BEN F. WILSON
Well Known in This and Adjoining
Counties, Whose Mind Was Un*
balanced, Drank Garbollc
Add and Died Prom the
Effects Thereof.
Becoming tired of this world on
aocounl of financial reverses and
domestic troubles, Ben P. Wilson,
a prominent citizen of this place,
drank a quantity of diluted car
bolic acid Wednesday uighl and
died from the effeots thereof about
11:30 o’clock Thursday morning.
It is thought that his mind had
been affected for some time, he
having received a severe injury a
few years sinoe by being struck on
the bead with a cinder; but no one
thought his brain had become dis
tracted to such an extent as to
cause him to commit suicide.
Mr. Wilson retired to his room
at the Wilson house as usual
Wednesday night, but about eleven
o’clock the sounds of heavy breath
ing were heard eminating fioin his
room, when bis daughter, Miss
Lee, was summoned. LTpon goiinr
into her father’s chamber she dis
covered him unconscious. She im
mediately sent for Doctors Bruns
and Shirley. The physicians re
sponded and administered every
thing known to medical skill to kill
the effects of the deadly potion;
but in this they were unsuccessful,
the patient <1ying about halt past
eleven o'clock Thursday morning.
I he deadly dranght was secured
from a drug store at Ashland, Ky.
After draining the phial of its con
tents Mr. Wilson threw the bottle
and glass oul a window, probably
thinking those who found him
would believe he bad died from
heart trouble, etc.
Mr. Wilson left a note to his
wife, from whom he bad separated,
asking her to oolleot the insurance
carried by him and with it pay all
his debts.
He carried a }3,000 certificate in
the Modern Woodmen of America,
made payable to his son, Franklin,
while it is known that he also car
ried about four thousand dollars in
other oompanies, among them be*
ing the Prudential. To whom
these policies are made payable has
not been made public at this writ
ing.
Ben Wilson was a man who was
always glad to extend a favor to
anyona. Many instances might be
cited where a friend wishing to
borrow money and Mr. Wilson not
having the amount on his person at
the time would go aud secure it for
him.
The bo *y was tenderly laid to
rest last Sundiy afternoon in the
Wilson family cemetery, about two
and a half miles east ot this place.
The services were conducted by Rev.
Richard Wood, assisted by Rev. B
S. Akers, after which Ceredo Camp,
No. 7117, Modern Woodmen of
America, the lodge of which the
deceased was a member, took charge
and the burial ceremonies of the or
der were impressively enacted at
the grave. The funerai was largely
attended and the floral offerings
were numeroustand beautiful.

Parking Aggaulted.
P. P. Parkins, a popular yonngman
who has for some time been working in
the pole yard at this place, was assault
ed by Andy Thompson (who formerly
lived at Brownstown) last Saturday at
Huntington and if the lick had landed a
fraction of an inch lower on the head
wonld have killed him. As it was he
has a bad wonnd.
Parkins had gone to Hnntington to
inspect some poles and discovered that
some one had been catting off the brand
and making posts ont of the poles. He
was stooping over examining a pole
whenThompson.lt is alleged, slipped
op behind him and struck him a terrific
blow on the back of the head with a
loaded cane, after which he fThomp
son) jumped in a skiff and went to
Ohio. He returned to Huntington
Monday and was arrested and fined five
dollars by 'Squire Gregory for the
offense, and in default of payment was
sent to jail for ten days.
Thompson would have been prosecut
ed on the charge of cutting the brand
from the poles, but the state learned the
brand had never been registered and
was compelled to drop the prosecution.

The Liquor Question.
Editor Advance:
I uoticed iu the Advance of the Sid
lust au article “Sin of Iutemperauco.*'
That letter was worthy of ita spac * ou
the froQt page, aud I ouly wish there
were more citizeua who could see like
that writer.
1 believe a man is responsible to his
Creator for bringing about a condition
that is uot best for all th «• aroun 1 him.
No man has the moral or legal right to
place bad intlueuces before his fellow
man, especially trhen the greatest suf
ferers are the in'auts and children, who
are to take the places of their fathers
and mothers iu shaping the course of
this country and the destiny of their own
souls.
There has been enough said through
the press to convince any one iu the
matter of economy. Take the records
of auy well governed city or community
aud they will show that it co*ts more
money to run the government with
the grog traffic than it does the munici
pality without the saloon. Tho revenue
collected will run short of the extra po
licing and the prosecuting of criminals
caused directly or indirectly from whis
ky. But the money view is of the least
value Take the records of your reform
school, jails, peniteutiary ami asylums,
besides 75 per cent, of the dwarfs, ment
ally aud physically, and you oau truce
the cause thereof bacic to the iudueuoe
aud workings of strong drink .
As a rule the saloon has the fast, glit
tering iuducemeuts to lure the boy from
the path his mother has so faithfully en
deavored to implaut iu his mind and
heart. But mice in the saloon, then to
the lewd parlors in the rear; from there
to the drunkard’s and gambler’s hell,
which has destroyed more men and wo
men than any other cuuse on earth,*
This leads to where all may see if they
will only look—90 percent, of all the
poverty , misery aud disease of the hu
man family today. It does not stop
with this. It has cropt into the poli
tics of this the greatest country on earth
and at times has clogged the wheels of
progress It has lobbied around the
law-making bodies and iu a large meas
ure shaped the tone of the laws to gov
ern this land.
lake tne history of Ooredo. We have
had whisky and its revenue; what have
we got a- a reoord to show for it? Noth
ing but a black spot on the records of the
town . For several years we have been
tree of the saloon and its hellish in
fluences ; and when straugers pass thro'
Oeredo they now speak of the nice,
quiet, clean appeurauco of the town
We might improve on this a little; but,
Mr. Voter, when you po to cast your
vote, remember your wife, your daugh
ter, your boy and yourself and consider.
If you have w'hisky at jour door what
will you have gained? You can only
buy as long as you will take money from
your children to pay for it. You can
not run your face for it unless you have
a job to make it secure. Whon your
children are hungry the saloonist wi 1
not give them bread or fuuds with
which to purchase it.
With a saloon here this year your
wife, daughter or mother will not bs
safe outside their door. With the ele
ment on that construction work in Ken
ova it would, to have a saloon in our
town, simply convert Oeredo into a
place for those foreigners to assemble to
drink; the saloon man get the money
and your family the shame, sin and dis
graoi.
So, Mr. Voter, be true to your family,
your oouutry and your God by voting
against whisky with an open vote.
Respectfully,
J. M Werth.

“WHY SHOULD

U/AS PRESIDENT A. LINCOLN’S
■* favorite poem—tbo one which
he loved to reoite and hear re
cited.
Time han wrought wonderful chang
es since Mr. Lincoln stood behind
the counter of a country store in
Illinois and measured out calico at
pre-war time prices, while musing
with his favorite poets.
Yes, things have changed wonder
fully. But the most wonderful ot
all is the miraculous way in which
I. K. Alley has been slashing prices
right and left during the past few
days on his excellent stock of Dry
Goods, Notions, Boots and Shoes,
Groceries, Fresh Meats, etc., etc..
A visit to this store will answer
the poet’s interrogative.
