How the Ohio PopuIists Are Going to
Their State Convention.
CANTON, o., April 24-The success of
the Coxey, Kelly, and other similar
movements in attracting public attention
has stimulated Populist genius in Can
ton, and new movement is to be sprung
in Ohio. Allen Cook, lawyer and Popu-
list, is out with call for recruits for

The state is to be divided into eight

tate. The northern division will COM
mence at Sandusky. All delegates along
the route will join in the march as the
caravan comes on, and picnics and speech

Crude Petroleum Unexpectedly DiscOv-
cred at Cottonwood Falls.
EMPoRIA. April 24.-The people of
Cottonwood Falls and Strong City are
aroused over the strike of oil in a we'll
at Rettiger's quarry, three miles east of
of Cottonwood.
A big blast was placed at the bottom
of 1O4 foot well in the quarry, the OBJ
ject being to deepen the well but when
the men went to clear out the debris,
they found the bottom of the we'll Gov
cred with crude petroleum oil.
The oil was the genuine article and
came from a crack in the rock with quite
a flow. Samples of it were taken to
town.
Money is being raised and arrange
ment made for further boring. All the
necessary machinery and power are al
ready at hand in the quarry, and it will
not take much to ascertain if the guam
tity of oil is sufficient to pay for boring.

OTHER STATE NEWS.
Branch of Coxey's Army Organ
iZing at Salina.

LAWRENCE, April "a. Evangelist
Romig who has been conducting revival
meetings here for some time has been
given a chance to prove the faith that
was in him but without very satisfactory
results.
At his Sunday revival meeting Mr..
Romig dwelt on the joint question with
much ardor, stating that there were about
twenty of them running here and that
the officers were derelict in their duty.
He mentioned one case that had been
compromised by the defendant pleading
guilty to single count and intimated
that the county attorney had been unduly
influenced.
When County Attorney Bishop heard of
it he promptly subpGnaed Mr..
Mr.. Romig, under the law providing that
county attorneys may take evidence in
preparing liquor cases.
Mr. Romig, being put on oath and
sharply examined by Mr.. Bishop, backed
down on his statements and admitted
that he did not know of single place in
Lawrence where liquor is sold. He had
never seen one drink or buy liquor and
he knew of no one who was violating the
law. His remarks had been based upon
rumor
The witness objected to answering
some of the questions, but he was given
to understand that it was contempt of
court not to do so.

River, His Father Asleep on the Bank
April 24.-Jesse Myers,
the 13-year-old son of William Myers, a
coal miner living on Dakota street, be-
tween Eighth and Ninth streets, was
drowned in the Missouri river just north
of the mouth of two mile creek on the
reserve.
The lads father and John Duffin, a
neighbor, were fishing in the river at the
point named. The boy was with them.
The two men lay down in the sunshine
on the grassy bank and fell asleep
Meanwhile Jesse was playing with the
family dog near where the hooks were
set out.
After awhile Mr.. Duffin awoke and
went down to see if any fish were on the
lines. He saw Jesse's hat lying on some
logs that had been made fast to the bank.
The dog was running up and down near
the edge of the water making pitiful
noise The father was aroused and quick
ly a search was made for the missing
boy, but all to no purpose.

CONNELLsvILLE, Pa, April 24-The
prediction of the labor leaders that the
entire region will be out in a day or two

They claim that the whole region will

occurred yet, but feeling of uneasiness
prevails and preparations are being made
to protect the plants in the event of the
repetition of the disorder of two weeks

for the last two years of commercial de-
preston and stagnation. The Democratic
Congressional Committee has accepted a
large contract in undertaking to return
a Democratic majority to the next Con-
gress. 1t is not putting it too strongly to
say that it has essayed the impossible. A
serious break in Louisiana is now consid-
cred certain, but the committee has
good deal besides to disquiet it. There
are disturbing reports from Maryland,
West Virginia, Virginia and other states,
calculated to fill the breasts of Jealous
Democrats with alarm. Some of them
have felt that their majority in the pres
ent House was too large, and have pre-
dicted that, instead of eighty, it would
really be better to have majority of, say,
twenty-five or thirty. But calculations
in that direction now seem to have been
widely astray. Democratic disaffection
is increasing, and Republican prospects
of controlling the LIVth Congress are
daily growing in brightness,

Charles Clancy, of Frontier, was tarred
and feathered last night and rolled down
a steep hill by about forty masked men,
some of them husbands, who did not like
the minister's style.
A few years ago, on account of his
troubles, Clancy started a church of his
own in a little log building, taking five or
six families with him. Mr. Clancy was
returning from the church alone When
about mile from home he was stopped,
pulled from the buggy, stripped of his
clothes and tarred and feathered. He was
dragged a long distance before he was
rolled down mill Ali the time he was
shouting Praise the Lord" and "Glory
10 God" and it is said his cries We're
heard a mile distant. He has made no
complaint to the authorities as yet.
