Valuable Papers Secured.

Wapakoneta, O., March 16.-Four-
teen armed and masked men, last
night entered the house Of Mrs. Jacob
Reischelderfer, near Cridersyillc, a
widow, and took possession. With
Mrs. Reischelderfer are living her
grand daughter Blanche, aged IL
years; George lanes and his wife and
their son, Joseph lanes. Mrs. Reis-
chelderfer was known to be afraid to
trust her money TO the banks. The
robbers first knocked down the elder
lanes and then bound him and the
two women with ropes and placed
them in beds in separate rooms. Mean
while some of the robbers lay in wait
for Joseph, who was In town, and
when he returned they bound and
| ID him in the kitchen. At the point
of a shotgun they made the little CIR
| tell where the money was to be found
They secured $1,000 in cash and $1,000
worth of notes and securities from
chest upstairs, and proceeded to ran
sack the house from top to bottom
looking for a secret door supposed tC
be in the wall, They took possession
of all the jewelry and silyerware anc
secured a months wages from lanes
pockets. They blindfolded everybody
but left the little girl free. After di
yiding the money in the cellar part o

them remained until two o'clock

A discouraging feature Of the
State campaign to candidates is the
tendency displayed by farmers to
waste no time with the aspirants to
public Office, the sentiment among
the agriculturists being that their
farm labor is a subject of more I'M
portance than the question Of who
will be the next governor Of the
State or sheriff Of the county. Yield
ing to this sentiment, candidates for
Office in several counties, where only
two men are in the field, are making
agreements not to make a house to
house canvass, merely announcing
their candidacy in the papers and
leaving the question Of decision tc
the voters.

D. D.. pastor of st. Johns church in
Brooklyn. has been suggested in con-
ncction with the office of Bishop Of
Mississippi, made vacant by the
death of the late Bishop Hugh Mil

that his name will be presented to

The press Of the State has COM
menccd a close analysis Of the va
rious candidates for governor and
the issues they have broached before
the people, and it seems quite likely
that the remainder Of the campaign
will be devoted largely to critical
study of men and measures, which
means that the fight must inevitably
narrow down between the radical
and conservative elements, and the
man who is the victor will be the
foremost advocate Of one Or other Of
these elements.

'Gwine,' the he gro's word for going and, by the way, word of splendid eiiphony, infinitely sweeter and more musical than going is another Illustration of the black mans preference for the sound of i.' So too, 'aint' and isn't are constantly and persistently used by negroes in- stead of am not and is not again showing the negro's preference for what have called the thin and sharp CT sound. Did lybu Fever hear negro say An for Well, perhaps you have. But this is fffe rare exception. The negro generally sounds the T and sounds it thin1y instead of broadening it into the sound of 'a.' For instance, 'I's gwine' is very common way the negro has of beginning a sentence, meaning I am going. He does not say Ans gwine' or Is go'n.' The express sion as rule is thin, and sharp-'I's gwine.' This pecuIiarity of negro speech is not only overlooked by the jingle builders who have flooded the market with ragtime songs; the dialec- ticians who are seeking to preserve what beauty there is in the language of this interesting race by giving the negro a lasting place in the literature of the country, have fallen into the same error. Rob the negro of his pecu- liarities of speech, and change the character of his music, and you take from him all that is humorous, poetic all the finer emotional shades, all the tints and colors which run the wide range between light-hearted comedy and the deeper shadowings of the tragic. If you will not shrink from the ordeal, we will allow this little dis course to lapse until we get down to may serve to illustrate my views with respect to negro dialect"
