Death Ex-senator Hanna

The death Of Hon Marcus ADnzc
Hanna. United States Senator 10,
Ohio, occurred at Washington last
Monday night. 1t was fully ex.
pectrd. Mr.. Hanna some week.
ago was attacked by typhoid fever
complicated with other disorders,
ana almost from the beginning was
reported seriously i'll. For several
days past his medical attendants
have regarded his condition as criti-
cally dangerous, with little pros
pest Of hts recovery. He has sue
cumbed IT, the attack, and with bis
demise has passed away the greatest
political manager Of tue Republican
party.
Mr. Hanna was a man Of active,
energetic temperament sish unusual
executive ability displayed in the
conduct Of the extensive and in-
Por:ant business operations in
which lie was engaged u the day vi
his death, and in his handling of the
National Republican Committee, Of
which lie was chairman. He man
aged President Mckinley's two
successive and successful cam
paigns with great ability, aud WAS
himself regarded bv many as the
most desirable presidential nominee
that the Repa bIican party could
furnish, and was preferred by ex-
tensive interests which have much
to do with the nomination aud cleo
ton of Presidents as far superior
to Mr.. Roosevelt.
There is much reason to think
that there was u large sentiment in
the Republican party favorlng the
nomination IT Air. Hanna, and i. is
believed that the President was
anxious to no email degree Oh the
subject. The death of the Senator
now gives Mr.. Roosevelt u clear
field for the Republican nomination
Nothing now can seriouly interfere
with his prospects, unless some
new Richmand enters tue field.

Less Hawks and More

Editor St. Tamnany FARnER:

Editor St Tamnany FARMER:
A man behind good shotgun or
rifle can render much protection to
small game If he will. Tha, is, If
he known how TO handle a gun.
The following are a few of the
points of satisfaction derived from
the determination of hawks and
owls. In the first place, you have
more rabbits to trim your vege,
tables tor you, also email fruit
trees. Next, your chickens will
roam where they please and tend
to your garden, although its long
way from the barn yard, Next is,
the chickens lay more eggs than
when all day long chased by the
hawks and kept III hiding place.
Next is, you can raise more young
chickens. Now las, aud best 49,,
you'll not have 10 invite your city
cousins, friends and relations,
they ii do that. that Is. after it be-
comes known that you have plenty
of game round about your place.
When the season is open for hunt
ing, you frequently hear a hello at
your gate, aud on answering the
call you find perhaps wagon load
of gentlemen aud a dog at The gate.
That If you aon't take notice of a
gun in every nau's hand, you
might suppose that an election is
near at hand, and that the very
best candidates are about to pay
their very best respects; but when
you get near enough IT'S swell,
howdy do, Mr. Farmer, why you
look fine. l see you have u n'ce

you ~ my friend Mr.. Snooteusloffie.
He represents the idle manufactur,

by the way,l heard you had plenty
small game around here, we came
out to give them a round today, 10
