SHELBY
Man Thought He Had LeprOsy,
But 1t Was MOIaSSeS

George May, the lfveryman, who
has been indisposed for day or two
is feeling much better. Mr.. May
thought he had bad case of leprosy
or some other terrible disease. The
case Is now under control and the
physicians have evry hope for him.
Mr.. May has been taking his daily
feed at the Elite Restaurant. He has
been accustomed to walking into the
kitchen for hot water for washing
purposes. A day or two ago he re-
peated this stunt and instead of get
ting hot water he dipped out basin
full of hot sugar molasses which
was on the stove.
The molasses was made from
white sugar and was very thin. Mr..
May washed his face and hands and
also wet his hair thoroughly with
the solution. Everything went we'll
until about three or four hours lat
er He was sitting in his Office at
his livery barn when his skin seem
ed to be getting hard and stiff. He
felt over his face and ears and "by
heck" he said to one Of his men,
I'm turning to marble" The 9TH
er fellow took look at him and
run his hand over his face. He was
convinced that May had something.
Without waiting any longer George
stuck check book in his pocket
and started for the doctors office.
After waiting his turn for an hour
he was finally ushered into the doc
tors private Office where almost ex-
hausted from fright he sank into a
chair and said nothing. When he
physician spoke to him his face was
so stiff that he was unable to open
his mouth. He pointed to his face
and the doctor got busy. After
looking him over for twenty min
utes the physician took a wet towel
and washed off one cheek. George
felt his jaws loosening up and soon
he was able to talk In due course
of time the mistake he had made
dawned upon him and he is little
nervous yet from the shock, but will
fully recover.-Shelby Globe.

Chell Monday

One Of Mt. Vernon's regulars"
became intoxicated Sunday evening
and decided to make amends for his
condition by going Co church. He

about six O'Clock in the evening and
badly frightened the Janitress who

church. He sat down in a seat and
prepared to await the beginning of
the service. An officer, however,
soon was on the scene and the man
was taken into custody and locked
up. He entered a plea of guilty to

HOUSE
Of John Spence Destroyed
By Flames
At An Early Hour Sunday
Morning
The Home Was Located In
South Vernon

Fire completely destroyed the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Spence in South
Vernon early Sunday morning. On
Saturday afternoon, Mr.. and Mrs.
Spence left home and went to Fred
ericktown to visit over Sunday with
relatives and to their knowledge, left
nothing near any fire which was left
burning in the house. Late Saturday
night, Mr.. Joseph Ramsey, who re-
sides in South Vernon, was going
home and detected something which
resembled the odor of burning cloth
or rubbage, but only supposed that
someone had been burning some
trash. The fire had not yet burned
out but it is probable that the smoke
was caused by smouldering fire in
the Spence house. At about three
o'clock Sunday morning, DR.. II. W.
Blair received call which made 1t
necessary for him to drive along the
Columbus road and he discovered
'h'' oppNiA GU W NC a DldAS III O1t vi
the upstairs rooms of the house. He
Immediately aroused some neighbors
and window was forced up and a
door broken open but the fire, which
had heretofore been smouldering,
broke forth through the window and
door with sucn fury that entrance in
to the house was impossible and moth
ing could be done to save anything.
The building was entirely destroyed
while the spectators stood helpless. It
is thought that the fire originated
somewhere in the upstairs as that
is where it was first seen to be burn
ing, but the cause is a mystery. The
loss was partially covered by insur-
ance.

WILHELM
To Pitch For Canton The
Coming Season
Started To Play Professional
Ball With Mt. Vernon

Lefty, Wilhelm. who went to
Newark of the Eastern League at
the close of the season of 1907, has
signed with Canton. Joe McGin-
nifty, old Giant twirler, agreed to let
him return to his old manager, Fred
Drumm.
Wilhelm, who Is counted upon to
be Canton's best southpaw, is a resi-
dent of that city. His father is
turnkey at the city prison. The ath-
lete is 25 years old, and married.
II am glad to be with Canton this
season. l do not fear that the fans
will be derisive to players who claim
Canton as their home" said Will
helm.
Wilhelm started his professional
career in 1905 at Mt. Vernon, o. He
was assigned as catcher. Before
the season started the team played
an exhibition game with Cincinnati
Manager Goodrich did noe have an
available pitcher, as the arms of
"Heinie" Berger and Lefty" Boyle
were sore.
LET me pitch" said wilhelm. He
did, and held the Reds to four runs
and eight hits. Mt. Vernons sole
run was batted in by Bert Biery,
signed to play first base for Canton
this season.
After the game Goodrich told Will
helm to GUST the big nit, and since
then he has been working in the
center of the diamond. His next
effort was against GAINESVILLE. Mt.
Vernon won to O.
In 1906, Wilhelm joined Zanes-
Vile, then managed by Drumm. He
started the 1907 season under
Drumm at Marion, was sold in July
to East Liverpool and then to New
ark, N. j. He played with Newark
in 1908 and 1909.
Last year he finished the season
with an independant team in Mary
land along with Eddie Pleiss, Dick
Nallin and other star minor
leaguers.

