ASSEMBLY ACTS
DECLARED VALID
PRESENT SESSION OF THE OHIO
5 GENERAL ASSEMBLY Is DE-
cLAREp CONSTITUTIONAL RY
SUPREME COURT.
BY Associated Press.

Columbus, O.. March THE pres
ent session Of the Ohio general assem-
bly, is constitutional. The supreme
court today handed down an opinion
to this effect, thus making all acts of
the legislature legal There was some
question as to the constitutionality of
the session and the matter was brought
before the supreme court for settle
ment
The appropriations by the legisla-
ture, which were made the basis of the
test, are constitutionalIy made and will
be drawn upon now by the state au-
ditor in payment of the expenses and
obligations of the state
Here is the crux of the question that
caused all the trouble:
The present constitution provides
that the first session of the legislature
under it should be held in January.
1852, and in another section that the
sessions should be biennial. That. it
was claimed by those who held that
the session was irregular, fixed it as
long as the constitution stands that
way, that the sessions always should
be held in the even numbered years.
The last legislature, by the passage
of the Patterson law, attempted to
change 1t so that the legislature could
meet in the January next following
the election. AS the members always
are to be elected in the odd-numbered
years. that meant that they must al
ways meet in the odd numbered years,
of which this is one. The Patterson
law stands.
Atlee Pomerene's election to the
United States senate is made valid be-
yond any doubt by this decision.

health for some time and bis death,
though keen affliction to his fam

Tuesday afternoon, at 5 o'clock,
the funeral services took place at
Bethel church, of which the deceas-
ed had been a loyal member for a
number of years, the services being
conducted by the Rev E E Erwin in
the absence of Rev D NJ Clark, the
pastor of Bethel. At the conclusion
of the church service the Masons
present took charge of the body
and, according to their solemn and
impressive ceremony, tenderly laid
to rest beneath the sod at the Epps
burying ground the mortal remains
of their departed friend and brother.
Mr. Wilson was one of the most
prominent and influential men OF
his community. Of a genial man.
ner and kindly nature he was well
liked by all who knew him. He was
thoroughly alive to every movement
that he deemed to the best interest
to his community. and in his death
our county loses one of its best citi-
zens. May he sleep peacefully un-
til the resurrection morn and in the
final judgment reap the reward of
the good servant, who being faith
full over a few things shall be made
ruler over many in the abode of
the righteous, where parting and
sorrow and death are not known.

He passed away quietly and peace.

perfectly aware of the change that
was taking place. The funeral serv-
ices were held at the Lake City Bap-
tist church Tuesday morning and his
body was laid to rest in the yard of
that church. He leaves an aged
widow and several sons, daughters
and grandchildren.
Mr. Weaver was Baptist minis

preached all over this country to va
rious congregations of his brethren;
as a preacher he ranked above the
average, among the thoughtful and

not to entertain, and to him duty to.
his Master was his most engaging
idea. According to human computa-
ton he was between seventy-seven
and severty-eight years of age; by the
calendar of the eternities no man can
number his years. His was long
life of labor; yea, even of great
trial at times, yet through it all a
life blameless, calm, active and true.
A man ABSOLUTELY above reproach, Of
unquestioned integrity and spotless
purity of life and character, no man
of this community was more highly
respected or held in more exalted es-

success, FOR the world is better by
his having lived in it. And this is
the true measure of success. If
Righteousness availeth anything, then
is he with the righteous.
