OBITUARY NOTES.
Ex Congressman Tom" Bayne of the
Allegheny district, committed suicide by
shooting himself through the head, at his
home in Washington, last Saturday morn
ing. He had returned the previous
evening IN his usual health, but during the
night had slight hemorrhage ofthe lungs,
which, it is thought made Tim fear con-
sumption.
Jonathan Watson whose career in the
oil region has been the most romantic OF
any man who took part in the production
of oil, died at Clifton Spring. n. Y, last
Saturday. He was IS years of age and
came to Pennsylvania about 1S40. In
company with Eben Brewer. he purchased
large tracts of land near Titusville and
built saw mills at various places. They
did an immense business. In 1858 Colonel
Drake, the discoyeror of petroleum leased
a farm Of Mr.. Watson aud in 1889 the first
oil well was drilled en- Mr.. Watson's land.
The tremendous excitement that followed
the discovery of oil made Mr.. Watson en-
ormously wealthy. he sold his land to
eastern oil companies at fabulous figures.
A farm known as Watson's fats, Just below
that city. bringing one million dollars alone.
He built a splendid residence there and for
years was almost the autocrat of the city.
His first wife having died, he subsequently
married girl who had been educated at
his expense and for number OF years they
lived happily together, but the clouds of
financial adversely began to gather over
his head and it is said that he drilled oil
wells under spirit guidance. Dozens of
dry holes failed to dampen his faith in the
unseen influence which he claimed con-
| trolled him, and his money melted away
like water and the panic of 1873 still fur
ther crippled his resources.

Festival.

The festival given by thu W. G. T. U.
of West Liberty, Tuesday evening, June
IA, was grand success. 1t was held in
the Church grove, and everything was so
tasteiully arranged and the grove so well
lighted, that it showed that the ladies
had taken great pains to make everything
attractive; and il took only glance to see
that everyone was enjoying the supper
but while all nature is rejoicing why should
not We rejoice with Joy and hilarity.
The boys seemed somewhat bashful at
first, but when they saw the fine disp lay
of cake, strawberries, ice cream and lemon
ade they could not resist the temptation
to ask their lady friends TO take supper
with them, and the eatables disappeared
very rapidly and when the supp or was
over the ladies realized that they had tax
en- in something over $2S
This Union was organized less than a
year ago and they seem to be earnest
workers. They set noble example which
is worthy Of imitation by anyone. Tho
ladies are working for a good cause and
they should be encouraged by the success
they are haYing; but they need the the CO.
operation of all who are working for the
temperance cause, and all should in some
way or other put their shoulder to the
wheel and help carry on the good work;
for all are required TO use their God given
powers; and for what noblier cause can we
put forth our efforts than to wipe the rum
curse from our country. We sincerely
hope the ladies will ask Gods blessing, aud
continne to carry on the good work.

DETAILED reports from the recent floods
in the west show the railroad losses to be
something immense. On two railroads
alone the loss is over two and quarter
millions and the Union Pacific, the report
says, suffered more than any other railroad,
its tracks from Umatilla to Portland still
being under water, and its loss being con-
servatively placed at 81, 100000 to date.
The Northern Pscifc's loss will be about
half that amount. A year will elapse be-
