FORAKER DEFEATED.
Hanna Routs His Political Enemies in
Disorder.

SiSSl dSis
Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 6.-Senator
Foraker's Corsican plot against the po-
litical life of Senator Hanna has fail
ed. The daggers of his braves were
blunted and bent when the republican
house caucus nominated w. S. McKin-
non of Ashtabula for speaker.
The Foraker men find cruise of
comfort in having named most of the
slate" for officers of the senate. That
is cheerfully yielded to them. The
senate manages itself and appoints its
own committees, leaving only dis
charge of routine duties to its officers.
The Hanna men did not waste much
time or effort in trying to get that
Control of the house, where the speak
er is absolute in the direction of bust

judge of which way political currents

Coz made alliance with Foraker
against Hanna and was found to be not
invincible nor unerring nor immune
from getting with loser.
Senator Foraker will go back to the
United States senate. That is almost
beyond question, because Senator Han
ma is man of his word. But when
Foraker takes up his certificate of cleo
ton he will take it as dole from the
hand OF Har a. That is the measure
of his standing in Ohio politics after
today.
Foraker's Fangs Drawn.
Senator Hanna's friends wish he
would send them word to find another
for the states second seat in the up
per house at Washington. Judge Will
liam H. Taft of Cincinnati or any one
of half a dozen men would suit them.
Now that Forakers fangs have been
drawn they think his head should be

Hanna has given his word, and there
is no expectation here that he will go
back on it, though he could find abund-
ant reason for SO doing in what has
happened here during the last few
weeks.
Neither Senator Hanna in Washing
ton nor his friends on the ground here
dreamed of fight against him in this
organization of the legislature to re-
elect Foraker until a few weeks ago.

"WHEN A sENATAH Is, A LIAR"
A Southern Senator Gives His Views
as to Estimate of New Members.

The venerable Senator Pettus, OF AL
ALBANIA, is one of the most genial and
popular as well as one Of the most in
fluential members of the body to which
he belongs. To an acquaintance who
was congratulating him upon the COM
pleteness with which he had suppress
ed in debate bumptious new senator,
the Nestor of the senate explained:
well, sub, it's like this. When "a
new senatah assuahs the senate of the
United States that he knows mo-
about the pending question than all
the rest of them put tpgetheh they
believe him. When he repeats that
assurance next day about an entiahly
different question theih acquiescence
is tinged with incredulity. When, on
the thuhd day he renews it about a
thuhd question theih suspicious all
aroused. And when, on the 10th day
he says the same thing about fo'th
question, unrelated to any of the
othahs, they know he is liah.'

OBITUARY.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

On August 4, at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. S. Reno, near Agency, after
an illness of only twenty-four hours,
occurred the death of their youngest
daughter, Myrtle. aged is years 2
months and / day.
The deceased leaves a father and
mother, one brother, one sister and in
Vulnerable friends to mourn their loss.
The funeral was attended by very
large concourse of friends and rela-
tives.
All sympathy that could be bestow-
ed by friends was manifested toward
the family in this their sad bereave-
ment.
BY request the obituary was read
and a short eulogy was pronounced by
Mrs. Mary Yeager, a former teacher,
who knew all the traits of character
of the deceased, and to know the de-
parted one was but to love her
Love and unselfishness were the
dominant characteristics of her life.
She was always ready with smile
and kind word to help those with
whom she associated.
She was for several years faithful
member of the Sunday school. Never
was member more loyal to her teach
/ er and class. Never was daughter
more devoted to parents, nor sister
to her brother and sister. She was a
blessing to her associates, ready
| friend to the weak and a beautiful
crown Of glory to her home, and when
she was called from the home adorn-
ed and made happy by her own sweet
presence. to pass into that higher life
1 beyond she left all dark and sorrow
/ ing. The broken hearted father, de-
voted mother and loving brother and
sister, will, for the remainder OF life's
way. long and sigh for thai face ra-
diant with love- and those tender min
I istrations which speak of the fuliness
of daughters interest and listers
/ loving care.
But while we mourn, we sorrow not
as those having no hope. This thought
must touch our hearts with thrill,
even in our sadness. that her life, her
deeds, her influence. are royal in q
realm beyond times scepter.
An appropriate sermon was deliver
ed by Elder j. A. Brown. of Batavia.
And then from her earthly homn
where she had been surrounded by all
that goes to make life worth living
and with its countless hallowed
scenes, she was tenderly carried en-
closed in her neat white casket with
its profusion of flowers by the follow
ing named members of her class as
pallbearers: Georgia Gilbert, Erma
Gillis, Alta Dreamer, Effie Morrison
Myrl Creamer and Mabel Gillis.
Interment was made in the Agency
) cemetery. AAA.

OLD TIME MENUS.
These Were Very Substantial Affairs
Years ADO.

Dinner was substantial affair in
the reign of Queen Elizabeth, who was
by no means Indifferent to the pleas
ures of the table. The first course on
great occasions would probably be
wheat flummery, stewed broth, spinach
broth, cruel or hotchpock. The second
consisted Of fish, among which may
be noted lampreys, stock fish and stur-
geon, with side dishes of porpoise. The
third course comprised quaking pud-
ding, bag pudding, black pudding,
white pudding, and narrow pudding.
Then came veal, beef, capons, humble
pie, mutton, marrow pasties, Scotch
collops, wild fowl and game. In the
fifth course came all kinds of sweets,
creams in all their varieties, custards
cheese, cakes, jellies, warden pies
junkets, Syllabus, and so on, to be
followed perhaps by white cheese and
tansy cakes. For drink there were ale
and beer, wine sack and numerous va
rieties of mead or metheglin, some OF
which were concocted out of as many
as five-and-twenty herbs, and were re
dolent Of sweet country perfume.-Chi
