CHAPTER II.
PART OF THE TRUTH COMES OUT

Eric was IL years old when his aunt,
in a fit Of annoyance, brought on by
his throwing q stone at the fleeing tor
mentor, Chetwynd. told him that his
father was q murderer, and that he
was likely to become one himself un-
less he mended his ways.
1t was h first he knew Of that
tragic episode in the life Of his blithe
father. The blow was so crushing that
he was a long time In coming to the
full realization Of its force. He skunk
off, dazed. bewildered. frightened.
Chetwynd's taunting laugh pursued
him as he made his way blindly
through the yard to the street below.
That WIS but. the beginning. They
had held 1t back as long as 1t was in
their natures to do so. The great won
der lies in the fact that they refrained
at all. Little Mary was not slow to
observe the sudden change in her
brother. A curious depression, an UNI

knew that there was something in his
mind which he would not reveal to
her.
He was but IL. He possessed not

which confronted him. He could not

could go. It came over him suddenly
that he was deprived Of ali that was

world. In his small. cropping mind, he

clearly, let US listen to the words of a
very wise modern teacher: "Most of
US are mounted. We may not be rid
ing in coach and six, but each one
has at least what the Samaritan had,
a small Syrian donkey under him. We
have some money, more than enough
to suffice for actual needs. We have
homes, not palaces perhaps, but plac-
es of peace and comfort-and it is a
great help to man in making the
journey of life to be mounted on a
good home. We have intelligence
not so much as we wish, but enough
to be of great service. We have some
measures of goodness nothing pranc-
ing or snowy, but like the Samaritan's
donkey, plain, quiet, useful, everyday
goodness
Now, this is all-sufficient. Neigh
borliness is crown decked with many
precious stones, adorning the heads of
those who have come down from their
high places to help others who could
not reach the end of their journeys
without their friendly lift. Kindness
then is that warm personal feeling
that extends it's mantle over all senti-
ent beings, whether men or animals.

beginning of this season of vexation
and sorrow, we wish to know it eyery

BEAL LAW ELECTION
Election Under Beal Law to be Held
in Wause0n Friday January 18th
The Question as to Whether Wau.
seon Shall Remain Dry Up to the
Citizens.

Next week Friday the question al
to whether or not saloons shall be
admitted to Wauseon will be settled
by the voters of the Village and il
is up to every voter to go to the polls
and register his opinion in regard te
the matter. 1t is for each individual
to determine what is best for the
greatest number in our community
and having reached an honest convic.
tion on this point to put aside per-
sonal prejudices and vote in accord.
ance with that conviction. The rec
ord of the past six years without sa.
looms in Wauseon is to be taken into
consideration.
From our point of view that rec
ord furnishes conclusive evidence that
it is to the best interests and greatest
goodfof the greatest number in Wau-
con, that Wauseon should remain
without saloons. We believe that the
business interests as a whole of the
village are in better shape and more
successful in every way without sa-
looms than they were with them. We
know that there are fewer homes that
suffer for the necessities Of life Sand
more that enjoy the comforts without
the saloons than with them. We know
that hidden sorrows that gnaw at the
hearts of women and little children
and blight and embitter their lives
come where the saloon is permitted to
pursue it's traffic. Because we believe
and know these things we shall vote
against permitting the licensed sa.
loon to come to Wauseon; we hope
that every voter in the village will
give this matter his serious con.
sideration and by no means fail to GO
to the polls on Friday the 18th and
register his opinion on this matter
that opinion being based on his hon.
est conviction as to what is right and
best. There was general under
standing in the minds Of many at the
time the petitions were circulated
that they would not be presented tc
tual move on the part of someone
to. secure license and start a sa-
loon in this village. No such move
so far as we know has been made
but for some reason unknown to us
those having the petitions in charge
presented them to the council and the
Mayor has proclaimed the election
However the situation came to be
makes little vital difference, the ques-
tion is before the citizens and must
be met. it cannot be met by indiffer-
ence or bv staying at home every
voter should vote on this question now
that it is before us. We hope that the
result will be that Wauseon will re.
main dry.

