Mr.. J. ]. Wharton Declines the Nomi-
nation for Sheriff.
The following letter has been re-
ceived by the county Executive Com
mittce:
To the Democratic Executive Com
mittee Of Monongalia Comfy,
Gentlemen: The Democratic con-
vention held at Cassville on the II
inst. did me the high honor of nomi-
mating me for the Office of Sheriff.
l appreciated the honor very greatly
for the reason that the nomination
was entirely unsought, and l had
not asked single delegate to sup
port me for that place on the ticket.
Moreover l did not consider it a
mere empty honor, for l thought
then and ] think now, that although
the Democrats have been in a mi
nority in this county, there is good
chance for the right man to be elect
ed to the office of Sheriff over the
Republican candidate.
But since the adjournment of the
convention, l have given the matter
of my candidacy serious considera-
tion, and have come to the conclu-
sion that both for private and politi-
cal reasons it is my duty to step aside
thus early in the campaign and al
low another man who is less handi-
capped than / am to take the duties
and responsibilities of this impor-
tant place on the ticket
| find my private business. press
ing me so that could not give that
degree of attention to the canvass
which it demands. At the same
time / am chairman of the County
Elective Committee and the duties
of this position require all the time
and energy that can spare from my
private affairs.
But the controlling reason which
influences my decision is that there
is very wide and decided opinion
among the people of the county of
both parties, that the Sheriff should
be elected this year, from the East
Side Of the river. There is no con-
troverting this claim. 1t is fair and
just. And l believe that candi-
date can be named from the East
Side, who can get more votes than
| can for this very reason. A can
didate could be named also, for the
other reasons who, at this particu-
lar time would be stronger than /
am.
Therefore, while highly appre-
ciate the honor of the nomination,
and am thankful to the many friends
who have so enthusiastically press
ed it upon me, l feel bound for the
reasons stated, to tender my resig-
nation and ask the committee to
name another man in my place.
And l pledge the committee that
they shall have my best efforts to
elect him.
Respectfully,
Sep. 9th 1892. III. WHARTON.

The speech of the man Sheridan
at the Republican Wigwam on Mon
day, was exceedingly thin and dem
agogical. It was very fortunate for
him and those Republicans who
open their mouths and shut their
eyes, that Democrat did not follow
him and show up the transparent
his amazing argument.

tion oft used by the theatrical ora
tor, for ridiculous effect, but little
consideration by the masses will
show them that it is very sorry
joke. He didn't dwell at any length
on the tariff after that.
He went off on an impassioned dis
ertation on the misery of the Irish
in Ireland, drawing picture that
brought sham tears to the eyes of
some of the faithful on the stage
He did this we'll, speaking of the fer
tility of the soil and the hidden
wealth beneath and of it's non use to
her citizens, winding it up by blam-
ing it on the Democratic party. He
spoke of England's poor and how
poor some of them are, and blamed
it on free trade. That was all right,
but if he failed to convince any one
that the tariff is not tax, and that
the consumer does not pay it, then
these people can b.. likened unto the
old saw which says there's none so
blind as those who don't want to see"
But the bloody shirt portion OF the
speech was the worst exhibition of
that kind that has been heard here
since the memories and incidents of
the Rebellion were fresh and alive in
the minds of old and young alike
since the time when war was ON ev-
erybody's tongue. No one will dare
to say that there was no palliation
or excuse for many crazed utterances
of that period at the time, but now,
in the time of profound peace, when
united people all strive for and are
interested in the best interests and
welfare of our glorious republic, the
falsifying and demonstrations of
that man Sheridan were i'll timed,
disgusting and not endorsed by the
better class of citizens, no matter
what their political utilization. 1t
may be repeated that the bloody
shirt waved, and all the horror of
natural, abnormal talent of prevari
cation was added to the waving
thereof.
His personal abuse of Grover
Cleveland was unprecedented in this
county. He must have some person
al grudge against Mr.. Cleveland, for

Flour Outlook.

The Commercial Review in summing
up the -four trade and the prospects for
the future, says the outlook for better
prices for -four is not yet very encourag-
ing. and from appearances -four is going
down. We are informed that mills arr.
selling -four at $3.50 per barrel. This is
a loss to the mill owner, and shows poor
business judgment. The only remedy
millers have at the present market
price is to close down their mills. There
is an over-production now for the Port
land market, and it seems foolish to
run their mills losing money. The
mills lin Oregon and Washington made
no money in 1891 and we are positive
that they are all losing money this year.
We have not yet seen plan of the o. &
w. Millers' Association that is feasible
to overcome this loss. The best plan at
the present time is to close down your
mill and await a rise in the market.

Sontag Still Carries His Arm in q Sling.
And Both Had Gunny Sacks Wrap

FRESNO, Cal. Dec. ga report has
reached here, by way of Lemoore, that
Evans and Sontag have been seen in
White Deer valley. Detectives are scat
tered all over the mountains in disguise,
and several of them visited White Deer
valley, secluded region lying several
miles back of Sampson's fat. Very few
persons live in that locality, it being
merely a stock range. 1t was suspected
that Evans. and Sontag had winter
camp among the hills somewhere near
thiso place, and an effort was made to
trace them to it. Among those owning
cattle in that region is Edwin Dooley,
who had an exciting adventure with the
train robbers. Some sportsmen among
whom was Rev. Ledford, of Lemoore,
were hunting in the White Deer valley.
and left their horses with Dooley who
turned them into the pasture with his
own auiInals. One of the horses es-
capped and Dooley was searching for it.
While following trail short distance
from the house, he heard shot and
felt bullet whistle past him. He
turned around and, looking up, saw
Sontag and Evans standing not more
than 80 yards away. They accosted him
in n harsh manner and asked him what
he was doing there, and whether or not
he was taking care of pack horses be-
longing to the detectives. Dooley as
sured the bandits that he had nothing
at all to do with the detectives, but in
in the meantime they put convenient
tree between the bandits and him
self, as he was fearful lest the next time
their aim might prove more accurate.
He said that Sontag still carried his arm
i'll sling, due to the wound received in
fight with posse at Young's cabin,
and both men had their feet wrapped up
in gunny sacks presumably TO prevent
their making tracks.

