The night watchman at the Zeig
foundry seems to have had his share
of trouble the past week or so. The
|
some job and this man wanting some
thing alive around, has been keeping
a couple of dogs which most of the
time he has kept locked up. But oc-
casionally they get loose and the
neighbors' chickens come up missing
and children become frightened and
the life of the watchman made miser-
able by complaints of citizens of that
part of town. So he has finally prom
ised that hereafter he will dispense
with their company.

Some of the citizens of this place
are excited over the fact that some
forty quarts of nitro-glycerine was
stored in local barn here Monday
night. There was enough of the stuff
to completely demolish the entire
town if an accident had happened to
set it off. Most towns require drivers of
wagons carrying the explosive to keep
out of the corporate limits and Fred
ericktown passed an ordinance in 1896
attaching a fine of one thousand dol.
lars to any one found guilty of bring
ing nitro-glycerine into the town. For
some reason or other of late this law
has not been enforced and wagon
loads of the stuff are hauled through
our business streets and stored in
barns over night Few people realize
what great danger there is in handling
the stuff and the drivers of the wa

fident, so that eventually they wind
: up with blow up and no funeral ser.
vices needed. We are informed that
this wagon load came through from
Marietta where the factory is located
: and was intended for shooting oil
: wells north of town. That it got out
: of town safely this time is no guaran
tee that it will always do so and the
officials should see that the law is
enforced to its limit.
Monday evening was the time SET
: for meeting of the Commercial club
and all other business men at the
council chamber to start the ball a

Coming" on Labor Day. AS usual the
attendance was small and the initial
work left to a few. Even at that the
meeting was profitable to those pres
