legislator who was instrumental in
changing the fall term of circuit
court for Portage county from No

depended upon the farmers here

jurors were excused that they might
return to their potato fields. O.her
jurors were drawn to replace them.

DIsoeEYs DOCTORS ORDERS.
Effort of Physician to Have the Pont
if Rest is unavaiIinq.

VT REST is OnaNdtiin9s
Rome, Italy, Oct. 7.-Dr. Pettachl
is convinced that the pope's illness
will continue internationally unless a
thorough cure is effected by complete
rest, but his efforts to enforce his
opinion have thus far been unavail-
ing. Even in the present case, when
the symptoms of govt were unmis-
taxable, the pontiff, in spite of the
pain in one of his feet, insisted on
leaving his bed and consented TO
suspend the giving of audiences only
on condition that the bishops and
prelates should be admitted to his
bedroom. Contrary to his Doctors or
ders he walks with the aid of stick
and drives in the gardens.
The pope holds that pontiff ought
to die in the harness and his fai h in
medicine is small OF late. owing &c
the practical impOssibility of writing
his own letters, he purchased Chi
cago-made typewriter and is learning
it's use with the enthusiasm of a
schoolboy.

nett cup, was formerly a pupil of Pro
fessor G. C. Comstock, astronomer at
the Washburn obs ,rvatory. Twenty
four years ago. Professor Comstock
relates, that he went to Columbus,

from the farm and ambitious to be-
come an electrical engineer. HE

learned to know and to like the young
man very much. | have followed his
career since those days. On leaving
college, Mr.. Mix entered the service of
one of the electrical corporations and,
in the course of year or two, he
was sent over to Paris to set up some
machinery for the company. He was
expected to remain only few weeks,
but it has proven to be his permanent
home"
Professor Comstock told of meeting
Mr.. Mix in Paris about five years ago,
when he learned that his former pupil
had become the chief engineer of the
largest French manufacturing com
pany of electrical apparatus, and that
he was also interested in a wide
range of affairs outside of his profes-
sional duties, art, photography, travel
and aeronautics
Mr.. Mix was in the balloon race
from st. Louis two years ago and,
sailing in a French balloon, had the
remarkable experience of being car

central Ohio upon which he was born.
According to current reports, he is
victorious in the lategt long distance
balloon contest.
Although permanently resident o.
