The Leader boysnre out this morning1
with a Carrier's Edlton which is hon
ored by containing their names as pro
prietors. The edition is printed on fine
paper and contains a splendid New
Years story, '"An Arkansas Prophet"
Any courtesies shown the boys by in
dulgent patrons will bo worthily be
stowed. The Senate Clerkship fight between
James R. llarr and Alex Caino is as
suming all tho proportions of a repeti
tion of the Sleeper-Boxwell Speaker
ship contest. The bympathics of Wash
ington county are of course with Mr.
Uarr, who is a leader in Guernsey
county politics an'l belongs to the Fif
teenth Congressional district Caine is
a good man, but he has been well taken
care of for years past and tho up-to-date
policy of Republicans is to pass
tho soft snaps around among new men
occasionally.
We bow this morning in recognition
of 1S90 and wish our readers a happy
and prosperous New Year. Standing
on the threshold of Marietta the young
gentleman appears to be a lusty youth
worthy iu every respect of his prede
cessor. Marietta has been greatly
favored in growth and business during
tho past twelve months and the
prophecy that she will continue during
1S0G her swift pace of improvement is
satisfying because every condition in
cates that it wi'l bo fulfilled. All hail
the New Year and when his sands are
run may ho leave the world better and
more prosperous than when he finds it
today.

WAS IT MURDER?
Suspicious Clrcumntaucos In Connection
With the Sistor.illle Trugoily.
Tho Leader of Monday morning con
tained an account of a tragedy at Sis
torsvlllo, In which Frank Rodgers was
supposed to have attempted tho lifo of
a fallen woman named Allco McClel
land and then shot himself through
tho heart Tho Coroner's inquest de
veloped some facts justifying the sus
picion that Rodgers and probably tho
girl were victims of foul play. An In
mate of a boat lying near tho ono on
which tho tragedy occurred was heard
coaching a witness to "mako it out
that Rodgers Bhot her." On tho day of
tho inquest It was learned that Rodgers
.had known tho girl but 15 hours, mak
ing it Improbablo that ho should shoot
her because of love or her refusal to
marry him, especially so as ho knew
hor bad character.
Further, Rodgers was shot twico in
tho left breast one of tho bullets pass
ing through his heart and tho other
striking a rib. Physicians say that
the infliction of either wound would
have disabled him so that ho could not
have fired tho second shot. Both bul
lets passed into his body on the left
sid directly from tho front. Rodgers
is known to havo boon a left handed
man and consequently muSt have as
sumed a vory unusual, not to say im
probablo posture to havo fired the shots
himself.
Tho caso will be sifted to the bottom
and tho body may bo exhumed for
further examination.

Hero or Thlof.
A TltUK STOltV.
A certain well known doctor from n
town not far from Chicago wns visit
ing tho city with his wife. Thoy wero
stopping at tho Auditorium and ono
evening as tho' doctor's wife was a
trlflo indisposed, tho doctor wont off
alone to tho thoatre. While In tho car
on his way back ho noticed opposite
him a very fino looking gentleman,
who looked liko a foreigner. When
tho doctor got off tho car at Wabash
nve., the fine looking man got off with
him and stumbling on tho btop caught
hold of tho doctor to keep from falling.
He apologized prof usely and walked up
Wabash Ave. A moment later as tho
doctor felt in his pocket ho discovered
that his watch "was gone. Ho) ImmodJ
lately thought of tho stranger and hay
ing his revolver in his pocket ho start
ed in pursuit and overtaking the man
he poked the revolver In his f aco and
said, "Give up that watch." Tho
stranger shelled out the watch with
great alacrity and tho doctor went
back to his hotel feeling Hk a great
hero.
Ho found his wife sitting up and told
her how near ho had come to losing
his watch anil how ho had recovered
it She broke in with, "Why my dear,
there is your watch on tho dresser,"
He looked and there It was. He toolc
the watch from his pocket and found
it to be a most benutifully inlaid time
piece, evidently very costly.
He had evidently robbed an innocent
stranger and instead of being a hero
he felt himself a common thug.
The doctor advertised the watch in
all tho city papers, but tho stranger
never appeard to claim it, evidently ho
went homo thinking ho had experienc
ed only a regular feature of a visit to
Chicago.
The doctor still has tho watch but
takes no pleasure out of it, and when
anyone asks him the time of day he
takes it as a personal Insult
Condensed Testimony.
Chas. B. Hood, Broker and Manu

at tho Auditorium Thu.-sday night
Wo have recently been celebrating
tho centenuial of the founding of Mari
etta, nnd tho effort to establish the
Rufus Putnam memorial at Rutland,
Vermont has called now attention to
that famous little Ohio colony. Every
thing relating to Marietta is of real in
terest, and exceptionally valuable is
the account of a journey to Marietta
in 179-1 from the journal of Israel Put
nam, a grandson of the great Israel
Putnam, which is published in tho
January number of the NEW ENG
LAND MAGAZINE. It gives us a
ylvid picture of tho -country between
Connecticut and Ohio at that time, and
tho customs of tho people, and it also
affords valuable glimpses of tho little
Marietta settlement, then in its in
fancy. WARREN F. KELLOGG, 5
Park Square, Boston Mass.
A paper of unusual historical value
Is "The Journal of Israel Putnam,"
grandson of tho great Revolutionary
general, detailing his journey to Mari
etta in 1794, and now presented for the
first time. It is valuable not only for
tho vivid picture which it gives of life
and travel in America at that time,
but also for its descriptions of the
little Marietta colony which had just
beon established under General Rufus
Putnam, the writer's kinsman, and
every glimpse of which is peculiarly
Interesting in this day of Ohio centen
nials. "KILLARNEY" a pretty romantic
Irish drama, in four acts, was present
ed yesterday afternoon and last even
ing at Macauley's, and though tho in
clement weather kept away many pat
rons of the theatre, enough enthusiasm
was manifested by the audiences at
both performances to encourage the
players and spur them on to their best
efforts. Thn story whose scenes are
laid in the "Emerald Isle," is ono of
Irish love and devotion, and Is marked
with a charming simplicity that ap
peals to the sympathies of the audionce
Miss Yirgluia Johnson, in the double
role of Kittle Burke and Terry Doyle,
makes a pretty Irish "Sweet-Colleen,"
and is ably supported by Barry O'Nll,
as the young Irish-American, who
fairly shares tho honor with her. The
cast includes Edgar C. MacKay. Em
met Whitney, E. B. Gibson, Leo nurd
man, C. W. Regan, and Misses 'Rene
Pursell and Cora O'Neil, all of whom
assist In making tho play exceedingly
entertaining. During tho action of
the play many catchy bongs were in
troduced, among them being "I Love
You," "Kittle Mahone," "Irish S. re
nude," and "Moonlight on Killarney."
The drama is well staged, and the cos
tumes, of tho eighteenth century style,
are very elaborate. "Louisville Courier-Journal,

Facts.
All should know. . The unnecessary fuel consumed in cast
stoves, and food spoiled by imperfect baking, added together
every two years, are equal in value to all the stoves and
ranges in the United States. Yet housekeepers say "I havo a
good stove now, but will buy a
M
cljSStlC Range
later." Many keop steadily on consuming extra fuel, putting
up with imperfect baking and only partly heating water, when
thoy could save money by buying a MAJESTIC and throwing
their old stovo out of doors.
The Majestic Steel llange is no cxperi
ment; it took 30 years to perfect it.
