FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
UNIONTOWN.

Miss Matte Estep met with painful
accident on Saturday evening last. She
was leading a colt from a pasture, and
while passing through a heavy farm
gate the colt became frightened, and
drawing on the rope halter the second
finger of her right hand was caught
either in the gate or between the rope
and the post, and the flesh stripped from
the bone as far as the first Joint,
Hand perhaps the bone is also injured.
Miss Estep is an efficient teacher and
would have commenced her spring term
of school last Monday.
Mr.. Thomas Mcpherson, of Furbey,
Kansas, and who has spent the winter
with his aunt at this place, left for
home on Monday. He will join party
for Oklahoma on his arrival. Mr.. Me-
Pherson is a Young man of intelligence,
integrity, and pleasant friendly manner,
and all his friends wish him unlimited
success.
Mr.. James Corbin did not have the
new house built at Bannock expressly
for his new girl baby, but she will occupy
it all the same. \ new house and a new
girl baby are something to be proud of.
Mr. E. H. Smith and force, of Flush
ing, have been doing some good jobs of
painting here. The yeranda of the par
sonage is done up in fine style and after
BOARD meeting" they expect to con-
tract for the building. They are now
painting the residence of Mr.. Jesse Huff.
Mr.. VIM. Boyd. the trusty and capable
care-taker of DR.. VIM. Estep's fine
horses, passed through town en- route for
Flushing, on Monday, with one of the
Cleveland Bays, which attracted much
attention, and was greatly admired by
lovers of good horses. The Bays are
growing in favor daily.
There is some oil excitement in this
vicinity, and we learn that Mr.. VIM.
Watson and others have leased their
farms to representatives of the different
companies. We may yet have that
railroad built up the creek, which has
been so often talked of.
Rev. W. R. Thompson, of Blaine,
preached at the L. p. Church on Sab
bath of last week, and his many friends
here were glad to meet him and enjoy
and profit from his usual excellent dis
course.=Rev. Jones (Winebrenarian)
has closed his meetings here for the
present; the services were well attended
and much interest was manifested
there were two conversions.=Mr. Frank
Simpson and wife, of East Richland,
paid a brief visit to our town on Mon
day=Mr. Lee Downing, with his friend
Mr.. Walter Hays, both of Washington
College, spent vacation with relatives
in this vicinity.=Mr. ThOs. Lodge, Jr.,
of Hopedale College, spent his vacation
at home and visiting.=Rev. T. J. Mil
ford preached to a large and attentive
audience at Bannock on Sabbath last
We received this week copy of the
Flushing Adcertjser, which as local
paper is deservedly popular.=The meet
ing of the Farmers Club at the home of
Mr.. J. c. Pollock on Saturday, was a
very pleasant occasion, and the guests
were entertained in the most hospitable
a report of the proceedings will
prove interesting reading. II.

Mr.. J. X. RUKENBRoD, of the Salem
Republican, announced in the last issue
of his paper that that number completed
the thirty fifth year of his editoriol con-
troll of it.
Mr.. Rukenbrod has been an important
instrument in the material prosperity of
Salem, and we are glad to believe has
himself shared in the good things that
have been vouchsafed the people of his
town. He has been a Iaborious and sue
cessful publisher and editor, and has
found time to serve the public in various
capacities, beside. He has the cordial
good wishes of the fraternity.

THE repeal of the anti-saloon ordin-
ance is to be railroaded through Council.
Possibly it will not be found so great a
bonanza, after all. Drinking of intoxi-
eating liquors is unquestionably on the
decline among that class of people whom
saloon men care about having around.

THE nearer the 22d April approach
es the more it begins to look as if there
would be serious trouble in the Okla
homa country. The boomers who have
waited many days to take up the choice
claims are determined that their chances
shall not be jeopardized by the arrival
of tenderfeet, and SO they threaten to
burn railroad bridges and commit other
lawless acts in order to impede the
progress of the people who go there
with the intention of settling.

