Relative to the Attack on Him by
Dobson's Paper.

"As rule" said City Clerk Isbell,
Friday morning, II give very little
thought to the fnlsitications the Dob
son paper takes delight in printing
against me. In fact, | rather enjoy
watching the ludicrous spasms into
which 1t occasionally works itself,
but Its insinuation published in a
news column Thursday, concerning
the issuing of my annual report was
as incorrect as 1t was stupid
The statement to which Clerk Isbell
objects, follows: "City Clerk Isbell's
annual report, which, according to
law, should have been presented to
the Council and City Commissioners
on or before the first Monday in April.
has just been completed and is now be-
ing distributed among the city Off
Gals"
my report" said Clerk Isbell, ''was
published earlier by 20 days than was
that of ex-Clerk Frank Wilson two
years ago. The issuing of the annual
report was not delayed by any neglect
of duty on my part. All or my reports
were completed in proper time. The
fiscal year does not end until March 10,
and material for 322 printed pages had
to be prepared. Time was needed TO
close up all the books and make bal
ances. The reports of the City Civil
Engineer, the City Solicitor, and the
Board of City Commissioners could not
be secured on regular time. Especial
ly was there a delay caused by the
Board, which delayed the presentation
Of its report two weeks, in ORDER to
get picture of thD automobile patrol
in form for printing In the book.
II always feel charitable to fair
criticism, but when 1t comes to VI
cious attacks and Misrepresentation,
that puts the matter in an entirely diff
ferent light"

Columbus, April 27.-Hon. M. d.

labor commissioner, assumed charge
of the Office on Thursday. His prede-
cessor, Hon. J. p. Jones, returned to
his home at North Lawrence. Stark
county, during the day.
Mr.. Ratchford expects TO make no
change in the Office force at present
and 1t Is not improbable that H. ".
Speelman will be retained as chief
clerk. Before Mr.. Jones took his
leave he was presented with hand
some office desk by II. V. Spell
man, Miss AIannah Jones,
Miss Edith Williams and Miss Luln
Hit, who have been associated with
him during his official life. Poor
Buddy" was SO overcome that ,he ac-
tually couldn't make speech.

An American Reporter.

They have a reporter on one of the
Williamsburg papers, who may not be
much on style, but for placid, nervy
get there" he is q jewel. A little
while ago he was assigned to a politi-
cal meeting and asked to give good
report of it. Now, 1t happened that
the festivities were conducted entire
ly in Polish, language of which the
young man knew nothing. This, how
ever, did not feaze him a bit. He
made his way through the hall, push
ed up to the platform and sat down
with the secretary For several min
utes he industriously took notes, and
presently the secretary turning to
him, pumped out volley of Polish.
II am not In it, dear boy" retorted
the young man as he turned again to
listen to the speaker.
The secretary looked surprised.
Finally ne went out and brought in
a man who asked in English:
Are you a Polish reporter"
Nope" was the reply I'm an
American one"
do you understand our language"
Ia never heard 1t before" retorted
the scribbler, but think have pick
ed up enough since have been here
to give a rafting good story"
And he did.--New York Press.

OFFICERS STORY.
Pictures Vividly the Horrors Of Talana
Hill

Lieutenant X. G. Stirling. First
Kings Royal Rifles, has sent some in.
tcrcsting particulars of the Talana
Hill engagement:
"When we got the order to advance
my heart was rather in my mouth, rs
| knew then we We're under fire, and
in minute or two | might be corpse
or rather cold However, up ! had to
get and give my men lead. They all
behaved splcndidly. Bullets came
whiZZing past rather unpleaSantly.
was dying to run to get to the wood.
However, | got 80 excited | forgot CIV.
erything. Half way across the open
was fence and getting over there
some poor fellows We're shot. At last
we got to the fence. Several Dublins
had been wounded. They then moved,
while we took rest.
bullets here kept coming sideways
from the second hill. Then we moved
again and came right through the
wood. In the wood there were plenty
of bitches, and at the end of the wood
there was wall. We lay there to get
breath. Poor Humbro was shot
through the jaw, but would take no
notice. Then came the bad part. There
was bramble edge on the top of the
wall, so one could not go over but
there was a gateway, and through
this we all had to CO. and it was
hot time; but there We're some beauti-
full rocks about 80 yards off, so not
much damage was done.
when we got under the walls some
heavy firing took place, lasting nearly
two hours. l had several shots with
the mems rifles. Then we crossed the
road to take the hill; that was the
worst place. Nugent, who went over
with me was shot in the leg. When l
got half way up the hill l found my.
self next to Hambro who had been
wounded twice: we lay down under
the rocks, as the firing was very
heavy. We saw lots of men shot as
they crossed the wall. Hambro and
had to retire.
81 had my helmet knocked off with
a piece of rock and the shell hit
When I went up the hill a second
time, Hambro was lying almost dead,
with his legs reduced to pulp. Too
terrible suppose shell must have
hit him from behind. We must have
been there for an hour bullets whiz-
zing over us. Colonel Sherston was
dying: his groans were awful."-Cin-
cinnati Enquirer.

Her Experience Under Fire.

One of the ladies who went out to
see the fighting at Ladysmith has des-
cribed that experience in lively let
ter. A shell landed not many hundred
yards away, and she ran to get piece
of it,

me; | can warn you in time to clear

booming and shricliing came-and |

chung to barbed-wire fence, and
whispered: Good God! 1t exploded
about 20 feet away; perhaps not so
much; the earth shook under me, and
my legs felt hot all over"

HOW HE STRUCK OIL.
Made a Reckless Loan When In a
Happy State.

1t Is not often that n man has
wealth thrust upon him without his
knowing it, but such is the case OF IL
doctor in Ohio. II. q. Watson. one of
the leading oil well contractors in tie
Pennsylvania fields, was telling of the
man in the Palmer house.
"a new oil field had been discovered
in one of the southeastern counties Of
the Buckeye state. and it WAS there
the doctor added 100000 to his bank
account. Big wells had been drilled i'll
about ten miles from where the doctor
lived but the oil belt was thought TO
lead in another direction from the
lucky physician. However, one man
had faith but not the money to drill
" 'ldcat' we'll. He made all sorts of
offcls, but no one would back him. AT
ter ii months work he managed to
borrow enough money to secure the
tools, engines covering, etc, but he
needed 500 to put up the derrick.
HE went to this doctor and told
him his story. The doctor has plenty
of money and this day it happened
that he had been partaking Of spirits
to n considerable degree. He gay" Il
check for 500 to his visitor and then
and there forgot the transaction.
"The we'll was drilled and it came
in with mighty rush of oil. The
town where the doctor lived went
wild for joy and every one was ell
mad.
"One day the doctor received a no
tice that a meeting of the Stockhold-
crs of the new well would he held and
plans for drilling new wells discussed.
He was puzzled at the notice and ut
last sent it back, writing a letter, stat
ing it must be an error. The secretary
of the company. who lives in Pitts
burg, called on the doctor and they
had talk. Not until the check was
brought forth from the bank would
the honest physician believe he was
really one of the largest stockholders.
He had not the slightest remembrance
of ever talking to the oil man and now
he is one of the happcst men in the
country. The first well is yielding sew
eral hundred barrels Of oil Il day and
new ones are coming in each week.
If the field holds ont the doctor will be
n millionaire and all because he gave
his check when he was in Il reckless
humor "-Chicago News.
