ship is gone. Mrs. Catharine
Witwer, relict of David Witwer,
died yesterday at the home OF
her son Jacob, near Horatio, al
the ripe age of above four score
years. She leaves surviving a
large family of children, grand.
and great-grandchildren tomourn
her demise.
Aaron Moul of Columbus and
D. Moul of Pleasant Hill were
visitors here yesterday and at
tended Sunday school at the M.
E. church and afterward visited
their mother in the country near
by, who is quite aged and suffer
ing from Affections incident to
old age.
Mrs. P. B. Miller returned from
Columbus this evening, where
she visited a niece for a few
days.
Last week several automobile
loads Of visitors took in the
Franklin Chautauqua, leaving
here in the morning and return
ing in the evening.
Autoing is quite a fad among
our people, among whom not a
few are owners of this modern
vehicle and seem to enjoy the
luxury of rides in that way huge
ly.
This place will furnish some
part of the attendance at the Re-
publican convention in session
this week at Columbus. The
thought uppermost with many is
in regard to the head of the tick
ct. There seems to be many as
pirants for the place, but so far
it does not appear that any GER
tain one is clearly in the lead and
certain of nomination. The num-
Der willing to sacrifice themselves
on the altar of service for the
good of the state shows a patri-
Otism worthy of imitation, but
will be correspondingly
great until it is finally threshed
out as to whom it will be. Seem
ingly, they are all good men and |
have respective followings, but |
The opinion seems to justify the |
belief that the person who will
inally succeed will be the man
rec from bosses and not the
of any clique or fac
ion. Independence and righte-
are qualifications vastly
VOrth more to the country than
of special interests, of
7hom we have a surfeit, as is
by class legislation and
avoritism. The trend is toward
lvic righteousness and service
the people generally, which is
n omen of better things and the
9sult of the Columbus conven- +
on will, it is predicted, be no d
lception to this onward move "

Mr.. BRYAN,s NERVE.

Mr. Bryan regrets to, announce that
he must again bolt regular Demo
cratic nomination. The victim this
time is Mayor Dahlman,, candidate for
Governor Of Nebraska. Mr.. Bryan
bolts him in sorrow and with an. apol.
ogy, for he and Mr.. Dahlman were
great friends as long as Mr.. Dahlman
would support him, but he;intends; to
cut the excellent Mr.. Dahlman's throat
so as to save his beloved Democratic
party from falling under the influence
Of the liquor interests.
In 1892, when Mr.. Bryan voted for
Popullst Weaver against Grover Cleve-
land, he kept the fact to. himself. In
1904, when he ripped Judge Parker sup

Tawn,ey,s Defeat.

Congressman James Tawney,. of
Minnesota, has been struck by the
wave OF insurgency and in the pri-

before Anderson, a progressive.
Tawney has been one Of the leading
members of the House Of Representa-

Of Speaker Cannon, succeeding the lat
ter to chairman OF the committee on
appropriations and Watchdog of the
treasury. Congressman Tawney stood
firmly by the 'Payne.Aldrich bill and
was one of the leadees of the regulars.
1t was to help Congressman Tawney

Making Salt Lake Fresh.
birmingham News.),

A remarkable engineering feat is
being considered in Utah, the aim be-
ing to convert a portion OF Salt Lake
into a body Of fresh water. This Is
an ancient dream long deemed i'm!
possible of fulfillment, but the present
plan gives promise OF proving success.
full. If it Is, then will be witnessed
n transformation as complete as has
ever been seen upon the waters OF
the West, where irrigation has con
verted barren deserts into fruitful
gardens.
The plan OF the engineers is to
build a dam across the eastern eX.
tremity OF the lake where the princi'
pie streams that feed the body flow
in. This dam is to be several feet
higher than the present water leevl
and the design is to divide the lake
into two parts. The theory is that
the water will flow into the first lake
rise to tho level; OF the dam, and then
tumble into the, other section. Tho
water in the first division will move
constantly and according to the theo
ny OF the engineers, will retain it!
freshness, while that in the lowe
lake fill continue to be briny, as a
present, II the plan proves success
full it is believed that the territor!
adjacent to the lake can be mad'
highly attractive, giving it infinite
possibilities as summer resort.

In Ohio Governor Harmon Is a cam

Of Ohio have an idea that they can
land him for a second time, and shall
they be able to do SC, they intend to
offer him to the National convention.

Ohio. Nominate him and he will
carry the Nation.
Y In New York there is Mayor Cay

brought him into greater prominence
than. he had previously enjoyed. 1t
was everywhere said OF him that he

true enough. There is q strong move

Missouri Democrats pin their faith

ABDUL HAND is So.

CoNSTANTlNoPLE, Sept. 22.-Ab-
dull Hamid H., popularity known as
Abdul Damned, who was sultan OF Tur-
key for thirty-two years, until his OIL
cial head was chopped off by the
Young Turks, is to-day celebrating his
siXty.eighth birthday in the quiet re-
treat provided for him by the Turkish
government. So closely confined Is he
that he is little less than prisoner,
and little authentic news OF him reach
es the outside world. Officially it Is
reported that he is happy and content
ed and really glad to be free from the
cares OF state and to throw off the
fears of assassination which constant
ly tortured him before his fall from
power.
Many other rumors about the de.
posed ruler are In circulation among
the Turks. One is that Abdul iHamid
has been put to death and Is now with
Allah and the Prophet in Paradise.
Other reports are to be effect that Alb.
dull is very much alive, and secretly
preparing to head revolution with
the object Of securing his restoration
to power.
Alive or dead, Abdul Hamid is not
causing the Turkish government near
ly so much concern as are his wives.
More than 700 women claiming to have
been inmates OF Abdul Hands harem
have appealed to the government for
redress Of their wrongs, the total com.
pensation demanded aggregating near;
tlysa million dollars. All compromise
Twas effected by promising to pay the
