The BiGgest Well Yet.

According to the registered pressure the new roaring gas we'll near Canonsburg, Pa., is the largest in the world. The gas looks like a solid piece of blue steel for some distance after it comes out of the pipe. Solid masonry, twelve feet thick, was put in around the top of the we'll to hold the cap on. The tools and rope thrown out were, perhaps, the heaviest of any yet moved in that way. The iron in the tools weighed 3,00O pounds, the wet rope, nearly 2,0O0 feet long, weighed as much more, coiling around the ruins of the derrick like 90 oh,

A DECIDEDLY novel plan of shop-lift- ing has been brought to light in the case of Mary Leonarl and Annie Riley in Philadelphia. Their scheme was to go into store and lift and conceal an article. Then to leave the building and enter another store, where they would purchase something and ask to have the article which they had stolen in the first store wrapped mp with the purchase and tho bundle kept until they should send for it. The next day they would send for their plunGer. The detectives suspected the women for long time, but could in no way fasten case upon them, as nothing was ever found in their possession.

But won't we whoop McRae up in November? Just as well begin to get up the kelter. Tommy; you have got to put it out if you get there.- Prescott Dispatch.
 Wonder if Powell Clayton and the we" gang are furnishing Capt. An sley money to run against MT. McRac, as they did Norwood ?-Prescott Pic ayune.
 Powell Clayton may have been thoughtless enough to endorse Nor wood but he will not be found fool ish enough to spend his money on Ansley: and so far as is the only thing in the way, it would require not more than six-bits to remove him out of the race if indeed such pO- litical root-a-toot might be consider ed in race for congress at all any where or at any time.-Little Rock Republican.

Ansley's Pension Scheme.

The platform of the union-labor party upon which John A. Ansley is running for congress in this district favors the granting of pension to every man that was every honrably discharged from the army and navy of the United States.
 What think the taxpayers of that idea: Let us figure little. Taking the present sum paid for pensions to DISABLED soldiers, and the reports from the army and navy of soldiers discharged, as basis it would re- quire something over five hundred millions of dollars EVERY YEAR to pay these pensions.
 Say wheeler, you who farm with your muscle, did you ever consider how much money it fakes to make five million of dollars!
 Let us see. One dollar in silver weighs 4l3l grains; 1000 grains in apound or near ST to the pound, and sl TOO to the 100 pounds, mak- ing $ ,000, ,00o weigh 5o,000, and re- quiring three cars of eighty two feet in length to transfer it.
 Five hundred million dollars, the amount required by the union labor party EVERY YEAR to pay pension would weigh 29,500, GOO pounds and require lj.000 cars, S2 feet long to transport it making train twenty two and one half miles in length.
Nevada County picayune., 1888-10-31

Then again, it takes one man, who counts a dollar every second, work ing ten hours a day without stopping to eat, drink or ''wood up," 2S days to connt S1, 100000. Thus, under Ansley's policy it would require 300 men 2S days, without rest, to count out the pension money that he wants paid annually to every honorably dis charged sailor and soldier of the l.. $. army, FOUR HUNDRED AND NINE TY NINE MILLION of which would go into the northern states. leaving only one million in the south where but few discharged federal soldiers and sailors resides.
 Yet Ansley says that plank is un- important.
 What think you, taxpayers, of it's importance!
 Do you want to tax yourselves for that purpose?
 Do you citizens. wheelers of Ar kansas want to tax yourselves to send S499 ,00O, ,00O to the northern states, and to keep only one million in the south.
 If you do not, vote against Ansley in November.
 These are startling figures, but they are true, and yet Ansley and the union labor party have the check to ask the votes of the taxpayers in the state of Arkansas. To ask the people of the south to impoverish themselves to enrich the north.
 It is the most important plank in the union labor platform. It is one that every taxpayer should consider and after considering should not hes itate to cast his ballot against such an outrageous proposition.

