The senatorial situation in Ohio, whether
viewed from the standpoint of a mere par
tisan that of patriotic citizen. is de-
plorable What wonder that intelligent and
honest people have come TO regard the pol
itician as a selfish trickster and nothing
more? Look at the situation. MIR. Hanna

Mr., Hanna IS appointed II senator for the
uneXpired term of Senator Sherman. Hav-
ing had his first taste of politi al power
Senator Hanna concludes that he wants
some more of the sort and, being
influential with the President, ne uses the
political patronage of Ohio to further his
ends. After the manner of politicians. he
rewards his friends and ignores all Repub-
leans who have not been training In his
camp. OF course, the other fellows do not

AN OPERA FOR HIS FEE
w. w. HEROD WILL HAVE HIS ELY
SUM WHILE HERE ON EARTH.
Max Rosenberg, an Alleged Bigamist,
Puts Him Into Possession of All
This-The Defense.

Attorney w. w. Herod has gone into the
theatrical business in a modest way. He
has consented to defend Max Rosenberg,
the alleged bigamist, whose trial has been
set down in the Criminal Court, and TO Sc
cure the payment of a fee Mr.. Herod has
in his possession the lbretto and score of
the opera "Elysium," which Rosenberg was
preparing to stage in Cincinnati at the time
of his arrest. Mr. Herod will retain possess
sion of the opera until the case has been
disposed of. 1t is said to be quite tuneful,
but requires a great chorus to present it
properly.
Rosenberg's attorneys are reasonably sure
of getting their client acquitted He was
arrested two months ago in Cincinnati OH a
Marion county grand jury warrant The in
dictment was procured here on information
furnished by Blanche Mitchell a Chicago
actress, who is represented by Blackledge
& Thornton. Miss Mitchell was married to
Rosenberg in November, 1896 In March,
1897, Rosenberg appeared here with Miss
Jennie Crawford, a pretty Chicago milliner,
and was married to her here. Judge Me-
Master, of the Superior Court. performed
the ceremony. 1t de 'aloped afterward, ac-
cording to the testimony before. the grand
jury, that Rosenberg left his first wife after
Two mOHtHS OF married lie, out was not
divorced from her at the time of his mar
riage here Subsequently both women pro-
cured divorces.
Rosenberg's story, as related to his at
torneys yesterday, differs materially from
the evidence before the grand jury. He ad-
mits his marriage to Miss Mitchell, but says
she became infatuated with him and in
duced him to marry her. IIe says he lived
with her but three weeks, when he saw he
had made a mistake. He says he proposed
to her that one of them should procure a
divorce, and then left her. He continued to
separation he received q note from the
woman asking him to meet her at the Great
Northern Hotel. He says he met her in
the parlor at the time appointed by her
and she there informed him he was free
that she had been to Dakota and had pro-
cured a divorce. During the winter, he
says, he met Miss Crawford and they came
here to be married. Rosenberg claims he
did not know his last marriage might be
termed irregular until he returned to Chi
cago with his wife. He was met by an at
torney representing wife No. l. who in
formed him that no divorce had been
granted in Dakota. Rosenberg says he was
greatly alarmed, and instructed the at
torney to have a divorce procured at once.
He says he gave the attorney money with
which to pay the expenses of the proceed
ings. Then he returned to the woman he
had married here, telling her of the facts
which, he says, took place. He says he also
gave her sum Of money and instructed
her to proceed at once to have the marriage
annulled.

A. F. Sullivan. general superintendent of

Vice President Harahan. has issued a cir
cular to all employees on their Northern and
Southern systems stating they have made
arrangements with the Railway Officials
and Employees Accident Association to in

selves of the offer. The plan is similar to
that of President FELTON,, of the Queen q

shared by the company and the share to
be paid by the employee is deducted from
his pay, if he avails himself of the propo-
stion. Several of the leading roads Of the

and the reputation it has attained are suff1-

affairs of the road are being conducted at

Commissioners Refuse a Saloon Liz

The remonstrance proceedings against
William Moeller, who had an application on
file to sell liquor in the town of Lawrence,
this county, took a peculiar turn yesterday.
The demonstrators based their petition to
the County Commissioners on the provisions
of the Nicholson law They claimed Moeller
was q nonresident of the town in which he
desired to carry on the saloon business and
that the place in which he sought TO sell
liquor did not front the public highway.
Yesterday was the day set for the hearing,
but before the proceedings began the re-
monstrance was withdrawn by a delegation
from Lawrence, who declared If they must
have IL saloon in the village they preferred
that Moeler coifduct it, The board how

called in Moeller. " hen a.. questioned L. he ad-

MAYORS CENSUS INVALID.
HuntingtOn's Police Commissioners,
WIZ He Ousted.


VIII He Ousted.
The State Supreme Court yesterday rem
dered a decision which deprives the city of
Huntington of its metropolitan police board.
The law of 1897 provided for police boards
in cities of over 10000 population, and the
mayor of Huntington, Simon T. Cost, think
ing to secure metropolitan airs for his town,
set about to secure census to ascertain If
the town contained the requisite number Of
citizens. He succeeded in doing this but
failed to convince number of incredulous
people In his own town as to the reliability
of the count IL also appears that some of
the members of the Common Counsel were
more inclined to retain control of the police
board than they were to advance the inter-
ests and glory of the town.
After the Governor, on the mayors show
ing, had appointed Edwin 3. Ayres, How
new police board, the malconteurs brought
suit to Gust it, They claimed that the mayor
had counted people who did not live in the
city limits, and that he had destroyed all
the returns, thus making it impossible to
verify the correctness of the census. The
lower court. however, ruled against them,
but the Supreme Court yesterday reversed
it's decision. The ground Upon which the
lower courts decision was reversed was that
all. In order that the census to be taken
by the mayor should be a valid one. the
court said there must be an official enroll
ment. which enrolment should be filed in
the archives OF the city as a public docu-
ment.
