THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT. BY A. J. HILL. Friday, Dcccember 9. 1881. Mahoke takes ranks among the bos es. The question is whether Conkling, Grant or Arthur is president. Giteau is nothing more or less than a human mad dog. There has never been any legislation to cool down the fires of appetite. Gciteau says he had rather be hung as a man then get clear as a fool. It is to be hoped the jury will favorably consider his request. According to Bob Ingersoll and Guiteau, God is responsible for a great many mighty mean things that have occurred in this world. The English department of the Delphos Union Schools has 353 scholars enrolled, and the per cent, of attendance for November 98. The Star Route jpeople are happy, and quite a number of Republican journals seem to be in excellent humor because they have such smart fellows as political associates. But then some people are easily pleased. The cheek that some Republican journals have is wonderful, as instanced in their asserting that a Democratic Congress was incompetent because they did not unearth the Star Rente frauds. The inference follows, that these fellows have very dim and shadowy views of right and wrong. With them it was a smart trick, deserving political promotion. Other people would call it stealing, and think the rascals should be sent to the penitentiary along with other thieves. In this respect publie sentiment should be aroused instead of being soothed with such platitudes. And those who indulge in such flimsy apologies, in some respects, are worse than the thieves.

The Republicans elected General Keifer, of Ohio, Speaker of the House. His election is generally conceeded to be a victory for the stalwarts, due to the manipulations of Grant, Conkling and others. It means that the bosses are to rule the Republican hosts. While the half breeds hold a large number of offices, and could control a considerable portion of the Republican press, their tenure of office depends upon their silence, which in effect disarms them, and leaves the stalwarts to eut and thrust, and work their wicked pleasure upon the half breeds. The election of Keifer, indicates a return of bossism as the controlling element of the Republican party, and is the stepping stone that makes the semination of Grant for a third term possible. The Journal last week recommended establishing a quarrantine against Fort Wayne and other towns that have small pox. As the disease prevails in towns all around us, it means quarrantine from every direction. Practically this would mean non-intercourse with the outside world for forty days. To carry it out guards would have to be placed upon all our communications with orders to turn back all who wished to come here, whether on business or pleasure. For results the reader can draw upon his imagination. If a Board of Health was organised and they should issue an order that no one would be allowed to have the small pox in town, it would be just as sensible and practical as the Journal't quarrantine.

FORSAKEN. A Strange Scrap of Lite History From the Hoosier Stale. Actions fixtraoedlnay of a man Who Says He is Worse than a Thief. IPfiCIAL DISPATCH TO TUg IBQVIBIB. Mommovth, Inb —December 2.—The strange actions of a citizen of Union township attracted the attention of an EiQvtaaa reporter, and his search brought to light a strange series of movements. Behind them there may be a romance, or a real,Jrayless, night of misery. Time may disclose all of the mystery, but the reporter could go just so far behind .the scenes and no further. Some months ago, a well-dressed, middle aged man and a stylish young woman, seemingly of some twenty-five years, got off the Pittsburg train at Monroeville. Their baggage was marked with cards tacked to it, “E. A. Hunter.” The man hired a rig and drove immediately into the country with his companion, and to an old house standing in an out-of-the-way place some miles from Monroeville. This house the pair took posession of, and in it they have lived together until some eight days ago. The woman has seen rouble of some nature, as is evident from her looks She is yet very handsome, of tether large size, and highly educated. Eight days ago the woman became s mother. When warned of the approach of her trial she requested her companion to call in an old woman who lived near. Hunter objected to this, but she overruled him. The child was born, a bright little girl, but for five days the heartless man would not enter the bedroom, nor look at the babe. At length he came to the bedside and took the child in his arms He held it up, and for fully ten minutes looked at its face, then laid it down again, snd sat down by the bed 'the poor woman thought her trouble ended, and felt happy during the hour or more In which Hunter talked to her. The conversation ended, he left the room, and that was the last time the sorrowful mother has ever seen him. The old woman, who is yet with the mother and babe, says that the same evening Hunter gave to her a letter, and directed that she hand it to the sick woman. The letter reads:

“Ettib: I am going to England. You said last Sunday a week ago that you thought sometimes of going back to George, and that yon wished sometimes you had never left him I do, too, now. That child is his, snd you know it. You have fooled me, and I ought to let you suffer for it. When I was happy with my own family, and trusted by my fellow-citizens, yeu followed me up, and with your accursed charms you lured me to ruin. My wife is to-day broken-hearted, my children jeered at, myself a worse than thief Now, go back to George. Tell him you have repented, and that you will be a good wife again. He is soft enough, and likes you well enough to take you again. Inclosed I I send you SSOO to enable you to return. Give Mary the things here in the house, and go back as soon as you can. The bonds I had set aside for the little on* 1 take myself, since it is not mine. Yours respectfully, E.” This was all the reporter could learn. The woman was as mum as an oyster. She saidthe above letter might be made public as it showed the utter heartlessoess end want of principle in Hunter. Her own name, where she came from, or who she is, could not, in any possible way, be ascer. tained. There were evidences of wealth in the house- An elegantly bound copy of “Art and Literature” lay on the table, and a gold-lined drinking cup stood on the stand by the bedside. An inlaid jewel-box lay on a chair and the raised lid exposed a lady s handsome gold watch, a diamond brooch and ear-drops. The lady's clothes were of rich goods, and very tastefully ' made. A conversation with the old woman disclosed nothing save that Hunter had paid her ‘most awful good wages, and Mrs. Hunter had given her a a satin-lined cloak and a French meriner dress.

