V. ashington — Faring forth from his
old Kentucky home a youth of the
name of '..ade H. Ellis appeared on
he Cincinnati horizon in the early
eighties. He soon engaged himself
in chasing the elusive local item for
a Mtiptper there. In the little Jour-
nals.iC v,orld of that Ohio city they
s.i.l teh what a hard time young
Eiiis had. He frequently found him-
self In the awful presence of the local
editor, trying to expiaiq how the item
had eluded him.

Chief fo Police R C Lee, of McAl-

following the dismissal J. B. McCas-

fill the vacancy.

The supreme court has ordered a re-
count in the county seat election of
McIntosh county, as demanded by the
petition of Eufaula. The successful
candidate on the face of the returns
was Checotah. Charges of fraud
were preferred by the rival town. At-

Through the settlement of a depre-
dation claim arising from acts of the
Union army during the civil war, Mr.
and Mrs David A. Brame, of Durant,
are to receive $20,000. Mrs. Brame is
a daughter of the late Anthony Can-
non, who during the war had his
property destroyed near Vieksburg,
Miss. lie was a Union sympathizer.
That registration of voters for
county seat elections is not necessary
is the holding of Assistant Attorney
General Reeves in reply to an inquiry
from Hughes county. He states that
the provisions of the law requiring
each voter to make affidavit at the
pollf that he is a qualified elector was
ct^dently Lateuded by the law mak-
ers as a substitute for the registra-
tion requirement which applies to
senartl and rrlajary election?.

in hunting news, he had done better

after President Roosevelt and Presi-
dential Candidate Taft were in need
ol an apostle of terse and pleasing
sentences. Such a one could be util-
ized in national platform building.
1 hey sent for Ellis. They came,
joined In the consultations, and Hiked
away to the sad sea waves of Virginia
Beach. There he composed the more
important portion of the platform.
During a lull in the stressful days of
the Chicago convention he confided to
a friend that he wrote his best after
a plunge into old ocean.
And now after his name has been
much featured for a few weeks in
the political headlines, the erstwhile
Cincinnati reporter from Covington,
Ky., is discussed as the attorney gen-
eral for the next administration, it
is e\en whispered that he may come
Into his own In advance of numerous
Ohio faithfuls and may not have
to wait for the new president to re-
view the inaugural parade on Pennsyl-
vania avenue. That Is probably un-
true. No one In Washington is ready
to believe that Attorney General
Bonaparte will relinquish an office of
which he is very much enamored.
But Ellis may be, some say will be,
Bonaparte's successor.
In 1902, when he was near the end
of six years' service as assistant cor-
poration counsel of the Queen city,
some one was wanted to draft the
municipal code which the Buckeye
legislature was to enact. Ellis, with
his reputation for balancing words
splendidly, was chosen. He did the
work admirably. There were many
personal liberty advocates in Cincin-
nati whom the Republic's did not
' want to offend, but the convictions
I other populous classes of the commu-
nity had to be considered. Ellis, hold-
ing the office tliut President Hayes
had once held In Cincinnati, dressed
the code up In the most attractive
verbiage He was widely applauded
by 1 lie Republican*
Ho left Cincinnati for u time, but
] returned and Interested himself In
! politics. At first he was very inde-
pendent. He did not like George Cox,
the Cincinnati boss, who, according
! to the orthodox Republican Idea In
| that town, can do no wrong. The

editorship of ihe Cincinnati Tribune
lie lliied the editorial chair for two
years—till 1897—when he was elect-
id corporation counsel. Then he be-
gan to embark on a promising career.
He was so successful in drafting the
Cincinnati municipal code that the
Republicans made him attorney &en-
eral of the state in 1 y04 and he Is
still holding that job.
A CYCLONE FREAK.

New York City.—On June 4 last the
Inhabitants of Buffalo county, Ne- i
i braska, and particularly of the town of
Kearney, were besieged by uo less
1 han seven tornadoes. We are in-
debted to Edward C. Bricker for the j
accompanying photograph of one of
the curious effects produced by one of
these, and for the following brief In-
formation, says Scientific American.
That a number of houses should 1
have been wholly and in part destroyed j
is naturally to be expected of any cy-
clone that is at all violent. But that
it should pick up a caster from a table,
twist off the handle and drive the
spindle through the branch of a wal-
nut tree is surely no common occur-
rence. Mr. Bricker assures us that be-
fore the storm the caster found a
place on the table of Mr. G. F. Franks,
that it was intact with the bottles in
their intended positions; yet after the
tornado the base was found in a wal
nut tree limb, exactly as It is shown
in the accompanying photograph. The
wind had unscrewed the top and taken

Mrs. Mary E. H. Rouse, of Cam-

I bad a bad fall and It

Severe pains in my

flesh and grew too
weak to work. Though constantly

cured until I began using Doan's

quickly, and in a short time I was
completely cured. 1 am now in ex-

A few weeks ago some boys were

the kitchen and in a very cross man-

One boy, who had gone to get a drink
came back and found the others mak-
ing ready to leave; he asked, wonder-
ingly, "What is the matter?" and an-
other one calmly answered, "the game

Ministers and Their People
The old Idea that a minister should
occupy a place apart from his charge

sentiment of a "practical age" and the
so-called institutional church of the
cities Is but one manifestation of this
idea In the city the method by which
