IDEAL OFFICER WAS JOHN DYNES

Veteran County Commissioner Gives Up Office After Serving Six Years. . ' . f : ..'.1t..,-- '.. ?. . ', 'r--. - try -- WAS ALWAYS PAINSTAKING NEW BOARD WILL HOLD ITS FIRST SESSION TOMORROW AND WILEY WILL BE ELECTED PRESIDENT. When the board of county commissioners meets In its first session of the year tomorrow it will be a new board. The one absent member will be John Dynes, representative of the. middle district. He will succeeded by Barney Under man of Clay township. Dynes will be missed greatly by all persons who have had any dealings - with the board. He has served two terms of three years each and during that time fcad gained a large local acquaintance. For the past two years he had been president of the board. Quiet But Efficient. Never making any display- or claim cf haste, Dynes most apparent characteristic as a 'commissioner has been Ills carefulness. Never during his presidency has the business of the board been so pressing, but he could take time to examine minutely each Item on the bills presented for a share of the county's money. Dynes is without ostentation and makes no pretenalona at being anything but a farmer and stock dealer. His shrewdness in tils own business made him an efficient officer and there is none who have become acquainted with him as a commissioner but regret his future absence from the board. . Wiley for President. The new board will be composed of C. E. Wiley, who by virtue of the fact lie is the oldest member in point of erviee will be president, Robert Beeeon and Barney Linderman. Beeson bas been a member of the board for about pne year. . He was appointed to erve the unexpired term of Elwood Clark, resigned. He was elected at the last general election and tomorrow begins his service as a regularly elected commissioner. All three members of the board are republicans. Wiley represents the eastern, Linderman the middle and Beeson the western districts. ...t, ., ..' FOOD fOR THE SEINE. An Incident of Whistler's Student Days In Paris. The early scenes in "Trilby" have nown us the hilarious squalor of the student life in Paris when Whistler fr bm .hvvr v v-j st vaaav on In succession to Pelaroche. It was the Bohemia, barely modernized, of Murger's novel, and the shifts to which these raw recruits Jn art descended furnished Whistler for life with some of bis rsclest stories. Once when an American friend unearthed him Whistler was living on the proceeds of a wardrobe. One hot day he pawned his coat for an Iced drink. Invited one to the American embassy, be had to borrow Poynter's dress suit. But the best story of these frollcsoms days arises from the eternal copying lti the Louvre, either on commission or oil "spec," which kept them alive between remittances. Whistler's chum, Ernest Delannoy, had done a gorgeous replies of Veronese's "Marriage Feast t Cans" that took when framed the nair of them to carrv It. Thev tried It on every dealer up and down both tides of the Seine until the first price of 800 francs had dropped with several thuds to 100, then 20, then 10, then 5. , Suddenly the dignity of art asserted itself. On the Pont des Arts they lifted ths hnm riBTin. "TTn." th aalri with a great swing, "deux, trols v'lan" and over it went into the water with a splash. Sergents de ville came running, omnibuses stopped, snd boats .pushed out on the river. Altogether ft was an Immense success, snd they went home enchanted. Pall Mall Gazette. THE WRONG NOTE.

Mezsrt'a Outbrssk st sn Opers Performance st Marseilles. Mosart being onco on a visit at vfersellles, went Incognito to hear the performance of bis "Vlllanella Rapita." lie bad reason to be tolerably well satisfied till In the midst of the principal aria the orchestra, through some error In the copying of . the score, sounded a D natural where the composer had written D sharp. This substitution did not Injure the harmony, but gave a commonplace character to the phrase and obscured the sentiment of the composer. Mozart no sooner heard It than he atarted up vehemently and from the middle of the pit cried out In a voice of thunder, "Will you play D sharp, you wretches TV . The sensation produced In the theater may be imagined. The actors were astounded, the lady who was singing stopped short, the orchestra followed her example, and the audience, with loud exclamations, demanded the expulsion of the offender. He was accordingly seised snd required to name himself. Be did so. and at the name of If oaart the clamor subsided sad waa sacceeded by shouts of applause from all sides. It was Insisted that the opera should be recommeoced. Mosart waa installed III the orchestra and directed the whole performance.

