William Bell, Prominent Nsw-
ark Politician, Dies After q
Few Days illness.

Newark, O., July 11-After few
days illness with dysentery, Hon
William Bell. who for half a century
has been a Democratic Office holder
of Licking and Franklin counties, once
secretary of state, four times repre-
sentative from this and Franklin
counties in the legislature, Newark's
postmaster under Buchanan, twice
sheriff, twice auditor. once Newark's
mayor and holder of other Offices,
died at his home yesterday at the age
of 76 years. Licking county will there
fore have no representative in the spe-
cial session OF the legislature. A few
hours before Mr. Bell passed away here
his son-in-law, Archibald Knox, died
in Columbus.
BIZ Bell was as widely known as
any politician in Ohio. He could call
nearly every Licking county man by
name and his popularity is attested
by the fact that for half century he
was elected to nearly every Office with
in the gift of the people.

without compensation, who shall add
to or mix with such eleomargarine
any artificial coloring that causes II
to look like butter of any shade of yell

AS it Is most unlikely that any fam

and then engage in palpable effort to
cheat themselves into the belief that
they are eating butter 1t may be as

WORKMAN MAKES
WONDERFUL ESCAPE.
Buried In CoIIapsed Building,
But Sustslns Only Scalp
Wound.

Cleveland. July 1.-THE old eighth
preciuct station, three story brick
building, at Detroit street near the
corner of Pearl street, collapsed last
evening while four men were engaged
in remodel.ng 1t. One of the men was
caught, the others, who weEe working
at the time, escaped the 'crumbling
material.
John Retz was buried four feet deep
by the stones and bricks and decayed
timbers, but when extricated from his
peril he had sustained no more ap-
parent injuries than cut on the face.
Three others who were working with
Retz we're Peter Angel, David Know
and Benjamin Bush. Angel was the
first to hear the building start to fall
and yelled at the men near him. All
four of the men were on tho first
loor. Angel was struck In the back
of the head by falling brick and his
foot was crushed. Know and Bush
were not seriously injured and went
home on street car.

PROPER PRONUNCIATION.

Two wellknown officials, one of tho
state and the other of the city, while
warm friends, occasionlly get into ar
guments as to the proper pronuncia-
ton of words. The other night the
word isolate" was used by the city
man, who pronounced it with the ac-
cent on the 'i' as "i-solate," where
upon the state Immediately "butted in"
with "Oh, no, not isolate, but is-ol-
ate" why you're bughouse," re-
Joined the 'i' man. Common senco
ought to teach you that you are
wrong. Just look at what the word
means-ice, that is frozen, which is to
be dead one, that Is of no account,
l mean out of the commission or put
away back, see?" mo, I''ll be hanged
II l do, nor anyone else" shouted the
state man. Then a panied look came
over the face of the city man, and with
gentle pity he said: you ought not
to need piledriver or an ak. I'll spell
1t for you phonetically. Ice-o-late.
Ice, do you catch on? Frozen, put
away, eh?"
"Oh, rats!" yelled Bowen, "let's
have some vichy and milk" and Will
Jams acquiesced.-Albany Journal.

If Governor Nash can prepare a
municipal code bill that will suit all
parties and be acceptable to the legis-
lature, he will prove himself states
man and a domestic diplomat of un-
precedented skill. The trouble with a
municipal code in this state is that il
must provide for steals in order to be
favored by the average politician.
Good government and gratis do not
run parallel. AS a great many of the
legislators are politicians or under the
domination OF the bosses. they will not
agree to any law that will make the
city governments of the state too hon
est. Howls are already going up from
al over OHIO against this or that plan.
Yet something has to be done.
