APPROPRIATION
Representative Ansberry Introduces
Bill in House of Representatives to
Appropriate $65,OOO for the Erec-
tion of Post Office Building in
Wauseon.

By the redistricting of the state
last April Fulton county was taken
out of the ninth congressional dis
trict and placed in the fifth district.
Mr.. Sherwood was elected in 1912,
before the act of redistricting the
state was passed, as congressman for
the ninth district which then included
Fulton county and Mr.. Ansberry for
the fifth district. Mr.. Ansberry will,
as candidate for reelection. have
to look to Fulton county for the sup
port of his party in this county, as it
is now a part of his district. This ex-
plains, in some part at least, Mr., Ans
berry's interest in this county as dem
onstrated by his action last Friday
when he introduced into the House of
Representatives the appropriation bill
which we publish herewith. The bill
was referred to the Committee of
Public Buildings and Grounds and or
dered to be printed.
Whether or not the bill will pass is
a matter of conjecture as is also the
possible cutting down of amount, but
whatever may happen to the bill, Mr.
Ansberry has shown that he is "on
to his job" and does not intend to
clay down" in his campaign for re-
election as congressman from the
Fifth Ohio District.
A Bill
Providing for the erection of a pub
lie building at Wauseoh, in the State
of Ohio.

suitable building, with fireproof
vaults therein, for the use and ac-
commodation of the post office in the
city of Wauseon, State of Ohio. The
plans, specifications and full esti-
mate for said building shall be pre-
viously made and approved according
to law, and shall not exceed, for the
site and building complete, the sum
of $65,000, which sum is hereby ap-
propriated out of any money in the
Treasury not otherwise appropriated
Provided, That no money appropriat-
ed for the purpose shall be available
until valid title for the site of the
said building shall be vested in the
United States.

PLAIN STATE EMENT-
OF Facts Concerning Fulton County
Business Index and Clinton S.
Kimes-Of Interest to Some of the
Business and Professional Men of
the County.
the County.

Il We have received many inquiries
from business men over the county
by phone and mail, in regard to Clint
on S. Kimes and Business Index of
the county for which Kimes solicited
the business men of the county. dur
ing the last six months of 1913. Most
of the inquiries which came to us by
mail we have answered as best we
could by personal letter. This mat
ter is now in such condition that
we desire to make the following
plain statement of facts:
Some time last August the Mr..
Kimes referred to, came into our Of
flee. introduced himself and stated
that he was about to compile busi-
ness directory or Index of Fulton
county; he showed as card board
directories of other counties in the
state in which he had done work of
this kind and copy of Putnam
county paper in which such direc-
tory was printed explaining that his
plan was to have the directory pub
lished in one of the county papers in
one issue and to furnish to his sub
scribers a quantity of the card board
directories for distribution over the
county; he asked US for a price on
space in one issue of the Tribune for
such directory, he to furnish the
plates from which the directory was
to be printed. We gave Mr.. Kimes
our price which he accepted and said
that he would publish the directory
in the Tribune. The Tribune entered
into no contract with Mr.. Kimes, 9th
er than the agreement to publish in
the paper the directory from plates
furnished by Kimes at the price for
space which was agreed upon. Mr.
Kimes was working on his own re-
sponsibility and the Tribune assumed
no other responsibility than to pub
lish the directory in the paper when
Mr.. Kimes furnished the plates for
the same.
Mr.. Kimes worked in the county
until some time in December; some
two or three weeks after he had be-
gun work he came into the office ano
asked US if we would have any OBJ
lection to his, Kimes, taking subscrip-
tions for the Tribune, as he might

POSTMASTER
At Wauseon Is Still a Republican
Democratic Appointment Held Up
On Account of Disagreement of
Congressman.

Owing to the fact that we do not
consider it real nice society manners
to NEEDLE in family quarrel unless
it is In our own family, we have had
nothing to say in regard to the un-
pleasant situation which seems to
have arisen between Congressman
Sherwood and Ansberry in regard to
the appointment of postmaster at
Wauseon to succeed ]. F. Outcalt,
whose commission expired Monday,
February the 9th. Up to date we
have not learned that any appoint
ment has been made and inasmuch as
the present incumbent is a Republl-
can and a member of our own politi-
cal family, we've "nuthin tall to say.
Its neither our picnic nor funeral and
we haven't been invited to attend the
obsequies. But as matter of news
we feel justified in publishing the
facts as we understand them in order
that our readers may be apprised of
the situation Fulton county is. ac-
cording to the act Of the general as
sembly, April, 1918, in the Fifth Con-
gressional district; though when the
congressman were elected in the fall
of 1912 Fulton was in the Ninth and
Mr.. Sherwood was elected to repre-
sent this county as part of that dis
trict for the term of two years; this
term does not expire until March,
1915. Mr.. Ansberry will be candi-
date for reelection next fall and nat
urally he is interested in the federal
appointments, which are made on the
recommendation of the congressman,
in a county from which he must OBJ
tain votes to aid him in securing his
reelection.
Mr.. Sherwood has recommended
Emil Weber for appointment as post
master at Wauseon. The Democrats
of Wauseon are not agreed as to be-
ing satisfied with this appointment,
or least SO it appears. Mr.. Ansberry
has evidently listened to objections
filed with him by members of his
party in Fulton county and opposes
the appointment of Weber. There
seems to be no disposition on the part
of the Postmaster General to for
ward the appointment of Postmas-
ter at Wauseon until the Congress
men have come to an agreement in
regard to the matter and in the
meantime this post office remains, in
the hands of the Republican postmas-
ter and the mails come in and go out
of Wauseon just as though nothing
was happening.

