good picnic. After good program wa:
rendered by the Sunday school and others
including some able speakers, all were in

the friends gathered together relating rem
iniscences of by gone picnics, all returned
to their respective homes feeling the time
well spent in an enjoyable day, even If i
was seemingly busy time for the farmers

Recent efforts by some of our en-
terprising citizens looking toward the
development of the rich fire clay
fields on the farm of Mr. J. H. Close
and adjoining lands, seem now about
to be crowned with success. For a
number of years Mr.. Close has been
trying to bring this subject forward,
striving to interest capitalists in this
great natural mine of wealth, but he
has met with various objections and
sometimes almost with derision. But
Mr.. 9. never lost courage and still
persisted in the matter, until now
that complete tests haye been made
his good clear judgment is proven by
actual fact. Some time ago Messrs.
r.. A. Handy, @. H. Edgecombe and
j. Q. Royce associated themselves
with Mr.. Close and as a result of their
labors the attention of some capital
lists of st. Joseph, Mo. was interested
in the immense beds of clay here. A
meeting was appointed in that city
for last Saturday. Messrs. Handy
and Royce went down, and among
other things an expert was secured to
investigate both the quality and
quantity of clay, This gentleman,
Mr.. Hayes, came up yesterday morn
ing and is still pursuing his testing,
but sufficient has been learned to
warrant the organization of stock
company for the manufacture of fire
brick, pottery, thing, terra Gotta, etc
This will probably be done in the
near future. Much credit is due Mr..
Close and the gentlemen associated
with him for their enterprise in the
development of our natural resour-
ces. Such plant here IN active OPP
Grafton would be a great thing for
our town, and the undertaking will
doubtless meet with the approval and
substantial AID VI all our citizens.

The card tables were brought into

Tho Year 1898.

The year 1893 is now part OF his
tory. In many respects it is one OF
the most important years Of our past.
The great Columbian exposition has
demonstrated the tremendous prog
ress the world has made IN the last
four hundred years. But it Is sad
commentary on our civilization that
the year which witnessed the culmi-
nation in one grand effort Of four
hundred years of headlong progress
should see the whole nation suffering
from hard times and financial dis
tress.
Our material and intellectual
growth has been remarkable, but the
financial panic proves that our moral
and political development have not in
the scramble for wealth kept pace
with the others, thereby rendering
the structure imperfect. The sharp
contrast formed by the Worlds fair
aud the panic has, however, set men
to thinking, and the American people
once aroused to thought and action
on subject Will soon set matters
right. This is one of the character
istics which make our people great
slow to anger, but when stirred to ac
ton no people act with a firmer OF
steadier hand, or are more inexorablt
in their DEGREES against depression
and wrong
Outside Of our own country there
has been much disturbance. The
Hawaiian revolution, Instructions ir
Brazil and the Central American re-
publics; trouble in Siam, war between
the English colonists and the nations
in the Matabele country, and the per
iodic war cloud in Europe. Let III
hope that 1894 will be a more pros
porous and peaceful year, and tina
better things are in store for human
ity.

That the members Of PhillIpsburg
Lodge, A, o. U. W., No. 274, are
most successful hosts, is a fact, well
recognized and appreciated by the
scores Of guests who have at divers
times enjoyed their hospitality
Their entertainment on New Years
night detracted nothing from their
well.earned laurels, and only added
renewed lustre to their enWable re-
putatlon,
The evening opened with a pro-
gramme, consisting Of music and
recitation and was presided over by
Mr., William StrettoD.
The musical part was furnished in
different forms by Mrs. Stretton and
Misses Cummings and Stretton and
Messrs Hoffman, Dawson, Rogers,
Nipps and Sallee. These are nearly
all well known to our music.lovng
people, and have always been enjoyed
and appreciated by them. Misses
Blanch Gebhart and Elba Nipps sur
prised and pleased their friends by
their ability and ease Of recitation.
At the conclusion Of the program,
the summons to supper was, eagerly
responded to. The ladies, without
whose assistance, even the A. 0. U.
WIS are powerless, now appeared
upon the scene, and catered to the
wants of the inner man. That it was
most acceptably accomplished is a
foregone conclusion, with such man
ayers as Mesdames Stretton, Gebhart
and Nipps in charge They offered
all the delicacies of the season, and u
spirit Of fraternity and good cheer,
pervaded it all.

came the order ION with the dance"

pOilllOo III Ouo HNO"''N'' "
set Of men would contest township Of
fees for the mere sake Of the Office or
for political supremacy. The ques-
ton is one that involves not only the
people of Walnut township, but the
good people Of the whole state as
we'll. 1t is SIMPLY whether or mot
mon have the right to have their vote
counted as it was cast.
Again, he studously avoids saying
anything of the eighteen mutilated
ballots or Of the fact that the two
clerks both declare that not more
than five such ballots were actually
returned to the judges by the voters
Neither does he note another fact
which responsible parties inform the
HERALD was plainly evident to all
who examined the ballots closely, and
that is, that two or three marks on
each one OF nearly dozen OF the de-
fective ballots was made with q diff
ferent stroke and undoubtedly by u
different hand from all other marks
on the ticket Strange coincidence
that the same two or three heavy
strokes should appear on SO many OF
the mutilated ballots
And still further, the judges, who
are so we'll acquainted in their town
ship, ought to be able to remember
more than five OF the eighteen men
who are said to have spoiled ballots
and returned them.
Now after all the clamor by the re-
publican party about southern out
RACES, after all their boastful talk OF
a "free ballot and a fair count" which
the Dispatch editor has always echoed
as faithfully as ever Friday" fol-
lowed the instructions Of the Sol
onel," after all this it is mildly sur
prising to see him opposing an lnves-
tigation and flying so quickly to the
support Of persons accused OF manIp'
ulating the ballot box.
If the Dispatch will but get parti'
san blindness out of the way it may
SEQ great deal Of evidence, besides
the oaths of thirty-hve good men
which it holds Of so little account.
And it NAV then be able to see that
there is a wide discrepancy between
the returned vote and the recounti
that the peculiar markings on the
mutllated ballots have a story to tell;
that the statement of the clerks that
ONLY five ballots were mutilated by
voters has it's weight; and last but
not least, that the sworn statement Of
thirty-fye good men means some
thing.
That there is something wrong is
plainly apparent, though the HERALD
does not presume to say who commit
ted the wrong or how or when it was
committed. That fact will probably
be brought out IN the due course of
time. For one thing is sure. The
outraged voters of Walnut township
are determined that they will not sub
nit tamely to the prostitution of their
ballot box. And as to the solution Of
the scheme by our worthy friend i'm
plicating the HERALD, we will not dis
turb the ripple of merriment it caused
by even referring to it.

More About the Walnut Township
Contest Case.


Under the above caption the Dis
patch makes out what purports to be
a very strong case against the con-
testants in the recent contest trial be-
fore the county commissioners, not
withstanding one Of them was actu-
ally found to have been elected, and
the vote changed on all the others
Evidently these facts have escaped
the Dispatch editor for he senten-
tiously remarks: "All the evidence
the populists have to support the
claim of fraud is the affidavit of thir-
ty-live citizens of that township to
the fact that they each voted for
Caswell for trustee" OF course we
do not know how much or how little
value the Dispatch editor puts upon
a solemn oath, but to the HERALD the
sworn statement of thirty.ive good
men seems pretty large sized bit of
evidence, and we think it would have
some weight in most courts of our
land.
But that Is not all, by any means.
