Wapakonjeta, O., Jane 2.—A. modem
Bine Beard has been practicing his har¬
row in Clay township, this county, about
six miles east of this city, in a most
respectable and quiet neighborhood.
Auglaize county has produced a man
who even excels that famous character
o t hobg oblanism in the mortality of his
wives. Charitable neighbors say that
the awful death rate among George
Reinhart's wives is simply misfortune,
as in forty-two years he bas had six
wivee, „)! of whom but the last one are
dead: but, since he is responsible for
tlie delicate condition of his 14-year-old
grand-daughter, it may be almost rea¬
sonable to say that a mystery exists in
his household. So far the wretched
villain 1.;- gone unpunished, but this is
due to the fact that the existing state
of affairs was unknown to the authori¬
ties here. Reinhart is 70 years old, hut
is strong and possesses unusual vitality.
He was married at 27, and his first wife
lived four years and bore him three
children. Then Christina Pulsfer, a
neigubor, came to bis household. She
lived long enough to hear three children.
The third woman to enter his home was
Christie Schlicbtig. She lived but a
year, and her sister was induced to take
her place as a wife. She at the end of
eight and years after had slept borne beside him five her children, sister
soon in
the cbnrch yard. His neighbors began
to wonder at Reinhart’s misfortunes.
He next married a widow named Toland,
who already had three children, and
with them and the widow Reinhart
came into possession of ten acres of land.
She died after a four years’ residence in
the who household, owed their leaving four to her children, second

A 40-year-old spinster named Bechtel

Cincinnati, June 2.— There is a good
deal of feeling in this city among the
prominent Jews over the failure of the
Grand Army of the Republic to deco¬
rate the soldiers’ graves in their ceme¬
tery on Walnut Hill. There are seven
soldiers burled there, moet of them of¬
ficers, but they were neglected by their
comrades. The graves in the German
Protestant cemetery, just beyond that
of the Jews, were decorated, as were
those of the soldiers in all the grave-
yords in the city. It is said that last
year the Grand Army men had some
trouble about fares to the cemetery, and
decided that they woald not attend to
men declare that they were compelled to
pay their farm on the street cars two
years ago, and that is the reason that
they will not go to the Jewish cemetery.
Just opposite the cemetery is a large
beer saloon and concert hall, the pro¬
prietor of which offered to pay the ex¬
penses of all who wished to decorate the
soldiers’ grave#, but the offer was re¬
fused.
