Washington, July 28, 1899 President McKinley will enjoy his well-earned vacation all the more because of the knowledge that lie left public business n a very satisfactory condition. lie has secured a t.ian for secretary of war n the person of Hon. Kliliu Utiot, who will tuke charge of the department August 1, against whom no word of criticism lias been said even by Ins partisan opponents; Secretary liny has succeeded in getting the troublesome askan boundary question fairly on the road to an early diplomatic settlement;- more than half of the volunteers wanted for the Philippines have enlist ed, and General Otis has cabled that so many of the volunteers already in the Philippines wish to re-enlist, that a third regiment two have already been enlisted -can be enlisted from then?. The length of the president's stay on Lake ('liainplain will depend upon Mrs. McKinley's health and upon the state of public business. Representative Lundis, of Indiana, who was in Washington this week, looking after some business for hi constituents, said of the situation in his state: "Our people are too well iatisfled with the prosperity under this administration to desire a change. Everybody is happy and prosperous Farmers are paying oil their mort. gages and loaning money. They have seen that the price of wheat is not dependent upon the price of silver, and they have abandoned the belief that free coinage is necessary for good times. If the democrats have a spoke left in the wheels of "their political chariot, I do not know it. I don't be lieve one hundred democrats will march to the same music in any county in Indiana. Expansion is very popular in Indiana, especially among the coun try people. Tne farmer generally likes to hold on to nil he can get, and carries that idea in nationul matters The democrats will make a great mis take if they attack the administration for determining to hold all we have in the Philippines. , Notwithstanding l5ryau'n attempt to get a'l the Kentucky democrats to sup port Goeble, Kentucky democrats who have been in Washington thiB week ad in it (hat the state will probably go republican. Uepresentative Berry said that it seemed probable a new conven tion would be held and a ticket headed by ex-Governor lirown be nominated by independent democrats, and that i that probability become a fact the re publicans would almost surely carry the state. Senator Elkins, who was once secre tary of war himself, had this to say of his retiring successor: "Secretary Al ger has been compelled to endure series of undeserved, not to say brutal assaults. He did not deserve the harsh things which were said of him but he bore them bravely, standing manfully under the nbuse which might otherwise have been thrown at the president. Time will vindicate him There will be a reaction in his favor. I say these things all the more readily because Secretary Alger and I have not been of the same way of thinking in our piii'ty. I am no apologist for him I do not want to bo drawn into any controversy, but 1 hope I may never hesitate to do justice to any man Secretary Alger has gone to New York on private business and will not re turn until next Tuesday, when he will formally turn over the war department to Secretary Koot. The latter was in Washington several days this week and nothing but favorable words are heard from those who met him. The slight changes announced thi week in the plans of the battleships Maine, Missouri, and Ohio, now in th course of construction, by the navy board of bureau chiefs, were not made necessary by errors in the original plana, as the yellow journals insist upon publishing. They were mad simply to increase the efficiency of the vessels, by giving them a speed of 18 knots, instead of 10, as under the orig nal plans. The contractors agreed to the changes and made valuable sugges tioiis to the board. That is t ho whul story. The or iginator of the story that Sec retnry Gage was not legally secretary of the treasury because he owns stock in the Chicago National bank of which he was president before he entered the cabinet, ought to hire himself out as a finder of mares' nests. There is no law debarring holders of national bank stock from becoming secretary of the treasury, and us a matter of fact there has probably not been a secretary of the treasury since the national bank ing law was enacted who did not own some of this stock, for the very simple reason that it would be almost if not quite impossible to find a man compe tent to discharge the duties of the sec retary of the treasury who does ne t hold a financial interest, if not an ac tive connection, with a bank. He must be a finanoier, and the ablest financiers of this and all other coun tries are found In the banking business. ElyrU, July 28. Lei Morse, one of the trustees of Elyri; J township, died Inst night aged 87 ye.irs. Mr. Morse came to Elyria over lxty years ago, and has always been, regarded as an honorable, upright nicA.

I was on the operating table from 2 o'clock to 5 o'clock, before a location was made, but am doing line ; the wound is about healed and doing nicely. In the Trenches, I'asay, June 7. I am still alive and well. It is just one year ago today that I enlisted, but inside of six months more I hope to be of territory, where we went into camp at 8 o'clock and at 1 o'clock the Filip inos made an attack. We did not ad vance, but ought until uajngnt, men at 4:30 we charged their trenches. I became exhausted by the heat at II 'clock, but. our boys were still after them. 1 was brought into the regi mental hospital and given ice baths all last night, This morning I am feel ing pretty fair, and I hope to go back to my company in a couple of days.

P. Wilson, director of the Philadelphia Museums and director-general of the National Export Exposition, the main build ing being shown in our last week's issue, received his early train ing through his own efforts and in the common and higher schools of Michigan. His taste for botany and natural history was consid erably fostered bv a course of study in the Agricultural College of Michigan. At a later date he received a degree from Harvard Uni versity, where he was instructor in botany for several years. lie was born in Oxford, Oakland county, in the northern part of Michigan, which was then practically a wilderness of forest, The nearest neighbors were tribes of Indians. His early life was spent in farming. At a later date he erected a large plant in th West for manufacturing agricultural implements and machinery. In lS'J.l he conceived the idea of founding a Commercial Muse urn with the raw product exhibited by different nations at , the World's Fair, at Chicago. He secured the authority of the city of Philadelphia, and succeeded in having donated to the proposed mu seum the large collections exhibited by nearly every country, espec ially the Spanish-American countries. Dr. Wilson is a careful worker, and it is through his care and forethought largely that the successful plan of the organization of the Philadelphia Commercial Museum has been carried out. The National Export Exposition is under the direction of the Commercial Institute and Franklin Museum. Dlt. HUOGTVS WORM CURE. A pleasant cure for worms. Never fails. 25c.

A man has not only to fight agninst the possibility of what n woman find out, but also what she dreams about him. If a woman is truly fond of her hus band she believes he is "coming down with something" every time he falls off in his feed. Women will trust their daughters with men under conditions in which they would not trust their husbands with other women. When a girl laughs and looks pleas ant when she sees her steady talking to a woman she dislikes, she thinks what a great actress the world would have gained has she gone on the stage. An Atchison woman who has worked hard all her life in order that her fam ily mignt nave something saved up is now worn out and dying. Those who have a good time as they go along are the right kind of philosophers. A girl's idea of disloyalty is to keeji a secret from a friend. When a wife is away from home she reads her husband's letters through carefully to lind something upon which suspicion may alight. Kxpenil the KohiI Tax. Medina county has entered with en ergy upon the macadamizing of roads under the Allen county plan. For this purpose a tax was levied to be spent in making as much good road as it will provide. Seventy-five teams are now at work on the road running west from Medina. The same tux was levied in this county this year, but nothing has so far been heard of a movement to ma cadamize any of Lorain county's roads. When tlie muddy season comes again, the people will want to know the whys and wherefores. Lorain Times. Spring floods.

A well known contractor of Cleve land has a son, still under 20, who has been doing the run-away from home act since he attained his twelfth year. The "old man" has always been called upon to fetch the young chap back from remote points. None of the hard luck propositions up against which the boy has started, while having fun with himself in thiB way, has taught him a permanent lesson, probably for the simple reason that he has always found it too easy a matter to get home by the simple process of writing his futher for the price of a ticket. He went away a month ago and his father didn't hear from him until yesterday. Then the old man got a dispatch dated Hastings, Neb. The dispatch ran : "Am on the hog. Wire me $60 for ticket home." Joe. The old man went to the telegraph office, got a blank and tent the follow ing reply : "Eat the hog."
