Here is pleasant editorial paragraph
from the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
of Friday:
Two men in the Dayton state republican
convention were gifted with the sasacity
and tact to do the right thing at the right
time. One was Foraker in his Sherman
speech, which will be a landmark in his
life. The other was the declination OF
Colonel Bushnell, Of Springfield, as can
didate for delegate-at-large. 1t was not
much for him to ask that place in consid-
Grafton of his services TO the party, and il
was good deal for him to decline it for
the sake of harmony, and to make 1t. II
there is anything in their line Bushnell
wants, he should let the boys know.
The following is an editorial expression
from Major Bickham, In the Dayton Jour
nal:
General Bushnell captured the republican
convention by the handsome manner of his
settlement of a dispute on the result of the
balloting for delegates-at-large. -Four out
of five delegates had received a majority
Of the votes of the convention. His friends
who had not analyzed it, did not imme-
diately comprehend how this could happen
and demanded another ballot. General
Bushnell, who had received the smallest
vote Of the four. although msjority OF the
convention, promptly settled the dispute
by manfully Withdrawing his name and
moving a suspension of the rules-that
Foster, Mckinley and Butterwor,h should
be declared the unanimous choice of the
conyention-and the motion carried, with
applause for Bushnell.

Memorial to Adouiram Judson.

The Rev. DR.. Edward Judson, OF the Be
rean Baptist church at Bedford and Down
ing streets, proposes to build in New York,
Oh the East side. among the homes of the
poor, church edifice which shall stand as a
memorial to his father, Adoniram Judson,
who belonged to the first group of mission
aries that ever came TO this country to labor
among the heathen.
THE American board of commissioners for
foreign Missions said DR.. Judson day or
two ago, "the great society which represents
the Congrcgationalists of this country, was
organized to support him and his fellow
workers. But as he turned Baptist on his
voyage TO India, the Christians of that de-
domination in this country rallied for his
support, and so n new society was organized,
which is now called the American Baptist
Missionary union and raises and spends an
nually about S400.000 All this occurred be-
tween 1872 and lS14 He labored Tor nearly
forty years in India and was buried at sea

The story a, c,,,i.t,ap Lorsch.

Some months ago a msu nsIned Christian
Lorsch, who had. with his wife and three
children, emigratei from Germany, reached
this city. A stranger in n strange land,
ignorant of its customs and the ways Of its
people, unfamiliar with its language, and
without a single friend, he found it difficult
matter to find employment. he worked at
odd jobs whenever lie could get them, but
could not earn enough to keep the wolf rom
bowling at his door. His family took sick
and starvation stared them in the face. In
A moment of desperation--it seemed at that
time the mockery Of despair-he sat down and
wrote II letter to. his old liege, the Emperor
William, Of Germany. Into that letter, writ
ten in the simplicity that ever attends upon
sincerity, he poured his hearts saddest sor-
rows, sealed it and mailed it as one in
dream, and returned to battle with the world
and fight against his hapless fate.
Four or five weeks rolled around and one
morning the mail carrier left registered
letter at his door. Something Of I.orsch's
astoniShment can be imagined when it Is
known that on opening the letter he found it
to contain draft for comfortable sum of
money and a personal letter from the en-
peror bidding him to be of good cheer, but II
he could not find steady employment and
wished to return to Germany he tthe EN-
perorI would send money to pay the expenses
Of tho family's return to Germany. After
the first transports of joy Lorsch took the
letter to the Rev. Rertzler, pastor Of the
German Methodist church Of this city. The
reverend gentleman Interested himself in
the mans behalf and secured for him the
ianiUorship at the Young Mems Christian
association building, where he is now work
ing. When the news of the emperor's death
reached this city Lorsch was met on tho
street by gentleman, who, seeing that he
was plunged into deepest grief, inq:sired its
cause. 1t was then that the story as here
narrated came ont, and it is safe to assert
that not in America or in the fathcrland did
the late Emperor William have more sim
ccre mourner than Christian Lorsch, OF
Peoria.-Peo-ia Qlls,) Democrat.

