BRICES TO RETURN TO OHIO
SENATOR TALKS OF HIS IN.
TENTIONS.
Will Be in the State Frequently
and Will Work for the Sue
cess Of Democracy.

NEW YORK, May 12.-"I shall take
no part in directing events in the
matter of the democratic state con-
vention, nor am | in any sense a
candidate for reelection to the
United States Senate, though l shall
visit Ohio for the success of the
democratic state ticket
The first positive and authentic
statement by former democratic
United States Senator Calvin s.
Brice, as to his present intentions
was made to reporter at the Metro
politan club and will not be without
its weight in shaping events in Ohio
during the next few weeks.
Il cannot but take deep interest
in the future of my party in my ma
tive state" said Mr.. Brice. II have
business interests in almost half the
counties of Ohio, and a deep interest
in the welfare of them all. My family
will return to Lima as soon as the
lease on my Washington house ex-
pires in June, and l shall be in the
state frequently during the summer
and fall, and may take an active
part in the campaign.
"As to exercising any part in the
events Of the state convention | have
no intention whatever. The ques-
ton of the senatorship is one that
must await the result of the state
election, l take it. 1t will be ample
time then to discuss the senatorship.
The party ought to be successful in
Ohio this fall. l believe it will be,
and am always ready to do my part
for its advancement and success.

news. When urine stains linen it is
positive evidence of kidney trouble.
Too frequent desire to urinate or
pain in the back, is also convincing
proof that the kidneys and bladder
are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge
so often expressed; that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney
remedy, fulfills every wish in reliev-
ing pain in the back, kidneys, liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
passages. 1t corrects inability to
hold urine and scalding pain in pass
ing it, or bad effect following use of
liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes
that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to get up many times dur
ing the night to urinate. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of
Swamp Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
If you need a medicine you should
have the best. Sold by druggists

MCKINLEY and CUBA.
HIS MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.
NOT RELISHED BY THE
TRUE FRIENDS OF Gu
BAN LIBERTY,
1t is Weak and Meaningless.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Presi-
dent to-day sent the following mes
sage to Congress:
ITO the Senate and House of Representa-
tives ofthe United States:
Oniclal information from our con-
suls in Cuba establishes the fact that
large number of American citizens
In the island are in a state of desti-
tion, suffering for want of food and
medicines. This applies particularly
to the rural districts of the central
and eastern parts.
The agricultural classes have
been forced from their farms into
the nearest towns where they are
without work or money.
The local authorities of the sever
al towns, however kindly disposed,
are unable to relieve the needs of
their own people, and are altogether
powerless to help our citizens.
The latest report of Consul Gen
eral Lee estimates 600 to 800 Ameri-
cads are without means of support.
have assured him that provision
would be made at once to relieve
them. To that end | recommend
that Congress make an appropria-
tian OF not less than $50, 900 to be i'm
mediately available for use under the
direction OF the secretary of state.
1T Is desirable that a part of the
sum which may be appropriated by
Congress should, in the discretion Of
the secretary of state, be also used for
the transportation of American citi-
zens who desiring to return to the
United States are without means to
DO SO. (Signed)

New Passenger Agent.

Mr.. A. j. Richter has taken charge
Of the passenger department OF the
Lima Northern, with headquarters at
Detroit, in place of ]. Bastable, who
was compelled to resign on account
of i'll health.
In speaking of Mr.. Richter the
Blade says:
HE is a Pennsylvania man, having
served in the construction, operating
and traffic departments of that great
system. He is acquainted with all
the details of the Office work OF the
passenger department, which is one
of the qualifications of a successful
organizer. Furthermore he proved
himself to be an excellent outside
man while connected with the Hook
ing Valley in Toledo.
"Although now only 80 years of
age, he began his railroad career fif-
teen wears ago on the Cincinnati
division of the Pennsylvania as Office
boy in the Office of the engineer of
maintenance of way. From this
position, he rose rapidly to the posi-
tion OF private secretary to the super
intendent. After serving a number
of years as chief clerk to the superin-
tendent, he was transferred to the
traffic department and appointed
chief clerk to the general passenger
agent of the G. g. NJ. V. division OF
the Pennsylvania. His work in this
position won for him promotion to
the city passenger agency of the
Pennsylvania lines at Cincinnati. He
served in this capacity for four years
and then resigned to accept position
with the Gaze Tourist company, of
London, England. Later he resign
ed to accept the district passenger
agency for the Hooking Valley at To
ledo. Mr.. Richter leaves tomorrow
for Detroit to assume the duties OF

A monument in honor of the SOL
diers of Henry county should be erect
ed in Napoleon, and that at no dis
tant day too. But how to go about
it? A school teacher in a neighbor-
ing county suggests plan, which is
not bad, it is this: An entertainment
be given by every school in the coun-
ty, and a small admission fee (say 10
cents) be charged, the proceeds to go
toward the erection Of soldiers
monument. We feel satisfied that
the scholars will favor the matter, if
the teachers will take the interest
to suggest it and make the arrange
ment. The entertainment can con-
sist of orations, essays, or any other
form which may seem most appro-
pirate in each neighborhood. There
are over one hundred schools in the
county, and even if the proceeds from
each would be small, the aggregate
would swell a fund for that purpose
to no small extent. What school will
take hold of the matter first? Let all
act. The money can be sent to some
member of the G.. A. R., hereafter to
be designated by the Post, and the
amount raised by each school pub
lished. Let US have soldiers monu-
ment.

this years convention upon life and
character in ''the far west?'

meets in San Francisco, July 7th to
18th. The fare will be $25. 5.00 going
from Chicago and $25. 90 returning,
or $1,000 from st. Louis.

number to take this wonderful trip.

have arranged for a special Ohio
train to leave st. Louis at o'clock,
Tuesday night, June 30, stopping at
Colorda Springs and over Sunday at

"Our paper is two days late this

lowing to an accident to our press.
When we started to run the edition
on Wednesday night, as usual, one
of the guy ropes gave way, allowing
the toward gilder-fluke to fall back
and break as it struck the flunker-
Hopper. This of course, as anyone
who knows anything about a press
will readily understand, left the gang
plank with only the flip flap to sup
port it, which also dropped and broke
the wapper- choke. This loosened the
finking between the ramrod and the
fibber-snatcher, which also caused
trouble. The report that thetrouble
was caused by over-indulgence in in
toxicating stimulants by ourself is a
tissue of falsehoods, the peeled ap-
pearance of our right eye being
caused by our going into the hatch
way of the press in our anxiety to
start it, and pulling the coupling-pin
after the slap-bung was broken,
which caused the dingus to rise up
and welt us in the optic. We expect