MYSTERY III CASE Rich Berlin Farmer and Young Woman Found Dead In Room. - THE GAS WAS TURNED ON.

Grand Rapids, Mich., Jan. 2-Deep mystery surrounded the death of Patrick Henry Prendergast, a jlch Berlin farmer, and Alice May MacQuillen, formerly a school teacher in the West Side high school, but now a clerk in a local department store, whose bodies were found in a room in the Clarendon hotel late yesterday afternoon. Gas was flowing from a jet in the room and the woman's face was badly burned by acid -of some kind. The body of Prendergast was stiff and cold whjen found, while that of the woman was still warm when found and it is the opinion of the coroner that she had been dead only about thirty minutes. Prendergast is said to have come from Berlin last Thursday on which day he met Miss MacQuillen. He is said to have been drinking heavily. Coroner Hilliker Is investigating the case. PROPOSALS FOR COUNTY DEPOSITS Seven Banking Institutions Have Filed Their Bids With the Auditor. DEPOSITORY LAW GOOD ONE BENEFITS OF THIS STATUTE HAVE BEEN VERY EVIDENT LOCALLYTEN DEPOSITORIES ARE PROBABLE. Sealed proposals for county deposits have been filed with the county auditor by seven of the banking; institutions of the county. At the present time the funds are cared for by five depositories but this year, it is probable double that number will be entrusted with the custody of the county's money bags upon the payment of the interest specified -by law. The proposals filed are from the Second and Union National banks of this city and the banks at Greensfork, Williamsburg, Dublin, Hagerstown and the Dickinson Trust company. It is expected a proposal will be received from the First National bank of this city tomorrow- and probably one from the First National bank of Cambridge City at the same time. Ten Depositories. . It is expected that each of the present depositories will ask for more money than was placed in their custody during 1908. It is known that more money will be sought in the aggregate than the county will have to place on deposit. It is out of the question for the banks in the smaller and less remote towns of the county to expect any share of the deposits that demand a daily settlement It would not be possible for-the county treasurer to make an accounting with these institutions each evening at closing time. Favor Depository Law. The depositories more remote will be favored with the funds requiring a less frequent accounting. These include the Sarah Phillips and the South End bridge funds. The latter - has about 140,000 in it. , It is a permanent fund and will not be touched until it has accrued in sufficient amount to pay for the construction of the proposed bridge. The value of the depository law to the county has been very evident locally. During the eleven months it has been in operation, more than $4,000 has been paid to the county in interest on funds that formerly drew interest for the treasurer only. THE CLERMONT. First Passage by Stsambeat From New York to Albany. , : In August, 1808 ths exact dsy is a matter of dispute the steamboat Clermont made the first passage by steam from New York te Albany. The distance, somewhat less than 150 miles, wss covered in thirty-two hours, a record bailed as a triumph ta speed, for previously the passsge between the two cities averaged four days. Robert Fulton had experimented with steam severs! years, but the Clermont was the first host he constructed on a large scale. As ha could not set the engine he wanted la this country he ordered one from England. The Clermont was so reconstructed in the following winter that it gave mora commodious accommodations ta travelers, and the year 1808, which was the first year of . regular travel by steamboat, Fulton made It a point to start his boat precisely on scheduled time. Curiously enough, a portion of the public complained of this. It was not until well along in the summer tbst travelers got accustomed to it Previously boats had been held for two hours at the request of platen lers who weren't ready. Fulton's perseverance won public approval before the season closed. Anaconda Standard. Miss Blanche O'lsughlin of Terra Haute has returned home after spending the holidays with Miss Ethel Weasel of this city.

