Dear Strive find you have been
advertising in our columns constantly

established.
You are the only business man who
was with us then and still remains
with us and since you have been ad-
vertislng in our columns continuously
for a period of more than ton years
we naturally have curiosity to know
how well you are satisfied with the

Respectfully yours,
THE SUBURBAN CITIZEN.

The Voice as RevcaIer of Character.


There is no greater reyealer Of char
acter than the human voice. 1t Is the
first thing that strikes us in a stranger
or in new acquaintance. If 1t has
that spontaneous ring of truth that
no training can impart we recognize
its appeal for confidence. Some voices
have the jar Of falsehood and are as
full Of warning as the hiss of ser-
pent. The unconscious natural voice
is to be regarded as the index Of char
acter. To speak promptly and posi-
lively is generally to act promptly and
positively; to speak politely Is to act
politely, and 20 speak grufiy and rude
ly is a good way to make rude action
easy.-Ladles' Home Journal

COAL LANDS SOLD.
Reported Purchase Of a Thous-
and Acres Near Meehan-
icstown.

East Liverpool, May 2S.-The sale
of 1000 acres of coal land was re.
ported in East Liverpool Monday as
having been made. The property is
located out Yellow creek near Mechan.
icstown, and the deal is said to have
been through j. H. Norris, of Pitts
burg. 1t was rumored the Sebring in
terests were identified with the sale.
Negotiations have been pending for
the sale of this property for several
weeks. The coal found in that terri.
tory is said to be of good quality, and
is about one mile from the c. & p.
road. A switch would have to be
built to the property before the coal
could be marketed. If the Sebrings
have acquired this land, it is likely the
coal obtained will be used at their
plants in Sebring.

PRISONERS Received.

Columbus, May 28.-Seeman Tisch
has been received at the penitentiary
from Stark county to serve one year
for interfering with railroad property.
When the Judge sentenced him he
claimed that he would rot in the peni-
tentiary before he would plead guilty
to crime when innocent. He served
a term about II years ago and it was
afterwards developed that they had
punished the wrong man. He was
charged with stealing about $40 worth
of copper and brass.
Edward Carr, of Summit county, will
serve three years for manslaughter.
Carr's father is also in the prison serv-
ing the same length of time for the
same crime. They killed a neighbor
during a quarrel about a line fence.
The father made a big fight in the
courts, and the sheriff estimates that
the county has been put to an expense
of about four thousand dollars in addi-
tion to the amount paid by the state
for the conviction Of these two men.
The father is almost demented about
his trouble, and sits about the prison
brooding.

for her to alight, but that just as she
was about to step from the car the

violently to the paved street. AS a
result of the fall her hip, side, shoulder
and head were injured, causing femoral
hernia in the left side of her body. She
alleges that she suffered great bodily
pain and was permanently injured by
the accident Her medical bill is placed
at $3.50 and damages in the sum of
$4,000 are asked.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIhS.
The Grand Lodge of Ohio In
Session at Spring
field.

Springfield, o., May 2S.--The grand
officers and Representatives began ar
irving yesterday and by night there
were about eight hundred people pres
ent already to attend the thirty-second
annual convention of the grand lodge
of Ohio knights of Pythias, which
opens this morning. The city put on
its gala attire. but the rain, in the af
ternoon and evening, has ruined the
bright flags and banners.
The officers of the Rathbone Sisters
and the Pythian Sisterhood are also
here, and their state meetings open to-
day.
The grand lodge will probably decide
to build an administration building to
cost S65,000, and assess the members
for the support of the aged, who will
be admitted to the home.

TWENTY.0NE
ARE DEAD
Explosion of Coal Dust
In a Mine.
NINE MEN BURNED
Four Escaped With Slight In
juries--Most Of Dead Were
Married Men and Had
Families.

Dayton, Tenn, May 2S.-At the
Richland mine of the Dayton Coal and
Iron company, about two miles from
Dayton, terrific explosion Of coal
dust resulted in the death Of 21 men,
all while, and most of them married
and with families.
The dead: Tom Wright, Dick Smith,
Will Matthews, Samuel Smith. Bailey
Smith, Tom Walker. George Holmes
]. F. Gothard, Terry Smith, Abe Goth
ard, Samuel Burwick. Jim Pickle
Wash Trasley, Oscar Rodgers, Lewis
G.. Rodgers, Lowry Hawkins, j. +.

Medley. VIII Rose.
The injured: William Burchene.
Sr., William Burchene, Jr., Bob
Walker, Rev. F. NJ. Cook, Rev. William
Hale. Bart Hale, Arthur Decker, Ed
Craig and j. T. Burwick.
The explosion was caused by what
is known among miners as blown
blast" 1t is the custom of the miners
to place blasts and fire them off at
quitting time each afternoon, leaving
the coal thus thrown down to be load
ed and hauled from the mine next
morning. The Richmond mine Is des-
titute Of water and great volumes OF
fine particles of coal dust, invisible
to the naked eye. accumulate. This
will explode If exposed to flames. A
dynamite cartridge was placed in po-
sition for a blast and the miners
started for the mouth of the mine.
The blast did not explode as expect.
ed, and instead long flame shot out
Of the blast hole and ignited the ac-
emulation Of dust. Instantly a ter
rife explosion occurred and seeth-
ing mass Of flames shot to the mouth
Of the mine and extended about 800
feet into the open air, scorching the
Leaves of nearby trees. Thirty-four
men were in the mine at the time
Four OF these escaped with slight in,
jury. Twenty-one were killed and
nine were fatally burned, most of
them fatally. The force of the ex
plosion caused great masses of coal
and slate to cave In from the root
OF the mine and many fated miners
were completely buried.
Word quickly reached Dayton and
rescue forces were at once organized
and proceeded to the mine. One by
one the blaokened and horribly dis
figured bodies were taken from the
debris and carried to the mouth OF
the mine, whence they were taken to
Dayton. Scores of relatives and
friends gathered at the mouth OF the
mine and the shrieks OF anguish as
tho bodies were removed were heart
reading. :"

