"Lucky" Wreck.

About four miles south of Logan
on the II. V. Ry., river division, last
Saturday morning, the south bound
ductor, met with q peculiar and
beam or some part of the trucks of
track, and twisting loose at both ends
1t left the other cars and engine sit-
ting peacefully upon the track, and
1t took a plOw down through an
ajoining cornfield, tearing through
fences and bitches, thoroughly de-
moralizing itself and everything in
Its path. Conductor Mcbride, the
Baggage Master and another gentle
man were in the illfated car, but
strange to relate neither were hurt,
other than a shaking up. The pass
engers In the coaches were not in
convenienced much by the sudden
stop, though the train was hitting
along at 80 miles an hour.
The wreck crew and DIR. Campbell
were sent for. and the first inform
alton brought back to Logan was
that the passenger train had gone
through a bridge into the river and
many killed. Our town was In q
frenzy of excitement for a half hour,
and many persons were getting out
vehicles to hurry to the scene of
misfortune, but all were soon quieted
by the return of DIR. Campbell, with
the correct information. The wreck
was certainly miraculous one and
the passengers and train men are
thanking their lucky stars that 1t
was no worse.

THE Democratic primal y contests
In Logan were won ON close mar
jins indicating that the contesta n ts
were all good strong fellows, with
lots OF friends, and it was not a
matter Of choice between them, but
matter Of either being excellent
men for the places. Our township
and municipal tickets ought to be,
and will be elected to man. We
have strong ticket, and new
ticket. No Democrat could have
any reason to other than vote his
ticket from top to bottom this
spring. We have the majority in
this township, and the thing for US
to do is to 60 to the polls and elect
our good men.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1899-03-16

WE PUBLISH at the head OF this
page the democratic tickets nom.
mated in the townships and cor
porations of Hooking that have SO
far been received by the board OF
election. The nominations are ex-
cellent men and will receive good
ly majorities on election day
Every democrat should consider
himself committee of one to see
that these good members OF our
party are elected.

WEHAD occasion to use a tele-
phone in i neighboring town not
long since, and could but compare
the system and promptness Of
operation of their service with that
of our own good town. We were
several minutes getting the at
tention of the central office, and
then when connections were made,
the communication was so indis.
tinct that we could scarcely carry
on the con versation. In Logan,we
are proud to say, IL is different.
We are positive we have the most
prompt and accommodating oper-
ators in our central Office that there
are In any town in Ohio. One can
scarcely get the receiver down af-
ter ringing, until our central oper-
tors are inquiring for the number
wanted. When we take into con-
sideration that connecting pins
must be placed and half dozen
may be asking at once, it is re-
markable indeed that the inquiry
is made so promptly. Our central
operators are also vigilent and ac-
commodating il successfully try
ing to accomplish connection
sought. After the person sought
is secured, it is indeed relief to
understand the conversation as II
standing side by side. The system
is as near perfect as can be had.
No loud bowling is necessary, but
the natural voice is as distinct as II
in each others presence. We are
proud of our telephone system in
Logan and proud Of our corps OF
operators. Superintendent Engle
is to be complimented on his con-
struction of so merited communi-
cation service in our town.

Among the Mines.

The most pleasant and profitable
trip we have taken for some time
was through the coal fields of East
ern Hooking. Our itinerary IN
ciuded Murray City, Jobs, Sand
Run, Carbon Hill and Longstreth.
The mines have teen running for
some time and the people are busy
and happy. The old mine at Muir
ray City is almost worked out and
parts Of it are falling in, but new
mine is being opened and will soon
be fitted out with improved ma
chinery and all work transferred
to that side. Jobs has been working
steadily full force but work will be
suspended for while on the new
side until the required amount of
coal is taken out of the old mine.
The new hoppers at Brashears are
now finished and the mine is work
ing there. At Sand Run only one
mine is working but this one is
keeping up work pretty steadily.
We received a large number of
subscribers and made many pleas
ant acquaiutances.
1t was our pleasant privilege to
60 through the mines at Murray
City and Sand Run the former be-
ing made interesting by the con.
dition of the mine. At Murray. on
Friday evening a slight unpleasant
ness occurred at one OF the jag fac
tories in which razors and knives
figured prominently but as far as
we could learn without much dam.
age to any one. The police were
prompt In action and quiet quickly
restored.
There was nothing to mar the
pleasure of the trip except the mud
and we hope to soon again visit
these interesting places. We wish
to extend our hearty thanks to
those who 80 kindly aided Us and
to the people generally for their
patronage and hospitality.

