THE lunatic who fired nitro-glycer-
Inc at Russell Sage has not yet been
satisfactorily identified. Many iden-
tiflcations have been attempted, but
turned out failures. Mr.. Sage is slow
ly recovering from the great shock
and in q short time will be able to give
a full and accurate description OF the
affair. Among other things Mr.. Sage
recalls that his visitor was very ner-
vous and trembled with excitement,
and the bag containing the bomb APP
parently slipped from his grasp and
dropped sooner than was intended
The man jumped backward, as if to
escape the assault, but was too late.
Mr.. Sage thinks that the man did
not intend to kill himself. 1t was
evident that he meant to throw the
satchel, jump out Of the way and es-
cape the result himself Through los
ing his head the crank's plans miscar-
ried. Colonel Slocum is inclined to
believe the story that the dynamiter
was Broker Norcross.
Mr.. Sage is improving, and it is be-
lieved that he will return to business
early next week. The other persons
injured. the bomb are doing well.

HARRISON TP. Dec. 14.-Very pleas

can compete, for bad roads, with any
place, and what we have to say is this:
A great many Of our chances for future
easy times are rather slim, and why
not do something to make this world
a pleasant place. Stone, gravel, any.
thing but mud and behind the times
Without a shadow Of debt on the

and for an inspiring influence on how
to vote on the proposition make u trip
to the county seat with q team and
wagon, when earth seems to turn on
the wheels and not the wheels on
earth, In regular style. Vote on il and
for 1t in the spring and have at least
one good road to town next winter
from Harrison.
Among the pleasant happenings of
recent date | will mention the mar
riage of Miss Hattie Fiser, of Harrison
twp, and M. l.. Blue, of Bartlow.
Miss Fiser has occupied an enviable
position among HarrisOn's "wOrthies"
and will certainly be miss ed. We
understand the newly welded couple
will assume household duties for the
grOOm's father until spring, when they
will "go it on their own hook" Sue

from its superior quality, but its diff

admirably TO all kinds of ornamental

THE Ohio negroes have organized a
league, whose avowed object is to Sc
cure the share of offices that their
numerical strength in the Republican
party entities them to. They can or.
ganize just as many leagues, with like
purposes, as they please; but they will
not get much recognition till they
learn to have some independence in
politics. This country will never re-
gard with favor any race of men that
associate solely for the purpose of pub
lie plunder. There is, undisputably
an intense color prejudice, but it il
not insurmountable even by negro
and the cultivation of conspicuous
honesty and fitness for place will win
him recognition sooner than will his

Per Capita-A Fable.

Once upon time two nOnOpolists
were discussing the duIlness Of trade,
when poGitiau who knew them came
along. Said he: "There are two farm
ers hard by who have just sold their
produce, and | can get them into a
little game called protection ifyou will
join" So the monopOIists sent the
politician 35. and they went at it.
When they started. the politician,
who had turn for figures, said: Let
us see the amount of money per capi-
ia in the crowd" II was, politician,
s.; two monopolists, 500; two farmers,
500; per capita, Sal.
After while the farmers went out
and borrowed SO each on their
watches, and the game went on.
When they rose from the table the
distribution of the money was thus:
Politician, S25; two monopolists, 5000;
two farmers, 500; per capita, SIS
"Thus," said the politician, "the
money per capita in this crowd has
been raised $4 by our little game OF
protection, and the country is more
prosperous than ever
But a British capitalist sold the
farmers time pieces to recover amount
lent on deposit, and the farmers were
sad.
Moral: The wealth of a nation pei
capita is a great thing if we all get our
share.-N. Y, World.

the speaker came from the east, west,

FOR The LADIES.
The New York Fashions.
Faced Cloths, Independent Waists,
Accessories, Evening Dresses.

Despite the allurements OF brAidlng,
embroidery, bead-wOrk, plaids or
stripes, plaiu cloth remains in favor,
and from financial standpoint, such
selection Is judicious, as after the
first season il may be combined with
another fabric, or practically rendered
new costume by means Of any sty-
lish fiat trimming. Faced cloths" !"
in bright, dark and medium tints
make up handsomely; waists being
either the long coat bodice, or basque
back and jacket fronts, with br caded
or plain silk vest, as the purse OF the
wearer may admit. No color is too
light, or material too rich for the
plastron or underwaist 10 this special
style of dress; where brOcade however
Is used, vests are quite plain, on the
contrary light weight silk may be
shirred and friled to such an extent as
10 conceal. all ungraceful outlines.
Double bias folds, about all inch wide,
headed by gimp or galloOn are often
seen on cloth dresses, and are either
of silk or cloth, but always matching
the dress in color. Independent
waists are too convenient to be relin-
quished and much liberty is allowed
in regard to length below the waist;
some being quite long, and others OF
medium length. A self-col0red ma
terial may be used throughout, or two
contrasting ones, as, for example, pale
gray and rose-pink crepon are COM
bined with very pretty effect.
