HASKELL SCHEME.
Another Road to Connect Columbus
and Chicago.

Lima Gazette.
Railroad men are inclined to think
Haskell's latest acquisition the Colum-
bus and ST. Mary's branch of the D. &
L. N. is the nucleus of another system.
The acquiring of the property is looked
upon as significant by those posted and
they are inclined to think it means an
other road from Columbus to Chicago.
The road purchased is "a miles in length.
extending from Peoria, o., near Colum-
bus, to ST. Marys. This road can be
utilized for several purposes. 1t is now
used by the D. & L. N. to get into
Columbus and the rentals to Mr.. Has
kell will be large. 1t can be used in
connection with any other line to good
advantage and will thus cheaper the
expense of maintenance.
Railroad men in position to make
pretty accurate surmises expect Mr..
Haskell to project scheme to connect
Ohio's capitol with Chicago. They say
that the road can be constructed from
Peoria, O., to Chicago, which would be
a winner, as the direct route from St.
Marys west will place the line in con-
nection with some of the best towns in
Indiana and Illinois. The Pennsylvania
is the only road that would be com
petitor and the route could be surveyed
which would keep a safe distance from
that road and still traverse rich sec
tion and touch important stations.

THE REPUBLICAN
CAMPAIGN.
Opened by Nash and Roosevelt
At Akron,
A Big Meeting for An off Year.

The Republican campaign was
opened at Akron, Saturday, with Judge
Nash and Teddy Roosevelt as speakers.
The crowd was large, for this
campaign, it being estimated that 10000
people were present.
Both speakers were heartily greeted
and applanded, as they lambasted the
Democratic party for its many sins of
omission and commission. The speeches
were both good, but as they had been
written out, neither had the fire and
snap of a quick-firing gun.
Both took strong positions on the
Trust question. ''We shall do all in
our power to destroy anything that
upholds monopoly" said Roosevelt.
Nash said both parties had declared
against Trusts, but claimed that ex-
perience proved that the Republican
party could be better trusted than the
Democratic party to carry out its
promises.
On the question of Expansion, )
Roosevelt declared it was the only
thing for us to accept under the cir
cumnstances, but qualified his state
ment by saying:
"The Filipinos offer excellen
material for the future; with our ait
they may be brought up to the level o
|self-government, but at present the,
cannot stand alone for any length o
time"
On the Filipino question, Judg
Nash's position is summarized in thes
paragraphs:
Even those who believe that it is
wise policy to retain possession of tn
islands which have come to us as
part of the victory which we won owe
Spain, do not wish to establish a
empire in them, or anything akin to al
empire. All they desire is to carry t
, their inhabitants the same enlighter
ment and the same civilization whic
we enjoy. When they are prepare
for it, it is proposed, when Congress
shall act, to give them governmer
free in character, and guaranteeing
them the sacred rights which W
cherish. 1t is time for Congress t
decide what course to take when peac
and order have been restored and a
7 have acknowledged the sovereignt
, of the United States.
/ have opinions as to what Congress
should do, but they are of no nor
Importance than those of any othe
citizen, and 1 refrain at this time frol
OBTAINING you with them.

Where people flock, from far and near

Bring canned fruit and jellies bright
Bring butter bread and biscuits light,
And enjoy a grand vacation.

And vegetables of every kind,
Bring horses, cattle, sheep and swine
But kind o sorter fatten 'em.
Bring poulty, rabbits squirrels and mic
And if the Judges act fairly wise
You'll surely carry off prize
That is you'll get premium.

EASE AND DISEASE
A Short Lesson on the Meaning of a
Familiar Word

Disease is the opposite of ease. Webster de-
fines disease as "lack of ease, uneasiness,
trouble, vexation, disquiet.' 1t is a condition
due to some arrangement of the physical or
ganism. A vast majority of the disease"
from which people suffer is due to impure
blood. Disease of this kind is cured by Hoods
Sarsaparilla which purifes, enriches and
vitalizes the blood. Hoods Sarsaparilla cures
scrofula, salt rheum, pimples and all erup-
tions. 1t tones the stomach and creates a
good appetite, and it gives vigor and vitality
| to the whole body. 1t reverses the condition
of things, giving health, comfort and ease
| in place of disease"
