OIL DRILLER MURDERED
BY His Friend While They We're on a
Drunk Together.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va. July Is
Ten day ago Jim Penwell, one of
the most expert oil drillers in the
business and a man known in every
oil field in the United States, disap-
peared from his usual haunts and his
friends have been searching for him
ever since. Their investigation re-
suited in the discovery that Penwell
and three of his warmest friends, who
were drinking in a speak -easy at
West Union, Doddridge county, July
IL became involved in quarrel,
when one Of the men drew a knife
and stabbed Penwell in the jugular,
causing death in fifteen minutes.
They watched the body until dark,
when it was quietly buried on the
hillside. Every possible effort was
made to keep the affair quiet, and but
for the persistence of Penwells
friends tbs probable hismurder never
would have been known. Penwell
came originally from Rochester, N.
Y. where he was educated for the
ministry. He stood six feet four
inches in height, weighed two hun
dred and forty-five pounds and was a
perfect Hercules in strength. His
companions were all large men well
known in the oil business. As yet
no steps have been taken by the au-
thorities towards the arrest of the
murderers.

He knows how to run a post office.
He had four years experience under

looked like he didn't have much
trouble in getting back in his old po-
sition. He will no doubt run the
office in way that will please the
people and be creditable to the ad

this is about the only way the pat
rons of the office can manifest their
appreciation of the postmaster's eff
fort in providing a new outfit for
their convenience. Buy box or

Long. and Painted Like Flower.

The Grand Canon of the Colorado
River, in Arizona, is now for the first
time easily accessible to tourists. A
regular stage line has been establish
ed from Flagstaff, Arizona, on the
Atlantic g. Pacific Railroad, making
the trip from Flagstaff to the most
imposing part of the Canon in less
than II hours. The stage fare for the
round trip is only $4,000, and meals
and comfortable lodgings are proyid-
ed throughout the trip at reasona-
BILE price. The view Of the Grand
Canon afforded at the terminus of the
stage route is the most stupendous
panorama known in nature. There
is also trail at this point leading
down the Canon wall, more than 5000
feet vertically, to the river below.
The descent of the trail is grander
experience than climbing the Alps,
for in the bottom of this terrific and
sublime chasm are hundreds of noun
tains greater than any of the Alpine
range.

What To See in Chicago.

The problem, what to see in Chi
cago, is one that will vex every visi-
tor. There is enough to see to keep
one busy six months. OF course the
great Worlds Fair will claim the
larger part of ones time, but the
great city of Chicagois none the less
wonderful. Sixty years ago, the
site of the city was the haunt of
wolves, fifty years ago Chicago was
a busy country town, Twenty odd
years ago, when a city of 100000
population, it was nearly swept from
existence by the most awful fire ever
kindled; to day it is the home of ovel
a million and half of people, and
is one of the few really great cities
of the world

There is more Catarrh in this sec
ton Of the country than all other dis
eases put together, and until the last
few years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease and prescrib-
ed local remedies and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease and therefore requires consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by +. j. Cheney
& Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the

tenn. They offer one hundred dollars for
any case it fails to cure. Send for

Chicago Architecture.

No other American city can claim
such a record, and it is not the least
glory of the whole that the artistic
results are as satisfactory as they
are characteristic. Granted that the
bad buildings of the city outnumber
the good, the latter are already so
numerous and are so entirely part
and parcel of Chicago as really to
represent its present architectural
spirit. And this spirit is thorough
ly business-lke, thoroughly compre-
hensive of the complicated problems
which hedge in and bind the arehi-
tect at every turn. Chicago build
ings are not palaces, they are not
highly ornamental edifices, they are
not wonders of decorative skill nor
miracles of gingerbread appendages.
They are calm business structures,
designed for business, used for bus
mess, and admirable because the
business motive is so evident. If
they are plain it is because there is
reason for the plainness, not because
their architects cannot design good
ornament nor because decorative
structures are not appreciated. They
must be judged for what they are,
not what they are not nor what they
might have been. Those who want
palaces for their places of business
should not find falt with the people
of Chicago because they are wiser
and reserve their palatial work for
palatial structures or some public
building like the Auditorium. The
buildings of Chicago form one of the
most distinctive and remarkable and
successful products Of American
architecture, and it will be decided
step in advance when we in the East
learn to appreciate them better and
take them as models for similar
structures for ourselves.
At last America has buildings
worth going thousand miles to see
and the traveller who sets forth
from New York on his first Western
tour will find in the buildings OF
Chicago some examples of new
form of architecture, a more sensible
and more business.like treatment
than he will find at home. The
least impressive of the lessons he
takes away with him will not be the
one he gains from the study of Chi
cago's new buildings-Borr Ferree,

THE BUNC0 MAN
FLEECES A PROMINENT FAYETTE
COUNTY FARMER.
Robert Elliott the Victim-lnduced TO
go Into Coal Option Deal and
$1,000 Disappears He Knows
Not How-The Slick Man
Still at Large.
Uniontown Standard.

