Items OF Interest from the oberlln
Z Business College

The demand for graduates of this
school seems to be greater than ever
this spring. ]. F. Kutscher, district
school teacher at Sugar Creek, O., en-
tered the Oberlin Business College
April Is, 1909 for the year course.
He already has position in Marion,
Ohio, paying him $50 per month, se-
cured for him by the college. He
will be earning $100 month in few
years.
A telegram was received Monday
for teacher of shorthand, bookkeep-
ing and typewriting at New Richmond
N. D., salary $40 per month.
Archie Taylor of Vermilion, Ohio,
left school last week to accept a po-
sition at the Lorain Steel Plant.
Fl. d. McClelland, who left school
to accept a position as teacher in the
Butler School at New Haven, Conn,
has been employed for another year
at salary of $1,000 per year. He has
been out of school less than four
months.
G.. w. Yost completed the business
course the last of March. He is now
keeping books in the Commercial
Bank of Fostoria. These are but a
few of the many o. b. c. students who
have left school to accept positions
within the past month.
]. d. Yocom, secretary Of the col
lege was in Cleveland last Friday as
sitting two of the students in securing
positions. No school in the country
does more by the way of assisting its
graduates in finding positions and II
is not surprising that students want
ing good positions go to Oberlin for
their business training.
This is an excellent time of the year
for new students to enter. The col
lege is making a special offer to teach
ers and high school graduates who en-
ter before June 1. Full information
will be sent to any of our readers in
terested.

RGtlreS As an Engineer On
The {. & c. Railroad
With A Record That Is Most
Remarkable
Never Had A Wreck And
Never Killed A Person

Two million miles of travel on the
G., A. G G. railroad - eighty times
around the earth-is the record made
by an old Pennsylvania engineer who
retired from active service and was
transferred to the pension list April
|, says the Columbus Dispatch.
The veteran is John Rinehart of 80
East Lincoln street, who is 6S years
of age, has been in the service OF the
c., A. C G. for forty-nine years, has
never been responsible for wreck,
has never injured man, woman no.
child with his trains, and has never
cost the company penny in property
damage through any neglect on his
part or failure to obey orders.
Mr.. Rinehart has never run on any
road other than the c., A. G. c., and
insofar as he knows there are now liv-
ing only two men who were in the
service of that company when he went
to work for it forty-nine years ago. p
Mr.. Rinehart started with the c., A..
& G. as machinist at Akron. He
worked there for three years, then was
transferred to the road as a fireman.
He was a fireman for only two weeks
when he was made an enineer, and
continued at the throttle from that
time until his retirement-forty-s
years.
He has been twice married. to his
present wife forty-hve years ago. He
has two sons, James W., an engineer
ON the c., A. G. c., and Charles, an
engineer on the T. & o. C.
Mr.. Rinehart is the youngest old
man in Columbus. He is full of vigor
and energy despite his 6S years, read
his train orders without glasses, has
never spent day in bed on account
of illness, and Is said to have the wild
est railroad acquaintance Of any en-
gineer in the state of Ohio. He is too
young to quit work, but what he will
do he has not decided, as by the pen.

barred from entering railroad services.

BAT TIE
Between "WetS" And "DryS'
In BryaD'S Town

Lincoln, Neb., April 11--Before to.
morl ow morning the people of Lincoln,
the largest city in Nebraska under
prohibition, will know whether their
city is to continue dry" or return to
The wet" column. Today's election
on the saloon question follows the
hercest municipal campaign ever con.
Quoted in Nebraska. For weeks the
contest has been bitterly waged on
Doth sides. Nightly rallies have been
held at which prohibition and anti
prohibition speakers of national repu-
tation have been heard.
Lincoln has been without saloons
for the past year and the prohibition
law has been rigidly enforced. 1t is
argued that If prohibition is turned
down at today's election and the sa-
looms installed again, prohibition will
be considered failure ana there will
be little or no chance for the antl.sa-
loon State campaign to be successful
On the other hand, If prohibition In
Lincoln is continued, especially by
an increased vote, the state voters will
look upon the test as a success and
the State will probably go dry" at
the next election.
1t is generally conceded that the
saloon question will be the chief issue
Of the approaching State campaign.
The Democrats are more or less split
over the issue. Governor Shellen-
berger is with the ;.nti-saloon people,
and Mayor James Dahlman of Oma-
ha, who is to be Governor Shallenber-
gers opponent in the primaries, is for

ger in the primaries. Mr.. Bryan does
not favor Statewide prohibition, but
has declared for county option. He
dislikes the saloons because, aside
from his strict temperance practices,
which are well known, he believes that
the brewery and saloon element
supported Taft in Ohio, Indiana, New
York and Nebraska at the last elec.
ton, and, on the other hand, sup.
ported the Democratic candidates for
governor in these States.
The local campaign has not been a
party contest, as neither Republicans
nor Democrats, have, officially, In
dorsed either side. The canvass was
conducted strictly along the lines of
whisky or no whisky" with no dis
turbing side issues and has been
cleancut between prohibitionists and
the liberal element, and each side con
cedes that as Lincoln goes today, so
will Nebraska go next fall.
