colored, was found last Wednesday
floating under the bridge In the creek
at Odessa. A boat was lowered and
the body taken out. Colester is sup.
posed to have walked overheard on
Saturday night, while intoxicated, as
efforts to find him have since proved
unavailing. Colester was 90 years
old. He was farm hand, living two

USUAL PLEASING ORDER-THIRTEEN

THE COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES OF THE
USUAL PLEASING oRDER-THIRTEEN
GRADUATES.
On Wednesday of last week occurred
the Sixty-sixth annual Commencement
of Franklin College. The perfect day,
coupled with the interesting programme
to be dispensed, drew an immense crowd.
The numbers in attendance were estimat-
ed to be one-half greater than ever be
fore. a platform had been erected IN
the woods, and from this the graduating
exercises took place. There were three
graduates in the classical course and ten
in the scientific course The following
are the names of the graduates with their
subjects:
JIM. Thompson, Harrisville, Saluta-
tory.
Florence A. Burdette, New Athens,
knowledge and Obedience.
AWE A. Kinder, Scenery Hill, Pa, III
TINA Thule.
O.J. Gregg, Belmont, o., Partyism.
Margaret Mcfarland, New Athens,

continued.
W. NJ. Burgess, New Athens, Conflict
ing Elements.
Wm. Howell, New Athens, Valedictory.
Thompson, Gregg and Love, received
the degree of A. B., the others B. 5.
The addresses of the graduates were
along much the usual line, dealing with
weighty problems of the past, present,
and future. All exhibited careful pre-
paration. Space prevents individual
mention of all the addresses. The ad-
dress of Miss NJ. Olive Patton appeared
the most practical. Miss Patton review
ed the work of woman in history, and
dwelt on the mission of woman in the
present-to shine in the home. The ad-
dress was sensible, pointed, and peril
nent, and exhibited mind tending to
the practical and useful rather than the
theoretical. In addition to these were
seven graduates in the lesser courses.
The following honorary degrees were
conferred: IL D., Col. J. T. Holmes, Co
lumbus; D. D., Rev. J. K Black, Peori,
Ill, Rev. G. H. Mead, Hornellsville, n. Y,
and Rev David Thomson, Monmouth,
ILL.,; PhLD., Prof. John A. Gray, New
Concord, o.
The other exercises of Commencement
week, were of the usual order, and were
well patronized. The past year has been
very successful one in the history of
the institution, and the coming year
augurs still better things for this aged
institution.

CHANGES OF CLIMATE

Kill more people than is generally known:
particularly is this the case in instances
where the constitution is delicate, and
amang our immigrant population seek
ing new homes in those portions of the
West, and where malarial and typhoid
fevers prevail at certain seasons of the
year; the best preparative of change of
climate, or of diet and water which that
change necessitates, is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, which not only fortifies the
system against malaria, a variable tenn
perature, damp, and the debilitating eff
fects of tropical heat, but is also the lead
ing remedy for constipation, dyspepsia,
liver complaint, bodily troubles specially
apt to attack emigrants and visitors to
regions near the equator, mariners and
tourists; whether used as safeguard by
sea vOyagers, travellers by land. miners
or of agriculturists in newly populated
districts, this fine specific has elected the
most favorable testimony. 7-2-5t

road by the breaking of the cart in which

While Rev. w. F. johnson was driving
to church on Sabbath morning at rapid

jumped from the road, overturning the

action of some one driving up behind
prevented what might have proved a
fatal accident, as he cought the ponies by
the bride and prevented them from run
ming away. All escaped with but slight
injury, except little Ruth, who was badly
bruised on the face and eye. Their
friends are glad they escaped more seri-
GUS injury. Rev. johnson was driving
carefully, but the action OF the ponies
was so sudden that he had no chance to
control them.

