Smiths Philosophy.

Books are better companions than pedan-
tic men, because yon can shut book up,
when you get tired.
A man who dislikes the companionship
of the wicked should keep himself pure,
for he cannot shake his own society.
What a contemplate disposition it is
that causes man to regard another as his
superior simple because he does not have
to struggle so hard for a living.
The best men are those who are educat-
ed in the school of affliction. The fellow
who has suffered is not only good sympa-
thiser, but he knows how to appreciate
smooth Shedding when he gets it and is
therefore most likely to be good natured.
The man who starts out with the idea
that he can convince good party man
that he is on the wrong side will unusally
retire with the conviction that party pre-
judice, which is constantly mistaken for
party principle, is as firm set as balky
mule-Bradiord Era.

Republican.
Ohio /

The only state election held in this coun-
try last Tuesday which turned distinctly
on National issues, and which therefore
has National significance was that in
Ohio, and Mckinley, the Republican can
didate for Governor, was elected by
20, 900 majority, and the Legislature is also
Republican.
Tt was hard fought campaign, and its
result places Mckinley in the front rank
of Republican leadership.
Governor Campbell congratulated Major
Mckinley, as follows:
William Mckinley, Jr.:
I heartily congratulate you upon your
election. I have no doubt that you will
serve the people OF Ohio with fidelity and
honesty.
JAMES Z. CAMPBELL.
Major McKinley's answer to Governor
Campbells telegram was as follows:
Permit me to thank you, most heartily,
for your cordial congratulations. I rejoice
that the heated contest through which we
have passed has been free from bitterness
and personalities, and leaves with rs feel
ings of mutual regard.

ceed 200.

cratic by about 400, but the returns from

$4,000 Killed In Japan.

The terrible earthquake in Japan swal-
lowed up 25, 900 people. Dispatches from
Hiogo put the number of dead at that, and
when communication with the interior OF
the country is re-established this appalling
figure of death may be increased.
The shock that occurred on Wednesday
destroyed tho towns Of Nsgoys, Gifu and
Ogski. All the public buildings and most
Of the smaller structures in these places
were thrown down. A fire which started
among the wrecked building in Nsgoys
completed the work Of destruction in the
most crowded quarter to the place.
THREE TOWNS WIPED OUT.
The towns of Okahu, Kano and Kasa-
mutsu have bean literally wiped out, but
very few Of the unfortunate inhabitants
escaping. At Gifh 5000 houses were de-
stroyed and 5000 persons were killed.
This fearful visitation was repeated
yesterday at Osago, where 18, 900 houses
we're wrecked and 1000 persons perished.
The earthquake wrenched and twisted
fifty miles Of railroad In that district 30
that it cannot be used. A number Of
European residents were engulfed, but
Cooks tourist parties now in the country
are safe.
The earthquake shock passed from east
TO west. The waters were cast up see-
thing, as If drawn from caldron, and burst
ing upon the lowlands, flooded whole dis
tricts.
The fearful agitation Of the water in
creased the horror by flooding the ruins
and drowning hundreds Of victims. The
estimate made Of the number of killed is
placed at IL, 900.
