A Mckinley Riot

Be it understood that this riot in the
Mansfield coal region of Pennsylvania
is republican riot. highta riot, a
Mckinley riot. The rioters are Huns.
Slavs and Siciliaus, the very dregs and
offscOurings of sou them and southeast

this country (duty free) by the coal
barons and, in the name of protection
to American labor" substituted in the
miues for decent American, English,

they liked, chiefly in store truck. They
supplied them with cheap whiskey and.
in word, supplied all the accessories

That is what the coal and coke regions
of Pennsylvania have been made by
these rascals who are now insulting

OLMITZ OBSERVATIONS.
From 'Imperator."
Mr.. Stretcher was down from Gala
tia lately to look after his sick horses
and found them all right, those under
his care.
Among the people doing bushes at
the county seat during the last few
days were Otto Brand, Henry Schugart,
and Frank Schank.
A spelling bee'' on Wednesday
evening and ''necktie supper" on
Friday evening, are billed to take place
at Boyle's school house.
Alfred Mayors returned home from
Russell to spend month at home
Upon his arrival the young people gave
him neat little surprise party.
Mr.. Vincent. the station agent at this
place, has moved into the FL. A. Haine
property and is now comfortably 10
Gated to enjoy the pleasures Of life.
The farmers of this locality are now
fairly happy. They have large deposits
in banks: The banks were instituted
by the recent snow storm; and each
farmer has his own banks with the nee
essary deposit of moisture in them to
insure good crop, do you see?
Mr.. p. White, of north of Olmitz,
seems to meet with considerable misfor-
tunes. His wife is reported seriously
ill; and last Thursday while in town,
his horse broke loose doing much dam
age to his buggy. 1t has not been
learned whether the horse was found
safe and unhurt or pot.l
Among the-novel things of Olmitz. is
the organization of ladies brass
band" under the instruction of Ed
ward Baier. The following names con-
stitute the organization up to date,
viz: Misses Carrie Kaiser. Minnie Nod
man, Anna Juttner, Lima Kreisel, Jallie
Hoffman,, Anna Brand, Lima Patter-
neck, Aanna 10th and Dora Nordman.
Trains are somewhat delayed on &C
count of the snow drifts. Only four
trains lave passed in two days. AS the
snow pillow passed through here Mon
day noon, though most of the snow had
been shoveled from the track in front
of the depot, the pillow threw or hurled
some through the windows of the house
and did some damage. Mr.. Vincent had
his ear badly cut by a piece of fving
glass.
The entertainment given at Dist. SO,
under the direction of Mr.. Kuhl the
teacher, was we'll spoken of. There is
to be another given at the same place
in the near future. And the one given
at district 30 on Thursday, was duly
appreciated. But the Ole given in Oh
mitZ on Friday night, was pleasing and
impressive, lasting beyond the moon of
night" All went home we'll pleased,
having enjoyed the very best music.
comical dialogues, and impressive reel
tatiOns.
The people in the northern part of
the county and those in the southern
part of Russell county, north of Hois-
ington, are somewhat wrought up on
account of the actions of party of
strangers who prowl about their
houses. On one occasion when one of
the farmers came home, he found one
man in his cellar and another lurking
around outside. AS it was night he
did nothing, and in the morning
the men had left. The men doubtless
are trying to get money, as the farmer
whom they surprised, is known to
have some money.

WHY does the young man who

a fellow when he goes to throw a ball.
first screw it into the palm of his
right hand with his left, then hop on
his right foot while he bumps bis chin

And why does man when he gets a

just like wearing a tooth brush in the
