ever heard of to lure the family COW
up the front hall stairs and tie the
faithful animal in the spare bedroom.
Then he told his wife that her mother
had arrived and gone up to her room.
Mrs. Trumbull burst into the spare
bedroom with glad cry of "mother"
and kissed the COW three times before
she discovered that she had been de-
oeived and hooked in the eye. At one
time when mother-in-law really did
come for nice long visit, John had a
carpenter fix the stairs so that they
folded up like shutter and the first
trip that mother-in-law made down
them resulted in her breaking two
ribs. Mrs. Trumbull thinks that John
is too funny for any use.

Mrs. Myra Trumbull, of Jamestown,

from her husband, John Il. Trumbull,
on the grounds that John was a prac-

John never firted with chorus girls,
or staid out late at night, or drank
until friends carried him home, or
chased her with a stove poker. John
was always good and faithful help

funny to put cold clammy frogs in his

John was so playful that he thought
it real good fun when he put bucket
half full of water over the door when
his wife expected company, and he

correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune describes
the adventure as follows:
At noon, when the party
had reached a point 300
yards below the crater
rock, a blizzard swept over
the peak. Exhausted by
the climb and overcome
by the intense cold Miss
Rawson became uncon-
scious.
Calls were sent for as
sistance from those who
had already reached the
summit, and the men
rushed down and carried
Miss Rawson and her
companion, Miss Julia
Hall, who was still able to
walk, to more sheltered
spot, where an effort was
made to revive the uncon-
scious girl.
Finally the great snow
field below the crater was
reached. BY this time the
men had begun to fear
that Miss Rawson would
never survive the journey,
and the need of getting
her to shelter and warmth
became every minute more
imperative.

perS' will respond to the electric touch.
Up to this time the Democratic party
may have its short comngs but it
has not reached that stage where one
man or half a dozen men can say six
months in advance what the inspired
creed of 1901 shall be, or who will
be its candidate.
Il think the issues which We advo-
Gated and OH which I was exiled from
the Republican party are as potent to-
day as they ever were then, and will
be very prominent this fall and in fu-
ture campaigns in Ohio and other
States.
Il look to see the Hamilton county
legislative delegation on the Demo
cratic ticket elected this fall on a
platform, pledging themselves to re-
woke the fifty year franchise and to
give to the people three cent fare,

getting and We're offered in Columbus.
This on $2,OO0,000 of gross receipts
would be about $S00,000 reduction an
nually for the difference between five
cent fare and three cent fare is 40 per
cent, so you can see at a glance the
enormous tribute that the citizens and
taxpayers of Hamilton county are
paying to this street railway syndi-
cate and now that it has passed into
the hands of foreign capitalists at
least so far as the management is
concerned, their influence locally will
not be as powerful as it once was.
"The experiments in the ownership
of electric lights and water works by
municipalities has demonstrated the
feasibility of the municipal ownership
of some of the public utilities, and
then add to that some of the outrages
that have been perpetrated upon the
citizens of Cincinnati Cleveland and
Columbus, by putting through five cent
fare franchises, it will cause the peo-
pie to rise in their might and retaliate.
For myself, l am getting sick and
tired of seeing Ohios resources drain
ed to build up the great terminals,
whose capitalists levy tribute upon all
our citizens through this gross abuse
of public franchises, and it is time
that the people asserted themselves
in this behalf and l look for it to be
done in this falls campaign"

Plans to Settle Dispute
Over North Hill School.

When President Slabaugh of the
Board Of Education neglected to be-
stow upon Col. Gibbons the honor of
being chairman of committee, he ap-
parently underestimated the ability
of that gentleman to dig out and land
on top, under any and all circum-
stances.
His own resources, augmented by
favorable conditions, have landed for
the colonel the speakership and guiding
voice Of the schools and discipline com
mittee, and he so announced last night.
Mr. Kingsbury, chairman of that com
mittee, will be absent from this city
a greater part of the time during the
next few months, "and," said Col. Glib
bons, she has asked me to act in his
place,"-and the Colonel will act.
He suggested that something should
be done at once toward arriving at a
settlement Of the dispute between the
Akron and Portage township school au-
thorities concerning the North Hill
school. He said he did not believe
the case would be reached in court be-
fore September. 81 talked with Mr..

The fine old brick mansion was built
at a time when both labor and mater

Especial Correspondence
Columbus, April 24.-Hon. Frank S.
Monnett, in an interview today, re-
moved all doubt as TO his candidacy
for the Democratic nomination for
the office of Attorney General. He
will be a candidate, he expects to be
nominated and he thinks the Demo
Gratis will win in Ohio this fall.
Mr.. Monnett, who left the Republi-
can party on the trust issue, believes
that the results in the recent elections
in Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo,
give promise of Democratic victory
in the State this fall. 1t is his opin-
ion that the campaign will be fought
on the same issues, which won the
municipal elections. In the course of
long interview today, he said:
81 have no authority to speak for
the Democratic party regarding it's is
sues. In fact, no individual or set of
individuals. can do so for the Demo
cratic party in advance Of its conven-
tion. The work of formulating the
issues is always left to the delegates
composing the convention through the
selection of their platform committee
With the asepubiicans it is different.
They get together in back room of
some hotel in Washington or at the
Waldorf-Astoria in New York, reel off
a Republican platform, nominate a
whole ticket, rewarding their friends
and furnishing their enemies as they
desire. The Republican party is the
party of trusts and combines, and
ever since Judge Minshall voted to
fine the Standard Oil company for
contempt he has been a marked man.
The general understanding is that
Judge w. B. Crew Is to be nominated
for Minshall's place on the Supreme
Court bench, and Judge Minshall's s
former friends among these Republican
party leaders appear to have aban-
doned his candidacy and deserted him.
This little knot of Republican bosses
with the pipe line into the trust treas
ury has named the whole roster of
Republican candidates, and when the
convention meets in June, the whole
rank and file like lot of bell hop

vorable to the township would be car
ried to the Circuit Court. Solicitor
Esgate, attorney for this city, is also
confident Of winning in the suit, but
the question must be settled soon,
as our lease of the building expires
in June. 1t should be adjusted before
the new term begins, as teachers for
that school have been hired"
Col. Gibbons also said he had talked
with Mr.. Mcdonald of the Portage
township board, and that he had sug.
gested terms whereby the controversy
could be ended. He said if Akron
would agree to take care of the Por-
tage township Boxwell graduates by
permitting them to attend the High
school free of charge, all claims on the
North Hill school would be abandoned.
President Slabaugh said he believed
the dispute could be ended by permit
ting all children of the township, out
side the new school district created
when the territory was annexed, to
attend the North Hill school.
Mr.. Otis and President Slabaugh be-
lieve the case will be decided in court
within short time, and no action
was taken with reference to Col. Glib
bons' report.
