which he served continuously until his
death in iSis. Andrew Johnson retired
from the presidency I'm 1869 and imme-
diately took an active part In the politics
OF Tennessee. Though defeated for the
house OF representatives and for the SEN
ate, he eventually was returned to the high
er body and took his seat in 1875. Unlike
John Quincy Adams however. he did not
long servive his return to public life.
Washington regarded John Quincy
Adams as the best equipped man in pub
lie life I'm the nation. and IL is certain
that his career In congress- was no lese
notable than was his service abroad as
secretary OF state or as president. In
deed. he regarded the last Il years OF his
life as the most valuable and fruitful of
his whole public career. Much as Grover
Cleveland did John Quincy Adams left
the White House ~ time when he was
nj variance with many OF the members OF
his own party, but his long and distin-
gushed service I'm the house turned the
virulent assaults OF his opponents into
commentator and praise.

Marion, Ind, June 1S.-A we'll
dressed, educated and refined young
woman was taken from a north-bound
Big Four train yesterday by the po-
lice at the request of the conductor
of the train. The conductor said the
young woman boarded the train in
Cincinnati and presented a ticket to
Alexandria. Her actions were those of
a sane person until she arrived at AL
eXandria, When she refused to leave
the train. Her hallucination was that
the police were pursuing her. The
conductor carried her to Marion,
where she was placed in the charge
of police.
She refused to give any informa-
tion concerning herself. and the only
information the police have is con-
tanned on fly leaf of a book of po-
ems the young woman carried. The
inscription is, From Effie to Miss
Lydia Dartenstein, Xmas. 1885," This
was the only thing among her posses
sions that gave any clue to her iden-
tity She was taken to Jail and was
placed in the custody of Mrs. Clark

DEAD At MILFORD
0hio's Executive Removed to
Home to Recover, Became
Suddenly Worse.
A. /. HARRIS, SUCCESSOR
STATE PATRONAGE NOW PASSES
FROM THE DEMOCRATS TO RE-
PUBLIcANs - GOVERNOR HAD
BEEN LONG SICK.
A. |. HARRIS, SUCCESSOR

Cincinnati, June 1S.-Governor John
M. Pattison, of Ohio, died at his resi-
dence in Milford, about nine miles
from here at 1920 o'clock this after
noon.
His death came as a shock to his
friends, as there had been no report
of any change for the worse during
the day. In fact the news received
here up to the time of his death, was
considered favorable.
The governor was reported by his
attending physicians at 1 o'clock, to
be doing nicely" and there were no
fears for his ultimate recovery. Soon
afterward, however, his condition took
a turn for the worse and hurry calls
were sent for all the physicians who
have been in attendance since he was
brought home from Columbus. He
was suffering from exhaustion, and al
though most powerful of stimulants
were used they were impotent and the
doctors were finally compelled to ad-
NIT that medical science could do no
more and that all hope was gone.
Only the immediate members Of the
governors family were at the bedside
when the end came.
No arrangements for the funeral
have as yet been made.
Republican Become Governor.
Lieutenant Governor Andrew l..
Harris, of Eaton, Ohio, will now be-
come governor, transferring the state
patronage from the Democrats to the
Republicans.
Mr.. Harris is about seventy years
old, and is retired farmer. He was
elected lieutenant governor last fall
when Pattison defNted Herrick for
governor and when the the balance
of the ticket went Republican.
Governor Pattison had made only
two important state appointments and
the appointees of former Governor
Herrick will undoubtedly be reap
pointed, thus assuring the Republi
cans control of the state patronage.

City Attorney Holds That
Council Cannot Financially
Centennial.
THE BLOW is A HARD ONE
COUNCIL AT MEETING DID MOTH
ING TO ENCOURAGE PLANS FOR
THE observation-disclosures A
SMALL AFFAIR.".

Last evening City Attorney Gard
ner stated that in his opinion that it
would be illegal for council to appro-
pirate the $4,000 asked of the city to
assist in celebrating the Centennial
anniversary of Richmond. He also
stated, that in his opinion, council
would have no right to appropriate
this sum even if the citizens voted at
special election in favor of the ap-
preparation. After hearing this re-
port council took no action in the mat
ter, and it is probable that it will not
be considered ain.
There were { raj members of the
Centennial committee present at
council meeting, but they were given
no chance to express their views, and
after adjournment they complained
over the treatment accorded them. T
A. Mott and c. w. Hodgin stated that
in case the city did not assist in fl
nancing the Centennial all of the spec
tacular features would be omitted and
that the observance of the one-hun
dredth anniversary of the founding OF
the city of Richmond would be confin
ed to special program which would
be carried out by the Wayne County
Historical Society. They stated that
it will now be necessary to raise q
guarantee fund of 81 900 to have the
history of the city, which is being pre-
pared, published. 1t is thought that
this sum can be realized by the sale
of the book.
