Another CeIina Man
PIucks O6iciaI Plum

Ex-County Auditor Il. A. Weis OF
this city has been rendered place in
the State Bureau of Uniform Account
| ing by State Auditor Fuliington and
will take up the work the LIST Of April.
Mr.. Wise, who has been with the First
National Bank as assistant cashier
since leaving the Auditors ofice, has
rendered his resignation to that insti-
tuition. He will, however, retain his
interest in the bank.
The present State administration has
been recognizing Mercer County men
to an unusual degree and choosing
them evidently for their ability and
fitness for the work to be done. The
selection of Mr.. Wise for the work in
this bureau reflects credit on Mr.. Full
ington.
The splendid service Of ED +. Romer
in the State banking department has
no doubt done much to draw attention
to the capable and trustworthy men in
this neck of the woods. Besides these
gentlemen Treasurer j. M. Howick,
Frank Kloeb and w. E. Reynolds are
taking care of positions at Columbus
with credit to themselves, to the State
and the County of Mercer. Democrats
why, of course.

DRUNKEN BRAWL
CLOSES WITH
GUN PLAY
Night Officer McIIrOy's Peculiar
Stunt Proves Him UNIT
for Job He Holds.

Dan Henderschott and Art Woods,
well known in police circles, were the
participants in drunken brawl last
Saturday night, which, after several
hstic bouts during the evening, ended
in Henderschott's attempt to shoot
Woods, when they met in front of the
Dietrich barber shop, South Main
street, shortly after eleven o'clock.
Two shots were fired, but they missed
their mark, shsttering, however, the
glass front of the barber shop building.
The failure of Night Policeman Nc
Ilroy to lock both men up, when he
parted them during a drunken fight
earlier in the evening, should be
severely censured by the mayor, as the
shooting would have thus been avert
ed, while stringent methods should
be used for his failure to arrest them
after the shooting. Woods refused, so
it is stated, to be arrest and McIlroy,
it seems, didn't see any use in taking
Henderschott in charge, even alter the
shooting.
Sunday morning Woods swOre to an
affidavit in Justice Shorts court,
charging Henderschott with shooting
with intent to kill. He was arrested
by Marshal Weber, plead not guilty
and after hearing was bound over to
court in the sum of $500. Unable to
furnish the bond he was lodged in
iail

Disciple Blackstone
Locates at KentOIl

Attorney j. Cotter Dugan, son OF
Probate Judge and Mrs. p. f. Dugan,
North Main street, left last Monday
for Kenton, where will begin the prac-
tice of law, having secured offices with
Prosecuting Attorney Ray Stlllings,
one of the ablest lawyers of the Hardin
county bar.
Cotter is graduate of the Celina
High School and young man of sterl-
ing qualities. Following a course at
the Georgetown University at Wash
ington, D. c., he returned to this city
and last December passed the State
Bar examination. Since that time he
has been taking a special course in
elocution at Columbus.
Attorney Dugan's locating at Kenton
was partly due to the efforts of Circuit
Judge Phil M. Grow, whose recon-
mendations will add much to the
young mans prestige and assist him in
building up a practice. In opening
Offices in Kenton he begins his career
in the same town his father, Judge
Dugan, began his career, thirty-seven
wears ago

.ELECTRIFICATION Of
c. H. Sd.
North From CeIina Being Urged
by Business Men of DeIphOs
and SpencervlIIe.
[speneerville Journal. ]

A communication to Mayor Hussy
from the Business Mems Association
of Delphos was read before the meeting
of local business men, in which they
requested that our people act in con-
junction with them in an effort to have
the G. H. & d. officials eleetrify their
road from Celina to Mandate, and the
request met with the unanimous ap-
proval of all present. The chairman
appointed committee of three to get
in touch with the DelphQs people and
help along the good work.
Such a move on the part of the G. II.
& d. Officials would be much appreci-
ted by the people all along the line.
Land could be bought at a minimum
cost, as also the erection of poles, wir-
ing and the building of a power-house.
This would give us several trains dali
ly where we now have but one each
way, and it would be great conven-
fence. We all hope to see this move
realized.

CROWDS GREET
AGRICULTURAL
SPECIAL
View Exhibits and Listen 10 Sage
Advice of Apostles of Mod
ern Farm Methods.

The agricultural special train sent
out last Monday under the auspices oi
the State Board of Agriculture, visit
ing several towns in Augiaize County,
and TT. Recovery and Coldwater in
this county, eliminating with meet
ing at the City Hall in this city in the
evening, has come and gone, leaving a
trail behind 1t that will not soon be
obliterated.
Great interest was shown in the
trains visit. At Ft. Recovery the time
allotted for its stay was too short to
permit all of the big crowd assembled
to get a glance at the exhibits, but
those who we're unable TO crowd into
the cars we're entertained on the out
side by some of the lecturers on vari-
GUS subjects. It's reception at Cold
water was no less enthusiastic, and the
train was boarded with interested peo-
pie who only found its stay too short.
At all points the lecturers sought to
impress on their audiences the fact
that they were brought together TO eX-
hibit the progress made by intelligent
and scientific methods along with per-
sistent and painstaking work, and to
point out the pitfalls that come through
the careless and thoughless selection
of grains for PROPAGATION. Almost
every field of agricultural endeavor
had a specialist TO point out the better
way. 1t was for the dissemination of
these ideas the special was sent out
Its mission was to get nearer the peo-
pie for whom colleges and experiment
stations have been founded, to tell
them the services of these institutions
were al their disposal and all informa-
tion free for the asking.
When the special reached Celina 1t
ran into another great crowd made up
of farmers and town people. The
shades of evening, however, were COM
ing on and there was some disappoint-
ment at not being able to distinguish
some of the fine points of the exhibits,
that of old king corn.
The evening meeting at the City
Hall drew an intelligent and appreci-
ative audience and good sized one,
too. There were talks along many
lines, but none was of more interest
than that on sugar beet culture and its |
effect on the soil, for it is right now an |
interesting topic among our farmers |
and they want to know something def |
mite about it-in fact, all about it.
Celina has never had such an inter |
9sting and noted company of agricul-
tural and kindred specialists as was
gathered here Monday night-an in
-elligent body of men on a great mis-
sion: to awaken the people to a full |
of the possibilities of the
soil intelligently understood and scien-
.ifcally treated and worked.

Before the Civil War, there was
hardly plantation in the south but
boasted whipping post TO which the
owners slaves were fastened while be-
ing punished with the cruel whip. To
faithfully depict the actual scenes in
that part OF the south with which the
story deals, Manager Washburn uses
in his production of Stetson's "Uncle
Toms Cabin" which will be the offer
ing Tuesday, March 81, at Celina Opera
house a whipping post which was in
service on Red River plantation for
many years prior TO the rebellion. It's
genuineness cannot be disputed when
one reads the affidavit from the farmer
owner, which Manager Washbur al
ways carries and a copy of which is on
file In a Louisiana court Of record.

Perverted taste in Art.

Nothing is more common than tc
hear it said of reputed works of art
that they are very good but difficult
to understand We are quite used
to such assertions, and yet to say
that a work of art is good, but in
comprehensive to the majority OF
men, is the same as. saying of some
kind of food that it is very good, but
that most people can't eat it. The ma.
jority of men may not like rotten
cheese or putrefying grouse-dishes
esteemed : by people with perverted
tastes; but bread and fruit are only
good when they please the majority
of men. And it is the same with art.
Perverted art may not please the ma
iority Of men, but good art always
pleases everyone. .--Tolstoi
