Teachers viii Have Maps.

The Logan Observer says
Through the kindness Of C. H.
Deur, OF Missouri Valley, lum-
Der dealer, the school teachers
of this county will all have a
map of the county, which will
furnish them with a handy and
correct reference work and will
greatly facilitate their work.
The map gives all of the schools
in Harrison County, showing
their exact location, and in adj
dition to being a good map for
this reason all the important
cities, railroads, rivers, ETC., are
given. 1t is said to be one of
the best maps Of the county
thus far issued.
Mr.. Deur provided County
Superintendent Brainard with
enough maps to supply every
teacher in the county and Mr..
Brainard is mailing them to the
school teachers this week. The
idea is of course advertising the
lumber business of Mr.. Deur,
but is a valuable reference work
and will doubtless prove as val
liable to the teacher as the adj
vertising will to Mr.. Deur."

THE BORER,s WORK.

II you have an apple tree in the or
chard which is overloaded with small
sized fruit and with foliage of an un'
healthy color dig around the base OF
the trunk. and nine times out Of ten
you will find that the borers have
ruined the tree. If healthy looking
tree is snapped off close to the ground
during the wind of a summer storm
you will also find that the borer has
been at work. 1t is very common to
lay the cause Of death Of our apple
trees to sun scald. blight. extreme cold
and cuss the climate when there is
nothing the matter save the miserable
borer. How to know he is there and
how to get rid OF him, just get down
on all fours, put on your specs and
scrape little Of the earth from the
base of the trunk Of the tree. The dis
colored bark and the sawdust eject
ments will locate the beast; then out
with a sharp knife and dig him out
Better half girdle the tree than leave
him there. for he will kill the tree be,
fore his three year term of existence

Treason Treason Treason |!

The election of j. W. Dryer, the
only Democratic candidate who came
anywhere near winning in the county,
was made possible by the peanut poll
tics predominating i'll the late Repub-
lican convention. They were willing
to sacrifice the party for little per-
sonal spite. and if they have not lost
every sense of the fitness of things
they are now metaphoricalIy groveling
in sackcloth and ashes.
Mr.. Dryer has again proved his
strength with the people. He is cap
able and worthy, as has been demon
strated bv his previous term on the
board, and will undoubtedly render
satisfactory service; but he owes his
success to the folly of the Republi-
cans. and they ought to remember it
if he does not. West Union Gazette.

THE ANNUAL WORRY,

There are always every fall about
thirty days Of fret and worry all along
the northern limit of the corn belt for
fear the frost will come before the
crop natures. Much Of this worriment
might be avoided IL corn growers In
that territory would not everlastingly
insist upon growing types Of corn suit
ed only TO more southern latitude.
They some way cannot or will not un-
derstand that forty bushels Of good
sound corn OF some early variety are
worth much more than fifty bushels
Of soft, immature southern corn. For
all Of the territory north of latitude AZ
the big ten foot dent corn should be
banished and six foot hundred da,
variety planted. A failure to recognize
this fact costs millions of money near.

HOLD BANK OFFICIALS.
President Beckwith and Cashier Spear
of OberIin Arrested.

A new and sensational turn has been
given the Chadwick case with the arrest
of President G, G. Beckwith and Cashier
Spear of the Citizens National Bank of
Oberlin, Ohio. They are charged with
violating the federal banking laws. The
bank loaned Mrs. Chadwick $240, 900,
while its capital is only 100000. Such
loan therefore is said to be in defiance
of the federal banking laws. The fail
ure of the bank threatens a loss Of $475,-
200 to the depositors.
The citizens of Oberlin place most OF
the blame upon President Beckwith. The
feeling against him is bitter in spite of
his advanced age and his illness. 1t is
rumored, a dispatch says. that Beckwith
did not actually loan Mrs. Chadwick
100000 from his private fortune, as he
has claimed, but that he loaned her
S240,00O Of the banks funds and in addi-
ton took her note for 100000 payable
to himself personally. This note for
$102, 900, it is rumored, represented the
bonus Mrs. Chadwick paid in order TO
secure the $4,000 In this connection
it is recalled that Mrs Chadwick's law
yers asserted Newton, the Brookline,
Mass, banker, was to receive a bonus of
S65, 900 for the loan of $4,000, which
has caused the suit.
Beckwith, it is reported, loaned the
S240, 900 of the Citizens National Bank
funds to Mrs. Chadwick without the
knowledge Of any of the banks directors
He has asserted all along that he had
unquestioned security. 1t has been IN
derstood that the security consisted Of
two notes, one for $4,000 aud the Other
for 5000. 900, both sigied by Andrew Car
negie. Attorney Aioaugh of Canton d.
clares that the signature by Andrew Ca:-
nesie on the notes is genuine and two
directors Of Canton banks aver they have
seen the notes in question. Beckw.th
has declared that the two notes, said to
be signed by Carnegie, are locked up in
a safety deposit vault.