NOVJIOFTH ITEMS. BY “VIBE.'’ Mrs. Hattie Craig, of Van Wert, held religious services in the Quaker church last week. Reube Chenoweth is convalescent Rudolph Kurt. 81 years old, has been sick for some time, but we are glad to say be is some what better at present. Lou weaver is also on the sick list. Ralph Dutcher and family of Van Wert, were in town Tuesday, the guests of John Walford. Mr. Smith has had the old building formerly used as a granary, fixed up as a dwelling for Mr. Laban Riley, of Hoagland, who is at present moving Into it. Mr. Elmore Numbers, we understand, has thrown up his school; not wishing to clean toe sehool house for a debating society who held their meeting* there and who refused, as also did the proper sehool officers to do any thing in the matter. Monmouth looks neat and elean since the soap pedler has paid us a visit, we would urge him to come again, soon as the partnership cake is nearly used up. Mr. Smith says he knows that hi* is a very common name, but thinks he would rather be called that than Lawrence DeVere, and be bashful of the dog tax collector.

I ft H nn DT AMT TO CROCERS, PACKERS, HUCKIMPORTANT STERS GENERAL PUBLIC. THE KING FORTUNE MAKER: O\Z\ O\Jf\E\~z A Mew Process for preserving all Perishable Articles, Animal and Vegetable from Fermenialion ami Putrefaction, retaining their Order and Has or. “O^O.VE—Pwri/ird air. active etale oxygen.” Wbbstbb sThis Preservative is not a liquid, pickle, or any of the old and exploded prosesses, but is Simply and purely OZO.I E, »• produced and applied by an entirely new process. Ozone is the antiseptic principle of every substance, and possesses the> power to preeerve animal and vegetable elructuree from decay. There isnotntng on the fate of the earth liable to decay or »poU wMth O/.011. the hcw Preservative. will not preserve for all time in a perfectly treehand palatable condition. . . The nlue of OZONE ii a Batura! preserver hat been koowa to our abler cncm.sts for years, but until now no means of producing it in a practical, inexpensive, and simple manner bare been discovered. Jficroscoplc observations prove that decay is due to septic matter, or minute germs that develop and feed upon animal and vegetable structures. OZONE applied by the Premiss method, seises end destroyes the germs at once, and thus preserves. At our offices in Cincinnati ean be seen almost every article that can be thought of preserved by this precess, and every visitor is welcome to come in, taste, smell, take away with him, and test in every way the merits of OZONE as a preservative We will also pre«rve, free of charge, any article that is brought or sent prepaid to us, and return it to the sender, for him to keep and test. -r-s z—y . , Ocan be treated at a cost of less than one dollar a thousand dozen, and ( I )obe kept in an ordinary room six months or more, thoroughly preserved, rhe yolk held in its normal condition, and the egg, as fresh and perfect as on the day they were treated, and will sell as strictly “choice.'’ The advantage in presery- I ■ng eggs is readily seen; there are seasons when they can be bought for 8 or 10 rente's dozen snd by holding them can bo sold for an advance of from one hundred to three hundred per cent. One man with this method can preserve 5,000 dozen a day ri I) I T I be permitted io ripen in their nali re climate, and can be P (J 11 to any part of the world. The juice expressed from fruits can be held for an indefinite period without fermentation—hence the great value of this process for producing a temperance beverage. Milk and cider can be held perfectly sweet any length of time. VEGETABLES caD be for kD ‘ n Jcfioit* period in their natural condition retaining odor and flavor, treated in their original packages, at a small expense. AU grain, flour, meal, etc., are held in their normal condition. FRESH MEATS * act> “ heef > P ork > poultry, game, fish, etc., preserved by this method, can be shipped to Europe, subjected to atmospheric changes, and return to this country in a state of perfect preservation. DPTTL’D ar ter beutg tre-iteu nr this -DLI 1 EjIV PROCESS will .TOT BECOME R-ETCIO. Dead human bodiee, treated before decomposition sets in, can be held in a natural condition for weeks, without puncturing the skin or mutilating the body in any way. Heuce the great value of Ozone to undertakers. There is no change in the slightest particular in the appearance of any article thus preserved, and no trace of auy foreign or unnatural odor or taste. The process is so simple that a child can opaerate it as well and as successful as a man. There is ns expensive apparatus or machinery required. A room filled with different articles, such ss eggs, meat, fish, etc., can be treated al any one time, without additional 'rouble or expense. fact, there is nothing that Otone will not preserve Think of everything you can that is liable to sour, decay, or spoil, sad then remember that we guarantee that Ozone will preserve it in exactly the condition you want it for any length of time. It you will remember this, it will save asking questions as to whether Ozone will preserve this or that article -It will preserve anything and everything you ean think of. There is noi a township in the United States in which a lite man oan not make any amount of money, from SI,OOO to SIO,OOO a year, that he pleases We desire to got a live man interested in each county it the United States, in whose hands we can place this Preservative, and through him secure the business which every county ought to produce. Awaits anv raan w h° secures control of X QITUIie ozone Ina ny Township or County. A. L. Bowen, Marion, Ohio, cleared $2,000 tn two months. $2 for a test peckage was his first investment.

We grill exclusive township or county privileges to the first respon sibld applicapl fiim orders a test package aud desires to control the business tn bis locality.
