CLEAN-OUT INSTEAD
OF DREDGING
Believed to BE Final Solution of
the Much-MOOted st. Marys
River Improvement.
[wapakoneta Daily News, June I2. I

[Wapakoneta Daily News, June II.
The joint meeting ofthe commission
ers of Auglaize, Mercer, and Van
Vert Counties, which was held at the
court house in this city Monday FORE
noon to further discuss the st. Marys
River Improvement, was only short
session. There were several interested
property owners who live along the
river present at the meeting, the num-
ber of whom were in favor of the i'm
provement as petitioned for.
The commissioners present we're: f.
E. Bailey and Henry Ruemping of
Auglaize county; VIM. Munzinger and
E. A. Walborn, of Van Vert county
and Fred Heiby and Frank Dillhoff, of
Mercer county.
Even though the commissioners of
Mercer and Van Vert counties seem
opposed to the extensive improvement
petitioned for it looks like there will
be a unanimous vote by the commits
sioners of the three counties favoring a
cleaning out of the river. That is
freeing it of boulders, d-bars, beds
of gravel and drifts. The absence of
interested parties at this meeting occas-
ioned the brevity of the session, and
the commissioners present adjourned
to meet at Celina on the I1th of July,
when decisive action will be taken to
determine what Improvements will be
made.

IMPROVEMENT OF
THREE STREETS
w. +. SchuncIS, a Lake Mercer
Boomer, Wants n Public
Building I'm Lake
Where Visitors Can See Beauties,
Rest and Praise Those from
Whom Blessings Flow.

Council met In regular session Tues
day evening, with all members pres
ent and Mayor Kenney presiding.
The appointment Of Louis Houck as
assistant fireman for the term begin
ming May % was confirmed by council.
WE. Schunck, one Of Lake Mercer's
original boomers, good goods and thir-
ty-siX inches wide, came before the
dads with a proposition to construct a
public rest house out In the lake, tell
ing them the town could get such a
permit from the state authorities for
the asking. He further stated he be-
lieved the money for such a purpose
could be raised by popular subscrip-
tion, and suggested a building 30x3O
at distance of $50 feet Of shore. The
Mayor was ordered to start the ball
rolling by getting in communication
with the State Board Of Public Works
on the subject.
The monthly reports of the water
works and electric light plant, as well
as that Of the Mayor, were read and
accepted.
J. H. Gardner asked council for an
outlet for drainage of lots in the north
end Of town.
AppropTiating ordinance was read
and favorably acted upon.
Beiersdorfer, of the street committee,
told council that the village laborers
wanted more wages. He also stated
Street Commissioner Cast could buy
an old mower for $40 that would ena-
BILE him to put the grass and weeds
that fringe the streets and cutters in
extinct class. The street committee
was authorized to look into the merits
of the machine and use their own judg-
ment in the matter.
An important action was taken when
the street committee was authorized
Tuesday night to take up the improve
ment of East Anthony street, North
Sugar and Logan streets. Tho two
former have long been neglected, and
the people along them may now begin
to believe they are residents of the old
town in fact.
The matter of repairing the cutters
on the City Building and providing
heating system for the building was
ably discussed but action was not on
the program.

At the sale of road improvement
work on the Sth inst. in this city, the

Easy Picking.

In a lOp-sided, uninteresting, nine
inning farce at Mercelina Park last
Sunday, Celina defeated a bunch of
supposed to-be ball players from De-
catur, Ind, by score of II to 0.
The visitors wore base ball uniforms,
and this was the only possible way to
determine their intentions.
Their fielding was ungraciously rot
ten while they were without a pitcher
to go against bunch of sluggers like
the Celina club.
The boys started it off on the jump
Betz cleaning the sacks in the first in
ming by a hree-bagger. A round of
errors gave the boys another in the
second.
Then it was that the visiting twirler
got the worst lambasting that he ever
received. Betz started the third with
single and every man poked the
sphere to safe territory during the inn
ing, Ellis and McComb making theirs
good for three bases.
The boys kept nagging away until
the close of the game. Their heavy
hitting and a most sensational stop by
the young short stop Bethel were the
only redeeming features Of the exhibit
ton. Score:

CHAMPION AMATEUR
SHOT Of STATE
Geo. KistIer Brings Medal to Ce-
lima, Winning Easily in Clean
and Fast Contest.

A Columbus dispatch to the Enquir-
er of June says: Perfect weather and
more targets than ever trapped before
in an Ohio shoot marked the close de-
cision by which George Kistler, of
Celina, to-day won the amateur state
championship, taking it away from
four others with whom he tied on the
first score.
The event consisted of two targets of
25 each and when it was over Kistler
had tied with G. Doolittle, George
VoIk, F. M. Edwards and George
Burns, each shooting As. The shoot
off was at 25 targets. On the sixth
target Volk missed and Edwards
dropped his tenth. Burns stayed on
until the twelfth, missing that and the
thirteenth, while Doolittle fell out
after shooting straight hits till the
twenty-first. Kistler finished the %
without miss, winning the event.
r. 0. Heikes made the long run of
the day, going 1877 straight, missing
the 13Sth. This with his run Of the
previous day, gave him a record of
1sO breaks and won for him one of the
Dupont professional long run trophies.
E. M. Stout, of Circleville, made a

FOODNI D
DEAD
Faithful WIfe's Horrible Find As
She Seeks Husband TO Come
TO Awaiting Dinner.
Genial Dan warthman Hangs
Himself I'm a Pig-Pen at His
Home Near Tamah.

