ton of our assets were not due until July fol.
lowing, consequently the necessity of the

ington this week than Congress.
The reason obyious. The Senate
can transact little, if any, impor-
tant business until the question of
reorganization has been settled, and
the House an do little until Speaker
Reed announces the committees,
while the National Committee will
decide when and where the conven
ton that will nominate the next
president will be held. Delegations
are here actively working for the
six cities which are competing for
the honor Of entertaining the Con
vention. While the members of
the committee are reticent on the
subject the confidence Of the st.
Louis contingent is such that nearly
everybody who's not actively cham
poning some other city seems to be
of the opinion that the convention
will be held in that city, and the
belief is general that June will be
the month.
incidentally with the meeting of
the National Committee crowd of
enthusiastic McKinlevites have de-
cended upon Washington and
opened headquarters for the pur-
pose Of pushing along the boom of
Ohro's fayorite son. which they con-
slider not only a good thing but the
best thing Of its kind now on the
road. They found plenty of sym
pathizers in Washington, rs few
men have more personal friends in
Congress than Gov. Mckinley, and
few of those friends have warmer
feelings for him than the big man
in every sense Of the word-who
presides over the House and who
is one Of his rivals for the president
tial nomination. The two men
worked side by side in the House
for long period and fully under
stand each others worth, and, white
neither would probably say as much
for publication, it would be good
guess to say that each Of them is the
others second choice for Pres dent
bat it must not be inferred from
such q guess that either would sulk
should the National Convention in
its assembled wisdom decide to nom
mate one Of the other capable aud
popular gentlemen who have been
mentioned. They were both Re-
pubicans of the tried aud true kind,
who always work their hardest for
party success regardless Of who may
head the ticket.

THE LAND OF SUNSHINE.
A Unique Country where the Skies are
almost Never ClOuded, while the
air is Cool and Bracing,
like Perpetual Spring.

AS an anomalous southern resort,
by reason of the fact that there one
may escape summer heat no less than
winter cold, New Mexico is rapidly be-
coming famous. Averaging through
out the entire territory 5, 600 feet in
altitude above sea-level, and charac-
terized by dry air which, unlike a
humid atmosphere, is incapable of
communicating heat, the temperature
in midsummer remains at a delight
fully comfortable degree through the
day, and at night becomes invariably
brisk and bracing. The sunshine is
almost constant, yet the most violent
out-of-door exertion may be undertake
en- without fear of distressful conse-
quences. Sunstroke or prostration
are absolutely unknown there. 1t is
an ideal land for summer outing
Its climate is prescribed by reputable
physicians as specific for pulmonary
complaints, and the medicinal Hot
Springs at Las Vegas are noted for
their curative virtues. The most
sumptuous hotel in the west, the
Montezuma, is located at these springs.
Write to Jno. J. Byrne, 1913 Monadnock
Block, Chicago, for "The Land of
Sunshine" an entertaining and pro-
fusely illustrated book descriptive of
this region, the most picturesque and
romantic in the United States.

OLD But SENSIBLE.
The Nine O'Clock Cgrfew for Children
Now Being Revived.

There is something more than
sentiment and love for old time ways
and observances says the Interior, in
the signal revival of the curfew in
towns throughout the West. Thirty
one towns in Minnesota alone, five
in South Dakota, two in Michigan
and several in Illinois, have recently
passed what is known as "the cur
few ordinance" by which all children
under the age of sixteen are to be off
the streets after nine o'clock at night.
Several towns of Illinois, also, have
adopted the curfew and any one at
all familiar with the life of our great
cities would have no hesitancy in
saying that the cities need such an
ordinance far worse than the smaller
towns. 1t is almost inconceivable
the earelessness of some parents in
this regard, considering the many
dangers and temptations of city life.
1t is true that boys and girls in
cities learn early to look out for
themselves, but even in cities there
are few boys and girls under sixteen
who do not need parental vigilance,
perhaps all the more from their be-
ing city bred. The curfew question
should be agitated in every village
and smaller town and even in cities.
The proper place for all children I'M
der sixteen is with their parents af
ter nine o'clock at night, and there
are not few older people to whom
it would be blessing were the law
extended to meet their cases. The
custom has in its favor poetieal ira
ditions and observances and carries
with it a wholesome return to the
simplicity of older days as regards
the liberty of children. Even in far
away Hobart, Tasmania, they are
discussing the propriety of ringing
the curfew bell, and it would not be
surprising if this ancient and excel
ent custom should once more become
as general as in early days. While
the age is generally set at sixteen,
no harm would be done in many cas-.
es if year or two more were added.

Newspaper DOnt's.

Don't discontinue a paper until
you have squared up with it.
Don't misinform a newspaper in
order to 'get even" with somebody.
Do your own fighting.
Don't tell the editor that you de-
test newspaper notoriety and then
get mad if he believes you.
Don't abuse a paper unless you
pay for it. Borrowers are the great
est fault finders a newspaper has to
contend with.
Don't expect a paper to abuse the
city government for your especial
benefit. Tell your troubles to the
police.
Don't abuse the paper if it uses
space in printing something you do
not consider worth reading. Those
who read that part of the journal
may think your favorite matter pure
rot. A paper is built to please many
not one.
Don't take paper from the Post
office for five years and then refuse
to pay for it because yoa never sub
scribed for it nohow." This is THE
very, pure and simple. You could
have refused it four years and eleven
months before.
Don't get mad if your visitors
name does not appear in the person
al columns. Perhaps you did not
tell the editor; he's no mind reader.
Don't stop paper if your three
column contribution is condensed
into eight lines. The condenser may
have done you a great favor
Don't declare paper unreliable
because an important item contains
grave error. The editor may have
gotten his information from your
brother.
Don't cuss the editor because his
opinions do not conform to yours.
If they did he might be variance
with some eight or ten million other
persons.
Don't say paper is mo count
unless you have demonstrated abil
ity to run one yourself. Perhaps
you have failed in everything you
have tried to do.
Don't get mad if your neighbor's
doings are referred to more frequent
ly than your own. Your neighboi
uses his mouth. Your modesty may
be keeping you in obscurity.
Don't delay paying your subscrip.
ton because it is small matter. Il
several thousand other subscribers
did the same way it would kill the
paper in six months.
Don't expect more of the paper
than you do for it. If you expect
the paper to speak well of you, you
must speak well of the paper Some
people say the paper has nothing in
it, the editor has no get up, is toe
old fogy and has no enterprise. And
yet if the paper would say half that
much about them or their business
even though it be true, they would
never take the paper again and per
haps never speak to the editor again
"Do unto the paper as you would
have it do unto you. -

