OBITUARY

Mrs. Elizabeth Trissel, nee Field
man, widow of the late Henry Trissel,
was born May %, 1910, at GrOsheim,
Germany. Her Christian parents
had her consecrated to the Lord in
holy baptism when in her infancy,
and in accordance to the custom of
the Lutheran church she received
good training and at the usual age of
IA years was confirmed in the Evan

When "a years of age she left her
native country and came to America.
AS near as can be learned she settled
in Kentucky in the neighborhood of

was the issue of this union. Her hus-
band died in the first year of their
married life while serving as SOL
dier in the Civil War. The follow
ing year she became the wife Of Hen
ry Trissel who had also served as a
soldier in the Civil War. This un-
ion was blessed with seven children,
four of whom preceded their mother
to the grave. In the spring of 1870
the family came to Mercer county and
lived on a farm near Chattanooga.
In February 1896 Mr.. Trissel died,
leaving the mother to care for her
children. She made her home at
Chattanooga where she lived for 16
years. Last September she suffered
a slight stroke of paralysis which left
her in ill health. Since last October

George Springer, where she was ten
derly cared for until her death. The

BANKING FACILITIES UNUSUAL,

Cleveland, the home Of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank for the Fourth Dis
trict, is large and important banking
center. The total deposits in CleVe-
land banks on September 18th, 1916,
we're $455 100000, or more than one
third the total deposits in all the
banks of Ohio. On September 3Oth,
1915, Cleveland savings deposits alone
amounted to $247, 100000, approx
mately $3.50 per capita.
The diversity of Cleveland indus
tries is a great factor in stabilizing
local financial conditions. Temper
ary depressions in one class Of indus
tries are generally offset by prosper
GUS conditions in other lines.

er will play the role of her screen
parent, and even If you miss the in
PRODUCTION Of the characters, you will
know 1t at once, for there never was
a stronger likeness between two wom-
en-. Ella Hall is just her mother over
again, only twenty years younger.
In the next Bluebird photoplay In
which Miss Hall is starred, and which
Is called "a Jewel in Pawn" Mrs.
Hall plays the mother who leaves her
little daughter as a pledge in pawn
shop. When she makes her first ap-
pearance on the screen the majority
Of the audience will think that she Is
Ella, playing a double role, and later
hey will imagine that they are looking
at the most wonderful double exposure
work ever taken for the films. AS a
matter Of fact, the resemblance be-
tween the mother and daughter is un-
usually striking, and it adds great real
ISM to a picture which is absolutely
charming from the first scene to the
last. Walter Belasco, a brother of the
great producer, gives n lifelike por-
Tayal Of the old pawnbroker, and An
rim Short is excellent as the newsboy
champion of Nora, the little girl played
by Miss Hall.

THE HIGH CLASS MUNICIPAL
SERVICE OF CLEVELAND.

Cleveland has been called the best
governed city of America. 1t has
never been under the control of an un-
principled political ring, and has kept
abreast of the times in matters OF
civic improvement and public service.
The active and organized interest OF
Cleveland citizens in the city's affairs
insures the continuance Of good gov
ernment. The Cleveland police force
Is noted throughout the country, and
its work is being extended to meet
the needs Of the rapidly growing city.
The fire department has been equal
to every emergency For the past six
years only four cities Of over 100000
population have had a per capita fire
loss smaller than Cleveland's. High
pressure water mains placed through
out the downtown business district
have reduced to a minimum the dan
ger Of serious confagration
Cleveland has $50 miles Of paved
streets, the thoroughfares being ex-
ceptionally broad and straight. An
extensive street improvement program
will shortly be put into effect
Three cent Hght-The municipal
electric light plant supplies electric
current to private homes at the rate
Of three cents per k. W. h., and to
factories at lower rates, fixed accord
ing to power requirements.
Three cent fare-The street rail
way system, privately owned but un-
der municipal supervision, carries pas
sengers all over Cleveland for three
cent fare. This has proved an impor-
tant factor in preventing congestion OF
population in the heart Of the city.

urer Of the Universal company, to the
general manager of Universal City the

and also to the choir of Bethel and
to those that assisted in
taking care of the grave.

