Dearmond. of Missouri, used the con-
Pratulatory kilograms exchanged with
Hanna over his election and publishes
them as text for semi-humorous at
tack upon the republican party. "The
gentleman" Dearmond said. chad
telegraphed President Mckinley: God
reigns and the republican party still
lives The first proposition he con-
tinued admitted of no argument. God
reigns and what followed was, there
fore all the more inexplicable. The
republican party still lives Cannon

DES MONIES, Ia, January, 13.-
With the usual pOmp, ceremony and
enthusiasm Ho1o- BILE Leslie NJ. Shaw
wa= today iuau gurated governor of the
state Of Iowa succeeding Francis
NJ. Drake and j. G. Miiliam
took the oath of Office as
lieutapant-governor to succeed Matt
Parrott. 1t is stated as fact that GER
tain superstitious folk urged the COVER
nor-elect to defer the Inauguration one
day on the ground that his term of Of
fee might prove unluck if he were
sworn in on the thirteenty. Mr.. Shaw,
however, would not listen to the sug-
gestion and he was fully justified in his
determination to stand by the thir-
teenth when an examination of the
state records developed the fact that
Governor Samuel j. Kirkwood, who al
5, was inaugur~ted on the the thir-
teenth day of the first month of the
year, vent from the gubernatorial
chair to the Unitei States senate and
later became a member of the.cabinet.
Hence this unlucky day in popular es-

for Iowa chief executives. The city is

CLEVELAND, o., January 13.-In
the dead of night Mayor McKisson ar
rived from Columbus where he made
his fight for the United States senator

received no C ngratulatory telegrs N
from Senator Foraker.
WASHINGTON. Iannerv 13.-Now
that Senator iIAnaa finds himself cleo
ted for the short and lopg term, it is
understood the president will begin to
deal out literally the fl deral patronage
in Ohio. Just what shares are for
Foraker remains to be seen. Usually
the two republi can senators share half
and halt in these fayors, but many
Ohio people here have the idea that
unless the president is trying to evade
fight, be will not take the advice of
excitable ones and cut Mr.. Foraker off
with small allowance.
E o. Eshelby, city treasurer of
Cincinnati. was the head and front of
the snt;-Cox movement there. He
brushed aside the United States sena-
torship, which was his for the asking.
The four fusion republicans from Gin
cinnati wanted to vote for him and
KurtZ offered the senatorship to Eshel-
ny. The democrats agreed to vote for
Eshelby. Eshelby refused the tempt
ing offer and worked for Hanna, and
the four Cincinnati republicans follow
ed him. After the fight Hanna rus he'd
up to Eshelby in the Neil house, and
throwing his arms bout him, exclaim-
ed: "God bless you Ed. want to press
you close to my heart" ="

A Rat Sayed His Life,

A young son of Mr.. Daniel Bonie,
of Bulloch County, Georgia, had a
thrilling experience with large rat
tlesnake few days ago. He had gone
into his fathers barn at night for some
fodder. He was accompanied by one
of the farm hands. Young Bonie re-
ceived blow in the face, and, sup
posing his friend had tried to frighten
him, asked that his friend desist, as
he, Bonio, had already been hurt by
blow in the face. About that time he
felt another blow on the fodder he
held in his hand, and at the same time
heard the singing of the snakes rat
ties. He left the house, procured o
light and returned to find monster
rattlesnake, which was at once dis
patched. The snake had eighteen rat
Ties and button. Had it not been
for o large rat, which was about half
swallowed, young Bonie no doubt
would have been bitten and killed.