SENATOR ELKINS HURT.
He Tackles the Cav and Festive Bicya
and Sustains sprained ankle.

A dispatch from Elkins says tina
United States Senator Stephen B,
Elkins met with an accident the
other morning at Halliehurst, his
country place in the town of Elkins.
Mr. Elkins is quite a robust man,
and lately has been gaining flesh
rapidly. To overcome this he some
time since took to the bicycle.
While he is comparatively expert,
his age makes him little clumsy,
and while going down a slight de.
scent the other morning, he toppled
over, spraining his ankle severely.
He was helped home, and the ankle
become very much swollen.
The senator decided to waste no
time, and, accordingly, he boarded
his private car and started for New
York, where he will have the best
attention possible. The local phys
ieian feared there might have been
some small bones dislocated or frac
tured. He cannot bear any weight
upon the ankle and moves with q
crutch

DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF MoNoNGALIA COUNTY.
A TEST WELL FOR OIL
Being Pint Down in Preston Count

Being Pint Down in Preston County.
A special from Kingwood, w Va,
says that preparations are being
made to bore for oil on the farm of
H. A. Grimm, in Mountain Valley,
Grant township, near the Pennsylya-
MIA line. Prospectors think there is
oil to be found in that locality. The
well will be put down within the
next thirty days by Tobin & Sliney,
the well known oil drillers Of Smith
field. Pa. The derrick timber is on
the ground and the machinery will
soon arrive. These men have leased
$4,000 acres of land for oil purposes
in the neighborhood of this well, and
mean business.
Thirty years ago a well was drilled
on this same farm. Oil Of a good
quality was found at a depth of 73S
feet, but for a lack of sufficient capt
tai to develop the territory, the we'll
was plugged up and abandoned. A
few weeks ago this oil well was open
ed. Evidences of oil were found, bat
the owners decline to state the exact
nature of the discovery, The new
well will be within l 1000 yards of the
Eureka pipe line.

Then and Now.

Will some of Calamity James ca
lamity howlers explain why it was
that three years ago Homestead, Pa.
was the center of disturbance, and
reduced wages was the rule. The
Mckinley style of protection was
then in full blast. The world knows
the history of the Homestead riot
In the same section the greatest
advance in wages ever known was
made a few days ago, when 5000
puddlers in the first district of Pitts
burg were given voluntary advance
and 10000 puddlers in all shared in
the increase. Later on the same
beneitawill accrue TO 10000 finish
ers. This is by no means an isolat
ed case. The industries under the
new tariff law have taken on life
and vigor perfectly amazing to the
calamity howlers and instances Of
wages advancing from 10 to 25 pei
cent. are common news stories every
day.
The Wilson bill is now in full
force. "a wayfaring man though 9
fool" can certainly see the difference

New York Wants the Convention.

The New York Herald says: 1T
is time that a Democratic national
convention be held in New Y ork city
The State and the metropolis have
monumental claims upon the party
1t has furnished every Democratic
presidential candidate since the close
of the war, and has been on the vic
torlous side whenever the party has
won. The last convention held in
this city was that of 1868, when Sey-
mour and Blair were placed in nomi-
nation in Tammany Hall. That was
twenty seven years ago. Since then
the Democrats have convened once
in Baltimore, in 1872; twice in St.
Louis, in 1876 and 1888; once in
Cincinnati, in 1890, and twice in
Chicago, in 1884 and 1892. 1t would
seem that the West has had its full
share of conventions. There has
been none in the East since Greeley
was nominated in Baltimore, twenty
three years ago"

Takes the Pie.

The Belleyernon correspondent OF
the Uniontown Standard says: We
have a curiosity in nature showing
what a pumpkin vine of 100 feet in
length is capable of producing. On
this vine grew nine pumpkins, the
largest of which is on exhibition at
E. NJ. Kyle's store 1t weighs l63
pounds, measures 7 feet, inches in
circumference one way and the cir
conference measured 6 feet inches
when measured from stem round to
stern. The second largest is on ex.
hibition at the store of William Cor
win and weighs los pounds, and the
measurements are taken as the other,
6 feet inch by feet 3 inches.
This species Of pumpkin is called
the King of Mammoth and is excel
lent for table service. What farmer
of Fayette county lays claim to rails
ing nearly 900 pounds of pumpkin
from one vine? Now make this vine s
product into pies Of ordinary size
and you will have $3.50 of these cir
cular discs, which when cut into six
parts will furnish piece for each of
$500 guests. George Corwin of this
village raised these "Mammoths" by
ordinary cultivation and watering
them daily with the hose. Mr.. Cor.
win has been offered $40 for the
largest one by the man from whom
he purchased the seed.
