Death of Mrs, Mccall.

Mrs. Susan P. Mccall, wife Of J. J.
Mccall, and daughter Of James NJ and
Mary Jane Cole, died at Webster, last
Saturday morning, at 3:15 o'clock aged
43 years, 4 months and Z days. She
was born in Oak Hill, Jackson coun-
ty, O., August Both, 1910. She was
married to J. J. Mccall at the resi-
dence of her father, in Webster, on
the 14th Of January, 1873. She leaves
four children, all girls, named respect
lively, Hattie, aged ten, Nellie, eight,
Stella F. and Susie P, two years old.
She had been a member of the
Methodist Episcopal church for a
number of years, and died, leaving
evidence behind that she has gone to
better world than this.
She was operated upon for cancer,
in Portsmouth, where they then lived,
on the 18th Of April, 1888, by DIR.
Dawson, of Cincinnati, but unsuccess-
fully,
The funeral services were held at
Webster last Sunday forenoon by
Rev. Mr.. Dillon, of Biglow M. E.
church, this city. Although Sunday
was bitter cold, several friends Of the
family from this city attended the
funeral.
We find the above in the Ports
mcuth Times. The Sen. editor Of the
Sta ndard we'll remembe the deceased
as a lovely child Of two years old,
when he was married, at the residence
of Mr.. Cole, July 3, 1912. Mr.. Cole
then lived where Capt. Evans now
lives, half a mile north Of Oak Hill i.

The Trouble Commenced!

In the Ohio Legislature, Mr.. Love,
Rep.) introduced bill providing for
equal civil rights, without regard to
race, color, or previous condition Of
servitude," and providing that all vio-
lations of such law shall be punished
by the assessment Of a fine of
five hundred dollars and costs.
Mr.. Matthews (Rep.) Of Gallia, also
introduced a civil rights bill. Mr..
Stilwell Dem bobbed up and object
ed to Mathews bill, and hope it
would be rejected" "We might as
WE'LL" said he, "put stop to the in
PRODUCTION of such bills now" Allen
O. Myers seems to have an ambition
to be the Jumping jack" and ''gener-
al utility" man Of this Legislature,
and AllenSlet fly broadside Of his
illimitable CAB, declaring that Jeff.
Davis freed the colored men-which,
you see, is giving all the glory to the
Democratic party-and divers equally
silly things did Allen say, then petered
out, with slow music and red lights.
Then bob" Jones arose. When
Bob" gets up the Democrats general
ly want to get out. For bob" deals
in hard cold facts, and when he drives
nail in the Democratic coffin, he
invariably takes time to clinch it.
The Democratic majority had just
come in from the streets, hotels, and
other places, where they had been ac-
cusing one another of having been
purchased by the Standard Oil Com
pany to vote for Payne for Senator,
and were in good trim to hear Mr..
Jones read, as he did, the resolutions
passed by the Ohio Democratic State
Convention of 1859, declaring that
colored men should not be allowed to
vote, or have any political rights, and
declaring that "this is white mans
Government or words Of like i'm
port. That Convention acas presided
o0er by Henry b. Payne.
Thus the Democratic majority Of
the Ohio Legislature has already
shown up as the bitter, unrelenting
enemy of the colored man. and thus
have the Democratic statesmen of
Ohio fallen in, once more, as the camp
followers and scavengers after the
Solid South. In one Of Myers
flights he is reported as saying. 'We
are now, if you please, playing a game
of demagogy. We are going to get
the colored vote. We have discover
ed that the negro is human" Mr..
Myers afterward denied this remark,
but the reporter Of the Commercial
Gazette claims to have taken it down
in short hand, and declares that the
speaker used the words. This Legis-
lature bids fair to eclipse the motor
ious Q'Conner Legislature.

Those Fading Scenes!

We still occasionally see the faint
CLEAN Of the campfire, as some old
soldier lights It by a touch Of his pen.
Some Of the papers Of this State make
separate department CT 'War Re
miniscences." These are always in
teresting, especially to those who with
stood the baptism Of fire" in order
to demonstrate the fact that this
Union was not composed of a bunch
of States, tied together with string.
But get one gleam Of the old camp
fire, and the whole scene-hillside
and valley, sanAy plain and tangled
forest, peaceful slumber and roaring
fray-stands forth with full illumi-
nation, as clearly defined as the scenes
and experiences Of yesterday. While
reading the printed recollections Of
old soldier-boYs, we can see our own
experience passing before us Hike a
clearly marked panorama, and it may
not be amiss-and may possibly in
terest some of our younger readers
to give few simple pictures, as show
ing some Of the experiences of those
dark days:

