The Currency OF 1900 ut Wheel.
ing ana sleubenyIlle.


Mr.. Isaac Shane, Of Ross township,
Jefferson county, Ohio, who is almost u
cen,enarian, has furnished the steuben-
vile Herqld some interesting reminis-
censes, from Which we make this extract
@In the fall Of 1908 my father sent me
across the river to q man by the name oil
Atkinson, who lived on the top OF the
hill, opposite Steubenyille, for q bushel
Of salt, Tor which / paid HIN eightdollars
in silver. lie had brought it from Win
chester, Va. Silver was all the currency
we had for two or three'yearS, when the
settlers got 10 making whisky, which
passed current for every kind Of debt
no one refused to. take ii. Ny father
had contracted TO deliver two barrels
OF whisky 10 somesone who lived a lew
miles below Wheeling, and he sent me
down the river with it. We lashed
the barrels firmly together with a stout
rope and then put them in the water, and
/ got into canoe and towed them down
safely to the destined place and delivered
them to the person 10 whom they were
sent, As coon as the settlers began 10
raise plenty Of rye distilleries sprung up
in all directions, and whisky was as
plenty as the most inyeterate topper could
desire. Every family used it on all occa-
Eiona, log rollings, house raisings, wed:
dings, aud, in fact, every kind Of social
gathering, and the person who refused 10
furnish whisky was considered mean and
stingy. / recollect an anecdote Of one
man who got barrel distilled for his
own use, and made out Of his own rye
After he had got 1t in hiSwagon, the dis.
tiIler remarked to him that he supposed
that that barrel would last him year
"oh, john" he replied, "a barrel Of
whisky don't 90 far in family where
there Is no milk"

Oh, these poor, miserable mortals who
Journey through this life forever longing
for something far beyond their grasp.
Not that striving and longing that makes
life brighter and better, but weary, CONF
planning longing, that makes themselves
and everybody that comes in contact with
them unhappy. Don't we all know per-
sons who are forever fighting battles, and,
in their own Imagination, always losing.

other end OF the world TO hide my sor-
row!" They do not, for one moment,
stop and consider that others have fought
the same battle and lost az often as them.

are thoroughly selfish. But If We were
to tell them 90, what would they think OF
US. They would call US unsympathetic

But she drives it from her by her weary,
selfish complaints, and, yet, she has never
sought the true Peace which gives rest 70
every weary soul, nor does she, amid all
her little trials, think Of that last deep
agony He suffered, that she might be
saved. Oh would that she would take

and found Williams at the house. He ac-
knowledged the deed and was placed under
arrest. A post mortem revealed several
cuts on the head and person, the body was

One of the cuts on the head was in the
inner corner of the right eye, and was evil

which penetrated the right lobe Of the

GONZALES. Cal, October 81.
At the ranch of Messrs. Clough 4 Fisher,
near Gonzales, q difficulty occurred be-
tween Mr. Dart. who drives J. d. Coch-
rams meat wagon, and a Chinese cook.
When Dart arrived at Clough Il Fishers,
he was rather later than usual, and the
Chinaman said something to him about it
in q rather boisterotfs way, and commenced
swearing and calling him names. Dart
knocked the Chinaman down, and got in
his wagon to leave, when the Chinaman
ran into the house and got a shotgun and
came out and fired it at Dart, the shot
taking effect in his left side. The China
man then ran off into the river bottom,
n has not been seen since. although a
crowd was raised as soon as the new was
brought in, but no Chinaman could be
found. There was nobody near the house
when the shooting occurred. Dart, it is
expected, will not o

In CHANGING over the local tickets i'll tho
several counties the editor Of the SENTINEL
notes the names Of many old friends whom
he would be glad to help, with q word Of
Endorsement or encouragement at least,
were it possible to do SO. But the require
ments Of the State canvass are so pressing
that it is found to be almost out of the
question to devote either time or space to
immediate jurisdiction. 1t is hard, how
ever, TO ignore friendships dating away
back to the earlier and purer (politicaD
days Of this coast, and We must be par
doned il we neglect other interests long
enough to hope for the success Of a couple
Of true and tried friends who are before
the people Of Esmeralda county. We re-
fer to Hank Woodruff, the Democratic can
didate for Sheriff Of that county, and l. N.
Farwell, the Democratic candidate for
County Clerk. Here are two as good men
for the positions to which they aspire, re-
spectively, as are to be found in any State
Of this Union. Both are competent, ster-
ling and trustworthy gentlemen, and Dem
ocrats, and both deserve to be elected by
exclamation, were such a thing admissible
under our system of selecting public Of
ficers. We have known each Of them long
and well, and can most heartily indorse
each Of them as coming squarely up to the
JeAersonian test-honest and competent.
II the people Of Esmeralda county act wisely
they will send Woodruff and Farwell to tho
front with sweeping majorities.
