"MURDER WILL OUT"

Cleveland is up in arms over its
social evil, West Salem is having it's
own troubles over the singing Of "Tip-
perary" in it's schools, and now comes
Medina with the discovery Of a gam
ing table in the basement Of its pri-
mary school building. A tip had been
given school officials some time age
that the basement had become fav-
orite rendezvous for certain card de-
votees and that games played there
were not wholly confined to "Casino"
or "seven-up." Thursday morning
about II o'clock word was hurriedly
circulated among half-dozen school
officials and teachers and in company
with Marshal John Gates they all pros
ceeded to the school building. CalI-
tiously they crept from door to door,
| bnt each was locked. They listened,
and It is said Sthat there wete those
among the little band who were
able to distinguish the game being
played by the terms overheard. Be
that as it may, upon reaching the
fire door and upon signal, all hands
threw themselves against the door,
which gave way with crash, Mar
shall Gates turning two forward SOM
mersaults, alighting in a sitting po-
sition on the card table in the center
of the deuce of hearts. It should be
stated, in justice to the schools, that
only one student was in the party of
four apprehended No arrests were
made and we understand that the
school authorities have not fully made
up their minds just what action will
be taken.

Northern Ohio Fair Held in
Cleveland, February 22, 1864

ing covered an area of $4,000 square
feet and cost about $4,000.
Each county in the district had
immense and elaborate displays sci
\ off in booths. These booths were
highly decorated with the national
colors, pictures of famous Americans
and each booth in charge of intelli-
gent and attractive ladies, Those in
charge of the Medina county booth
Were Mrs. Geraldine Taylor and Ad-
die Ballard.
The day of the fair, Feb. %, 1864
was the same day on which Frederic

they're hanging Streeter to-day"
Our article of last week also ha
served to bring out certain minor in
.accuracies of statement. For instance
we wrote of Streeter being taken from
the Jail with the ~black cap" on hi:
head. This is as it was fold us by al
eyewitness and in probably 500 case!
out of 1000 it is black cap that il
used. But such was not the case witt
Streeter. The cap used on him wa'
white and is now in the possession o.
our townsman, Mr.. Willis HI. AIbro
as is also a hand-bill offering a re
ward for the apprehension of Streeter
Both the cap and the bill were presen
ted to Mr. Albro by Mayor Bradley
who was in Office at the time of tht
crime. II has come to us that there
are a number Of persons about tht
county who witnessed the execution
It was not our purpose to handle thii
feature of the story. But during th'
week we have been informed of a
least three Of our citizens who wer,
present. They are Mr.. Albro, Sheriff
Gehman and John REM. Mr.. Abr,
states that when Streeter was asket
if he had anything to say, as he stooc

Jury For $4,000 Libel Suit is Com
pleted.

Syracuse, N. Y.-The jury which
will try William Barnes $4,000 suit
for alleged libel, against Theodore
Roosevelt was completed in Supreme
court here. It comprises seven Repub.
licans, three Progressives and two
Democrats. Twenty-Five talesmen were
examined before both sides announced
that they were satisfied with the II
men in the box. The jurymen are:
Henry Hoag. clerk, Republican
(foreman); Irving ]. Mills, wood
worker, Republican; Walter J. Zuill,
manager, Republican; Franklin 5.
Rhoades, farmer. Progressive; Leon
ard K. Hungerford. painter. Progress
i've; F. w. Pierce. carpenter, Repub-
lican; Warren H. Somers, grocer; Re-
publican; Ray Tanner, farm hand,
Democrat; John w. Brown, farmer,
Republican; George Boschert, manu-
facturer, Progressive; Edward Burns,
motorman, Republican; Peter Bencke,
coal dealer, Democrat.
Immediately after the jury had been
completed, counsel for Colonel Roose-
welt made a motion to dismiss the
complaint against their client on the
ground that allegations made in the
statement on which the suit is based
Mr. Barnes and Charles F. Murphy as
were privileged and that in naming
the controllers of rotten government
i the state of New York, he did not
mean anything personal or to imply
that either Of the two men named had
in any way profited by the alleged "rot.
:enness."