A great food Of bills are being pre-
sented to Congress, having for their
object large increase of the Pension
Roll. This Pension business is Gu
riosity One would naturally suppose
that after awhile-say in twenty years
after the close Of sthe war-some of
the pensioners would begin to drop
off; that as time wore on, the Pension
list would gradually grow less; but the
fact is, although new generation Of
men have come on since the war was
practically closed, the old soldiers
Pension list is rapidly increasing. Of
course there is a cause for this. It
lies in the fact that men who never
saw days hard service, yet who were
mustered into the service during the
war, and who were ashamed to apply
for pensions shortly after the war, are
now, aud have been for the past few
years, being encouraged by the circu-
lars sent out by Pension Quacks at
Washington, to make the attempt to
secure pensions.
We had a practical illustration of
the kind Of men who are increasing
the Pension Roll, a year or so ago. A
man who had enlisted in the company
to which we belonged. and who had
enlisted as one-year man, as it was
scarcely that long from the time of
his enlistment until the close Of the
war, came into our office, and began
talking over old times" It was but
few minutes until he began speaking
of the failure Of his health. We
knew from observation that he had
been a regular consumer Of dog-leg
whisky-whieh kills more men than
the bullets Of an enemy-and that he
could not possibly enjoy good health
until he got sober and remained sober.
Old soldiers will remember that the
waters of some of the Southern streams
notably the Tennessee River-pro-
duced peculiar, and exceedingly in
convenient ailment, which, iii its de-
mands, was as relentless as fate itself.
Well, our old friend contracted that
disease-just as thousands Of others
did-and recovered from it, entirely.
On this day in our Office he asked:
Don't you remember how sick I was
there on the banks Of the Tennessee
River?" We replied that we were too
sick there to notice our comrades.
"Well," said he, 1--WE never been in
good health SINCE. and I always
thought [ ought to apply for Pen
sion" We replied, in as courteous
terms as the desperate state Of the
case would permit, that ne knew he
ought not to have a Pension. The
ailment from which he was now suffer-
ing was produced and perpetuated By
whisky, and, in fact, he wanted the
U. S. Government to pay him Pen
sion for being drunk.

The Chillicothe papers are quarrel
ing over the wonderful powers of a
"Mesmerist" at that place, who makes
people do ''just as he commands them. ="
Also, he lis known to have made peo-
Piles arms as rigid as bars of iron, SIM
ply by a word Of command" Now,
without expressing doubts Of the Pro-
fessor's powers, we can tell the Bot
tomites how they can turn these pow
ers to some useful work: Last week a
lot of bummers and roughs collected a
lot Of fighting cocks, went to Emmitt's
Distillery, and kept the chickens fight
ing from Tuesday until Thursday.
Now, as the Chillicothe papers admit
that the officers will motor, at least,
do not-get hold Of such outrages,
why not employ the Professor to para
lyze the roughs, and thus render them
powerless to perpetrate acts Of cfnel-
ty?
Yet the exercise of mesmeric power
must be very exhausting, as witness
the following from an interview in a
Chillicothe paper:
''Is not the strong effort necessary
to exert this influence very exhaust
ing?"
'It is. Frequently, after giving an
evenings exhibition, my underwear is
about as completely filled with moist
ure as if had just been pulled from
river"

In the Democratic caucus at Col
umbus, Henry B. Payne was nomina-
ted in the first ballot for U. S. Sena-
tor. 1t was very evident that the
nominee was highly Objectionable to
a very large portion Of the Democrat
ic party of Ohio, and numbers of re-
monstrances poured into Columbus,
urging members to work for Pendle-
ton or Ward and against Payne. 1t
is freely charged, and from Demo-
cratic sources, that the nomination of
Payne was purchased, as he is consid-
cred the representative of great
monopoly, and the Democratic party,
be it known, are always opposed to
monopolies. Whatever the cause
which created the influence, it is GER
tain that the influence brought to bear
upon the members at Columbus was
far more potent than the wishes of
their constituency. When Demo-
crat votes for candidate with the ex-
pectation that the candidate, if elect
ed, can go to Columbus and resist the
influence of political tricksters, he is,
in too many cases, like the farmer
who would turn his hogs into his
corn-feld, after telling them not to
to eat any Of the corn. A Democrat
ic politician can no more resist the in
fuence brought to bear by the trick
sters of his party than fish can re-
sist water.

CURED BY ANGER!
We were one night detailed, in
company with fellow soldier to sit
up with two sick comrades. In order
to render the task less lonesome if
possible, we agreed to both sit up
during the entire night. Both Of these
men were considered very near the
point OF death. One was patient, the
other of that nervous irritable dispos-
ition which finds fault with anything
and everything,
We concluded to while away por-
tion Of the night by reading to one
another, in an adjoining apartment of
the barracks. But before dozen
words had been read, the irritable man
called to us. We sprang to the door
to see what was wanted.
"You must stop that reading said
he, "for [ can't stand the noise.n
So the reading was dispensed with
Our companion had an old greasy pack
Of cards that had served to drive
away the loneliness Of many a dreary
hour Of camp life, and he proposed a
game. Very few soldiers but who
learned, either by experience or obser-
vation, how to play all of the games
played by cards, and we agreed to tackle
our companion in game, merely for
a pastime. He took up the cards, ran
his fingers over them, causing yigo-
rous tapping of the cards. Immedi-
ately the nervous man screamed:
you'll kill me with your noise, you
must stop it!' said he. So the card
business went into bankruptcy at
once.
We resolved to sit quietly by the
light Of our solitary candle, and await
orders from our sick friends; but we
had not maintained that silent atti-
tude more than fifteen minutes until
the irritable man impatiently called
out again. "Jap," said we, addressing
our comrade, whose name was Jasper,
''you SO this time
Our friend was one of those jolly,
rough spoken fellows, who say SEEM
ingly heartless things without intend
ing any harm. He hastened to the
door Of the room and inquired what
was wanted:
"Oh,' said the irritable man, You'll
have to put that light out. l can't
stand the light"
Now you look here!' said Jap,
IF ! hear any more Of your Crawling
tonight, I'll be -- - if [ don t
spank you within an inch of your
life"
1t was time when language failed
with the sick man. He was almost
choking with rage. But the result
proved that Jap thoroughly under
stood human nature, and his treat
ment of the case was far more sue
cessful than that Of the physician, for
the very rage into which he threw the
sick man, infused a new energy into
him, and he really ''got well, because
he was mad"
