THE New York Tribune having hyp-
ocritically expressed grave fears con-
corning the personal safety of Mr..
Bryan should he go to Kentucky to
advocate the election OF Mr.. Goebel
and the Democratic ticket, the Kansas
City Times hastens to allay that jour-
nails ill-founded apprehensions: .'But
Mr.. Bryan will go to Kentucky and
make two speeches a day for twenty
days, and every one of them will be in
the interest of Mr.. Goebels candidacy.
Nor will he be mobbed nor lynched
nor assassinated nor insulted. Per-
haps he would fare badly were he to
go into the counties where family
feuds are kept on tap and where the
laws of the land can not be enforced,
but he will not visit those counties. 1t
would be no use. They are solid for
the candidates of the Republican party
in any event. The feudists are of one
mind when 1t comes to voting. Every
mothers son of them is a Republican
and Republican with gun attach
meut, at that. Republican organs
need not worry about Mr. Bryan's per-
sonal safety while he is in Kentucky,
nor need the pious New York Tribune
trouble It's little soul over the proba-
bilfty that Mr.. Bryan may be made

THE Associated Press correspondent
at Manila, Mr.. Robert NJ. Collins, says
Gen. Otis told him, s'My instructions
are to let nothing go that can hurt the
Administration" This in explanation
of his excessive censoring and by way
of apology. From the PoSt-Dispatch
we learn that Mr.. Collins says that he
recently filed dispatch containing the
statement that the business men who
had appeared before the Schurman
commission ADVOCATED the retention of
the existing silver currency of the
Philippines. The censor expunged
the passage, saying: 81 ought not to
let that go. That would be lift for
Bryan. My instructions are shut off
everything that could hurt 'McKinley's
administration" Fellow-citizens, what
do you think of that? To our notion,
it is too contemplate for temperate
criticism. But it emphasizes the fact
that the military is politically SUBJ
servient to the powers that be; that
the officers are the creatures of the
man who governs, who in turn does
the bidding of his bosses-the Mark
Hannas. ct i'd omne genus. With an
army of one hundred thousand men
devoted to the partisan bidding of a
designing misfit in the Presidency,
Freedom would soon wing her hurried
flight to the wilderness, there to mourn
the departed glories of the past, ere
Mammon and Ambition had formed a

A Call For Aid.

To the Christian Public
While you are making presents, re-
member that the greatest blessing
shall come upon those that give them
from whom no recompense is expected.
We will be Obliged to discontinue our
services at our mission church on
Third street this winter unless enough
means can be raised TO put On a new
Roof. On account of the small female
membership, which is already strug
Cling to keep up their church dues in
the building lean, and after having
secured a subscription from nearly all,
finding the sum far from the amount
necessary we are compelled to make
an appeal to Christian public for as
slstance. We have growing Sunday
School and there is good being ac-
comphshed otherwise. With the pres
ent reign of wickedness in the city we
do not believe that you will allow any
good work to stop that lies in your
power to keep in progress. A donation
for this purpose will be Christmas
present that will do good both in time
and eternity.
The following sisters have been au-
thorized to solicit your aid: Miss Flor
ence Fletcher, Mrs. Susan Goudy and
Mrs. Addie Burton. Any contribution
handed to either of them or sent to the
pastor. ]. C. Turner, No. 511 Charles
street, will be thankfully received and
honestly appropriated, or If you desire
your contribution can be made in
homcck shingles. May the Heavenly
Father inspire each one who reads this
appeal to render assistance In this our
struggle. THE PASTOR.

ARCHITECTS
Employed By the County Commits
sioners for the WASHINGTON Coun-
ty Court House and Jail.

The meeting OF the County Commits
sfoners which had been continuously
in session for several days, closed Sat
urday morning and the announcement
was made that Samuel Hannaford &
Sons, of Cincinnati had been employed
as architects for the new Washington
County Court House.
During the meeting seven plans were
considered which had been presented
by The following firms: Samuel Ham
naford & Sons, Cincinnad; YoSt &
Packard, Columbus; Bates, Cleveland;
Rush & Bowman, GRAND Rapids, Mich. ;
Meade G. Garfield, Cleveland; McCarty
& Bulford, Columbus, and W. B.
O'Nelll G. CO., this city.
ALI these firms presented splendid
plalls fer three story structure. but
Ut seems that the malhter of choice fl
nally settled down Friday between the
plans subm.bted by Hannanord and
those by O'Neill. After careful ex-
animation of the drawings and a thor
ough discussion 'of their respective
merits, the Board finally decided TO
choose Hannaford as the architect
whose plans we're acceptable and who
will now prepare the specifications and
superintend the work of construction
of tho Washington county Court
House and Jail.
This decision wals finally reached
Saturday morning and the announce
mint was made public at once.
The general opinion of those who
have seen the drawings representing
the proposed new structure seems to
be rather favorable to the style of ar
chitecture and general appearance of
the building as it will be when COM
pleted The tower, which will be built
at the corner of the building facing
both Putnam and Second streets and
high enough to be seen from all parts
of the city, is a feature that Is highly
approved by everyone, especially by
those who favor the idea of big clock
in connection with the tower. The ar
rangement of the various rooms, Of
fees, etc, in the building-to-be seems
to meet with the approval OF the coun-
ty officials, ito whom the matter is of
great consequence, they being the peo-
pie who are probably most interested
in such arrangements.
The further preparation of plans
and specifications will be taken up at
once by the successful architects and
now that the Commissioners have de-
cided upon the selection of the plans,
they will be ready in the spring to
award the contract. 1t is ito be hoped
that another year will see the building
well under way

Boy Attacked By a Wolf.

A wolf which is ordinarily kept
chained at the back of Uhl's saloon,
corner of Second and Ohio streets,
caused quite sensation in that neigh
borhood Saturday forenoon about o
O'Clock. The boys are in the habit of
tormensing the animal until it becomes
furious, and Saturday morning, in its
rage, it broke loose from it's chain and
attacked boy named Charles Nc
Gruder The boy took to his heels,
closely followed by the wolf, which
kept up furious onslaught, tearing
the boys clothing and woundlng him
in several places. His hand was very
badly bitten.
AT the corner of Second and Greene
street the furious animal had almost
succeeded in getting the boy down,
when some men came to his assistance
and succeeded in beating the wolf
away The men were all bitten by the
angry wolf in their endeavors to assist
the boy.
The wolf was captured and taken
back to the saloon.
