MORE PLUMS.
Col. Dick Will Make the
Distribution
In Washington to Get Close to New
Secretary of War.

Col. Dick. chairman of the Repub-
lican state executive committee. left
for Washington Wednesday after
noon on business in the departments,
says a Columbus special. Col. Dick
will be absent the remainder of the
week, and it said that he will discuss
the appointment of census enumera-
tors while at the capital.
AS matter of fact, while the col
onel will recommend a number of
enumerators for appointment, he de-
sires to get in on the ground floor in
the matter of military appointments.
The announcement by Secretary
Root of the War department that he
proposes to increase the volunteer
force in the Philippines to $1,000 men
has set a lot of ambitious officers in
Ohio looking after jobs, and Colonel
Dick as chairman of the executive
committee and as IA possible candi-
date for United States Senator to
succeed Foraker, should the tide
turn that way, is desirous of having
this matter entirely at his command.
Military appointments are about
the most coveted plum the admins
tration has to distribute at this time.
and in many cases a captaincy goes
farther than an office paying twice
the salary in civil life. 1t is said
that Dick proposes to be exceedingly
liberal this year and that his visit
at this time when neither the presi-
dent or Mr.. Hanna is in Washington,
is for the purpose of familiarizing
himself with just what officers will
be needed in the new army so that
he may be able to apply Senator
Hanna's direct methods" as lie
goes along in his work.

NOTABLE MEMORIALS
STATUES WHICH ATTRACT ATTEN-
TON IN LINCOLN PARK, CHICAGO.
The Gsrman-AmericRns Propose to
Add to the Monumental Group
Memorial of the Great German Fo-
ct, Goethe.

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-With its cooling
breezes from the lake and its shady and
comfortable resting places visit to
Lincoln park on summer afternoon is
a delight. Perhaps its most attractive
place is Monument Circle" from
which good views can be had of the
principal statues which make this park
one Of the most famous in the country.
I doubt if there is any park in the
United States which contains SO many
statues of really high artistic class rs
Lincoln park.
Among those which attract especial
attention are the Lincoln monument
the Grant equestrian statue, statues of
Shakespeare, Schiller. Robert Cavalier,
De Ia Sale Benjamin Franklin, Hans
Christian Anderson and Beethoven.
There are number of ideal figures in
bronze and stone, among the most nota-
BILE being an equestrian statue of an
Indian messenger and entitled "The
Signal of Peace" and an Indian group
entitled 1.-The Alarm. The former is
the work of c. E. Dallan, a young
American artist, and is declared by
Augustus st Gaudens to be the most
artistic of all the statues which adorn
these grounds.
To the already extensive group of
memorials another will be added. 1t
will be a statue of the great German
poet Goethe, and will be erected by his
countrymen in this city and vicinity.
It is believed that considerable sum
for this purpose will be raised by the
coming Goethe celebration. The matter
is In the hands of the Schwaben verein,
and it is planned to make this statue
companion monument to the Schiller
statue now in Lincoln park, erected
some years ago by the same society.
The design for the statue to be select
ed will probably he the handsome life
size model submitted to the members of
the Schwaben verein by Professor Ed
ward Fuchs, a well known German
sculptor of Chicago. 1t presents Goethe
in standing pose, the face that of
middle age and clothed in the costume
of the period. The facial likeness is by
critics said to be perfect The figure is
to be life size, of bronze, resting on q
pedestal of granite The intention now
is to have this statue in time for un-
yelling erected ON Aug. %, 1900.
But to return to the Monument Cir
Gle" of the park. Unquestionably the
finest of all the memoriala is the colossal
figure in bronze of President Lincoln.
After having stood the test of critical
observation for dozen years it is to-

RADICAL CHANGE
Is Being Made In Appearance B.&C
Baggage Cars.

A radical change is being made in
the appearance of the baggage, mail
and express cars on the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad. The platforms and
hoods are being removed to increase
the element of safety and save weights
The favorite riding place of tramps
is also eliminated when the plat
forms are removed. General Man
ager Underwood has also issued an
order to remove the numbers from
locomotive tenders, so that in cases
of emergency, those of the same
style will be interchangeable.

The rooms are hushed. the lights are low.
sit and listen to the wind
That comes from out the distant hill
1t comes and croons in an undertone
OF alien regions vast and lone,
OF pleasures lost in a land unknown.
Then steals away, and all is still.
'Tis good to listen to the wind
When rooms are hushed and lights ars low.
When those we love have come and gone,
'Tis weary to be left behind
To miss sweet eyes where late they shone,
To look for what we may not find,
Long cherished forms that haunt the mind,
Soft voices that were once too kind;
To live and miss them one by one
Is weary work. Who'd stay behind
When those We love have come and gqps.

An Interesting Letter.

SAUGERTIEs, Ny, Nov. Z, 1894.
b. HI. BACON, Leroy, NY.
For over 40 years / have been a
sufferer from sick headaches. About
a year ago my attention was directed
to Bacon's Celery King. With but
little faith in it L however gave it
trial, and the result was gratifying
and surprising; my headache leav-
ing at once.
Since that time l have used it at
regular intervals and would not be
without it under any consideration.
My headaches used to always re-
turn every seventh day, but thanks
to Bacon's Celery King, have had
but one in the last eleven months.
You are at liberty to refer any one
to me for further particulars.
Hoping that what cured me will
help others, remain,
Yours truly,
