The Presidential Vote.
Peculiar Growth OF Trees.
(Upper Sandusky Chief,D

kUIpeF SduuuSky Sulel.l
The farm of George Blooming-
dale in Marseilles tCwnsnip, while
excellent for all ttdnds of agricultural
products, is noted far and wide for
the curious growths of trees upon it.
Just on that particular farm nature
must have been little out of joint,
for at least four trees on the place
are most peculiarly shaped and yet
they are growing vigorously. The
free end of one of the trees, at some
time in the process of its growth, EN-
braced the trunk and they became
united, hence the trunk of the tree
has loop to it. Another has grown.
and its trunk took on quite crook
so that the tree might almost be i'm
agined to resemble a letter S. Wheth-
er intoxicated or not in it's growth, it
is now on quite bender. Another
tree has it's trunk divided some dis
tance from the ground in V-shape,
and the branches are large trees in
themselves. Another tree, probably
the most curious one of the lot, grows
in almost crescent shape, and is real
ly beautiful and extremity rare
growth.

Feet Crushed in a Hay Bailer.

On Tuesday morning about 8
o'clock, while bailing hay on the ].
Frantz farm, a half mile north of
Holgate, Fred. Magill had both of
his feet caught in the bailer, crushing
them in a terrible manner. MFR. Ma.
gill was on top of the bailer when the
accident occurred, pushing the hav
with his feet when he slipped and
fell into the bailer. The machine
was stopped as quickly as possible
and the unfortunate man extEjcated
from his perilous position, when it
was found that both OF his feet and
legs had been terribly injured. Drs.
Archer and Overhulse OF Holgate
were summoned and they found it
necessary to amputate the toes on
the left foot; the right ankle was Sc
verely crushed and the feet and legs
badly lacerated.
Magill is well known in Napoleon
having been raised here, and wentto
Holgate but a few years ago. His
brother Charles, who is EMPLOYED at
the Miller House, was telegrapbed
for and drove over. He states that
his brother is resting easily and gett-

BRYAN polled more votes in Iowa
than any Republican in the state
ever polled prior to this year, yet
Mckinley carried the state by plu-
rality Of $4,000 votes The federal
census of 1890 gave the state popula-
tion of 1911, 900; the state census of
1895 gave it 2,058, 900, or gain Of
147, 900 in five years, but according to
the vote of November 8, the state
gained 80 per cent in it's vote in one
year This would mean an increase
OF 5000 persons in each county in the
state in one year This clearly shows
that dishonesty of the most flagrant
kind has been practiced in counting
the votes. 1t is not saying too much
that Ohio cast anywhere from $4,000
to so, 1000 more votes than the state
has legal voters, says the Columbus
Record, and then goes on to say that
if it is true more votes were cast in
Ohio the past election than the as
SCISSORS show there were votes in the
state, the matter might bear investi-
cation. 1t is noteworthy, however,
that in those cities were there was
the vote was normal, but
in such places as had no registration
the Republican increase was of a
character to astound the "oldest in
Many well informed peo-
pie are satisfied that when William
j. Bryan received 475, 1000 votes he
received a majority of the legal
voters of the this state.

Congressndthe Cuban Question.

Senator Cameron on Monday pre-
sented the following resolutions as
coming from the committee OF the
Senate on foreign relations, and ask
ed for immediate action:
Resolved, By the Senate and
House of Representatives OF the Unit
ed States in congress assembled, that
the independence of the Republic oi
Cuba be, and the same is hereby &C
knowledged by the United States.
"Be it further resolved that tn"
United States will use its friendly OF
fees with the government of Spai9
TO bring TO a close thee war betweeu
Spain and the Republi c OF Cuba"
Congress seems determined to
ogniEe the patriots of Cuba in thei
efforts to throw off the yoke of Spain
while the President and Secretar
Olney are opposed to any action
present, and they go so far TO
that the President will not obey an,
action Of Congress for the recognitio
of Cuba, even if 1t is passed 0ver
Presidents veto. So the Presiden
and Congress have locked horns, an
the discussion which will likely en
sue upon constitutional power al
right will probably occupy the bal
ance of the short session of congress
and the Cuban question will be left
to the new Congress and Administra
tion for settlement.
The feeling is strong in favor o.
the Cubans and the enthusiasm mani
tested throughout the country fol
the cause of Cuban liberty recalls the
intense excitement aroused in this
country when the Mexican war broke
out ia the 4O's. Then as now com
panies were formed in all parts o.
the United States and both old anG
young hastened to the land of the
Montezumas to wage war for indie
pendence.
Then the great rally cry was IRE
member the Alamo!' where brave
Davy Crockett and other heroic mer
poured out their life's blood in the
struggle for Texan liberty.
Cuba libre" is the war cry that
is arousing our country to syinpathet
ic action in the present struggle with
Spanish oppression in America and
the cry is proving as potent to day as
it was whenIthoasaahds of lips re-echo
ed with Remember the Alamo"
