Mr.. Harrington said that property

matters.
Marlatt took this occasion to repeat
his assertion that he had always been
opposed to bond issue.
Bavis made a vigorous defense of the
proposed bond issue, which has been
endorsed by the Commercial club, stat
ing that for years the city government
had delayed providing for necessary
permanent improvements, and that
thousands of dollars had been wasted
in pursuing such policy by tempo

EATON man BLOWS
TOP OF HEAD OFF
Pulling Trigger With Foot
James Ortt Fires Double
Charge Into Mouth.

EATON, O., Feb. 27.-Parts of his
head and brain were blown about in
two rooms when James Ortt, about So
years old, killed himself late Friday
afternoon at his home, Lincoln and
High streets. The muzzle of double
barrel shotgun was placed in his
mouth. With his right foot Ortt pulled
strings tied to the triggers, and sent
the contents of both barrels crashing
through his brain. With the excep-
ton Of a small part Of the skull in
the rear and his lower jaw, the mans
head was blown off entirely.
Mrs. Ortt, who was at the stable
milking, heard the report Of the gun
and FASTENED into the house. Three
physicians were soon on the scene,
but medical attention was out of the
question.
Ortt had been i'll for the last three
weeks, but according to his wife and
attending physician he had never in.

FARCE BY REBEKAHS
SURPRISES OFFICERS

NEW PARIS, O., Feb. 27.-Lodges
here are very active, many socials hav-
ing been given recently. Monday night
the Daughters Of Rebekah celebrated
Washington's birthday by a roll call
meeting, each member answering to
her name with the first poem ever
memorized. This created much merri-
ment, one member reciting a Dutch
poem.
At the opening of the lodge the noble
grand was much surprised by the alb
sence of ten of her faithful, but was
cheered later by their appearance one
by one, clothed in colonial style. They
pretended to be members of an out-of-
town lodge, who were only here to
visit, and as the whole was a farce
arranged without the knowledge of the
noble grand, Mrs. Nellie Bice, it was
thoroughly enjoyed. About forty mem.
bers were present, and at the close Of
lodge a social season was enjoyed and
refreshments were served.

said he could afford to pay his own
assessment, but he said it would work
great hardship to nearly all the
churches situated on that thorough
fare, notably st. Mary's Catholic, of
which he is a member He said that
parish was staggering under a debt OF
over $4,000. He said that he had cor
trlbuted $4,000 to the church since
the Rev. Father Cronin had assumed
the rectorship.
Would Annoy Churches.
Mr.. Stott repeated his assertion that
paved street would be a source of
great annoyance to church goers by
the noise of traffic passing over the
bricks. He said that he knew street
paving could not be paid for under the
law out of the general fund, but he
thought that the law might be amend
ed to incorporate such a provision.
This brought forth the somewhat caus-
tic comment of President Bavis that
if the new Improvements equal to
those provided during the last six
years were to be paid for out of the
general fund, it would be necessary to
increase the tax rate IS cents on the
S10O.
The suggestion of DR.. Johnston and
Mr.. Foley that some section of North
A street might be scarified was dis
missed by Marlatt with the statement
that there was not enough material on
the street for 1t to be scarified.
