FAMILY HAVING BAD LUCK | Tragedies Follow the Emerick Household at Chattanooga. Tragedies continue to follow the fortunes of the Emerick family at Chattanooga, O„ and the strange fatality that clouded the lives of this family wa- called to mind when John Emerick, aged IS. was adjudged insane and was taken to Toledo by Sheriff Hinders, to become an inmate of the State hospital where his mother has bene incarcerated. It will be retnendtere! that the young man's grandfather was found dead in hi* barn several year* ago. liming apparently taiiei from the hay mow. Last winter, the grandmother Mrs. Barbara Emerick .wa* found dead in a well, and i ; never yet le-vn determined whether it was murder, suicide, or accidental drowning that ended the old woman’s life. The parents of young Emerick. who was taken to the asylum, were tirat cousins and the statement carries with it the consanguinity has its blighting effect ujKffl )»>sterity. Seldom, or nrv. er. has there been a family whereit* the lives of so nun y of its member* have been darkened by fate in it* grimmest, darkest form. - Geneva Herald.

COURT NOTES New Case Comes Here From Fort Wayne A SUIT TO QUIET TITLE Board of Review Hearing Cimp’.amts Today Marriage Licenses are Issued Coleriek A Ninde. attorneys from Fort Wayne, have tiled a new case here entitled Sarah J. Bowman v*. The Arbuckle Ryan Company suit to quiet title. The defendant» ill their cross complaint ask for damages. The case come* here on change of venue from the Sujierior court of Allen county. The Board of Review i* today hearing complaints from the tax paver, of Union, Root and Preble that is. from tho»<- who have any. No serious objection were Bled and the board apparently had an easy day. The new Bower bed at the court house is a ‘dandy” and adds materially to the ap|»>arance of that public institution. Take a look at the geranium* as you go past. A marriage license has been issued to Guy Barton Ricketts of Ken laiville an, I Bertha F. Ricketts, of Geneva. . Mr. Ricketts is employed acashier for the G. R. <k I. railway. A license to w.-.l has also bee: issued to Marion Tinkham ar. I Oma May DeOrni»nd. both of Blue Creek tow nship. HOW THE NEW LAW WORKS Two Cent Fare Causes Some Fuuny Discrepanries. The passage and going into effect of the two cent a mile railroad law in

Ohio ha* cause I ••.me fuuny discrepancies in railroad conductor#’ eash and ticket fare* to parties going from (mint* in this state to points in Ohio and also to parties coming from (Hunt* in Indiana, and, in this long-distance traveling of going from one state to another the railroad passenger, if he is on to the nuxius operand: of securing the benefit* of the Ohio law, ean save quite a little sum of money in his travels. People buying railroad tickets in Ohio to point* in Indiana and other states in which the two eent a mile rate is not effective do not get the benefit of the Ohio law, even over that part of the Ohio railroad* which tliev Gavel. Am! in going from (I’ii'tin Indiana to (mints in Ohio they pay the old tare for the full distance—three cents a mile - that is if they buy a ticket to their destination be tore starting on their trip. Such i* the ease where they purchase the ticket ill Indiana or Ohio.

For instance, suppose a Decatur (m.-etiger should want to go from this eity to Toledo, 0., over the Clover Leaf. If he should buy a ticket at the railroad station here before starting, he would have to pay the three cent a mile rate the entire distance. Or if he bought a ticket at his -tarting station in Ohio to a point in Indiana or other states he would not get the benefit of the low Ohio rate, even over the railroad* traveled in that state. The commercial travelers were the first to overcome tins situation. If they want to travel from Indiana to Ohio they buy a ticket from the starting ]*»iut to the nearest Ohio point and from there they pay the eash at two cents a mile. Most of the commercial salesmen and many others who travel considerably are “on to” this method of beating the ticket agent, and as a result the receipts of the latter at their offices are somewhat less than formerly, while the eash fares of the passenger conductors have increased.
