The Good Influence of Woman,

The world is growing better, but it
is not due so much 10 wealth or TO
business enterprise as TO the influence
Of good moth rs and gentle women.
The man of the world has no time TO
train his children in moral ethics. He
may take time 10 punish them for overt
immortality, but it is the mother who
plants the seeds in the young hearts
and nourishes the growths with gentle
care.
Next TO the mother ranks the sweet
heart. By demanding gentleness, de-
pertinent, moral rectitude and refine
ment in manner, she encourages the
development Of that which the mother
had tenderly watched and nourished.
1t is natural for man to endeavor to
please those he loves; and for the sake
of enjoying the smiles and favors Of
the woman upon whom his affections
are centered he will endeavor to riss
to her social and moral plane.
Many men are kept out of the gut
tiers by their love and respect for pure.
good women. -PittsburS Gazette.

A Fortune Just Missed.

Quincy Robson related an incident
of the early history Of the oil regions
recently which may give the children
of the present generation a vague idea
of the magnitude Of the transactions
which took place when oil was IS and
50 a barrel, and poor people gained a
competency by scooping il Oft the
surface of creeks or gathered II from
pools around the tanks which had
overlooked. The story, as told by MIR.
Robson, was as follows:
Within a month after Col. Drake
had struck The first petroleum ever
brought TO tie surface in America by
means of drilling, my father and the
father Of my relatives here bought a
tract of land, comprising l,2SO acres,
adjoining the farm on which the
Drake well was located, for $3.50, 900.
Not long afterward | was sitting in
their Office one day. remember il
as distinctly as though it happened
only ycsterday-when an agent for
an eastern syndicate walked in and
offered S5OO,O 100 for the l,2S0 acres.
The owners looked at him rather in
credulously for a moment, but before
they could speak he had counted out
on the table $500, 600 in cash and
drafts. which he offered for a deed of
the tract. | was appalled, by the sight
of the pile, but my father and the
father Of these gentlemen retired for
consultation, and decided that If the
property was worth $500, 900 it was
worth $1,000, 600, and the offer was
refused. Their heirs still own the
land. and now it is valued at about
2 10000. Where they could have got
dollars we could scarcely get nickels.
Thus you can see what seemingly
fairy stories could be told of those
days. They are almost Incompetent
sible TO the present generation, but
they were red hot facts" And a sigh
Of regret that the offer had not been
accepted went around the circle

be commenced. He says the company intend to
commence operations as soon as possible, and
have only been delayed by the plans of the
buildings not being completed and consequent
inability of contractors to make their estimates,
Messrs. brigham and Jennings are figuring on
the plans at Mayor Holcomb's office now. and
the other contractors here will do the same at
once In all probability the foundations, at
least, for the buildings. will be laid this Fail
Ihe maturln of the necessary plans for such
vast enterprise requires time and those who
are impatient because the buildings are not in
process OF construction, should remember that
good business men never make flying leaps
when engaging in such projects. for very many
considerations are involved that cannot be dis
posed of by any happy faculty of guess work or
lightning process of reasoning. Just have a
little patience, and in week or two no one
need be surprised to see the work commenced
in good earnest.

THE DEMoCRATIC MECCA.

The celebration of the seventy-sev-
enth birthday of Allen G.. Thurman
was an opportunity for the gathering
of the democratic hosts. No living
man has ever had such spontaneous
honor done him, and we sincerely be-
Iieve that no living man is so highly
worthy of any honor, not only of his
party. but of the nation.
There were present at the banquet
one thousand of the democratic leaders.
Nearly every state and territory was
represented. The speeches were elo-
quent, heartfelt, and full of horse
sense. There was some rejoicing over
the recent election, but the tenor of
the speeches looked to the future, and
prOphesied good to the people. The
downfall of the Mckinley bill was suf-
ticient foundation for hopeful future.
Mr.. Thurman made short but elo-
quent speech, thanking his friends for
the hOnoIs heaped upon him, and mod
estly dIsclalmed any particular merit.
MIR. Cleveland made one of the best
speeches of his life. Nearly every SEN
tence was strong expression of noble
principle. He gave the Mckinley bill
few blows that will resound from
Maine to California.
The speeches continued till 4 O'Clock
the next morning. The occasion will
never be forgotten by those present
No man can fall to be made better by
attending such a gathering. Laying
aside political bias, Allen G. Thurman
is the greatest statesmen in this coun,
try. His character is as pure as the
falling snow flakes. No man ever &C
cused him of a mean action, and he
would not do mean act if he knew il
would make him president. With {
long and brilliant public career, he car
look back over his past life, and hnC
nothing to regret. The public can only
honor itself when it honors such mel
as he is. Long live Allen G.. Thur
man.
At this writing it looks as if there
would be three presidential tickets il
the field in 1892. The republicans viii
doubtless nominate Blaine; the demo
Gratis will surely nominate Cleveland
and the alliance will nominate a win
ner. But let us not underestimate TIT
| strength of the opposition.
