LOOMING ATTRACTIONS
GRAND OPERA HOUSE

SANDY Bottom" the beautiful pas
ttoral production of Arkansas village
life seems to have struck a popular
chord. Its success this, its fourth,
season has been most pronounced
and is not difficult to- understand.
The play teens with quips of human
nature and one is brought very close
to humanity without its civilizing
thrills. without its passion subdued
by dissemination, with all its faults
and with some few of the vices. The
sentiments are pure, clean and
wholesome, with a constant remind
err of boyhood and girlhood days
which, at times, brings Just a sus
picion of moisture to the eye.
@Sandv Bottom'' will be at attrac-
ton at the Grand Opera House Sat
urday, Oct. IS, matinee and night.
Matinee. 10, and 90; night, 10, 70
80 and so cents.

There are few plays that will bear
repetition. To meet with favor on
the second and third presentation o
play must possess unqnestloned
charm and merit out of the ordinary.

place, in American literature, that
is thoroughly unique and fascinat-
ing, although not familiar to most
of us. Brook Farm, with it's nu-
cleus of transcend n a 8 IN,
frightened and hallowed by the
influence of Hawthorne, Alcott
and Emerson, and the inspiration
of a Margaret Fuller, is an epi-
sode of our literary history that
is fraught with pathetic interest
that attaches to few things. Mr..
Martzolff is always in thorough
sympathy with his subject, and
finds good listeners, His lecture,
Wednesday evening at the U. B.
Church, on "The Afterglow on
Judaism" showed great erudition
and depth of research, and was
enjoyed by a good audience.

puted next week, and complete

ance will be published.

Martin SearIs
Kills Isaac OiIer.

Sunday afternoon, at Consol,
near Blatchford, Martin Searls in
jured Chris OIler 60 seriously that
the latter died few hours later.
Oilers children, on their return
from Sunday School, became in
vJlved in quarrel with Sesrl's
children, and the latter finally
bombarded their opponents with
rocks. Oiler came to the rescue,
and was met by Searls, who pick
ed up two large cinders, with one
of which he struck Oiler behind
the ear, telling him to the ground.
Searls is a religious crank, be-
longing to that sweet smelling sect
called "Latter-Day Saints" 1t
will be recalled that he had a
fight some years ago with the
Farms brothers, at Consol, as re-
suit of which the Farms boys were
sent to the penitentiary and Searls
was committed to an insane asy-
lum.
Oiler died Sunday evening. He
was a natiye of Falls Township,
lived formerly on the Hartmann
farm near Logan, and has rela-
tives here. He leaves a wife and
several children,

Reunion.
l. Y. HART-EL.

The ex-soldiers of Marion Twp.

ly by A. r. McBroom, Edwin D.
Ricketts,, Squire John L. Younker
of Maxville and Rev. Bagwell,
pastor of the church. Squire
Younker acted as master of cere-
monies. The Flagdale bound,
reinforced by part of the Brem-
en- band, was in attendance, and
furnished good music. The pic
mic dinner, of which everyone par
took freely, was one worthy of the
good hospitality and cookery for
which Marion Twp. is famous.
The following Logan people were
among h present: Geo,
Shaw and wife, Oliver Lemon,
Geo. Risley, Mrs. o. w. H.
Wright, Col. S. Weldy, Miss Lu,

