Court

The trial of Arthur Barber and
Pearl Dupler occupied the court
since last Thursday, the trial clos
ing on Monday night with verdict
Of guilty With shooting with intent
to kill. Dupler was on trial also for
aiding and abetting, was acquitted.
Nearly 100 witnesses were sum-
moned on both sides, and great in
terest has been manifested.
The case grew out of the shooting
at Longstreth, on the 10th of May
last, at church festival, when Dun
can Chrislan was killed, and his
father badly wounded by Barber.
Barber admitted the shooting but
claimed it was done in self defense.
Dupler had been held as an acces-
sorry.
The second degree murder indict-
ment against Barber and Dupler was
nollisd, and Barber sentenced to ten
years in the peniteniary. Dupler
was discharged.
The court adjourned on Tuesday,
until next Monday, to give place to
the Circuit Court, which opened ses-
sion yesterday morning.

A BAD RECORD
Has Mckinley Made In Con-
sular Appointments.
MIR. CULLOM IS DISGUSTED.
Tho Illinois Statesman Unbosoms Him.
self To q Prominent Citizen-Chi-
cago Appointments Prom
ised Before Election.

The Chicago Journal published the
following extract from letter written
by Senator Cullom to prominent Illi-
noisan:
81 have not been able to get ths
president, In single instance, in the
selection of consuls to listen to what I
had to say, and carry out my wishes.
II am utterly disgusted at the way
things have been going here in the
way Of consulships. I have never
known anything like It.
Il believe. the appointments that
have been made for Chicago were all
promised by Hanna and Mckinley be-
fore the election, probably before the
convention.
81 have labored with the president,
gang he was appointing was not worth
a snap, either for politics or anything
else.
He has never allowed the state de-
partment to settle single consulship.
He gives his orders to the department
for the selection of his men and they
carry out his program"
A letter written by prominent resi-
dent of Washington to the same Illi-
noisan credits Cullom with saying:
Mckinley seems to like to appoint
scalawags to Office from Illinois. The
reason your friend has not been ap-
pointed is probably because he Is
gentleman"

HANNA'S RECORD. 90
4 Sample OF His Popularity With shsi

Mark Hanna. in his recent opinion
at Burton, Ohio, where he helped open
the Republican campaign, posed as the
friend Of labor. and claimed that tho
laboring men in his own section Of the
state appreciated the fact. Figures are
said never to lie, and study of the
election statistics of Marks own coun-
ty, Cuyahoga, tells different story. In
1895 the Republican majority In Cuya-
hoga county was 10,77S. In 1896, when
the Gold Democrats were voting for
Mckinley, and Hanna was spending
money like water to carry Ohio for Nc
Kinley, and was making special ef-
fort in Cuyah2ga county, McKinley's
majority in Cuyahoga was 5,87S, barely
one-hah Of what it had been year be-
fore, and the heaviest Democratic gains
were in the wards where the working
man voted. This Is sample Of Hanna1
popularity with the workingnen in his
own home. For the whole summer OF
1896 the Brown Hoisting works, in
which Hanna was largely interested.
was under military guard as the re-.
suit of labor troubles and strike Of
the men for living wages. The coal
strike Of 1897 began in mines in which
Hanna was partner. For friend OF
labor this is good record. Actions
speak much louder than words, and
the workingmen of Ohio will prefer to
Judge Mark Hanna by what he has
done in the past rather than by hia
honeyed words on the stump. "The
leopard cannot change his spots," and
Mark Hanna cannot make himself
friend Of labor by empty campaign
speeches Ask the laboring men Of
Cleveland and they will tell you that
Hanna has ever been their enemy.
Conger says that Mark Hanna's NOM
ination is an insult to the laboring
men of Ohio, and he knows whereof he
speaks.

NO MAN OWNS THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY.

The Gazette seems to be little wor.
ried about whether the Record sup
ports or opposes John r. Mclean for
United States senator. So far as We
know, Mr.. Mclean is not candidate
for United States senator or any other
Office, and we see no reason why we
should support or oppose any man Tor
Office until we know that he Is can
didate. Mr.. Mclean may be a eandi-
date, and there are others in the DEM
ocratic party who may aspire to the
Office, but unlike the Republicans, who
are fettered and bound to one candi-
date who controls and dictates the poll
icy of the party for personal gain, the
Democrats are tied to no one candi-
date for senator, and all will have an
equal show when the proper time
comes. The Record has no preference
at this time. We are fighting with our
party to gain control of the state leg
islature, and when that is done there
is time enough to consider the different
candidates and choose from among
them. There is plenty Of good material
in the Democratic party, however, from
which to choose United States sena-
tor, and we have no fear but what one
can be found who Will be far superior
to Marcus A. Hanna, one who will rep
resent the interests Of the state and
the people at large instead Of the trusts
and combines, be 1t John r. Mclean
or anyone else. The Republicans, how
ever, have no voice in the matter. Mar
Gus A. Hanna is the only candidate
they dare support, as he owns them.
body and soul, and it would be suicide
for any other candidate to express any
desire in the matter.-Putnam County

OBIT UARY.

Allied Gushing James was horn on
April 90, 1854 and died Sept. 81,
1897 IN the 44th year of his age. He
was married to Miss Emma E. Shau-
yer, September 10th. 1874, who died
August 3lst. 1879 preceding him
70 the better land over Is years ago.
She was an amiable, beautiful
christian girl, and their marriage was
one of love and most happy. Her
husband never recovered from the
shock, mourning in single life her
early departure to the last.
Who shall say that her happy spir-
it was not his minlstering angel. all
the years of his remaining life, and
the first to meet and greet him on
the other shore.
Are they not all miuistering spirits
sent forth to minister to those who
shall be heir to salvation.
Mr.. James made no formal profes-
sion of faith by uniting with the
church but being born into the king
dom of God, dedicated to him in in
fancy, and reared in christian home
and the subject of many prayers and
tears, Of the saintlest of christian
mothers, he conld not but be favor
able impressed toward the christian
life, and in his better moments in the
stiffness of the night his heart wpu.d
be lifted up in prayer to his Mothers
God.
He inherited many of the excellent
traits OF his noble CHRISTIAN mother,
kind, generous affectionate and true.
Of him, his motherin-law, with whom
he made his home and who so tender
ly cared for him in affections could
say the Is years he was most of the
time with her, he had never given
her cross word.
1t has been my privilege to enjoy
his confidence and friendship from his
boy hood, be was ever pleasant cheer
full and hopeful. 1 visited him in bis
illness, always found him bearing
his severe sufferings with courage
and fortitude.
I prayed with him and conversed
with him as to his spiritual state.
He spike freely and frankly, l asked
if hs was trusting in Jesus and he
said yes.
If he took him as mis- personal
Savior he answered. yes. If he was
praying to him during his sickness, he
said yes.
In my last visit to him Saturday
morning l told him 1 was going to
preach on the Sabbath and he smiling
ly said he would like to go along
and preach too.
My last words with him were care
you trusting Jesus, he replied "if /
were not 1 would not be here"
On Monday morning, when l re-
turned home l learned that about
o'clock his spirit had taken its depart
ure to God who gave it.
Jesus said '.He that cometh to me
| will in no way cast out" and to
Martha he said 81 am the resurrection
