Grocer Quits
John Mesarvey Buys Interest of
j. w. Desch in Store.

A change in the ownership of one of
Celina's most popular grocery firms
will occur the first of next week, when
the firm of Desch 65 Laudahn will be
changed to Laudahn 81 Mesarvey,
John Mesarvey having purchased the
half interest of ]. w. Desch in the
store.
Mr.. Mesarvey, the new member of
the firm, has been clerk in the store
for the past eleven years and is one of
the most popular and accommodating
grocerymen in the city. He knows all
the ifs and ands of the business and
will no doubt make as huge a success
of the venture as his predecessor. The
Desch 81 Laudahn store is one of the
best located groceries in the city and
has been doing a thriving business,
and there is no reason to doubt but
what the new firm of Laudahn & Me-
sarvey will continue along the same
line with uninterrupted success.
Mr.. Desch has been in the grocery
business for many years and his friends
will regret to hear of his dropping out
of the business. He has also been in
terested for several years in the ce-
ment, crushed stone, gravel, lime and
tile business, and this has increased to
such proportions that it now needs all
of his attention. He will have an office
at his storage room.

ease. Following the first complaint
by the children, the family physician
was summoned, and the parents were
loathe to believe the doctors diagnosis
of the case.
After being convinced that there was
no question about the nature of the
disease impaired to their children, the
parents became almost frantic with
rage and forced the older of the chill
dren to divulge the horrible and shock
ing depravity that caused their condi-
tion, which last Monday led to the ar
rest of Brush and Rhodes on charge
of criminal assault.
They were given a hearing before
Squire George Leininger at Chatta-
nooga, plead not guilty and we're re-
leased on bond, which was fixed at
81 800 in the former case and $500 in
the latter.
The details of the despoiling of the
little ones, as developed from the story
recited by the eldest child, are almost
beyond belief, and it is not strange
that it has made the father raving
maniac.
The revolving affair has been kept
well under cover, but since the details
have leaked out there is much COM
meht on the insignificance of the bonds
under which the alleged offenders
have been placed. The authorities
should leave no stone unturned to
clear up the case and see that proper
punishment is meted out to the perpe-
traitors of the foul crimes committed
upon these little ones.

A Good Position

Can be had by ambitious young men
and ladies in the field of wireless" or
railway telegraphy. Since the S-hour
law became effective, and since the
wireless companies are establishing
stations throughout the country, there
is great shortage of telegraphers. Po-
sltions pay beginners from $40 to 500
per month, with good chance of ad-
vancement. The National Telegraph
Institute operates six official institutes
in America, under supervision of r. r.
and Wireless officials and places all
graduates into positions. 1t will pay
you to write them for full details at
Cincinnati, o., or Philadelphia, Pa.

GAS ORDINANCE
AGAIN GOES OVER
For Future Action, Cause Of De-

the Naked Eye.
Council Orders /. II. Raudabaugh
Walk Work Sold, Just AS If
He Was Ordinary Clay.

Council met in regular session last
Tuesday evening with all members
present and Mayor Kenney presiding
A number Of visitors were present, but
no complaints were lodged.
Reports Of the various city depart
ments and officers for the past month
were read and approved.
Agent Dunn, Of the Lake Erie and
Western, spoke to council In regard to
putting In a crushed stone crossing
over their tracks on South Main street,
instead Of the present plank crossing.
Permission granted.
A communication was read from !.
H. Raudabangh, stating his refusal to
build a walk along the north side Of
his property on West Anthony street.
The sidewalk committee reported on
the condition of the walk, and the
Clerk was instructed to proceed with
selling the work of building the walk.
The Clerk read a resolution changing
the amount of the Main street assess
ment on the Il. r. Jones and Miller
heirs property on South Main street.
Matter was laid over until next meet
ing of the dads.
The gas ordinance was brought out
for further disposition, but its third
reading was again tabled until the
next meeting. The ordinance is the
same in all respects with the one now
in force, and just why the renewal Of
the franchise is being hung up is not
known to the common fry.
When the new ordinance was first
read it was stated that it called for a
three cent per cubic foot raise in the
price, but this is not true, as the old
ordinance, passed in July, 1905, for
period of five years, fixed the price at
33 cents, the same as is now being
asked for. Council may have valid
reason for its action, but they have not
made their constituents wise on the

The only error made by the locals
was an excusable one by that hard
hitting left fielder Myers. He went
after long fly from J. Swart's bat in
the third inning and just as he reached
for the ball he hit one of those measly
little maple sapplings which the Park
managers have planted in the left and
center fields. This one, however, will
cause no further trouble.
The Myers brothers were the feature
artists in Sundays game, They lead
in the hitting and scored a run apiece.
Both stole second and third.

The Democratic Gang in Nebras.
ka Turned Bryan Down.
T Emporia (Kan.) J Gazette ]

In the West the Democratic party is
more aristocratic than the Republican
party For instance in Nebraska the
Democratic State convention voted
against accepting the vote of the peo-
pie on United States Senator as pro-
vided by law. The same day and in
the same State, the Republican State
voted to abide by the choice
of the people in the matter of electing
a United States Senator, and to elect a
Democrat if the people chose him, even
though the legislature was Republican.
This attitude of the Democrats indi-
Gates that the Big Interests, having
failed to control the insurgent States
through the Republican party, are
moving into the Democratic party.
