This couple came in on the C- P.

train in the evening and registered at the Sherman House as man and wife. They were a nice appearing couple and arroused no suspicion with the landlord. They were assigned to one of the best rooms in the house. A stranger came in on the same train, who afterwards proved to be a dectective, and examined the hotel register, and there discovered that they had registered under the name of J. W.

Pershing, of Pittsburg. The detective then went to the mayor's office and filed an affidavit, charging Wesley I. Houston, a young minister of the Christian church and a student of Hiram College, and Mrs. Maud of J. C.

Patterson, a traveling groceryman of Pittsburg, with disorderly conduct. About 11 o'clock marshall Espich, in company with the detective, went to the Sherman House and asked the boy, who is acting as night clerk, to go to the room occupiei by the couple and knock at the door, saying, when asked what was wanted, that he had left a package in the bureau drawer, thereupon the unsuspecting student opened the door and the officer who was conveniently near, pushed open the door and entered. The scene and embarass- ment can better be imagined than told. They were placed under arrest and after donning their garments were.taken to the mayor's office. They begged hard not to be locked up, and askad that they be not required to answer the charge until morning.

They were taken back to their room at the hotel and kept under the surveillance of the officer until morning. The detective wired the husband and he came on the noon train. Before his arrival the couple were taken te the Mayor's office, and screened from public gaze by giving them the clerk's room. The husbanp said he did not wish to see them and learning from his counsel that the charge of disorderly conduct was all that could be sustained against them, under the state of facts, withdrew and left. The mayor, upon plea of guilty, sentenced them.

The mayor fined Rev. Houston and costs and Mrs. Patterson S10 and costs, which they promptly paid. Mr. Patterson suspected his wife of unfaithfullness and employed a detective to shadow her.

She came to Wainsburg several days ago. The detective kept watch all the time and yesterday followed her on the train, and at Mineral City xras rewarded by seeing the suspected party get on the train and they come together to the Sherman House. The remainder of the trail was an easy task. Mrs. Patterson is rather handsome, and so is the young minister.

Mr. Patterson is very small and not prepossessing. Rev, Houston had been filling the appointment at Wainsburg and Sparta and occasionally conducted a funeral service. He is said to be a young man of ability. The dectective had had the pleasure of hearing him him on one occasion.

The indignant husband will apply for a divorce. The course to be pursued by Mrs. Patterson and Rev. Houston remains for the future to develop. DEMOCRATIC JUDICIAL CONVENTION.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Seeks to Recover funds Lost by the Negligence of its Former Clerk. Our Father. John Uasper Ginther vas born in Rush township December 28, 1828, and was the eldest son of Abraham and Catherine Varner Ginther. His father died when he was ten years of age, leaving his widow a small farm largely in the woods, and a family of four children to provide for.

Casper remained at home with his mother while she lived, and at quite an early age became her main dependence. He was mariied to Miss Elizabeth Crom, of Salem township, November 25, 1857. Three children were born to them, Dora Chap and John the latter died in infancy. His wife died March 18, 1875 and the same year financial disaster swept away the modest savings of their joint labors. He gave his last dollar to his cred itors, and engaged at day labor to gain sustenance for himself and children.

His was an unselfish, toilsome life, largely devoted to others. His youth and early manhood was devoted to his mother and younger brother and sisters. Later in life he gave to his widowed, invalid mother-in-law a home and cared for ner wants with the same devotion he had shown his own. In disposition he was hopeful, in character pure. He met disaster with the hope of a better day, and turned to labor with increased zeal.

We never knew an untruth to pass his lips, nor an impure sentence to foul his tongue. He was peculiarly frank and open in his dealings. He envied no man his success, nor strove to turn the needs of any to his own advantage. Few men have performed as much hard physical labor as he, and none have suffered more. He was never of robust health, and five years ago he suffered an attack of fever from which he never fully recovered.

For weeks he hovered between life and death, and after being confined to his bed for six months he slowly convalesced. His last sickness was brief, his suffering intense, I He is now at rest. His aching head is pillowed on the bosom of his Savior, no more to be racked with pain nor troubled for the morrow. The hands that weary grew as they swung, in sweat and pain, the ax and maul in hardy toil are crossed upon that bosom which never harbored an evil thought. They are still and restful now.

Early in life the deceased united with the Moravian church at Gnadenhutten, and was an active, earnest member of the church until he removed to Salem township, when, there being no Moravian church within reach, he united with the M. E. church. He looked forward to the time, with much anticipated pleasure, when he would again live in the vicinity of the Moravian church, but when that time came impaired health denied him the enjoyment of its services. It was his request, several years ago, that when he died he might be buried in the Moravian cemetery at Gnadenhutten.

His spirit took its flight last Monday A Pretty Gift by Little Ones. A beautiful little quilt was sent from the Dover school to the Children's Home, last Monday morning, with the following note: "We, the little children of the 2nd Primary Department, present this, our own work, to the little orphans of the Children's Richardson, Karl Stuhmiller, Alice Walter Brucks, Ethel Miller, Latimer Reeves, Tessie Bayles, Catherine Jentes, David Walters, Minnie Miller, Ettie Windling, Otto LackKenmeyer." The little orphans of the Children's Home, through the Superintendent and Matron, herewith express their high appreciation of and sincere thanks for the beautiful gift. God bless their noble young hearts. We appreciate the gift very highly, but much more the kind feeling expressed by the gift. REV.

AND MRS. J. C. KREUSCH, Supt. and Matron.

Walton, while clerk of the board, caused a loss of $600 to the township in the Moore school district, which should have been collected from Harrison county by reason of hildren from that county attending the Moore school. All previous attempts to collect this money have failed by reason of the fact that under the law, the time for making a levy in Harrison county for the payment has passed, and that the authorities have now no power to make such levy, and this negligence, and, to this time, loss, is laid at the door of that "careful, painstaking official," as the "organ" said he yas.