be of interest to your many read
ers / will try and tell them of our
trip, we left Logan Aug. 10th. at Z
o'clock by special train for Convoy
arriving there at 2 o'clock with
out any mishap and were met by
the Convoy Band, "a members
composing the Band this is only
about one year since it was organ
lied but certainly they are doing
fine and will no doubt make one of
the finest Bands in North Western
Ohio.
The entertainment at Convoy
was certainly all that could be ex-
pected every one seemed to be on
the Committe of entertainments and
every one was taken care of in
fine style. The meeting was one tf
the largest ever held in this part
of the country, the crowd being
estimated at between 5 and 9
thousand people. The weather was
beautiful and the meeting was
held in beautiful grove of 80
acres in which there was over 1900
buggies and carriages besides all
those who came from a distance,
old Hooking bringing nearly $50
of her sons and daughters to meet
those who had come here years
ago and built themselves up homes.
We can not attempt to enumerate
our old friends that we have met
since we came here, some we had
not met for over 80 years. This has
certainly been a joyful meeting
the speaking was good and also
the music. This is a fine country.
Corn is good also oats, wheat not
so good crop this season; is not
wheat country. The next reunion
will be in Hooking CO. let us all
try and make the last one the
best. ! am stopping at the present
with Henry Nunemaker who left
Hooking 32 years ago and settled
here in the woods with out any
being cleared; built a Log Cabin
and went to work. Where the cabin
stood is fine mansion of house,
3 large barns, one for hay and the
other for grain besides stacks of
grain; buildings all painted, farm
tiled, every thing in shape. This is
only one. All seem to be prosper
ing and happy, land is worth from
80 to 500 per. acre. We will go
from here to Newark to the Bap-
tist Association to be held with
Friendship Church near Newark,
Aug. 23, "a and 25 then we will be
back to old Hooking to our own
friends believing that the trip
will be profitable to us. Will close
with best wishes to all.

GObbler's ROOst.

The good word has come at last
from the camp of the Gobbler's
Roost; their long silence was be-
gining to produce the impression
that some huge cetacean Of Rae
coon creek had gobled them, sure
enough. Letters received this
week at the DEMOCRAT office and
by other friends give full parti-
culars of the expidition.
Gobblers Roost is at the junct-
ion of Big and Little Raccocn,
near Vinton. The campers are
Ike Martin, Cob Herzog, Harry
Wood Coxey Martin, Joe Shorr,
Claude Lyon, Frank Martin, and
B. Thurness. They located there
on Saturday. Aug. 12, and from all
reports have been leading a siren.
nous, albeit simple life since.
The latest bullitin from the
camp states the total catch of fish
so far is IS pounds, and turtles
so pounds, total of smaller speci-
Minis. The star capture was a
turtle, of the following dimensions
weight, 81 lbs. height 8 #. 2 in;
Is inches between the eyes; 4 it.
13 in. across back; tail Al in. long
and 81 in. in circumference
length 8 TT. 23 in; wears No. 18
shoe has 3 ton grip and slaught-
er house smell. A patriarch of
the catfish tribe, 16 #. long and
Oft. wide with a maximum speed
81 knots was caught with a bait
consisting of fat pug dog.
Specimen mosquitoes, with lower
d. fiat voices and 18 in. bills, are
safely Gagged for presentation ~

Messrs. James Martin and Merl
Burberry, "both of Ohio" visited
the Roost last Sunday. Our cor
respondent there also sends in q
few personal notices, thus: q
Cob Herzog and Harry Wood
are frequently observed going over
the hill to Vinton, to look at the
girls.
Doc. Lyons does most of our
dry-goods purchasing. Doc.
knows where the winners most do
congregate.
Frank Martin is all smiles. 1t
is a-fish.
Joe Shorr and Master Bernard
Thurness were badly frightened
the other day, in vinton, by COM
ing unexpectedly upon a bar of
soap.
Ike Martin left for home, Mon
day, on account of an attack of
the gOut.
Jas. Martin evidently cares lit
} tie for his store clothes when there
is a catfish in sight.
The camp was sorely dismayed
a few days ago, by finding that
the supply of Peruna had petered
out. CONSERVATION and dire dis
| tress reigned until new supply
was hastily procured from Colum-
. bus.
We are all coming back to Ohio,

