The ruling Of the supreme court of
Illinois, affirming the finding Of the
circuit court OF Sangamon county in
the tax casca is one of more than
passing moment. In effect this ruling
awards a writ of mandamus against the
Illinois state board of equalization to
compel it to assess the capital stock.

It was supposed that this campaign
would not arouse much interest among
the voters of the state, but since the
opening held at Bucyrus by the DEM
ocrats there has been a quickening
of interest that is remarkable. The
speeches made in that city by Demo-
cratic leaders have stirred the people Of
Ohio as never before, and as the cam
paign wears on the interest in the
Democratic cause grows. The Demo-
Gratis present issues that command the
attention of the people of Ohio who are
to elect state and county officers this
fall. The issues are i've and of in
terest, and the manner in which the
Democrats are presenting them is win
ming support every day.

Just now the Republican newspapers
are busy trying to convince their read
ers that the tariff is in danger. They
are telling their readers that the para
mount issue of this campaign is the
tariff. This is done to draw the atten-
tion of the voters from the real issues
Of the campaign in Ohio, one of which
is taxation. AS long as memory runs
back it has been the same old story
The tariff has been in danger pretty
much every campaign for many years
1t has been in danger so many times
that one would suppose 1t to be proof
against danger by this time. The elec-
tion in Ohio this fall hasn't much to do
with the tariff, to be sure, but the Re-
publicans and their organs would have
the voters Of the state believe that the
tariff is the only thing to consider
When hard pushed in state campaign
the Republicans can be found getting
the tariff in out Of danger.

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.

Newark, O., Oct. 2s.--James I. Mar
latt, aged 25, of Cambridge, O., was
accidentally shot and killed by Ira @.
Worley Sunday Mariatt proposed that
they take q gun and go down the creek
after rabbits. Worley procured the
gun and pointing al Marlatt, said:
"Well. here she goes and pulled the
trigger. A big load OF No. 3 shot filed
Marlstt's back. He died In ten MIN
ntss. Morley did not know the gun
was loaded.

As the campaign wears on to close
the Republican papers are beginning
to berate Col. Kilbourne's record as an
employer of labor. IT, may be stated
here that the Democratic nominee for
governor has been an employer of labor
for many years, and has record as
such that he may well feel proud Of
That record will compare very favor
ably with the record of the Republi-
can nominee. Governor Nash, who is
the candidate of the Republicans, hav-
ing been nominated for a second terra
as governor, is lawyer. He is a man
who has been honored before with state
Office, at one time being the attorney
general. He has Jared very well at the
hands of the people of the state, but
what has he ever done in the way of
employing labor in any large indus
tries? The Republicans must be hard
up for campaign material when they
resort to attacks upon Col. Kilbourne's q
record as an employer. The working
men Of the state, and especially those
Of Columbus, know him and are will
ing to trust him to the extent OF their
united support.

HORSE A TRAIN JUMPER.

Upper Sandusky. o.. Oct. 28.-W. L.
DeClow, Of Kenton, o., who is here
disposing of some range horses, has an
animal that is up to more tricks than
the average young American. Sunday
the horses were in the Pennsylvania
stockyards, when a local freight was
shifting number of fat cars. The
noise Of the locomotive scared one OF
the horses and like q fash he leaped
over the cattle yard fence ON to a fiat
car. He then ran from one end of the
car to the other. All the while the car
was moving at rapid rate. Before he
was discovered by trainment the horse
had ridden three blocks and then Just
as easily jumped off.

Mrs. August Pfalzgraf, Of South
Byron, Wis, mother Of the young lady
whose portrait we here publish, wrote
In january, 1890, saying her daughter
had suffered for two years with irreg-
ular menstruation had headache all
the time, and pain In her side, feet
swelled, and was generally miserable.
She received an answer promptly with
advice, and under date Of March, 1899,
the mother writes again that Lydia q.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cured
her daughter Of all pains and irregu-
larity.
Nothing in the world equals Lydia q.
Pinkham's great medicine for regu-
lating woman's peculiar monthly
troubles.

Andrew Carnegie recently gave a
fine organ to church in Youngstown
and It is now announced that two
other churches in that city will get
organs from him. Some day when the
politicians over. there get through
scrapping they may GO to church and
hear the music.
Youngstown is pleased over the pros
pect of big brick plant which will
enable the town to produce something
beside iron and steel. The promoters
of the brick industry might get that
Salem mans invention by which brick
can be- made from Stag and thus utilize
some Of the waste product in the town.
Over at Fostoria the other night the
Republicans held meeting at which
Hon. Ralph d. Cole of Findlay and
Senator Warren G Harding of Marion
were the principal speakers. Both
discussed national and state issues
and both predicted that with the Re-
publican party continued in power
it would be but short time till it
would be no longer necessary to col
lect state taxes. II must be that they
have inside information that the Re-
publican party is going to make the
for eigner pay the tax even in Ohio.

fixed in memory, he was ready for

There appear upon the surface un-
mistakable indications that the Repub-
licans in Alliance, who are supposed to
walk in beaten paths and follow what
ever bears Republican banner, are
greatly worried over the situation in
the east end city. The Review, the
local organ of the party, devotes con-
siderable space to a discussion of the
situation which confronts the mana
gers of the campaign, and endeavors
to whip Republicans into line for the
county ticket. There are many Repub-
licans in Alliance who have grown
tired in doing the voting and party
work only to find themselves turned
down repeatedly.
Some years ago the tax laws of Ohio
were considered unjust by great
many people who held stocks in corpor-
ations, and to escape the operations of
the Ohio laws "a large number of peo-
pie gave up their Ohio citizenship A
number of Akron gentlemen were
among those who declared Illinois to
be their place of residence. Now
comes a decision by the supreme court
of that state which is sweeping and
far-reaching in character, holding that
capital stock and franchises of corpor-
ations must be taxed. It looks very
much as If the day Of the tax dodger
