c. x. BECKWITH is DEAD.
Cassie's Victim, the OberIin Banker,
Passes Away.

Oberlin, Ohio, Feb. &C. X. Beck
with, president of the defunct Citi-
Zens' National bank of this city, died
at 10:45 o'clock Sunday after two
days Of Inconsistencies, during which
death was expected at any moment.
Only the family surrounded the death
bed of the banker.
Mr.. BeckWith was about 65 years
of age. On December IA last the fed
eral grand jury in Cleveland returned
five indictments against Beckwith
upon the charge of violating the ma
tiOnal bank laws in connection with
the loans made to Mrs. Cassie /. Chad
wick by the Citizens National bank of
Oberlin, of which deceased was the
president. From the day of his arrest
Mr.. Beckwith's health rapidly failed,
as a result of worry over his troubles.
He frequently declared during his i'll
ness that he wanted to die. For sew
eral days prior to his death he refused
to take food in any form. Death re-
suited directly from heart trouble.
The death. of President Beckwith
may materially weaken the charge of
forgery and conspiracy to misapply
bank funds now charged against Mrs
Cassie L. Chadwick.

THE PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Battle of Hun River Was a FierceIy
FOUGHT One


Last week witnessed the close of
what will probably be known as the
battle of the Hun river The Russians
had shown activity all along the line,
but the most aggressive work was
done against the Japanese left wing.
Okus defenses were heavily lombard
ed for several days and there were con-
slant clashes between advanced bodies
OF troops that were attempting to Sc
cure strong positions. The Japanese
finally took the aggressive and the re-
suit has practically been a failure of
kuropatkin to gain single advantage
by his winter movement.
The fighting has been fierce and I'M
der the worst conditions possible. A
low temperature and binding snow
storms have subjected both sides to
great suffering and such misery of war
has probably not been endured since
some Of the Napoleonic campaigns.
Wounds of every sort have been agon.
izing and the impossibility of giving
quick relief in the freezing atmosphere
has resulted in large mortality.
Despite the adverse conditions, the
activity has continued in a desultory
way all through the week. The Rus
slams have been driven to the right
bank OF the Hun, and while the Jap
anese may not feel like following up
any advantage they have gained the
moral effect of this Kuropatkin fail
ure has been bad. 1t has shown that
the boosted Russian superiority in win
ter campaigning is as much a myth
as many other things have been shows
to be, and the news of the failure
comes to European Russia at the most
inoppOrtune time.

ENGINE BOILER. BLOWS UP.
Throws Passenger Cars off of the
Track

Track.
Utica, N. 1.-TWO trainmen lost
their lives and a score or more of pas
sengers were injured in wreck on
the New York Central railroad at
Whitesboro, three miles west of here.
None of the injured was dangerously
hurt, their wounds being mainly cuts
and bruises.
The dead are: John Allen, engineer;
John Brennan, fireman of the locomo-
tive on the Western Express.
AS the train was passing the Buffalo
special eastbound, the boiler of the To-
connective of the westbound train ex-
ploded. The force of the explosion
and the upheaval of the engine threw
the entire 13 cars composing the
special" from the rails. The west
bound train did not leave the track.
but stopped with a suddenness and
shock which threw the occupants of
the berths backward with great force.
The strangest feature of the acct
dent, as it appeared to an onlooker,
was that the boiler of the westbound
locomotive was resting midway be-
tween the rails of the eastbound track
at a point where the eastern train
had passed. This suggested the theory
to trainmen that the boiler had struck
the second car of the eastbound train
as it rushed by at the rate Of so miles
an hour.

Wednesday night Mrs. Thomas Ehr-
hart, wife of former cook at the Wis
consin Lumber company mill, four
miles west of Chehalis, Wash, satur-
ated her clothing with oil, went to an
clubhouse and set her clothing on fire.
Tn woman was burned to death before
aid could reach her. Dependency was
the cause of the suicide. 1t is believed
that Mrs. Ehrhart adopted this method
of suicide from reading of a suicide
which occurred at Covington recently.
The means of death and the mode of
carrying out the plan were the same in
both instances, and it is believed to be
case of suicide by suggestion.

not a dull moment in it. The

The Minneapolis Times Sls-
pends Publication.

The Minneapolis Times sus-
pended publication on Sunday,
Sept. "a, after an existence of
nearly sixteen years. The Min
neapolis Tribune has contracted
to fill it's unexpired subscription
list, and arrangements are made
to pay all the current bills and
the bonds which are secnred by
mortgage on the plant and other
property.
The discontinuance of the
Times was announced on the
last day of publication. Ever
since last January frequent ru.
mors were in circulation of
suspension of the paper, which
failed to take place. Finally,
when least looked tor, the paper
stopped.
With the disappearance of the
Times Minneapolis now has
only the one morning paper. the
Tribune, the daily paper of
largest circulation in the North
west.
From the standpoint OF the
readers it is probably decided
advantage to have one great
strong paper than to have part
of the reading public patronize
another paper. The Tribune now
has 100, 1000 paid circulation, max
ing it twice as large as any other
paper. No paper has 300, 600
readers, which is about the num-
Der that read the Minneapolis
Tribune every day, without
hitting the bulls eye of pop
ularity in the Northwest. Some
people will be sorry to miss the
Times, but there is some cops0,.
lation in the knowledge that by
this very fact, its contem oorary.
the Minneapolis Tribune, will Be
benefited and greatly improved.
The Minneapolis Tribune is
one of the dozen great dailies
that has over 100, 900 subscribers
and purchasers. We are glad Of
it's success and certainly Min,
neapolis and the Northwest are
proud OF the greatest daily. the
