ADDITIONAL LOCALS.

The Oxford League held their
regular weekly meeting on Tuesday
evening last, at the LIST M. f. Church
of this city. The entertainment con
sisted of singing by the League, a
vocal solo by Miss Minnie Winning,
and speech by U. S. Grant Pitzer,
on ''The bright side of our country"
The speaker first compared our coun-
try with the nations of Europe point
ing out clearly how much better a
republican form of government is
than that of monarchy, how the
discovery of America by Columbus
opened up the way for the establish
ment of a republic, how this same re-
public has welded an influence for
good over the nations of the globe,
and how the crowned heads of Eu-
rope are now trembling with fear,
lest this same form of government
shall take root among their subjects
and cause their thrones to crumble
in the dust. Mr.. Pitzer then gave
an interesting account of the won
derful growth of our nation, from the
time of the union OF the thirteen orig
inal States down to the present, in
the number of States, in mineral
wealth, population, and in short, ev-
erything which tends to make ma
ton prosperous. The speaker then
spoke of Mormonisn and immigra
ton as two forces which tend to de-
stroy the prosperity of the country,
giving clear account of the inau.
ence that the two exert upon the
masses of the people as well as upon
the government itself He then
brought forward two other forces
which tend to destroy the pernicious
influences of Mormonism and immi-
grafton, namely, education and reli-
gion, and pointed out how these two
latter forces exert refining and pu-
rifying influence that could not have
been attained in any other way. The
speech was an excellent one, and was
credit both to the speaker himself
and to the audience present.
The singing was also good, especi-
ally the vocal solo. The general
opinion of the audience seemed to be
that the evenings entertainment was
one of the best ever given by the
Oxford League.

The Pittsburg Times puts case
thus Suppose that in naturalizing
foreigners, our courts should act up
to the spirit Of the law and inquire
into the fitness Of candidates for citi-
zenship and for the benefits for
which they ask, and the responsible
ties which they propose to assume.
Would it not be proper to inquire
into their moral and intellectual
qualifications-and the qualifications
in general of foreigners to become

they propose to become permanent
members? What does ascertaining
the qualifications of candidates mean,

Suffering People at Johnstown.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, Oct. 6.-With
the thermometer about the freezing
point, there is a great deal of suffer
ing here these nights by the people
who are improperly sheltered and
poorly clothed. The relief money,
which was intended to supply their
necessities, even if paid at once, will
now come too late to be properly APP
piled in providing against the blasts
of winter. The clothing that was on
hand when the commissary depart
ment shut down, has been transferred
to the Red Gross Society, by whom
it will be distributed to the needy.
There have been great many
deaths here within the past week,
and most of them have been superin-
duced by ailments contracted in the
food. At the Red Cross Hospital
there are now twenty-five cases of ty-
phoid fever, most of them being
strangers in town. A man named
Richard Melden, stranger here, and
who is supposed to be native of
Liverpool, Eng, died of typhoid te-
yer at this hospital yesterday.

A Pretty Toy.

Mr.. Thomas Goodall, of Sanford,
Me-, has an ingenious invention made
by a native of Geneva, Switzerland.
1t is box about three inches long,
two inches wide and three-fourths of
an inch deep. This box is full of
machinery, and when key is applied
q portion of the top will open and a
small bird come forth and sing, chip
per, futter it's wings, turn about and
retreat out of sight. The work be-
meath is of solid gold and very finely
wrought. This box cost $500. The
inventor died after making it, and al
though he had the machinery of sew
eral others made, no one as yet has
been able to put them together and
makes them work.-Leaoiston Jour

West Virginia Feuds.

ST. ALBANs, w. VA, Oct. IA
bloody family feud is now raging in
Lincoln county, this state, between
the Brumfeld and Hall families.
Floyd Dingess, son of a justice of
the peace and prominent man,
married one of the Hall girls. He
quarreled with his wife, and the next
day Dingess and his wife's brother
met and Dingess was shot dead.
Alfred Brumfield had married
Dingess' sister. He swore to be
avenged on Hall and fatally wounded
one of the Hall brothers. Ten days
ago Brumfeld and his wife were way
laid and Mrs. Brumfeld was shot
through the head and died. Brum-
field was terribly wounded. Two
days later Purvis Brumfeld was shot.
On Saturday George Dingess, a
brother of Brumfeld's wife, was shot
through the leg in fight with one
of the opposing party.

SATURDAY, OCT. IL, 1889.
THE Denver Republican think

THE Denver Republican thinks
that
IF it be found that the Democrats
have counted out Golf, the Republi-
can candidate for governor of West
Virginia, illegally, the result will tell
heavily against their party in every
Northern and Western State. 1t
ought to cause them to lose Virginia
at the approaching election"
This is a somewhat too hopeful
view. The Republicans expect to
carry Virginia, but not because of
Democratic frauds in West Virginia.
The plain truth is that the Democra-
cy thrives on just such rascality as
that OF counting out General Golf
The party owes most of its successes
in recent years to that sort of thing
or worse crimes. Fraud may repel
young men who are just arriving at
voting age, but it does not shake the
nerves of older Democrats The

Among the passengers who board
ed the Burlington express for the
north Friday morning was comely
young German girl named Anna
Schwartz. She has been living with
respectable family in this city for
number of years and bears an ire
proachable character. In Orient, ID.
r., a well to do German farmer NAM
ed Jacob Shillinger has resided for
a number of years and amassed a
competency. Several months ago he
wrote letter to his old home in
Germany, telling them that he was
lonely and wanted them to send him
wife. His people cast about them
and learned that young girl of
their village had come to America
four or five years ago and settled in
Kansas City. They obtained her
address and sent it to Jacob Shilling
err, who forthwith wrote to her. They
never saw each other, but knew each
others families, and the result was
that Anna agreed to become Mrs.
Shillinger and the mistress of Da-
kota ranch. Jacob was too busy
with his wheat and hay to come to
Kansas City after the fraulein, and
yesterday morning Mr.. Harry Orr,
of the Burlington, sold the pretty
German girl a ticket and saw her
safely off for Orient, d. t. And he
smiled and looked pleased every
time he spoke about the matter yes

Weather for the Winter.

