felt shown by the treasury books,
and but little over two years ago
Grover Cleveland left $194, 100000

Changes of Climate

Kill more people than is generally
known. Particularly is this the
case in instances where the constitu-
tion is delicate, and among our i'm
migrant population seeking new
homes in those portions of the West,
and where malarial and typhoid
fevers prevail at certain seasons of
the year. The best preparative for
a change of climate, or of diet and
water which that change necessitates
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
not only fortifies the system against
malaria, a variable temperature,
damp, and the facilitating effects Of
tropical heat, but is also the leading
remedy for constipation, dyspepsia,
liver complaint, bodily troubles
specially apt to attack emigrants
and visitors to regions near the
equator, and tourists. Whether used
as safeguard by sea voyagers,
travellers by land, miners. or of agri-
culturlsts in newly populated dis
tricts, this fine specific has ELECTED
the most favorable testimony.

LAST SAD RIGHTS.
Impressive Ceremonies Over the Re.
mains Of Indiana's Greatest
Statesman.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, June 24.-The
funeral of the late Jos. E. Mcdonald
occurred this afternoon from the FAM
lily residence. From noon until p.
m. a perfect stream of citizens poured
through the house to get one last
passing glimpse of all that was earth
ly of Indiana's greatest statesman.
The funeral is the largest seen here
since the burial of Vice President
Hendricks. The floral tributes were
profuse and beautiful, and came from
every political organization in the
city irrespective of party lines. Per-
feet order prevailed, however, and
the occasion was quiet and most i'm
pressiye. The funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Jos. E. Milburn,
pastor of the Second Presbyterian
church. and Rev. DIR. NJ. L. Haines,
Of the First Presbyterian church.
Very brief but eloquent eulogies
were delivered by both divines al the
house, aud at the burial ceremonies
st the grave were ipprseslvely beau.

An Interesting Document.

Among the curiosities in posses
sion of the West Virginia Histori-
cal and Antiquarian Society is an
ancient document purporting to be
the death warrant of Jesus Christ.
1t was engraved on plate of brass,
and found by the French Commits
sioners of Art while excavating in
the ancient city of Acquilla, in the
Kingdom of Naples. 1t was written
in Hebrew and translated by the
French Commissioners of Art of the
French armies. On the reverse side
of the copper plate from that on
which the death sentence is written,
are the words: "Similar plate is
sent each tribe" AS the Romans
were careful to record the official
acts of the Emperor and the govern
ors of the provinces, it is not improb-
able that this death sentence is gen.
uine.

A Suicides Remarkable History.

A sensational suicide occurred at
Trinity Church, near Clarksburg a
short time ago which verifies the old
adage that 1.-THE wages of sin is
death" Forty years ago Jesse Dever
was young man, the aristocratic
son Of wealthy father whose fortune
was largely in slaves. One day Jesse
entered the kitchen and ordered a
colored man employed therein to do
something, and the something" not
being done to suit the highstrung
young man, he struck the slave.
Stung by the injustice of the blow
the colored man turned, as the worm
will turn, and selling his young mas
ter held him as in vice until his
temper had subsidized. Some time af-
ter that Jesse had occasion to again
visit the kitchen, and seeing the old
slave doing there his resentment re-
turned, and grabbing up a large
butcher knife from the table he
plunged it to the hilt in the old mans
heart, killing him instantly. He then
fled, making his way to Cincinnati,
and then to Quincy, ILL.,, where he re-
manned for eighteen years. Time hav-
ing served somewhat to obliterate
the murder from the memory OF many
at the end of this period, tired of his
long exile, Jesse ventured back and
has lived at the old home ever since.
Now comes the strange part of the
story; from the day of the tragedy
forty years ago, the slave has haun-
ted his heartless master until Jesse's
life has been a burden and suicide
the sequel. Do what he might the
reproachful eyes of his cotored vic
tim have been before him night and
day. Twice before be had attempted
suicide, first by shooting and then
by drowning. He also beat his head
with stone one day in frenzy OF
remorse. Years ago he began prep
arations for his burial, having cut
himself vault in large rock and
placed before it marble slab which
bears on it's surface his name and all
the inscription he desired except the
date of death, which was left blank.
That space can now be filed up, for
last Monday the man made third
and more successful attempt at sui
eide, and succeeded in drowning his
troubles and himself in barrel OF
water So ends story which sounds
like romance but is terribly real, and
illustrates the maxim that 'fact is
stranger than fiction

man.

