The way San Francisco millionaires
and corporation chiefs are offering
financial aid to Mayor Schmitz in an
effort to help him clear his skirts of
any faint of graft, is tending in no
small measure to convince people
many Of whom had confidence in him
before that, after all, there is some
thing in the charges brought against
him.

Some Speculation is being INDUCED in
as to the probable appointees of Mayor

OF city marshal, a city clerk, city
attorney, police Judge and few minor
officers. We are not in the confidence
OF the mayor-elect, but we feel reason.
ably certain tn ht we can make pretty
close guess as ito the most of them.

Two or three times in as many
weeks, farmers have complained to
the police of Logan, that their
horse and buggy had been taken
from hitching yards on Saturday
nights, and after diligent search
the rigs were always found down
in Green Township four or five
miles from Logan, hitched to a
fence or tied to tree. The po-
lice bad their suspicious who the
offender was, but not until Satur-
day night were they successful in
apprehending the rascal.
A special officer was detailed to
shadow one Arley Guess, suspic-
ioned of being the trickster. The
officer missed his man and Mr.,
Homer Martin, his rig, at about
the same time, and were giving
chase, when Mr.. Harden, the
draymap, reported the rig going
toward Haydenville with young
Guess as the driver. Near Pat
tonvile the horse was turned loose
and went to its owners home, while

GOES "WET"
By a Majority of 81. Re-
suit in Eaton.

After a prolonged and intensely
energetic contest, Eaton, the coun-
ty-seat of Preble county, remains
wet. 1t has voted to retain its
fourteen saloons by a majority of
81 in total vote of 047 votes.
Two precincts were carried by the
vets and two by the drys. The
temperance people made "a magni-
ficent fight, but the saloon was too
strongly intrenched in the town to
be overthrown at the first onset.
Eaton will probably repeat the
history of several other county
seats which have remained wet in
the first Beal law election by a
narrow margin and at the next
effort two years afterward have
expelled the saloons. The tenn
perance people made gallant
fight and deserved to succeed !;
but we have no doubt the good
seed sown during these days and
weeks of effort is not wholly lost,
but will spring up and bear har-
vest hereafter.

MYSTERIOUSLY MISSING.
Horses Have Been Mysteriously Driven Away From
Logan, With No Clue to the Offenders.

Guess took across the country to
his home. I3
Marshal Allen accompanied by
Deputy Marshals, Weis and Bish-
op, went to the home of Guess
about midnight and pumped q
confession out of him, and re-
manded him to Jail, Monday
morning at 9 o'clock, Guess was
brought before Mayor DolIison
and charged with unlawfully un-
hitching and taking away mare,
the property of Homer Martin.
The defendant appeared by Attor-
ney Whitcraft and was bound over
to the grandjury in the sum of
$500, which bond was not given,
and the defendant was taken by
to Jail. 1t is the belief that Guess
is the person that took all the
other missing horses, and the peo-
ple usually hitching their horses
in the hitching yards in Logan,
feel relieved that he is safely be-
hind bars and will be dealt with
in the Common Pleas Court.

Plants and tho Moon.

Camille Flammarion has been
making experiments in Paris to see
whether the moon exerts any inhu-
ence upon the growth Of plants, ac-
cording to the legend. He made
different sets of paintings at dates
which corresponded to the different
phases of the moon, using peas,
beets, carrots, potatoes, beans and
many other vegetables Of the ordi-
nary kinds. Jke results were ex-
tremely variable, and no fixed rule
seemed to govern them. The plants
appeared at periods which had no
connection with the moons phases.

An Int.resting papsrweioht.

An interesting paperweight has
just been given 10 Epworth uniyersi-
ty at Oklahoma City. 1t is section
of the brass pump rod Of the steam
ship Sirius, the first steamer to cross
the Atlantic. The trip was made in
1888, and the vessel left Cork on
April and arrived in New York on
April 22. The ship was lost on the
English coast in june, 1S47, and
was salyaged in 1896, fifty-one years
later. The metal work of the vessel
was purchased by the Masons, a
firm of Birmingham (England) ship
suppliers, where the pump rod was
cut into sections and the souvenirs
made. The paperweight is about
half an inch thick and four inches
in diameter. 1t looks as bright as
if it had never seen the bottom Of
the sea. tg