Connecticut has goose bone
weather prophet in the person of
Henry Stillman, of Woodstock, and
the people of his county would
rather believe his predictions than
the best Gen. Greedy ever gave out
or the peculiar prophecies of Virgins
or DeVoe. A bone taken from a
goose, which was Matched last May,
is the basis of Mr.. Stillman's prog
nostications in the weather line for
the approaching winter. He says
that the temperature will not often
be so low that running water will
freeze and that the winter will gen.
orally be mild with a more even
character as regards rain and snow.
Christmas is to be wet and cold, but
not freezing-and the coolest period
will come in the last half of January.
Disastrous floods are expected about
the last of February or the first of
March.
This is tolerably fair outlook for
the gloomy months of the year, and
the goosebone enthusiasts will look
for the fulfilment of the predictions
with much interest if not confidence.
Now let those who look to the moon
for weather indications have a whack
at the coming season.

EnqIand's Ruined Farmers.

An English author, Mr.. Prothero,
has just written a very interesting
book on "The Ruin of the English
Farmer" which our Free Trade
friends ought to read. 1t is publish
ed by the Longmans and is the sub
iect of favorable notices in the Lon
don papers.
After giving the history of farm
ing in England and bringing 1T up to
time when general prosperity reign
ed, we are told: "Then came Free
Trade, followed by another period of
great distress. Foreign competition
completed the ruin Of the English
farmer. The difficulty of the day is
low prices. 1t is next to impossible
to produce corn, meat or dairy pro-
duce with margin of profit. Like
stage coaches and sailing ships, agri.
culture on scientific principles seems
TO have become useless just when it
reached perfection. Nowadays it is
actually retrograding."
Mr.. Prothero discusses the remedy
for "the present calamitous state of
things" in England with great abili-
ty, but he fails to give the farmers of
that country much encouragement.
Although he inveighs against Pro-
lection, he seems 10 admit that it
would be a good thing for the farm
ers. "At the present moment" he
says, "agriculturists are oppressed
by Protection taxes upon Free-trade
prices" Although the English far
mers have had the Free-trade feast
spread before them for half centu-
ry, they are still paying "Protection
taxes" point the American farmer
may well take to heart.
The author shows how England is
to day undergoing a change "from
tillage to pasture" and the farmers
are growing worse instead of better.
In France and Germany, under Pro.
lection, the farmers are growing pros
porous. In England, under Free
trade, they are in a "cslamitous
state" Let the American farmer
ponder on these facts.-Press.

ton asking the President to do what

THE following from the Union
town, Pa. Standard, is sample of
the advertising that West Virginia
is getting, owing to the efforts of the
Democratic statesman who engineer
ed the gubernatorial steal:
"The farce that has been in pro-
gress in West Virginia for many
months is now about to end. AT the
last election Gen. Golf was elected
governor of that state by 10 MAORI
ty. Against the plain mandates of
the constitution, the legislature,
which was Democratic by one MAORI
ty, refused to allow the result to be
declared. Gen. Golf was refused his
seat, and Wilson became usurper
by holding on to his office after his
term expired. In order to legalize
the robbery a three-to-two legislative
committee was appointed to recount
the votes in a number of counties
where fraud was alleged. This COM
mittee has been at work since, and
while the charge of fraud has not
been sustained, the committee has
carried out the purpose of its creation
by throwing out enough votes on
technicalities to pull Fleming ahead
214 votes, and will so report to a
special session of the legislature in
November, though ringing minori-
ty report will also be presented. If
this theft is consummated, Judge
Fleming will be the beneficiary of a
burglary that win alike disgrace him
self and the state of West virginia"

Prosperity Of Railroads in West Virginia.

WHEELING, w. VA, Oct. 8.-This
has been a great year for West Vir-
GINA railroads, every line within the
limits of the State being rushed to
its full capacity, with business steadi-
" increasing. The Baltimore and
Ohio has often, within the past few
months, been put to the greatest ex-
tremity for cars, and its tonnage, es-
pecially on abe Wheeling end of the
road, is ahead of the best record Of
previous years. The same thing is
true of the Ohio River Road, Presi-
dent George w. Thompson saying
his freight and passenger business is
much larger than ever before. The
Chesapeake and Ohio Road, after re-
peatedly giving orders for new cars
and locomotives, has been forced to
place another order for two hundred
box cars with the Litchfeld Car
Works of Illinois, and the Shenan-
doah Valley Road has within a week
put 200 men at work strengthening
bridges and trestles, preparatory to
putting on heavier engines, capable
of hauling the additional cars neces-
sary to handle the business being
offered. All the shorter lines, feed
ers of the big roads above mentioned,
are participating in the boom, and
in the case of the West virginia Cen
trail, the increase in tonnage is little
short of phenomenal.

doom by doing it. COTS defeat,
through the dishonest means resort
