STEALING DEMOCRATIC THUNDER.

Chairman Dick, of the Ohio Republi-
can executive committee, in a recent
speech before the Presidential postmas-
ters' association of Ohio marked out
some startling departures from usual
Republican campaign issues and indi-
Gated what to expec. in the next Re-
publican State platform. Gen. Dick
said he favored government ownership
of all means of communication and that
he fully endorsed the postal savings
system.
Sooner or later" he said, "the tele-
graph and telephone lines of the coun-
try will be owned and operated by the
government. and it is proper they
should be, for if the government can
send message by wire for five cents
It has no right to permit private cor
poration to extort twenty-five cents for
the same service"
DICK betrayed no sign that this was
the first time he ever spoke on the
municipal ownership side of the cues
ton and the postmasters, recognizing
It as new slogan. applauded the SEN
timent vigorously. An important con-
ference OF the Ohio Republican leaders
vas held later. at which It was decided

BENJAMIN WILSON.

The death Of Col. Ben Wilson, al
though he had been in feeble health for
some time past, will be a shock to the
many warm friends and admirers of the
venerable lawyer, statesman and poll
tician throughout the State and be-
yond its. borders.
Col. Wilson was prominent in West
Virginia affairs from the birth of the
State almost until the time of his death
He was member of the constitutional
convention of Virginia in 1861 and in
1872 was a member of the constitu-
tional convention of West Virginia. He
served three terms in Congress with
marked ability and held many import
ant offices of trust and honor, filing
them all with signal ability and dig
nifty He was one of the ablest law
yers in the country and his last pub
lie office was that of Assistant United
States Attorney in the Department of
Justice, in which he had charge of the
French spoliation claims.
Since his retirement in 1889, he has
spent his days in private business in
the development of the coal and oil
lands of the State.
He was a genial, kindly and whole
souled man no less honored as a pri-
vate citizen than as public servant
and his loss will be widely mourned.

SHIP-WRECEED.
Humanity to. the Rescue.


If the news were flashed across the
continent that on some desolate, inhos-
pitable shore mother and child were
ship-wrecked, it would not be an hour
before relief expeditions were being
planned and organized. Though the
cost should be millions, though. the
voyage should be long and perilous,
though the woman cast-away were the
poorest of her sex, unstinted treasure
would be poured out and life cheerfully
risked to bring her back to home and
happiness.
Is in any worse for mother and babe
to perish of disease and hunger on a
desolate island than under a sheltering
roof in civilized lands How many

RELIEF IS READY.
More and more with every month Of

call for help in their weakness and sick
ness will be promptly answered by DIR.
r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y. OF the
average of five thousand letters re-
caived by DR.. Pierce each week in the
year a large number are from weak and
sick women who ask for relief from pain,

ton of life which disease has robbed

as the crew of life-boat respond to the

The Greisheim Disaster Was Fright
full, But the Stories Were Exag-
gerated.
FRANKFORT, April 26.-It now ap-
pears that the statement of the General
Anzeiger, of this city, that eighty bodies
had been recovered from the ruins of
the powder works at Griesheim was
greatly exaggerated. The fact is that
the number Of killed is much under the
early estimates, some now placing it
as low as twenty-five. Nothing defin-
lite, however, can yet be ascertained.
The effects of the first two explosions
are described as fearful. An immense
cloud of wreckage was thrown by the
former into the air, plunging the whole
district into darkness, which was fol-
lowed on the latter explosion by an otu-
break of flames in many quarters.
Scarcely house in Griesheim escaped
without shattered windows, Vile in
many cases walls and doors were burst
asunder.

Indictment Against Short and

NEW YORK, April 26.-Albert T.
Patrick, David L. Short and Morris
Meyer, under indictments for acts in
connection with the death of William
M. Rice, of Texas, were brought into
the court of general sessions to-day to
plead. Counsel for Patrick asked for
adjournment, as they had another case
on trial, and the arraignment went over
until Wednesday, May /.
The grand brought another in
dictment to-day against Meyer and
Short, charging each with perjury. This
charge is based on the testimony Meyer
and Short gave before Justice Jerome
when they said that they saw Rice sign
the will to which their names were
signed as witnesses.

UPS AND DOWNS OF THE BROWNS

Brown has cosy office
On the twenty-second floor
OF modern office building
With conveniences galore
Electric lights and mail chutes
And everything first-rate-
And an elevator starter
Who is strictly up to date.
Now, Mrs. Brown came in one day,
A smile upon her face;
Took elevator No.
And launched forth into space
Ills safe to say she'd hardly gone
Beyond the second floor,
When Mr.. Brown came sailing down
Serene in No. T.
Hey, Mr.. Brown the starter cried,
Your wife went up this minute"
A car was just about to start,
And Mr.. Brown jumped in it.
You'd better wait till she comes back!'
The starter tried to shout,
But up went Brown-a car came down.
And Mrs. Brown stepped OUT
The starter shook with hidden mirth
He didn't dare display;
''Yur husband, mum, went back" he said,
But crossed you on the way,
Just take a chair and rest a while,
He'll surely come right down"
She wouldn't listen: up she went
While down came Mr.. Brown.
He went back up-his wife came down.
And headed for the door. NJ
While Brown ransacked in wild despair
The twenty-second floor.
As out into the street she passed,
With proud, 1plifted chin
II hope they'll meet in heaven" said
The starter. with 4 grin.