GERMANS BAR THE
ROAD TO HUNGARY
.AUSTRlANs GREATLY cHEERED
BY NUMBER OF GERMAN RE-
IMPROVEMENTS.
RUSSIAN PLANS PROLONGED
French Are Satisfied With Successes
in West Between Muse and i-o-
raine Frontier.

London.-Two gateways into Hun.
gary still remain barred, despite the
tremendous Russian hammering and
as the Beskid Pass is the less import
ant of the two strategically, a further
advance into Hungary hangs on the
possession of Uzok Pass, where the
invaders are meeting with stubborn
opposition. Several days ago the Rus.
slams captured position which gave
them command of a road leading to
tho rear of Uzsok Pass, but since
then the Teutonic Allies have checked
the movement. The importance OF
the Carpathian operations Is indicat-
ed by the half-hearted actions along
tho rest of the long eastern front.
The people of the Dual Monarchy
are said to be greatly cheered by the
number of German reinforcements
passing through Budapest on the way
to the Carpathian front to take part
in the operations, which are now be-
lieved to be in charge Of the German
General STAFF.
The whole situation in the East
pivots on Uzok Pass where the Aus
tro-German forces are in such great
strength that the efforts OF the Rus
SLAMS to reach the Hungarian Plains
are likely to be prolonged.
In the west the French apparently
are satisfied with their recent sue
cesses between the Meuse and the
Lorraine frontier and claim only to
have come in contact with the Ger
man entanglements in this region.
Official German reports assert that
determined attacks by the French re-
ports assert that determined attacks
by the French have been repulsed
along this section.
Probably no session Of the British
Parliament since the opening OF the
war has been awaited with keener
interest than the sitting which will
begin soon.
A "dry" England is not beyond the
possibilities but the Government has
gaHen- no .afaGial- -hint As to what &C.
ton may be expected.

Sharp Fighting Occurs.

London.-Activity along the west
ern battle line seems to partake of
the nature of isolated engagements
rather than a general offensive. Ar
tillery duels have taken the place of
hand-to-hand fighting, which has been
the feature Of the recent struggle
along the Meuse and near the Lor-
raine border, tut the latter type of
combat continues in the Vosges,
where the official statements agree
sharp lighting is taking place on Ger
man territory. The French and Ger.
mans both claim success.

PREME TEST OF A NATIONS

OPENING SESSION OF D. A. R.
Mr.. Wilson Urges The Congress OF
Daughters to Rally to the Cause
Of Righteousness.

Washington.-The need OF self-pos-
session.. calmness and judicial tenn
permanent by the United States in the
present world crisis was urged by
President Wilson in speech before
the opening session OF the twenty
fourth Continental Congress OF the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton.
The president said seff-possession
was the supreme test Of nations
mettle, and urged the Congress to raj
ly to the cause Of righteousness, as
ministered by those who hold their
minds quiet and Judge upon principle.
Following the presidents speech
Ambassador Jusserand of France told
the Congress that the United States
had behaved in he European crisis so
as to command the gratitude and
thankfulness Of the world.
1--WE in France" he said, have
learned to know what the American
heart is made of-the pure American
gold that is in 1t. / am glad that
may affirm the thanks Of France for
the generosity of America-the neu-
trail United States"
The ambassador said the chief
question in the European struggle y
was the same problem that con-
fronted America in revolutionary
times. 1--WE thought we had solved
the problem Of human liberty" he
said. "But it again confronts us. 1t
will be solved now just as 1t was solved
in former times. as it was solved in
the trenches at Yorktown"
The president in his speech de-
cla.ed that he could speak only in gen.
eral terms and that It was "indiscreet"
for him to speak even in that way.
John Hays Hammond, R. c. b.
Thurston, president-general OF the Sons
of the Revolution and John Barrett,
director-general of the Pan-American
Union also spoke.
