1nn Rnard the Bel1erophon.1


 When Napoleon Bonaparte officially learned his destination, he remained on deck but a. short time and appear ed as pale as death Yesterday he was something better. He has per mission to take with him part of his suite with the exception of those pro scribed, SaVary, Lallemand and Ser trand We understand he sent for Capt. Maitland and assured him that : 1t was his fixed resolution never to' quit the ship alive. E fear, on the arrivaI of the Northumberland. we shall witness some tragic scene.
 A circumstance occurred last Sun day night which seemed to be very near being a beginning to the scene mentioned above At about o'clock Marshall and Madame Der trand were walking on the, opposite side of the deck-sudden1y Madame B. rushed into NapoIeon's cabin, threw herself at his feet for about half a minute. then flying below to her own cabin, threw herself nearly Nout of the stern window, when she was fortunately caught by Madame Montholen. She continued de1irious the whole night She was better the next day.
 greatly affected Napoleon, he con- ftnues to show himself for about 20 minutes every evening to ethe really astonishing number of people, which I think daily increases. There is no truth in the account of his having taken possession, in an authoritative manner, of Capt. Maitland's cabin.
 They are so full in the ship and have all of them given up their cab ,ins and wardrooms to Bonaparte's suite, that they have been forced to sleep on the deck.

HAVE YOU seen
0. c. GARDNER?

Relatives Of OF. Gardner are at a
loss to account for his absence from
home. He left Medina about six
weeks ago ostensibly to accept po-
sition with a tea company in Ashland.
He returned the following week stat
ing that his work was proving pros
porous. Since then his family have
received no word from him, nor have
they been able to ascertain his where
abouts. He is said to have been seen
walking in the road this side of Berea
two or three weeks ago, but further
than that nothing has been seen nor
heard Of him by his family. He has
a family Of small children dependent
upon him and in the fathers absence
the responsibility is being shouldered
by the older sons. Anyone seeing Mr..
Gardner, or knowing where he may be
found, will do a righteous act by noti-
flying the family, or the authorities at
Medina.

to have the court set aside the will Of
the late wife Of James Ostrander Of

supposed was a life lease to 16 acres
of land left him by his mother, it
proved to be a warrantee deed. Since
the death Of his mother, her son BY q

Last Thursday afternoon while he
and his wife were absent from home
two tramps broke into the palatial
residence of John Dix, mile south OF

stole couple of gold watches, some
silverware and other articles. The
tramps had appeared at the Dix home
about noon and asked for something
to eat. They were given their dinner
Within hearing of the tramps. Mr.

their proposed absence from home anc

THE W|NANS
SCHOOL Law

The Winans School law "a point.
The Winans School Law, which pass
ed the House Tuesday night makes
somequite radical changes in the pres
net school code, but, in the main, does
not materially injure the rural school
system; in fact, the law, as we see it,
seems to be intended to strengthen
the power Of the county board of ed
ucation and county superintendent and
to hasten consolidation or centraliza-
ton of schools. Some of the more
interesting features are as follows:
No district superintendent is allowed
to have charge Of fewer than 80 teach
ers but a school district maintaining
a first-grade high school may remain
out from under district supervision,
and the local board Of education will
have power to say how much time the
principal Of such school shall give to
actual supervision. Such schools will
receive no state aid toward payment
.of principals salary, but such princi-
pal shall perform the Office Of superin-
Itendent directly under the county sup
FesrriiIil(tsndent This provision viii add
work for the county superintendent.
Another feature Of the new law is the
power of the county board Of educa-
ton concerning the closing Of schools
having a daily attendance under IL
for the past year. In cases of this
kind the county board shall have the
power to exercise its discretion as to
whether such school shall be closed or
continued, and from their decision
there is no appeal. The county board
also has power to set one whole dis
trict into another.
