TOO LAZY no LIVE.

The San Luis Obispo County Tri-
bune gives the following account of
a suicide recently discovered in that
region:
"The body of man was found
hanging to tree near the painted
rocks in the eastern portion of the
county on last Thursday evening by
some fishermen from Paso Robes.
Mr.. Swanson, enc of the party who
made the discovery, states that the
body was nothing but a mass of
bones held together by the skin,
which had become thoroughly cured
by the action of the elements. To
the tree near by was attached the
following notice
Il die because | am too burned
lazy to live, and if those who find
my carcass feel as do they will let
me hang here until my bones fall
to the ground of their own accord"
The bones were properly Inferred
near where the body was found.
After a dilligent search around the
vicinity where the body was found
nothing was discovered except a
small empty flask and plug of to-
bacco, even the clothing having rot
ted away. The man probably COM
mitted suicide, and before making
the final tplunge had destroyed all
evidence as to his identity"

A SINGULAR COINCIDENCE.

The owner of place on Second
avenue stood in his barn door on
the alley the other day when man
with a wooden leg and a crutch
came along and passed the time o.
day and finally said:
Say, | want you to do me favor.
| want to leave my leg with you for
a few minutes.
"Why?"
Il want to go around on Second
avenue and work house for half a
dollar in money. Eve got pointer
that the folks are very sympathetic.
III go with one leg I'm sure Of il"
VERY we'll; just leave your leg
here and I'll take of it." 4
The wooden substitute was UNI
strapped and handed over, and the
cripple used the crutch to help him
self down the alley. Five minutes
later he rang the doorbell of house
around the avenue, to have it open
ed by the man he had seen at the
barn.
"-W-wha-what!!" he gasped
in establishment.
Very sympathetic family lives
here" quietly replied the other.
'You seem to have met with a sad
loss and I'm anxious to help you.
Here is a wooden leg which may fit
you
The leg was handed over, the man
sat down on the steps and strapped
it on, and as he got up and stumped
through the gate, he said to himself:
I've heard of condolences ever
since was knee-high to hop toad,
but this is the first one that ever
hit me with both feet at once" >

A CURE FOR LEPROSY.
From the New York Sun.

\ cure for leprosy has been found,
says Mr.. Clifford, the last European
to visit Father Damien. 1t is gor-
Jun oil, the produce of fir tree
which grows plentifully in the
Andaman islands. 1t was discover
ed by DR.. Dougall, and Mr.. Clifford
was assured by Sir Donald Stew
art, who was then governor of the
islands, and who has sent me the
official medical report that every
single case in the place was cured
by it. The lepers were convicts
and it was therefore possible to en-
force four hours a day OF rubbing
the ointment all over their bodies
and the taking of two small doses
internally. In some of the cases
the diseases was of many years
standing and the state to which il
had reduced its victims was indie,
scribably dreadful, yet after eight
months the sufferers were able to
run and to use a pickax and every
symptom of leprosy had disappear
ed. " Father Damien tried it, but
too late.

to have positive information on the snbJect'
the agreement reached at the recent conner,
ence between Emperor William ana Loru

Why Republicans Are Interested.

Tho Republican press of the State,
as we'll as the leaders of the party,
are taking very deep interest in
the Democratic nomination for
Governor, and also the platform on
which the campaign is to be run.
There is . good deal of significance
in this Republican interest and
anxiety.
1t is a tacit acknowledgment that
the coming man for Governor will
be the nominee of the Dayton Con
vention. and that the State IS about
to pass into the administrative con
troll of the Democratic purity.
In taking this view of it tine Re
publican editors and leaders are but
reading the stars and the signs
Alright Republican defeat is the
logic of the situation, and because
of q number of cogent reasons:
1. Because the party is irretriev-
ably committed 10, perpetual war
taxes and the pestilential brood oi
trusts they hatch.
2. Because, while pretending to
favor home rule fer Ireland it de
nies home rule to Cincinnati and all
the leading cities of Ohio.
8. Because. in the name Of econ-
omy, the State Administration has
been saendthrlft, and dishonesty
concealed .llis fact by system OF
advance drafts on the county trea-
surics. which has created q deficien
cy equal to almost, if not quite, 5O
per cent. of The total annual rcvcn=
ues of the State.
4. Because, in utter violation OF
the constitution. the Legislature and
State Government impaired the
Sinking Fund to meet current ex-
penditures.
Here are four overwb Ginning rea-
. ms why the Democratic State
ticket and Democratic Legislature
should be elected. Their force
seems to be recognized by the lie
publican leaders and they are pre-
pa,lng for the inevitable.
Many more reasons might be Civ
en-. BIZ, these will suffice IDr the
present. Tie rest will come in their
order as the procession moves.
