TRAVIS PRESENTS
BOOKS TO LOCAL LIBRARY

Last Thursday afternoon Capt.
Iryen Travis presented two books to
the Kate Simpson Love library
which were the works Of Frederick
s. Dellenbaugh of New York City.
The presentation was made at the
home of Miss Jessie Wells, in the
presence of those directly interested
in the management of the~ local IL
brary. and some others who were
invited, in all about Is being pres
ent. The circumstances leading up
to the presentation of the books,
read like good book in itself. Mr..
Travis in his very capable, happy
and witty manner in which he re-
viewed the various Chapters .
made the occasion a most interest
ing one for all Of those present.
In the July issue of the Pitts
burgh Sunday Press, there appeared
an illustrated article which Mr..
Travis chanced to/see. (This article
was published in full in the Demo-
crat of Aug. A. The opening par
agraph was what attracted Mr..
Travis attention. 1t read: Life
might have been easy for Frederick
S. Dellenbaugh. Born in McConnels-
Vile, O., he came from a well-to-do
family and until. he was full
grown youth he was educated and
lived in comfortable home. But
when he was Is years old he found
chance for adventure-and took
it,
''Born in McConnelsville." That
was the scent that started Mr.. Trav-
is along the trail, to find out "who
was Dellenbaugh.' He could not
remember Of evey hearing that
name. The thought came to him
that perhaps someone had been To-
Gated here temporarily, when this
man was born. Writing to the ed
itor Of the paper, which carried the
article, he was assured that there
was no error as to the place OF. birth
of Mr.. Dellenbaugh, and Mr.. Travis
was sent his New York address.
Writing Mr.. Dellenbaugh a letter,
Mr.. Travis received prompt reply.
and from that time on number of
letters were exchanged.
Mr.. Travis read the various let
ters he received from Mr.. Dellen-
baugh; and while Mr.. Travis had
been greatly delighted in hearing
from his newly acquired New York
friend, judging from the tone of the
Dellenbaugh letters to Travis, Mr..
Dellenbaugh was equally we'll pleas
ed-if any difference, perhaps even
more so. In the letters it was
learned that Mr. Dellenbaugh was
born here Sept. 13, 1853, in the
brick house now owned by F. w.
Cochran, near the river; lived there
about a year-unti, the river came
up and flooded it, WHEN his father
sold the property for less than he
had paid for; it, moved to George
town. o., and later to Buffalo, N. Y.
record here in the recorders office,
which Mr. Travis had looked up. In
the exchange of letters Mr. Travis
learned that among other things
Mr.. Dellenbaugh was an author
that he had written six books and
at present Is writing another which
will not be completed for about u
year. A set of these books he Of
fered to send to Mr.. Travis, to be
presented by him to our library. He
stated that some of his books were
out of print, and that it would be
necessary to go out and locate cop
les of such, from those who would
part with them. In this he has evil

Suffers Loss
In Tax Collections

1881. Highway collections last
month totaled $1,S91,907.69, as
compared with $2,2So,591.32 in
December 1881.
Maxwell said the decrease in
general fund receipts was almost
entirely due to the fact franchise
tax collections which were made in
December, 1881, were paid earlier
this fiscal year.
In the highway fund receipts,
sales of licenses accounted for
$645,S24.89 in revenue last month,
compared with $ssS,561.76 from
this source in December, 1881.
The report came within two days
of the converting of the 1888 Cen
eral Assembly-which must meet
the problem of declining revenue
in its efforts to balance the budget.
