this year he represents the Thirty-fourth.
Not since the adoption of the constitution
In 1851 has man represented two difrer-
ent districts in successive years. Senator
Dunham's distinguishing position is occa-
stoned by the fact that Lucas county was
made a district by itself
Senator Durham has not been in politics
a long time. He Is a business man. and
even in politics Insists on sticking to his
business habits. Three years ago he was
unknown throughout the state. In his
short political career he has been mention
ed as a candidate for lieutenant governor
and then for president pro TEN. of the sen
ate. He discouraged his Republican friends
from putting his name before the public ON
both occasions.
Senator Durham Is a native OF Delaware
county. He started life as a teacher In
1891 he moved to Lucas county, previously
having Invested In the oil fields in that ter

The stranger was there, and be-
hold he was the same old lightning
rod swindler as of yore, and the
first that Mr.. Schieser heard of
lightning-rods was when the fellow
came on the afternoon of the same
day, to deliver the lightning rods.
The contract stipulated Zone
rod, five points and five braces at
$27 each, less $25 from the total." "
This made the amount 1912 instead
of 80. Mr.. S. refused to pay it,
and the stranger threatened to sue.
B. remained firm and finally the
swindler said he wonld take 800,
and at last tore up the contract and
left the premises hurriedly.
The shark claimed that his name
was King, that he represents the
Security Lightning Rod Co., and
that he receives salary of $50 per
month. If there is any truth in
his statement it was certainly ac-
cidental.

The Home Merchant.

Who sympathized with you when
your child was sick? Was it your
home merchant, or was it Sears
Roebuck & Co? Who carried you
last winter when you were out of
job and had no money? Was it
Montgomery Ward Il Co., or was
it your home merchant When
you want to raise money for the
churches or some needy person in
town, do you write to the Fair
Store in Chicago, or do you 60 to
your home merchant? How much
do Siegel, Cooper & Co. give to-
ward keeping up the sidewalks of
the town or paying the minister's
salaryH When you were sick, how
many nights did Chas. A. Stevens
& Co. sit up with your When
your loved one was buried was it
your home merchant who dropped
the tear of sympathy and uttered
the cheering word, or was it
Marshall, Field q Coz OF course
it was the home merchant. Is it
your home merchant that is large
ly instrumental in maintaining
your public schools, and takes a
personal and common interest in
the education of your children, or
is il the Chicago firms mentioned
abovep You can get just as good
goods and just as low prices with
them as in the city. Besides,
they are here to right any wrong.

Death of Wesley Haines.

On Sunday afternoon Uncle
Wesley Haines, life long citizen
of Logan, passed to his reward,
the cause of his sudden demiss be-
ing apoplexy. His people went to
his room as usual Sunday morning
and finding the door fastened, they
suspected that he was sick or
something wrong for he was very
early riser. Forcing the door open
they found him lying on the floor
in an unconscious condition from
which he never rallied, and died
at o'clock in the afternoon.
Wesley Haines was born in
Loudin Co., Virginia, Aug. g.,
1928. In 1881 he came to Logan
and has lived here ever since. In
1854 he married Mary j. Tucker,
who died in 1881. He was one of
the old land marks of Logan, n
fearless soldier in the war of the
Rebellion, being a member of the
151st Regiment, Co. X. He was
a contractor in his active life and
built many of the old houses of
Logan. In late years he has lived
quiet life with his sister, Mrs.
Lift, and being pensioner was
comfortable in his old days. His
funeral occurred Tuesday afternoon
from the home Of his sister.

al had often heard of people be-
ing 'all in, " said McGwine, "but
never did l come to a realization
of the force of that single word
"all" until uttered by that half
breed. He summed up his future
existence with single grunt and
and told the story of future years
of privation and hardships, with
but one word"
"There were many curious char
acters in the crowd, and characters
that were well worth the study.
There were twelve life men in the
gang, and some had countenances
that seemed to indicate they would
be guilty of most anything. They
were very much elated over our
treatment of them, but they were
always on the lookout for an open
ing and if one had presented itfelf
they would have lost no time in
taking advantage of it.

