The first answer to the problem ■“How cold is it when it is twice as cold as two degrees above zero,” was received this morning, and is as follows: ‘‘ln my opinion taking the freezing point of a Fahrenheit thermometer, as the place of beginning of cold and making an arithmetical calculation in substraciion we will arrive at the conclusion that the difference between two degrees above zero and the aforesaid freezing point is 30 degrees. Twice thirty degrees equal sixtv degrees and thirty-two degrees leas sixty degrees equal twenty-eight degrees below zero. Ans.”

Chi is Strebe made a business trip to Crooked C’reek this morning. E. X. Ehinger, treasurer of the library board, Sunday received a check for $4006 to cover the final estimate on the Carnegie library, this making the total $12,000. A fire was narrowly averted Friday evening at the Knights of Columbus halk caused by the work of some miscreant who desired to do some dirty work t >ward the dancing teacher, Mrs. Stadler, who has been using this hall for the past two months. The fire originated in an electric light box in which is kept all the switches so that the lights may te turned off on the first floor. Early in the evening the light began to flicker and then go out and come on, this kept up for several hours, when Med Miller, who furnishes the music concluded to telephone to the water works plant and get an electrician, but no one was there and he finally called Electrician W. G. Spencer who located the cause in a few moments, and found the switch box full of fire. On closer examination he discovered that the fuse in one of the switches had been pulled out, and was the cause of the bad light. This also caused the fire which was gaining considerable headway when discovered. The Knights are making every effort to find the guilty parties, and if found they will tie prosecuted. This was a dastardly trick and might have resulted in the total destruction of the building. Edgar Gerber, youngest son of County Clerk David Gerber, came might y near losing his life Thursday evening, sustaining serious and painful injuries. It seems Ed and two companions boarded an Erie freight near the Chicago & Erie depot, expecting to ride as far as the water tank west of town, where they expected the train would stop and they could alight in safety. However, when the train reached the tank it was dashing along at a twenty mile an hour gait, and the boys were at a loss as to what to do. Young Gerber said he was going to get off, and Immediately did so, his two companions, Roy Patterson and Jakie Stults, going on through to Markle. Ed got off the train head first, and as a consequence is said to have laid by the track unconscious for two hours. He had two ugly gashes in his head, and after reaching home a physisian was summoned. Stults and Pattison told their troubles to the Markle operator, who sent them home on a passenger train. The lads will probably ‘‘out out” the freights for a few days until the scare wears off anyway. Garbar’s injuries are not considered dangerous, but he has been quite sick ever since the accident.

' At the home of William Jactson on Fornax street, Sunday occurr- . ed tne marriage of his daughter, , Mi'S Lila to Charles Miller. The wedding was a quiet affair, only a few friends being present. The groom is the son cf Elmer Miller, and is a well known and popular young man. Deputy Sheriff Dallas Butler drove to the home of John P. Spuller yesterday afternoon and arrested Joe Hoaglana who has been working for Mr. Spuller for some time. Hoagland was brought here and placed in jail. He is wanted at Van Wert, Ohio, for the desertion of his wife and seven childien. Hoagland has always been an honest hard working man and took care of his family until a few months ago when ho left them almost destitute and came to this county. In Ohio wife desertion is punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary and Joe is badly frightened. He has agreed to return without a requisition, and an officer will arrive today to take him to Van Wert. Mrs. W. H. Daniel was recently highly honored by her co-workers in the missionary movement of the M. E. Church. She has been conference president of the Woman’s Home Missionary society for seven years, and conference organizer for three years, making ten years spent in earnest effort for this noble work. How well she has succeeded was fully demonstrated by the comparative reports which showed a marvelous growth in members, finance and interest. How much she is appreciated can only be real izad by those who were present at the last conferenoo meeting of the society and heard the words of regret and real expressions of sorrow that she must lay aside the duties she has performed so nobly and so well for many years. As an expression of the high est eem in which Mrs. Dan’el is held, she was unanimously elected Conferenca vice president, and just at the close of the meeting her friends and sisters in this grandest of Christian movements presented her with a beautiful cut glass bowl and a set of silver spoons. Mrs. F. G. Brown, whose husband has been assistant editor of the Western Christian Advocate for the pist six years, but is now located at Tipton, was elected ’ president to succeed Mrs. Daniel. She has had years of experience in the work and will make an efficient officer. The election of Jno. M. Pattison as governor will mean the loss of positions by from 3000 to 5000 republicans and the securing of state jobs by that many democrats. Already applications are beginning to show up. The important places to be filled by Jthe new governor include a private secretary and executive staff, clerks, two chief oil inspectors and numerous deputies, an adjutant general, insurance commissioner, labor commissioner, railroad commissioner, mine inspector, supervisor of public printing, fish inspector, chief examiner of engineers and the reorganization of the eighteen state institutions, each with something like 200 or 300 appointees. At the Ohio Penitentiary there are now being employed about 120 guards at a salary of $75 monthly. In addition to these there are superintendents, secretaries, and assistants, a deputy warden and assistants and others, making in all a Jpay roll of probably 135, whose salaries range all the way up to $2500, that of the warden. The state hospitals also have many employees. At the institution for the insane there are 230 employees, who are paid from sl2 monthly up to $1,200, excepting the superintendent who gets $2,200. At the deaf and dumb asylum the list numbers 110 of officers, teachers and employees. They range from the sls a month hall girl to $1,200, the highest official under the superintendent. Two hundred persons are engaged in subordinate positions exclusive of the 17 officials and 24 teachers in the imbecile asylum.

Fall of Tragic Meaning are these lines from J. H. Simmons, of Casey, la. Think what might have resulted from his terrible cough if he had not taken the medicine about which he writes: “I had a fearful cough, that disturbed my nights rest. I tried every thing, but nothing would relieve it until! I took Dr. Kings New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colda which completely cured tre.” Instanti I vrelieves and permanently cures all i throat and lung diseases; prevents ■ grip and pneumonia.
