The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1904-02-18

Left an orphan at the tender
age of 10, and sent as an appren-
tice to learn the Milling trade at
13 years of age, he emigrated to
America in 1851; and after spend
ing some time in other places, he
made his home in Logan and form
ed partnership in the Logan
Flour Mill which interest he re-
tanned until his retirement from
business.
1t is interesting to. recall that
he came to America with Mr.. R.
w. Keynes, with whom he was
brought up, and for over 80 years,
these two men were business part
ners in the Flour Mill.
In Sept. 1858 he was united in
marriage to Rosannah Andregg of
Lancaster, and now at his death,
he leaves to mourn his loss, low
ing and devoted wife, four daugh-
ters, three sons, and two grand
children, and a host Of friends,
all of whom miss him on account
of his pure life, his sacrificing SER
vice and his tender and affection
ate disposition.
Mr.. Wellman has been great
sufferer; but he bore his pain with
remarkable patience and, such
was the beauty of his disposition,
that he was never complaining,
never impatient, but always hope
full and often cheerful and smiling
and rejoicing.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted at the residence by H. j.
Steward, d. D., of the Presby ter
ian church. DR.. Steward was with
Mr.. Wellman all day Sunday, ex-
cept at the hours for church serv-
ices. He saw the operation, talk.
ed and prayed with Mr.. Wellman,
both before and after the opera
ton. While Mr.. Wellman was not
sure of the outcome except at the
last, his mind was clear, his hear,
was brave and his trust in God was
manifest, and it is comfort to the
family to recall that his last
thoughts were of them.
The funeral services were held a
2 P. M. and the home was filled
with sympathetic friends. Aquar
tette, consisting of Mrs. Weitzell
Miss McCray, j, B. Dollison ant
Irving Kreig furnished tender
and appropriate music.
DR.. Steward took for his text
"Like as a Father pittieth hi
; children. Beginning by speak
ing Of the many reasons Mr.. Well
man could give for continuing t
live, DR.. Steward referred tenderl
to his patience, his courtesy an
o his thoughtful disposition. Hi
text led him to speak about GO
+ Man and Religion, "and dwelt espe
cially on the "Fatherly Attribute
of God," drawing his illustration
, from the father who had just died

family, gather flowers for the home
and seek in a hundred ways

Then, "Like as Father" so tn
Heavenly Father is our friend, OF

easily hear, but the Heavenl

1S.OOO Lose Lohs.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-Fifteen railroads in the General Managers Association, of this city, report laying off nearly 1S,0O0 em- ployes during the last three months While the minority of these discharged were employed Tn the maintenance of way department, this does not account for those dropped on seven of the roads which report mo reductions except those incident to the winter weather, such as reducing tracA forces and outside forces generally, as is always the case at this season of the year.
 Some of the roads report that instead of reducing their forces, they have reduced the hours of men paid by the hour. This has been rendered necessary by the fact that expenses were increasing more rap- idly than earnings. Twenty-two roads in all sections of the country report that while their gross earnings for November last were s1.2S3.4eS over those of Novem- Der, 1902, their expenses show an increase of $2.3l2,sl2. making a decrease of $1, ,OT9, 452 in earnings

BANKHEAD COMPLACENT
NOT ALARMED BY HoBsoN,S
 RUMoRED CANDIDACY.
Sikh District Congressman Says the New Panama Treaty Must Be Ratified, Despite the Man
 ner of Its Procurement.

Birmingham, Jan. 5.-(Special. )-Con- gressman John H. Bankhead of tine Sixth Alabama district. was in Birmingham to-day en route to Washington from his home at Fayette. When asked as to the Panama treaty he said that while he had objections to the manner in which 1t was procured. this government now has to ratify 1t. He said that other countries were following the lead of the United States in recognizing the litIe country and that this government could hardly retrace it's steps.
 Congressman Bankhead when told that Captain Richmond Pearson ,Hobson, who Is said to be a candidate for the position now held by him. would be in this sec tion during the coming week. said that he knew of 1t. He said that he was like the man who always carried a loaded gun for there was no telling when a bear might be met in the road"
 Captain Hobson will be at Brookwood, Tuscaloosa county. in the Sixth district, Saturday night. Monday night he will be in Bessemer and Tuesday night in Birmingham. He will deliver his lecture on the navy at each place. It is expected that at the Brookwood and Bessemer lectures he will announce his candidacy for Congress in the Sixth district. Con gressman Bankhead. according to indi- cations. does not apprehend any trouble fin the proposed opposition.

Armbrecht Has the Call.

