A Few General Remarks and Familiar
Reflections.

a Few General Remarks ana Fam1Lal
Reflections.
/ A distinguished French chemist thinks
that the necessity of raising food stuffs
can be done away with by chem
istry. Carbon and nitrogenous sub
stances form the staple of food. Carbon
ic acid gas, nitrogen and hydrogen exist
in infinite supply, and all that is needed
is cheap and never failing supply of
operative energy. This energy the chem
ist asserts may be obtained by sinking
artesian wells to such depth that water
can be obtained at temperature to op-
crate machinery. Then with a mere
fraction of the labor now required to
produce it, the food of the world may be
obtained. This is a progressive idea. The
sooner it is developed, the better. The
sooner the world gets rid of eating, the
better. Nothing so retards and curses
civilization as the necessity Of eating.
By all means let science do away with
it if science can.
Persons who indulge in the admirable
and enjoyable pastime of amateur pho
Biography and especially those who make
trips, and for better convenience use the
film rolls expecting to have the pictures
developed when they return, will do well
to profit by the experience of man of
this place, who few months ago made
trip through northern New York, where
he obtained many fine views. When he
got home he had photographer attempt
to develope the exposures, and he found
to his very bitter disappointment that
not one picture could be made, because
the entire roll of films was bad The am
ateur had better know that his films are
good before he starts.
The beauties of nature just now are an
object lesson. DR.. Depew made trip
West lately and he truly says: The whole
Western country reminds one of the
pictures formed by him, in his imagina-
ton, of the Garden of Eden. The Or
chards are in blossom, the fields of win
ter wheat never looked more promising,
the atmospheric conditions have prepared
the land in the best possible manner for
crops, and Nature seems to have just
laid herself out " to teach an object les
son to the politicians on wasted opportu
mites. She sits on every rail fence and
trudges behind every farmers plow,
pointing with one hand to the smiling
earth and to the promising harvest, and
with the other to Washington, and in
asks: why, when the Lord
has furnished every opportunity for the
prosperity, employment and general hap
piness of the people of this country,
should they be kept from enjoying their
blessings by statesmen who seem to be
equally incapable of doing anything or
doing nothing.

A VIII Case.

A will case in which all the people of
one township of Harrison county were
interested, was tried at Cadiz last week.
In Nottingham township lived plain
old farmer, John H. Kent and his wife,
Ruth j., who by honesty, industry and
frugality had accumulated a competency.
variously estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000. No children grew up around their
family board, but there were numerous
relatives who viewed the aged pairs sun
set of life with bright anticipations.
In 1885 Mr.. Kent died. He left will,
giving his widow, Ruth j., the bulk of
his estate She continued in the posses
sion of the same until the fall of 1891,
when she too died. Her will-for she
left one with numerous codicils attached
did not give the relatives of Mr.. and
Mrs. Kent what they expected. They al
legged that she at the time of the making
of the same, was not of sound mind and
was nnder undue restraint and influence
OF the part of INNER L. Knight and John
NJ. Garvin. The verdict of the jury sus-
tanned the will

Il
| Mrs. Elizabeth Haines, the wealthy
woman who bailed Carl Browne, Coxey's
Chief Lieutenant, out of Jail at Washing
ton, d. c., is former resident of Ohio,
says the Flushing Advertiser, and bears
the distinction of having made her own
fortune. She is the widow of MahIon
Haines, who many years ago kepta small
store at Washington. Guernsey county.
When her husband died she took charge
of the store and soon built up a trade
that in few years made her wealthy
woman in that vicinity. She moved to
Washington, d. C., and has been engaged
there ever since in the mercantile busi
ness, and has become very wealthy. She
was shrewd enough to know that going
on Brownies bond would bring her
thousand dollars worth of free advertis-
ing. She is said to be a remarkably
handsome woman, and to have refused
many offers of marriage from prominent
men of the Capital. Her husband was
once a partner in business with Joe
Mead, a brother of Frank and Eugene
Mead, of Flushing.

CONGRESSIONAL TALK.
Hon. L. Danford May Be Considered
Candidate-Other Notes.