COLUMBUS, O., June 24.-The
State Central Committee of the Dem
ocrats met here this afternoon and
issued call for the State Conven-
ton to be held at Cleveland July IA
and Is, but two ballots were necessa-
ny TO fix the place, and the date was
readily agreed to. The Campbell
men, as anticipated, had complete
control of the convention and by a
vote of 20 to 2 Zone member was alb
sent J, adopted the following resolu-
tions regarding the irregular Hamil-
ton county primary election:
Resolved, That the delegates to
the State Convention be apportioned
among the counties upon the vote
cast for Thaddeus A. Cromley, for
Secretary of State, at the last gener-
al election, the basis of representa-
tion to be one delegate for every five
hundred votes and over cast for
Thaddeus A. Cromley for Secretary
of State in 1890. Counties which
have already selected delegates on
that apportionment need not take
any further proceeding looking to
the selection of delegates.
Resolued-That in the call for the
State Convention it shall be express
ly stated that each county will be
required, in such manner as the
county committee may properly di-
rect, to select within the country,
and not elsewhere, the number of
delegates to which each country may
be entitled, and no mass delegations
will be recognized.
This will force the Hamilton
county Democrats to selects another
delegation to represent them in the
State convention, as they proposed.
The two members of the committee
from Hamilton county fought the
resolution vigorously, and after the
meeting adjourned declared that
Hamilton county would insist on
the delegation already selected
being seated in spite of the resolu-
ton. Allen w. Thurman was Sc
lected temporary chairman of the
convention.
Temporary officers of the conven-
tion we're selected as follows: Chair
man Allen w. Thurman; Secretary,
Thomas j. Cogan, Cincinnati, AS
sistants, George c. Beis, Sandusky !;
E. J. Duer, Millersburg; Sergeant
at rma patar Widdnar Daufo,,
Governor Campbell met with little
opposition in the committee outside
of Hamilton county.

ginia and all the other Southern
States. Every one knows very well
that he or any other honest democrat
ic candidate can do so. The people
in all parts Of the Union remember
him for man who discharged his
official duties honestly and efficient
ly, and who restored the country to
a condition of peace and confidence
it had not known for thirty years.
That same feeling of confidence in
him exists to day, and but for the
apathy and opposition of those who
failed to appreciate his value to the
country because of his failure to APP
preciate their opportunities for
spoils, he would be President to-day,
and the road would have been clear
for democratic success in the future.
To-day the chances Of the success of
that party have been lessened by the
complications Of the political mar
plots who caused his defeat in 1883,
and who would now, as then, prefer
political adversary to an honest
democrat in the presidential chair.
1t is to be regretted that any of
our Southern contemporaries should
have allowed themselves to be mis-
led into any movement especially d.
rected against Mr.. Cleveland. The
movement does not originate with
them. 1t is neither to the political
nor the industrial interest of the
South to lend itself to the schemes
Of partisan wirepullers in an attempt
to discredit any leading man in the
democratic party, and least Of all
Grover Cleveland. Surely the South

1.-TWO squeezes" with a young lady
on the result. We say this was a
remarkable bet, because the young
lady gave such extraordinary odds.
A squeeze" in Letart township
means a great deal, for it generally
lasts from the time the old folks go
to bed until a scandalously early
hour the next morning. 1t is to be
feared that the Letart maidens are
not holding their squeezes high
