In the meantime there had been a. groat commotion. Toe whole force of the store who could be spared tram their duties were scattered at the street corners to watch for the1 . man who had been given the valu­ able package by mistake. While Jones was buying the *u»- penders in the"furnishing depart-* ment, Miss Grace Weatberablne, the cashier, was gathering up the money to be taken to the bank. he** fore closing time. Shegot it collect' ed, counted it and placed about i t a pieceof the store’s regulation wrap­ pingpaper, I t consistedof currency and cheeks, the whole amount, with the exetepion df about #30p, was made up ofpaper money. Jones decided on a pair of sus­ penders tbatsuitedllim, handed the clerk a coin, and the money and goods were Sent to the cashier’s deskfor wrapping and change. The suspenders when wrapped made -a little bundle, and I t is hot to be wondered a t that JM bs Weather- shine tossed the package of money into the cash carrier basket instead of the suspendert. The’ clerk gave Jones his change and the package, and he left the store. It Was a few minutes bhfore the less was-discovered.' Instantly the w^ole store force was in a commo­ tion, everybody trying £6 remember what the suspender customer looked like. Naturally, little attention had been' paid to- him, and different clerks gave different descriptions. It turned out that the description given by Mr. Zimmerman, of the furnishing department, was correct. The streets were hurriedly searched,"but the man with the precious bundle could not h© found. The police were instantly notified, and. they Went to every traction car and street car station. A man .who gave a 'check for $18 in Bray’s* saloon in the West End Wasplfteed under surveillance, A. ,p. S and IT. conductor heard of a man on a traction car going toward Dayton and ho thought he might answer the dificriptten. He was watched until the word came that the money had been returned^ Jones bought his suspenders about fills o’clock. He did not go home immediately. Hot realising the valuable contents 6t the Itttte pack­ age he had in his* pocket, he was in no great hurry to open it after he got home, Finally he did unwrap it to show bis new suspenders to his wife, ahd the great roll Of bills lay before their astonished gaze. There wasn’t any question with themwhat he ought to do about it. He realized the loss had probably been discovered, but also that he could keep it with little risk to him­ self. But he put on his hat and took the money back, Tim whole When force, from Manager Neville down to the porter was about toady lb fall on Ids neck for joy, Jones is a. laborer a t the Thomas shops. Manager Neville requested that the amount of the reward should not be reported, hut It wag a handsome one, and liberal beyond criticism. *' hist Oburrteiifi.

By tho last census 1183people lived there. This was a loss of 005 between 1820 and 1900, This village has been notorious for regreat number ot years because of the strife that has constantly pre­ vailed there between tbe prohibition people and the saloon,—xebanon Press, Tho above item is entirely wrong, Mr, Fress, find “the temperance question had nothing to do with the population of CedarvlHe a t the time referred to. In the first place, there was no such discrepancy." The cen­ sus enumerators in 1890gave Cedar­ ville a population of 1300, which leaves a degclt of 201 over the report of 1000, During those ten years the ksmgtiE punvr jdu » i : u a xujjo F_v>v*r, employing 75hands, located there, a cheese factory was added; and sev­ eral other business places sprung up, making a substantial growth in the village. The" dOllega was built during that period, a large* nursery established which employed a num­ ber pf laborers, anew addition was built near 'the college^ and houses erected and tenanted, and when ‘the census enumerator," in 1900, made his report the citizens were -bitterly disappointed—they ' had. expected 2003 or more inhabitants, owing to her large growth. In fact," they were soincensed that some of her citizens demanded a re-count, and a com­ mittee actually madea convass only, to find that the report was correct. TheWhole trouble bad beeri that tho enumerator in 1900, had refused to go to the ■grave yards to secure names to report (and. for which he would have been paid ’3 cents per name). Cedafville, now a thriviug village, was never more -prosperous than during 1890-1900, Tofmake a mis-statement is bad enough, bu t to charge all this up to a liquor fight Is' going just a little too far.