IS TO BE EXPECTED Secretary Thompson Says Organization Suffers No Delusion. DECREASE GRADUALLY v sinwnssn? OPTION COMMITTEE OFFICIAL SAYS INTOXICATION CASE8 WILL BE REDUCED AFTER THE SALOON IS BANISHED. ' Secretary E. R. Thompson of the county local option organization stated yesterday that should the present temperance campaign result in the elimination of the saloons from Wayne county it would not mean that intoxicated people would be unusual sights on the streets of this city. In fact, he stated, for a few months after the saloons had closed more drunken men would be seen in the city than for years past. Intoxication Expected. Secretary Thompson stated that the county temperance organization was not laboring under the impression that the closing! of the saloons would mean the eliimnation of drunkeness, but he said the organization was confident that the passing of the saloons would result in a large decrease in intoxication and that the temptation of drink would be removed from the coming generations. Many drinking men, Mr. Thompson stated, would purchase large quantities of liquor at cost prices when the saloons of this county were closed and, he said, there would be more or less intoxication until these supplies of liquor had been disposed of. This subject will be touched upon by Judge Blair of Portsmouth, O., next Sunday when he opens the temperance campaign in this city. Favor Blind Tiger Law. ' It would not be surprising if the members of the temperance organization would lobby at the present legislature against any amendment to the blind tiger act. The leaders are opposed to any such action, and believe that the present law does not impose any too severe sentence. In fact if the law is repealed, they feel that the county local option law will be weakened by lack of adequate legislation against blind tigers. Mr. Thompson stated that the temptation to make a little money by violation of the law would appeal to many more strongly if the only punishment was a fine. The jail sentence will prevent many blind tigers in dry territory is the belief of those who will probably lobby for the present law. COMMERCECOOIICIL TO OPEII OFFICES Will Establish Headquarters of New Organization at New York. C0RWINE IS IN CHARGE COUNCIL WILL WORK IN UNOFFICIAL CAPACITY WITH ALL DEPARTMENTS OF GOVERNMENT FOR TRADE PROMOTION. Washington, Jan. 2. The national council of -commerce will open offices her Monday. William R. Corwine of New York will be in charge of the headquarters. The council will work in an unofficial capacity with all the departments of the government looking to ' the promotion of trade and commerce of -the United States, foreign and domestic. The movement for the organization of the council was instituted by Secretary Strauss of the department of commerce and labor October 14, 1007. Permanent organization was effected at a meeting held December 10, 1908, at the department of commerce and labor. The executive committee consists of many prominent business men of the country. Animals That Do Net Drink. Darwin states la bur ''Voyage of a Naturalist" that unless the guanaeos, or wild llamas, of Patagonia drink salt water in many localities they mast drink none at all.

SAY, WIS FISH? Is It Interstate Commerce If It Swims Along a Government Stream? STRAUSS SAYS OUGHT TO BE

. Washington, Jan. 2. When a fish is swimming along a government stream is he interstate commerce T Secretary of Commerce Strauss thinks he ought to be, if he isn't and opines that he ought to be sublet to some of the regulative power of the government. He accordingly raised that question and recommends that provision be made for federal control affecting at least the migratory fish in interstate waters. The secretary finds that there is utmost ned for the protection of the fish in American rivers if they are to be saved from entire extinction. CONVICTED, BUT IS LIVING EASY Pennsylvania Grafter, on Bail, Has Apartmentts at Sherry's. UNDER PHYSICIAN'S CARE WHEN ASKED WHAT HIS AILMENT WAS, SANDERSON SAID "YOU CAN STATE IT'S NOT YELLOW DOQISM." New York, Jan. 2. John H. Sanderson, a contractor of Philadelphia, who with James H. Shumaker, Wm. P. Snyder and Wm. L. Mathues, was sentenced to two years imprisonment each for defrauding the state of Pennsylvania out of thousands of dol lars in connection with the decorating and furnishing of the new $13,000,000 capitol building at Harrisburg, but who was released on bail pending their application for a new trial, is occupy ing apartments at Sherry's where he has been under the care of a physician for several days. Immediately after being granted bail pending their appeal Sanderson came to this city and engaged apartments at Sherry's. Over the telephone Sanderson denied that be was seriously ill, saying that he had been laid up for several days with a slight cold. "I feel much better today," replied 1 Sanderson in answer to a question. When asked as to the nature of his re ported illness. Sanderson replied: "Well, if you care to do so, you can state most emphatically that I am not suffering from 'yellow dogism,' " He said he did not know when he would leave the city.

