Just be fore reaching Oberlin she fell asleep in her seat, her pocket-book containing the money and ticket lying carelessly in lap. She woke up in a few minutes but when she looked for her pocket-book it was gone. Searching everywhere for it there was no sign of the missing money and the unfortunate girl left the tram at Elyria. The conductor volunteered to take her on to Buffalo but she had no money and thought that the nearer she kept to Toledo the better would it be for her. Looking up the township trustees she stated her tale of and they boughtfher a ticket to Toledo, besides rais'rag two or three dollars for pin money.

She returned on an evening train Thursday. THe Crime of WHicH Czolgosz is Guilty.

M. Van Tilburg and Charles L. Penney, both of Lorain, O. In speaking of "big" men on this occasion avoirdupois is meant. Dr.

Van Tilbnrg weighs 318 pounds, while Mr. Penney tips the beam at about 275. The doctor was a member of Co. Twenty-third Ohio, while Mr. Penney belonged to Co.

of the First Michigan volunteer infantry. Both veterans are neighbors in Lorain and they came to the encampment together. On Superior street met by Dealer man. "Do you know, said Lieut C. P.

Conant, who was with them, that Dr. Van Tilburg was the smallest man in the regiment during the war? He enlisted when he was only fifteen years of age, was short and only weighed 124 pounds.

R. They Have it in Lornin---No More Cut Prices for the Band. The union craze in Lorain extends even to their music, and the two bands in that city havejbeen having war because one claimed that the other had cut tlie union rate. The fact seems to be that some members of the Lorain city band volunteered to donate their services to go down to the parade in Cleveland Tuesday with the Lorain boys.

The result was that that band offered to go for a lower rate than the Marine band could, under the union agreement, and so they got the job. The Marine band boys protested that union rates had been cut, and the matter was brought up in a meeting of the union Monday night. There they passed a resolution to prevent any member of the union in the future from donating services or making a rebate so as to effect a out in the price. So now they will have to pay union prices down there live without the joys of music. of Lorain and Elyria Minist The ministers of Elyria and I--held their regular monthly at the Congregational parson Lorain Monday morning.
