Perhaps there 10 no more curious
chapter in the history OF the chan
Gerry courts than that Of two Pitts
burgh men. The FIRST had a claim to
q small estate abroad. but he did not
have the money to pay the claim
agency to make . search. 80 he got Q
friend to back him. THIS friends
name was Petcrman. and the money
he advanced was like q grubstake-he
was gambling on his friends claim
proving up. One day. when Peterman
was at the claim.agency once. he
came upon this advertisement in the
agency dies: "Peterman (Aibertus).

the fact that the original Petermsn
was last zen at the Kinsey docks In

that David Adams ct al, defendants

owners of lots 73 and 104 in the vii
lagc of Freeport, and have been in
actual possession of the lots for

were left through the will of Joseph
G. Hoffman, deceased. They say that
Henry G. Cordrey was named exec
utor of the will, and that by the
terms of said will he was authorized
and empowered to sell and convey
said property, but that owing to the
claims of the defendants he was un-
able to do so. That the defendants
clam some interest in and lien upon
the property which is adverse to the
plaintiffs title. The plaintiffs say
that such claim is wholly unfounded.
They also claim that the mortgage

LETTER FROM CANADA.

passed through the train announcing
the nomination of Wilson, by the
Democrats. The Canadian papers
obtainable along the route contained
no information of the convention,
and our party (mostly from the
States) were anxious for news.
A feature of Canadian patriotism
observable all along the line is that
OF the display of the British flag in
nearly every town-no matter how
small the town may be-and except
on holidays l doubt if an American
flag is displayed in Perrysburg unless
it may be by our friend Oliver Good
man, who supplies a banner for the
MONUMENT park. Nearly every
prominent building in these small
Canadian towns is surmounted by a
British banner.
Although we were in the land of
King George the flag of "our coun-
| try" was displayed by several of the
tourists on our train and our own
national hymn was heard as rendered
by a mixed" chorus of people, some
OF whom could sing, and some who
merely thought they could. How
ever, it was celebration" and fur
nished amusement. A few Canadians
at the stations where the train
stopped seemed displeased when they
beheld the stars and stripes; but the
Canadian conductor of the dining car
smilingly said, go as far as you like,
the car is yours"
Although this farming country
produces great crops, it seems TO me
that the farmer who leaves Ohio to
come up here, goes long way from
home in search of diamonds that
might be found on his own farm in
the good old Buckeye state-if he
would make the same effort that is
employed here. However, it is but
fair to'state that there is good money
being made in this section and in the
towns of 1000 to 5000 population
along the Canadian Pacific line busi-
ness property values are very high.
Arriving at Vancouver, B. c., our
party Immediately boarded the
steamship Princess Charlotte for a

the statement of the sealer of
weights and measures. It had been
reported that the merchants named
had been guilty of tampering with
their scales in order to defraud their
customers out of their honest weight.
This is serious charge to make

by the statement of the sealer it has

WOOD COUNTY MANS VIEWS.

In letter to the American Issue,
Charles b. SaXby, of Weston, gives
his opinion regarding the liquor Ii
cense question. For many years Mr..
Saxhy was the editor of a paper and
is postmaster of Weston. In his let
ter Mr.. Saxby says
Seventeen years ago Weston had
four saloons and not a public i'm
provoment, not even a flagstone
crossing or walk. Now we have over
three miles of splendid stone and
cement walks and two of our princi-
pal streets paved with brick for near
ly mile. We have $4,000 public
school building paid for and $4,000
fire engine and equipment. Other
streets have been improved. The
town is lighted by electricity and al
together we have expended about
$75, 900 to make our town a beauti-
full place in which to live and do
business. Besides these things two
beautiful brick churches have been
erected by public subscriptions which
cost away up into the thousands, so
you see the town is not dead-has
not been killed by the wiping out of
four saloons. Today the present in
debtedness of this little city does not
exceed $4,000. Men are now living
in our town who when we had saloons
were common drunkards but now
own business blocks, beautiful res
licences and are honored citizens.
These are some of the reasons why
shall vote against legalizing the sale
of liquor. There are others. No
state should give any one permission
to do wrong simply for revenue. do
not believe that Ohio should license
horse stealing, murder, robbery etc.,
and | believe these things could be
as Justly licensed as saloon"
