the people Of this county last week,
at Newburg, Rowlesburg, Aurora,

Was Gen. Garfield free trader {?
During the tariff debate OF 1870,
this is what he said +: "Duties
should be so high that our manu-.
facturers can fairly compete with
the foreign products, but not so
high as to enable them to drive out
foreign articles, enjoy the monopoly
Of the trade and regulate the prices
as they please. This is my doctrine
OF protection. IL Congress pursues
this line Of policy steadily, we shall
year by year approach more nearly
to the basis of free trade, because
we shall be more nearly able to
compete with other nations on equal
terms. ! am for protection which
leads to ultimate free trade. /"
This is more than the Democrats
ask for, and yet Garfield was one
OF the leading Republicans Of his
day.

LONG WALK FOR $1,000.
John and Lou Howard Tramp from Seattle
to Chicago on Wager.

John and Lou Howard Tramp from Seattle
to Chicago on Wager.
CHICAGO, Sept 2.-John and Lou
Howard, of San Francisco, who started
from Seattle, Wash, on March 10 last,
on tramp to Chicago for a $4,000
purse, have arrived here, having sixteen
days to spare, their time limit ending
Sept. 10. Both looked dilapidated when
they reached the city, Howard having
lost forty pounds and his wife twenty
two-and-a-half pounds. Howard wore
out seven pairs of shoes on the trip.
The long tramp was undertaken at the
solicitation of Mr.. Peter Burns, mill
ionaire liquor merchant of Seattle, who
published an offer to bet 5000 that he
could find two people in the theatrical
profession who could walk to Chicago
from Seattle in six months. His bet was
taken by man in San Francisco. The
San Francisco man appointed j. P.
Morrison to watch the walkers lest they
should be tempted by the easy, gliding
grace of freight train to tie the old
wheelbarrow on the rear Of the caboose,
hop on board and make three or four
days journey in one afternoon. They
have walked 3,7O0 miles, and have
wheeled barrow with one hundred
pounds of camping outfit the entire
distance. A check for the 5000 was
handed Howard on his arrival.

MR.. BABcock WILL WE'D.

The Young Michigander, Whose Uncle
Made Queer WIN, Selects Wife.
WAUKEsHA. Wis, Sept Edwards
the latter part of September James L.
Babcock, of Ann Arbor, Mich, will be
several hundred thousand dollars richer
than he is now, and il will all be
brought about by wedding in which
he will be one of the principal figures,
the other contracting party being Miss
Ella Stanley Butler, of this place. In
1889, James Lane, a wealthy uncle of
Mr.. Babcock, died in Ann Arbor. Mr..
Lane in his will, after comfortably pro-
viding for all of his relatives, including
Mr.. Babcock, made provisions that the
residue of his estate, amounting to sew
eral hundred thousand dollars, should
be held intact for five years. If before
the end of the five years his nephew,
James L. Babcock had married, he was
to receive the entire estate, otherwise it
was to be divided among all of the heirs,
including Mr.. Babcock. Nearly every
newspaper in the country noticed this
strange will, and as a result Mr.. Bah
cock was the recipient of hundreds Of
letters from maids willing to share the
fortune with him. The bride was born
at New Haven, and for time lived at
st. Johns, Mich. OF late years she has
lived in Waukesha with her stepmother.
The marriage will take place the latter
part of September.

WHAT EFFECT
VIII the Epidemic of Cholera
Have on the Fair2
Is a Question Which Has Re-
Gently Been Raised.

In Interviews Number of Ohicers OF the
Great Worlds Columbian Exposition Say
rs Yet They Sec No Reason why the
Proposed Festival Should BE Post
poned Year.
CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-Will the European
epidemic of cholera affect the worlds
fairr The question has been raised as
to whether it would not cripple the for
eign exhibits, which, perhaps, might be
responsible for the introduction of con-
tagion into this country, and this has
given birth to the suggestion that the
fair be postponed one year.
Dispatches from New York and Wash
ington indicate that some apprehension
is felt in those cities that the cholera
abroad will have a harmful effect upon
the prospects here SO far rs foreign ex-
hibits are concerned Many of these
were to come from districts which are
now infested with the srourge, and it
might be dangerous to accept goods sent
here under such circumstances.
1t is therefore suggested that it might
be well to postpone the exposition an
other year.
Director Genral Davis does not think
that the present condition of affairs war
rants the directors taking any action in
the direction of postponing the fair.
'sDo you think the reported condition
Of the cholera is such as would affect
the prospects Of the fair2" he was
asked.

But do not think such circumstances
will develop. have paid no attention
to the scare"
President FL, N. Higginbotham is dis
posed to treat the scare lightly.
"Why," said he, ''my family is in
Paris and when the plague story got out
wired asking for information and re-
ceived an answer that there was no chol-
era in that city"
II have not heard of any desire to
postpone the fair because of the chol-
era," continued Mr.. Higginbotham,
land as far as know it has not been
discussed by the directors"
~ think it would be well to wait
until we know definitely that the chol-
era is going to make trouble before
thinking about any such proposition"
said Directo. Gage, and that seems to
be the gene. al opinion.
Several of the other directors are of

filled up, the numerous springs have
more than doubled their normal flow,
accompanied by gaseous substance
which bubbles through the water in
such quantities as to blaze when ignited.
There is no apparent cause for the
strange phenomenon. The season is
very dry and there have been no rains
recently. The citizens of the place are
in state of panic, and many are pre-.

is built on a high bluff, but the cellars
are filled with water and gas. BY some
