Searchers Have Quit
J,
n Despair.
Still
Jo Trace of Aged George
Rathburn of Richfield.
The disappearance of George Rath
b'prn from his home In Richfield town
ship will probably be consigned to tho
list of unsolved mysteries. Tho search
ing parties have disbanded, nnd thero
is no longer hope that he will be
found alive, and little hope that his
body may be discovered.
The theory that he may have been
drowned in the Cuyahoga river Is dis
puted by many of his neighbors. In
the Democrat Thursday It vas stat
ed that the river was within a mile
of the Rathburn home, but a citizen
of Richfield has corrected this. He
says that the river Is three miles
from Mr. Rathburn' b home, and that
In his enfecb)ed condition the old
man could not hare walked that far.
Borne one suggested that thero might
have been foul playV but no stock Is
taken in this theory. His- neighbors
claim that Mr. Rathburn ddn't hae
an enemy und that he also had no
money.
All the opon wells in the neighbor
hood have been' examined, and so
have the caves and ravfnes. Every
thing possible has been done to find
him, and now the seaichers have quit,
admitting that the mystery is great
er than they can solve.

"This Is Wrong. I Know It,

Anyhow," Said lona.
Springfield, O., July 4.-Tho testi
mony In tljo case against lona Chan
cellor, the 13-year-old girl, chaiged
with poisoning her foster mother,
Mys. barab Turner, is completed. Mny
Holland, who was held as an accom
plice to lona for several weeks, tes
tified that while In Jail lona made a
confession to her. Accoidlng to her
statement lona said that Mr. Tur
ner accused her of putting the poison
In the coffee, and she denied it. Then
bfc led her by the 'arm into the room
where the remains of Mrs. Turner
were and the sight, of the coipse made
her nervous. Sho weakened aud ad
mitted that she had poisoned the fam
ily, lona further said, accoidlng to
Mny, that sho got te poison In the
woodshed and nt t into the cotfee
pot1 with a tablespio'n. As lona did
it she kept twlng to" herself; "This
Is wrong. I knowU, but I will do It,
anyhow."
The defense did not 'deny that the
girl did the poisoning, but simply
tried to pro that she had been tiuol.
ly treated and mcglected.
The reunion of tho lOTth-Heglment,

campfire was held in G. A. R. hall.

Cincinnati, July 4. Dr. Clara Bruce

and -spoke on dress reform here before
the Twentieth Ceptury. club. The
dress consists of a plain red skirt and
white shirtwaist with fuU'eleeves fas
tened with small cuffs. pr.,Bricesald:
"I would have a Police board, ap
all, cost $1.25. Sly reform Viress is so
simply made that' any woman can
make one. My Idea Is that we women
have one style of dress that will al
ways be recognized as being Jn stylet
no .matter how many prevailing new
styles there "may come In.
"I think i? would be a good plan to
distribute printed cards asking women,
who are willing to Introduce tha plain
l dress style to sign the card and wear
tlie dress. I haie 30 women already
who are willing to wear the reforia
dress at a reception which I will give
In September."
