Rosevilie Goes Dry.

The result of the local option cleo
tion at Roseville Tuesday was vic
tory for the "drys" by the very close
margin of votes. The vote stood:
Wet, 1854; dry, 1877. The contest, as
the result will show, was very close
one, both sides working hard alkday.
Roseville has been"wet" for two
years and Tuesdays election will
mean corresponding period of a
dry SPELL" and her four saloons
will have 30 days in which to get
ready to go out of business. During
the two years of Roseville's "damp-
ness'' Crooksville was dry and many
from the latter town were wont to
go to Roseville to sleke their terrible
thirst. Now the conditions are ex-
actly reversed and Crooksville will
soon have her troubles also.

Successful Entertainment by Pupils
of e. Alma Hall.
New straitsville Record


The piano-forte recital by the
pupils of Miss Alma Hall, which
was held in the Opera House here
Thursday night, July IA, proved
to be rare musical treat for
those who attended, though the
entertainment did not receive
the liberal patronage it deserved.
Miss Hall is capable teacher OF
music who has been engaged in
that work here for the past five
years, and that her teaching has
been successful is shown by the
admirable skill of her pupils in
their appearance before the pub
lie.
Miss Hall was ably assisted by
Misses Ruth Brooke and Jenna
Hall, and Mr.. Fred Warner whose
Sup in the Cocoa-nut Tree" with
chorus of girls in tambourine ac-
compartment, was the hit of the
evening.

Down With 1t.
Murray City News

"There is a move on foot in this
township to elect factional COM
mitteemen for the control of the
Republican party in this county.
We think it high time that factions
were ignored, and the government
of the party placed in the hands of
the people to whom it rightfully
belongs. Political bosses may be
alright in large fields but to place
an UEsCRUPULoUs MAN over affairs
in this county that Re may say
who shall and who shall not be, is
more than the people will stand
for. We earnestly hope that VINO
ever the man may be who runs for
committeeman in this precinct, let
lis see to it that ne is free from
factions. The present control of
the Republican committee of this
county Is NOT so PURE AS 1T MIGHT
BE. We, however, take no parti-
cular exceptions unless it is, that
the JUST HAVE BEEN TURNED DOWN
FOR THE UNJUST and LABOR OF HOOK
ING COUNTY HAS NOT BEEN TREATED
WITH THE COURTESY DUE 1T. Logan
has no right to dictate to the en-
tire township and if we go on per-
mitting it, the man who should be
favored, will be victimized and
the IDLE soHEMFR will get the
plumbs. We acknowledge that we
once stood close to the Sands fac
tion, but we have this consolation
that labor never had better
friend than Col. A.C. Sands. He
and General GrosvenOr never lost
sight of the fact that labor is first.
Sands especially deserves the
highest commendation for his
earnest endeavor, year or so ago,
to establish labor organization in
Logan. The PRESENT LEADER OF
THE PARTY in this county fought
these efforts and is still fighting
them. We again say, "down with
faction" and let the voters dictate
the policy of the party and say
who shall and who shall not. We
do not belong to any faction just
now nor do we expect to. 1T HAS
PROVEN UNPRoFITABLE TO US, as it
must to every man who declines
TO act as the tool Of an unscrupu-
lous politician. Stand for your
rights, boys, and denounce snake
work."
The committee fight in the Re-
publican party in Hooking county
which is set for Saturday August
13, is bringing out some catch-as-
catch-can epithets, voiced by Col.

THE EXHIBITION CAPACITY
OF the Ohio State Fair, and Complete
ness Of Building and Space Arrange
ment. y
Special Railway Rates, and Accommo'
dntlons Ample and Cheap.

The Ohio State Fair, which this
year opens at Columbus on Mon
day, August 30, to. continue until
the evening of Friday, September
9, has completed exhibition capa-
city and general arrangements,
unequaled by any other State Fair.
All the Exposition buildings are
extensive in capacity, elegant in
design, ample in accommodations
and marvels of completeness.
These buildings are located with
view to ease of access in covering
the rounds of the many depart
ments of the Fair and are in har-
mony with the park effects of the
beautiful grounds upon which they
have been erected.
The exhibition facilities, by rea-
son of which the best of exhibits
are attracted for each of of the
well arranged departments, stamp
the Ohio State Fair as complete
industrial exposition, and there
are none better, or more compre-
hensive and instructive in every
detail, class and division. These
buildings contain total Of more
than 400, 900 square feet of exhi-
bition space.
The exhibits are not all encom-
passed within the exposition build
ings. On open grounds, correctly
plated, Will be found the exhibits
proper to be shown in the open,
and usually found at the large ma
tional exposltions, such as porta-
BILE engines, steam rollers and
crushers, grinders, steam presses.
hay leaders and carriers, hydraulic
apparatus, saw mills, ditchers,
lscrapers and road machinery, fenc-
jlng, etc.
To show this class of exhibits
about ten acres of ground are re.
quired, but the display made is q
great exposition in itself.
In the general makeup of the
Ohio State Fair, the exciting and
amusing features are never neglect
ed, while never of a character that
cannot be approved and enjoyed by
all classes. 1t is recognized that
the people attend the Fair for 9
dual purpose, the benefits to be de-
rived from an inspection of the ex
hibits, and the pleasures afforded
by the features of amusement anG
entertainment. The Forthcoming
Fair will contain no weak places
and none that will not be worthy
the attention of every visitor.
The location of Columbus as {
direct railway center and the low
rates that have been secured ovel
every line during the entire weel
of the Fair together with th'
great facilities of the city for af
Q fording accommodation to strang
, ers within her gates, makes it pos
, sible for the people to attend a
very moderate expense, and will
, certainty of being we'll cared fo
as we'll as highly entertained.

read with interest that the rabbit
drive on lower Butter creek, in

was the largest in the history of

thousand rabbits were killed. The

with such wild rush that they
could not get into the corral fast
enough and they piled up fully two
feet deep, hundreds smothering to
death. Two persons were seriously
