DEAD
YOUNG JOHN kENNON, FOUND
DIED YESTERDAY.
dertake

WHEELING. June 15.-John Ken
non, the young man who was found
in an unconscious condition beneath
the railroad bridge at Valley Grove
Monday morning, died at the county
hospital yesterday. The body is still
at the hospital.
Last night two young men from
Washington, Pa, arrived at Elm
Grove and went at once to the In
Urinary hospital, where they recog-
nized the young man. He has been a
resident of Washington and was in
Wheeling Sunday. The last his two
friends saw of him was when he, was
on the Pittsburg train bound for home
Sunday evening.
The theory advanced that ne had
been knocked from the steps of one
of the cars is probably correct The
injured young man never regained
consciousness, and, as no one saw him
fall, the real facts in the case Will
never be known. His death was
largely due to the exposure.
The authorities at Washington have
been notified of the death of the young
man, but as yet the officials of the
infirmary have received no word as
what to do with the body. 1t will
Hkelysbe shipped to Washington some
time this afternoon.

After The Grafters.
Donaldsonrille Chief.

The Jastremski campaign CON-
mittee of Calcasieu parish has
issued an address which may be
read with profit by people who are
disposed to take stock in the
Blanchardesque declaration that
"the state government is all right"
and needs no reform, and that to
assert the contrary is to libel the
present administration and its pre-
decessors aud to traduce tie dem
ocratic party.
The Calcasieu address asserts
that no candidate for Office in
Louisiana dares deny that some Of
the existing Offices are unnecessa-
ry, or at least have salaries at
tached that are outrageously dis
proportionate 10 the work done,
and among examples cite are the
members of the penitentiary board,
who receive $4,000 year for hold
ing one meeting month; the pre-
sident of the board, who gets
$4,000 for doing $500 worth of
work; the adJutant general of the
state militia, who receives $500 a
month, principally for wearing a
snowy uniform on state occasions;"
the attorney for the oyster COM
mission, who gets 500 a month
"for legal services rendered." and
1.-THE printing graft" which is de-
elared to have bled the state of
$35, 900 for two years work, where
as the public printing for the great
state of Texas only cost $25. 900
for the same period.
Many other useless or overpaid
officials can be mentioned, and
they are to be found in every pa
IRISH Of the state, but the few just
recounted are sufficient to show
that the state government is very
far from being all right and is de-
cidedly in need of reform.
As the Calcasieu address truly
says. Louisiana needs, for public
roads and public schools, every
cent that can possibly be saved"
but it is clear that no saving can
he looked for if Blanchard and
the bosses" are to be placed in
control of the state government,
since they are openly aud vehe-
mently declaring that it is all right
and needs no reform.
The grafters are strongly in
power, and although the Jastrem-
ski forces are after them hot and
heavy. it is doubtful if the bosses
and the machine can be beaten by
any attack from within their par
ty lines.
