What consolation it must be when
the last hour comes, to have your
friends around you to encourage you
with their sympathy, to sOoth your
pain and suffering, and best of all tc
know that they will think kindly Of
you when you are gone.
How beautifully Moore expresses
it in the lines:
go where glory waits thee,
But while fame elates thee,
Oh! Still remember me.
When the praises thou meetest
To thine ear is sweetest.
Oh! Then remember me.

Agreement Tuesday
-Four Men Refuse to JON the Move.
ment--Agreement Becomes
Effective at Once.

BY the terms of an agreement en-
tered into today, all of the retail meat
market and grocery stores, with but
four exceptions, will remain closed
during the entire day on Sunday
throughout the remainder of the year.
The present movement is rather a
new departure for the meat dealers
especially as for many years in the
past it had been the custom to re-
main open on Sunday morning and
to make deliveries at that time. A
great number Of persons in the city
do not have ice during the summer,
and 1t has always been advisable to
remain open on Sundays to supply
that portion Of the population.
The butchers have decided, how
ever, that they, in justice to them
selves and their employees who are
compelled to work long hours during
the week. should be privileged to have
Sundays to themselves. The reason
that the grocers are included in the
agreement Is thatea number of the
meat shops are operated in connection
with grocery stores.
The agreement will become effective
at once. ~

Under Direction of Trustee
\. James Bastable
It Now Looks as II the Marion Man.
ufacturilg Co. Would Pay
Creditors Dollar for Dollar.

There is now a strong probability
that the Marion Manufacturing COM
pany will be able to pay Its creditors
dollar for dollar. This fact became
known at meeting of the creditors
held in the common pleas court room,
Monday afternoon, with Robert e.
Carey, of Upper Sandusky, referee in
bankruptcy.
AS a result, nothing but the best
of feeling and general satisfaction
prevails among those who hold
claims against the company. All
repose the utmost confidence In the
trustee, jones Bastable, who Is now
conducting the business, and will
continue 1t until next fall. when It is
likely that final disposition will be
made Of the bankruptcy proceed
ings.
Although at the time the company
went into bankruptcy the announce
ment was made that the assets far
exceeded the liabilities, 1t was not
thought that the assets could be con-
verted into sufficient cash to meet
all of the claims. Now that the
business is progressing in such an en-
cOuraging manner, however, 1t seems
likely that enough money will be Sc
cured to pay every cent of the liza
bilities.
AT the meeting, Monday, Trustee
Bastable was granted permission to
dispose Of $4,000 worth of machinery
which the company now has on hand
In Iowa. He was also given author
ity to discount notes amounting to
about 100000 and to obtain loans to
the amount Of $25,000. These loans

Court happenings

Thursday will be divorce day in
the court of common pleas. Judge
Young, at the request of DeGolley
& DeGolley, attorneys for parties
in four proceedings, has set down
all of these suits for hearing Thurs
day. The case of Catherine Ingle
against Matthias lngle will be re-
sumed and the remainder of the
testimony heard. The hearing of
this case started several weeks ago,
but owing to the fact that an i'm
portant witness for the defendant
could not be present, the matter
was continued.
Other cases to be heard are that
OF Blanche Tate against George
Tate, Martha o. Graft against
Henry Graft, and Maggie Scranton
against George Scranton.
The Ingle case is the only one of
the four that is contested.

PERCY JANIS

MESSAGE FROM LONDON
Gives Statement From Pas.
sengers on the Ship
1t is Thought Former Marionite Be-
cams Despondent Over Number
Of Recent Stage Failures.

According to Scripps-McRae
cablegram from London to the Mir
ror today, Percy Janis, formerly
Percy Beerbower, OF this city, com
mitted suicide on the Atlantic
Transport Liner, Minneapolis.
As was stated in the Mirror sew
eral days ago young Janis who
adopted that name when his sister
became famous, was lost overheard
during the "trip. 1t was generally
thought that he had fallen over
board.
According to the passengers on
the ship Janis shot himself while
hanging over the side of the ship
and his body fell into the sea.
Friends of the deceased young
man in this city state that he was
very despondent over a number of
recent stage failures and they be-
lieve that his mind became derang-
ed while on shipboard.
The cablegram in part follows:
London, April %. Small doubt
remains that Percy Janis, the ac-
tor and brother of Elsie Janis, the
Columbus actress, who disappeared
from the Atlantic transport liner,
Minneapolis, committed suicide.
Stories told by passengers on the
steamer indicate that Janis shot
himself while hanging over the
ships side and fell into the sea.

HEROIC EFFORTS
OF TUE FIREMEN
Saves Salmon Residen ce
From Total Destruction
Nsighbors Lend Hand In Taking
Furniture From Building
Loss $1,000

Fire, OF mysterious origin, was
discovered yesterday afternoon about
5 o'clock, in the upper part of the
property owned by George Salmon,
at the corner of Mt. Vernon and
Baker streets, and before the flames
were extinguished, the entire front
and upper part of the residence were
destroyed. The damage will amount
to about $1,000.
The smoke and fire in the cupalo
were discovered by neighbors, and an
alarm was sent in to the Central. de-
partment. When the department
reached the scene. the flames had
gained considerable headway, and
only very efficient work saved the
residence from complete destruction.
Believing that the building was
doomed, men, women and children of
the neighborhood braved fire and
water to save the furnishings of the
house from destruction. The resi-
dence is occupied by Mr.. and Mrs.
George Salmon and DR.. and Mrs.
Frank Granstaff.
The fire was hard one to fight, as
the house 10 an old structure, and
burned like so much paper. 1t re-
quired an hour of the hardest kind of
work before the flames were finally
extinguished. The damage to the
lower part of the house was princi-
pally caused by water and smoke.
The spacious lawn surrounding the
residence was covered with furniture
that had been carried out.
Great crowds returning from the
circus were attracted to the fire, and
remained until 1t was put out. II
required a small band of workers
several hours to carry the household
goods back into that part of the resi-
dence that remained intact.
1t Is supposed that the fire was
started by some timers who were
at work on the house earlier in the
day or that 1t was due to spontarls
eous combustion inrthe cupalo. 4

cts one Of the worst days I've
seen for the man in the cab" de-
clared Big Four engineer this
morning when his train pulled into
the depot nearly an hour late. The
tine rain which formed a dense
fog obscured the track for any dis
tance ahead and although running
behind time the engineer dared hot
let out his engine for fear Of a
catastrophe. A number Of trains
were late today on account OF the
dense fog and binding rain.

ICE PLANT
ENLARGES
To Take Care Of Increasing Business
Big Sum to be Spent for
improvements

The Chickaaha Crystal Ice Co., is
preparing for the season Of 1907 by
putting in an immense amount Of
new machinery and making other inn
prOvements and enlarging the plant.
Manager Brown said yesterday that
the season this year was about two
months ahead of what it usually was
and as the number Of consumers had
increased the plant had to be en-
larged to take care Of the constantly
growing business. Orders have been
received already this season from 9TH
er towns in this territory and the
plant here has not been able to fill
orders until additional machinery is
rut in.
New modern machinery used in the
manufacture Of ice is being installed
costing about $4,000 and other i'm
provements being made which will
mean an expenditure of $4,000 more,
a total Of over $1,000 in improvements.
When these are done the plant hero
will be second to none in the country
and will be in a position to take care
Of all the business both local and eth
erwise.
