1t would indeed have been useless,
as on the following evening, protected
by the falling shadows, Gontran with
little luggage mysteriously took a cab
directing il, not to the station, but
toward the distant quarter of eros
Gallon
There he rented room for ten dol
lars month in Cometa street, street
in which one need have no fear of
meeting the Partisan fashionables.
All summer long he remained there
He hired an old servant to attend to
his wants, and also bought the neces-

WHY Cattle will Be Scarce.

"Cattle will be scarce and beef high
for two years to come" is the opinion
of one of the best posted men in the
live stock trade in Ohio. "The result
is due to natural causes and effects
every portion of the United States.
For five or six years prices for cattle
on the hoof have ranged so low that
they have not been profitable for farm
ers who raise from ten to fifty head,
and there are thousands of such farm
ers. AS result the whole country has
been denuded of these small lots and
has just found it out. A cattle crop
suitable for beef cannot be produced
under two and half or three years,
and naturally the supply being short
prices will advance. The high price of
hogs will induce farmers to rush into
hog raising, and inside of eight months
prices will tumble, even if the corn
crop proves a bad one."

THE TREATY RESTS
Hawaiian Affairs Are Now at a
Standstill.
The Incoming Administration
Looked To.

Even the Treaty and the Presidents Mes
sage May he Withdrawn From the Pres
ent Congress-Almost Impossible for IL
to he Ratified by the Present Session.
Commissioner Thurston's Opinion.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 2s.-The annexa-
ton Of Hawaii has been abandoned for
the present. Commissioner Thurston,
who is at the head of the Hawaiian
delegation, is the authority for the
statement. He says that it has become
evident that the treaty could not be
ratified during the session of the pres
ent congress.
There are oppositions of party char
acter against Mr.. Harrison's executing
such large contract ON the eve of his
retirement. For this reason it has been
deemed advisable to let the subject &c
over to Mr.. Cleveland's administration
and to some future congress. Mr..
Thurston believes that a powerful
branch of the opposition will be re-
moved by leaving annexation for Mr..
Cleveland and his officers to manage.
Under this new arrangement it Is
probable that the treaty and the mes
sage of Mr.. Harrison will be withdrawn
from the senate. The recommends
tions of the president would cease to be
effective on March 4. Even the treaty
itself will probably be re-executed by
Secretary-to-be Gresham. 1t is be-
heved that Judge Gresham favors a
protectorate rather than absolute an
nexation.

A Farmers Severe Loss.

Adam Wegerly, a wealthy farmer,
residing in Washington township,
Pickawa county, has had seven horses
die in the past week from unknown
causes. Thursday of last week, when
the hands went out in the morning for
work they found two of them dead,
and the next morning they found five
down, and all died in a few minutes
after being discovered. 1t is the gener-
al supposition that some one has a
grudge at the old gentleman, and is
poisoning his horses to satisfy it. The
horses were valued at from $3.50 to $3.50
each.

The spring elections will be held

was the very synonym for enterprise.
The NeaoS is only yearling, to be

given Defiance a daily of which the

MILLIONAIRE MAcKAY SHOT.
His AssaIlant MortaIIy Wounds Himself
Both Yet Alive.

His Assallant MortaIly Wounds Himself
Both Yet Alive.
SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 27.-The life
of John w. Mackay was attempted
Friday by w. c. Rippey, an old man
70 years old, who was undoubtedly in.
sane, and who, after attempting Mr..
Mackay's assassination, turned the
weapon upon himself and inflicted a
mortal wound. Mr.. Mackay's wounds,
while serious. are not thought to be
fatal. Rippey is still alive, but can not
recover.
w. c. Rippey, the man who did the
shooting, is an old forty-niner, and is
well known on the Pacific slope. He
has made and lost a dozen fortunes,
The last few months he has evidently
been playing in hard luck in this city
He came to the slope originally from
Cincinnati, where he has wife and
family residing at the present time. Not
long ago he was supposed to be worth
500, 600, made principally in the Com
stock lode.
He had 20 cents in his pocket and a
card addressed to d. /. R. Linton. On
the back of this card was written, END
not yet"
Upon a sheet of paper, under the
heading Food for Reflection" were
the words: paid S150,000 for one
sapphire to place on the forehead of his
wife-a sufficient amount to have saved
at least 800 of his victims from suicidal
graves. Just think of it. Inscribe it
upon his tomb"
Rippey is undoubtedly crank who
imagined that Mackay was the cause of
his financial losses.

Pertaining to the Spring Election.

pertaining 70 hhc oprink AtCSS'o"'
The county board Of elections held
its first meeting to make necessary
provisions for the spring election on
Monday last.
The county board has supervision
over all township, municipal and
union school district elections. and all
nominations must be certified up 10
the board within the specified time,
The board requests thai this be done
at the earliest possible time, not lateT
than the 10Th inst. 1t therefore be-
hooves the proper committeeman In
the several townships and corporations
to Immediately call their caucuses SO
that the nominations can be certified
up to the board. If nominations are
not certified up, then they are illegal
and have no effect at the election, as
they will not appear upon the official
ballot, which ballots are furnished by
the county board.
In municipal school districts nomi-
nations for school directors will be
made the same as for any other office
to be filed, and the law provides that
school boards appoint place where
such election for directors will be
held. The place should be at the
municipal polls, when the same judges
and clerks can act, but separate ballot
box must be used.

HERE is problem that our exchang-
es are propoundlng to their readers
A freight train one mile in length
stopped with the caboose just opposite
the depot. The conductor got orders
to move his train to the next station,
which was just five miles distance.
He gave the engineer orders to move,
which the latter did while the condue-
walked over ahead on top of the cars
and got there just as the engine arrived
at the next station where he got off.
The question is how far did he walk or,
as he was walking the entire five miles,
did he ride at all?

Startling Discovery.

Representative Sterrett, Of Miami
county, has been investigating the sub
ject of insanity and has compared the
statistics of Ohio with those in other
States, with the intention of possibly
preparing for introducing bill. 1t
has always been considered strange
fact that the rate of the increase of In
sanity in Ohio has been greater than
in other States, but the doctor thinks
he has discovered the cause. In other
States the kind of insane persons, II
they are able, are required to contrib
ute to the support of the insane In
asylums. In Ohio this is not the case.
There is a law in Ohio providing that
the asylum officers shall draw upon
the auditors of the respective counties
for clothing for the patients and the
auditors are expected, and it is the in
tention of the law that they shall draw
upon the relatives of the patients for
the price or its equivalent. The stew
ards of the asylums do not fail to make
these drafts and the auditors as rule
pay them. But the auditors just pay
the costs and never carry out the in
tent of the law by calling upon the
friends of the insane persons to help
meet the bill. In other States these
laws are enforced and people are not
so anxious to send to the asylums their
unfortunate kindred who are a little
light in the upper story. 1t is stated
on very good authority that people of
families tainted with hereditary insani-
ty remove from other States to Ohio
in order to take advantage of the
lenient laws of this State in the matter
OF gaining admittance into the asy-
lums. DIR. Sterrett proposes TO intro
duce bill in the legislature to secure
more rigid enforcement of the exist
ing laws on this subject and to make
admission to the insane asylums some
what more difficult than it is.
