many people went tobed without

Been a good many accidents
about this place recently, among
which is the falling of Jerome
Brinker from wagon, breaking
an arm leg and some ribs.
Then some man horse ran away
throwing him off and soiling him
up so his friends hardly recogni-
zed him.
There is a blind preacher, a
man that can't see, preaching IN

The town of Millwood, a SUI

The latest in regard to the cabi-
net is that Judge Golf may be made
Secretary of State. The necessary
deal in Ohio politics to bring about
a degree of harmony so that sher
man and Hanna both would bc re
conciled cannet be arranged. Sher
man has evidently refused to go in
to the cabinet, and SO has Allison,
of Iowa. Those whom the Presi
dent want for premier he cannot
get, and those who want to be prems-
er do not quite measure up to the
standard he has fixed. In this di-
lemma, correspondent says, he has
turned in another direction and the
chances now are that the position
will be offered TO Judge Nathan
Goff, ofthis State. If Judge Golf is
willing to abandon his present po
sition for political life, it seems that
the position of Secretary of State
would be most tempting one, and
it is unlikely that the President
could anywhere find a public man
who would fill the Office with more
credit to himself and with more
honor to the administration than
would Judge Goff-ParkersbuF9