Hon. L. Danford May Be Considered q
Candidate-other Notes.
The Congressional situation in this
county has not materially changed since
last week as far as surface indications go.
The candidacy of Captain Danford
seems to meet with great deal of favor
all over the county, and the Captain can
be counted upon to be in at the finish,
As far as we are informed there will be
no other candidates in the contest, and
the fight in this county will be between
Danford and Poorman. Some have af-
fected to believe that Danford is not in
the fight to stay, but any one harboring
such an idea should speedily discard it,
if he wants to possess a correct view of
the situation. Colonel Poorman has is
sued circular address to his friends set
ting forth reasons for his candidacy, and
stating the grounds on which he bases
an appeal for support. Colonel Poor
mans supporters are quite active. and
within short time the fight will open
in earnest on both Sides
Within few days it has been an
nouneed that Judge Isaac Taylor, of
Carrollton, is candidate, and this in
creases the number of candidates In the
district to about eight. Although it is
not probable that that many will get into
the Convention. 1t seems that General
D. A. Hollingsworth, of Harrison, is to
have the easiest preliminary skirmisb,
since he is to have the delegation of his
county solid without contest

Yielding to pressure that is unpre-
cedented in this Sixteenth Congressional
District Hon. Lorenzo Danford has con-
sented to the use OF his name and Belmont
county looms up with tried and true
man who Is popular among all of his old
friends and with the new men who have
sprung into life since his active partici-
patton in politics. Familiar with the
working of the National Congress he is
eminently qualified to fittingly represent
this district in these times when loyalty
is much to be desired. He served in
Congress when the questions that are
now prominent were foreseen by the
shrewder heads of the government and
sitting in the councils of the nation when
Grant was at the head he heard the sug
gestion twenty years ago that the states
men of the country would be called upon
sooner or later to bring their brains into
play upon some plan to avoid conflict
between the millions of toilers and those
in whose hands wealth was accumulating.
Ever since those days that suggestion
has been revolyed in the mind of man
who was always in touch with the people,
a man who was picked from the ranks
and whose selection to Congress only
him more fOrcefully with the
responsibility of representatives to the
people The name of Lorenzo Danford
will blazon over this district as the one
upon which all can unite to make his
election sure.-Bellaire Independent.

The handful of antagonism to Colonel
Poorman's re nomination in their anxiety
to get candidate to be used for the pur-
pose of dividing the delegation of Bel
mont county, reminds one of the story
of the old maid, who, growing desperate,
went out into the orchard to pray for a
husband In her deep, earnest solicItude
her invocations disturbed the rest of an
owl, and as her deep, pleading utterances
begging the Lord to send her husband
fell upon the stiffness of the night, the
owl uttered its Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! The
distressed maiden thinking it an inquiry
from above promptly answered: "Any-
body Lord" Candidates are found and
candidates are discarded with the same
facility that a fashionable young lady
adopts and discards her spring bonnets.-

cation of Harrison county at his back.

1t is stated now that Major Petty is
not in the congressional contest, but that
he gives way to an open, clear contest
between Hon. Lorenzo Danford and Col.
Poorman. The latter does not under
stand this to be the situation, however.
Col. Poorman says Danford has not made
an announcement; that he has simply
treated the entreaties of his friends in an
Indifferent or rather casual way, and that
they, as enemies of his, interpreted this to
mean he W Would be candidate, and it was
so announced, but that Danford had not
yet squareIy entered the contest, and in
this kind of contest Col. Poorman feels
that he has little to fear as to the result.
When the time and place of the conyen-
ton is fixed things will take on more
definite shape = Bellaire Cor, Intelli-
gencer.
The announcement that Capt. Lorenzo
Danford will accept the Republican
nomination to Congress from this Dis
trict will give universal pleasure. He is
a stalwart Republican tried and true, a
statesman of rank, and an orator and
leader without a peer in Eastern Ohio.
He will enter the halls of Congress as a
leader, and he will be effective in legisla-
tion enforcing prosperous industry upon
our people. Look where you may his
superior can not be found, nor can one
who is more universally popular. A man
true to his country, true to his party, true
to his friends is Danford. The conven-
tion will nominate him, and the people
will elect BarnesvilIe Republican.
