MISSING RECORDS HANDICAP
Mention of State Printing Deals Mys-
terlousIy Absent from Books,
Say Probers.

Columbus, O.-Investigation of new
leads in the printing department
graft is handicapped by the mys-
terious disappearance of records.
The trail, discovered recently, led
into the Office of the Queen City
Paper Co. of Cincinnati. When Rep
resentative Riddle and Examiner
Brown of the Beatty committee asked
in Cincinnati previously to see the rec
ords of transactions with the state
they could not be found in the Office
of the Queen City Paper Co. The files
were complete except for books which
included the dates of invoices on file
in the state auditors Office.
The transactions involve the pay
ment of more than $4,000 on five bills
certified to the auditor of state by
Mark Slater as supervisor of printing.
These bills were put through in
three of the four years from 1902 to
1905 inclusive. The first in 1902 was
for $2,001. These bills were on the
stationery of the Queen City Paper
Co.
Like the brelesford and Dinsmore
transactions, cash was secured on
some of the warrants as soon as they
were issued. This circumstance
aroused the suspicion which started
the investigation into new fields. The
warrants we're indorsed by Charles
Whealen, as agent of the Queen City
Paper Co. Some warrants were han
died through Dayton banks. This has
led to the identification of Mr..
Whealen as a prominent and wealthy
Dayton business man of excellent rep
utation. For many years he was prom
inent in the management of what later
became the Dayton plant of the Amer
lean Strawboard Co.

TOWNSHIP CASH $4,000 SHY
eplorable State of Affairs In Cuya-
hoga Reported by State Ex-
aminer Fowler.

Columbus, GA deplorable state
of affairs in the school and town
ship accounts of Cuyahoga coun-
ty is revealed by the report of State
Examiner j. G. Fowler, just made pub
ltc by the state accounting bureau. It
seems to have been the custom for
the treasurer to put public funds in
banks that were destined to fail, and
this has occasioned considerable finan-
cial loss to the taxpayers. In several
cases the people have voted to relieve
the treasurer from liability for such
losses. In addition to putting funds
drawn much money for services con-
trary to law. They do such things
as putting telephones in their resi-
dences and charge the bill to the
township or district. Including the
losses from bank failures the total ir-
regularities foot up beyond 100000.
One official, Yarley Stanik, treas.
urer Of Royalton township, was found
to be nearly $1,000 short in his ac-
counts. The members of the Cleve-
land school district board drew some
thing like $4,000 all told for services
and expenses which they should pay
back. There were about $500 of H.
legal payments. The losses by bank
failures, which the examiner says
should be refunded because of not
having been excused by the people,
are as follows: William Bumgartner,
treasurer of Brooklyn township, $3,-
553.21; w. T. James, treasurer of Par
ma township, s4,524.26; P. Steiger,
treasurer of Newburg Heights school
district, S2,076.71; j. II. Dremann,
treasurer of South Newburg school dis
trict, $2,S4614; ]. Jerman, treasurer
of independence township, $4,S91.26.

Lorain, o.-The Ministerial asso
citation of this city has sent a
letter to President Taft urging him
to recommend the removal of duty
from meat. The letter reads: Many
laboring men of our country are
forced to abstain from the use of meat
because of the excessive high prices al
which it is sold and thus they are
deprived of that which is necessary
to give them the proper strength for
their labors. In view of this fact, we
earnestly ask that you recommend to
congress the immediate removal oi
tariff on meats"

Strikinq Comet.

If we ask the effect of a comets striking the earth we will readily see that if the head of the comet were com posed of powders collision would have disastrous consequences. A rain of millions of great meteoric stones would. of course. bring catastrophe. If, however. it were merely rain of small particles or dust we might never become conscious of it. for the parti- cles would never reach us. They would be fused into gas through friction with our atmosphere many miles before reaching the surface. If the gases lib- erated by friction were in excessive volume we might suffer discomfort or even disaster Ii is estimated that hundreds of millions of meteoric parti cles strike our atmosphere every day. This would be serious matter if we were not protected by our great she. lering envelope of air. Occasionally a meteoric powder is large enough to .esist the heat generated by this fric lion dild reaches the surface This we .all i; meteorite The now estab blished .onnection between comets and me- reors is matter of great interest," ltalpll B.

A Mite"

The difficulties experienced by our forefathers in trying to reckon money in very small proportions appear in the various values given to mite" in the sixteenth and seventeenth cen- tury books of commercial arithmetic. The original mite" seems to have been a third of Flemish penny, but the use of the word for the widows coin of the New Testament made its regular English meaning half a far thing, and some old people may re. member applying the name to tho short lived nineteenth century coins of that value. In those old arithmetic books unite" stands for various val ues not represented by actual coins, but obviously used in reckoning. A work of 1706 makes it one-twelfth of . penny, two sixteenth century books one-sixth of farthing, and in 1874 Jeake's arithmetic made it as little as one sixty-fourth of penny.-Lon- don Chronicle.

Queer Pronunciation.

There are many names of places in England that puzzle the stranger. Happisburgh, in Norfolk, for instance, ls pronounced Hazeboro, Abergavenny simply drops a syllable and becomes Abervenny, and 1t is alleged that St. Neots sounds more like Shoots than anything else. Cirencester seems to vary from Sister to Sizeter. In Suf- folk Waldringfeld Is "Wunnerful'' and Chelmondiston "Chimston," while in the adjoining county of Norfolk Hun stanton is "Hunston." and in the west country Badgeworthy is "Badgery" and Cornwood "Kernood." Hunting. donshire claims the purest English, but they call Papworth "Parpor." And not far away is another village of beauty. The motorist turned upon a rough road and asked the intelligent laborer where 1t would take him. "That road" said the honest country man, wiping his brow, will take you to Ell, sir" The courageous motor list went on and found Ellsworth, which Is pronounced "Elser." Manchester Guardian.

The Dream of the kav.

 Some small article had been lost-l forget now what; let us say . key-be- longing to one of two sisters who were travelling together. It could nowhere be found. But one night one of the sisters dreamed that she saw the key in the pocket of her travelling bag. She told this dream on waking to the other. And have you looked in the pocket?' the sister asked. No, have not" said she, flor the very good reason that there Is no pocket in my travel ing bag" Well" said the other, ''there Is pocket in mine. l will just have a look there on the chance" And there the key was found. The infer ence Is that the dreamer had seen with the eye of sense, though not with the eye of observation, the key put Into the pocket. Even when the key of seeing 1t placed there, but the brain had unconsciously recorded the sensa- ton. In course of sleep it had stun. bled on that record, and by good luck the sleeper on awaking chanced to re member the mental operation that had taken place during sleep. It is a sin gular and almost alarming reflection that our brains are stored with count less such records of which we know nothing DOT ever shall know unless the association of ideas or some peculiar mental state brings them to our no tfoo Sfrnino<ov GovnttA

"Choir." ]"
Review

Churchgoers who follow the service m their prayer books would certainly miss the dear old phrase concerning .auires and places where they sing" and in time the old fashioned "quires" may be made new fashioned again by the coming of rationalized spelling. Choir" was most unnecessary out rage upon the language. The old Eng. fish 'quer'' or "quere" became quite naturally "quyer" or "quire." and so 1t remained until the end of the seven. teenth century. when somebody seems to have introduced .'choir" bcause it looked more like the French "choeur" as if that were a valid reason. There could have been no danger of confus ing church 'quire" and "quire' of paper, which is a different word. the French "cahier." probably from Latin "quaternarium." collection of four ieaves.-London Standard.
