were defective, Judge Cummins stat
ed that he found some defects In the
papers, but as the prisoner had been
sent up by a municipality he couldn't
see how he could interfere and or
dered him sent back to jail He
thought the only way the man could
be gotten out of Jail would We for the
mayor Of Bellville to order his dis.
missal or release.
The ordinary proceedings In the
case of a prisoner who has been
committed to the county Jail in de-
fault of payment OF fine is to bring
the matter TO the notice Of the coun-
ty auditor after he has served few
days and he always discovers that
1t costs the taxpayers too much to
keep man there after some punish
ment has been meted out. The audi.
tor thereupon, under alleged powers
conferred by the statute, orders the
prisoner released Where there is a
Jail sentence and fine just as soon
as the jail sentence is completed, al
though the fine and costs are not
paid 1t is also customary for the audi
tor to order the mans release. Judge
Cummins, in speaking of the matter,
says that the only way he can see to
get the man out of jail would be for
the village or mayor of Butler to
suspend the fine. 1t is stated that
Lemley cannot raise the 500 and
costs and as he is committed until
he does pay It the prospects are that
he will pass the remainder of his days
in the county Jail. Lemley's case is
certainly an interesting one and moth
ing like 1t has ever come up in this
county before. 1t is stated the first
offense of "bootlegging" does not pro
vide for any mandatory Jail sentence.
He is being held because he can't pay
the fine.

Be Stopped

Mayor C. A. Mitchell has issued
orders to the police to enforce the
ordinance prohibiting the riding of
bicycles on sidewalks. For the past
several weeks, the sidewalks have
been chosen by bicycle riders instead
of the streets This practice is not
only dangerous to pedestrians, but is
becoming nuisance. If the ordin-
ance is not observed hereafter, the
officers will arrest all violators.

The future cleanliness of elections
of United States senators in Ohio is
certain, as a result OF the enactment
of the WymaD bill for the direct nom
ination and election of senators under
the Oregon plan. The measure was
not specifically defined in the Ohio
Democratic platform and 1t would not
have passed but for the work Govern
or Harmon has done for the bill. In
this instance Democrats, with the as
sistance of few Republicans, took
an even more progressive step than
was called for by the state platform.
Under this bill it will be impossible
for a general assembly to thwart the
will of the people in electing a Unit
ed States esnator. Party bosses will
no longer place men in the upper
house of congress. This measure, 1t
is believed, will be used to end the
career of Senator Theodore Elijah
Burton, of Cleveland, who voted lit
times with Senator Aldrich, when that
Bourbon manipulated the tariff to
foster trusts and to oppress the poor
people. Candidates for the general
assembly under the Wyman bill will
be compelled to vote for the peoples
choice for United States senator.

There are two methods that can be
pursued to right conditions when a
public officer finds that public expendi-
trues are exceeding receipts. One is
to levy taxes sufficient to bring the re-
ceipts up to the appropriation, or rath-
er expenditures, and the other meth
cd is to curtail expenditures so as to
bring them down below the revenues.
The lated is the kind of economy
practiced in private families when the
salaries are insufficient to keep up
expenses.
Governor Judson Harmon, when
confronted with figures showing that
the receipts of the state were less
than expenditures and that as result
the treasury balance was gradually
being lowered, he decided to curtail
expenses and to make use of certain
increase the income. He could have
continued the old scale of expendi-
lures and levied taxes to bring the
revenue up to expenditures, but Gov
eronr Harmon does not do things that
way.
Instead he devised the bill abolish
ing the separate boards of trustees of
1S state institutions and substituting
for them a single board as a means of
curtailing expenses. Under this meas
ure the state will be able to give en-
ployment to prisoners and at the same
time create market for their manu-
factured products, without in any
sense antagonizing union labor lead
ers who were responsible for the
abolishment of the old prison labor
ers. This bill abolishes many posi-
tions; will save at least $500,000 an
nually through the advantage of buy
ing products in bulk for all state insti-
tutions and also will do away with the
idle house in the penitentiary where
prisoners were going insane from the
mere lack of something to do to keep
their minds and hands busy. The GEN.
trail board bill has passed both houses
and will be signed by the Governor.
Under it all political divisions must
purchase from the prisons such sup
plies that they need and can get from
them.

