storm and weather. AS they should

ISSUING BONDS UNDER
FALSE PHETENBES
ILLEGAL

A Columbus special Of Monday
says: Bond issues made specih-
cally for one purpose and used for
another are illegal, declared Attor-
ney General Hogan in an opinion
to-day, and the officials prescribing
other use or the object of such use
are subject 70 court proceeding for
the recovery of the amount of the
bonds.
THE opinion was rendered in the
case OF Sidney, Ohio, where bonds
in the sum OF $4,000 we're issued
for street improvement purposes
and later the amount WAS paid as
bonus to "A manufacturing concern.
According to the Attorney Gener-

HOG CHOLERA

In an effort to check the spread of
the dreaded hog cholera, large guam
tity of serum was sent this week by
the State Veterinary to the local veter-
mary surgeons, Drs. Gimmel and Sch

master the situation in this county.
The first hogs to be treated will be

township. Mr.. Ait believes his fine
porkers contracted the disease while
he was exhibiting at some of the fairs

among their swine herds, and an en-

For the benefit of the hunter who
doesn't know the law it may be stated
that every farmer is a deputy game
warden on his own farm and has just
as much power to arrest hunter for
trespassing, or for killing more than
the allotted amount of game, as the
sheriff. An owner of a farm doesn't
have to put up signs on his farm to
notify hunters to stay off, Many far
mers do this and others notify hunters
through the press but he isn't required
to do either. If he doesn't want them
on his land all he has to do is to arrest
them when they trespass. Hence the
only safe way for the hunter is to ask
whether he can hunt.

Tribute to the Memory of Jennie Richie

When 1 was teaching in Montezumn.
In the year of 1904,
One morning there came into my room
A girl had meier seen before.
She hesitated when she came in,
She was gentle, strange and shy,
But could tell that she meant we'll
BY the sparkle in her eye.
l asked her in which grade she belonged
And what her name might be;
The former question she couldn't answer
But demurely said her name was Jennie
SO began at once
To hear her read and SPELL
And found, not to my surprise
She did exceedingly we'll.
ut that time, you know,
Was teaching in Number Two,
Z And found for her to stay with me
In that room would never do.
So / took her upstairs
To teacher Number Three,
And said, my brother teacher,
Here's girl you'll want to see.
l said: my brother, this girl is yours
She says her name is Jennie
As for the trouble she will make,
think twill not be any.
She came to school most every day
/ noticed her through the year
And never saw the little girl
Except in the best OF cheer.
When the year of 1905 came on
was transferred to Number Three,

LAKE ERIE HAS
COSTLY WRECK

Two loaded coal cars were knocked
off the track, one empty box car
smashed TO kindling wood and anOth-
ar upset in wreck on the Lake Erie
81 Western in the yards in this city
about one o'clock Thursday morning.
A west bound freight running on the
main siding hit a cut of five coal cars
near the east entrance to Mercelina
Park, deraiing two of the cars. The
engineer in attempting to avert the
collision set the emergency brakes and
the impact and pressure of the tail end
of his train caused an empty box car,
near the center of the train TO buckle
up, throwing two other cars off the
track, ono turning over on its side
down the small embank ment just east
of the Market street crossing and
wrecking the back end of Coroner II.
l.. Hights residence. The car that
caused the smash-up was completely
demolished. The wreck crew did not
get the wreakage cleared up until late

PROPERTY OF LODGES NOT
EXEMPT FROM
TAXATION

A Columbus special of Tuesday II,
says: The ruling of the attorney gener-
al yesterday that property of the
Grand Camp of the Maccabees in Nor
walk is taxable will affect all lodges
with insurance funds for their men,
bers and the families of their members.
The decision states that the act of the
legislature designed TO exempt Masons,
odd Fellows, knights of Pythias and
others, is in direct conflict with the
constitution which exempts only
public charities. The supreme
court has decided that where such
charities are restricted to mem bership,
they are private. In the meantime
county auditors will seek to collect in
every county of the state.

And there found dear Jennie,
Whom l was pleased to see.
Two years was spent in that room,
Jennie and ! together,
For she was there most every day
Regardless OF the weather.
By and by she grew to womanhood-
Her school days then were DER
But every one found Jennie
Kind and gentle as before.
She attended church and Sunday-school,
To which she was an honor,
And II by chance she was not there
The class began to wonder.
By and by she was taken ill.
Serious was the disease,
And soon the doctor found for Jennie
There wasn't any ease.
Patiently was her suffering horne
The days they dragged along
But on Thursday morning
We learned that Jennie had gone.
But her spirit went to Heaven,
To dwell with the God of love;
1t couldn't have done otherwise,
For she was gentle as a dove.
But what she missed on this earth
Was only to her gain
Still her friends feel deeply grieVed,
AS they'll ne'er see her here again.
SO in the grave we laid her,
When the leaves were brown and scar;
And to that family now
The autumn days seem drear. ~

Says the Cincinnati Enquirer:
This is a business country and
there ought TO be a majority of busi-
ness men in Congress. AT the next
election let MS send them there and
give business a chance.
Would there not be a tremendous how
and protest from the Enquirer and other
organs of predatory interests, il the re-
suit Of the next campaign should hinge
on a demand like this:
This is a labor country and there
ought to be a majority Of laboring
men in Congress. Let us send them
there and give labor a chance. "
Would we not be told about the wick
edness of setting class against class2
Then would we not be told in the next
breath that there are no classes in this
country Would we not hear a lot of rot
about how much better attention the
true interests" of labor would receive
at the hands of Congress composed OF
predatory business men (the Enquirer s
kind of business mem, than at the hands
of labor representatives?

Tom l.. Johnson's pioneer work for
three-cent street railway fares has
brought forth its latest fruits in Detroit,
where that rate of fare has just been in
stituted. The first result will, no doubt
be an increase of suburban land values,
but that again should have an education
al effect in showing the truth that land
owners reap the benefit of public inn
provements and therefore the only just
way to raise the money needed for such
improvements is through taxation of
land values.

The new Democratic U. S. Senator
from New York State has better under
standing of the situation of the party il
the nation than most of the alleged lead
ers of the party in the East. In an in
terview on the presidential situation
and the candidates most considered al
this time, he concludes i'll this way:
81 wish particularly to say that
Colonel w. j. Bryan's influence in
the national convention will be a
determining factor. Without Mr..
Bryany hearty support we cannot
win. He has the largest following
of any man in America, and his
high moral character is a tower of
strength to his party. No matter
who is elected President on the DEM
ocratic ticket he will be compelled
by the moral force of public opinion
to offer Bryan place in his cabinet. F."
