SAD DEATH OF
MRS. R0UNDSLEY

Mrs Mary Roundsley, of the fourth
ward, departed this life Tuesday un-
der very pathetic circumstances. She
was stricken when in the house alone
and died without egaining conscious
ness
Mrs. Round ley had been ailing for

ever, she had seemed pretty well and
was much encouraged by her condl-
tion. Tuesday morning especially
she seemed in good health and spirits
and called on one OF her neighbors
Tuesday forenoon she was at home
alone. Exactly what occurred will
never be known. When the son and
daughter returned home at noon they
were shocked to find their mother ly.
ing in the sitting room unconscious.
Every effort TO revive the woman
proved futile. The family physician
was summoned, but medical skill was
uuavsiliug The patient fingered IN
conscious until $3.50 O'Clock Tuesday
afternoon, when she peacefully passed
away. The fatal attack was superin-
duced by complication of ills.

SEANAN'S STRANGE
DISAPPEARANCE

From developments it seems alto.
gether probable that our former towns.
man, Edward f. Reynolds, q seaman
on board the Nebraska, has fallen q
victim to some strange fatality. Al
least, the tact is we'll established that
he has most mysteriously dropped out
of sight and knowledge.
Mr.. Reynolds, who was skillful
machinist. it will be recalled, a num-
ber of years ago enlisted in the navy.
At intervals of several years he was in
the habit of revisiting Danville, where
his mother and sister along with
friends of life. time resided. His last
visit occurred during the latter part
of last summer He was then on the
Nebraska and as the reward for con-
tinued service had been promoted to
be petty or subofficer. While in the
navy, MI. Reynolds had been over a
large portion of the globe. That the
life of seaman was oongenial to hbn
and that he contemplated following
the sea still further is attested by the
fact that he had recently re-enlisted
Upon leaving Danville he bade his
friends goodbye with the avowed in
tention of returning to the Nebraska.
He was in the best of spirits and there
was no premonition of i'll. He actual
ly returned to the ship. a friend in
this city receiving a letter written on
shipboard. The letter was of the usual
characteristic sort and contained moth
ing that could be construed into a
hint of pending change.
A few weeks later Burgess Rogers
of this city received u communication
from the commanding officer OF the
Nebraska Informing him that Edward
F. Reynolds had disappeared. His per.
sonal belongings remained on ship
board and these after the usual intery-
al were disposed of according to the
rules that obtain in the navy
Burgess Rogers at once took the
matter mp with the friends OF the
missing man in Danville, who were
amazed at the news, but were unable
to account for the disappearance
Mrs. A. NJ r. Russell, sister Of the
missing man,is in California and Mr-
Reynolds, the mother. is visiting
friends in another part of our State
Nothing has been omitted that might
lead to the discovery of the missing
man, if living, but after the interval
of a month or more not single clue
has been found and the friends here,
in view of all the circumstances, have
reluctantly come to the conclusion
that he has been overtaken by some
fatality. Just what has occurred, how
ever, to bring about his disappearance
is enshrouded in mystery.

CASH TAX OR
WORK TAX SYSTEM

Valley township at the next election
will vote on the question whether the
township shall pay an all-cash road
tax or contribute labor ON tho high.
ways in payment of said tay.
AT present, it appears, that Mahon-
ing township is the only township in
the county that is working under a
cash tax system. The experiment. is
said to be a success. In the other
townships of the county sentiment is
divided on the question, with/the pre-.
ponderance probably in favor of
working out the tax, according to
the custom that has always prevailed
In those townships where the question
was voted, on previously, with the eX-
ception of Nahoning township the cash
tax proposition was defeated The out
cone of the election in Valley town
ship therefore, because of the question
involved viii Ne watched with good
deal of interest Printed on the bot
tom of the ballot will be two lines,
one reading :" For an all-oash road
tax and the other Against an all
cash road tax, "
The man who supports an alI-cash
road tax does not vote away his priv
ilege of working ON the township
highways and in that way of earning
something to balance or reduce his
road tax 1t merely implies that for
the work he does he will receive pay
ment in cash and that he Ia turn will
have to pay the full amount of road
! tax in cash.
| At the annual convention of the road
supervisors held in this city last Feb
ruary the relative merits Of the cash
tax system and the work tax system
were fully discussed Several persons
were pronounced in their view that
/ the cash tax system in few years will
/ prevail, and that the work tax opens
| the way for abuses and is in no small
meas are responsible for the general
condition of the roads. which for many
years past has been the subject of
! criticism.
Whether any of the other township
propose to vote on the suhject of tax
alton is not known at present.

father in another part of town.
The three brothers were Immediate

In the interim before the train left,
the three policemen, accompanied by
Mr. Boyer, went out TO the residence
of W. II. Temple on Nontour row and

found. explained That it was brought
to the house during the night of We'd
nesday, January 22ud,
On one of the men arrested was
found a loaded revolver and a large
bunch of keys comprising very great
variety as to size and form. None of
the men made any denial of having
part i'm the robbery.

had been robbed, accompanied by the
three men arrested, left for Muucy on
