KilbOurne of Ohio.

Col. James Kilbounre, the
nominee of the Ohio Democratic
convention for governor. is in
every way fitted to stand not
only upon the platform, but be-
fore the people as one of them.
He was a gallant union soldier,
and is a manufactures, who
neither Expresses his employees
nor lodges his taxes. There
has never been any trouble in
his factory. His worltmen were
we'll paid. When one of them
is sick he visits him. He treats
every employe as part of a
great business family, Panics
do not disturb wages in the
Kilbourne factory. Col. Kill,
bourne has proven during 20
years in his business that it is
possible to manufacture Ameri-
can goods without squeezing
the profits out of the life.blood
of labor. With such candid
ate. and with a platform which
must appeal to every voter moi
enslaved by the trusts or own

be little doubt of the result il

Theology and DrOuth.

Brookfeid Argus: The aw.
full wave which has passed over
the United States is believed
by theologians of the German
Evangelical church to be one
of the physical phenomena
which marks the closing cent
airy of the Christian dis.
pensation. These theologians
have long held that the
twentieth century is the one re-
ferred to in the biblical pro-
phecies, and since the begin
ming of the year 1901 have been
expecting such natura |
phenomena to become manifest.
They also believe that strange
histori c al and politi-
cal events will occur. The
prophecy in regard to the heat
wave which they cite is from
Revelations Xvi:S,0. which
say: And unto the fourth
angel poured out his vial upon
the sun: and power was given
unto him to scorch with fire.
And men were scorched with
great heat and blasphemed the
name of God, which hath pow
err over these plaques"

Reflections of a Bachelor.

A woman is ''sweetly reason
able" when she is redS onably
sweet.
A woman can never have
much mind and speak it, too.
Love your neighbor and do
good to them that tell your
wife what their husbands have
told them about you.
1t is one of the lronies of life
that Il woman never has enough
faith in her husband till she
has too much.
When Eve bit into the apple
she probably told the snake
that she was tired of forever
taking her husbands advice.
If Christ came to earth there
isn't any proof that he'd take
all of the religious reformers
into partnership.
The first two months man
would take the baby up in the
garnet and hide it if he thought
his wife or the nurse wouldn't
catch him at it.-New York

The Democratic convention
in Ohio last week nomina ted
State candidates and placed
them upon a Tom Johnson
platform. Taxation OF fran
chises was one of the leading
planks If adopted and enforc-
ed it would make the giant cor
porations of the State pay
their just share of taxation.
The fight will be between the
people and the allied cor
porations-and the latter will
win, if the power of wealth is
as potent as it has been in the
past. The silver question was
ignored by the convention. The
Appeal is glad of it. We are
still convinced that the free
coinage of silver would be a
good thing, but there is no
doubt but that the people are
overwhelmingly against it and
there is neither sense nor
politics in further agitation fol-
it under present conditions

full of nitrogen. The cowpea,

and fat.forming plant. The
yield of cowpers of course is
much better upon rich land
than on poor, but it pays to
raise them on poor land. You
can plant the cowpea'broadcast
or in drill, the amount of seed
varies from four quarts to two
bushels per acre, the average
being three pecks. The seed
should be covered about two
and a half inches, and care
should be taken to plant when
not too cold, as this plant is
adapted to warm climates. In
planting corn l plant rows

The cowpea will stand muct

Senatnr Vest on tic Dog.

All sorts Of attacks are bein e
made on the dog by those who
don't understand him. Please
print the following article from
the Nashville American, on the
other side of the question. a
DOG LOVER.
One of the most eloquent tri-
Duties ever paid TO the dog was
delivered by Senator Vest of
Missouri some years ago. He
was attending court in
country town, and while wait
ing for the trial of a case in
which he WIS interested was
urged by the attorneys in a dog
case to help them. Nolumin-
Gus evidence was introduced to
show that the defendant had
shot the dog in malice, while
other evidence went to show
that tie dog attacked the de-
PENDANT. Vest took no part in
the trial and was not disposed
to speak. The attorneys, how
ever. urged him to speak. Be
ing thus urged he arose, scan.
ned the face of each juryma n
for a moment and said:
Gentlemen of the jury: The
best friend a man has in the
world may turn against him
and become his enemy. His sou
or daughter that lie has reared
with loving care may prove un'

ness and our good name. may

may lose. 1t flies away from
