bank, Ohio, a suburb of Cincinnati
In the evening at about s o'clock
Mr.. Oscar Mortashed, young man,
a friend of the Stewart family
called. He invited Miss Anna
Stewart andsMiss O'Rear to go ca
noe riding with him on the Ohio
river. The invitation was accept
ed and soon the frail canvass ca
noe with.its occupants had reached
the middle of the river.
In their exciting pleasure they
failed to notice the City of Wheel
ing, steamer which was fast ap-
preaching them.
Mr.. Mortshed is said to be an ex-
pert oarsman; quickly he turned
the canoe in time to miss the steam
er butlthe' frail bark was capsized
and its occupants thrown into the
river. The accident was not no.
ticed by the steamers crew.
The three clung to the canoe and
the oarman tried in vain to steer
its precious cargo to the Ohio
shore. Hope for safety in this way
was abandoned and they began
drifting, drifting with the tide.
They talked of the prospects for
safety.
After a considerable time they
saw a steamer, the.Stanley coming
up the river. Their cries attract
the attention of its officers who
threw the search light across the
waters.
The canoe was sighted, but the
'fticer and crew say that there were
'nly two persons when the canoe
lrew near. The young man was
irst taken off and then Miss Stew
Irt. Both were much exhausted.
IN board the Stanley the oars-man
aid: "Where is Mabel?" The
'tiicer said there were only two on
he canoe. Then the awful fact ]
vas realized that the lovely Mabel
ad sunk beneath the waves proba-
lY to rise no more. r

''Rear can be better imagined than L

TARIFF REVIS-
ION SENTIMENT.

The sentiment in favor of tariff
revision is very strong in the
West, says Representative Eddy,
Republican, Of Minnesota. every
Republican State convention west
of the Allegheny Mountains has
declared for it, and every congress
sional candidate nominated is
pledged to it more or less strongly
in his acceptance speech, The
Western idea of a protective tariff
is substantially as follows; 1t
should not afford protection to
monopoly, that is, to an industry
absolutely controlled by an indi-
vidual partnership, a corporation
or a trust.
The trusts, combines and mo-
nopolies have been fostered by
Republican legislation, and the
hand that would take from the
pockets Of the many is now seen
on the Republican canvass; what
can they do9 more than to re-
solve' Nay, the people must
unite, not for extreme measures, |
but to protect themselves from the
trusts so powerful because of ex
listing protective tariff laws.

brought out at meetingof the Re-

Law was discussed. The general
impression Of the law was that the

desired. The law on the subject is:
THAT the voters assistant shall be
stationed within the room where
the election is being held, and Snail,
when requested by any voter, assist
such voter to mark, alter, change,
scratch OF fold his ballot in the
presence of the voter and of each
