Death Of Marcus Alcnzc Hanna

The death of this great and
wonderful man took place in
Washington City yesterday at
$50 p. m. He was born in New
Lisbon, Columbia County, Ohio,
September oath 1897, and was,
therefore 66 years, 4 months,
and % days old at his death.
In his death the United States
has lost one of its most able and
influential statesman, possess
ing energy and power Of organ
ization to a remarkable degree,
and while we condemned his
political methods, we could but
admire the ability that could
turn defeat into victory. He
knew no such word as fail, and
MS party owes MS name debt
of gratitude that should ever
keep his memory green in the
annals of his party.
Just who the Legislature of
Ohio will name as his successor
is not now known, but while the
State of Ohio is filled with men
who are always ready for place
and power, they have no second
Marcus A. Hanna to take his
ploce in the Senate of the Uni
ted States. They may send a
man to occupy his late seat, but
it will only be in form.

The directors and patrons of

The directors and patrons of
the four school districts of Cal
houn township held a meeting
yesterday afternoon at the Cal
hsun school house for the pur-
pose of discussing the advis-
ability of establishing a new
sub-district or to try the town
ship graded school plan, which
has worked with marked success
in several sections of Iowa.
This plan is being successfully
worked in Spring Valley town
ship, Monona county, and there
is at Moorhead a township
graded school that is giving the
children in the country the same
educational advantages as are
enjoyed by the children in the
towns. At the meeting yester-
day the question was pretty
we'll discussed, Supt. Brainard
of Logan and Prof. Blodgett of
the Logan schools being pres
ent. The sentiment seemed
favorable to the township
school plan and it is probable
something definite will be done
in that direction by the school
patrons of Calhoun township.
In the march of civilization the
little district school is destined
to give way to the township
graded school when it will not
be necessary for the farmers to
move to town in order to give
their children an education. The
township plan is advantageous
both from the point of economy
and the results that are OBJ
tanned from it.

CHICAGO. Nov. .22.-The Record
Herald yesterday said: "Thirty-slx
million dollars is TO be paid for the.
Chicago City Railroad Company by
d syndicate, headed by Marshall
Field. P a. Valentine and John J.!
Mitchell, of Chicago, and J. Pierpont
Morgan, Thomas Ryan and their as
sociates, of New York City Mr.
Morsan's Wall street firm and one
other trust company not yet named
will underwrite the deal.
stAnnouncement soon will be made
to the public, which is to be informs
ed that the moneyed men OF the East
and West, having joined hands, will
buy up city railway stock at $500 a
share, which is considerably more
than the present market price.
1t is stated on inside authority that
il there is no unlooked-for hitch in
the negotiations and unification, the
scheme, SO far as the South Side Com
pany is involved, will be completed
by the first OF the year In the mean
time the same interests which will
purchase the South Side lines will OBJ
lain an OptlOn on lne ulaJolAtS "
stock of the West and North Chicago
Companies, considerable share of
which is already at their command.
Once they obtain clear title TO
this and demonstrate it at the annual
meetings of the two companies, early
in January, their remaining concern
would be the Union Traction Com
pany But this will not be an obsta-
Gle, for the men who are engineer
ing the consolidation, it is believed,
are in a position to swing control of
the leasing corporation at any mo-
ment.

WIFE MURDERED AND
PLACED IN q TRUNK.
German Police Trying TO Find the
CriminaI--May Have Fled to
This Country

BERLIN, Nov. 22.-The German
police are occupied in. a search for a
addressed man, who a few days ago
left a trunk in the cloakroom at the
railway station of Baku, in Russia as
the trunk began to emit an offensive
smell, it was opened by the police,
and the dismembered body of young
woman, covered with a few rugs, was
found inside. A rope was drawn
tightly round the neck, and a hand
kerchief was stuffed in the mouth.
Medical Investigation revealed the
probability that the murderer first
gagged his victim to prevent her
making a noise and then strang1ed
her with the rope. Afterwards he
cut the body in pieces for the purpose
Of packing it in the trunk.
Another trunk left by the same man
contained letters, photographs, and
other articles, providing useful clues
to the identity Of the perpetrator.
From these, it appears that the vic
tim was the young wife of the muir
derer, to whom she had been married
but a short time.
Further clues lead to the ssupposi-
ton that the murderer fed across
the frontier to Germany on his way
to London for Liverpool and New
York.