THE leaders of the Farmers Alliance,
it is said, intend establishing central
bureau, from which news and opinions
most favorable to the Alliance will be
distributed in 'boiler plate" form to the
organs of the order. To that plan there
is no objection. If they wish their
news and opinions stereotyped nobody
will deny them the privilege. But
coupled with the former statement, it is
also asserted that the leaders viii seek
to prevent their members from taking
other than Alliance papers, fearing that
general and intelligent newspaper read
ing will lead to heresy. According to
this plan the leaders will do the thinking
and they will expect the members to
vote as told. But would any such rank
scheme work? Would intelligent men
submit to any such dictation? For
bold assumption the scheme is un-
equaled. 1t is not for moment proba-
BILE that the thumb-screws could be put
down in any such manner, but that the
Alliance leaders should contemplate
such method, reveals the straits they
are in. No independent and intelligent
body of men would suffer such dictation.
The great body of the members would
resent it on the instant, and the Alliance
would fall to pieces. No party can
thrive by prescribing course of one
sided reading. To read both pro and
con and judge the question on its
merits, is the course sensible men would
advocate.

GOVERNOR CAMPBELL is engaged at
present in dickering for the Knights OF
Labor vote. Because some K. of L.
printers in the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing at Washington have been
fired" the wiley Governor is trying to
persuade the K. of L. people that they
should vote against Major Mckinley,
although what Major Mckinley has to
do with the matter Jimmy doth not
publicly state. 1t is improbable that
any trouble at Washington will
influence the result in Ohio or that
the K. of L. would attempt to vent
spite on Major Mckinley when he is in
no way responsible for the trouble.
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1891-07-02
ANERICAN TIN.

"The Mckinley tariff" boldly says
the Gazette, ''has been in operation near
ly year, yet the only tin-plate manu-
factory in this country is at st. LOUIS,
where a man and three boys are en-
ployed." This is a sample tin-plate lie.
Lies and tin-plate liars are of two kinds
There is the mugwump liar, who lies
deliberately and with malice afore-
thought. Then there is the average
Democratic liar, who lies out of the ig-
norance of his soul. Under this latter
category the Gazette should probably be
classed. Its statement shows how ia
miliar and intimate it is with the pro-
visions of the Mckinley bill. 81 have
glanced over the more important parts
of the Bible" said sceptic who had
written much carping criticism. The
Gazette does not seem to have done even
this with the Mckinley bill. The tin-plate
tariff, it says, has been in operation
nearly year. In fact, the tin-plate
tariff went into operation yesterday.
The Gazette then thinks it a matter of
remark that only one tin-plate factory
has been established. If by July lst,
1897, no greater results have been &C
complished, there will be matter for re-
mark on the part of anti-McKinleyites.
In view of the fact that the GGzette'S
first statement is wrong, it would make
little difference if its second assertion
were true. In the last two months tin
plate plants have been erected in New
York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Chica-
go, st. Louis, and at other points. Welsh
tin-plate workers are sending delegates
to the United States to inquire into the
possibility of profitable employment in
this country. American agents are in
Wales buying machinery for the opera
tion of the plate industry, and ship
ping it home. 1t does not, as Demo
Gratis think, require any mysterious skill
to manufacture tin-plate. The plant is
simple and inexpensive, and the only
reason we have not before engaged in its
manufacture is our own slowness, and
the absence of friendly legislation. De-
spite the stupid jeers of free trade or
gans and of inch-long political econo-
mists,this country will make its own tin
plate, and save to American labor and
to American producers of steel, lead,
coal and lumber the comfortable sum of
$30,000,000 year; and twelve months
after the tin-plate tariff law has actual
ly gone into effect no Democrat will be
found bold enough to condemn it.

1t is thought by many that the Re-
publican County Convention has been
placed at too late a date. This is to be
an educational campaign and of con-
siderable length, and the county ticket
should be in the field by the time the
State campaign opens. A bare two
months will be allowed should the pres
ent date still hold, and certainly no point
will be gained by crowding so much
work into such short space of time.

On the question of the tariff and good
money the Republican party could moi
fail to win in Ohio if they made half a
campaign. Then with Campbell's un-
popularity in the present canvass the
result is all the more simplified. Still it
will not do for Republicans to grow
lethargic and cease to work. The De-
mocracy will resort to every sort of dis
reputable schemes to win a losing fight,
and Republicans must be continually on
the alert until victory is won.
