The "ohio Hunter"

A quaint figure was seen on our
streets yesterday Standing fully six
feet in height, almost erect, and with a
light springy step the owner of the
figure passed swiftly along, carrying
an oil cloth sack swung over one
shoulder. 1t was Samuel e. Edwards.

Northwest as the "Ohio Hunter" He
Is SO years old and does not look more
than 70. Mr.. Edwards came to Find
lay over go years ago, locating east of
the city short distance. There were
but twelve houses In Findlay at that
time. He now resides near Napoleon.
For over fifty years he has done moth
ing but hunt, spending the greater
portion of his time In the big woods OF
Northwestern Ohio, and when the
forest fell before the ak of civilization
he transferred his labors to the then
wilds of Northern Michigan and the
great Northwest. During his life Mr..
Edwards killed 127 bear, lab deer, and
wolves, wild cats, panthers and cata-
mounts to the number of about 100.

a rhoroughly pemoeratic Measure.


The thanks of the Democratic party
are due for the pains they (the commit
tee) have taken in preparing tariff re-
form bill to submitted to the ways and
means committee of the coming congress.
The bill is thoroughly Democratic
measure. While we cannot say that It'll
faultless, and while no such claim is
made for it by its authors, we believe
that if it were passed as it stands with
out the changeof an item it would make
the best revenue producing tariff law the
country ever had. By this we mean that
it would give the largest revenue to the
treasury while imposing the least bur-
dens on the people. 1t would create a
temporary deficit in revenue, but this
would soon be made up by the increased
importation Of foreign wealth into the
United States
It is possible that the ways and means
committee of the house Of representatives
may do better. We sincerely hope il
will. But if it does no worse it viii fully
redeem every tariff reform pledge that
has been made by the Democratic party.

MANS Taste For Neck,raar.

The latest scarfs and ties show rather a
florid fancy, but these will never be beadopted
by the well dressed. 1.-THE man with the
tartan tie" will be regarded as monster of
bad taste, even though certain hosiers' win
dows may display such articles labeled as
novelties" Red ties appearto be winning
their way. Many men have quite pecu-
liar, warm affection for red tie, except
when it is worn by other than themselves
This makes an extraordinary difference in
their appreciation Of it. Reposing on their
own shirt fronts, it is admired and ap-
proved, but a critical spirit is brought to
bear upon 1t when it contrasts with the
glaze on the linen bosom Of another. Lon

TRUSTWORTHY STATEMENTS.
A recent New York dispatch reads:

"James C. H, fine looking and
apparently healthy man, was observed to
stagger while walking on Fifth Avenue this
afternoon, and after taking one or two un'
certain steps fell to the sidewalk. When
picked up he was dead. A physician ex-
amined the body ,and pronounced heart disease
the cause of death. A peculiarly sad feature
of the case is that Mr.. Il was on his
way to Maine, to settle in the home Of his
boyhood. He had passed the previous ten
years in the western mining country, and had
amassed fortune. IfYOU have any of the
symptoms given in the followingtestimonials
you should lose no time in seeking relief.

The New Commissioner Of Pensions

Judge Lockren's reputation as jurlst
ia of the first order and his military
record is particularly brilliant. He is
fifty seven years of age and was born
in Vermont, where he was educated In
the public school and admitted to the
bar. He went to Minnesota In 1857
and practiced his profession, but when
the war broke out he was one of the
frat men in the State to abandon his
civil pursuits and enlist in the First
Minnesota regiment. His service dur
ing the war was severe, eliminating at
Gettysburg, where his regiment made
the famous charge that checked Pick
ett's onslaught. OF the 300 men who
made that charge only 40 came out
whole, and young Lockren, who started
on the rush as first lieutenant of COM
pany e, came out In command OF the
regiment, every officer above his grade
having been killed or wounded. When
the war waa over William Lockren re-
turned to Minnesota and resumed the
practice OF law. He was very popular
and was twice the Democratic caucus
nominee for seat In the United States
Senate. In 1882 he was appointed by q
Republican governor to judgeship on
the circuit bench and at the expiration
fhis appointment was twice reelected
to the same place without opposition.
He has never sought office and his
popularity is best attested by the fact
that, although he is Democrat, his
candidacy for the place for which he is
nominated was indorsed by the unani-
nous vote of the Republican legisla-
ture of Minnesota.
