Big BRIDGE
IS DYNAMlTED
STRUCTURE BLOWN up PRoeA.
ABLY BY STRIKERS.
ESCAPE IS UNDETECTED
Many Threats Made by Strikers In
Isss Grievances Mere AdIusted-Dy-
namiters Reach Bridge and Prepare
Charge Under Eyes Of Watchmen.

New York, May 21.-A new bridge
under construction on the Harlem
branch Of the New York, New maven
& Hartford railway at Bay Chester
was wrecked by Dynamite today. A
charge of SO pounds Of the explosive
was discharged under the first span
destroying girders and practically
wrecking the whole structure.
Today's outrage followed an unsuc
cessful attempt yesterday to wreck q
bridge on the same road spanning the
Harlem river.
The bridge was modern steel
structure which had been erected
over the tracks near Bay Chester
station. It was built by the schu'
maker company Of Philadelphia. and
for many months had been the scene
Of almost constant labor troubles.
It is alleged that striking workmen
have made frequent threats to blow
up the bridge unless their grievances
were adjusted, and as a result two
watchman have been on guard at the
bridge every night. Yesterday when
the futile attempt was made to de.
stroy the other bridge another watch
man was added to the force. Last
night they patrolled the embankment
at both ends Of the structure without
seeing sign to indicate that every
thing was not all right.
Undetected by Watchmen.
Just as dawn was breaking there
came fash near the first span. fol.
lowed by terrific report and the
grinding and tearing Of tho great
steel girders. Two Of the watchmen
who were within 50 feet Of the ent
Of the bridge were thrown to the
ground. Hundreds Of windows in the
vicinity were broken. AS the watch
men scrambled to their feet they saw
two men .dashing away through the
darkness. A fusillade Of shots were
sent after the fleeing men but none
Of them reached the mark and the
men escaped.
It is believed that Il will take two
more months to repair the damaged
bridge.

SEED CORN
FOR THE SEASON
OF 1908

In all probability high grade
seed corn is scarcer In Ohio this
season than for many years. The
principal cause for this is of course
the cold, wet growing season of
last year, together with the cool,
cloudy fall. Had we had a different
October and November, even, corn
which did mature, or came close
to maturity, would now be in very
different seed condition. AS mat
tiers stand great care must needs
be exercised or 1908 will find Ohio
with one of the poorest corn crops
in years.
Very many growers all over
Ohio, and particularly in the
northern half of the state, will
have to buy their seed corn.
Such growers are confronted with
a serious question, namely: Will
this purchase seed prove adapted
to the new locality2 Will it ma
ture? And still more serious
question confronts all corn grow
ers; Will my corn grow2
The Ohio Experiment Station is
offering some suggestions along
both lines in Circular "A which
may be had, including instructors
and record blanks for conducting
termination test by addressing

DOCTOR USES D. D. D. IN
HIS PRACTICE.
Eminent Physicians Says
This Great Liquid Pre-
cription is Certain
Cure for Eczema.

Still another Eczema specialist
comes forward in enthusiastic
praise of d. D. D. Prescription, the
wonder external remedy which
cures Eczema and other similar
diseases like magic. He is DR.. G.
B. Holmes of Silver City, Miss,
and in summing up his I'M
pressions of the startling cures ID.
D. d. has effected, he says.
81 have been using your D. d.
D. for four years with gratifying
results. 'Tis as near a specific
for Herpes, Eczema, Psoriasis,
ect., as is Quinine for Malaria. "
DR.. Holmes is one of hundreds of
physicians who use d. d. d, in
their daily practice. The D. d,
D. Company allows physicians to
use this remedy with the under
standing that they tell their pa
tients what it was that cured
them when the terrible itch has
been wiped out, the skin healed
and the raw wound covered over
with soft white skin. d. d. ID. is
not nasty paste to smear the
skin and clothing, but it is clear
liquid. 1t is advisable to use d.
d. ID. soap in connection with d.

A Doubtful Nomination
cleveland Leader Republican.

