The County Commissioners have
done nothing as yet toward adjusting
the recent loss of $500 worth of
bonds belonging to the Old Phoenix
National Bank Of Medina.
At first it was understood that the
commissioners accepted full response
bility but now it seems they do not,
since they have stated their purpose
to pass resolution for requisition
on county funds. It is unknown, how
ever, whether they have done so, as
the resolution does not appear on
their journal. They have also re-
tained Attorney Arthur VanEpp as
counsel.
The following communication to
the commissioners from Prosecuting
Attorney Jos. A. Seymour, places the
liability for the loss with the board:

of note In the literary and the Juvenile world
than the Mappe of Fairyland, designed and

wide. just the right size to fit the children's

clearly drawn that you cannot possibly mis-
take 1t. The only one we could not find was
Tom Thumb. and that was only because as

there, only he was too small to draw.

Fame
BY SAMUEL HOFFENSTEIN.

Rather than that the dust should gag
The song too, when the singer is still
To clutch the tail Of the world and wag
Upon its will;
To hang upon its hayward tongue
Rather than sleep the slain among.
To walk abroad at spectre-time
Rather than stay securely laid,
And move, a rumor and a rhyme,
In action s shade;
TO thrust at nothing with a name
The Struggling generations game.
To cheat the dust in the hollow throat,
Live in the windy mouths of men,
And in the stupid schoolboy's rote
Be born again;
To rear a shelter in the air
And thence tn assault of death to dare
Oh, silly heart; oh, scheming brain!
The pallid pillars of the breath,
Time S love and laud are surely vain
'Gainst conquering Death
And yet how beautiful the strife
Of passionate Life desiring Life!
