a Slick Scheme.

The following is copy of letter
received by to-day's mail:
"MR. w. w. BooHER, Dear SIR
We promise nothing! We engage to
perform nothing! But send us soc.
In stamps with the names of few
people Ill your town. Perhaps we
have little surprise in store for you.
Who knows?
Address:
THF COLUMBIAN MFG. Co.,
n. 18th ST.,

The original Is III lady's hand
writing and it may be from corset
mandatory for all we know. AS we
do not wear corsets aud do not care
to be pleasantly surprised at long
range, we shall not send the STAMPS rs
requested
The scheme is very thin and anyone
who bites at it is Il thoroughbred
sucker. 1t should receive the atten
ton of the postal authorities. Yuu
are pretty sure to get swindled if you
nibble at the bait.

Ohio Democratic Convention

SPRINGFIELD, (Ohio), August 21.-
at 1870 the Chairman of the State
Committee, M. A. Smalley, called the
convention to order. Senator Brice
was introduced as the presiding of.
ticer Of the convention and made a
speech in which he maintained that
the Democratic party fulfilled its
pledges by repeating the Sherman
law and the federal election law and
urged the party in Ohio to stand on
the national platforti of 1892 on the
currency. He eulogized Cleveland
as the greatest statesman of the
time.
The minority report of the commit
mittee on credentials, seating the an
Thrice delegates from Cleveland was
adopted by vote of 367 ayes to $3.50
nays. The Brice delegates from
Clarke county were seated by vote
of 44619 to 2741S.
The temporary officers were made
permanent and ex-Congressman
Frank Hurd Chairman Of the Com
mittee on Resolutions, submitted the
majority report Of the committee.
The part relating to National affairs
is as follows.
"The Democratic party of Ohio in
convention assembled points with
satisfaction and pride to the action of
that party in the last two years and
the results accomplished, according
to it's promises to repeal Republican
legislation known as the Sherman
law, the un-American federal election
law and the Mckinley law, from
which repeats have resulted returning
prosperity to the country to such an
extent that even Republicans are
obliged to recognize the same. We
congratulate President Cleveland that
his efforts in favor of the repeal of
these vicious laws and the uphold ing
OF the credit Of the country have been
successful. We congratulate our
Senator, Calvin s. Brice, for the ear
nest and effective support given the
President in these matters.
"When we consider the fact that
the Democratic party received from
the Republicans in 1892 a bankrupt
treasury, that it inherited from them
vicious currency and tariff laws which
had prepared and finally produced
the panic Of 1893, we insist that it is
time it received the thanks of the
people for the courage with which it
attacked and repealed these laws.
We reaffirm the following portion OF
the seventh plank OF the platform of
the last National Democratic Conyen.

eve hold to the use of both gold
and silver az the standard money OF
the country and to the coinage of both
gold and silver without discrimination

FORT WAYNE, Ind, Dec, 4,-will-
lam Stone, formerly member of the
Dalton gang, under sentence Of ten
years here for shooting Deputy Sheriff
Harold, has confessed to committing
murders IN Chicago, Cleveland and
IIanFns Gig, and several other places,
His story is one OF life OF murder
burglary, train and stage robbing ana
Is n startling confession.
Stone says that he and his partner,
William Walnth, killed a man at Kan
sas City, in 1888, and robbed him, but
later gave the money to Henry Don
nelly, u policeman. He contesses to the
murder of MrS. Stewart and her son
Clarence, in Cleveland, The bodies
were cut to pieces and thrown into
Lake Erie. He says the following
morning he killed boy In the Big -Four
yards In Tinudale, Ohio. .l
In Buffalo, he and Wnlrath, and
man named Burns, a saloonkeeper,
killed a wealthy western farmer who
was looking for good time. The mo-
ney was divided and Stone and Wall
rath returned TO Chicago and with their
share started n restaurant.
Here Walrath married stones SIS
ter. Mrs. Walrath died and Stone and
Walrath left Chicago. Later Stone re-
turned and was implicated In the MUIR
der OF father and son named Prunty.
Three men are said TO be now serving
life sentences AT Joliet for the crime, but
Stone was not arrested.
He then tells OF murder at Dunkirk,
n. y. where Dufiy stabbed q pal. "But-
falo Jack" four times and buried him
In the woods.
Another murder was committed At
Union City, Pa, the victim being an old
man named Horton or Norton. An-
other murder was committed by the
trio near youngstown. Ohio, the victim
being resident Of Ashtabula. The Inst
murder committed by Stone and Wall
rath was on April 90. 1895, on Penn
Rylvunn freight train. At this time,
Stone was shot and did not get medical
aid until South Bend was reached. The
next desperate act OF the trio was the
robbery OF a Grand Trunk train in
Michigan, where five watches and mo-
ney were secured. Two OF these watches
have been identified since their arrest
here.
CLEVELAND Ohio. Dec. 4.--The po-
lice Of this city think the confession OF
John Stone at Fort Wayne. Ind, Is
based largely on imagination. Moth
ing Is known here OF the crimes which
Stone says he and Walrath committed
in Cleveland and It Is certain that the
piir were not arrested here and that
they did not escape from jail by feign.
Ing insanity.
