PREDICTS REPUBLICAN VICTORY.
Allen w. Thurman Thinks 10000 VIII
BE Sbont the Size of Il

S -NpoN' VIC 'iEe VI
The Friday before the recent Demo-
cratic state convention Mr.. Allen w.
Thurman had this to say about Brice
and his methods:
''Mr Brice, with all his money, would
be an easy mark by himself but he has
all the postmaSters, internal revenue col
lectors and government attaches at his
beck and call. There are some things
that money can not buy, and Mr.. Brice' $
money would DO no good if the admin
istration forces We're not at his back.
For instance, in Columbana county II
delegates were chosen. | am informed
that six of the II Were postmasters; that
is, two Of them are actual postInasters
and four Of them want TO be. 1t was
this way all over the state. This is
Cleveland's grand civil service" said
Mr.. Thurman, sarcastically. II am
glad of one thing" continued Mr.. Thur
man, "Mr. Brice says there will be no
straddle on the money question. The
issue will be squarely met"
"Who will be nominated for gov
ernor?" was asked
Jim Kilbourne, if the silver men con-
troll the convention" was Mr.. Thur
mans reply.
"Who, if the gold men control the
convention" 2" was asked.
81 don't know. 1t is evident that the
Republicans want the 'goldbugs' to con-
troll the convention. If they do the Re-
publicans will carry the state by not
less than 100 ,000."

History of ,ynnd County.

The work OF writing and compiling
an exhaustive history of this county
goes forward with even more energy
than was shown last winter, present.
ing tho strange feet that the more
lenrued and written on Wood county,
the moro remains to be written. The
details OF the coming of the Indians,
their reduction Ivy the soldiers of
Wayne and Harrison, the settlement of
the Caucasian and the beginnings Of
trade and agriculture were gathered
long ago, but the story of the pioneers
of Wood county, given with dates and
details, proved task at once us inter-
esting as it was tedious. To-day how
ever, twenty-one chapters of the general
history Of the county and twenty-six
chapters dealing with the townships
and the larger Incorporated towns are
well advanced toward completion,
while, in the biographical department,
an immense amount of work has al
ready been accomplished.
Little or. nothing has yet been done
on the military chapter, for the reason
that the lists OF soldiers by townships
have not all been verified. The lists
once in, the record of each soldier, who
went to the field from this county, will
be added, regimental sketches written
and great military chapter compiled.
The chapter on the transactions of
the commissioners, from 1920 10 1895,
and that on the Bench and Bar, for
the same term, may be considered fin
ished.
The political chapter, which gives
details OF important elections and po-
litical meetings, as wei, as lists of con-
gressmen, state senator's, representa-
tives, and all county officers,I may also
be said to be finished.
The chapters on the pioneer church
establishments, early schools and
teachers, agricultural associations,
public lands, medical profession and
statistics are exhaustive and matter of
fact stories, in which thousands of
names are preserved.
The chapter on the newspaper press
gives concise history of each paper
established in Wood county from 1888
to 1895. From every point OF view
this chapter deserves the large space
given it.
The history of Perrysburg township
and village contains the stories relat-
ing to the first settlers of Wood county
and the township pioneers; while the
township and village histories,
thoroughly localized, tell of the plo-
neers, the principal officials, churches,
early schools, societies and important
events beloning to each:
The chapter on the geology of Wood
county. and the greater chapter on her
gas and oil fields have received much
attention and are treated in a manner
worthy of the subjects.
This collection OF history will be sup
plemented by greater collection of
biography. j. H. Beers & Co. will
issue all in one imperial quarto volume,
elegantly. and substantially bound.
which will prove more lasting monu-
ment to the people than pyramids of
stone or brass.

"One OF the greatest political curses
ever heaped upon Wood county is the
fact that it is associated with Toledo
and Lucas county in the Senatorial and
Congressional districts. The Republi-
cans of Toledo always have fight on,

10 come To Wood county after it, but il
Wood county wants anything she may
as well 90 TO Africa as to go to Lucas
county for help."-Perrysburg journal,

FERGUS FALLS. MINS.. April 12.--In the
United States court here Grant Mason Of
GAINESVILLE was tried yesterday for oh
structing the mails during the Great
Northern strike last April. Testimony
was brief and the jury found HIM guilty.
ms conviction was followed by the con-
spiracy case against seven GAINESVILLE
men, and during its progress the dciel-
dants agreed to plead guilty to sbstructing
the mails. The conspiracy case was then
stopped and Mason, James Il. Knowles,
Robert Nelson. Thomas Fender, Fred. II.
Atkins, Charles Millineux and Fred Rath,
pleaded guilty.
Judge Nelson said that the offence bad
been Committed during time of great ex-
element; that II the employees had just
grievances against corporations and other
employers they had right to organize to
advance their own interests, but at the
same time could not transgress with inn
punity the laws that Congress had passed
for the protection of ali. He had no doubt
that they regretted their conduct and,he
would therefore impose fine upon them
instead of sending them to Jail. The fine
was fixed at 800 each.
The st. Cloud men, l.. D. Foster, Paul
Beaudreau aud William Borham, retired
for consultation with their attorneys, as
the case of Foster was to come to trial next
for conspiracy. II was apparent that he
would be convicted and they decided to
plead guilty Of obstructing the mails.