Hooking
Society
Reunion

The Third Annual Reunion of
the Hooking Society was held IN
Halls Grove, Convoy, Van Vert
County, Ohio, August II, 1904.
The special train carrying in
all 346 persons, left Logan at Z 80
a. m, arriving at Convoy about
100 p. M, without change of
cars. The Accommodations were
ample, and the service most oblig-
ing and complete.
The visitors were received at
the Town Hall by President j. r.
Shotwell and Secretary d. b.
Black, who is also Mayor of Con-
voy; and the committee soon had
a place assigned to every one, all
being entertained free of charge
for the remainder of the day and
night. All the visitors speak in
highest praise of the excellent ac-
commodations and open hearted
kindness of the people of Convoy
and surrounding country.
The picnic day, Aug. II, was
an ideal one. The grove, which
contains sixty acres, was cool and
quiet. The program was opened
with an invocation by Rev. E. H.
Bennett Of Grover Hill, Ohio.
Mayor Black delivered the ad-
dress of welcome, and Judge F. p.
Martin responded in behalf of the
visitors. The opening address
was then made by President Shot
well of Scott, Ohio, and was fol-
lowed by dinner in the grove.
Judge S. H. Bright of Logan,
the principal speaker of the oc-
casion, led the program in the af.
ternoon. He was followed by
Hon. w. H. Shook of Paulding,
Ohio, and o. w. Kerns of Van
Vert. Judge Wright was on the
program, but was unavoidably alb.
sent. The ceremonies closed with
the singing of 'God BE With Yor
Till We Meet Again, and bene
diction by Rev. L, c. Hart o.
Scott, Ohio. a.laIit5E
Music for the day was furnish
ed by the Convoy Band of twenty
six, pieces, and was excellent.

~ bhit hOh ohhuoi
er's Institute of Hooking County
opened in the High School Build
ing here, Monday morning at 8 80,
with devotional exercises.
The subject of Arithmetic, un-
der the direction of Mr.. w. S.
Stone, one of the most experienced
and best teachers of the county,
was the first thing to engross the
attention of the large assembly.
The attendance ut the opening
session was certainly very gratify-
ing, and almost unprecedented.
Mr.. Stone produced small COM
|pilation of arithmetical puzzlers,
exemplifying admirably the prin-
ciples of his topic. Messrs. Harsh,
Filing, Stevens, Wharton and Huls
took prominent part in the dis
cussion.
After an intermission of five
minutes, Prof. Merriman occupied
the attention of the teachers with
short talk on ''Lukewarm Teach
ers.'' He stated that it was his
custom to use this address on the
opening days of institutes, when
there are usually twenty-five OF
thirty present, and then to repeat
it later in the week, after the ma
jority had arrived; and admitted
very agreeably that he was de.
lighted to find such a large audi.
ence at the beginning.
Prof. Merriman's fret admoni.
tion to his listeners was "Be CT
Time" and he enforced the advice
with sundry anecdotes and facts
He told the story of party OF
teachers who, going to Chicago
agreed that they should SO com
port themselves as to lead no ont
to suspect their vocation; aftel
they left the train, and as they
were going up town, an urchin OF
the opposite side of the stree
called out "Hey, Johnnie; frs
class in geography please stanc
up" The story was calculated II
show the professional individual
| ity that clings to all classes, ant
especially to school teachers. Mr.
Merriman then told how he had
when boy, become disguste'
with farm life and resolved to g
to college; how he had worked ou
road taxes at discount for me-
lie knew, and taught school fo
$1.25 per day until he had save
up $500; how he boarded, for ST..
rs week, mile from his college
and made the trip twice daily, an
three times on "literary day;
and how he did get through, fina
lily. He is now very prominen ii
connected with the public schools
of Cleveland, and is an ornamer
to his profession. His parting &C
vice on this occasion was to "us
time" Allowing eight hours
day for school work, eight fl
sleep, four for recreation and for
remain for reading, study an

