The time is happily passing

"Confed" was so closely drawn /;
but go and have your memories
freshened and your mind benefited

Mr.. Harden was builder and con-
tractor, and was noted for the

Al
Charles Stimmel Was saved fr6in
the electric chair at the Ohio pen
itentiary Thursday by margin
Of only three minutes. Stimmel
was to have died at midnight.
Thursday, however, Gov. Herrick
granted him a thirty days re-
prieve. By some oversight the Of
fetal notice was not sent to peni
tentiary Warden Hearsey.
Late in the evening the condem-
ned mans attorney learned that
preparations for the execution
were going briskly forward and
made an agonized appeal to the
warden for delay. The warden
replied that he knew nothing of
the repreive and that, unless he
heard from the governor, the
execution must take place on
schedule time.
Gov. Herrick was out of the city
Some time was lost in locating
him in Chicago at the Union
League club. At t11:45 Stimmel's
attorney succeeded in reaching
him with telegram.
A message, hastily dictated by
the executive, was instantly dis
patched, announcing to the war
den that the xecution was to be
delayed. 1t was delivered at the
penitentiary at IL: :57, and Stim
mel, who had been waiting in an
agony of uncertainty, was in
formed that his life would be
spared for the time at least.

RUG AND SKIRT FACTORY
Phil Talks Back.

In speaking of the postponement
Of the Democratic Judicial conven-
tion in the old subdivision, the
practical joker in last weeks Tri.
bun worked overtime. T h e
joker says "The Democrats made
inquiry of some of the Republican
lawyers of the district, and found
out where they were at" Wonder
who the Republican lawyers are
that possess such marked superior
knowledge2 Most assuredly it is
not the author of the egotistic
screed referred to; for no Demo
cratic lawyer would have to con-
suit him on a constitutional or any
other proposition of law. Demo
cratic lawyers of Lancaster, Log
an and New Lexington, are the
equals of any in the legal profess
sion. Their services are always in
demand IN the adjudication of
cases, and their opinions on con-
stitutional law are not to be classed
in the same category with some
self conceited individuals, for
Shakespeare we'll says, "eompari-
sons are odious." The Democratic
Judicial convention was postponed
prior to the Republican convention
at Lancaster; therefore, the nom
nations there made could have no
possible bearing on the postpone
ment. The Bar docket of the dis
trict disclose the fact that Demo-
cratic attorneys have good pay
ing clientage, and are not called
upon to give gratuitous legal
opinions for cheap notoriety and
vain glory.-New Lexington Her

Dit OF good sport. The teams lined

stood 9 to In favor Of Logan. The
battery was Stiers and Canty, and
they did good work as did the entire

The law prohibiting drunkards,
epileptics, lunatics etc., from
marrying has gone into effect and
when a fellow applies for marri-
age license now he is questioned
by the probate judge as to whether
either himself or his intended get
drunk, have fits or are "bug

new marriage record with the new
questions printed therein, Judge
Russell has had made rubber
stamp with the following inscrip-