KANSAS BRiGANDS
Abduct an Aged and Wealthy Lady and
Hold Her for n Ransom,

WICHITA, KAs., April pa sensation
has been caused here by the abduction OF
Mrs. Eliza Nixon, an aged and wealthy
lady, from her residence, No. 322 North
Mosley avenue. Mrs. Nixon is 81 years old
aud has large amount of realty and other
property. She has been living with a
niece. her nearest relative, for number of
years, and Is quite inhrm- The niece says
Q strange man came TO the house and had a
talk with Mrs. Nixon concerning a law suit
begun against her for s., 500 in land con-
troversy. This strange man went away and
soon returned with another man and cab.
The second wore star. and from this the
niece supposed he was an officer, and that
they were at the house concerning the law
suit.
The niece says she did not pay any par
6cular attention to the men or her aunt
and that she first missed them upon going
into the room where they had been talking
with the old lady and found them all gone
A neighbor woman saw the two men carry
ing Mrs. Nixon into the cab and the vehicle
driven rapidly away. 1t was not long be-
fore the authorities were informed of the
abduction and search was begun. Not the
slightest clue to the whereabouts of the
old lady has thus far been obtained. Some
think she was removed by friends to avoid
law suit, while Others think she was
stolen with the object of ransom for her

WINTER WHEAT.
Shortage Of From Eighteen to Thirty.six
Million Bushels as Compared With
Preceding Crop.

shortage Of From Eighteen to Thirty six
Million Bushels as Compared With
Preceding Crop.
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, April 20.-The prime
winter wheat crop report in the North
western Miller, says: The developments of
the last fourteen days, and particularly the
last seven, have put large percentage Of
the winter wheat in q condition where
there Is no longer any doubt. April has
been favorable. Sunshine and plenty of
moisture, but both have failed to give the
favorable change that was hoped for. In
formation of q reliable character at this
stage of tho month puts the shortage in the
winter wheat belt at from lS.000,00 to
sc, ,OOO, 900 bushels, as compared with the
pSeceding crop.
The most favorable reports still continne
from Kansas, but correspondents recently
report decrease in some portions, rs COM
pared with former seasons. Tho winter
wheat belt has moved westward in Kansas,
and the chances for prosperous season are
by no means as favorable ss when the
great bulk of the wheat was grown in the
eastern portion of the State.
The outlook in some portions Of Missouri,
particularly in the Missouri river valley,
were never better; in ether parts the out
look is Just the reverse. Correspondents in
Texas are highly encouraged. not only
with the outlook for wheat, but the general
crop prospects. Ample moisture would
carry the wheat to harvest. The last four
teen days in Tennessee and Kentucky have
been unusually favorable, but at the north
have lacked the sunshine, and the wheat
has bsen recovering good deal Of lost
ground.
Illinois now promises to give the poorest
yield per acre than any State in the winter
wheat belt and while other States have
held their own, there has been continued
depreciation in the general situation there
since the first of April. In Indiana it is
not quite Is bad. From half to three
fourths of the acreage is in good condition
and promises an average crop. The re-
mainder ranges from fair to very poor.
Taking the State of Ohio as . whole, and
particularly the southern portion of it, the
showing at present is poor snd discourag-
ing as with good rains ther has been no
corresponding general improvement
In Ontario, so far, wheat is all right.
There have been few trying days and cold,
bleak winds, and the wheat looks brown.
but its actual condition will not be known
until growing weather puts in an appear
ance. The stocks of wheat in dealers
hands in Ontario, are almost nothing.
Millers are unable to get winter wheat to
keep mills going, and report better de-
mand for -four.
Washington Territory has 8 fair prospect,
but the ground is not as wet as usual.
Can do without rain until June. No sur.
plus on hand from last years crop.

