gashes In his face and all over his body,
applied fire to his feet and hands, aud
ended their brutality by scalping him. He
suffered untold agonies, and prayed that
death might relieve him. Finally he fell
into a faint, and upon awakening he
found himself being kindly cared for in a
miners cabin. The miner had picked
him up and carried him long distance on
horseback. Neff suffered weeks Of eXcru-
ciating pain and raved with fever, and
as soon as he was able TO travel he took
the road for home.
A reporter asked Neff how it felt to have
his hair lifted.
1T Is dreadful sensation" he said.

.4TH OF JULY.

Hurrsh for the glorious Fourth was here,
The noisiest. happiest day of the year
The peppers may shoot,
The cannon may roar
And gunpowder smell
Like all embryo war;
And Johnny may blow up
His hand all to bits
And frighten his mother
Clean out Of her wits;
Burn holes in his clothing,
Spoil his new hat,
But the Fourth is glorious day for all
that
What if he does burn holes in his clothes :?
J. NJ. Knote keeps clothing, As everyone
knows;
And after the glorious
Hubbub is past,
And the sores and burns
Are healed at last
Johnny can walk with
His ma to my store
And buy new suit
For the one that is tore
For J. VI. Knote's low prices
Have led him to fame,
And the FUuth is glorious day all the

A Victim of the Plano Plague.

A German savant, who had long been
suffering from the everlasting pianocorte
playing next door, has devised the follow
ing method of putting a stop TO it at
pleasure: An electric battery was CON
nected with a powerful electro-magnet
Whenever a current of electricity was
turned on ITS effect could easily be felt
through the wall by the horizontal steel
strings in the piano, which was instantly
put ont of tune. Whenever the electric
current was stopped, which occurred as
often as the victim OF the piano plague
went out, the mystical influence stopped
and Miss Else, the offending pianist, could

A War Against Doodle.

The Columbus Dispatch seems TO have
some doubt whether any good resulted from
the republican editorial convention held at
Columbus. 1t was not entirely fruitless of
results, notwithstanding the chunk of ice the
Dispatch held TO its head and bowels. 1t
was not supposed that any new evidence
would be developed at this convention, or
that the United States senate would at once
hold an extraordinary session to consider
its utterances.
What the convention did do was to sound
the keynote of the political music Of the
pending campaign and suggest plank for
the next national republican platform de-
claring for purity in politics. And 50 clean
and high-toned and ievel-headed paper as
the Dispatch ought to be among the inst to
take up and push the suggestion.
That which has in it the greatest peril to
the principle of popular government is the
practice of buying votes and political
influence 1t is the privilege of Ohio
republican editors 10 take the
leadership in crusade against
Doodle; TO take this corrupt coal-oil creature
by the throat and choke it to death, and to
disSect its remains and divide up the rattles
among museums, to be preserved As speci-
men features OF the dominant faction in
the Ohio democracy of the present period.
In doing this effectively the republicans
OF Ohio are not dependent on the United

Evarts, Logan and Teller. They have
given them some points as to their duty.
but the effective work they will do them
selves in the pending campaign, and espe-
cally at the polls at its close The coal
oilers must be beaten and crushed in Ohio

eliminated from the atmosphere.

that all citizens will cooperate with them.