The one jarring note in the res
ults of the balloting at yesterdays
state convention is the nomination
of Charles G. Green for the state
treasurer. Mr.. Green. while un-
der no suspicion whatever as to
his personal honesty and integrity
is openly charged with gross care
lessness in the handling of the
state funds. AS a sub-ofiicial of
the state treasurer's office, now
under investigation, he must bear
share of the blame if the present
scrutiny of the affairs of the de-
partment reveal carelessness or ir-
regularties.
Under such conditions the vot-
ers of Ohio will do we'll to with.
hold their support of the Green
candidacy unless Mr.. Green can,
before the campaign closes, show
very clean bill of health. And
under the circumstances 1t will
have to be very clean, indeed.
1t is most unfortunate that the
Republican delegates were unable
to defeat this one doubtful candi-
date.

THE FAILURE
OF THE
CLOVER CROP

There are two principal reasons
tor the failure of the clover crop,
which is becoming increasingly
frequent in eastern and southern
OhiJ. The first is exhaustion of
the soil supply of lime, the second
is fungous disease of the plant.
In old fields lying upon sandstones
in which the clover makes a weak
and patchy growth, mostly dying
out the next winter after seeding
and being replaced by sorrel, a
deficiency of lime is to be suspect
ed, and farmers who are located
upon such lands should write for
a bulletin on lining the soil, pub
lished by the Ohio Experiment
Station, at Wooster.
Where the clover fails on lime
stone soils disease is probably the
cause, and for this no remedy is
known except to substitute
mammoth or alsike clover for the
common red. The alsike has
proven very good substitute ut
the Ohio Station. Its seed is
much smaller than that of red
clover, and at present is lower In
price. A bushel of alsike will sow
nearly as much land as two bushels
of red or mammoth. The alsike
is not only more resistant to
disease, but also endures soil
acidity better than the red, and
the Ohio Station has adopted the
plan of mixing the two varieties,
On very acid soils, that have not |
been lined and which should be
sown to clover this spring, it is
pro BILE that it would be economy
to sow the alsike clover alone; but
all such soils should be lined
at the earliest practicable date,
for the benefit of other crops as
well as clover.

TRIBUTE To A
PRECIOUS LIFE

Mrs. Mary j. Randall Sands wa'
born near New Plymouth, Ohio
July 20, 1888 and peacefully passed
away at Logan, Sunday afternoon
March 1, 1908, in the seventy. fiftl
year of her age.
Between these two given dates
many most important and inter,
esting events occurred. On Janu-
ary 10, 1854, she was married to
Col. A. G. Sands, within few
weeks the young couple united
with the M. E. Church at New
Plymou th.
In the fall of 1861 Col. Sands
was appointed, by President
Lincoln, U. S. Marshall for the
Southern District of Ohio, and at
once the family moved to Cincin-
natl. In that city, for thirty years
Mrs. Sands shared the responsible
ties and eXcitements of her hus-
bands important and influential
career.
She transferred her church men,
bership from New Plymouth to the
great Trinity M. E. church of
Cincinnati, and became one of the
most active and useful members of
the church. The pew number as
recorded in her hymnal is 40. DR..
Earl Cranston, now Bishop Grams.
ton was then her pastor.
The family had previously, for
a short time, attended the Metho-
dist church ON the cor. of Finley
and Bay Miller streets, when DR..
Starr, now Chaplain of our state
prison was pastor. In 1893 the
family came to Logan, and on July
IA, 1901 Mrs. Sands had her
church membership transferred to
this place, and here she has lived
in the quiet fellowship of her
friends in the church and town
until death came and sweetly bore
her to her long home.
The unostentatious quality of
Mrs. Sands noble life was seen in
a very sweet way in one of her last
acts: On the inside cover page of
her hymn book was posted slip
of paper upon which was written
in her very recent handwriting the
hymn that was just sung-"Asleep
in Jesus" and this verse of scrip
ture from John XIV: ,, 81 go to
prepare place for you"
In this quiet way she had eX-
pressed her wishes for this hour.

