WAaHISGToS, u. c., NOV. %.
Congressman Settle and Pearson have
been admitted to the Quay-Platt COM
bne This means that they will be al
lowed to name the North carolinlans
who will receive Office In the organiza-
ton of the House Of Representatives.
Mr.. Fortune will probably receive the
place Of Assistant Superintendent OF
the Document room so long held by
Col. Henry G. Williams. The State
will not receive any other large place.
Mr.. Fortune is candidate for book-keep-
er.
Senator Buffers house, I'LL @. St,
is being beautifully furnished. Mrs.
Butler will use the handsome china
and solid silver inherited from her great
grandmother.
Senator Butler will probably organ
ize during the winter silver party
which he calculates on leading to vie
tory in 1900. The fight will be made
mainly on this issue. 1t is needless to
speak of the great ability of Marion
Butler as an organizer He is self-re-
liant, independent, and able.
The civil service came in fashion ten
years too soon. Is 1t not possible, that
part of the Democratic "WaterlOo" Is
due to TIE tact that very few Republi-
cans have yet been turned out OF office.
Notwithstanding this is supposed to be
Democratic administration, still the
Republican party have eight-tenths OF
| all the best offices here at Washington.
| This remarkable fact has been ascer-
tanned since the election by several
bright Democrats in each OF the de-
partmcnts making a canvass OF Their
respective departments and then com
pairing notes. They find that In sew
eral large bureaus there is not a Dem
ocrat employed. In the post office de-
partment with three exceptions, all tie
good soft berths are held by Republl-
cans The same condition prevails IN
the War, State and Navy Department.
In the Treasury and Interior depart
ments, Democrats have q better show
ing, though even IN these departments
seven out of ten are Republicans. The
Disbursing of the Treasury, as we'll as
the Internal Revenue Division, is still
in the hands OF the Republicans. The
names of all employees with their sala-
ries and politics are to be printed, and
it will no doubt create much surprise
among "the boys" in the trenches.

Hoods Is Wonderful.

No less than wonderful are the cures
accomplished by Hoods Sarsararilla,
even after other preparations and
physicians prescriptions have failed.
The reason, however, is simple. When
the blood Is enriched and purified,
disease disappears and good health re-
turns, and Hoods Sarsaparilla Is the
one true blood purifier.
Hoods Pills are prompt and efficient
and do not purge, pain or grippe. 25c.

TREES AND ELECTRIC WIRES.
Matter That the City Council
should Attend to at Once.

Savannah, Sept 23.-Editor Morning
News A large and valuable tree at my
residence has been killed by attaching
electric wires to 1T. With a view or
saving other trees to which electric wires
are attached or where the wires pass
through the foliage 1 enclose a clipping
from the Chicago Record of Sept. H. and
request that you publish it as being OF
public interest John +. Wheaton.
1t is a question whether the stringing
of electric wires in cities and villages
will not destroy large proportion of the
shade trees. Complaint is made in several
cities that where the wires pass through
the foliage the trees in nearly every in
stance have died, presumably from the ef-
fects of the electric current 1t has been
noticed also that the death of the trees
almost invariably follows season of rain.
when the wet leaves are good conductors
of electricity and carry II from the wires
to the trees. In some cases the death
of trees has been caused by wires sup
posed to be thoroughly insulated, the
covering having been rubbed off the wires
by the friction Of the branches when
The evidence that the trees have been
killed by electricity is furnished by the
fact that in numberless instances the
trees through which the wires pass died
in an hour during storm, while those
standing few feet from the wires were
uninlured. These results will raise the
question as to the liability of electric light
companies for the damage caused by the
killing of shade trees The right TO strine
electric wires does not give the further
right to destroy the shade trees, which
may constitute the chief value of a piece
of real estate. Neither does it give the
right to lop off the branches and other
wise disfigure ornamental trees simply
because such branches happen to be In
the way of the wires. This has been
done by an electric light company in one
of our suburban villages, and MANY large
and beautiful trees have been practically
ruined by such vandalism.
This destruction of trees is quite likely
to lead TO expensive litigation before n

