A rumor on the streets Monday
to the effect that boy was drowned
in the Kidd pond, caused the TIMES
reporter to hasten to the spot with
haste. jeremiah, son of Ben Frank
lin, had been hauling water, and he
did not come back, search was
made which resulted in finding his
body in three feet of water. Every
effort possible was made to resus-
state the corps and DR.. Blanken-
ship came upon the scene and pro-
nounced life extinct. Thos. Lillard,
Esq, empannelled a jury, which
resulted in a verdict of accidental
drowning. jeremiah was an in
offensive hard working boy, and
his untimely death causes univer-
sal regret.

salt, and propose for sale limited amount OF
stock at $40 per share of 500 each, to obtain
money with which to further and develop these
interests. Below we give the facts that induce
us to enter upon this enterprise:
About the year 1878 Mr.. Cope sank we'll for
the purpose OF finding salt, to the depth of about
400 feet, in the district, and near what 10 known
as Cooks mill At the time very little was
known, perhaps nothing at all in this section OF
petroleum.. We are reliably informed that oil IN
considerable quantities flowed from this well:
but the offensiveness Of smell and the want OF
knowledge of its value together with the fact
that the Odor was 80 disagreeable, and with want
Of money to experiment any further, me proprie-
tor became discouraged and caused him to sban-
d dor the well. iSis y,,l rs nos, Under our con-
troll, by lease and it is our desire to develop it.
We have been to the place had the plug with;

floating on top of the water that had the smell
OF petroleum very strongly o
Our estimate is that it will take about S2oO to
determine whether there is oil in sufficient qua1,

and pledge ourselves that every dollar OF IT shall
be expended in the experiment or effort OF hnd;
ing whatever may be of value thereabout ana
that none of the money shall be paid out for any
ether purpose, in salaries or any other way We
propose that in the event we do not obtain the
money in this way sufficient to sink well or

the matter as of sufficient importance to sub

this enterprise. II the enterprise fails the loss
will be small. If successful, the stock taken will

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1888-10-03

FROM republican standpoint, the
political situation in the state of New
York is extremely interesting and very
satisfactory. The mugwumps, led by
GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS in Harpcr's
Weekly, are championing the cause of
the president and, at the same time,
rcpudiating HILL for governor and adj
vising the so-called independent voters
to support MILLER, the republican
gubernatorial candidate. On the other
hand, large numbers of HILLS sup
porters repudiate Mr.. CLEVELAND and
declare their intention 10 vote for HAIR
RIsoN and MORTON, and poles are being
erected in different localities, from
which float the names of the republican
presidential candidates together with
that of the democratic candidate for
governor. With HILLS friends knitting
CLEVELAND for his mugwumpery, the
mugwumps repudiating HILL for his
corrupt machine politics, and the. re-
publicans all united i'm favor of MILLER
for governor rs well rs for HARRISON
and MORTON, it is more than likely
that both CLEVELAND and HILL will
lose the state and that, in consequence
of the dissension between the simon
pure bourbons and the mugwump dem
ocrats, the next national administration
will be republican.

Name of Bill.
Another Freetrade Roorback.

1t has been currently reported here
in the interest of the freetrade democ-
racy, that South Bend plows could be
purchased in Canada and shipped into
the United States for less money than
they could be bought for of our own
dealers. A letter addressed to the
South Bend Plow Co, by the NORTH
ERNER, elected the following reply:
THE statement circulated by free
trade democrats in your vicinity, that
South Bend plOws can be bought in
Canada at prices under those ruling IN
the United States, is absolutely without
foundation. 1t would seem that the
impression they are trying to make is
that we can, If we want to, sell plows
To Canadians 50 cheap that they can
afford to pay freight and thirty-five per
cent duty, and still sell To farmers at
prices under those asked i'm the United
States, from which it is to be inferred
that we make tremendous profit off
the dealers in the United States This
Is false, as we have never yet, in no
matter how large lots, sold plows to
Canadian dealers at rs low price as
VIC are Sclilip 10 uedleIS mere. Inc
reason why Canadians buy at all, is
because there are no plows made in
Canada that approach American plows,
so that knowing farmers would rather
buy an American pillow at sixteen dol
lars, which price is realized in Canada,
than not to have it. American plows
are not sold for less in Canada than i'm
the United States, simply because a
Canadian dealer cannot buy them with
in two dollars as cheap as an American
dealer can"
Another letter received from j. w
Wisner Il Son, manufacturers of agri-
cultural implements at Brantford, Ont,
addressed to Mr. g. w Myers, states
that they make No. 10, South Bend
pillow which retails there at fifteen dol
lars. The same pillow can be bought i'm
Paw Paw for eight dollars, No. 40 plows
are sold for eleven dollars, and the
very best No. H-2, steel point plows
retail for fourteen dollars. Comment
is unnecessary.

Pension Legislation.

Democratic papers and orators have
n good deal to say about democratic
legislation in favor of the soldier. They
don't say anything, however, about the
pension legislation that has passed the
republican senate and is now hung up
in the democratic house to die, and
which the democratic majority has pre-
vented from being considered by the
use of every parliamentary device to
which they could possibly resort.
And they are very careful to conceal
the real truth in regard to such pension
legislation rs has heretofore been en-
acted Democratic legislative action
speaks palmer, if not louder, than dem
ocratic campaign oratory. A careful
perusal of the following table, prepared
from the official record of congress
will be of interest, especially to old
soldiers:
