THE OLD MANS TRIP.

The old man had just arrived at hi
sons house from the country.
"Well, father" said the boy, Il hop,
you came through in the sleeping car
as told you to, and had a good night
sleep"
The old man smiled a sickly, sarcasti,
smile.
"Oh, yes" he said, 81 had a good sleep
frst-rate sleep; went to bed early"
"Did you wake up during the night?'
"Only twicet; only went to sleeE
twicet."
"Say father!' SAID the young man

"Well, father, a man can ride pretty
comfortable nowadays after he gets used
to it, said Henry, as he started to lead
the old gentleman to the bath room for
a wash.
"Oyes, Dyes, man can ride all right
now," replied the old man, and the smile
lasted until he started to wash his face
from the faucets over the bath tub.

THE leaders of the Democracy assert
that they will run this campaign on
fact. They had better invest in fancy,
for the facts are largely against them.
Rebellion, murder for political opinions,
fraud, ballot-box stufing incompetency
and general cussedness are stubborn
historical facts they should avoid, and
call on the mountains to hide.

OHIO is PROUD
OF the Benevolent Institutions of the
State

OF the Benevolent Institutions of the
State.
To every right-minled citizen of Ohio
it IS one of the main causes of satisfac-
ton with the Republican conduct of
affairs, that the benevolent institutions
of the state have been so efficiently ad-
ministered. Governor Foraker touched
upon this subject in his Xenia speech
The showing he made, says The Cincin-
natl Times-Star, is proof of unparall eled
success in wise and economical manage
ment. Such record should be looked
upon with pride by the public, irrespec-
tive of partisan sympathies, and it
should rebound to the credit and advan-
tage of the Republican party In list
of twenty y-ive states, whose statistics as
to the management of benevolent insti-
tutions were compared with the statis-
tics of similar institutions of Ohio, not
one was found 10 be up to the Ohio
standard either in point of economy or
of good results accomplished Reports
from other states were not obtainable;
but, taking the country as a whole,
enough is definitely known about these
institutions to warrant the assertion
that this state has a position in the
forefront. 'And this is not all, - said
the governor. I'VE have gone further,
and in these particulars Ohio not only
outranks all her sister states in the
Union, but she outranks every other
country in the civilized world Re
cent history contains no brighter chap
ter than that of which the above is the
essence. Could better testimony to the
merits of an administration be offered
than this-that the public charities are
examples of the highest usefulness at
tanned at the lowest cost?

In the case of Lizzie Buxton ct al.
VS., Hattie l.. Trover ct oil. the su-
preme court of the United States has
decided that the heirs of man who
settles on unsurveyed land with the
intention of pre-empting it, and who
dies before survey, cannot take
the land under the pre-emption law.
Settlement upon the public lands
in advance of public surveys, the
court says. is allowed to parties who
intend, when the surveys are made, TO
apply for their purchase. If within
certain time after the surveys and
return of the plats to the local land
Office, the settler takes certain steps
required by law, he acquires for the
first time the right of pre- -emption to
the land-that is, the right to pur.
chase it in preference to others, but
he has no estate in the land which he
could devise by will, or which would
in case Of death pass to his heirs
law. As has been heretofore held by
the court, occupation and impove-
ment OF public lands with q view to
pre-emption does not confer vested
right in the lands so occupied. The
United States enters Into an obliga-
tion that the lands occupied shall
never be put mp for sale, but simply
declares that in case they are offered
for sale the occupants shall have the
privilege Of purchasing them before
all Others. The judgment of the
lower court against plaintiffs rights
is affirmed.

able progress of the great work GO

the good effect of which is already
noticeable in increased depth OF water

The work has not been allowed to

men has lately gone to work and it is
now lively scene of operations. The
big wharf is now double the size OF
the old one, two big hosting engines
and derricks are in use and two
barges of stone can be unloaded al
one time. There are now ten bargea
in use, and a new tug is building to
take the place Of the Gen. Wright,
to work in conjunction with the
steamer Cascades.
The brush for the fascines is now
being delivered in increased quanti-
ties, piles and lumber sufficient for an
additional mile seaward are being de-
livered, the iron for an equal amount
of railroad extension is on the way
and the expectation is to shortly be
able to deliver from GOO to 800 tons
of rock per day.

A Splendid Chance to Secure Seaside Lots

There is probably more activity in
real estate in Ocean Park property,
at the ocean terminus of the Ilwaco
and Shoalwater Bay railroad, than
elsewhere just now. Lots in Rail
road addition to the Park are selling
rapidly, under the low prices put up
on them. The reason of their rapid
sale is owing to their fine location,
both as a summer resort and from a
commercial point of view. The ter
minus of the road will be at Sealand,
on Shoalwater bay, just half mile
east of the addition. They have 45
feet of water there at low tide, and
there are plans being formed for the
building of O new saw mill and $685.
600 hotel, during the coming summer,
beside the building of a great number
of business houses to say nothing of
the improvements contemplated by
the railroad. The owner of Sealand
is opening streets and clearing land
at the present time. If you want to
make a lucky investment, secure a
lot IN Railroad addition without de-
lay of Robb & Parker.

How Men Die.

If we know all the methods of ap-
proach adopted by an enemy we are
the better enabled to ward off the
danger and pospone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In
many instances the inherent strength
of the body suffices to enable it to op-
pose the tendency toward death.
Many however have lost these forces
to such an extent that there is little
or no help. In other cases little
aid to the weakened Lungs will make
all the difference between sudden
death and many years of useful life.
Upon the first symptoms of Cough,
Cold or any trouble of the Throat or
Lungs, give that old and wellknowr
remedy-Boschee's German Syrup, a
carful trial. It will prove what
thousands say of it to be, the "bene-
actor of any home"