The simon-pure Republicans won't vote for Ansley and anarchy" says the Texarkana Independent.- "Anslcy and anarchy" is good. - They go together naturally. But the Independent is wrong when it says the 'simons" will not vote for Ans ley. They would vote for Old Nick himself in order to beat the Demo- crats. Ark, Democrat,
 The Independent Is correct; no 'simon-pure Republican"--no Re- publican of principle and honor-will or can vote for Ansley, for anything as against anybody. We know of several snch, right in the town of Prescott. not one of whom will do so. Yes, the Independent is quite correct. while the pemQcrat greatly and we think @ratuitously nuder-cs- inmates the true "simon-pure Repub- lican." We claim to be one of that sort oursef and as such we support eel Eagle over Ansley-~the mere can didacy of whom is disgrace to the state. to say nothing of what his election would be. No honorable and unprejudiced man, of any party, can or will vote for him. Little Rock Republican.

COL. E. A. WARREN WRITES OF
 PRESCOTT.

Col. E. A. Warren, in writing of his recent visit to Prescott. in last weeks Texarkana Indepent, said:
 Tuesday afternoon in company with Messrs. J, D. Cook and Sheriff Blythe. the editor of the INDEpEN- DENT went to Prescott, where, by re- quest he, at night addressed the Cleveland and Thurman club. Mir. Cook also spoke, and we can truly say that for many years we have never heard more able or logical speech. He discussed the tariff, and frem facts and figures showed conclusively that the policy of the democratic par ty was the onl y policy that the great masses of our people should support.
 Leaving national politics Mir. Cook took up the utterances of Capt. Ans ley, and the loud huzzas of the audi ence, when he referred to the emi- nent services of Mir. McRae, showed conclusively that the people of Ne vada county intend in November to redeem themselves, and we verily be- lieve that McRae's majority in that county will be at least 200.
 Upon our arrival at Prescott we were met by many old friends and after an hours talk with friends at the office of Hon. w. E. Atkinson, the able attorney-general elect of the state of Arkansas, buggies came and a ride over the town and suburbs was greatly enjoyed. Returning from the ride, our Texarkana party was turn ed over to Moses Winter, whose ho- tel everybody knows. and where we had all the accommodations that only a lavish proprietor could bestow. At 1:30 o clock, Mir. Atkinson and AL bert Milncr came to the hotel and escorted the party to the court house where an excellent brass band had al- ready called an audience. And right here we want to say that the brass band of Presctt is an ornament to the town, and it is a shame that we have none in Texarkana.
 Arriving at the court house, we found an immense crowd, not only of sovereign voters but ladies who had come out to welcome us and it made our hearts glad to meet them, and when we say that there was not stand Ing room in the court house, we mean it, as it is fact that over half of the crowd could not get in. We are not going to tell about the speech es. The editor of this paper spoke first, then Mir. Cook and his speech was one of the best we have heard during the campaign, while the speech of Capt. Blythe was greatly appreci- ated by that young widow.
 We must, in connection with our visit to Prescott, speak of the Glee Club. Tt is a daisy" and never have we heard finer singing or better music. The club is led by Hon. W. E. Atkinson, and over dozen voices follow in singing democratic anthems. and we tell you, they carry enthusi- asm and hope in all they sing.
 Prescott, God bless her, is a grand little town, filled with big hearted 1 people. It is the home of McRae !; Atkinson lives there, Smootc, the poet and lawyer of south Arkansas is there, and so is Ansley, but we do hope Smoote will pardon the connec- ! ton.

Congressman Lanham's district in Texas contains over l22 ,000 square miles. It is as large as the combined area of Maine, New Hampshire, Yer mont. Massachusetts, Rhode Island Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware Maryland, and Ohio. This seems in- credible, but it is true, as the reader may ascertain for himself. These states are represented in congress by sixty-one members, and the same area in Texas by Lanham, This dis trlct embraces the western and north western part, nearly half of the state which is but sparely settled. Many of the counties are as yet morgan ized. If we add to the ten already named the great state of New York ', Pennsylvania and Indiana, the whole thirteen would still lack 12,00O square miles of equaling Texas. It is larger than the whole of France with her 36, ,000, ,o0O people. It is larger than England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales combined There are three counties in Mir.
