Mr. David Brown, in his paper before
the Farmers Club, held at St. Clairsville,
asks Why the price of woel is 50 low un-
der the present tariff We would say
that one Of the many reasons, is that too
many of the wool growers wear cotton
clothing. We are in favor of high pro-
tective tariff, yet we say, let the wool
grower become consumer also, and he
will sooTsee the price of wosl advance.

Our township was startled on last
Wednesday morning, on learning that
Ed ward Simpsons home and contents
had been destroyed by fire, and the fam
lily had escaped in their night clothes,
just in time to save them from horri-
bic death. The supposition is that the
fire originated in the dining room, from
not coal falling on the carpet. All the
household effects they had accumulated
in the last 25 years were reduced to ashes
in less than one hour. The house cons
tanned nine rooms, and araong its con-
tents destroyed was five feather beds and
bedding, cabinet organ, considerable
silver ware, several good carpets, gold
watch, clothing of all kinds. and every
thing else necessary for well furnished
house. Mr.. Henry Workman, who was
living with the family, lost everything
he had. Tie house was insured for ST.
600 and conteuts for $500; the loss is es-
timated at s1,SOe. Mr.. Simpsons son
Robert, who escaped with difficulty from
the burning building, after being badly
scorched, is improving slowly, and hopes
are now entertained that he will finally
recover.
Some villain, who has no respect for
the canine family, poisoned our dog last
week; our old musket is loaded up ready
to let loose On the scamp as soon as we
determine his whereabouts. This is the
third good dog we have lost in the past
few years. 1t seems strange the farmers
in this civilized community can not have
the privilege of keeping good dog to
help protect their property.

INTELLIGENCE has been received from
official sources in China that mobs of
Chinese workmen have been attacking
American missionaries, and it is believed
at the headquarters of the Board of For
eign Missions that these outrages fore
shadow others worse to come. The mis-
sionaries themselves have for some time
been apprehensive of trouble with the
natives, whose minds have been inhamed
by reports of the prosecutions to which
the Chinese have been subjected on our
Pacific coast. The hoedlum is becoming
an expensive luxury in our civilization.

TIE Democratic ringsters at Cincin-
natl have suddenly changed front. The
entire session of the Senatorial commits
tee on Saturday was devoted to a dis
cussion of the question whether the
forged returns of precinct A, Fourth
ward, should be photographed. The
Republicans insisted and the Democrats
objected, and an adjournment was final
ly taken without reaching conclusion.
When the committee met Monday the
question was again taken up, and the
Democratic attorney announced that
Trey would withdraw their objection
The returns were then referred to Sena-
tors Van Cleaf and PringIe to procure
Photographic copies. This is another
trick of the tricksters. When the news
that Dalton must go to Jail or take those
retarns to Columbus was flashed to Cin+
cinnati the gang realized that the fight
was over. and they at once changed
their tactics in the hope of saving their
idol from the disgrace of Imprisonment
