Her Weight in Gold.

The widow of Jesus Castro, who lives
in the little town of American Flag, in
Southern California, is probably the
only woman who was ever sold for her
weight in gold. She is still alive at the
age of sixty-eight, and tells the story
herself. Castro fell desperately in love
with her when she was seventeen, but
the priest whom he asked TO marry
them refused on account Of the near
ness OF the relationship. Castro, who
had been lucky in mining, offered the
priest S., 900 to perform the ceremony,
but was still unsuccessful. Then he
asked what sum would prevail, to which
the priest replied: ''The girls weight in
gold" Thereupon he caused scales 10
be brought and placing his sweetheart
on one side, he poured out gold dust
upon the other side till the girl was bal
anced. The priest was fora time dunb-
founded, but found words to pronounce
the ceremony. Castro's bride cost him
125 pounds of good gold, or about S27,-
600.

Sight Drafts on Credulity.

Near Olympia, Wash, is a well that is
coming gradually to the surface. 1t is
between twenty and thirty feet in
depth. For some time the brick wall Of
the well has been protruding through
the ground, until now it sticks up into
the air like funnel 10 the height Of
ten or fifteen feet. The bricks are I'M
disturbed, and the wall is intact. The
bottom of the well, too, is rising with
the wall.

DIV through the tariff, the salt works OF
West Virginia practically had to quit
business. They have been protected"
almost ont OF existence. The tariff,
bred salt trust, however, counts its
wealth by the millions.
OF course, Mr.. ATKINSON does not
neglect to ''ring in" the Anticipated high
tariff fake" regarding the cheapening
of manufactured articles since the in
auguration OF the present system Of
tariff taxation, and he gives long tables
Of figures, which look very imposing,
to show how protection cheapeLs
things" Mr.. ATKINSON ought to be
above the use of such clap-trap. He
surely knows that this cheapening pro-
cess has not and could not possibly be
due to the tariff, and that it is due to
improved machinery, and other causes
with which the tariff could not possibly
have anything to do, with the exception
Of cheaper labor. And Mr.. ATKINSON
neglects to state that the articles he
mentions have decreased in price to
much greater extent in Free Trade
England.
He speaks of the difference between
English and American wages, but
neglects to state that the difference is
not nearly so great as exists between
English wages and the wages paid in
the high tariff countries in Europe.
The United States is new and
sparsely settled country compared with
the countries of Europe and that is the
reason higher wages are paid here. If
high tariff makes high wages why do
the high tariff countries of Europe pay
so much less wages than Free Trade
England? There is no tariff on labor.
1t may enter our ports free, in droYes,
TO compete with American labor, and
the closer we approach the crowded
condition Of Europe the nearer will the
standard OF wages in America approach
that in Europe. And the high tariff
will simply hurry us toward that condi-
tion by increasing the cost of living and
lesSening the purchasing power Of the
wages Of American labor. If high
tariff makes high wa ges, why have not
wages been increased in the protected"
industries? . Why have strikes, lockouts
and reductions been more numerous
than ever since the passage of the Nc
Kinley bill?
We have not the space to wade
through Mr.. ArKINsoN's twenty-five
columns of misinfOrmation and demo
gogy. Nor is it necessary. Novoter who
thinks will be deceived by it.

"The Man of Snap"

Disciples Church last night, entitled
The Man of Snap" to large and cul-

his subject at his tongues end and there
fore dispensed with his notes. In addi-

Banks swindled.

The two National banks Of Waynes-
burg have been the victims OF clever
forgeries. According to report, Bert
Herman, a young man from Greene
county, had presented notes at the two
banks, endorsed by several prominent
Greene county farmers, and had OBJ
tanned amounts aggregating in the
neighborhood OF $1,000. These notes
had been presented at various times
within the last few months, but only
recently were they discovered to be
forgeries. 1t is learned that Herman
had been arrested, but no further par
ticulars could be learned. The accused
is possessed Of considerable property
and the case may be settled.