JOSEPH n. BLACKBURN
During his lncumbcncy he has fought two
particularly notable battles in the inter.
est of the people of the state.
One OF them WIS the prosecution of q
New York Grm for selling composition cof,
fee In the state contrary to law. This
firm has millions of dollars back of 1t and
has resorted to every turn of the law to
win 'ut In the first place. in the courts
at Cincinnati, the New York people
sought to enjoin the food commissioner
from commencing prosecution against
them. They lost there. Then Commits
sioner Blackburn weht into the courts at
Toledo, and successfully prosecuted the
manufacturers of the coffee The prosecu-
tion Of the oleomargarine cases by the state
food commissioner resulted in signal vic
tories for the department. The cases were
carried to the supreme court of the United
States and the state department was up
held on every point.
The departments fights against the sale
of adulterated liquors, medicines com
pounded contrary to law. and many spu.
rious food articles, have been successful
in every instance. Public servants often
place politics above duty, but Commits
sioner Blackburn has vigorously enforced
the laws Of the state, regardless Of po-
litical consequences, and this Is what has
made him popular with the masses and
disliked by those who aimed to push spu-
rious food articles into the Ohio markets
Joseph B. Blackburn was born in log
cabin at Pennington, Belmont county,
June 80, 1860. At the age OF IL he went
into the Belmont glassworks as a com,
mon laborer. He became foreman and
was one OF the organizers OF the most
successful molders' unions In the United
States. In 1887 he went into the drug
business, and later had the degree Of
Pho. conferred upon him by the Ohio
Medical University at Ada. He ~as never
elected to public office until he was a men,
ber of the Seventy-second genNal as
sembly. Since that time he has made his
remarkable record as food and dairy com
rniaaionor

COLONEL BRYAN
Expresses His Views Upon the Nam
haitian Club Meeting. Is In Col
umbus TO Consult With
Democrats.

Toledo, Feb. 24.-William j.
Bryan was in the city while en-
route to Columbus to consult with
Ohio Democratic leaders. When
asked to give his views upon the
Manhattan club meeting at New
York he replied "The Manhat-
tan club will have to support the
Democratic ticket at least once be-
fore it will take an active part in
shaping the policy of the party.
In the campaign of 1895 the Man
haitian club marched with a band
to the Republican headquarters as
evidence of its sympathy with that
party in that campaign
When asked what he thought of
Henry Watterson's opinion that
the question of dealing with trusts
would be the principal plank in
the next national Democratic plat
sorm, Mr.. Bryan said: cit will
be impossible to write platform
until issues develope, but it ought
not to be matter of doubt that
Democratic principles will be ap-
piled to all the issues and that the
planks will be written by those
whose loyalty to the party is not
under Suspicion

JIM M'GWINE
Tells of His Experience in Guarding
Forty-Five Desperate
Criminals.
Lancaster Eagle.)

Lancaster Eagle.)
Mr.. James McGwine returned
home Sunday night from his trip
to Atlanta, where he went as
Deputy United States Marshal with
Fagen and others in charge of As
United States prisoners whom they
were transferring from the Colum-
bus penitentiary to new national
prison which the government has
just completed in the Cracker
Stats.
"They were the toughest, rough
est looking lot of men 1 ever saw
together in one bunch" said the
genial Lancasterian, "yet six other
guards besides myself handled
them without the least trouble and
delivered them over to the Atlanta
authorities in about "a hours after
we received them"
"We were joined at Columbus, I"
said Mr.. McGwine, "by 23 priso-
ners, in n separate car from the
Moundsville (West Virginia) PEN
itentiary and while we only had
seven men to guard 40 desperate
men, they had eleven men to watch
the %. = We only had our men
handcuffed, while the West Vir-
ginian authorities had their men
handcuffed, their legs ironed and
a heavy chain fastening them to
the seat"
CAT Cincinnati we provisioned
the car, the Marshal having or
dered 145 lunch boxes to be taken
on the car at that place. These
contained four different kind of
sandwiches, pies and cakes and
they were washed down by excel
lent coffee. Each of the prisoners
were prvided with pipe and a
a package of tobacco after leaving
Cincinnati and they all seemed to
enjoy a good smoke after years of
enforced denial, because you know
they are not allowed to smoke in
the Columbus prison. Each of the
prisoners were also given a plug of
tobacco"
81 was much amused at big
raw -boned half breed from the In
dian Territory" said McGwine,
she could talk very little English
and had been sent up for life for a
most brutal murder"
"What's your name3" 1 asked
him.
"John Littlefellow," he replied
in his half English and half Indian
dialect.

Last Monday morning, says the
Buckeye (Lithopolis) News, slick
stranger stopped at the home of B.
Schieser, near Hopewell, and per-
suaded him to sign contract to
install an electric light plant in
his house. The price was to be
$27, but as that was to be first
house so lighted they deducted
$25, making it net only So. That
was the strangers way of adver-
tising, and he did not seem to care
anything about newspaper adver-
tiBing.
II. f. Rainier heard Of the cleo
tric light plant, and stopped at
the home OF Mr.. Schiezer in the
afternoon to learn about it.
