An associated press dispatch from Middldtown, Ohib, dated Sept. 2, says: ‘‘To^day Charles Rice fired five pistol shots at Miss Elizabeth Funk, three of which took effect, and one proved fatal. Both the murderer and his victim came from Warsaw, N. Y. Rice was arrested.” Rice was at one time in the employ of the Empire salt conipany here, and went west last Spring, accompanied by Mrs. Alice McElwaiU and Miss Caroline Fisk. Mrs. McElWain is said to have died in the poor hotise about two months ago, and the Miss Elizabeth Funk mentioned in the above dfepatch is supposed to be Caroline Fisk, Rice is a middle aged man, a dissolute character Who worked by the day at whatever he could find' to do and never staid long with one em ployer. Miss Fisk was a cripple and a yictim of the morphine habit. Before leaving Warsaw she sold her house and lot to Allen Merchant for $550.

Consequently they receive little. But they have to live. . They get no favors anywhere, for they have no influence to give in return. They pay for everything, and generally they pay too much for it. Here and there is a rich man who could tell if he would where the ext a money of the common people goes. He has the high tariff at his back, and the common people must buy at his own price what he has to sell. His gains are enormous, and much of them represent the over charges which the common people have to. pay. He makes no complaint. Why should he? The rich man, howerer, takes pains to tell the common people that if they meddle with, the priee he; has set on his good they themselvs will be ruined. Cheap food, he says, means famine. Cheap clothing means suffering from cold. Cheap lumber means no houses to live in. Then the rich man goes to Europe, spends $10,000 and never mises the money. He will be back in time for the fall trade. Next winter he will go to California or to Florida for his health. While he is away the com mon people continue to pay for what they get, and ask no favors. The tariff iS not their friend, but they are not look ing for friendship. They merely wish to earn their living, and are quite content to let the rich men do their thinking for them. That is why there is a war tariff in this country after nearly a quarter of a century of profound peace.— News, - :y':/\ D e m o c r a t tie CI u I k V The democrats of Warsaw met at Squire Rnapp’s office Friday evening last, and formed a club to be known as the Cleyeland & Thurman Club, of War saw. Dr. Denton acted as chairman, M. W. Campbell was elected president of the club, C. M, Nichols viee-presi- dent; Geo. E. Jennmgs treasurer, and W. C, McNally secretary. The presb; dent was empowered to appoint three members who should, with; the officers elected* constitute the executive com mittee, Joseph Fields was given charge of the democratic banner. E. H.

Major Rnapp’s.office. The club is a large one, at the start there being 183 names on the list, and. there are many democrats who have -not ye£ joined. On orie fist of, niiiety-three there were thirieen names of men whowoted for Blaine, ten who east their first Presidential vote this fall, and six who vote in Warsaw the first time this year ., Air. .Campbell apr pointed on the executive eGmmittee, W.

P.; Gage won the one mile amateur bicycle lace, the prize being a handsome gold badge valued at $20. F . E. Norton was second in the half-mile race and received a Victor bicycle saddle. Mr. Norton could easily have won the half-mile race but for an unfortunate “header” he took at the outset. He pli* ckily remoianted hewever, - in spite of cuts on face and knees from \vhich the blood was streaming, and came in second. Twenty-two young men, the majority of them members of the War saw bicycle club, met their victorious comrades on the arrival of the train from Hornellsville, lifted them bodily from the car and “loaded” them, with their wheels into a carriage. Flanking the carriage, eleven oh; each side, they escorted the two victors to Rucker’s, where supper was served. At this point the drum Corps, just- returning from Rock Glen, joined the procession and Bert and Frank were drummed ahd fifed to their respectivu homes. Over. 13xcrtion.'

A glance at the books of the assessors, now ready for the supervisors, gives ssm9 idea < f what we are worth, though we suspect there may be some in the town who would dislike to sell by the assessor’s figures. A hasty calculation shows that the real estate within the corporate limits of the village is worth about $1,092,485; the personal property amounts to $226,910,. or that is about the amount the assessors found. It may be there is a stray dollar or two in some deep pocket or in some old stocking that they failed to locate. If such should be the case no one but the owner, probably will care how soon it is discovered and put on the list. Outside of the village there is said to be about $631,165 worth of real estate. It is noticeable that there must be either less personal property in proportion to real estate value in the country or else they have better hiding places for the assessors have only found $18,040 worth outside the corporation. It was quite a surprise to us to learn that there were but 134 dogs in the whole town, for some nights it seems as if there were at 135 howlmg withini earshot. ; A N ia g a r a Coxinty S e n s a tio n . Mrs* Ella Mi.

M, Lymburner,; whibh was' burned Wednesday mornmgl She Was taken to lipckport and cbnfined iff the Niagara bpuhty jail. There is no positive evi dence against her but it is known that she bitterly hated the people occupying the house, relatives of her father’s \sec ond ^wife. There can be \little question that Mrs. Kean' is partially insane. T«e malady is due to her habit of being aiAinprdinafe consumer of morphine and other stimulants. She has been addict^ ed to their iBbhsumption for several years past. She is thirty-seven years of: age but looks much younger. She has been the mother of eleven children, seyeu of Whom are; 1 iyihg; the youngest is only four weeks Old. h e i n p c r a t i c llieetin g .