There were not accommodations for all and thousands were forced to postpone their trip until some fu ture time, when the crowd hsd dwindled and the nerves' feel less like a Sicilian city.

"RAT ROW" HAS A FIRE SCARE

Rattletrap Buildings on South Sixth Street Nearly Destroyed last Night. ; CROWD UNSYMPATHETIC ONLOOKERS URGED FIREMEN TO CUT HOLES IN THE ROOFS AND GIVE BLAZE A FAIR OPPORTUNITY, "Rat Row" had another visitation by the fire demon last night about 11 o'clock and escaped with its customary good fortune, owing to its proximity to the fire department headquarters. For fear there may be some who do not- recognize the location of 'Rat Row," for it does not appear under that euphonious name on the map In the city engineer's office, it might be well to state it is located on the east side of Sixth street, first square south of Main. The Charles Nichols' second hand Store. A. F. Brown's Sandusky fish market and . W. B. Owen wagon and shoeing sop were damaged by the impartial' flames. The 'origin is attributed to an overheated . stove in the fish market. An old colored woman named Davis resided above the blacksmith shop. She was led to a place of safety by- Patrolman Vogelsong. , The loss to the Nichols establishment was due solely to smoke. The occupants of the places were unable last night to estimate their losses. It will require an expenditure of about 100 to put the building back into an improved condition. It is owned by John Weller. Insult to Civic Beauty. The buildings bears the numbers 13, 15 and 17. The walls are brickmason trade is to be found some piece in the construction. It was very much of a tumble down contraption and one of the kind that makes civic beauty excursion parties, take another route than South Sixth street, first square! It was a large and cruel crowd that witnessed the listless work of the firemen. One heartless spectator without a qualm, declared: "I'll bet they're having a hot time in Bugville." Firemen were advised to cut a hole la the roof and ''let 'er go," but of course that would not be protecting the property interests of all citizens wtihout respect to race, color or previous conditions, so nothing like that was done. The Thirteen Chisks. How difficult it is to pick out truth or fiction from apparently straightforward recitals of the actions of animals is well shown in a communication sent to one of our foreign exchanges by a man who Isys claim to long experience in breeding game birds. He stated in all seriousness that only two of his pheasant bens hsd batched out seventeen of the eighteen eggs placed under each one In the nests. "It Is a curious fact," be continues, "that both hatched off on the same day, and each hen immediately killed thirteen out of her seventeen live chicks by pecking their brains and laid them la a row In front of her, each exactly In the same way. I shall be glad to know whether such a singular case has ever been noted before." ; So shall I; but, st any rate.

They Lived As Modern Crusoes Scotch Sailors Spend Twenty Days on Lonely Island, Their Jailer Being the Raging SeaRations Short.

Edinburgh, Jan. 2. Eighteen Scots, sealers from the island of Lewis, have just met with adventures such as one reads of In ' Robinson Crusoe.' " In small boats, on a day when the sea was calm as a lake, the men set out for the island of North Rona. forty-five miles distant. They drew up their boats in the only safe landing place, and the whole band at once set ont to hunt the seals. They found hundreds of them, and, getting between them,, killed 320, and secured the skins. Preparations were made to return home the next" day, but during the night the weather broke and instead of launching their boats they had to haul them 100 yards farther up. So rough was the weather that the sealers SLATED FOR CABINET JOB Said Taft Will Appoint Attorney-General. Him Portland, Ore., Jan. 2. Frsncis J.

The polo game to have been played yesterday with the Smiths of Richmond, was postponed due to a death in the family of the manager of the local club. The Smiths had arrived la this city before the postponement wss announced. t "Christmas day is only three hours long in the Finnish town of Tornea," said a traveler. "I spent last Christmas there.
