Money III Spent.

One of the ways that country town
business men generally spend a lot
of money with inadequate returns, and
in many cases with no benefit, is in
fake advertising. There are hotel
registers, programs, pictures to be
placed in public places, etc., and
hundreds of other methods designed
principally to separate the business
men from their cash. These schemes
are generally worked by grafters from
out of town. and there is not mer-
chant who has been in business half
a dozen years but has been struck by
dozens of them, and if he has succeed
ed in escaping without being loser
he has played lucky The only good
and safe way to advertise is in the
home paper, and by means recognized
as regular, the use of posters, letters,
ETC., but of all, the local paper is TIE
best medium.

gered Several Lives.

Bryan, O.-Clifford Kline. youth,
who left his home in Buffalo two
weeks ago, was arrested here, charged
with having robbed a candy store in
the Arcade building at Wauseon and
having set fire to the place. He con-
fessed and said he had started the fire
to see some excitement. But for the
timely arrival of post office clerk a
few minutes after the fire was started,
at midnight, Wauseon's finest build
ing would have been badly damaged
by the flames. Kline, who is II years
old. was armed with loaded revolver
and electric searchlight, which he had
purchased in Toledo. A gold watch
and s. he had taken in the candy store
were also found on him. Several peo-
pie were sleeping directly over the
candy store.

FARMERS PROTECTED
BY the Drake Bill Against Spurious
Fertilizers.

Columbus, O.-With the unanimous
vote of those present the senate went
on record as being opposed to the fur
ther manufacture and sale of the spu-
rious fertilizer that has been finding
its way to the innumerable farms in
Ohio in the last half-dozen years by
passing the bill by Senator John G.
Drake, of Erie. In doing this the body
of the general assembly indOrses the
action of the state board of agrieul-
ture in running to earth all such con-
Germs as have been fooling the farm
ers by their bunko products. The bill
fixes standard for fertilizer, and COM
peTs each manufacturer to place upon
the receptacle the contents as they
are chemically composed. A violation
of the standard provides a heavy fine
and a prison sentence.

LADY, WIl9e,s Ready Wit

If the political women Of to-day had
the humor, say, of the late Lady
Wilde, their cause would not be SO
hopeless. She was very indignant
about the world-old tyranny of men
over women, and said many bitter
things. But one could forgive much
to a woman who, in dwelling upon
the fact that the alleged masculine
tyranny began with Adam, described
our first parent crisply and comically
as a "dictatorial Antediluvian! !"-Ex
change.

to try for turkeys. doc" had been
taking lessons from an artist in tur-
key-caNing, and by means of scraping
a small cedar box on the barrels of
his gun, after having previously rub
bed a quantity of common chalk on
the barrels. he had managed to learn
a cali that sounded quite natural to
the uninitiated. even If it didn't fool
the turkeys.
But doc" had run across a tur-
key by&ccident in the brush, the bird
having been scared up by the dogs
while running deer, and when it flew
right into doc" he bowled it over

So in about half an hour the camp
was deserted by all save the cook,
who roamed about among the tents
and ieisurely made his arrangements
for getting supper.
1t took us about two hours to start
a deer. and when we did, we reused
out two of them. The dogs trailed
one to the cypress swamps and lost
him there, but the other one we
turned and drove back towards the
ridges and through the cane, and
old Emory Waite got shot at him
from behind blue gum stump and
killed him clean with a single bullet.
BY the time we got him dressed and
a horse out to bring him into camp
through the awful going, it was long
past noon. BY the time we reached
camp it was two o'clock, and
we laid around and planned wild
cat hunt with the dogs the next day
for the sake of a little variety.
Along about fiveawhen it was get
ting dark rapidly, we saw doc" Sim

for camp. He didn't have any gun

fectiy serene about it. He came up

CONDEMNS GRADE CROSSINGS.
Railroad Commission Reports On To
Iedo Acknowledgements Legislation.

Columbus, O.-The state railroad
commission filed with the governor its
report of the investigation of the grade
crossing accident in Toledo February
Is, when eight persons were killed by
locomotive striking a trolley car.
The commission does not attempt TO
fix the blame for the accident, but
urges as the only adequate remedy for
such accidents the elimination OF
grade crossings and suggests that in
asmuch as the chief obstacle is the ex-
pense that in future legislation the
state should be required to bear part
of the cost
Other remedial laws are suggested,
among them being one to require
metal troughs charged with electricity
to be placed over trolley wires at
crossings with steam roads so that IL
the trolley is thrown off the wire the
car will not stop.