There Is considerable discussion in po- litical circles as to who will get the off e of District Attorney of the Southern Dis trict of Alabama, at Mobile. to succeed M. ID. Wickersham, who died last week.
 The name of James J. Curtis has been mentioned as 2 possible appointee;; MT. Curtis stated this morning that he was not a candidate and would not ask for the place.
 There are a number of Republicans who want the office. and it Is said number of tor of Internal Revenue Joseph O Thamp- son. one of the three referees of Presi- dent Roosevelt. stated today that Dem ocrat would not be appointed, but that a Republican would secure the place.
 Asked about the rumors regarding the possible appointment of Mir Curtis. Col lector Thompson said:
 MT. Curtis is not an applicant nor will he be: At this time he is enjoying a splendid law practice In Birmingham. He Is young man with an exceptionally bright future before him, and he recently declined one of the best positions in the Mobile district, for the reason that it would take him away from Birmingham"
 When asked as to who would probably be appointed MT; Thompson said:
 "The referees have not vet mode their endorsement, nor will they unt they have had time to look into the fitness of the various applicants"
 Asked if Democrat would he consid- cred he said:
 "No. indeed. The Republicans have considerable talent in the leg0I proees- sion fin the Mobile District and Colonel Wickersh,tms successor will be Repub- 'ican, Being a judicial position there are great many things to be considered. The Republican applicants. so far ae am informed. are Mir. Bromberg. W. H. Armbrecht and R. W. Stoutz. all of Mo- bile. They are gentlemen of character and ability I do not know the names of any Democratic applicants"
 From present indica tons it seems as though Armbrecht has the best show for the place. as he has been very active of late in supporting the administrat on though he was formerly a lily white. The other two are staunch Rapuh'icans, but are said to have not been very active.
 Politics Is bound to play an imnortant part in the selection Of Colonel Wicker shams successor, as the national election is to be held this year

Opposed to Abolition of State Bank
 Circulation.

Richmond, Va, Jan. 4.-Governor Mon tague today sent to the Assembly his veto of what is known as the State bank bill. He says:
 'I do not think it in accordance with public sentiment or business policy to withhold from our State banks the priv ilege of the issuance of notes of circu- lation. It is true that this privilege has not been exercised for many years. by reason of the very large tax imposed by the National Government, yet no one can foresee when it may be most desirable or urgent to exercise such authority.

Smoke Cased Excitement.

Tiny wreaths of smoke which curled from the basement of the Powell school, on the corner of Twenty-fourth street and Sixth avenue, excited the whole rneighborhood this morning shortly be- fore II o'clock, while a possible stam- pede among the pupils was curbed by the thoughtful teachers in the several rooms. The fire amounted to nothing. originating in a mysterious way in a basket of paper left in the basement. The smoke was discovered by one of the teachers and Dr. J. H. Phillips, superin- tendent of the city public schools. was quickly but quietly given the alarm and he at once transmitted it to the North side department. The fire was extingush- ed. before the firemen arrived at the building.
 The extraordinary feature of the alarm was the apparent indifference of the pu- pills inside the building entrusted with the hundreds of people who fiocked to the scene indicated by the fire apparatus. But before the flremen reached the school building the alarm had been spread. Gu rfous and anxious men and women ran to the building trying to discover the flames. But there were none. The jani- tor had extinguished the fire before it had hardly consumed the basket of lit- ter in the basement.
 AS soon dS Iue aAalih Hdu Fedcneu Iur- ther than the mere ne!ghborhood, a siege of calls on the telephone in the Powell building began. The panting voices of mother patrons of the school .itquiring for their little sons and daugh- ters could not all be answered at once aTd the teachers were kept, busy for many minutes. This excitement over, small boys and negroes bearing notes marched into the building. These mes sages were short and hurried inquiries from the mothers of pupils in the school who had no telephone connection.
 ! The teachers are commended on every side for their Judgment in such an emer- gency. They did not choose to empty inc building, although the students are put through regular fire drill once a

 tailed to convene last night because of the absence of a quorum, was held at the
 rooms of the Board in the city hall at
 noon today. There were present Presi- dent A. O. Lane, Mayor W. M. Drenneu, Ell P. Smith and James J. smith, the two last named being new members of

 total actual enrollment of all the public schools of the city Was 5.795: membership, 5.066; actual attendance. All; absent, 645.
 The large number absent during the pe- riod under consideration was due to the approach of the holidays.
 The question of temporary additional facilities for the high school came up when it was announced by Superintendent Phillips that forty new pupils would en- ter the high school on February l from the lower schools and that facilities for their accommodation do not exist. A mo- tion prevailed that a special committee be appointed to investigate the matter and report to a special meeing of the board to be called during the month. This committee, 1t is expected. will suggest a plan for securing temporarily the addi- tional room needed at the high school The Committee consists of Mayor Dren- EU p Smith md 1amaS I