cided dissent from the Judgment. To
my mind this act IL palpably unconsti-
tutional. because It violates section
2 Of article III Of that instrument.
which section ls as follows. The
general assembly shall not pass any
local or special law regulating the
affairs Of counties. cities, townships,
wards, boroughs or school districts,
incorporated cities, towns or villages,
or changing their charters--creating
Offices or prescribing the powers and
duties of officers in counties, cities,
boroughs, townships, election or
school districts.
Many authorities are quoted by
Justice Dean In support Of his conten-
tion that the act comes under the
head of special legislation. Continu-
ing, he said In part:
by our decision in the case be-
fore us we are going step beyond
anything heretofore allowed in the
line of special legislation. It is purely
a question Of law whether section Z
Of the constitution has been violated.
Yet we, In effect, say 1t Is the province
Of the legislature to decide the ques.
tion. and that we will not inquire
into it. This, on our part is a great
mistake. / would not encroach one
inch on the authority OF the legisla.
lures, but would not allow that 3ody,
nor the executive. to encroach one
inch on ours. We have now before
us an act which, 1t is true, does not
take one mans land and give it to an.
other, but 1t does take from one set
Of men the Offices given them by the
people, hands them over to the gov.
ernor, that he may confer them on
others. Here we should call halt
upon such unconstitutional usurpation
Of power.
What the next step in this direc.
ton will be we can only conjecture.
fractional politics and partisan poll.
tics are not troubled by scruples
under the principles of this decision
there is nothing to hinder hostile
partisan majority in the legislature
from ousting the party in power in
Philadelphia, a city of the first class
and placing its government in the
possession Of the minority power
The time is not very remote in the
past in English politics when the vic.
torious political party, as soon as 4
was seated In power promptly pro-
ceeded to cut off the physical heads
OF their leading antagonists and con
fiscate their property; it is not very
remote in the future when the vic.
torious party will promptly proceed
to cut off the political heads of its
opponents when they hold Office by
the municipal votes of the people.
II fear the time is not far distant
when the pernicous results Of our de
cision will either bring about that
constitutional amendment or remedy
the mischief or move us to overrule
1t.
Every member Of this court con
cedes that this legislation is vicious
Why? They do not answer. But, tc
my mind. it is apparent that its vice
consists in Its fragrant violation OF
the fundamental law. We know It's
purpose was to oust one set of Off

the people, and give their Offices tC
others through the chief executive O.
the state. This is the inevitable re
suit from the bill itself. Can we as
sumo that our lawmakers do not in
tend the obvious results of theil
acts?"

who died from the effects of a violent
paroNysm of hiccoughing at the peni-
tentiary Monday, will probably be ship

county, where the wife of the deceased
resides. Warden Darby notified Mrs
Baker Of her husbands death and re-
ceived a telegram from Louisville Mon.
day afternoon stating that a relative
would arrive here Tuesday afternoon
and take charge of the body. DR..
Teachnor, one of the prison physicians,
declared Monday afternoon that while
he had not made a very thorough dag
nosis of the case he was of the opin.
ion the hiccoughs were caused by a
reflex. An autopsy may be held today
to determine the precise nature of the
trouble. Baker and his daughter were
received at the penitentiary June II,
1898, to serve ten and two years re.
spectively for incest The daughter
was discharged January %, 1900.
With the usual short time allowance
he would have been released October
1G, 1904. The girl was % years old
when convicted. Bakers death is the
first caused by hiccoughs in the pen
itentiary for many years. Ten days
ago he was admitted to the hospital,
showing premonitory symptoms of ty'
phoid fever.
GOVERNORS ILLNESS.
Governor Nash's physician has is.
sued bulletin stating that the health
of the governor is not such as to give
alarm. He has ordered him to remain
indoors three weeks and take an alb
solute rest. The governors trouble is
not due to an affection of the heart
but is ascribed to the high attitudes
in the west, to which many persons
are susceptible. The doctor said he
mad suffered slight accident, which an
investigation reveals was the bursting
of blood vessel in the spinal cord, a
mishap which often befalls persons un-
accustomed to the light air pressure
in high attitudes. Such accidents it' Is
said seldom result seriously If the vic
tim obtains rest Governor Nash is
not in a distressed condition, and were

doing SO, he would be at his Office.
WILHELM is NON-COMMITTAL.
Senator Wilhelm was here yesterday
afternoon. He said he was on his way
to Springfield to attend a meeting OF
the Knights of Pythias. When asked
what the feeling in Stark county
anent the denomination of Governor
Nash was he referred the interviewer
to another Stark county man standing
by, who expressed himself as not know
ing what sentiment existed. Both gen
tlemen preferred to be non.committal
Senator Wilhelm professed not to know
whether or not senatorial convention
would be held in the Stark-Carroll
district. He said the Anti-Saloon
league made him spend lot of money
However, he was magnanimous and
had no complaint to make.