WHY NOT DO
SOMETHING PRACTICAL

If the government wants to do some
thing of real value to the country,
let it create a farm loan department
in connection with it's postal banks,
through which money may be bor-
rowed on gilt edge real estate securi-
ty at the rate government bonds draw,
'2k to per cent, then use these mort
cages as a basis on which to issue the
currency to be loaned. This would
give circulating medium as good as
goldTthere is no better security than
the homes of rural communities sand
would give the farmers money to use
in their business at rates of interest
enjoyed by other more favored class
es of industry. In turn the local
banks would reap the benefits from
the increased circulation and could
take care of the short time loans
through any stress that might over
take the community. The local mer-
chants would benefit and the whole
business world would take on new life.
This plan might not suit the sfenan-
ceers" of Wall street, who have not
only shorn the lamb, but skinned him
to frazzle, but it would suit the
farmers, who ought to be first in con-
sideration by the government which
the said farmers have built up and
preserved.

sewer on Superior and Main streets

ing become so filled with tree roots
that it fails to carry off the sewage;
a number of the southside residents
were present to back up their petition
with recital of their experience with
water in their cellars and their know
ledge Of the condition Of the sewer.
The petition was referred to the
Sewer Committee for immediate in
vestigation and report at the next
meeting of the Council.
Mr.. ]. @. Files representing certain
property owners on the Hickory,
Wood, Third and Mulberry streets
Improvement and Mr.. F. S. Ham re-
presenting the Wabash Railroad COM
pany were present to protest on be-
half of their clients against assess
ments reported by the latest assess
ing board on above improvement.

this improvement was elected from
property owners and Attorneys pre-
sent and it was finally agreed by the
Council that the matter should be
taken up at an adjourned meeting of
the Council to be held on Monday
evening January 11th, at which time
the matter will be adjusted. The

tion, making known their willingness
to make a ten per cent abatment
from all assessments reported by the

OLD CHERRY CREEK MAY
YIELD WEALTH AGAIN

If there are any pessimists in
Cherry Creek they are in hiding. A
satisfactory outcome of litigation
that has put a damper on the camp
for the last siN months was effect
ed last Tuesday, when the Nevada
Star Mines company paid out $l2,-
600 to forty lien claimants and
freed the old-time silver properties
hal have produced millions in the
past from legal complications, says
the White Pine News.
Since the principal corporation
that is operating in the old silver
camp was able to meet its obliga-
lions the atmosphere seems to be
surcharged with optimism. Every
body in the camp feels like ready
money"
The dominant factors in the Star
company at Leeds, England, have
passed the word across the ocean that
operations will ne shortly res IIred
on the mineral holdings at Cherry
Creek. Although the suspension of
operations at the outbreak of the
war in Europe threatened to paralyze
the mining industry at Cherry Creek
the outlook for the future promises
to more than offset any temporary
losses that were incurred.
Since its discovery in the early
70's Cherry Creeks career has sim
ply been a tale of one misfortune az
ter another. The downward trend in
the price of silver caused a large por-
ton of the population to seek more
prosperous climes, but the faithful
ones remained. hoping that through
some sort of necromancy the camp
might once more regain it's pristine
glory.
The pioneers were doomed to wait
for more than % years before ont
side capital was available for the eX-
ploitation of the silver belt. The
Glasgow & Western Exploration
company purchased the Star and
Gray Eagle mines in 1897 and Gre
ated a boom of no small proportions.
Cherry Creek fiutterd for a brief
period among the flourishing COM
munities and hen lapsed into quie-
tude. The Scotch company did moth
ing for II years except keep the
main shaft free of water. With the
consolidation of the Glasgow & West
ern and the Nevada British com
panies residents of the once famous
community realized that the mining
prospects are more encouraging than
at any time since silver was selling
at par.
