The “ butUneaB administration’ * lias had more business this week than at any lime since Mayor An­ drew was inaugurated into office twenty months ago. “ Something doing every rmntite” might m a good slogan for the village but/just ■ at present there seems to be no ne­ cessity of home owners providing themselves with shot guiiB and hav ing them loaded and hung over the frontdoor. The matinee last Sabbath morn­ ing resulted In several being wound­ ed in a drunken brawl along the creek opposite the “ Flax-millpond” Near a dozen men, all colored ex- . cepfc one, bad gathered to discuss the recent primary result and de­ cide on a suitable candidate to de­ feat the nominee, W, R. Kennon, To assist In the deliberations a jug of cider had been provided and it went through the hardening process by the addition of a, quart of “ Old Jones’ ’ whiskey, which alone would cause mutiny in a regiment of sol­ diers. The aotion of the" liquor on the older was too much for those who indulged in it and a general fight was started. Frank Wisecup, white, was struck a blow on the head that stunned him aiid in a few minutes a generalflght was on with a half doz­ en participating. Wisecup was agaiust the field and put up a strong . defense but finding the enemy too .much for him picked up the jug and landed a blow on George Reed’s head, inflicting a wound and at the same time breaking, the vessel, Wisecup held to the. handle and used it as a weapon of dofonce. Wiley Jones received a bad out on the arm that bled profusely, causing him to fall in a’ faint and weakened condition, James Baker is said to have had a flneer badly bitten by Wisecup, but be and his brother, Joe, took, to a corn field when the. officers appeared and Jhave not. been seen up to this time.' ; - fa mayor’ s- court several have 1 beenfiued as follows: Wisecup,' $2 arid costs'; Bead, $5and coats; Web­ ster, $10and costs; W iley Jones $5 and costs. TbC case against Sally- Baker, which wag te have been tried Wed- Withdrawn as the. defendant is said 6. to have taken no part in the trouble other than getting her sons away. It was first reported that the .trouble was over George R e e d being discharged ftt the paper* mill but later reports show that an effort was being ipatle to agne on another candidate for marshal. The major- • lty of the crowd wanted H. A. Mo- Lean to run on an independent tick­ et but WIsecttp,. being a Democrat, would not stand for that and msisfc- ,ed on the crowd supporting James Bailey, who was coining on the Democrat ticket.

That is sung for so long Is again softly borne to the ear, And the patfcerof feet Down the village street Beats the knell.of another school year.

The depot was broken into some time Wednesday night, entrance being made by prying up a back window'. Two trunks belonging t*o Mrs. Lorlmer and her daughter, Miss Maude,, of New Concord, were opened and the contents scattered about the floor. / An inspection .by the owners re­ vealed that nothing was missing and it is thought the patties were looking for money. Besides valua­ ble dross goods there were fine laces and some silverware, none of which were taken. A bread basket in the room was opened aiid five loaves were taken, which gives the act a local coloring. There was nothing to indicate but that the work was done by inexperienced parties. The railroad detectives have .tak­ en up the ease but there is little to work upon. Cedarville seems to be enveloped m a wave of crime, such as follows an administration that is IaX on law enforemehf, and indiffer­ ent as to handling offenders.

Because he was given the "double- cross” by the.wets and drys, Mayor John IT. Fundarburg, the Blue-law Mayor of Yellow Springs, has an­ nounced that when his docket is cleared o f the present eases, no new ones will bo tried. The mayor states that from the results of the recent primary the ppople of Yellow Springs, do not approve of his policy and want no more liquor cases tried before him. From cases already tried the mayor assessed fines to the amount of about $3,80(1, part of which when collected will go into the county treasury and the remainder to Yellow Springs, - “ In going into the cases I thought' I would be doing the village a ser­ vice as well as serving the ends of justice, for through the case^i sever­ al fiundred dollars will go into the village treasury,'* said the mayor, “ but judging from the" election re­ sults I take it the citizens have not approved of my course.” Prosecutor Johnson will file future" cases in the Common Pleas Court, Under the law Mayor FundeHmrg of any other-.mayor can be com­ pelled to hoar liquor cases hut. it is not thought that such action will he ■taken.' ■ '■,.■■• .... .

Mr, Little and otheer leading men in the paper mill wertt consulted and expressed tiiefiiselvoaas being per­ fectly willing to do anything that was just and right, saying that, if we had oil.jind wished to use it on. reservoirs we couid, or they would get oil and put cm. They have very kindly offered to efti all and more than we asked.' Oil has been purohksrtl and is here ready to use and money in hank to get mare if weeded. Our officers have been asked and piea^ with to see td putting it on properly, but they /have failed to act.

Marshall, Pt. MtLfai* tttti m m historic dark days ; In the Year 626 Half, of the Sun Was Obscurod For Eight Months. In the year 35S, just before the earthquake of Nicomcilia, the dark­ ness was very dense from two to three hours. Two years afterward in all the provinces of the Roman empire there was obscurity from early dawn to noon. The stars were visible, and its duration precludes the idea of .a solar eclipse. At the return o f light the sun appeared first in a crescent form ; then half its face was seen and was gradually restored to its whole visible disk. In 409 the stars were'seen by day at Rome. Aboitt 53(5 the sun was obscured for fourteen months, bo that very little ot Ids light was seen. In 567 such darkness pre­ vailed from 3 p, m. till night that nothing could bo seen. In G2G half 3 tlie sun’s disk was obscured for eight months. In 733 ho was again darkened, and people were gener­ ally terrified. In 934 Portugal was in darkness for two months, the sun having lost its brightness. The heavens were then opened in fissures by strong flashes o f lightning, when there was suddenly bright sunlight. On Sept, 21,1091, the sun was darkened for three hours. Oil Pel). 28, 1206, for six hours complete .darkness turned the day into night. In 1241, on Michaelmas day, the stars wero vis­ ible at 3 p. in. In 1547, April 23 to 25, three days, the sun was so obscured that many stars wore vis­ ible at once. Thus says Humboldt in Cosmos. ■ I f wo eomo almost to our own time, to May 19, 1790, history and tradition assort the occurrence o f a remarkable day prevailing over New England, nt least, and. consid­ erably in some other places. It came on between 10 and 11 a, tn, and continued until midnight, growing gradually darker and dark cr even till 11 at night. Candles: and lamps wore lighted .for the peo­ ple to see to dine and perform work about. the house, These became requisite before 12 o’clock m. In the evening, so dense was it that farmers could scarcely, even with the aid o f a lantern, grope their way to the ham to take care of the cattle. The birds retired to their roosts at 11 a. m„ and tho day wai convertedinto night. ^ MINOR FACILITIES There are many ways in which this B ank .can serve you other than earing for your money or making you a loan.
