Vanduzen, then a .young man of about 23 years of age, but now the head Of the firm, .The old bell was made of a composition .of Copper and tin very much like the composition o f bell metal of today. The bell was short lived. After do- ■ittg service, for about five years, it was accidentally cracked, and was re­ turned to the firm in exchange for the present bell which was purchased in 1853, and which for almost fifty years has pealed forth regularly the hours of praise and prayer. Rev. H . I’. Jackson, a son o f the congregation pays the old hell the following poetic tribute; “ A large bell wasliungon the Unit* ed Presbyterian church a t Cedarville, in January 1847 (or near that date.) I t being the first bell of any kind huog in the village, I will give it my tribute in the following lines: T he O ld C uvr C h B ell .

The new well will be pu t down about twenty feet from the old gas well and will be an eight inch bore. The. contracting company has their p lan t on the grounds and have commenced work. I t is expected that the well/will be a t least four hundred feet deep. When a t this depth \ the well is to be shot with dynamite. I f a good supply of water is found the company will be highly satisfied, for during the sum­ mer months when "the water in the creek is low the old -well does not sup­ ply the required amount. Work will he carried on during both day and night until completed. “ 1 had a most stubborn cough for many years. It deprived me of sleep aiid I grew very thin.

Council meeting was .,one of more than usual Interest Monday night, yet there were fewer citizens present than generally. The new code that goes into effect May, 1903, has caused councils all over-the state to re-affix the bonds and salaries of city and vil­ lage officials. A t the meeting Mon­ day night Messrs. Denu, Irvin and Northup were appointed as n com­ mittee to fix salaries and bonds of the incoming officials. AH salaries re-, main the same except that of street commissioner, it being placed a t 81.50 per day over 81,25, under the old .or­ dinance, The bond of this office was changed from one hundred to two hundred dollars. The ordinance con­ cerning the changes made can be found elsewhere in this issue. Bills to the amount of 8167.59 were orderd paid. One bill however was left on the table it was the claims for fees by witnesses and jurors in the Mose Jones case, which wa8 dismissed last week. There is something rather peculiar about thi^ case for neither the maycr, marshal], night policeman, nor attorneys Dobbins and Bradford, knew whether the corporation should pay the costs or not. AH seemed to ) think the day of the trial that there would be no costs but we are unable to find when they consulted the statutes concerning such a case. Should the ease have been tried it would not have cost much more and there might have been., wonderous things developed th a t would b e . quite usefuf to both officers and„ committee of one ^hundred in connection with violators of the Beal law. We are not here to question the ability of any of those concerned bu t it is very evi­ dent that some one has been negligent and it rests with the reader only to de­ cide. The amount o f the costs was not so great but the evidence in this case was very valuable. With mem­ bers of council there seems to be a question as to the corporation’s power to pay fees where the case isdismi sed, nevertheless the witnesses, with lew exceptions, have drawn (heir fees. A suit of replevin has been brought by Caleb Nooks against Johu M. F in ­ ney for the posession of ft bull winch the defendant had in Jus posesstOn.

The com­ parison of death and injuries over last year is given also. This season there wpre twelve deaths, one. fatally in- ’jfired,; eightv-five seriously. , Last year eight dead and seventy-five ser­ iously injured. Noble aud elevating game. • . The Midland, a religious publics tion gives an . editorial on the <same subject: . ■- j ' “ A day or two before the close of the seasou a leading daily -paper re­ ported that ten deaths and. seventy youftg ri eu quite severely injured was the record of football games this fall. I f we are net greatly in error, there has been a concerted and . per­ sistent concealment of many injuries received in the games this year,'so that a full account would include a great many more. We mifst now add another death, a player’s life crushed out near-Coshocton, O,, ou Thunks- giying day, making .eleven lives known to be lost by football. In proportion to numbers engaged this is as fatal at-war. We like athletics,- but have long been convinced that ;‘oolball as now played is a brutal game, to be classed with the Spanish hull fight aud the prize fight and .the prize fight arid the old gladiatorial shows of Roiiie, I t is full time*, to suppress fit.’’ • ■ . The Chicago Record-Herald asks some questions on the game. “ What would he said or-done by our people if in a series of prize fights of sixty or ninty days duration fifteen to twenty-five men were killed and a large number mniued for life? Is it not a fact that the strong arm of the law would be invoked to arrest such acts of cruelty, ns in justice should be done? . ' Have our institutions of learning which are supposed to represent the highest type of civilization and a ju s t regard for the bights of others no value on the human life? There will certainly come a time when the responsibility for these lives will be required and fixed, and what shall the answer be niul by whom? Thursday of last week, a TV. G. T. U. reception was given at tlio home of Mrs. D. S. Ervin to the twelve new members recently received into the Union. What is known as a, mem­ bership contest hnd previously been held, and through , which these new members had been secured. Two leaders-wera appointed who proceed-* ed to choose the members after the manner of an old. fashioned spelling match. Each side'endeavored to se­ cure the most members during the next month which was the allotted time. At the close of the contest one leader presented eight names and the other four. As a penalty -for failure the defeated party was required to provide a program and refreshments for the reception. - The new mem hers and victorious side were the guests of honor. The program con­ sisted of nn uddress of welcome, it re­ sponse by a -new member and “ The reason why I am a member,” by an­ other member. The president, who had ju st returned from the Anti-Sa­ loon convention, gave some interest­ ing facts from the meeting.

Already large parties have been- formed in Springfield and Dayton to attend the most important and inter­ esting musical event Cincinnati peo­ ple ever had the privilege of hearing. DEPUTY SELECTED. The Clark County Commissioners on Monday granted the Dayton, Springfield & Urbana South West­ ern company an extension of one year to there franchise. This is the road that was supposed to come this way. However i t looks like the company had .somt intentions of building or they would not he investing money in having the ordinauces published for extensions iu time. Magic Safety oil is the best, it at Gooper’s. - Get As the first Monday in January is the. time when Sheriff-elect Tarbox takes his seat, politicians were specu­ lating as to who would be the success* lul man for deputy sheriff. On last Monday the announcement was. made that Mr. Howard Applegate, of Yel­ low Springs, had been selected for this position. Yellow Springs cer­ tainly will have no reason to com i plain as to recognition, the present j treasurer, deputy auditor, and deputy sheriffhail from that village- Osborn furnished the deputy- treasurer, (pe- darville; one commissioner* sheriff, and conrt.bailifi: Xenia; judges of Pro­ bate and Common Pleas courts, sur­ veyor, prosecuting attorney, and two commissioners: Bellbrook; clerk of court: Spring Valley one commission­ er-elect: Jamestown iB out in.the cold so far b u t ‘her citizens declare they will be represented before another year passes.
