Washington, June 23-From Central
America comes news OF one Of those pitt
full cases that at short intervals are
brought to the attention OF the state de-
partment where our great government is
shown TO be utterly unable to help in the
slightest degree its citizens when in the
depths OF distress. James William
Scandrett writes from Livingston, Gau-
temala, praying the secretary Of state
for help. He says he La an American cit
izen, having lived in San Francisco for
eleven years and has proofs Of good
character. Going to Salvador to erect
machinery, he had suffered the most
miserable hardships through sickness,
wounds and starvation.
Appeals for help to the American con-
sui were without avail because the Off
cial had no authority to spend money to
ship the man to New Orleans. He says
the British consul would have sent him
home had he been an Englishman, and
he prays the secretary for relief, lest he
dies of hardship. as the consul says there
is unfortunately no fund at the disposal
OF the state department for the relief Of
destitute Americans, such as the British
service provides

The Senate and The Tariff

The senate today contains eighty
seven members and forty-four con-
stitute a majority. The straight
Republicans number forty-two and
the opposition, made up of Demo
Gratis, silver Republicans and Popu-
lists, forty-five. The three vacan.
cies are Florida, Kentucky and
Oregon and to these appointments
have been made by the governors
cf the respective states. Were the
senate full by the admission of the
three appointees there would be
fOrty-four Republicans and forty
six opposition. Were it practicable
to unseat Kenney of Delaware and
seat Seas" Addicks there would be
in a full senate forty-five Republl-
cans and forty-five opposition, sup
posing the three opposing parties
acted together. In that case Vice
President Hobart would give a
casting vote on the Republican
side. But Addicks will not be seat
ed and the Republicans will be in
a minority, whatever may be done
regarding the three appointed sem
ators.
The senate is now organized on a
Republican basis, II is in the pow
er of the opposition, should they
combine for the purpose to reor-
ganize 1T and place the Republicans
in the minority on the committees.
Whether that step will be taken
cannot be predicted. A compromise
may be effected by which the Re-
by yielding part may re-
tain the rest.

Alphopso Karr,s pollto Rovcnro,

Alphonse Karr, the humorist, owned
an estate in the southern part Of
France. His neghbor was an elderly
italian count who owned a well-stock-
ed library. One day the author, who
had never met his neighbor, the count,
sent his servant with card request
ing the loan of book. The count re-
piled in a polite note, saying, that he
was sorry not to be able to oblige Mr.
Karr, but with him it was a matter OF
principle never to lend books outside
his house. At the same time he invit-
ed his neighbor to come to his house
at any time and his library would be
at his disposal all day. Karr availed
himself Of the privilege and became
friendly with the count, who not long
afterwards, sent TO his literary neigh.

sprinkler at your disposal all day."

vative measure, but there would be
objectors to "a tariff bill constructed
on high protection rather than
revenue lines. This is understood
and Senator Hanna is reported to
be bringing all his energy to bear
upon securing support for con-
servative bill. 1t is asserted that
he has forty-six votes assured for
such a bill and is striving for adj
ditional votes so that there will be
safe margin to work on. Fora
bill that will provide sufficient re-
venue, with incidental protection,
he can probably get votes among
both Democrats and silver Repub-
licans. A high protection bill will
most likely encounter the solid OPP
position of both.-Plain Dealer.

Hiles--NiXOn.

One of the delightful events Of
the season was the marriage of
Miss Margaret Nixon to Mr.. Thorn
as Hiles at the home of the brides
brother Mr.. John Nixon on North
Mulberry Street, Saturday evening
March 6. Quite number Of invit-
ed guests were present to witness
the ceremony. After listening to
the strains Of Il beautiful wedding
march played by Miss Lille Nixon,
the contracting parties were united
in marriage by Rev. w. II. Wright.
Congratulations being extended to
the happy couple, we were then in
vited into the dining room where a
very bountiful wedding supper
was in waiting. Mr.. and Mrs.
Nixon certainly know how TO carry
out this part of the program to
completion. The county Sheriff
can probably tell where the chick
en- went as he came on the pro-
gram near this foot. Mr.. John
Hiles declared that he saw the
County Clerk have the running
gears, but the preacher is quite
sure of getting away with the
preachers share Of it. Supper be-
Ing ended, an hour of social chat all

OBITU AIRY.

