OUR MINERAL SPRINGS.
The Allison Water to be Placed on
General Sale at Once.

The well known Allison Mineral
Water will at once be placed on
sale throughout the country at a
reasonable price. A prominent
wholesale dealer in various bever-
ages has the enterprise in hand and
will push it to success.
1t has also been suggested that
the naturally beautiful grounds sur
rounding the spring be improved
for summer resort purposes. A
syndicate has its eye on the prop
erty and will, in all probability,
make an offer for it. If the spring
property and the beautiful strip of
shaded grass land below it are i'm
proved no better location for fine
summer hotel can be found in the
country. The entrance to the
grounds is very high, sloping grad
ualiy downward to a broad level.
A clean, sparkling, rock-lined
brock flows diagonally through the
tract, aud a splendid place for boat
ing and bathing could be easily
constructed.
The location from every stand
point is thoroughly charming. This
city is an accessible point, and all
needed to make the Springs a
popular and famous summer re-
sort are pluck and capital.
A very careful analysis of a wine
pint of water taken from these
springs resulted as follows:

County Wheel.

ELM GROVE SCHOOL HOUSE, July
I3.-Audrain County Agricultural
Wheel met with Elm Grove Wheel
on July 13. The State dues were
collected from the members of a
majority of ub-Wheels.
Officers for the County Wheel
were elected for the ensuing year
as follows: I. j. Sims, president;
Thos. A. Bolts, viee-president; J.
w. Middleton, reelected secretary;
Nit Hendricks, treasurer; and Sam
o. Wright, delegate to the State
Wheel at Springfield, No., August
20.
After the election of officers, res
olutions were introduced exonerat-
ing Mr.. G. L. Ferris from any and
all blame in the late twine transac-
ton. 1t was further resolved that
the feeling of the Wheel was that
Mr.. Ferris had acted in straightfor-
ward and upright manner. and that
he had fulfilled the terms OF the
contract to the letter.
The action of the twine commit
tee in refusing to accept the twine
that c. H. Rippey shipped, and in
contracting with Mr.. Ferris, was
endorsed and unanimously ap-
proved.
Sam o. Wright was authorized
and requested to write letter and
cause it to be published, to the
effect that the members of the
Wheel approved of and appreciated
the action taken by Mr.. Ferris in
the twine trade.
Mr.. J. P. Veerkamp was also re-
quested to write a letter stating
that the paper called the Union
Signal, was not and never had been
the organ of the Wheel.
The Wheel adjourned to meet at
Liberty School House, at its next
regular meeting.

Within four years the State Of Virginia
has been once carried by the Republicans by
majority Of over 10000. In 1885 the Demo-
Gratis had majority of 1904; in 1886 the
Republicans carried the STATE by 20O59; a
year later the Democrats pulled through by
only 800 votes; and year later they had
but 1853 majority. 1t will be seen then that
the State is exceedingly close, and that nei-
Their the Republicans nor Democrats have
much foundation for loud Boosting in adj
vance. In many respects, however. the
Republican chance this year is much better
than 1t has been for some years back. Their
candidate. Gen. Malone, is a man Of great
energy. and is an expert campaigner. To be
sure he has some strong enemies within the
party, yet on the other hand no is more like
ly to make inroads into the Democratic vote
than any other man the Republicans could
have nominated. The fact that the whole
election machinery is in the hands of the
Democrats tends strongly Of course in their
favor, for experience has shown that the
Southern Democrat never shrinks from using
that machinery for all it is worth to his
party. II free ballot and fair count in
the Old Dominion were assured the Repub-
licans' chances of carrying the State would
be more than even. But there's the rub.

The truth about the extra session question
seems to be that it is still undecided whether
to call special session in October, or wait
until Congress assemblies in December. There
are strong reasons for both courses, and at
the present time they appear to balance one
smother in the Presidential mind. 1t is
alleged that the Democrats have threatened
II an extra session is called to refrain from
voting and compel the Republicans to show
quorum. This the Republicans could do if
every Republican was in his seat, but two
orthree vacant seats would spoil the quorum,
and manifestly it is going to be very diff
cult thing to secure the constant attendance
of every Republican, especially as one is re.
ported so sick that he .cannot possibly at
tend in October, and may not be able to in
December Ii the Democrats conclude
10 assume this attitude the extra session
can not accomplish much. If, however.
there are sound public reasons for calling
special session it ought to be called, not
withstanding the threat of the Democracy.
Ifthey see fit to prevent its accomplishing
anything by filibustering methods, the re-
sponsibility will be upon them, and the
country will understand it and hold them &C
eountable.

The Ohio Democrats.

The Ohio Democracy in convention as
sembled declared for tariff reform; de-
nounced trusts: became very melancholy
over the alleged treachery of the present ad-
ministration to civil service reform; shrunk
back in good deal Of feigned alarm from
the ghost of Cesarism which they detected
In Gov Foraker's nomination for third
term; and did not forget to speak In the
highest terms Of Home Rule Ireland. CNo
convention nowadays ever forgets to do that.
In some respects the platform is a new
departure. One can ascertain what it
means by reading 1t, which has not been
the case with Ohio Democratic platforms for
many years back. Heretofore they have
been constructed with a view to making
them fit all the different notions of the
party. The free trader has been able TO get
consolation out OF them, and SO has the nro-
tectlonlst. This year the latter will lool, in
vain Tor any crumb of comfort in the decla-
ration Of principles. Nevertheless he need
not despair. If the platform has not been
made to suit him, the candidate has flor Mr.
Campbell is an avowed protectionisn. and
the candidate will be seen much oftener in
the campaign than the platform. The sud-
den devotion to civil service reform mani
Tested by the convention is explained per-
fectly by the fact that the national admins
tration is not now Democratic. The denun.
citation of trusts was a rather reckless per
Torrance, inaSmuch as most of the men
whom the Ohio Democracy depend upon for
the sinews Of war belong to the Standard

The Political Prohibitionists of Pennsyl-

ticket They are said to be very highly in

the prohibitory constitutional amendment
was defeated By 100000 votes. Their idea
seems to be that the Republicans are respon-
sible for its defeat, inasmuch as Republi-
can legislature was responsible for its sub
mission. OF icourse the amendment would
not have been defeated had it not been sub
mitted, but it would not have been submitted
had the Prohibitionists not demanded it and
affirmed that a majority of the people de-

Ex-Commissioner Oberly is of the opinion

ready to circumvent it when they can. If
this be the fact then there is doubtless some
