BURGLARIES
Pettisville, WauseOn and Delta Levied
Upon Within Five Days-GrOceries
Narcotics and Eggs Constitute Plum
der Taken-All Tracks Lead To-
ward Toledo.

Interesting but not pleasant, to
the persons victimized, especially in
these days of rapidly advancing prices
are the burglaries which have occur
red in Fulton county during the past
week; within five days three build
ings nave been entered and property
taken therefrom. The program began
last Friday night when the general
store of Rychener Brothers at Pettis-
vile was entered and IL pairs of shoes
20 pounds of butter, 10 pounds of
coffee, 5 pounds of bacon, 1900 cigars,
a calabash pipe and IL neckties were
taken therefrom. The burglars car
ried off their loot in an auto which on
account of odd tires on the various
wheels enabled the officers to track
them east toward Toledo until a well
travelled stone road with a hard sur
face made further trailing impossible
This suggests that the "auto-burglars
association" which seems to have
headquarters in Toledo might contri-
butte the "good roads" movement in
this section by insisting on a hard
surface being specified for inter-coun-
ty highways and main market roads,
they might even contribute a little
money toward paying for roads so
constructed which they use in their
business.
The second number in the series was
staged in Wauseon and the indications
are that there was but a single per-
former. The drug store of Fink &
Haumesser was entered some time
Saturday night or early Sunday morn
ing and about $500 worth of marco
tics taken, evidences show that the
party came for the purpose of getting
a supply of "dope" and knew just
where in the store to look for it. This
party also seemed to think he could
"do better in Toledo" and left Wau-
seon for that city early Sunday morn
ing.
The third and last number in the
series up to date took place at Del
ia Tuesday night when the Delta
branch of the Rural Egg Company
was entered and four cases of nice
fresh eggs each individual egg nice
ly stamped with a little rubber stamp
impression were taken by the burg
lars, probably by auto to Toledo to
"do better"
The series has been one sided so far
but the officers will have their innings
later on and possibly they will run
up score that will take the pennant
in this country at least.

FROM THE COURTS
Thirty Day Race Between The Pro-
bate and Common Pleas COurts-Di-
vOrce Cases New Cases-Petit
Jury on Duty Monday October 23rd.

From the seventeenth of September
to the seventeenth of October, so we
are informed the Probate Court of
Fulton county issued sixteen mar
riage licenses; during the same thir-
ty days ten divorce cases were filed
IN the court of Common Pleas. Six
teen to teen is not ratio to be proud
of in this connection Bryan's old Free
Silver ratio Of 16 to 1 would be bet
ter. However the fault lies not with
the courts or the lawyers, but with
the people who for some reason or
reasons fail to make a success of
matrlmony. Magazine writer's galore
have spread gallons of ink on this
subject of matrimony eugenics, do
nestle science, marriage laws and
the anathemas of the churches have
all been brought to bear on the sub
ject, and still people keep on marry
ing and trying to get unmarried and
the courts get them at both ends of
the line. The welfare of this coun-
try depends not so much upon the
multitude of laws that may be en-
acted nor upon the politician and
the reform agitator that go about
seeking whom they may-annex, as
it does upon the homes of the land
in which one man and one woman are
working together in real comradeship
to build for themselves and their
children conditions of happiness well
being and sane living. 1t is up to the
young people of this country to take
account of themselves and each other
and be content with the other as a
work fellow and partner in the bust
ness of living and each determine to
do faithfully and Loyalty their part
before they enter into a relationship
which binds them together as one
Mistakes will undoubtedly be made,
but they ought not come in a ratio
of ten to sixteen.
Three divorce cases were before the
common pleas court this week two on
Wednesday and one on Friday and
three more are among the new cases
filed in court this week: Thomas
Riches VS. Mary Ann Riches, divorce.
Ruth L. Russell VS. VIM. ]. Russell,
alimony. Mable Barnes VS. Lewis
Barnes, divorce and equitable relief
One other new case filed is that of
Calvin L. Reed VS. Stephen E. Bisson-
nette, money only, amount claimed

REPUBLICAN COUNTY CAMPAIGN
Township Meetings Well Attended Much Enthusiasm
Over the County Governor Willis, Senator Hale
of Maine and Congressman Mic. Longworth
of Ohio in WauseOn Next Week

The present week has been a busy
one for the Republican Executive
Committee, four township rallies have
been held this week and a full sche-
dule for next week arranged. Meet
lngs were held at the town hall at
Zone, IN Franklin township on Mon
day night, at Haller school house in
North York on Tuesday evening, at
Grange Hall, Bradley, in East Swan
Creek on Wednesday night and at
the voting place in South York. on
thursday night, at each of the first
three of these places the house of
meeting was filled to its capacity and
the crowds were enthusiastic and
every one of the meetings resulted in
adding votes for the straight RepubI-
can ticket. The issues of this cam
paign were presented by various
members of the party of candidates
for office on the county ticket, and
the old spirit of Republican good fel-
lowship was revived.
Two big meetings are scheduled for
Wauseon next week: Governor Willis
will speak at the court house at 9:3O
Wednesday morning and as this will
be the last opportunity Of hearing Mr..
Willis in Fulton county during the
campaign there will be a crowd from
all over the county to greet him.
Appropos of Governor Willis cam
paign for reelection; the emissaries
of the State Democratic Committee
have put in circulation of bogus peti-
tions asking Governor Willis not to
repeal the Workmen's Compensation
Act thus putting a false internreta-
ton on the position of the Governor
relativeto that act, the following state
ment from Chairman Hatfield of the
Republican State Central Committee
is self explanatory:
Reliable reports from over the
state of bogus petitions circulated by
Democratic emissaries indicate the
desperate straits to which the Cox
organization has been forced in its
endeavor to misrepresent the position
of the Willis administration on the
Workmen's Compensation Act 1t
will not succeed because of the intelli-
gence of Ohio voters.
Into the office of the Republican
State Executive Committee there came
voluntarily today a Democrat who
was of much influence on the Senate
Labor Committee at the time of the
passage of this Act. In justice to
/ Governor Willis, he said he wished
to say that he had talked freely with
Senator Green at the time of the con-
ference at the home of Governor Cox
at which the Senator was compelled
to accept the amendment under which
| private companies now write compen-