AN UNDERGROUND SEA.
The Expose of a Myth About an Al
legged Western Phenomenon.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Stories about a great subj erranean
lake or sea beneath Nebraska. Kansas
and part OF Indian Territory are going
the rounds OF the press said Robert T.
Hill Of the United States geological sur

relating TO bottomless ponds Occupyin,g
areas where patches Of land have SUNK
and disappeared. Other reported phenOm-
ena supposed to be in the same connec-
uon are roaring wells in which water
such tales become current periodl-
cally. SO far as the wells are concerned.
they are based on fact / myself have
seen a number of wells in which the
water rose and fell at intervals. This
IS not an uncommon phenomenon in parts
OF the west 1t has relation to changes
Of the barometer When the barometer

being greater, the water in such wells

There are many phenomena connected
with western wells and springs which
are calculated to excite the attention Of
an observer from the east; They are
puzzling oftentimes even to the scientific
student. 1 have never seen a well that
roared, but l know Of no reason why
such thing might not happen. There
are wells from which currents of air
come up. Stories are told OF magnetic
wells, in the neighbOrhOOd Of which the
needle Of the compass is affected. 1 never
saw one, and no facts appear TO sup
port this particular yarn Water is the
most common substance in the world,
and there is nothing about which so
much humbug exists.
The most remarkable well have ever
seen was on the old battlefield of Stone

He made the hole big enough to hold

are common enough. They are frequent
in the limestone region Of Texas, in the
gypsum region of New Mexico, in the
Appalachian region, and in the limestone
region of Iowa and Missouri. The very
fact that these streams are flowing shows
that they are seeking a base level, and
hence 1t is useless to try to tap them
by arteslan wells, because the water
Will not rise.
There is no such thing in the world
as an underground lake or sea. Never
theless, such lakes have been created,
frequently by the Imagination OF hopeful
settlers in the west The truth in this
matter was established years ago by the
government engineers, who, under the
direction of Col. NettletOn, journeyed
Nebraska They sounded every well they
found, studying the underground water.

Coquettish patches on tie face,
With powdered hair, as long ago,
Add quaint and pretty air of grace,
Each tripping maid with ightsome tread
In dainty shoes, most high of heel,
With eyes that laugh and up tossed head
GlIdes through the old Virginia reel,

Weaves golden meshes of romance,
And Cupid speeds his arrows flight

Three People Arrested for Murder.

Detective James O'Brien, of Wilkes
barre, and Thomas Quigley, of Miners
Mills, on Monday night arrested three
colored people, Frank Shafer, James
Miller and Hester Brace, woman,
charged with the murder of four Hun
garians and the wounding of eight
others at laboring camp on the
mountain near Wilkesbarre last October.
Several Hungarians were asleep in a
house which was blown up by dynamite.
Shafer made full confession. He
also implicated besides those arrested
Nelson Miller and his wife, Sarah. He
said they stole the battery, wires and
dynamite a month previous to the affair;
that the Miller boys placed the dynamite
under the house and he (Shafer) managed
the battery. The capture of these
people is considered very clever piece
of detective work, as the crime was
shrouded in mystery since committed.

Now that the Pottsville and Wilkes
barre politicians have joined hands to
oppose the Quay county movement it's
friends in this district will do their
utmost to Offset the efforts of its op-
ponents. The claim that the people of
the Schuylkill side of the proposed new
county were opposed to the division is
exploded by the petitions which have
already been signed by seven-eighths of
the entire population of that district.
The commissioners of the two old
counties are arranging for grand
junketing trip to Harrisburg next Tues
day to protest to the governor against
the bill but their arguments will be met
and refuted, just as they were before
the senate and house committees. The
opinion that the bill will be signed grows
stronger every day. That it will be
carried by large majority at the polls
is conceded, and some people are already
guessing whom the governor will appoint
as the officers of the new county for the
first wear