THE Hon. H. Clay Evans, the newly
elected Republican member from the
Chattanooga district, is a fair represen-
tative of the new industrial South. He
recently said in an interview:
"Ten years ago the Democrats had a
majority of $500 in my district, and
since then we have been steadily re-
ducing it until the election last fall
which resulted in a majority of nearly
300 for me. The protective idea has en-
abled us to win in spite of the obstinate
loyalty of the people to the Democratic
party"
Exactly, and the protection idea, to-
gether with the abolition of the internal
revenue, the two leading principles of
the Republican party, will yet convert
the solid South into an extremely doubt
FIJI South,

THE race into Oklahoma for land
April % will be by foot, by wagon, by
horseback, by balloon, by almost every
way imaginable. 1t will surpass in ex-
citement any previous episode in the
history of emigration, and any race ever
run in time of peace.

ALMOST the first act of the incoming
Council was the adoption of a resolution
providing for borrowing money to bridge
over until the next pull can be made upon
taxpayers.
Possibly Council has authority to make
such loan, but what about that pro-
ington law, which forbids the making of
any contract or the creation of any liza
bility until the Clerk has certified there
is money in the Treasury to pay the bill?

DOODLE methods in politics must be
met with the law. Boodlers must learn
that the penitentiary is yawning for such
criminals. Men can not longer stand by
with folded arms and see Offices disposed
oflike people would merchandise. Such
methods are corrupting the very foun-
tains of society itself, and if not checked
will destroy free government.

mo money shall be dra1On from any
"countg or township treasury ercept By
"duthority Of JaaO," says Sec. 5 of Art.
Y of the Constitution of Ohio.
The Clerk of Richland township thinks
this provision of an instrument he has
sworn to support may be violated with
impunity by him, and that when men
demonstrate with him about it he can
laugh it off. Perhaps some day he may
laugh out the other corner of his mouth.

THE Senate lacked the courage of its
convictions when it voted down the pro-
position to increase the pay of members
of the General Assembly. The present
compensation is shabby in the extreme,
and a fair increase would be approved
by all right-thinking men. The people
can not afford to be niggardly with their
lawmakers.

THE rascals are turning themselves
out slowly. The assistant postmaster

IT is settled now that the people of
Ohio are to vote next fall upon an
amendment to the State Constitution
providing for the election of members
of the State Legislature by districts in
stead of by counties.

SOME of the Southern Democrats are
finding out how the shoe pinches in the
matter of fraud. For example, Marengo
county, Alabama, with white popula-
tion of 7,277 and black population of
23,6l2, returned 1924 Democratic votes
and only 5S5 Republican votes. The
county's representation in the Demo
cratic State Convention was based upon
this obviously fraudulent vote. There
upon other counties took the hint, and
Dallas, with 40,007 blacks and 8,425
whites, returned at the last election
9,084 Democratic votes and 672 Repub-
lican votes. Hence, kicking. The Bir-
mingham Age-Herald charges that the
false counting was "for the purpose of
giving Dallas a large delegation in the
Democratic Convention" and refuses to
acquiesce in such "iugglery," Per-
haps when the ballot-box suffers fall
out voters will get their rights.

THE New York World of Friday has
some interesting reading for Ohio vo-
ters. Coming from the leading Demo-
cratic paper at the metropolis it will
prove of more than usual interest to
those who believe that United States
Senator Payne fraudulently occupies
his seat. The article in question is a
two-column review of the circumstances
attending his election, under the follow
ing displayed headlines, prominently
punctuated with dollar marks:
$-HIs sENAToRsHIP-$
Sworn testimony concerning the cleo
tion of Henry. B. Payne, of Ohio. State
Legislators who boasted of their own
infamy. Evidence which was laid be-
fore the United States Senate, and
which that club of millionaires declined
to act on. A subtle distinction between
bribing caucus and bribing a Legisla-
ture. For denouncing this condonation
of crime Editor Halstead incurred the
lasting hatred of Senators.