News reached this city shortly after
noon yesterday of the finding of the
body of Daniel Il. Warthman, resid-
ing near Tamah, with an improvised
rope made Of twine around his neck
and life extinct. The fatal moose was
attached to a rafter in a pig-sty near
the barn, and here IL WAS the horrified
wife, who had become uneasy over his
failure to come to dinner, found him.
Mr.. Warthman had left the house
about two hours previous, and when
the wife had dinner prepared and he
was not about, she phoned to Tamah
for him, thinking perhaps he had gone
there. On being advised that he was
not there, she went out to look for him, f,
with the above result.
Mr.. Warthman was we'll known in
this city, and when the report of his
self-destruction was first rumored none
of his friends gave it serious attention,
for he WAS regarded by all who knew
him as a light-hearted, jovial man,
without trouble or care in the world.
When the news was substantiated they
were almost dumfounded.
He enjoyed a pleasant home near
Tamah, and for number of years
was engaged in selling pianos. He
seemed to be in his usual spirits yes
terday morning according to reports,
and no reason can be given for his
rash act, although it developes he was
not i'm his usual health. A razor was
found on his person, suggesting pre-
meditated suicide.
Tho place he selected for the deed
would seem to indicate sudden aber-
alton. Death resulted from strangula-
tion frightfnl to contemplate. The
roof of the pen was scarcely n half foot
above his head, and he must have de-
liberatey drawn up his feet and choked
himself into insensibilty.
Officers were Immediately notified
of the occurrence, but when Sheriff
Fisher and Coroner Hight arrived on
the scene they found he had been cut
down, in the hope that the spark of
life had not gone entirly out.
The deceased leaves a wife and four
children.

MOST SATISFACTORY
APPOINTMENT
Prof. J. w. POgue Given Place on
County Board of Examiners,
Succeeding Supt. Clifton.

Prof. ]. L. Clifton, Of Mendon, last
Saturday rendered his resignation as a
member of the Board of County School
Examiners to accept a place in the
office of the State School Commissioner
as an examiner. The appointment
gives Mr.. Clifton additional prestige as
a school man and incidentally more
compensation, both of which he is de-
serving. His residence in our little
Mercer County town has been fruitful
to himself and most satisfactory to
the public, and while distinct loss TO
its educational and social circles, good
wishes for continued success go with
him.
Prof J. w. Pogue, for several years
principal of the Celina High School,
has been appointed to the place made
vacant on the Board Of Examiners
by the resignation of Mr.. Clifton. The
selection is a most fitting one, and the
people of the county as we'll as Judge
Dugan are to be congratulated on the
appointment. Mr.. Pogue is an enthu-
siastic school man, clean, efficient,
progressive and of high moral pur-
pose. The Board will be kept up to its
high standard by the appointment.
The other members of the Board are
Supt. Cotterman and Prof. A. c. Eifert.

Is8.-Is there any way 20 de-
termIne how old the earth Isl


terInine how old the earth Isl
Answer.-The age Of the earth IL
unknown. The Bible does not as
sumo to tell as when the earth was
created. The account given in GEN
esis is merely a record Of the bring
ing of a portion Of the earth from its
chaotic condition into a place suita-
BILE for human habitatiOn. The
opening words Of that Rccounnt are:
I'm the beginning God created the
earth, and II was without form and
void" that is, II was empty as re-
spects animal and vegetable life.
Six creative days are mentioned,
the word day" referring 20 pc
riod or epoch Of time, as we now
speak Of "Washington's day"
These creative periods are clearly
indicated I'm the different strata Of
the earth's surface. Thus the Scrip
tuTal teaching on this point is con-
hrmed by geolOgists, who have dis
covered that the earth was develop
cd, for mans habitation, in six diff
ferent epochs, viz: Azoic, or life
less agei Palaeazoic, or age Of mol
lusks; Devonian, or age Of fishes;
Carboniferous, or age Of coal forma-
tion; Reptilian, or age Of reptiles
and sea monsters; and Mammalian,
or age Of animals that suckle their
young; all OF which preceded the
creation of man. The evidence is
very strong that these six creative
days were each seven thousand
years long, and that, therefore,
Adams creation took place forty
two thousand years after the begin
ming of the work of setting the
earth in order. All that period of
forty-two thousand years was occu-
pied in preparing the earth as
place for mans habitation. And it
is evident, from the volcanic erup-
tions, earthquakes and various
other radical changes taking place
in nature, that the work of prepar-
ing the earth as a perfect habitation

IS4.-WhO made satanl
Misunderstanding 10 the Bible,
Satan, Of his own volitlon, became
the adversary OF God. Originally,
as God created him, he was holy,
pure, grand Of character and OF a
high order OF angelic nature, "cov-
ering eherub" Ezekiel xviii, l6l.
He transformed himself from the
loyal, glorious servant Of God, to a
bitter enemy and opponent. The
Scriptures tell us what constituted
this transforming work-that IL was
an evil thought, disloyal thought,
an ambitious thought. The angel
Lucifer-signifyinR bright morn

" III aalNMA Ahh0 MuhNHns Will "a
alt my throne above the stars Of
God 1.-THE other angels .... will
be like the Most High" isaiah xiv,
I2-lA. AS God is the Emperor Of
the entire Universe, / should like 10

II, whore / might reign supreme and
work out my own schemes and
plans" Lucifer's opportune mo-
ment came when our first parents
were created. Perceiving that they
had provocative powers 10 fill the
earth with pOsterity, he seized upon
the thought that by alternating them
from God, he could WELD an inhu-
ence over them and eventually have
an earthly dominion of Satan. God
has permitted him to carry out
much of his scheme, while he was,
at the same time, unconsciOusly,
working out a part of the Divine
Program.