Margaret f. (GranD Calvert was
born in Frederick county, Virgin.
ia, October 6, 1928, and departed
this life at her home near the Rock
House, Hooking County o, March
3 1897, aged 68 years, 4 months and
27 days.
When young she came to this
couLty with her parents, She wa S
married to Jacob r. Calvert, Oct.
II, 1851. This union was blessed
with 4 children, sons and three
daughters. They Travelled life's
journey for 43 years, 10 months and
8 days, when the husband and
father was called away. Her wild
owhood days were not quite four
years. During these few years she
spent her time with her children,
but seemed very sad and lonely.
She was converted in early life
and united with the Baptist church
in the year 1910, where she remain
ed a faithful and influential men,
ber, and worker in the vineyard
of the Lord to the time of her de
partura. All the days of her life
she was well woman, until about
two months before her death she
became ailing. Although her suf-
fering was of short duration, it was
very great. But through all her
trials, temptations and Affections
she trusted in the Lord.
She was Of a cheerful disposition,
"A kind and loving wife and an af-
fectionate mother. Always ready
to help those who needed help in
the neighborhood. She was loved
and cherished by all who knew
her. Her Affections she bore with
Christian grace and fortitude and
said she was ready to go Home.
She will be sadly missed by all
who knew her, and more by her
son who cared for her during her
last sickness. Her seat will be va
cant in the home and in the church.
She often expressed herself that it
would not be long until she would
be with her dear husband and her
children that had gone OH before.
Her funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. Roberts of the u. b.
church, and her remains were laid
away in the Baptist cemetery to
await the resurrection morn. Our
loss is but her eternal gain.
She leaves six sons, one daughter
and 26 grand children, one great
grand child and host of friends to
mourn her departure. But we are
glad too that we can say, "Mother
has gone to better world than
this, where parting is no more".

STILL "GASING"
Are the Citizens of Logan
on this All-iInpOrtant
Question.
A Possibility of Bonds for Gas Pur-
poses Carrying.

We find by diligent search ant
careful inquiry among our citizens
that the cause of a bond issue fol
gas purposes is not by any means
II lost one. In the face of the alb
horn ence of our representative citl
zens to further bonding themselves
thus driving away floating capital
yet the friction that has existed be-
tween the Logan Natural Gas Co
and these citizens has wrought
them to the pitch of biting off their
own noses to spite the face. Though
it is thoroughly known that nearly
every city in Ohio suffer Il higher
rate of gas service than Logan,
except Lancaster, that exception is
the pole that is knocking the per-
simmons. When we say to Mr..
| Citizen who has an enormous tax
to pay, GLOW do you feel about is
suing bonds for the purchase and
operation of our own plants" The
stereotyped answer is "Well, it
seems like almost annihIation to
further bond ourselves, yet we feel
oppression in the gas rents we
pay" Says the news paper man,
"Don't you know that our gas rates
are lower than many cities in
Ohio?" Eyes, but look at the pric-
es at Lancaster; ours should be the
same" There is the persimmon
knocker. Lancaster has gas at one
dollar per fire, and Logan cannot
understand why she should not be
thus favored. The answer is this: |:
The city Of Lancaster was first in
this gas belt, to strike while the
iron was hot. She saw a good
thing and nailed it to the mast
about six years ogo, since which
time she has constantly drained
this gas belt, until she needs now
often double wells to keep up the
supply. We see it six years too
late, with vague possibilities for
the future. We have issued bonds
to bore holes, and now feel con-
strained to 60 slow, yet there are
those among us who are heavy tax
payers, that will shut their eyes
against future bond and awful tax,
and "vOte for cheaper gas" thus
making it possible that we be
bonded against our second sober
judgement, The proposition of the
Sharp Bros, of Corning, is a good
one as far as go the possibilities OF
human search and control, but for
us to spend twenty-five or thirty
thousand dollars to pipe to their
wells and service pipe our town, in
the face of the gas petering out the
III ~ Va SINOiu y val 40 tIudIIy ull-
expected to them as us, is the risk
that must be run in the event of
the consummation ofsuch contract.
In other words, we are to pay them
