THE Republican party is depend
ent upon the colored vote for every
success in national elections; but be-
tween campaigns the colored man is
only a common low down negro to
the Republican politicians. Just now
the black mans influence in the
Southern States is being industrious
ly cultivated by the Mckinley and
Reed presidential boomers. The ne
gro understands that his position
with the Republican party is only
one of service, without hope of politi-
cal reward; so he looks after his paw
by demanding cash in advance for
the votes ne can control in the Re-
publican national convention. The
Republican boodlers are after the
colored delegates and the longest
pole will swipe the persimmons. DE

oFINTEREsT TO VETERANS.
There is a Possibility of no Grand
Encampment This Year.

1t is among the probabilities that
there will be no national encamp-
ment of the G.. A. R. this year, says
the State Journal. The Western
passenger association has finally de-
termined not to grant the desired
time extension on reduced rate tick
cts to st. Paul, the place selected by
the Louisville encampment last
September, and Grand Commander
Ivan N. Walker is on record as say
ing that on account of such refusal
the council of administration will Sc
lect some other city. Being informed
that none of the roads, east or west
would allow the privilege asked for.
Commander Walker declared that in
that event, there would be no nation
al encampment in '96. This is very
unfortunate and it is hoped the mat
ter will be adjusted satisfactory. AT
ter st. Paul the city of Buffalo ap-
pears to have the call, provided sat
factory arrangements as to rates,
time. etc. are made.

High Old Fences.

You can build your fences Just as
high as you please when you want to
make your neighbor feel miserable.
according to a recent decision hand
ed down by the Ohio Supreme Court.
You oughtn't to do it, of course, but
if you are bound to here is what the
Supreme Court says:
l.. and K. owned adjoining lots and
l.. erected on his lot a board fence
reaching to the roof of X. s house,
which stood on the line of the two
lots, which fence shut off light and
air from the windows from the house
of K. to its injury, which fence was
so erected by L. for no use or orna-
mental purposes, but from motives
of unmixed malice toward X. In an
action by X. against L. to compel
the removal of the fence held: That
l.. had a legal right to erect and
maintain such fence, and that neith-
er law nor equity could compel it's re-
moVal.

AM echo of the intense agitation

An echo of the intense agitation
over boundary line between Ohio
and Michigan in the early part of the
century which resulted in Governor
Lucas sending troops to northwest
ern Ohio, was heard in the senate
Friday, when the Vogt resolution
providing for the determination of
the boundary line between the two
states was under consideration. Not
to this day has the boundary line
been fully established. There is a
strip of land between Lucas county,
Ohio, and Monroe county, Michigan,
over which neither state has had con-
troll. The senate adopted Mr.. Vogt's
resolution providing for the appoint
ment of three commissioners by the
governor to act with a like commits
sion for Michigan to peacefully settle
this question.

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
From the Imprisonment of a
Folding Bed-The Experience
of Two Ladies at
FOstOria.
fFrom Fostoria Times.l

Two ladies living on Potter street
this morning had an experience with
folding bed that they will remem-
ber to the ends of their lives, and
which will suffice to turn them
against any kind of mechanical sleep
ing arrangements in the future
Mrs. M. H. Bohreer and Mrs. M. A.
Eshelman are the two ladies to
whom reference is made, and who
are today congratulatlng themselves
on q narrow escape from terrible
death.
Mr.. Bohreer left yesterday for Ala
bama, regular business trip of his,
and Mrs. Eshelman who makes her
home with the Bohreer's occupied
the folding bed with Mrs. Bohreer at
the hour for retiring. Both soon
fell asleep, and both were awakened
seemingly short time afterwards,
by heavy weight pressing heavily
against them. Mrs. Bohreer took in
the awful situation, and by violent
efforts managed to squeeze to the
foot of the bed. The lock in this had
sprung also and she almost gave up
all hopes of life, for already the air
was most painful to the lungs.
In desperation she began to kick
upon the foot board with all her
strength and when she was just
ready to leave off, out of exhaustion
the lock suddenly yielded, and she
was able to crawl out through the
aperture thus left at the foot of the
bed. Regaining her lost strength in
the fresh air, she raised the heavy
piece of furniture, and after some
work rescued Mrs. Eshelman who
was by this time almost suffocated
but soon revived and set out for a
doctor to attend Mrs. Bohreer, who,
after the excitement showed signs of
injuries.
A doctor called and found the lady
to have sustained several sprains, in
her efforts to free herself, but outside
of these was unhurt and would re-
cover.

An old farmer expresses the opin1
ion that time is not far distant when
the farmers will cultivate their wheat
crop. He relates an instance where
a farmer tried cultivation and its re-
suits. The farmer removed every
other fluke from his drill thus sowing
double the quantity. He then culti-
waited the wheat after the spring
rains and was rewarded with forty
bushels to the acre while the re-
mainder of the field sown in the ordi-
nary way yielded only twenty to the
acre.

A great many gas wells of the In
diana gas field have changed the
character of their product and are
producing an abundance of oil. This
would go to prove the theory which
has been held by some prominent
prospectors throughout the country
for number of years, which has
been based upon the claim wherever
gas was found, oil could also, and
would eventually be produced. The
theory held by the believers in the
close connection of oil and gas is
that the lighter or more volatile sub
stance found at the top passes off
first, and then the oil comes later.
After this salt water is found, which
was deposited beneath the oil and