1T IS indeed amusing and yet
sad to see the faces of the Hammer
crowd Of the Republican party
since the election OF committee
men last Saturday. That was "the
blow that killed father" They
were swept from the earth, not
winning smell IN the county.
Chairman j. r.. Smith and DIR.
Campbell went down In the Water
loo. The Hooking Sentinel came
to their rescue at the last moment,
and lauded Chairman Smith TO the
skies as the whole thing, and called
his opponent, Willis Mcdonald, a
chronic, sore. d politician against
Mckinley. but 1t didn't go. The
republicans of the First Ward
seemed to prefer his sore toes.
Grosvenor's hands are now united,
and he can take some action as to
abused Offices, with the Hooking
committee behind him. DIR. Camp
bell and Jim Smith are elegant
gentleman and have lots of friends,
but 1t was not against them that
their party were voting. The voter
saw nightmare In the back
ground that would sour a sweet
potato. Won't you fellows never
take drop. You did we'll packing
the enormous load that you did.

They loved me once with love sincere,
And never did their love deceive me,
And often in my conflicts here,
They rallied quickly to relieve me.
/ heard them bid this world adue,
saw them on the rolling billow,
Their far off home appeared in view,
While yet they prest dieing pillow.
They bask in beams OF light and life,
They dwell beyond this mount OF glory,
They shine as jems In that bright world,
And shout to tell the pleasing story.
Oh how long to join their wing,
And range those flelds of blooming
flowers,
Come Holy washer come and bring,
A mourner TO your blissful bower
would speed with rapture on my way,
Nor would pause at Jordans River,
Withfsong dpter endless day,
And live with my loved friends forever.

The Observer, and What He Observed.

During the last few days the
Observer has been over great deal
of the county and found that the
otherwise fair appearance Of the
country is greatly marred by the
mud. Such beautiful days as we have
had the last few weeks makes the
heart Of the biker glad when he
looks at the sky and sad when he
looks at the road. The farmers can
not get to town, the doctor has hard
work getting to his patients and the
driver of the light buggy is afraid to
venture out on account of the depth
Of the mud holes. We observed a
cartoon a few days ago full Of food
for thought. 1t represented the farm
of thirty years ago in comparison
with the farm Of today. In the
former picture the men were reaping
wheat with the sycle, within call Of
the old log cabin. Outside the farm
yard gate team of horses were
struggling along drawing with diff
Guilty half loaded wagon over the
muddy road. In picture number
two there is splendid modern resi-
dence on the farm, the men reap
with a self binder but the roads are
as bad as ever. Here is lesson for
those who use the roads.
In passing through the mining
regions we were indeed gratif1ed to
hear the rumble of the machinery
and see the board turned "Work
Tomorrow" Hooking is a rich
county and will be so as long as we
continue to have the largest coal
mines in the world.
While passing down Market street
one afternoon we had the pleasure
of seeing the sun shine full through
the large east window of the new
Presbyterian Church. 1t is indeed a
beautiful and impressive sight when
the figure of the Savior is illumined
by the sun his most wonderful work

FRANK SMITH.


We regret indeed to chronicle the
death of one so young as Mr.. Frank
Smith, son Of Culver Smith of Logan.
He has for some time been at the
hospital IN Gallipolis for his health,
but seemed to become little Improv-
ed, and of late much worse until
death relieved him on Wednesday
of last week. His remains were
brought to his home here and in
tered in Oak Grove Cemetery, on
Friday, Rev. N. w. Good officiating.
He was born in Logan, and was l8
years old at his death. The good
family have the deep sympathy of
the entire community.

JOHN EBERBT.
The sad news comes to US of the
death of our young townsman John
Eberst on Sunday morning last. He
took sick about two weeks ago with
inflammation which could not be con-

was 20 years old, and leaves a wife
and three children. This is indeed
a sad death, and one mourned by a
host of his young men friends and
associates.

Those were boom days, however, and
the property could not now be sold for
that sum. Indeed, at one time property
like Nine. Rhea's estate is now possessed
of could not be sold at any price, and to all
appearances the great actress at that dark
period in Seattles history concluded the
Investment was money thrown away and

stage, Nine. Rhea had long before her
death in Marseilles, France last May, for

land in far-away Seattle, which had always
been managed for her by a local agent
TO the fact that the actress, after pur-
chasing the property, mortgaged it to the
Guarantee Loan and Trust Company for
81, 900, probably to secure a balance of
the purchase money, Is due the discovery
now that Nine. Rhea owned Seattle real
estate. The fact had long ago faded

were cognizant of the fact, but the watch
