A WAR FOR AN ARMY MULE.

The war In Central America grew
out of the theft of mule. That
Is the story TINT comes from
Puerto Cortez, Honduras, and people
will be prone to believe 1t. so well
loes the story harmonize with the
comic opera character of most Of the
telligerency of that section. Some
Nicaraguan soldiers encamped at Las
Manos. which Is cut in twain by inc
line separating Nicaragua from HON
,uras stole across the border one
night and led the Honduran mule
into their territory. Diplomatic
correspondence and indignation
meetings followed in which charges
land counter changes were made anu
excitement was wrought to hish
pitch. President Bonilla, OF Hon
,duras, seeing trouble ahead, offerea
tn arbitrate, but President Zelaya'
lor Nicaragua, would not. HIS SEN
sibilities and those OF his muie-iiit-
ing. soldiers were grossly shocked,
and nothing but blood would SUI
lace. And 50 they both prepared fof
war.
Honduras has enlisted and equip
ped an army of 10000 men and an
other army OF like size is being re-
'cruited. Nicaragua has done as
much. IL not more. Several skir-
mishes have already been fought and
there is more serious business
ahead. Men have been killed on
both sides. and still Others will be
killed. Property has been destroyed
and debts have been incurred for the
survivors to pay. And the love or
lust for a mule was the origin OF 1t
all.
But let not the mule be too SER
iously blamed. The mule Is only an
excuse; teh real fault lies with the
quarrelsome and ambitious men.
If the humans of Central America
were as harmless and useful as the
army mule, there would be peace and
prosperity throughout the land -

RESIDENTS ARE
ALLOWED NO VOICE.

The lineup of the city council
on the South Prospect street paw
ing has not changed in the least
since the meeting of council one
week ago, as shown by the vote
last evening when an attempt was
|anade to pass the ordinance to
proceed with the improvement to
the third and final reading. Conn
cilmen Setter and Carpenter voted
"NO" cn the proposition, and a
deatl-like silence fell over the as
semblage, broken only by the heavy
breathing of Wilson.
While The ordinance was under
going the formality Of being read,
Mr.. Wilson was busying himself
in paying visits to the desks Of a
number of the councilmen, telling
the faithful just what 10 do in
ease his motion 10 pass the ordin-
ance to the third reading was
killed. M questions were to be
asked, not word was to be
spoken. "Mums the word" and so
it was.
Unless some member of the
council undergoes change Of
heart before next Monday rrening
the ordinance will be adopi", and
the paving from Walnut street to
the south corporation line will be
put down despite the expressed dis
approval Of the residents of that
street and one Of the greatest in
justices ever done to the people of
any street and the people of the
city will have been done. John ia
coby, while addressing the council,
gave expression to the proper spirit
when he said that the resident
property owners on any street were
the proper persons to decide what
improvements should he made. OF
course, ii is next TO impossible for
all the residents of any given street
to agree just what improvements
should be made and just how ii was
to be done; but the majority should
rule. In the ease of the Prospect
street property, all of the resident
property owners are opposed to the
paving, yet all of these are TO be
ignored just because Mr.. Wilson
wants to shove through this piece
Of legislature for the purpose of
affording speculation for the own
rsers of lots along the street. Mr..
Jacoby's remarks slid OFF Mr.. Will
son like water from duck 5 back :.
There is yet hope that some of
the counclmen who have been vot-
ing with Mr.. Wilson for his pet
measure will see the error of their
way and stop the rank injustice
which is being done.

Drift of Comment

Without any assumed modesty
it may be said that the sons and
daughters of Ohio are so popular
and attractive, especially the daugh
iers, that it is becoming unsafe
for them to be abroad, even
when surrounded by friends and
protectors.
Take, for instance, the ease OF
the Duchess of Manchester (the
former charming Miss Zimmeyman
Of Cincinnati) who with her ducal
husband and their er toqlrage, are
doing the Orient in becoming style.
They were at Calcutta when n
number cf festivities were being
rendered 10 the Amir of Afgran-
istan. This great potentate regards
himself as the brother of the srn
and even the worst of his Oriental
detractors concede that he is. Mt
least a half brother of the God
of day. During the festivities Of
the occasion his gaze fell upon the
duchess and forthwith he refused
to recognize the presence Of any
other human creature in all Cal
cntta. No youth of-well. LET ns
say OF Somerford township, Madi-
son county was ever more hopeless
ly smitten than was the august
Amir and Notwithstanding he had
a score or two of wives of his
own, and the duchess had hus-
band, he laid siege to her heart.
As ar evidence of good faith,
and The depth of his passion, he
laid at her feet gems aud jewels
enough to have raisomed king

SLAIN WHILE He SLEPT.
Harvey Yoho Shot to Death by His
Wife and Son.

PARKERSBURG. w. Va. May 2S.-Word
was received here late last night of hor-
rible murder in Richie county, at point
near Mcfarland. in which a mother and
her alleged to have slain the hus-
band and father while he slept.
The victim of the murder was Harvey
Yoho. a farmer who had resided in that vi
entity many years, and his wife Mary
YoRo. and his son John are charged with
the crime. According to the reports re-
ceived here last night, Yoho. after quar-
rel with his wife. in which the son also
participated, went to bed.
1t is said that the mother and son had
threatened to kill him before the day
was over" and no sooner had he fallen
asleep than they stole to his bed room and
fired two shots from revolver. one enter
ing his head and the other his abdomen.
Both son and mother gave themselves up
to the authorities and now in Jail at
Harrisville. the county seat of Richie
county. They acknowledge the murder and
say they are ready to pay the penalty.
Both say that they lived with Yoho as
long as they could. having been subjected
to all sorts of torture for many years.
Yoho was the father of ten children, al of
whom are living.
