the laws and civil
service rules, an employe could not
be dismissed without cause, and that
not being a member of union was
not recognized by the laws or the
Government as a cause for removal.
To have taken any other position
would have been to admit that the
unions were greater than the govern
ment, and that none but members
of labor unions (who are but a
small proportion of the peoplel are
entitled to hold Office. In this Gov
ernment of the people, for any or
ganization to set itself up as qualified
tomake rules that are above the laws
of the Government, savors of usurpa-
patton and an attempt to defeat the
will of the people as expressed by
Congress and it's laws. Therefore,
the President could take no other
position. The unions now claim that
the man who was dismissed was un-
worthy the position and ought to be
dismissed for cause, and the Presi-
dent tells them there is way point
ed out by the law to secure this. The
President is clsar-headed as usual.
He offers no objections to unions; he
fought their battles in the coal
strike, but he will let no organization,
whatever, infringe on the rights of
the Government.
