bulldogs attacked group of childre q
at play in the village of Lindenville, :,
Ashtabula county, just over the Trurl-

left them in terrible condition. Tie
children were playing on the com;
mons, just coming home from school.
The dogs had been roaming about TIE
village and had been closely watched.
AS they neared the children the latteis
playing seemed to madden the brutos
and at them they flew. A terrible
scene ensued, Four of the children
escaped to their homes, but Minnie
Jones, Sadie Strong, Jane Applegate
and Mary Detrick were frightfully
bitten and mapgled. The village is
wild over the matter. Physicians are
using all their power to ease the suf-
ferings of the little ones.

Fuss i'm the Family.

Ever since the special message of
Gov. Foraker relating to the subject
of taxation and revaluation of the real
estate of the State, the "hit birds"
have been publishing cards attacking
the position of the Gov and the wives
and daughters of the shoddy aristoc-
racy of Columbus propose to socially
" boycott" Mrs. Gov. because Mr.. Gov.
proposes that the aforesaid birds shall
pay taxes on a large amount of securi-
ties which by false returns have long
been hidden from taxation.

Tomorrow is designated by yGovernol

Tomorrow is designated Ex-Governor
Foraker as Arbor Day. An exchange
appropriately remarks:
Every farmer in the State should
plant trees along the higways, and
start q small forest on such part of his
farm as he can devote to this purpose,
and he will find it good Investment
in the long run. 1t is doubtful wheth-
er a day for tree planting would ever
have been suggested if the grave evils
of forest destruction had not asserted
themselves in the loss of millions Oh
dollars worth of property by flood and
drought. It is very important that
the value of q thick growth of trees as
a storage reservoir for moisture should
not be forgotten because of the notion
that planting trees for ornamental
purposes, and for shade around houses,
is fit and complete observance of
Arbor Day.

The eruption of Mount Etna is de-
clared to be the most sudden and ter
rible ever beheld by the inhabitants
OF the surrounding country. Eleven
craters are active. The central one
disgorges only smoke and ashes, but
from three others huge stones are
thrown up a prodigious height. The
lava streams in some parts are 600
feet wide, and are flowing down the
mountain side and through the fertile
valleys, destroying the crops and set
ting the woods on fire. The small
town OF Nicolosi and Belpasso are
threatened with destruction and many
OF the inhabitants havefed. No lives
seem to have been lost, but numbers
OF people are homeless, the earth
quake shocks having destroyed their
houses, OF the showers OF ashes and
lapilli having obliged them to seek a
refuge elsewhere.

a Trick in Drawing sIip..

The boys think they do some pretty sharp
tricks in politics, but I've yet to hear Of some
thing better than the way Breckenridge del
egation was elected in tho csd Fourth ward
II was before the war. ss.i we were divided
into Breckenridge sIh Douglas men Jim
George, who alJe,0ard went south, was for
Douglas. Ex-Sheriff Turner Maddox was
the Breckenridge leader. We met to elect ten
delegates TO the convention, and the vote was
tie. We tried it again and tied Finally
our side made proposition to put the twenty
names, ten Douglas and ten Breckenridge
men, into hat, and then have an outsider
draw ten slips, those TO be the delegates Jim
George was afraid there was some trick and
wouldn't consent. We offered to let him fur
nish the hat and hold It; then he gave in.
The names were written and put into the tall
silk hat and George held it. Billy Mcdonald,
q printer, lived out of the ward, and we
brought him in to draw the slips. He was blind
folded and his shirt sleeves rolled up above
his elbows. George held the hat between his
knees. Mcdonald drew slip and 1t was
Breckenridge man. He drew another and it
was another Breckenridge man. He kept on
until the ten slips had been drawn, and every
one Of them was a Breckenridge man George
sat there, his face growing longer and longer
When the tenth name came out he tarned
the hat upside down and the ten Douglas
names fell on the floor. He stood up, looked
into his hat, grabbed the lining and tore it
out. Then he threw the hat, new one, ON
the floor, stamped ON it and kicked it across
the room. After awhile he cooled down and
said, swell, I'll stand by it, but I'll give you
fellows a champagne supper at Hambright's
Chat was the big restaurant In those days; it
is the Metropolitan now to tell me how you
did it." We took his supper and his wine and
told him. He had written his names with
pencil, and we had used ink You see that
was before the days of blotting paper, and we
dried the ink with sand The printer could
tell the sanded slips as soon as he touched
them. III. ST. In Globe Democrat.
