FARLEY
LIKELY TO FAIL
Turks Refuse to Comply With De-
mands of AlIles-TensiOn,
However, LesSened.

Belief Growing That Germany, France
and Great Britain Will Succeed In
AVerting a Conflict Between the
Powers - ottomans Making Stub
born Resistance Behind the Tcha-
taIIa Lines and at AdrianopIe.
London, Nov. 28 - News that has
been received from the various Euro
pean capitals seems to make it prob
able that the negotiations for peace
between the Balkan allies and Tur-
key, reported to have been started at
Bagheheish, Turkey, will not result
in the peaceful conclusion Of hostili-
ties that had been hoped for.
The fact that the Turkish forces
have so long been able to hold Adrian
ople against such terrific odds, and
the fact that the Montenegrins have
not been able to pierce the defenses
of Scutari, gave the Turks some
ground for refusing to comply with
the demands of the allies that these
two towns as well as Janina be sur
rendered. The strength of the Turks
position behind the Tchatalja lines
also gives him courage In refusing to
submit to the demands Of the allies.
But in spite Of these dark predic-
tions as to the failure of negotiations,
the tension throughout Europe has
been perceptibly lessened.
The belief that Germany, France
and Great Britain will succeed in
averting the conflict toward which
they seemed for few days to be
tending, has grown. Diplomats see a
reason to be especially hopeful over
the report that Austria-Hungary has
agreed to allow Servia a seaport on
the Adriatic as we'll as to the ques-
tion about the future Of Albania. II
this comes true, dangerous pressure
has been removed.
The reports which come here from
Constantinople are not encouraging to
those who are looking for the imme-
date solution of the Balkan question
by the peace allies now said to be
celebrating. Nazim Pasha and one
of the representatives of the porte re-
jected the proposals submitted and in
turn gave out counter proposals.

JURY FINDS FOR
PLAINTIFF
In Weaver-Lennartz Damage Suit
In Sum of Four Thousand
Big Round Dollars.
Verdict Rendered Late Yesterday
Acknowledged to High
er Court Probable.
We find for the plaintiff, and
assess her damages at $4,000.

Such was the verdict of the jury sit.
ting in the Weaver-Lennartz $4,000
damage suit, when they finally reported
to Common Pleas Judge Layton at 3:4i
yesterday afternoon.
After being sent back yesterday morn
ing to answer the twenty-one special
questions asked by the defendant s
counsel, they announced at l:30 that
they were ready to report. Judge Lay
ton, who had gone home for his Thanks
giving dinner, did not return until the
$3.50 Western Ohio car.
When the court was presented with
the verdict he announced that it was not
the privilege of the jury to fix upon the
damage to be awarded the plaintiff and
her posthumous child separately; that
their verdict should only state the total
amount of damages. They were there
upon returned to the jury room, and at
3:4S made their final report.
Neither the plaintiff, Mrs. Alice Wea-
yer, or the defendant, Councilman Len
nartz, were in court when the verdict
was rendered, but both parties were at
once notified by phone.
While Mr.. Lennartz has not been
talked to upon the matter, it is more
than likely that the case will be carried
up and go to the newly created Court of
Appeals early in the year.

BOY FIRST VICTIM
HUNTING SEASON

The first fatality of the hunting season
reported lin this county occurred near
Mendon last Saturday morning, when
Darlene Kennedy, an eleven-year-old
| lad of that village, was accidentally shot
| in the left hip. The accident happened
while the lad was out hunting with two
ompanions-Hilbert Seibert, Ia, and
Erich Boegel, 13. The three boys started
out early in the morning with a rifle,
which at the time was unloaded. As they
proceeded young Seibert slipped in a
cartridge, though his comrades knew
nothing about it. The Kennedy boy
then took the gun and carried it. Later
he transferred it to both Seibert and Boe-
gel, who grabbed it at the same time.
While the two were examining the rifle,
young Kennedy passed i'll front of them.
At that instant the gun was discharged.
The ball passed through the hip, into
the abdomen. The accident occurred
within sight of the road and passersby
heard the shot and hastened to the lad S
aid and carried him home. A physician
was summoned Examination proved
the bullet had reached a vital spot. He
grew worse Saturday evening and suf-
fered intensely until relieved by death
early Sunday morning.
Deceased was a son of Mrs. Mary Ken
nedy, and besides his widowed mother,
is survived by FIVE brothers and five sis
ters. Funeral services were held by Rev.
Gottschall at the Mendon Church of God
Yesterday morning.

The Fire Department
In a New Role

A hurried run of the fire department
last Friday afternoon, and quick work of
Fire Chef Weisman and Fireman Diener
possibly saved the life of Mrs. VIM Orr,
who had accidentally fallen into cistern
at her home on East Market street.
A neighbor saw Mrs. Orr slip and fall
into the cistern and anxious to secure
assistance hurriedly, called Fire Chef
Weisman, who made quiet run to the
place and with the use of a ladder and
hooks raised Mrs. Orr from her perilous
position The ice cold water was Bbove
her waist in depth, and it was at first
feared the chill and shock would result
fatal, but she is now getting along
nicely.
Mrs. Orr had removed the top of. the
cistern to see how much water was still
in it, when she slipped and fell in.

