Findlay and to-day he is worth which he made by dealing in gas lands This is more than he could have made by fifty years service in the treasury of the United States at the salary which he was working

tremendous roaring was heard in the clouds like the rumbling of railroad train going over a bridge or a tornado through a forest It was evidently currents of wind meeting a few dreds of feet above the earth Hud the currents been on the surface of the earth no doubt many buildings of Delta would have been An ordinance has been passed by the village Council giving the Paulding Gas Oil Company The privilege of laying pipes in the streets and alleys of our town for the purpose of con- natural gas if gas is struck along the and in consideration for the same the Company agrees lo furnish gas if a sufficient quantity is obtained to light lamps for the sum of eight dollars a year each the village Thinking that perhaps the opinions of several of our leading business men upon the proposed Memorial its style of construction location etc would be interesting reading to our pat rons we subjoin the following sions upon the T S lil haven't thought much about the subject The ors however ought to so construct the building that people will notice it and realize why it was built A I think it a grand take to place business rooms in that hall If they have a legal right to build it in one of the parks there is where it should go without a The ple are willing to contribute liberally to a building of that kind out they want it to look like a memorial hall when it is completed and not like a mercantile block J S 1 consider the idea of business rooms in the proposed memorial hall highly erroneous We don't want anything of the kind If the people intend to expend money for a memorial hall they want something which they can get into without ing into and fourth stories One of the parks is the place for the hall and if the money that will be paid out for the lots spoken of is invested properly with a little more added to it the income will be entirely sufficient to meet the expenses I say to you that if D C May Hi Mu EDITOR Iti casting about for a suitable header to introduce the ad- ministration reform movements of the week your correspondent was about to transcribe a selection from Pollock's description of the hypocrite but upon reflection il seems too severe on the hypocrite to associate him with these reformers Pollock's man was a saint compared with those though The rottenness of his heart was easily There arc still a few old clerks left who are known to have licans in former years but who were not perniciously active in politics of late years and against whom no charges can be formulated that would convince even Mr Higgins that they were offensive partisans There appeared to be no way to get rid of these clerks and give their places to Democrats and rebels until the Civil Service Commissioners appeared upon the scene with a new rule These functionaries have a rule that in order lo make promotions of clerks in the ments from any grade all the clerks of that grade must appear for nation and those who fail to make the necessary seventy-five per cent will be placed on a separate This business boom which has spread so rapidly over Northwestern Ohio is no doubl partly speculative as values have increased too rapidly for the growth to be purely normal That then will be H reaction sooner or later is the sion readied by men who have been observers of such business activity Yet where everything is taken into con- sideration there is a solid Foundation for much of the push ami energy dis played in the gas and oil districts This part of Ohio has a soil as productive us can be found in any part of the country and until

hall will be spoiled I told one of the directors that I would give wards it if they would locate it in one of the parks If they want the building to be conspicuous they must isolate it M I think it ought to be located in one of the parks It would than look more like a monument than a business block would W H I think the ial hall here should be located in one of the parks where everybody can go into it without climbing three or four ways The ground would cost nothing and besides that the building would be an ornament to the park I will sub- scribe considerable more stock if the building were

Springfield casually dropped down on the people of Antwerp a week ago yesterday and after a few hours observation began making self obnoxious in divers ways Fearing that he might in his thirst for notoriety court harm the Mayor of that place telegraphed Governor Foraker to know if he had sent Norris there Re- an answer in the affirmative he immediately telegraphed back that he had better take him away as Antwerp had no use for him The result was that Mr Norris took the hint that his room was more acceptable than his com- pany and about 11 o'clock that same night made his exit by means of

good one The business rooms en the first floor are all right in my judgment would you think of locating it in one of the parks where it would be conspicuous with beautiful surroundings and it would remind everyone who sees it that it is a building outside of the ordinary and that it is erected to the memory of mir dead and living heroes of the late Well indeed I haven't of thai Perhaps it would lie better to give it more prominence by giving il characteristics peculiar to itself I will think more about it and let you know Col I X Its all right to put business rooms on the first floor The third and fourth floors can be by the military companies and the G A post and a library room We need a library in this town very again examined and if they again fail to moke the necessary per cent they will be dropped entirely from the rolls The avowed purpose of this rule as claimed by the Baltimore Sun and other Democratic papers is to weed out of the departments the dead wood to wit persons appointed under Re- publican administrations simply as a reward for who perform their duties so well that uo excuse is given to discharge them for From the Baltimore Sun it further a Department official who is in a position to know what is talking says that under a strict enforcement of the ncv regulations at least of the old government employees whose appointments were doubtless mere rewards for some political service will be dismissed What are the mugwumps doing who voted for Mr Cleveland because he posed before the people as a civil service reformer Like Pollock's hypocrite With one hand he put a penny in the urn of Civil Service Reform and with the other took a shilling until there is nothing left of the Civil Service Reform Law but the enacting clause When he pointed Messrs Edgerton and avowed enemies of the law as Com- missioners to execute it he showed his sincerity as a reformer Under Republican administrations in caring for them Especially do our j farmers sec that

Arthur's the Civil vice Reform law was honestly and airly executed None but friends of the law like B Eaton Profs Gregory and were appointed Democrats anil Re- publicans had an equal chance for appointment and were so appointed nor was there any attempt by cither to conceal his politics after his pointment Now how is it under this boasted reform For the last 18 the few remaining licans in
