One of the most successful busi-

the Daily Chieftain was doing
more than any other one enter
prise in town to bring growth and
prosperity and that it ought to be
patronized by every citizen Of the
place regardless Of politics or per-
sonal prejudice. This came from
a man who has generally been op-
posed to the policy Of the paper

BFLIs WITH A HISTORY.
Career of the Famous Peal Of 81.
MIehael's In Charleston
south Carolina.

A peal Of bells that has had as ac-
renturous a career as any that hang in
old world towers is the famous peal Of
ST. 3nchaers. Charleston, S. C. Five
times have these bells crossed the sea,
once as a heap Of ruined metal. and two
armies have they had 10 encounter or
escape; yet to-day the nine bells arc Of
unusual purity and sweetness Of tone,
says Youths Companion.
Cast in England before the revolu-
ton. and brought over to st. Michael's,
they met with their first danger in That
war. That they might not be injured,
they were sent back TO England. After
the war was over the people of Charles
ton wanted them, and it became the
dury OF the first American minister 70
England to negotiate for them. He
was successful, and amidst triumphant
ovations they were escorted TO the
church.
All went wen with them tiil the civil
war Then the steeple ~ ST. Aiichaers
was made the target for the cannon Of
the besiegers. It was necessary to re-
move the bells to a safer place, and
they were sent 10 Columbia. When
Sherman's army took Columbia, the
sheds ia the yard Of the state house,
IN which she bells had been placed
were broken into and the bells smashed
into fragments. while the sheds were
set on fire.
They were not yet done for, however.
At the close of the war the pieces were
carefully gathered together and
shipped to Liverpool, together with ex-
tracts from the records of st. Michael's.
showing where the bells were cast and
the proportion Of metals forming the
component parts
Upon inquiry it was found that the
firm Of bell founders that had cast the
bells was still in existence, unchanged
in name, and consisting Of the descend
ants Of the original firm. The records
of the firm contained an account Of
the casting of the bells, and the proper
tions corresponded with those in the
St. Michaels records.
Under such favorable circumstances
ii was not hard to recast the bells. Then
for the fifth time they crossed the At
lantic and arrived safely in Charleston.

State Senator Frank W. Maynard, of
New Hampshire, has returned to his
home in Nashua from Louisville, KY,
where he attended the national con-
vention of the Merchant TaiIors' na-
tional exchange, says the Boston
Globe. He arrived in Kentucky just
after the shooting Of Mr.. Goebel and
witnessed the excitement which fol-
lowed. During his stay in Louisville
he was introduced to Col. Jack Chinn.
and he tells an amusing story Of their
meeting.

Maynard, .'by mutual friends. and /

shaking hands. for he turned TO me
a few minutes later and remarked:

RETURN Of GENERAL WHEELER
CLAIMED THAT his HEALTH
HAS BEEN UNDERMINED.
President Mckinley VIII Try to Per-
sEade Him to Withhold His Res
ignation of His Commission.

Washington. Jan. lit is said at the
war department that there is no special
significance in the fact that General
Wheeler has been relieved from further
military duty in the Philippines and or
deTed home. Although he made no com
plant. it is understood that active duty
in the field has undermined General
NAheeler's health and that il was dan
gerous for him to remain in the tropical
climate Of the Philippines much longer.
While il is not officially admitted that
General Wheeler has resigned his com
mission. it is stated positively that if he
has taken such stop the president will
suspend action until he has had an op-
portunity to confer with him on the sub
Ject with q view to dissuading him from
such a course. He is nearly G. years of
age, the statutory limit of active service
in the army, and but for that fact would
have been appointed a brigadier general
in the regular army.
The president is said to favor legislation
which viii authorize the appointment of
General Wheeler, General Lee and per
haps one or two other brigadier generals
on the retired list, in acknowledgment of
their faithful services to the country dur
ing and since the Spanish war.
It is said that is one of the reasons why
General Wheeler is summoned home at
this time. His orders. which were issued
several days ago, require him to come to
Washington by way Of san Francisco for
consultation with the secretary of war
