In AIemoriam.

DEsELM.-Frank DeseIm, a young
and highly respected citizen of
RidgeYille, departed this life without
moments warning. on Tuesday.
Feb. 10th, 1897, aged 81 years. 5
months and days. He was born
Sept. 18th, 1869, and was married to
Miss Nellie Dietz of this township
Sept. 25th, 1892.
Our community has seldom receiv-
ed greater shock than that receiy-
ed upon hearing of his. sudden de-
parture. Mr.. Deselm had recently
purchased a small farm, upon which
he and his estimable wife had com.
menced to hew out competence
for the future. AS a citizen he was
highly regarded by alias a friend
and neighbor he was kind and oblig-
ing, an affectionate son and brother,
and his bereaved wife will bear testi-
mony that as a husband he was all
that she could ask.
The immediate cause of his death
is said to have been the bursting OF a
blood vessel in the brain. He and
his brother Elmer were saving wood
at the door. Sitting down to rest,
he Immediately fell over sensele s
and was probably dead before he
could be gotten into the house. DIR.
Coy was called but could be OF no
service.
Funeral services were held on
Thursday at the NJ. E. Church in
this village, Rev. A. E. Thomas the
pastor, officiating. An immense
crowd of people were in attendance
and great sympathy was manifested,
especially for the heartbroken wife
and young child. 1t is confidently
hoped that He who tempers the wind
to the shorn. lamb will have them
in His keeping. The hope of a
meeting IN another sphere is the only
lining of silver to this dark cloud OF
adversity.
The text from which was preached
the funeral discourse was taken from
1st Corinth., 18th chapter and 18th
verse: For now we see through a
glass darkly but then face to face.
Now know in part, but then shall |
know even as also am known.
THE gloomiest day has CLEANS oflight.
The darkest wave hath white foam near it.
And wrinkles through the cloudiest night
Some solitary star to cheer it.
The gloomiest soul is not all gloom
The saddest heart is not all sadness,
And sweetly DER darkest gloom
There shines some lingering gIeam of glad
ness"
To all the mourning friends, of
whom there is large number, we
pray that
When soon or late. they reach the shore
Ger lifes rough ocean driven,
They may rejoice, no wanderer lost
A family in Heaven. VITO.

Something About OhiO's Next
United States Senator.

Hon. M. A. Hanna will be sixty
years of age next September, having
been born on the Gath day of that
month in the year 1887, at New Lis
bon. Notwithstanding the fact that
Mr.. Hanna's birthplace was in Co
lumbiana county, he may be consid-
cred product of the city of Cleve-
land, as his father, the late Leonard
Hanna, removed to this city when
his son was lad of fifteen years. Mr..
Hanna, the father, established a
Wholesale grocery store in the city,
and his son attended the schools Of
the city.
After leaving the High school he
attended Western Reserve college
and in 1887, at the age of twenty
years, began his career in commercial
circles. That career has been a busy
one ever since. Mr.. Hanna started
in business as a clerk in his fathers
store at q salary of $25 month. He
was steadily promoted, as he was an
earnest worker, and finally became q
salesman and as such did some travel
ing for the firm. He remained with
the firm until 1867, when the business
was sold, and during the following
year he organized the Buckeye Oh
works. In 1868 he became interested
in vessels. Since then the Hanna
fleet has become one of the largest
on the great lakes.
The iron and coal Industries inter
ested Mr.. Hanna early in his business
career, and he associated himself
with the firm of Rhodes & Co. In
1885 that firm was dissolved, and was
succeeded by the firm of M. A. Han
ma & Co., the operations of which are
among the most extensive of any
iron and coal firm in the state. To
enumerate the business enterprises
in which Mr.. Hanna is interested
would require much time and space.
Mr.. Hanna married in September,
1864, Miss Augusta Rhodes, daughter
Of the late Daniel P. Rhodes, one of
the pioneer vessel owners and iron
and coal dealers of the city. From the
union thus formed three children
were born; Daniel r. Hanna, who
is associated with his father in busi-
ness, and who lives on Euclid avenue;
Miss Mable Hanna, and Miss Ruth
Hanna.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hanna and their two
daughters live in a mansion on Lake
avenue, overlooking Lake Erie. Al
though the structure is a compare
lively new one many distinguished
guests have been entertained there,
among them being governors OF
states and United States senators,
who have come to Cleveland to con-
fer with Mr. Hanna on political ques-
tions. The hospitality OF Mrs. Hanna
has contributed in no small degree
in increasing the fame or her distin-
guished husband, and when her nus
band takes his seat in the United
States senate she will undoubtedly
become one of the leaders of society
at the national capital.

GOVERNOR BUSHNELL has come
down from his high horse and has
given it out that Hanna is to be the
successor OF Sherman. 1t took a
deal of tugging and pulling to get
the Gov. down, but he had to come,
and now the merry war Of the fac
tions has just begun. The skIrmish
will end in the overthrow of both
Bushnell and Hanna. The people
next fall will make Bushnell year
ling and Hanna a short terner.

