The desperate republicans, with dividers
and a foot-rule, have been measuring the
map OF the United States ever since the
election, looking for possible new states that
would return republican ma iorities. Two
have been discovered up to date. One, to
be called Western Kansas. has been brought
to the attention II the public. The other.
discovered last week, is to be made up OF
sections sliced Off of Michigan, Wisconsin
aud Minnesota. Both Of these proposed
new states would be ''soldly and safely
republican" The democrats can afford to
watch these futile republican schemes to
secure control OF future congresses with
composure. Even II the republicans were
TO secure their new states the democrats
would have no reason for anxiety. What
would be the matter with throwing
Texas ON the other end OF the SEQ
saw board and bouncing the republicans
sky-hlgh' Texas is big enough 70 make
half dozen states, everyone democratic to
the back bone.

Three Ribs Broken,

Joseph Schreckengost, who lives near
Grove Summit, held note against
George Preston, of Rockdale Mills, and
as the note was past due, the holder
of the note thereof went to Rockdale
Saturday forenoon to see about getting
his money. He found Preston in the
barnyard and stated his business.
Words between them were not of a
love-making kind and the first thing
Mr.. Schreckengost knew he was
stretched out on mother earth receiving
a generous application Of hard kicks
Preston hit his man tremendous blow
on the left side of his head and fell him
to the ground knocking him insensible
and was playing mule when his victim
recovered from the blow. Schrecken-
costs condition was such that DR..
Cooley, of Beechtree, was called and
found his patient with three broken
ribs and otherwise badly used up.

the wedding. The twain quietly hied

their intention to many people. We
extend congratulations and hope that
as they sail life's troubled sea that
contentment may abide with them ever.

"You can't afford to go away from

Decayed Bone Removed.

William Nugent, son Of Michael
Nugent of this place, returned home II
few days ago from New York where he
had been to undergo an operation to
save his right arm. Mr.. Nugent had
his arm injured when mere lad and
has been troubled more or less with IL
for ten years. Last fall he went to
the West Penn hospital at Pittsburg
for treatment. A portion of the bone
between the elbow and shoulder was
found to be decayed. After three
operations he was informed at the West
Penn that amputation Of the arm was
the only remedy, which he would not
submit to. He came home and the
latter part of June went to the
Bclleview hospital at New York. An
operation was there performed which
will doubtless prove a success. The
elbow joint and four inches of bone
above it were taken out. Mr.. Nugent
has good grip in the right hand and
can stoop down and lift one hundred
and fifty pounds. He cannot raise his
hand much higher than his hip without
getting his arm in n swinging motion
and then he can raise it to his face
and has control Of IL after getting It
up. The arm is worth more to him
than dozen wooden arms. The doctor
tells him his arm will get stronger after
being used for awhile.
Mr.. Nugent says he has heard many
people complain about the treatment
received at hospitals. He has only kind
words to say for such places.

the results of his experiments in inOc-
ulating the chinch bug with the mi
crOcOccuS and other fatal SickneSseS
with long Latin names, which seem to
be getting in their work on the insect
population with gratifying success.
The spectacle of the festive chinch-bug
with a white fungus on his placid
stomach, curling up under a cOrnStalk
to die, bears striking resemblance to
the present condition of a certain polit-
ical party in Kansas of which the bug
has been most useful and effective
ally in conducting its calamity cam
paign.-MOnitOr.
The superior enlightenment and geni-
us of man has become so great that the
chinch bug and the gold bug alike fall
a prey to his eQualizing process. In
1890 the deadly incubation was put
out and the $1,000 majority dwindled
and died. In 1891 the gold bug sought
a Democratic Stimulant, but that Of
fered very poor resistance to the dev-
aStatiOn and the present season will
doubtless extinguish the whole gold

IHAI SETTLES II.

For the sake of keeping the Kansas
Alliance in line, the old fake about
half a dozen southern states being
ready to break away from Democracy
OIL account of the defeat of free coin
age is now being induStriOuSly worked.
There is not an atom of truth in it.
Whatever they may believe and what
ever they may talk, the Alliance in the
south will vote for the Democratic can
didate for president, whoever he is and
whatever the platform, just as sure as
election day comes around.-MonttOr.
Now that settles it, The mOgul hath
spoken. What a man who scarcely
sees the light of day outside of his lit
tie office in Wellington does not know
about the political status of the south
is not worth knowing. If we had not
seen such prophetic asses as our neigh
Dor so often disappointed, we should
feel like giving upiin despair. But here
is a little Republican testimony bearing
on the subject. Kansas Republicans
would grieve very nearly as much for
Georgia to be.lOst to the Democrats as
for Kansas to go. .calamitywise, but in
other sections of the country where they
have not been crowded quite so closely
to the wall, they muster up a little ex-
uberance over the prospect of Demo-
cratic discontinue in the south. Here
is some cheering Republican news
from a Republican correspondent to
the Republican Chicago Tribune:
Tom Watson was the only one Of the
Georgia delegation who staid outside
of the Democratic caucus and declared
himself in favor of third party. His
reelection is conceded now by all
hands, while it is admitted that there
is scarcely an Alliance Democrat who
can be returned. Colonel Livingston,
Everett and the other mOngrel mem
bers are powerleSs to stem the tide. II
| is now stated that the Alliance will
have straightout candidate in every
district of the state who will run en-
tirely independent of the Democratic
machinery.
The third party leaders declare they
will beat everybody, including Crisp
BlOunt and Turner. Crisp and Turner
represent the great cotton growing dis.
tricts of the state. All the Democrats
there have been educating their people
to the belief that the low price of cot.
ton is mainly due to the lack of unlim.
tied silver coinage. They.have taught
that the two 60 together. Now it is
impossible for them to explain why a
Democratic house, with majority Of
/ 235, has failed to give the south FREE
coinage. The passage of the tariff bill
putting cotton ties on the free list, does
not make amends in the view of tht
cotton growers for the failure to Civ,
them free coinage. They have reason
ed it out and they " ont listen to argu
ments or promises of what some othel
congress willdo.