BLAZE
Occurs At Home Of Charles
Bishop At CGRtGrburg

The home Of Mr. Charles Bishop of
Centerburg came near being destroy.
ed by fire early Monday morning.
About six o'clock Mr.. Bishop was
aroused from his sleep by peculiar
roaring sound which on investigation,
proved to be the chimney burning out.
The excessive heat made by the burn
ing chimney had set fire to the roof
and shingles in the immediate vicini-
ty and had the blaze not been discov.
cred just when it was, it is probable
that destructive fire would have
occurred. The Centerburg fire depart
ment was called on the scene but its
services were unnecessary as the
flames were extinguished before the
arrival of the wagon.

DISCRIMINATION CHARGED

Cincinnati, o., March Especial Ex-
aminer Charles Gerry Of the Inter
state Commerce commission began a
hearing here today in the case OF the
Jackson Iron and Steel Company, the
Star Furnace Company and the Globe
Iron Company, all of Jackson, and the
Wellston Steel and Iron Company of
Wellston, against the Norfolk & West
ern and other railroads. The COM
plant is that the rate on coke from
the Pocahontas district to Wellston
and Jackson is excessive, operating in
favor of Ironton and Columbus, to the
undue disadvantage of the pig iron
manufacturers of Jackson and Well
ston. The demand OF the complain
ants is for the establishment of a
reasonable maximum rate, with the de-
termination on damages for the dis
elimination already inflicted.

THREsHERMEN WANT
HIGHER PAY

Wichita, Kas., March 7-One of the
most important subjects to be consid.
cred by the annual convention of the
Operating Threshers which opened
here today for four days session,
will be the question of rates. On ac-
count of the existing high price OF
grain and labor, the threshermen con.
tend that they do not receive enough
pay for their work and the use OF
their machinery. An effort will be
made at the convention to reach an
agreement to advance the price Of
threshing in the coming season. It
is understood that the manufacturers,
who in former years have always dis
couraged such a movement are now
willing to support it. Several thous-
and threshers from Missouri, Kansas.
Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado and Me-
braska are in attendance.

STATUARY HALL.
(Life.)

lIlle.J
statuary Hall in the Capitol
at Washington is not worth very
much disturbance of the peace. IH
rows become too common over the
effigies that the states are to place
there it will be better TO disband the
marble and metal company that now
peoples that sanctuary and give il
up. The general sentiment of the
country is safe enough as to the
privilege of selection proper to be
accorded to any state, but there is
no protection against agitating talk,
nor against the adultaration of the
quality of the company gathered IN
the hall by an incursion of compar-
atively ordinary people.
The last acquisition to the Sttatu-
ary Hall collection is George L.
Shoup, of Idaho. This father of
the republic seems 20 have been a
good, honest man, but he has been
dead less than ten years, and his
fame has not yet matured enough
to have emerged from the boundar-
les of Idaho.
The collection is in danger of be-
coming humorous. 1t is impossible
to protect it from mediocrity either
in sculpture or subject. 1t is also
impossible to protect the marble deli
egate from any state from public
disparagement by disappearing crit
les.
Westminster Abbey Is run by
its dean, who says who shall and
who shall not be admitted to 1t.
That duty might be executed for
Statuary Hall by the Sergeant-at-
Arms of the House of Representa-
tives. If 1t Is, his pay should be
raised $1,000 year, and his widow
should be entitled to a pension
whenever he is killed in The dis.
charge of his duty.

Total to date

Total to date .$17,075
The Bridge Works retention fund
has reached SHOTS.
Saturday was a better day for sub
scriptions than had been expected,
the amount subscribed that day being
$1,740.
The total, as reached Saturday, Is
sure indication that the necessary
100000 will be raised, but the COM
mittee will not ease up on its efforts.
The work will not be concluded un-
til the full amount is subscribed, and
the hope is that it will be reached be-
fore Thursday night.
Monday morning the committee
again started out on their work, and
with the same determination and with
more enthusiasm than at an time be-
fore, and with full latin that their eff
forts will be crowned with success.
Machnists Subscribe
Saturday night Local Union No. 80,
international Association of Machin-

onstration of the keen interest taken
by organizations of workingmen in

Bridge Works Employees Subscribe
A subscription taken up among the
employees of the Bridge Works, out
side of the Office force, Saturday night
reached total of $4O5. This amount
may be increased some, as all of the
old employees have not yet been seen
in regard to the matter.
Benefit Performance
Manager Hartman has arranged to
give four benefit performances at the
Cooper theatre for the Bridge Works
retention fund. The performances
will be given Tuesday and Wednes-
day evenings-two eacn evening, and
it is expected that a neat sum will be
derived from this source. The action
on the part of Lessee Kerner and
Manager Hartman is exceedingly lib
eral. For these benefit performances
the general admission will be Is
cents, with 10 cents extra for reserv-
ed seats. The Cooper theatre should
be packed to the doors at these four
benefit performances.
A Correction
The statement in Saturdays Banner
that $50 had been subscribed by the
woodworkers at the c., A. & G. shops
was not altogether correct. That was
the way it was reported in at head
quarters, but the subscription was not
confined entirely to the woodworkers,
