pie was that he was good fellow and
popular business man. Mr.. Butler
showed that at the term on which Mr..
Washburn was committed he at first
plead mot guilty" and five days later
retracted and plead guilty Mr..
Butler was here, not to keep Wash
burn in Jail, but for the sake of the law
itself. 1t had been for years the sheriff
who lodged the law on the plea that
the county attorney would not prose-
cute, and so on, up the official list. But
now the law had been enforced, and it
seemed hardly the part of the Honor
able Governor and Council to nulify it.
Washburn sold liquor, consciously, with
his eyes open and knew what he was
doing in breaking the law. There was
not 600 people in Somerset county who
knew enough about the case to get up
and sign the petition. Their signatures
were due to the efforts of Washburn's
friends and counsel, who had repre-
sented only one side of the case. AS a
matter of fact, under the law, the
court had had no discretion as to the
sentence, and it seemed herdly right
for the Governor and Council to nulify
the State laws.
a number of questions We're asked
Mr.. Butler as to what would be the
moral effect in that section of the State
of conditional pardon for Washburn
Mr.. Butler thought that it would tend
to nOn-enforcement of the law. Mr..
Butler was asked what sort of effect
Washburnss Imprisonment had pro-
duced in the county, and what Wash
burns social standing was. He replied
that Washburn was a man of much
prominence and good repute, that his
was the first instance of such a mans
being imprisoned, and that it had pro-
duced a marked effect, which pardon
would destroy.
Mr.. Gould now made plea for par
don or no action. His client had beer
punished enough, he said, land if 20.

Senator Goodwin was called upon t.
tell what he knew of the old entry or
the docket and the previous indictment
He stated that there were 10 indicted
at the same term with two indictment
each, that the same entry was madf
for each, but had said nothing t.
Washburn about it, although Wash
burn was in the court room and should
have known of it. He did not know
whether Washburn did know or not
but would accept unquestionably hi
statement about the matter. Mr.. Good
win thought the punishment and mora
effect would not be impaired by a par
don.
Mr.. Butler now took the floor agai,
and brought out a point that was
clincher. The sheriff had tried to in
duce Washburn to stop selling ans
Washburn had not only openly defiet
him but stated that he would fight tho
law to the extent of his ability.
Mr.. Gould said Washburn had deniet

That Was Resented by the
Veterans at Marietta.
A Young Woman Had to Haul
Down a Rebel Flag
She Had Flung to the Breeze Dur
ing the G. A. r. EnCdmpment.

While the G. A. r. boys were en-
joyiug their reunion at Marietta,
last week, a young lady who has
since had the doubtful honor of hav-
ing her picture published in the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, hung out a large
rebel flag above a small American
flag.
Some of the veterans, caught sight
of it, and without waiting for orders
from headquarters, they marched
into the house and informed the
smart young woman, that if she
would haul down that rebel flag, she
would save trouble. She Indignantly
refused. The soldiers Whose spokes-
IN an was a man named Stamats, from
Union county, a Democrat,l told her
the flag would be taken down. and
she would save trouble by taking it
down herself. On second thought,
she concluded she would, and down
it came.
Her act may not have been in
tended as such, but It was an insult
to the soldiers at that time, and an
act of very poor judgment at any
time.
The Enquirer, by trying to make a
heroine of her, simply shows its old
time rebel sympathies.

The entertainment given in Educa-

folks in Miss Hamilton's and Miss
Parker's grades was splendid for lit
tie tots.
Emma Louise Hill, while not
a member of those grades had much
to do with the entertainment.
Her piano solos and accompani-
ments added much to the pleasure of
the evening. Little Louise Allen and
Elizabeth Cowman were younger
performers on the same instrument.
AS Louise took her seat she was
presented with a large bunch of pink
carnations by her seven-year-old
neighbor friend, Master Melville
Herskovits. Melville earned several
punches, by his mastery way of
handling the violin. He gave two
solos, without his notes, and was as
self possessed as If he were many
years older. The lullaby songs by
the girls and the Indian song by a
crowd of boys. en- costume, and the
May pole dance were among the
pleasing features of the evening.

few days ago, we were surprised to
see a robin fly into the mill and feed
its Young, in a nest on beam above
the saw, not ten feet from it, while
the saw was buzzing through a log at
a lively rate, and three men were
working about it. The bird seemed
to be afraid of neither noise, saw
nor men, and the little ones were
only anxious to spread their mouths

livered with earnestness and force,
but the Judges thought the Trojan
more easy and graceful, and
counted this more than thought or
composition. Johnston could not
help feeling proud of the backing he
had from Bellefontaine. Some 200
young men and women went down and
kept things lively from the start to
finish. Occupying the centre of the
hall, they kept a rattling volley of
calls and yells. that made things

much in evidence, and there