Timely Invention.

St. Paul Press. Frank Millet, whose
name on the corner of a square makes it
worth a small fortune, has invented a
machine to paint the white buildings at
jackson park, with the assistance of this
machine two men can smear as much
paint or kolsomine as forty men with
brushes. The invention is very simple
one. II works like charm, and aside
from the speed with which it decorates
never going out on strike or quarrel
ing with the boss for shorter hours or
larger pay. Necessity was the mother
of this invention. 1t would have been
impossible to get enough of painters in
the building TO color them before the
gates opened, and the expense would
have been enormous. Somebody men
toned this to Mr.. Millet one day and he
went to work to produce the machine.
After number of experiments he put
the device in running order. 1t lie sim
ply gaspipe about foot long pounded
fiat at one end so as to leave an opening
about an inch across and wide enough
to insert sheet of cardboard. This
pipe lie attached to long piece of rubber
hose. The other end of the hose is
dipped in barrel of paint, and an cleo
tr1c motor pumps current of air and u
lot of paint through the hose. The
force of the air scatters the paint In a
fine spray as it comes from the gaspipe.
The painter simply seizes the gaspipe,
holds it about eighteen inches from the
surface he is decorating, the electric
motor is started and the work is done.

Bertram Currie and Sir William HouIds-
worth Have not a Single View.

To Fool the Conference in Coming to
any General or special Solution
of the Silver Question.

BRUSSELS, Dec. 6.-The bimetalIist
delegates to the international monetary
conference are discussing whether or
not they shall unite in signing memo
randum on the obstruction offered by
Great Britain to determination of the
questions before the conference. IF the
conference resumes its sittings after a
prolonged adjournment, such protest,
it is conceived, is likely to induce the
British government to present to the
conference decided policy through its
delegates acting in unison thereon. The
present British delegation appears to
have been sent purposely to muddle the
proceedings. There is no cohesion
among the British representatives,
either as to principle, or procedure.
Each delegate appears to act AS an indi-
vidual agent. except Sir G. Rivers Will
son and Sir Fremantle, deputy master
of the British mint, the latter of VIII )m
used his official position to declaim any
responsibility for the proposals pre-
scented by Rothschilds. Bertram Currie
and Sir William Houldsworth have not

strong mutual contempt for each others
views. Neither General Straehy nor
Sir Guilford Molesworth, the Indian del
egates, have official orders as to the
course to take. 1t has been made clear
the British government has purposely
avoided giving any instructions tending
to the common action of its delegates
upon any point whatever. 1t is now
obvious this course was designed to fool
the conference in coming to any general
or special solution of the silver question.

Two Brave Girls Save a Train From
Disaster.

TACOMA, Dec. .S.-Two brave girls,
with lantern, saved heavily laden
Southern Pacific passenger train from
total destruction, near Grants Pass, Or,
Wednesday evening. The wreckers had
removed the outside rail over the high
trestle across Cow creek canyon, and
had not the engineer been sigRaled just
as he was approaching it, the entire
train would have plunged to the bottom
of the rocky gulch, As feet below. The
full story of the attempted wreck, which
the Southern Pacific evidently sup
pressed, is told bere tonight by DIR. G..
v. Calhoun. one of the Washington
presidential electors, who arrived this
evening from California. He says that
the displaced rail was discovered by two
young ladies who crossed the trestle.
with lantern just before the train ar
rived. They were Mortified at the dis
covery. Just then the train was heard
approaching. One OF the girls instantly
rushed up the track swinging the Ian
tern over her head. seeing which the en-
gineer stopped the train at the approach
hof the. trestle. The train consisted of
twelve cars containing 250 passengers
and DR.. Calhoun says the loss of life
would have been frightful had the train
not been stopped. The wreckers did
the work quickly, us the track WAS all
right when the watchman passed over
the trestle half an hour before train
time. When the passengers learned of
their narrow escape they made up a
purse and appointed committee to
learn the identity of the brave girls and
buy each an appropriate Christmas
present.

Favoring the Privileged.

At a recent meeting of the Detroit
CITY counci. an ordinance has been pass
ed requiring property owners to lay
stone sidewalks in front OF their dwell
ings. Some objection was made to the
form of the ordinance, inasmuch as,
when taken in connection with other
and unrepea led ordinances allowing the
first sidewalks laid to be of plank, 1t IA
yored the owners of vacant land in the
city along which sidewalks had not yet
been laid. In the course of the discus
sion Alderman Lowrcy said:
/ don't think it is right for the Casa
estate. or any other estate. to hold prop
erty out of use and get the benefit of q
rise in value due to others work with
out doing it's share in the way of inn
provements l don't think it is fair to
let that estate lay plank sidewalks
when others must lay stone sidewalks
Point was given to Mr.. Lowrey's re-
marks by the insertion in the very issus
of the Detroit Journal that published
them of real estate agents advertise
ment containing the following excel.
lent advice and useful ipfo-mation:
Don't keep your money IN the banb
at a miserable per cent interest when
you can invest it in Detrit suburban
real estate and make Is or 20 per cent
Think of the vast fortunes made In De-

our greatest fortunes had their origin
in real estate investments. What made