THE Democrats of Wyandot county
have adopted the following as one OF
the rules for their primary election;
Only those who voted for Bryan
and the Democratic ticket at the No
vember election of 1896, shall be per-
mitted to vote at the primary elec-
tion.
That is right! No one who failed
to vote the Democratic ticket last fall
should be permitted to take part in
the nomination of candidates. Re-
pentant deserters and new converts
should fall in at the rear of the pro-
cession.

TIE way public money = souando,

THE way public money is squander-
ed is best illustrated by the fact that
the house Of representatives within
forty minutes passed the sundry civil
appropriation bill, amounting to over
$4,000, 900. Speaker Reed was op-
posed to the steal, but was to no
avail. The spoilsmen were after 1t,
and they had to have it. In the
meantime the tax payers must foot
the bill and the deficit continues.
Great is Republican administration.

N1r. Lonen nf Nerndn.

Mr. Jones Of Neveda holds the balance
of power in the Senate finance committee,
thanks to the Senates peculiar methods
of procedure, and the committee can do
nothing without his express permission.
The committee is just now trying to per-
feet some legislation of especial interest to
seventy-odd millions of people. But Mr..
Jones of Nevada, representing a little one
horse, pocket borough. mining camp,
prize fighting constituency, holds the COM
mittee, and the Senate. by the throat and
says that nothing shall be done until he
gets what he wants.
And what is it that Jones of Nevada
wants? More protection for the silver
mine owners and other capitalists of the
west, and more taxation for the mine lab
orers and other consumers. He wants the
rates raised on certain classes of woods.
Clothing does not cost enough to suit the
ideas of Mr.. Jones' The miners are
dressing too comfortably. He wants them
to wear poorer clothes, and more shoddy
than they are now wearing. He wants
the rate on lead ores increased. There is
close connection between lead ores and sill
yer mining. Since the government has
declined to furnish the silver mine owners
with an unlimited market for their pro-
ducton, Mr.. Jones wants it to give him
and the other silver mine owners bonus
in the way of authority to tax consumers
of lead. He wants the Hawaiian treaty
repealed. This, by the way, might be a
step in the right direction. But Mr.. Jones
is not disposed to make a fight on the Ha-
waiian matter if he can get his schemes for
higher protection for his sage brush state
accepted.
To accomplish his purposes Mr.. Jones of
Nevada flibusters between the republican
and democratic lines. He is willing to
sell out to either party that will give him
the bigger price. But he demands a big
price. The republican majority of the
committee has already made concessions
to him. He wants more. He tells them
if they do not accede to his wishes he will
prevent the reporting of the bill to the
Senate until it has been thoroughly dis
cussed in the full committee. He tells
the democrats that he will not assist them
in forcing the discussion of the bill in full
committee IL they will not aid him in push
ing his jobs through. Meantime the course
of the bill, as well as the bill itself, is in
definite. In order to avoid Jones, the
majority of the committee may find it
necessary to report the Dingley bill back
to the Senate without the scratch of a pen
upon it, 1t all depends upon Jones. One
man, representing a state with a popula-
ton about equal to that Of the city of
Augusta, Ga, bosses the situation affect
ing the interests of the whole nation.

The father of Senator Foraker of Ohio
was a farmer. He had eleven children,
six being boys, and money was none too
plenty. The boys all worked on the
farm, and the future governor and sena-
tor was taught to wash and iron, to milk,
cook and spin, and. in addition to all this
to pick the geese a the proper time of
year. His first schooling was in log
cabin, and it was there he wore his famous
coffee sack trousers, which his mother
provided for him when he had torn all

Thought It WAS 1ngersol1.

When Adams had his face lathered and
soraped and powdered into a smooth
white waste he closely resembles Col. Rob
ert G. lngersoll, says the Chicago Daily
News. This resemblance can only be trac-
ed every Sunday, however as during the
remainder of the week Adams allows his
features to accumulate an exceedingly dis
reputable appearing stubble.
During one of his closely-shaven periods,
when he least resembled his natural self,
Adams had his photograph taken. One of
the pictures graced the mantei in his par
lor. There it was noticed by a friend of
Mrs. Adams, who had seen the master
of the household only during the unshaven
six-sevenths of their acquaintance, and
who, accordingly, mistook the photograph
for a likeness of 1ngersoll. AS the friend
is very strong in her religious convictions
and believes in endeavoring to make ev-
erybody else so, she took Mrs. Adams to
task.
Il am surprised that you should have
that mans photograph on your mantel,
she said sternly to Mrs. Adams.
why, I'm sure / should have that pho
tograph there in preference to any other
even of father or brother" replied the
puzzled housewife, in a somewhat resent
full tone.
WHAT" gasped the friend. "And you
used to be so devoted to the church. Do
you mean to tell me that you believe what
that man says?'
Certainly 1 do. I would believe him
against the world. DO you mean to cast
any aspersions on his truthfulness?"
why, it was only last Sunday that our
minister denounced him from the pulpit .
said the friend, upon whom the icy tone
of Mrs. Adams last remark was entirely
lost.
why. you and your minister must be
crazy. Denounce my husband! Never
Why, he goes to church"
But at the word husband the friend
had rushed to the photograph, which she
examined closely, and then returned on the
verge of tears, Historically murmuring
something about terrible mistake IS
1t took seven cups of tea to straighten
matters.