The sad news was received by rela-
tives in this city Wednesday afternoon
announcing the death, at Colorado
Springs, Colo, of Miss Hilda Cron, aged
19 years, the youngest daughter of the
late VIM. Cron, the well known carriage
manufacturer. The news was quite a

not know of the sickness of the young
girl.
Her mother, Mrs. VIM. Cron and one
brother, Carl, were with her at the time
of her death, which was due to typhoid
fever. She was one of Celina's fairest
daughters and had a large circle of
friends.
Surviving, besides her mother and
brother above mentioned are four other
brothers Fred, Herman and Ado, of this
city; John, of Wauseon, and one sister
Mrs. B. f. Schele, of Ft. Wayne, Ind.

Before Circuit Court.

The Circuit Court, with Judges Kim
der, Grow and Donnelly on the bench,
will convene in this city next Tuesday

docket-all appeals from the Common
Pleas Court.
Two Of the cases-the Randolph slave
cases, or York Ryal ct al. against Ger

against Bernard Dewell ct al.-will not
likely be taken up, as Senator Johnson,
plaintiffs counsel, is not ready for argu-
ment.
Three appeal cases on pike assess
ments-casper clune, Mary Homan and
Fred Winner VS.. The Board of County
Commissioners-wiill likely be heard, as
also the case Of the Blackcreek Oil Co.
The famous motion picture case in the
Auglaize County Court will also be pre-
sented to the Circuit Court here We'd
nesday or Thursday. This case is enti-
tied the State of Ohio VS.. NJ. A. Marks,
of St. Marys. The state will be repre-
sented by Chas. Dempsey, Of Columbus,
special counsel TO Attorney General
Hogan, while the defense will be repre-
sented by Mooney & Hirsch, we'll known
St, Marys attorneys.
The plaintiff attacks the validity of the
state law regulating places of amusement

RED CROSS SEALS
BY MILLIONS
Onlces of CeIIna Club Women En-
listed I'm Worldwide Move
ment Against stTubercuIOsls.

Beginning to-day over so, 000, 900 Red
Cross Christmas Seals will be placed on
sale in almost every large city and near
ly every state of the United States, the
proceeds to go for the benefit of the anti
tuberculosis movement in the communi-
ty where the seals are sold. The an
nouncement was made to-day from head
quarters of the National association for
the study and prevention of tuberculosis
which is directing the sale from its New
York Office. II is planned to make the
campaign this year the largest that has
ever been held.
For the purpose of pushing the sale of
Red Cross Seals in this city, the proceeds
to go as previously mentioned in the
fight against consumption, Miss Jeanette
Eaton, Of Columbus, a representative Of
the Red Cross Christmas Seal committee
of the State society, met a committee of
three of the leading clubs of Celina-the
Shaspere, Altrurian and History-at the
home of Mrs. Ira +. Champion Wednes-
day to lay the matter of getting the seals
before the people of this community.
Mrs. II. l. sSchunck, the well known
jeweler and optician of this city, notified
tiIS NoiiiiiAltlSS VI hSi "AliiA ShSo9 " nan
die them at her store, and other bust
ness places would no doubt fall in line.
Mrs. Champion said yesterday nothing
definite in the matter of their distribu-
ton had been made, and the local cam
paign will not likely be pushed further
until a supply of seals hbve been re,
ceived.
Celina women will not be far behind
her sisters of neighboring cities in par
ticipating in the war being waged against
the great white plague, and when they
get in action Red Cross Christmas Seals
will find little competition from other
sources. Every man, woman and child
should see that their Christmas pack
ages, big or little, are adorned with one
of them. Let the good fight go on.

livered at 1890, after which the jury
again retired into session to complete
their work.

When Democracy viii Die

When the lion eats grass like an OK,
And the angle worm swallows thu
whale,
When the terrapin feasts on the fox,
And the hare is outrun by the snail.
When serpents walk upright like men,
And doodlebugs travel like frogs,
When grasshoppeTs feed on the hen,
And feathers appear on hogs.
When billygoats swim in the air,
And elephants roost in the trees,
When insects in summer are rare,
And the water dries up in the seas.
When money exceeds the demand,
And the seashore goes out with the tide
When rabbits lay eggs in the sand,
And the bridegroom eclipses the bride
Wnen the hummingbird brays like 1
mule,
And Limburger smells like a sose,
When Hades is pleasant and cool,
And a chicken has seventy toes.
When hair reappears on the head,
And wool on hrdraulic ram,
Then the party we love will be dead,
Anh creation will end with slam.
