SLIPPED ONE OVER
THE COMMON HERD
Plain Dealer.]

Every male citizen of Ohio, able
bodied, and between lS and As, must
be enrolled for military duty. He be-
longs to the unorganized militia, and
is subject to call for duty along the
Mexican frontier, to quell riots or any
other purpose.
Sharps in the adjutant generals Office
made the discovery while probing mil
1tary law. They found new statute
requiring ward and township assessors
to make reports every five years of all
who belong to the unOrganized militia.
Each county auditor must forward
these reports to the adjutant generals
Office.
The first listing is to be made this
year, yet no provisions have been made
to carry it into effect. Everybody on
the list who fails to respond to the
governors call is guilty of desertion
from the regular army. The penalty
for that may be imprisonment in the
Fort Lea avenworth pen, with number
and stripes. Gov. Harmon has author
ity to suspend the section, but has not
done so.

Palm Sunday to Black Friday

Cincinnati, March Goth, at the Peo-
pies church, Cincinnati, Herbert S.
Bigelow said in part:
FROM PALM SUNDAY TO BLACK FRIDAY.
1t is a short distance from Palm Sun
day to Black Friday. Today the
streets of Jerusalem cry hosannas to
their King. Tomorrow are heard the
hammers of the workmen mailing the
cross on which He is to die.
1t is the way of the world to break
the hearts that love it most. To the
lips that have spoken the bravest and
truest words men raise the vinegar of
their belated pity.
"HosaDna" shouts the mob today.
"Barabbas" is tomorrow's cry. The
roses of Palm Sunday are strewn by
the same hands that make Black Fri
days crown of thorns.
THE MAN IS cRUCIFIED.
Black Friday for the teacher and
Palm Sunday for his truth. This is the
tragedy and the triumph of history.
He who lusts for Palm Sundays,
serving the truth for the praise of men,
will not be reconciled to the prospect
that the world will accept his truth
and reject him. But for the apostle
there is a mighty comfort in the assur-
auce that though the world may kill

up, while Mendon and other towns

tainly would not be far behind our

put into practical operation. Electrif-

Delphos and Celina in urging this

been abused and derided, and of so

The Country BOy,s Advantage

One of the greatest boons that ever
can come to a human being is to be
born on farm and reared in the coun-
try, says Orison Sweet Marden in
Success Magazine" Self-reliance and
grit are oftenest country bred. The
country boy is constantly thrown upon
his own resources, forced to think for
himself, and this calls out his ingenuity
and inventiveness. He develops bet
ter all-round judgment and a more
level head than the city boy. His
muscles are harder, his flesh firmer,
and his brain fiber partakes of the
same superior duality. The very gran
ite hills the mountains, the valleys,
the brooks, the miracle of the growing
crops are every moment registering
their mighty poteneies in his constitu-
ton, putting iron into his blood and
stamina into his character, all of which
will help to make him giant when he
comes to compete with the city

BOWLERS PREPARE
FOR A SCRIMMAGE

The st. Marys bowling team will
meet a team of this city at the Merceli-
ma Park bowling alley next Wednes-
day evening.
The st. Marys i've is among the best
bowling teams in this part of the state
and have been bowling together for i've
consecutive seasons. No doubt they
will average right around 100 per man
for the three games. They will have
the same team here next Wednesday
night that rolled in the Tri-State Bowl
ing tournament at Fit. Wayne last
week. Their team is composed of Mar
shall, Brink, Oehler, Buehler and Ro-

Just who will represent the Celina
contingent has not yet been decided
upon. A number of excellent bowlers
are rounding into shape here, and con-
sidering the short time they have been
working on the alleys, have been max
ing fine scores. The team will likely
be selected from the following bowlers:
Jacob Scherer, Chas. Ellis, Raymond
Mayer, Otto OFT, Floyd Hauss, Dennis

Black Friday. After the man is mar
tyred they begin to sing hosannas to
his message.
Demosthenes said to Phocion: "PhO-
cion, the Athenians will get mad some
day and kill you" Yes" said Pho
cion, when they are mad; and you,
as soon as they get sane again"
The martyr knows that if the world
kills him when it is mad, il will en-
throne his truth when it gets sane
again.
HIS TRUTH IS CROWNED.
Patience, therefore, is the duty of
those who know as we do, and believe
as we must, that sanity will return to
the world after its madness: that
thrones will he built to the truth whose
martyrs were crucifed; that the Black
Friday of ignorance and prejudice and
hate Will be cOnjured away at last by
the Palm sunday that is TO be, whose
hosannas are not TO be answered by the
hammers on the cross-the Palm Sun
day that is to be, when the streets will
ring with approval of the prophets
message, and the tears he shed will
turn to rivers Of gladness for all the
children of men.

MYSTERIOUS
ACID THROWING
OF Which Mrs. Albert BeiersdOr-
fer Was Victim, Still ksuz-
zIing the Onicers.

Mystery surrounds the attempt at
about 7 o'clock last Monday evening
of veiled woman TO throw a quantity
of carbolic acid in the face Of Mrs. Al
bert Belorsdorfer, East Warren street.
Mrs. Beiersdorfer had just stepped
out into the back yard at her home
when the woman accOsted her, asking
If she was Mrs. Beiersdorfer. As she
answered in the Affirmative the woman
dashed liquid into her face and ran.
Mrs. Beiersdorfer threw up her arm
and most of the liquid, which proved
80 be carbolic acid, struck her arm and
hand, causing severe burns, while
some was conveyed to her forhead and
face presumably in attempt to shield
her face.
IL was an hour or so later before the
matter was reported to the police, Mrs.
Beiersdorfer fearing to go out doors,
when DR.. d. II. Miller was called in
to relieve her sufferings.
Sheriff Fisher, Deputy Sheriff Betz,
Marshal Weber and Night officer Nc
Ilroy at once took the matter in hand
and made a search of the premises. A
lid of a baking powder can, containing
a small quantity of the acid, was found
near the back door of the house, while
stuck beneath the door was a very
rudely written note, only part deciph-
erable, scribbled on both sides of a
blank order form of the Chicago, Gin
clnnati g. Louisville railroad company.
Mrs. Beiersdorfer has not been able
or or does not seem inclined to give the
authorities a very good description Of
the person who committed the crime,
and does not appear to be anxious to
push the matter. A number of ques-
tions put to her have not been answer
ed satisfactorily, and it begins to look
as if no solution of the mystery is
in sight, though now four days old.
