HOskinsyille

There is a little village in Noble
county by the name of Hoskinsville
that was the scene of a sensational
matter during the Civil war. A pri-
vate in Co. G, 18th 0. V. l., had de-
serted, and on his person was found
a letter written to him by r. w.
Brown of Hoskinsville, a school
teacher, in which the war and the
administration were denounced and
the soldier advised to desert. A u.
S. marshal was sent to Hoskinsville
to arrest Brown. He returned re-
porting that he found Brown pro-
tected by mere than 100 armed men.
Thereupon Capt. L. II. Hake of
the 115th o. V. /. was sent with
Companies B and H of that regi-
ment to Hoskinsville to arrest
Brown and his associates in resist
ance to the government. At the ap-
proach of the military Brown and
his defenders fed to the woods.
Captain Hake spent three days
securing the county and arresting
those who had been defending
Brown.
With his prisoners he returned to

A Breathing Spell

If ever man earned vacation
President Roosevelt has. Never has
a president worked harder than he
since he assumed office few
months ago. His energy and in
dustry and endurance are the mar
vel of all who have observed him.
The presidency is a.. man-killing
job at best. Only one ex-president
survives.
In the early days of the republic
presidents were older than they are
nowadays and they lived much
longer after retirement. There was
plenty of work to keep them occu-
pied, of course, but government was
simple and limited in its operations.
The day of regulation had not ar
rived.
Mr.. Roosevelt assumed the presf-
dency at its worst, SO to speak
more specifically at its most diff
cult. The appalling economic de-
preston was at its worst. The bank
holiday was on. The public stood

Beet Bill RetardS Farm Foreclosures

Farmers whose properties are
about to be foreclosed upon may re-
ceive assistance from the court, now
that the Best bill has been enacted
into law by the Ohio Legislature.
The Act empowers court before
which foreclosure proceedings are
brought against real property, to
order that the sale be postponed and
that action to enforce collection of
the debt or to recover possession be
restrained, until such time as the
court DEGREES.
Time of restraint extends to the
first day of February, 1885. The
court may order liquidation when
ever such action may be, in the
courts opinion, just and equitable.
In no case is postponement al
lowed if current taxes and interest
are not paid A full hearing before
the court, that merits of each case
may be determined, is provided by
the law.
1t is hoped, says DR.. ]. I. Falcon
er, chief of the department of rural
economics at the Ohio State Uni
versity, that the act will check un-
scrupulous foreclosures
He says the necessity for the act
lay in the fact that foreclosure sales
in these times of economic depres-
sion result in sacrificing properties
at low prices that often do not brin G
sufficient funds to discharge the
debt.
