COUNCIL INDULGES IN A LONG DRAWN-OUT POW-WOW, BUT DID NOT DO MUCH BUSINESS.

An Offer is to be Made For Land to Open Wayne Avenue Through Wayne Park Addition- ALlowed. At roll call all members of the City Council were present except Mr. Herr. President Keck presided. Minutes of the last meeting were read and approved.

Clerk read a resolution. submitted by the Solicitor at the request of the Board of Public Service to construct sidewalks on Chestnut street, and Central and Euclid avenues across the Pan Handle railroad. On motion the rules were suspended and the resolution was given three readings and passed. Solicitor stated that he desired further time in the matter of drafting an automobile ordinance. Further time was granted.

Two petitions have been presented relative to the building of sidewalks on Wayne avenue. One was fornist, the other for the improvement. action taken. Solicitor Baker suggested that a committee be appointed to confer with property owners regarding the opening of Wayne avenue, and that the committee be empowered to act in the matter if it is necessary to institute condemnation proceedings to secure the desired opening Discussion resulted and the subject became so weighty that a recess session was voted. The idea is to open Wayne avenue from the south end of the avenue as it is at present, through Wayne Park to Sherman street, south of the latter street the avenue is already opened up through Highland Place Addition.

The following is taken from Judge Alton B. Parker's address of acceptance, August 10, 1904: "It becomes desirable to call attention to the fact that the people, in whom all power resides, nave seen fit, through the medium of the Constitution, to limit the governmental power conferred and to say to departments by it: "Thus far shalt! thou go and no To secure the ends sought. the people have by the Constitution separated and distributed among the three departments of government, the executive legislative and judicial, certain powers, and it is the duty of those administering each department so to act as to preserve, rather than destroy, the potency of the branches, of the Government and thus secure the exercise of all the powers conferred by the people. "Thomas Jefferson, in a letter to William C. Jarvis, touching the perpetuity of our institutions, written many years after he had retired to private life said: If the three powers of our government maintain their mutual independence of each other, it may last long, but not so if either can assume the authority of the It must be confessed that in the course if our history Executives have employed powers not belonging to them; statutes have been passed that were expressly forbidden by the Constitution, and statutes have been set aside as unconstitutional when it was difficult to point out the provisions said to be offended against in their enactment; all this has been done with a good purpose, no doubt, but in disregard, nevertheless, of the fact that ours is a government of laws, not of men, deriving its powers from the consent of the I we would have our government continue during the ages to come, for the benefit of those who shall succeed us, we must ever be on our guard against the dangers of usurpation of that authority which resides in the whole people." Family Reunions.

August was certainly a month of family reunions and September promises to be just as good for these pleasant gatherings. It nas been years since so many have been held. In this time, when families have become so widely separated, when the breadth of an entire continent sometimes separates the various branches and members, it is one of the happiest events of the year for people to come together in a great family reunion. Especially are these reunions a prominent part of the life of the oldest parts of this country and Ohio is without doubt one of these. There are families in Darke county whose ancestry dates back more than one century, and during that time the families have become much scattered, and it is only once every year or every two years that is at all possible to unite.

At the Cincinnati Northern. Mr. J. F. Gearhart, who has been taking a vacation from his duties as agent of the Cincinnati Northern for several months, endeavored to resume the work Thursday, but at the close of the day he saw it would not be wise for him to go to work in his present state of health and so informed the company.

His vacation has been extended indefinitely and Mr. J. A. Hidenbrand will continue as the agent until Mr. Gearhart's health improves sufficiently to permit him to return to work.

Harry Steinhilber has been appointed Chief Clerk and Wm. Bramen, of Van Wert, as Yard Clerk. They Were Here Too. New Paris has bought the Dayton bloodhounds, "Tramp" and "King," which have done duty "tracking" thieves in Miami county towns.

The Fire Department was called to the old Boni Wahl property on Martin street, which is now occupied by Mrs. Kerrigan and Jospeh Marshall's two families. The blaze resulted from a gasoline explosion caused by Miss Maude Arnold getting too close to the burning stove with a gasoline can.

She thought she had turned the blaze off, but it seems she was mistaken. The loss was small, but Miss Arnold was severely burned about the arms and head. Cincinnati via the Northern, SCHNAUS WILL. THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE LATE WILLIAM SCHNAUS FILED FOR PROBATE. All of His Property Bequeathed to Widow and Daughter- Other Relatives to Come in Should Death Claim the Child.

J. Hikcox. As if having- a premonition of his sudden exit from this life, the first paragraph proves that he was desirous of disposing of his property according to his wishes. The instrument begins with the following troduction: "In the name of the Benevolent Father of All, the said Wm.

The daughter's interest to be invested in real estate and the title to be placed in her own name. The wife and daughter are to have the homestead in common so long as the former shall remain his widow, should she marry it the absolute property of the daughter. He constitutes his wife, Elizabeth Schnaus, and his brother John Schnaus, if living, and if the latter be not living then his son Harry Schnaus, a8 trustees for the daughter and executors of his last will and the D.

P. Irwin is named as attorney for the executors and trustees. The sum. of $500 to be paid to John or Harry Schnaus for their services. The executors and trustees are not required to give bond, and should either of them die, the one living shall continue the trust.

In item four he provides that should the daughter die without issue, enough of her portion is to go te the widow, providing the latter has not married, to give her a half interest in the estate, the remaining portion to be equally divided between the following legatees: Jno. Schnaus, if dead to his wife and two sons, Harry and Mattie Kilbourn, of Minneapolis, if dead to her daughter Anna May Kilbourn; Caroline Delange, of Harmon, Colorado, if dead to her children to be shared equally; Caroline Keck, of Oakland, California, if dead to Mattie Rhotehamel and John A. Fisher, if living, and if he is not living his portion to go to the other legatees named in this item. Should Wm. Schnaus be addicted to drink his share is to go to his brother Harry.

At the hearing held this morning in the Probate Court the will was admitted to probate and record; and Mrs. Elizabeth Schnaus and John Schnaus were appointed executors of the estate. Hit With a Beer Bottle. A bloody fight took place at the White Horse Inn to-day, which came very near terminating fatally. As near as can be learned from the somewhat conflicting reports, Charles Perkins, aged about five, and Charles Sprowl got into an argument.

Finally Perkins picked up a beer bottle, but in some way Sprowl got possession of it and hit Perkins a fearful blow over the right eye, severing the temporal artery. By thetime he. was, brought to Dr. Ruby's office he nearly bled to death. Dr.

Ruby called Dr. G. Reynard and they sewed the cut, which was about an inch long. As both men came into Indiana no arrests have been Union City Times. Sam Ludy, the dairyman, is building a large silo at the west end of his barn on the Union City pike.

To Figure Speed Easily, In these days when the lives of people are being sacrificed or endangered by traction cars and automobiles, doubtless many would like to know the actual speed of the rushvehicles and do not know just how to compute it. The following rule will hit every time: Lay of a "speed track" 440 feet or one-twelfth of a mile long, on your street, note the seconds time in passing and divide the number into 300; the result is the speed per pour in miles. For convenience cut out this table of speeds for ready reference: 60 5 miles per hour. 50 6 miles per hour.

40 miles per hour. 30 10 miles per hour. 25 12 miles per hour. 20 15 miles per hour. 10 sec.
