The Governor recommends the
plssage Of law limiting official
terms Of Notarics. If some edu-
cational qualifications were re-
auired Of the new appointees some
good might result, but otherwise
the only object attained would be
additional fees to the Secretary Of
State. The West Virginia woods
are full Of notarics who can Meth
or read nor write. Plenty Of them
spell cat with tx and not one
III len can spell Notary sat all.
They sail into Office under the
moral character given them by
tie County Court and thefprivate
recommendation OF IN acqnaint-
ance. Any man out Of jail can
ret County Court moral charac-,
ter, and applicants are recon-
mended for anything l.y persecut-
ed people who want to get rid Of
them.- Wetzcl DEM 9 al.

{ TO elect Governors and Con-

but in my candid opinion worse
could be done. Issee no harm in
the majority ruling, especially
when that majority constitutes the

tainly do.

PRICE OF OIL ADVANCED.
The Standard OH Company Has Another
big scheme on Hand.

The Standard OH Company Has Another
Big scheme on Hand.
FISDLAY, O., Dec. 4.-The price of
ohio oil has been advanced 21i cents,
making the market price now 3eH
tents. This advance was SO entirely
unexpected to all interested that it
came in the nature of very agreeable
surprise. The cause of the advance is
not known, as the Standard company
is not in the habit of giving its reasons
but it is thought that II was made in
order to bring Ohio and Pennsylvania
oil nearer to an equality, the latter
having dropped down TO IS cents.
The Standard company now has in
its tanks in the Ohio field in the neigh
borhood of %, 1000, 600 barrels of oil. 1t
is said the great monopoly wants to
stimulate q little speculation and ad-
vance the price in order to set the pub
lie to buying, thereby getting their oil
carried at big profit to them In stor-
age. This could easily be done, the oil
having been placed on the exchanges
long ago although owing to the pccul-
lar actions Of the Standard company
the trading in it did not last long
In this immediate locality the pro-
ductiop will not be stimulated very
much by the advance. The territory
has been pretty well developed and
two-thirds OF it is controlled by the
Standard company. In other sections
OF Ohio and Indiana the present ad-
vance and the prospect for another one
viii have tn effect Of setting the drill
TO going once more.

STATE AND CHURCH AT WAR.
Brazilian Citizens Tired of Paying Taxes
for Eccleslastical Purposes.

brazilian Citizens Tired of Paying Taxes
for Eccieslastical Purposes.
Rio DE JANEIRo, Dec. 4.--The antag-
onism between state and church is
becoming acute The government
charges the clergy with having en-
gagged in Vaccinations for the restora-
tion of the empire, and the clergy
accuse the government OF being hos
tile to the interests of the church. The
clergy have never liked the republic
and have remained with few excep-
tions, attached to the imperial house
Their feelings of hostility to the re-
public have been intensified by irregu
larity in the payment of salaries
When the official connection be-
tween church and state was declared
abolished the federal government en-
gagged to provide for the pa. ,ment of
all salaries to the existing function
aries of the hierarchy and to support
the chairs in the seminaries for one
year, leaving IL TO the provinces to do
as much more as they pleased in the
interest of religion Most of the pro-
vinces have chosen to do nothing, and
where priests have died altars remain
vacant for the want of a salaried min
istry. The Brazilians, unaccustomed
to voluntary contribution for clerical
support, are learning to neglect reli-
gion, and the church sees the people
slipping away from it. These circum-
stances have created bitter feeling
and tend to intensity the attachment
of the clergy for the Catholic house of
ltg 49, l,t, Al.
church.
The government, on the other hand,
which had paid little attention to the
signs of clerical discomfort, now recog-
nizes these clergy as politically hostile
and dangerous, and steps will doubt
less be taken on the reassembling of
congress towards abolishing any re-
naming responsibility of the federal
government for the support of the
church establishments Mgr. Spolye-
rini, the papal nuncio, will shortly take
his departure from Brazil to report the
condition of affairs at the Vatican.

TEN MEN KILLED.
Workmen Buried Under "A Failing Wall In
1T. Paul.

II. Paul.
ST. PAUL, MINI, Dec. A horrible
accident occurred shortly after l
o'clock today, when the center wall OF
the west section of the Shepard build
ing, recently occupied by Farwell,
Oseman IL Kirk, fell in. bury
ing the workmen beneath the
ruins. There was supposed TO
have been fifteen men beneath
the wall at the time it fell and the
majority Of them were killed or re-
ceived injuries which will prove fatal
probably.
All the patrol wagons of the city
were ut once summoned.
The laborers who were not rnder
the wall were wild with excitement
and 1t was long time before more
than half dozen could be induced 10
go to- work.
The group that went to work in less
than half an hour had taken out fif-
teen men. ten Of whom were killed
and five injured, one SO seriously that
the physicians at the grounds said that
he could not live until he reached the
hospital
by this time large gang had been
put TO work and the work OF removing
the debris went ON rapidly.
Finally Contractor Wilcox was taken
out dead and mangled beyond recogni-
tion. The wounded were taken
to tLe city hospital in the patrol
wagons and the dead with tho
exception Of one man were laid in the
Great Northern freight house. Hun
dreds of people, including many OF the
workmen, viewed the remains, but no
ono was able to identify any of the
men.

MASHER MANTELL-
Sensational Developments Promised In the
Actorsa DlYorca Suif.

Actors divorce suit
New YORK, Dec. 5.---The most recent
developments In the Mantell case are
interesting, states morning paper.
AS already told, Mrs. Robert Mantell
has inTtituted proceedings for legal
separation with alimony, against tho
hancsci'e yo.sg actor who has for
many years been favorite of matinee
audiences. 1t was generally thought by
friends of both parties that the dis
agreement between husband and wife
could be settled by an amicable
arrangement. But lawyers have noti-
fed the wife that Mr.. Mantell has en-
gagged their services by telegraph to
defend his case, and the attorneys are
now awaiting u formal letter of
authority to enable them to contest
the case brought by the actors wife.
During the past week Mrs Mantell
has been engaged in arranging the de.
tails of evidence, the incriminatiDg
letters and kilograms and the array OF
witnesses which she intends TO pro-
duce in court The evidences will, 1t
is affirmed, not only secure her n speedy
and triumphant verdict, hut unearth
matters that will astonish the public.
At present Mrs. Mantell is inclined
to name as correspondents in the suit
which she is bringing against the actor
only two actresses, wealthy young
woman and the wife of prominent
man But as each day bl ings new.
witnesses and bits of circumstantial
evidence to light there is considerable
probability that when the Mantell sep
aration suit comes to court il will be
pregnant with sensations that will be
of interest in social as well as theatri-
cal circles.
Meanwhile new complications have
arisen which will turn the mat
ter from its present phase as an emo
tional drama into what may result in
n tragedy Miss Charlotte Behrens,
the leading woman of the Mantell COM
pany is in private life Mrs Hume.
Her husband is a theatrical manager
OF some prominence. As he is isdevotedly
attached to his wife, it was only nat
ural that this gentleman shonld be
deeply concerned by the connection
that certain newspaper reports made
of Miss Behrens' name in relation TO
the suit brought against Robert Man
tell. The Mantell company is playing
this week at the Bijou theater at Pitts
burg. His friends say that Mr.. Man
tells life will not be safe unless Mr..
Hume's passion cools m twelve hours
ride TO Pittsburg If Mrs. Mantell
wins her suit it is likely at the least
to lead to other divorces.
