FORAKER's CONSOLATION.

Cox Rule I'm Ohio.

Cox Rule I'm Ohio.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
Not few newspapers. independent and
Republican. are congratulating Senator
Foraker on his defeat in Ohio. The coun-
try is beginning 10 recognize what Ohio
has known for some time-that the Taft
managers. for the sake Of a clamorous
Taft Endorsement betrayed the Repubh-
can party Of the State into the hands OF
the bosses. The United States sees Will
lam VI. Taft. the man whose speech at
Akron in denunciation OF George B. Cox
contributed materially 10 the election of
a Democratic governor OF Ohio, in the
attitude of accepting his Ohio o. X from
the hands OF this same Cox. reinstated
through the connivance or active aid OF
the Taft managers,
Foraker. who never achieved the repu-
tation of not being a politician, who
never worked for such a reputation,
stands at present in better light than
does Taft. He had nothing TO do with
the Taft-Vorys- Brown-GuiIbert con-
vention-was practically repudiated by it..
in fact. Should disaster come. as seems
likely II the Ohio Democrats nominate a
worthy ticket, Mr.. Foraker viii have
much cause for satisfaction.
The Washington Herald comments at
length upon this situation It believes
that. the defeat OF the Republican ticket.
predicted by many Ohio Republican news
papers, is by no means impossible Even
in a Presidential year Ohio can be carried
against Cox and Brown if the Democrats
are brought TO see the necessity Of throw
ing or their own bosses and becoming
the champions OF independence rather
than of petty partisanship.

Last evening an entire new bill was
put on the Star Theatre, by the

The great Travelle, assisted by Miss
Lillian Landers in their expert pistol

and should not be missed. Travelle
is the absolute master shadowist in

Jim Rowe, the tramp comedian is
good. Jim needs no introduction to
an Astoria audience. Marie McCourt,
the dainty soubrette, does some excel

from Montana, is fully up to the ex-
pectations of the audience and the
illustrated songs, Somewhere" is re-
ceived with loud applause as sung by

ACT OF AN INSANE
Man
MAN BECOMES DEMENTED
AND ASSAULTS RELATIVE
THEN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
BOTH DOING WELL AT THE
HOSPITAL.

A sad case Of attempted homicide
and suicide occurred in Uniontown
on Sunday afternoon which resulted
in serious wounds being inflicted on
the victim, and on the assailant who,
at last accounts, was in a prccarious
condition.
From the best accounts obtainabic
Vaino Riippa was visiting his cousin
Konrad Koskcla, and both were dis
cussing old school days, and their
boyish experiences, when suddenly
KoskcIa, who had knife In his
hands, attacked Mr.. Riippa with
the weapon and attempted to cut hi
throat, succeeding in inhicting =
severe cash in same Seeing the re-
suits OF his attack, in an insane
frenzy, the assailant then attempted
10 commit suicide. Using the same
weapon he slashed his own throat,
and then struck himself in the abdo-
men, in all attempt to disembowel
himself which he practically succeed
ed in doing.
koskela's brother hearing the COM
motion entered the room ard grasping
the situation, secured a broom and
knocking the weapon from his broth
er's hand overpowercd the weakened
man. The ambulance was immediate
ly secured and both men were taken
TO the hospital where immediate at
tention was given them. Prompt at
tention and good care has evidently
saved the lives OF both, as, at late
hour last night, both were doing well
and on the road to recovery. The
operations necessary were successful,
and they passed restful night on
Sunday.
Koskella, who is an industrious,
steady man, and who has been en-
ployed in Wilson's boat yards, has
shown morbid disposition for the
past week, and il is more than likely
that at the crucial moment, during the
visit OF his cousing his mind gave
way and the attempted murder anc
suicide was the result. The unfor,
tunate circumstance Is regretted by
all who know both parties and the
hopes given out that both will recover
are gratefully received by the friends
of both.
