PENCIL POINTERS.

The Bellaire Herald makes a false
statement arising either from ignorance
or desire to lie when it says that the
county commissioners are paying more
than they ought or need for the gasoline
used in lighting the county buildings.
The commissioners now pay for high
grade of gasoline just two cents a gallon
less than the same grade is actually
bought or can be bought by any other
consumer in the county. This fact and
the Herald's mistake can be easily veri-
fed by anyone desiring to learn the truth.
A dealer in gasoline tells us that he can
not possibly get the grade Of gasoline
used for less than 13 cents, while the
commissioners pay 111s cents, and form
erly this gasoline was bought from To-
cal dealer at fourteen cents. If it is hon
est, the Herald will look into this charge
and retract its unfair and untrue state
ment.

Wherever Howard Kirk goes he makes
friends. He comes from the toiling
classes, and his nomination for the office
of Treasurer is recognition of the stur

make model officer.

The efforts of the Democrats this fall
are to be directed to getting out the full
vote. They propose to lie low during the
campaign, but when election day comes
to use every means to have out their
voters to a man. In this is warning to
Republicans. Everything seems to be
favoring the Republican cause this year,
but to make the result sure beyond a
doubt the full Republican vote must be
gotten to the polls. There is always
among Republicans the danger of over
confidence, but there must be no such
drawback this year. Votes count and
every vote must be out on election day to
insure victory.

1t is singular circumstance that in

Last year the newspapers were filled
with news of demands and strikes for
higher wages, and in many cases these
demands were granted. This year the
news is of shut downs, or at the best re-
ductions from 10 to 40 per cent in wages,
and men, eager to get work under any
conditions. These two pictures illustrate
the difference between Republican and
Democratic times. For which will you
vote?

This is good year to vote the straight
Republican ticket. The Democratic
county candidates will ask the support
of some Republicans, for only by Repub-
lican support can any Democrat hope for
election, but were any of the Republicans
whose support will be solicited to become
candidates, not one of these Democrats
now seeking votes would scratch his
ticket. A Democrat is always Demo
crat when it comes to voting, and any
Republican who scratches is giving what
would not be given in return.

The Democratic papers up in the
Eighteenth District are abusing Con-
gresham Ikert because he had sense
enough to know that protection is just
what his district wants, and further that
he had courage to say SO before the Ways
and Ways Committee. The difference
between Ikert and the newspapers is that
lkert knows good thing when he sees
it, and grabs hold of it, before it is too
late, while those that are abusing him
either don't know what is good for them,
or if convinced that protection is the pol
icy, are ashamed to acknowledge it.

The repeal of the Sherman purchase
clause is apparently no nearer consum-
nation than it was a month ago. A few
De mocratic and Populist Senators are
blocking the way so effectually that it
seems probable thatrepeal will not be Sc
cured unless some concession is granted
the silver men. There is another phase
to this present struggle, and that is that
it opens way for Republicans to defeat
the passage of a tariff bill in the Senate,
res ult that would do the country more
good than the passage of the Wilson re-
peal bill.

1t is universally acknowledged that
James F. Tallman fills the office of Pro-

connection with the Office, coupled with
a natural aptitude for such position,
has enabled him to master all the details
so that at glance he knows what to do
and how to do it. Every person having
had business in the Office of Probate
Judge has noted this fact. His election
for second term will be a compliment
to remarkably capable public servant.

The old-time superstitious belief
that human beings should sleep with
their heads toward the north is now
believed to be based upon q scientific
principle. Some French savants have
made experiments upon the body of a
criminal who had suffered death, and
these tests go to prove that each hui
man body is in itself an electric bat
terry, one electrode being represented
by the head and the other by the feet.
The body of the subject upon which
the queer experiments mentioned
above were made was taken immedi-
ately after death and placed upon u
pivotal board, free to move in any di-
rection. After some little vaccilation
the head portion turned toward the
north and then remained stationary.
One of the experimenters took hold of
the pivot and turned it so that the
head pointed south, but upon being
freed it almost Immediately resumed
the first named position--turned until
the head pointed north. To prove that
this was neither accident nor coinci-
dent upon muscular twitching, as some
had suggested, the board was repeat
edly turned half around and then
freed, but always with similar results.

About lightning.

Although lightning and thunder
occur always simultaneously, an in
terval of shorter or lcugnr duration
is usually observed bctweGu these two
phenomena, which is daa - the fact
that sound travels only at the rate Of
/, 100 feet per second, while the pass
age of light is almost Instantaneous
Based upon this fact il is an easy
matter to tell, at least approximately
how many miles thunder-stor is
away.
A normal pulse will beat about one
stroke to the second, and by count
ing the pulse beats during the inter-
val of the lightning and the thunder
the lapse of seconds is arrived az and
consequently the number of feet,
which can be reduced TO miles.
For example: II thirty seconds
elapse between the flash of the light
ming and the crash Of thunder, tho
storm center is at distance of 3d.
600 feet, or about 6! miles. An al
most accurate calculation can DO
made by using watch with a minute

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and

rightly used. the many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid

ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
ative; ef1ectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

An Aged SQuaw.

Living in little hut situated on tho
shore of Chautauqua Lake is woman
who is deserving of more than passing
notice. She is full blooded Apache
Indian, has passed her Tooth birthday,
and is still as active as n woman not
more than half her age. Her name is
Sophia Paul. Between twelve and
fifteen years ago she went there with
her daughter and took up her abode.
The couple had little means and they
bought a small tract of land, large
enough to supply them with the neces-
saries of life, and there they have lived
ever since.
The aged woman has full possession
of her faculties and does not require
spectacles in order to see distinctly.
Like the majority of her tribe, how
ever, she is stoical, but rarely ill-hu-
mored. Many go from Lakewood to
see Mrs. Paul each season. She realizes
that she is an object of interest and is
always pleased to see callers. Many a
silver quarter and u half dollar is left
IN some conspicuous place before vac
visitors depart, and this, with the aid
OF what can be wrung from the soil,
provides the pair with comfortable
living. g.-Dunkirk IN. " Herald.