Supt. Martzolff gave a fascina
ing talk on history. He recon
mended the abolition of the o.
and erroneous definition of histol
as merely the "record of pa
events," and proposed as a subst
tute truer meaning--"the recol

of men," 1t is the impelling
thoughts of man, the thoughts
that cause them to do things,
which make history; and until we
get away from the old idea that
history is merely bold array of
dates and events, and see the un-
derlying human thoughts and as-
pirations that produced the up-
heavels of the past, we are in no
sense students, or even lovers, of
history; which, properly under
stood, is the philosophy of human
nature, and by far the noblest of
all studies.
Mr.. Martzolff also took up the
first period of the afternoon ses-
sion, with an interesting discus
sion of George Eliot's great novel,
"Silas Warner" He character
lied the mass of modern fiction as
shallow and mercenary, and not to
be compared with the literature
produced by the really great writ
ers OF English. In speaking of
the ruling passion" that governs
men, he enlogized Henry Van
Dykes late book of that name,
and gave it splendid recommenda-
tion. The story of Silas Warner,
the "weaver of Raveloe," as told
by Mr.. Martzoltf, was an induce
ment to those who have not already
made the acquaintance of this
gifted author, to do so without
further delay.
The other numbers of the day
consisted of addresses by Messrs.
Merriman and Martzolf on "Sea
sons" !" and "Study of Poems as ar
Aid to Correct English respec

der the direction of Miss Martha

tion of the teachers.

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-What happens
when an irresistible force Is exerted
on an immovable body?
This old conundrum was answered
yesterday afternoon when Jerry, trick
mule, refused to cross a runway into
the Hippodrome building.
For almost an hour Jerry edited n
crowd of several hundred persons. With
feet barred against the curb he defied
two score stablemen, three policemen
and dozen other men.
Albert Crandall, Jerry's owner, led
the mule to the Hippodrome early in
the afternoon. He had no difficulty
until Jerry caught sight of the runway
leading into the subterranean vaults of
the building. Then the mule balked.
A rope was put around the mules
neck and several men tried to pull him
over the curb. 1t was no use. Chorus
girls going to rehearsal tried to coax
Jerry into the building by feeding him
candy. Of no avail. A blanket was
bundled around the obstinate Great
ure's head and he was turned round
and round, but when an endeavor was
made to lead Jerry over the runway he
set his feet against the curb.
Pete" Barlow and bill" Powers,
elephant trainers, appeared at this crit
ical moment. Barlow declared he knew
how to move Jerry. Followed by Pow
ers he disappeared into the Hippo
drome. When the two came forth they
were leading Tom, the big elephant.
Jerry realized that 1t was all up with
him, but he determined to make hard
fight to uphold his pride. After trying
to drive Jerry into the building by
smashing him over the back with his
trunk, Tom got behind and tried to
push the mule forward. There was a
bombardment of heels that drove even
the elephant off.
Jerry was then put in harness and
a hawser connected with big Tom.
Jerry was dragged on all fours into
the building.

GLOVES THROWN IN STREET
After Hours Of Vigorous Price Cutting
Merchants Dump Many Cases
on Thorouohfare
Special to The Herald.


Special to The Herald.
BUTTE, Mont, Dec 16.--Traffc was
temporarily suspended and q squad OF
police reserves called out to prevent n
riot this afternoon when NJ. j. Connell
and the Hennessy department store
began dumping cases of gloves into
the street after several hours Of vigor-
GUS price cutting.
Several women were trampled upon
in the wild scramble, but no one was
seriously injured.
The experience cost the merchants
involved more than $1,000 and It Is esti-
mated that more than 1000 working
men were supplied with gloves.
"Workingmen's buckskn gloves 10
cents per pair"
This announcement was displayed in
the front Of the Hennessy store shortly
nfter 2 o'clock, when the streets were
crowded with shoppers. A moment
later the rival merchant announced:
zone pair for cents"
Ten minutes later ten husky Conne1l
statesmen carried five cases Of gloves
into the middle of the street between
the two establishments and invited the
spectators to help themselves and a
stampede followed. The police by Wig
orous work prevented serious injury TO
any Of the participants.