Mrs. Sands knew Jesus who ha
uttered these words and she be-
lieved him.
She lived a life of prayer and
trust and hope.
AS wife none could be more
devoted.
| AS the mother of one son and
one daughter, she was most indul-
gent, kind and good.
Toward everybody she had only
the most kindly feeling. No neigh
Dor ever appealed to her in vain,
and no needy one was ever turned,
hungry from her door.
1t was my privilege to share in
the distributions of her generous
hand, and kindly spirit. On every
New Years morning for these past
six years, Mrs. Sands rememb bered
the parsonage with large basket
of choice fruits, candies and nuts.
This year the gift came on the
christmas day.
In many places about her room
have been found written on small
slips of paper the same verses, ex-
pressive of her lovely nature !:
"Help me to feel anothers woes,
And hide the faults see;
What mercy to others show
That mercy shows to me-"
"With sorrow let us own our errors past
And make each day a critic on the last
| never knew any one to more
thoroughly appreciate and to more
enjoy visit from her pastor. She
always wanted prayer and always
seemed refreshed by the moments
of devotion.
When her grandson, DR.. Boyd
Rochester paid his last visit be-
fore starting to the far away
south land, they two kneeled to-
gether in the library and she dedi-
Gated him and committed him to
care of the Divine Father. A year
and a half has passed since that
sacred hour and the chair at which |
Boyd kneeled was not moved until
after Mrs. Sands was received in
to the spirit world.
Her last care every evening was
to repeat the twenty-third Psalm,
the Lords Prayer and to commit
the interests of her soul into HIS
keeping.
In this attitude of mind she was
when the messenger came and she
was carried to receive the greet
ings of the Savior she had loved |
so long. T. b. WHITE.

LETTER FROM
JESS VAN HORN

Tucson, Ariz., March 3, 1905.
Friend C,-I received your card
few days ego and was glad to
hear from you and that you were
, alright. We are all feeling fine
and are enjoying the fine climate
here, and the winter has been
more like summer to us. We have
had five or six cloudy or rainy
days this winter, and it has only
been cold enough to freeze two or
three times, and only a little at
that, and most every day the sun
has shown all day and it just
happened that one of the days
that the sun did not shine was on
the 2nd. of February, "Ground
Hog day.. On the 18th. of Feb
ruary they had about three-inches
of snow here, something unusual
for here, and everybody was out
with their kodaks, all wanted
| pictures of it. Some people that
live here all their lives think 1t
impossible to be so much snow
and cold weather like we have at
home. We have had several days
that it was S5 in the shade, and
you know the sun gets pretty hot
now. | have not slept in the
house this winter, slept on a
screened porch and like it. /
think [ will have to build one
when / come home. / weigh 17O
pounds, that is gain of 26 pounds
since / left home, and about Is
pounds more than / ever weighed
in my life, and think if | keep on
improving as | have / will be al
right by June. Mrs. Van Horn
has gained about 20 pounds and
still gaming, weight 1852 pounds.
Harry is going to school and get
ting along fine. He don't have
any Asthma at all this winter and
he always had it at home in the
winter. Carl has just been roughing
it around and taking care of the
pony, seems we'll but don't gain
any weight. We expect to stay
here until school is out, that will
be sometime in June, and will go
from here to Los Angeles and see
the southern part of California,
and will try and get home by the
1st. of July, but think we might
spend another winter here, it all
depends how | am after am home
awhile.
Have met several people from
Ohio here. Joe Patterson and
family were here and stayed about
six weeks, but they got back home
the Goth. of last month. Dick
Hart, formerly of Logan, has been
here for several years, has been
out to see us several times, was
out last Saturday, and was telling
us he was going to start east next
Monday, and would be in Logan
for some time, and more than like
ly you will see him, His wife was
going with him also. We still
get the DENooRAT-SENTINEL and
noticed you took the first prize at
the Anniversary of the Elks.
My sister Nell and her husband,
Charley Weaks, have been here
with us for about four weeks now
and are going to Los Angeles to-
morrow for short stay, and will
stop here on their return, and
expect to go home some time next
month. He is railroad engineer
at Columbus.
We all like it here and never
get home-sick. The boys want to
stay here but would rather be in
Ohio, only for the climate.
Give all my old friends my best
wishes. / remain as ever yours.

New Lexington's Popular
Lawyer Wins Out.

The long drawn out legal contro
versy over the allowance of attorn-
ey fees to T. d. Price, for services
in the condemnation suits, was
finally decided by the Supreme
Court, Tuesday.
Judge Hynus allowed fees to
Mr.. Price, on May 20, 1904, to
which the railroad company took
exceptions. The matter was car
ried to Common Pleas court, and
Judge Wood reverersed the Pro-
bate court. The case was then
carried to the Circuit court, where
the probate court was affirmed,
and on Tuesday the Supreme court
affirmed the Circuit court. The
fees allowed Mr.. Price by the de-
cision are as follows, in cases
named.
GAINESVILLE, Marietta & Parkers-
burg Railway company, VS.. Felix
Hughes and Nettie Hughes,
81, IT'S, 90; same company VS.. Star