Again are we compelled to chron-
icle the fleeing of farmer by a
bunco man. This time the victim is
Robt. Elliott, one Of the substantial
farmers of Jefferson township, this
county. 1t is pretty much the same
old story. The stranger relived Mr.
Elliott of $4,000 in cash and now the
latter wonders at his stupidity.
On Saturday last stranger visit
ed the home of Robt Elliott and
showed him options he had on coal
lands in that vicinity and asked him
to take half interest in them. The
stranger said he had enough money
to carry half and they could make
a nice thing out of it. Mr. Elliott
examined the options and thought
them all right and agreed to take a
half interest. Then the affable, slick
gentleman told Mr.. Elliott that he
had his cash with him in the tin box
in which be carried the coal option
and that he, Elliot. should go to the
bank and get his money and put it
in the box along with his, and on
Monday morning they would go
around and pay the farmers.
To keep Nv Elliott from having
suspicious, he stated that he should
then take the box of money to his
house and keep it over Sunday, and
then they could get an early start
Monday. The stranger was to stay
at the hotel in Fayette City. Mr.
Elliott consented to this proposition
and went to the bank at Fayette City
and got his $4,000, and on the way
back to Mr.. Elliott's house the
stranger counted out his $4,000 and
put it in the box, together with Mr..
Elliotts money, and on arriving at
his home the stranger handed him
the box and said he would be out
early Monday morning and off the
bunco man drove and with him he
carried the 81, 200.
When Mr.. Elliott went into hi:
home carrying the tin box all th,
family wanted to know what
he had, and he told then
valuable papers. The curiosity o.
the sons was greatly aroused and t.
such an extent that they prevailed
upon their father to open the box
when to the amazement of all
was empty.

Mckinley Wool.

1t is well known fact that the
price of wool since 1878 has been
continually going down, and our Re-
publican friends say that the cause
of it's low price today is on account
of the new Democratic policy about
to be inaugurated in lowering the
tariff on wool. Well, we kindly ask
our high protection neighbors why
it is that last year wool brought 25
cents per pound under Harrison's
administration aud this year it is
bringing only 20 cents per pound be-
fore democratic administration has
gotten fairly under Roadway, or be-
fore any action of Democratic
Congress has been had. In fact the
true reason of the low wool market
to-day is the increased tariff on wool
under the Mckinley Bill which is
now in force reducing the price of
wool to 20 cents per pound. And
the cause of this decline in price of
wool under the Mckinley Bill is very
plain. Our American wool growers
only raise about 260,000,00O pounds
annually, while our manufacturers
consume about 600,000,000 pounds
annually,the difference of $40, 0O0,0
pounds is made up of imported wool
and home made shoddy. The for
eign wool is absolutely necessar y in
wooden manufacturing because of it's
quality which cannot be duplicated
at home; and when the American
manufacturer is compelled by high
tariff to pay more for the foreign wool
he must have, in order to compete
with his foreign rival even in our
own markets, he will use as little as
possible of imported wool and pay
as little as possible for it but he will
make up the difference by substitute
ing shoddy to mix with the foreign
wool. Hence the history of the high
tariff on wool shows that it benefits
nobody excepting the dealers in
shoddy.
We said in a former article on the
subject that 20 cents was too low for
Mckinley wool, we mean by that,
that the Mckinley tariff alone is not
responsible for the present low price
of wool, but that the financial troub-
les or money astringency has de-
pressing effect on the price of wool
as we'll as everything else. Woo
buyers inform us that formerly they
could get all the money they wanted
at per cent, this year they have Of
fered 8 per cent and failed to get it
Now keep in mind the fact that this
money astringency is caused by Re
publican legislation and you will
readily see how contemptibly near
it is for the Republicans to be howl
ing around about "free wool" 1t il
not free wool but Mckinley tariff

A Change of Base.

The Republicans papers have, as
a rule, admitted that the financial
of the last few months
have been due to the Sherman law,
but they have held that the law was
not a Republican, but a Democratic
measure, and that the party now in
power is responsible for the whole
financial trouble which has been dis
tressing the country.
The Democratic press has shown
quite conclusively that the Sherman
bill could never have been enacted
without the active cooperation of
the Republican party, which, at the
time of it's enactment, controlled
both branches of Congress as well
as the Presidency. The claim that
the Republicans voted for the Sher-
man law to prevent the passage Of a
free coinage measure was without
foundation, since that very Congress
had rejected free coinage bill ear
lier in its session, and since Presi-
dent Harrison would Immediately
have vetoed such measure, even if
it had passed Congress.
The Republican papers have now
changed their position and claim
that the real cause of the financial
disturbances is the fear of impend.
ing tariff changes. The overthrow
of the protective system, they argue
means the destruction of our nation.
al prosperity, and the distress which
is already being felt by the business
and financial institutions of the
country is merely a forerunner Of
the disastrous shock which will be
caused by the abandonment Of the
protective policy, under whose in
fluence the country attained its high
est prosperity.
When this new argument is bowl
ed over the fertile minded defen ders
will no doubt find some new ant
plausible explanation of the fnan
cial stringency, tracing it, of course
to Democratic sources.-Baltimor,

WORLDS FAIR GIRLS.
In Their Pretty Costumes They Make a

Uncle John" Thorpe's roses are
net the only blossoming things at
jackson Park these June days, says
the Chicago Tribune. Pretty girls
from all over the country are deck

spring gowns and filling the wide
avenues between the white palaces
with spots of color. As a rule, the

and a white parasol, white GLOVES

complete. More suitable, however
was the costume of a blue-eye
young woman, who was gowned all

SONS Of June Almost every girl
who comes to the park wears dainty
shirt waist Of some cool, light stuff,
and many of them throw of their
Elton jackets and sit about in the
shadows of the buildings during
the long afternoons, while John Phil
lips Sousa leads his musicians
through the strain of "Doughlas
Tender and True" or something
else which suits the hour and place.
Already the myriad foreigners
stationed at the park are beginning
to remark that the American girl in
her spring things is by far the rarest
and most beautiful exhibit which
this country has to show. AS the
summer grows their admiration will
doubtless grow with it.
Most of the handsomest toilets so
far seen at the park have been worn
by girls from out of the city, whose
fathers take them out in gospel
chairs. The college man is also of
the party, and is daily emphasizing
his presence more and more by don