SOME DRY SUGGESTIONS

Somehow, l looke1 at the calendar
wrong; it is mex. Sunday, May IL,
when you are 10 bring in your egg
money or it's equivalent in cash.
The preachers are going out in
teams to help the dry cause. Why
are the preachers always called upon?
hey are just as bl%J as other men.
They stand for morality and right
eousness. and if they fail to speak
out against an evil of such proper
tions they dishOnor their calling. But
there ought to be teams OF other call
iAgs as well. One OF school teachers,
for instance. No class of persons
know better the injurious effects of
alcohol than they. Where the sa-
looms are, they have delinquencies,
disease, want and misery to contend
with that others know nothing of.
There then should be a business
mems team. For every drink that
goes down a mans throat is just that
much less in their tills.
BY all means let's have team of
lawyers to stump the county. OF all
men they are the best posted as to
how to keep the laws and what is
most hurtful in failure to do so.
We are defeated from year to year
because the liquor forces have so
many people intimidated and whipp-
ed before the fight begins.

The first public marriage ceremony
solemnized in st. Johns Lutheran
church in this city followed directly
after the mornings services last Sun
day, when Miss Emma Norman be-
came the bride of Bernard Legant
and the wedding was one of extreme
beauty and interest. The stately ed
ifice enhanced the solemnity and dig
nifty of the nuptial event which was
witnessed by the congregation and
friends of the contracting parties.
The officiating clergyman, Rev.
Reit2 used the ring ceremony and the
wedding vows were mutually pledged
while the young couple knelt before
the altar.
The bride, who is the oldest daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Moorman,
was gowned in white satin, lace trim
med. with draped tulle veil and she
carried bridal roses. She was attend.
ed by her sister, Miss Nora Moorman,
who wore a turquoise blue crepe with
picture hat to match and she also
carried roses. The groom was at
tended by Charles Moorman, broth
er of the bride.
After the ceremony a party of sew
enty guests were welcomed to the
of the Norman home
where the wedding dinner was serv-
ed in pleasing abundance.
Mr.. and Mrs. Legant left in the af-
ternoon for a few days visit at Col
umbus. Upon their return they will
reside at their home five and one-half
miles southwest of Celina.
Those present were:
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Seegar and

soon as he was ready for work he
was placed in the Paris l.. and n

been since then. He has gradually
risen from time to time until he holds
one of the most responsible positions
in that Office. Some years ago he

missioner of Agriculture Mat S. Cohen,
Chairman of the State Live Stock

the board with representatives of the

regard to cooperative efforts for the
control of all contagious diseases
among animals.

the State 100000 in 1912, and Com
missioner Cohen said they agreed on
a plan of work which he believes will
be effective. 1t has to be sent to
washington for approval.
Since 1912 hog cholera has been re-
duced about half, principally due u
the rigid inspection and disinfection of
stock cars during the fight against
foot and mouth disease. The Ken
lucky department endeavored to coli
tinue the practice, but could not get
the cooperation of the Government
and other States.

PROMISES TO DEPUTY NOT
AGAINST CORRUPT PRACTICE ACT

Candidates for county Offices, par
ticularly that of Sheriff, are getting
ready to admit, not to say promise,
their constituents that they will ap-
point so-and-so deputies, and the good
news is reaching them that they can
do this without violating the provisions
OF the Corrupt Practices Act. Many
candidates for county offices, such aS
Sheriff, Assessor, etc., have been in
quiring of Attorney General Logan
whether arrangements, by which a
prospective deputy runs along with
his principal for the Office, are lille
gal. General Logan has come to the
conclusion that it is all right and not
prohibited by the act. The quid PRO
quo for the appointment is not the
vote of the promised deputy, but the
more or less speculative support of Il
section of the constituency, to whom
the personality of the deputy appeals,
and since it brings TO public notice
the character of appointments the can
didates will make engendering the OPP
position of those who disapprove as
we'll as winning the support of such
as are satisfied, the moral principles
Of the statutes are not transgressed.
The bill as originally drawn contained
language which might have affected
this, the best bid for popular support
local candidates have discovered.

FOUR CANDIDATES FOR JAILER
DIE IN NICHOLAS COUNTY

Evidently it is not a healthy matte
TO seek the nomination for Jailer o.
Nicholas County, as four of the pros
pective candidates for that office have
died recently. Each OF the candidates
was sick but a short time or died sue
denly.
E. d. Scott, who was prospective
candidate for the nomination, died
while driving to Carlisle one Court
Day. Polk Bowen, another candidate,
died a few weeks ago after a short
illness. Jailer M. NJ. Brothers, who
was a candidate for reelection, was
stricken with paralysis, and lived bu,
few days after he was first taken
ill. Mr. Mike Flora, of near Myers,
another candidate, died Saturday, after
a short illness of double pneumonia.
resulting from a bad cold.
But there is another corps of candi
dates coming into the field, apparently
undeterred by the seeming fatality
that attends the candidacy for the
office.
