AN OCEAN MONSTER.
Picture of an Ugly Creature
Caught Near San Francisco.
Some Say 1t Is a Fish, Others Vow That
1t Is a Genuine Case of Serpent
Ideas Entertained by n
Learned Professor,

Oakland has a something for which
everybody is trying to find a name, says
the San Francisco Chronicle. Some
call it a fish and others class it with the
serpents. AS it vas caught in the bay
the fish theorists maintain that their
position is correct, but the contrary
minded point to the barrel-shaped body
and the hideous head of the ome
thing in support of their belief that it
Is a snake, and an ugly one at that.
The contention was suspended for
awhile and the queer thing without a
name was taken to the university at
Berkeley, but even the learned profess
sors of that classic retreat gave up
guessing at it. At all events it is the
queerest looking monster ever captured
in the bay of San Francisco.
Some people claim that the Atlantic
seaside hotel-keepers have permitted
the one, only and original sea serpent
to get away from them, and there is
something about the monster hat bears
them out. From the tip of its ugly nose
to the end of it's equally ugly tail the
body is five and one-half feet long. 1t
is round in shape and the body tapers
from the head to a fine point at the tail.
The captors state that it wriggled very
snakishly through the water. The
thing has fins just like any well-con-
~structed fish. The head of the monster
is enough to scare a delirium tremens
patient into an insane asylum. 1t is q
very large head, shaped like a sealion's
with huge staring round eyes, two small
ears that lie close to the head and {
very large mouth armed with two rows
of formidable. looking fangs and {

Every person in favor of the free

Those who echo the specious de-
ceptions of the monopoly daily press

the country by every mail and express
train, and reach every hamlet in the land.
This universal circulation of these large
papers at cost, or less, of the imprinted
paper, bears strong signs of concerted
plan, to mislead and keep the masses 10
ignorance of the real condition of affairs.
On the side of the masses there are up
wards Of thousand reform papers publish
ed, with new ones starting constantly. These
papers discuss trnthfully and ably the
economic questions which are agitating the
workers and bread winners of this and other
lands. THE MIDLAND JOURNAL, in com.
mon with all other papers, receives num-
Der of those papers in exchange, which
present the reform questions from many
points of view. In order that our friends,
the public may enjoy and profit by the
labors and thoughts ofthe busy brains which
create those papers we have hung box 10
the post Office, after the manner of the w.
C. T. U. and when we are through with the
most valuable of our exchanges they are
deposited in the post Office box hung on the
wall with the motto on its front "Take a
Paper" The reform press throughout the
country in similar way might be the
means Of distributing vast amount of use
| full reform literature among the people
without cost. This is also an excellent plan
to distribute large amount of literature
which is constantly finding its way 10 the
editors table, in pamphlet form. Write on
each pamphlet or book, before placing in
the box, "Please read and return" The
subjects under discussion are presented from
many points OF view by the different writer's
and are thus made much more interesting
and instructive. Adopt this plan brother
editors Of the reform press, and yon will be
gratifed to find how quickly the papers are
snapped up by the people who most need
aud crave the information they contain
This will prove one of the best methods o.
heading off the lying daily press.

Take a Paper.

Every printing Office receives a large
number of exchanges which principally go
to waste after the editors have glanced
through them. Many OF these exchanges
would prove very useful and also very &C.
ceptable TO the public. In no period has
this fact been SO important as at the present
time. There is momentous contest raging
throughout the world between the classes on
one side, (who are composed principally OF
the spectators, monopolies, combines and
non-producing element against the masses
on the other side, who are made up of the
wealth producers. These two classes o.
our citizens are forming into opposing lines,
diyiding on economic questions. The large
city daily papers are all Owned by the
monopoly and capital class and their CHIEF
aim is to conceal the condition of affairs
and keep the people amused by accounts Of
murders, scandals. divorce suits, burglaries,

The Prohibition Party Should
Disband.

The prohibition party is trying to
rally for another Presidential cam
paign under St. John as their stan.
dard bearer. The Voice, which is
the vertebra and ribs of the party
has said the word and st. John is to
be the man to "make the sacrifice. u
The most enthusiastic members of
the party have not the remotest idea
that it will create even a ripple,
much less elect any candidate. II

ted. The objects aimed at are the
best possible if they could be achiev,
ed. This is a we'll nigh universal
belief. Then why will not the tenn
perance army join hands in the effort
to achieve this great result? There
is surely q reason not discovered or
made public why the party has so
singnally failed. We believe the
common sense of the public has no
faith in the methods the prohibition
party employs. The popular judg,
ment knows that while the govern
ment taxes liquors the saloon can
not be destroyed. The tax the
government receives necessitates
protection to the business. The
prohibition party has never. that we
| are aware of, made a direct attack
on this policy. 1t has rallied in sea.
son and out of season against licens,
Jag the saloon, and has planned
impossible campaigns, and in
every instance met with the most
annihilating defeat. Its leaders are
incompetent, and the little faith the
public had in them has gradually
oozed away.
The only point of attack which
makes success possible is on the
internal revenue laws which tax
liquors and protect the business by
tariff of 600 per cent. The revenue
of over 100 million dollars derived
from this source must be made up
from some other source. An income
tax on the men who make the great.
est political use of the liquor trade
through the saloon, to secure their
class legislation are the men whose
incomes would have to furnish the
deficit which would result from O
repeal of the tax on liquors. The
prohibition party has never had the
inclination or nerve to offend that
class. This the instinct of the pub
lie appears to have always felt and
hence the party has never had any
hold on the masses, and without this
there is no hope of success. The
prohibition party, if its leaders had
their full share of political common
sense would disband and try fol
success on other lines. To continue
in the course it has pursued is effort
time and money wasted.

STOVES AND RANGES
Are articles you all know of but few
are aware which are best, but most
all housewives in Cecil and Hartford
counties have heard of the high en-
coniums that have been showered on
those made by Armstrong & Co.
Their reputation not only extends
through the State of Maryland but
throughout the United States has
their praise been sounded. Now
these are just the kind of goods We
want to sell you and at bottom
prices. But should you desire some
thing different, that is some other
make, we are equal to the emergency.
There is.not a stove made on this
terrestrial globe that we cannot fur.
nish you and at prices as low as any
stoye dealer in this country. Re-
pairs for all stoves also furnished at
short notice. The weather during
the Summer may be too hot to use Il
Cook Stove or Range, and in this
crisis we come to the front with a
substitute that will do its work bet
ter, save heating up the house, no
odor no smoke, and comfort and con
venience combined in using the Cas-
oline Stove. We carry in stock two
kinds; one, the Volunteer" we have
sold hundreds of in the past few
years, needs no commentator as
every purchaser gives them praise.
The Insurance" has only been out
two years but in that short period it
has climbed up to the top round Of
the ladder and gained the honor Of
being the only positively safe vapor
stove made. We make this asser-
ton without fear Of contradiction
and we can demonstrate this fact in
very feR minutes if you only come
in and permit us to show you it's
superior advantages.

all Winter and at various times haye
threatened to go in and buy one.
People kept saying to us. and we
have to admit their talk had great
weight, that there wereBrown, Smith,
James, White, Black, Gray, and
hosts of others who had been to the
MAMMOTH and bought coaches and
were made happy. 1t is rather EN-
barrassing for modest folks like US to
announce this happy event in this
way but some one must do it and as
no one has, it becomes incumbent
upon US to do so. Jones and | are
