ANNUAL MEETING
OF the Woman's Musical Club Held
Las, Ev ming The Old Officers Re-
Elec ed, WI hout an Excep ion---
Large Attendance.

Inc annual meeting of the sToman'S
musical Club, for the election OF Off
GERS and the transaction of otner bust
ness, was held last evening at the mu-
sic rooms of Milligan, Wilkin & Co.,
and the session was largely attended
by the active members of the organiza-
ton, notwithstanding the oppressive
ness of the weather.
The election resulted in the choice
OF the old officers, without an excep-
ton, and this result is not only de-
served tribute to worth and intelligent
effort, but is an assurance that the
fifth season of the Club, to be inaug-
uraed the first Saturday in October,
will be even an advance upon the sue
cess of the past four years.
In the reelection of Mrs George B.
Caldwell as President, the Club has the
advantage of a wise direction in its
general affairs and the benefits of wide
experience and indefatigable effort
Miss Annie Sage, as Vice President, is
fitting companion to the presiding
officer. Miss Dee Pollack, reelected
secretary unanimously, will continue to
watch the manifold duties of her Office
with the same painstaking care as
heretofore, and her continuation in the
position is renewed assurance of care
full attention and consequent coming
success for the organization. Much
credit is due her in the past. Miss
Teresa Phillips was again chosen as
Treasurer, and Mrs Flora Williams, as
a matter of course, as chorus director
Her work in the past has been all that
could be desired, and she has well
earned the right to permanent oocu-
pancy Of this responsible office. The
Programme Committee is the same as
before.
The Club is to be congratulated upon
the triumphant close of it's fourth sea-
son, and will have the best wishes Of
the public for the fifth, yet to come. 1t
closes it's fourth year with success, both
musically and financially. and has a
bright future. The capacity Of its Off
GERS will be ably seconded by the effort
and talent of the membership.

Senatorial Convention Over the River

Senatorial Convention Over the River
Called For steubenvine, june ii.
The Belmont county friends of Hon.
J. J. Lentz. of Columbus, regret the
turn affairs have taken since the nom
ination of Judge Nash for Governor
by the Republican convention at Col
umbus. They are hopeful, however,
that Lentz may yet be prevailed upon
to accept the gubernatiorial nominal
ton, although there appears to be con-
siderable doubt upon that point. 1t is
a peculiar coincidence that the leading
men, both Republican and Democratic,
spoken of to head their respective
tickets this year are law partners at
Columbus, and fast personal friends,
and Mr.. LentZ's fine conception of
friendship may deter him from enter
ing the race There are many, how
ever, who think he should cast aside
such comparatively trivial sentiment in
the interest of his party, and are US
ing every argument to prevail upon
him to do so.
Yesterday Committeeman Samuel
Westwood of Martins Ferry, received
notice from Chairman McCleary, of
Steubenville, that the senatorial
convention for the Twenty first
Ohio district will be held in the Jeffer-
son county town on Wednesday, June
14th. The district is composed of the
counties of Belmont, Harrison, Jeffer-
son and Columbiana. Belmont county
has one candidate for the nomination
in the person of Frank B. Archer, and
as he has his own delegation solid and
ity of fha daIa IN, IJoy
and Jefferson, his ascendency is pretty
tvs delegation is divided between two
candidates, and the influence of the
county in the convention is conse-
quently weakened.
The Belmont county Republican con-
vention will be held at Bellaire Thurs
day, and representative, probate
judge, treasurer, commissioner, coron-
er, infirmary director and prosecuting
attorney are to be nominated. AS the
candidates for all the first six offices
are second termers, interest naturally
revolveS about the selection of a can
didate for prosecuting attorney. For
this Office there are four aspirants:
Hunter Armstrong. of Bellaire; Theo
Ayers, of st. Clairsyille, and II. G.
Pratt and j. c. Cochran, both of Mar
tins Ferry In the contest for dele
gates Saturday. Cochran won a ma
iority in his home town. and for this
reason Mr.. Pratt may not come before
the convention. although he has uqite
a following out through the county. If
he decides to withdraw from the race it
is surmised his following will go to
Armstrong. Armstrong; friends
claim 40 votes to start on and since
only so are required to nominate, he is
thought to have the best show of the
uuartette. The aggregate of his opDo-
sition. however. is sufficient TO defeat
him should combination be arranged

terday morning the eastbound passenger
train on the Great Northern railway was
wrecked on an alkah fiat eight miles west
OF Wilson creek and l0S miles west of
Spokane. The cause of the accident was
the spreading OF the rails, caused by the
accumulation of small pond OF melted
snow, which softened the roadbed and
permitted a sag in the track. The engine,
the mail ear and the baggage ear were
burned. Three members of the train
crew were hurt, but not fatally, while
half dozen of the passengers were Sc
verely shaken up.

WORLDS sTRANeesr BRIDGE,
II 10 Built of Vines Over the ONO.
River in Abyssinia.

ANCA ia ~AoyHSthAtas
Many and strange were the things
seen by the French expedition of Bon
valot de Bonchamps in Africa, but
nothing stranger than the bridge OF
vines over the ONO River, in Abyssinia,
which is pictured in "L'Illustration'
from photograph taken by a member
of the party. In most parts of Africa
bridges are undreamed of; big rivers
are crossed by RATS and little ones
forded. But in the mountains of Abys-
sinia the torrents that pour down to
join the Nile are not so lightly stem
med Over one of these the Abyssini-
ans, who have something like a settled
country and stable government, have
thrown the bridge. Unlike the Brooklyn
bridge or the suspension bridge at Nj
agara, these Abyssinian engineers had
no cables, no scientific bands of steel.
Instead they had only natures force.
But ingenuity succeeded in the absence.
of other resource.
1t is built upon the suspension plan,
hung from big cables made of twisted
creepers; from these depend the up
rights bearing the floor supports. The
roadway is very narrow, for no one
ever travels across the hills except
with caravans of porters bearing trade
gods. The skill with which the bridge
is built is something marvellous. The.
Bonvalot de Bonchamps party set out
from Diibouti, on the Red Sea- and
travelled across the Somali desert and
the Abyssinian hills to join Marchand
at Fashoda, which he reached from
the west coast. Thus they planned to
throw strip of French soil right
across the dark continent 1t reached

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