Springfield was pretty well honored by
the state convention. General Keifer was
temporary chairman; Mr.. E. NJ. Campbell
was one of the permanent secretaries; Rev
DR.. Rust offered prayer at the
opening of the session Thursday; No
man, with the exception of Senator Sher-
man and Gov ernor Foraker, received more
decided tokens Of favor and approval than
our General Bushnell, and q native of this
city, who grew up among us-Captain Alb.
Il. Mattox-wss nominated for the posi-
tion of elector-at-large. General Bushnell
was also actually chosen one Of the dele
sates-at-large to Chicago, but rs there
were four others elected and only four
places to fill the general took the matter
out Of the hands of the convention and
withdrew his name.

The Ohio State Journal has this to say
of Mr.. WiIkinson's letter, printed In We'd
nesday's REPUBLIC:
Some one having stated that General
Gibson is the only living republican Of Ohio
who was at the convention in Pittsburg In
1856 when the republican party was orga-
nized," Mr.. j. Il. Wilkinson writes to the
Springfield REPUBLIC stating that he was
there, AMI went as an advisory delegate. /"
as all the delegates were designated from
Clark county. Mr.. Wilkinson may be
dead, but he evidently doesn't know 1t, and
as he states his intention of voting the re-
publican ticket next fall his case Is worth
investigating. 1t is probably illegal for a
corpse TO vote, but as Wilkinson seems TO
be an unusually lively corpse an exception
may be made in his favor.

The part tiken by General Asa s. Bush
nell IN the republican state convention, on
Thursday, was most honorable and credit
able to him and it increased the number of
his personal friends, very substantially.
The General received a majority of the
votes cast by the convention as a candid te
fIr delegate-at-large to the convention. and
was really elected, as,,were Messrs. Foster,
Mckinley and Butterwcrth, Governor Fors
ker having been previously elected by ao-
clamation. But five men were elected fol
four places, and another ballot was required
to settle the matter. General Bushnell
had received the lowest vote OF the fouI
balloted for, but in new ballot 1t was
reasonable to suppose that there might have
been changes and it was certain that he
had chance for election. But the General
decided to withdraw his name and he finally
moved to elect Messrs. Foster, McKin-
ley and Butterworth by acclamation.
There were shouts of mo" all over
the convention and the General
was pulled down from the chair on which
he was trying to stand, several times. by
his persistent friends, but he finally "held
the fort" and made a capital and meaty
little speech, in support of his proposition.
which went through with whrl. General
Bushnell never made finer appearance or
a better impression than when he stood in
his chair on this occasion and made his lit
tie speech. But for scheme to organize a
combination against him, which was not
generally understood by the delegates, but
was carried out, he would have been the
second delegate at-large chosen. and by a
very large majority. In ordinary circum-
stances, in square contest, the General
could have been elected over any one or
two Of the gentlemen who were
the successful candidates. but the
simple fact is that it was found
that he couldn't overcome the friends OF the
three combined. There was no hostility
shown to him, whatever. There was not a
delegate who was personally opposed to
him and there was an expression that was
universal to the effect that the General
must be the standard-bearer of the party in
Ohio next year. The General has reason
to be proud Of the way in which his name
was received by the convention and by the
m manifestations of personal friendship made
toward him.

E1traordinary honor was bestowed o

Extraordinary honor was bestowed on a
certain lady by the republicans Of Ohio in
convention assembled, at Dayton. On the
second day, when Mrs. Foraker made her
appearance in the hall, she was greeted
with an ovation which surprised her and
greatly pleased her many personal friends.
Mrs. Foraker is typical Ohio woman, she
is the daughter of the veteran anti-slaveIy
man and republican, ex-congressman 81. S.
Bundy, and she was born in a log house on
the site of the present thriving and boom
ing city Of Wellston, jackson county. She
was a student at Delaware, and she has set q
good example, which all Ohio women
should follow; she has given close attention
10 the moral and social phases of partisan
politics, and few men in the state are bet
ter Tor possibly as well informed) in these
lines as she. She is lady with large
heart, generous impulses, most courteous
and attractive manners exceedingly bright
and of qualities that may be prop
erly called statesmanlike. She was worthy
of the ovation she received at Dayton, and
II, in four years or eight years, she should
be recognized as the first lady Of the land"
she would carry her honors gracefully and
easily.