FRANK WENGER
{ 4

A young man who commanded the
respect of those who knew him and
who leaves a large circle of friends
who will sincerely mourn their loss,
passed out from our community for
ever with the decease of Frank Wen
ger last Friday afternoon. Born in
Pettisville in 1879 he was but "a
years, 2 months ana days old at the
time of his death; for the past six
years he has suffered from that in
siduous disease, tuberculosis, and at
the age when other men are coming
into their prime his life was ended.
For number of years ne with his
brother Charles were in the saloon
business in this city. About, four and
one-half years ago they removed to
Toledo Frank and his mother re-
turned to Wauseon about two years
ago and made their residence on Clin-
ton street. His mother and sister.
Mrs. A. C. Baxter, OF Pasadena, Cal,
cared tenderly for him during these
last, for him hard weeks of suffering.
He knew that the end was near, faced
it manfully and made arrangements
for the simple funeral services which
were held from the Clinton street
home Monday at one o'clock. Rev.
Kleupfel of the Lutheran church con-
Quoted the service and the interment
was made in the Pettisville cemetery.
Six young men, Frank and Will Hau-
messer, Art Wells, Charles Mattison,
George Haliauer and Otto Funkhous-
er, all of whom had been close friends
of Mr.. Wenger, bore his body to its
last earthly resting place. He is sur
vived by his mother, his brother, Char
les of Toledo, and sister, Mrs. A. c.
Baxter. of Pasadena, Calf.
Those present at the funeral from
out of town were Mrs. Chas. Krick-
ham. Mr.. Ed Fell, Mrs. T. ]. Hacker,
Mrs. J. N. Memtel, Mr.. Charles Wen
ger, Jr., Mrs. Troutwein, Mrs. Gass,
Mr.. Fred Fowley, Mr.. H. Lavman,

have opportunity, we answered that
we were willing that he should take
such subscriptions.
Along in the latter part of Decem-
ber we began to receive inquiries
from various persons in regard to
Mr.: Kimes and the directory and with
them came the intimation that he
had led people to believe that he was
working for the Tribune in making
the directory and that the Tribune
was back of the project.
We had not seen Mr.. Kimes for
number of weeks nor had we heard
of his whereabouts and in order to
locate him we instituted inquiries
through the Western Newspaper
Union. We learned that he had been
getting his plates made and card
board charts printed by the Cincin-
natl branch of the w. N. U. and that
his business relations with them had
been satisfactory up to 1913 when he
had plates made for directory for
Paulding county for which he had not
paid and which were still on their
hands. Last week we learned that
Mr.. Kimes was in Seneca county and
on the affidavit of Mr.. A. J. Fields.
a warrant was issued for his arrest
On charge of obtaining money on
false pretense. Sheriff McQuillin i'm
mediately wired the sheriff of Seneca
county to apprehend Kimes and on
Friday made the trip to Tiffin and
BROUGHT Mr.. Kimes back with him.
Saturday night the sheriff of Pauld-
ing county phoned Mr.. McQuillin that
there were two indictments against
Mr.. Kimes in Paulding county
Monday morning at hearing before
Justice Deyo, Kimes was bound over
to the Grand Jury and failing to
furnish bonds was remanded to the
county jail to await the convening of
the Grand Jury in March. Mr.. Kimes
was not acting for the Tribune in co..
lecting money for advertisements in
the county business directory or in
dex and was not authorized to state
that the Tribune was back of that en-
terprise in any way except as the
naper in which the directory was TO
be printed. when he. Kimes had COM
pleted it. Kimes claimed at the hear
ing that he intended to publish the
directory and issue the card board
chart for Fulton county as soon as
he could get money enough to do so:
that he had not been verv successful
in Fulton county, and that he had not
been able to fulfill his contracts be-
cause of lack of money

LETTER TO REPUBLICANS

Fellow Republicans:
The following letter will explain it
self. We shall find out what arrange
ments can be made as to rates, and
advise you later. There seems to be
veritable tidal wave of denounce-
ment of the gross incompetency and
extravaganza of the Cox administra-
tion, and the people turn again, as it
has SO often in the past, to the party
of Lincoln, of Garfield and Mckinley,
for relief. It matters not if we be
conservative Republicans, progress
i've Republicans or radical Republi-
cans, we owe it to the memories of
our illustrous dead, and to the call of
the present for riddance of those who
would 'Tammanyize" our great state,
to make common cause against the
common enemy.
Word left with either of the Repub-
ican editors, if you are contemplate
ing attending the meeting, will be
appreciated. | am,
Yours for harmony and victory.
