The Ashland Press tells some
very interesting stories at the
exense of Byron Price of the
Hudson Star and Times.
The Press says that Price was
induced to attend church one Sun
day short time ago. The
preacher told the story of the
destruction of Pharoah and his
hosts in the Red Sea. AS soon as
the story was done, Price grabbed
his hat, rushed out of the church
and down to his Office, and pre-
pared to get an extra edition of
his paper. to give the news. He
said he wanted to geta scoop" on
all other fellows. When told
that it was rather an old story, he
said that he understood the preach
er to say that it happened the day
before. 1t certainly, he said,
couldn't have happened very long
ago, for he had just heard Of it.

Subscription So per Year.

A great big reformer lives down
in Lebanon, Illinois, by the name
of Upton. He physically, is a
giant, has mission to perform in
regulation the lives of all in keep
ing with his very austere views.
The other day he discoverea that a
married man, and a married
woman of a neighboring town had
been leading impure lives. He at
once caused the arrest of the
offenders. The guilty man could
not put up $500 for bail. The
reformer, who is we'll to do, pro-
vided the bail. The local editor,
who is small man criticised the
reformer for providing bail for
the offenders. The reformer
resented the criticism, procured a
horsewhip and almost fayed the
editor alive. The guilty couple
took advantage of the reformer's
generosity and fled to parts I'M
known, allowing him to pay the
$500, while the editor took to his
bed, threatening the reformer
divers of trouble in the future.
The moral of all this is to be good,
and then there will be no need of
reformers.

The greatest objection probably,
which has been made to the estab-
lishment of the postal banks and
the receipt of DEPOSITS by the Gov
erment is as to the investment
which the Government must adopt
in order to pay q suitable interest
on the deposits. 1t is proposed to
pay interest at the rate of Q per
cent or d per cent, and many
people assume that the Cover
meht could not find proper invest
ment for the money deposited
which would enable it to pay that
rate of interest. Gen. Gary, on
the other hand, believes that there
will be no difficulty whatever in
investing the deposits in frst-chss
securities which would not only
pay the interest proposed, but at
the same time enable the Cover
ment to reduce it's expense in other
directions. The interest bearing
debt of the United States is now
about $685., 900, 900 and all of it
bears 81 per cent, or more. If the
depofits were invested in these Sc
curities, it is evident that the Gov
erment would save the difference
between the 2 and the d per cent,
and the 81 per cent, or at least
that portion of it not necessary in
paying the expense of the system.
The Postmaster General has
various other suggestions in regard
to investments.

ACCORDING to the Philadelphia
Times, there is not single state or
territory in the union where there
is not a trial for murder pending.
In many states the number of
murders awaiting hearings is very
large.
In the state of Kentucky there
are Al cases, con corning 81 prison
ers, for murder, awaiting trial.
In Virginia there are at least %
charges of murder. In the first
state only seven of the men in Jail

are negroes; Virginia has eight.
North Carolina, has 81 cases or
more, Georgia ~, Louisiana a

THE POLITICIAN.

1t is difficult torealize that the awful
story of the blowing up and sinking,
in Havana harbor, Of the U. S. battle
ship Maine, and the drowning like
rats in sewer of two hundred and
ffty-odd OF her braYe crew, which has
cast pail of gloom over Washington
and the country, is not a horrible
nightmare. But, alas! it is true, too
true. There is but one determination
on the part of the President and the
other members Of the administration,
and that is, to arrive at the truth as to
the cause of the catastrophe. Con-
gress is going ahead with its routine
business, the Senate is discussing the
annexation treaty and appropriation
bifls and the House the Bankruptcy
BILL but there is but one object upper
most in the minds of Senators and Rem
resentatives-the Maine. Public in
terest has passed from the apology of
Spain for the de LONE letter to the
Maine. Perhaps, if the treachery of
the late Spanish minister, now on his
way home in disgrace. had not been SO
fresh in .he minds of the public, there
would be less suspicion that there was
Spanish treachery connected with the
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1898-02-21

Dun's Review says: THE most sig
nificant fact is that in different
branches there are constant accounts
OF additional works starting, some
only after few months or years
rest, but others which have been idle
for several years, and one for twelve
years. With new machines or new own
ers old works are rapidly put in shape
to meet new demand. This appears
not only in textile works. where a few
are changing from cotton to silk or
linen, but even in iron and steel, not.
withstanding the present enormous
production and current low prices. In
the cotton workers strike no change ap-
pears, except that demands for further
legislation against mill owners are
made in legislatures"

FILTERED WATER.
A Subject of vital Importance TO Every
City in the Ohio Valley.

City in the Ohio Valley.
The authorities of Cincinnati will be-
gin today the experiment of filtering
Ohio River water to make it fit for
human consumption. A thorough and
complete test will be made. The sub
ject is one of vital Importance and a
satisfactory solution of the difficulties
of filtration will prove godsend to
the hundreds of thousands of families
in the Ohio Valley who are compelled
to use river water, The old theory
that river like the Ohio purifies itself
every few miles has been exploded and
the demand will soon be universal for
filtered water. ... ,,.,
The system installed at Cincinna Ii
consists of steel settling tanks, in
which the water is allowed to stand
one or more days before being turned
into the filters. In each tank there
will be six inches of foundation, con-
sisting of layers of stone, graduating
from bowlders two inches in diameter
to mortar sand. The system which is
TO be tried is known as the European
system. The test is to be complete.
The sand which is to be used is Of three
qualities-fne, medium and coarse
and was secured from the Dayton sand
bar. In three of the filters there will
be one foot each of the three different
grades of sand. In three filters there
will be five feet each of the different
grades of sand, and in the remaining
nine filters the three grades will be
proportionately distributed at a depth
of three inches. The water which is
to be used in the test will be taken di-
rect from the river, and will be dis
charged into six-inch pipe with four
branches, each of which will connect
with one of the steel settling basins.
The water will be allowed to subside
from one 20 four days, each tank being
used for one of these periods, and
holding days supply. From the set
tling tanks, the water which enters
them at the bottom will leave at uni
form elevations and be carried by
means of six.inch pipes to the Is filters
where it will lie distributed. After
completing its usefulness the water
will be discharged into the regular
main and he d stributed to the con-
sumers