because it employs vacuum insul-
alton, scientifically correct, and be-
cause it is permanent and strictly
sanitary in construction.
II Fireless cooking is not new inyen-
ton, it has been done for centuries
in Holland, Sweden, Norway, Ger
many, China and other countries.
The principle which makes fireless
cooking possible is as follows:
Food will cook when kept above
certain temperature for given
i length of time.
1t has been proved that cooking
continues from the boiling point of
212 degrees, down to 100 degrees.
Therefore, as long as temperature
is kept above 160 degrees, the cook
ing process continues,
l Water brought to boil on an Or
dinary stove and placed in the
Cooker will be too hot to drink after
twelve hours.
Fireless cookers keep the heat
n within the cooker. The more per-
feet the insulation used, the less
heat can escape.

Would Give Away Missouri Bachelors

not too modest to admit that It is the
best brood Of its size know of.
NOW, about this bachelor business
gain. If had my way I'd make every
achelor marry. And there ought to be
way to punish those girls who toy
with the affections of man. This not
only takes up a fellows time, but It
has tendency to make him lose faith
in women, and that is the cause of
much Of this terrible bachelorhood.
"I think l will soon have every
bachelor in the legislature married
off. don't propose to quit work until
l have put an end to the nuisance in
this city. / won't charge a cent for
my work. 1t is just a little bit Of
on my part"
II Il comes to pass that in Mr.. Bur
gins research he finds a bachelor OF
a set Of bachelors who spurn the hand
or hands Of girl or set of girls, then
he proposes to take the matter up
with the legislature. He wants a law
taxing bachelors, whether in the legis-
lature or without, and will tack
clause on to the measure which shall
Impose a prison sentence should the
Imposed tax be unpaid.

INGENIOUS BURGLAR ALARM

A clever invention for giving warn
ing of attempted burglary has been
vested by the police authorities at
Berlin and Dresden. 1t is claimed that
the most experienced criminal ex-
perts were unable to find flaws in the
apparatus. The appliance consists of
a curtain or portiere, wired with fine
conductors. At certain places on the
curtain are affixed small metal knobs,
which are connected with the wire
conductors. The curtain is then drawn
across the window or door or around
the safe, and the slightest disturbance
Of this position Immediately breaks
the circuit, as the metal knobs are
thrown out of contact with each 9TH
er. The alarm itself may consist Of a
series of bells, lights, or other cleo
trical appliances. The invention can
be used to protect doors, windows, and
safes. The curtains can be designed
and arranged to suit individual taste.

FUNERAL OF THE WRONG MAN

A strange tangle up resulted at New
York recently owing to mistake in
the Identification Of dead man.
George Becker learned from the au-
thorities Of a city hospital that his
brother John, who had been an IN
mate. had suddenly died Mr.. Becker
called up an undertaken and asked
him to prepare the body for burial.
Relatives and friends were asked to
attend the funeral When he reached
the undertaking establishment he
found that his brothers features were
much distorted and that he had aged
apparently about forty years. Becker
hurried TO the hospital to learn the
cause of the sudden change, AS he
entered the hospital, he got a glad
shock which took his breath away as
he was confronted by his brother.
After a talk with the superintendent
1t developed that the institution had
been caring for two persons of the
same name, and the authorities had
notified the relatives OF the wrong
man.

STONE MOVED BY THE SUN
Immense Mass Of Granite In ohio
Cemetery Undergoes Curious
Revolutions.

An interesting object is TO be seen
In cemetery of Ohlo-a large gran
ite stone weighing two tons, in the
shape OF ball. which is gradually
turning on its axis. During the last
Ave years, so Il Is said, this ball has
turned a fraction over 13 inches.
When the ball was placed In position
an unpublished spot six inches IN diam
eter was purposely left In the socket
of the pedestal whereon It rested, A
little later II was noted with astonlsh-
ment that this spot was turning up
ward on the south side of the monu-
ment. This curious revolution of the
polished ball, to lift which would re
quire a large derrick, is supposed TO
be due to the suns action, in the fol
lowing manner: The solar rays heat
ing one side cause the ball to expand
to a certain degree whereas the north
side, which rests mostly in the SHADE
does not expand to the same extent,
thus causing the ball gradually to
shift its position by turning.

him by force, he held out for 6S days,
