The School House and the Amer
ican Flag.

Last week The Valley Journal had
a good deal to say concerning all
"American Flag" which, it claims. was
presented to the schools by some la
dies of the town, and very strongly
intimates that the said flag was stolen
or has strayed off to parts unknown,
and that too, with the know
ledge and connvance of the school
Board, or at least some of its mem
bers.
lfthere was anything in the story
either morally or patriotically there
might be something in all of the Jour
nails fuss, to interest the average citi-
zen, but there is not; because:
First the ladies Of the town did not
present the schools, nor any one for
them, with an American Flag"
THERE'S no American fag,. anymore
than there is European flag or an
Asiatic flag.
There is U. S. flag, but no body
of women, or men, boys, or girls, ever

Women at the Polls.

Five hundred and ten women vo-
ted on Monday. The issue of inter
est was the election or defeat of
Oliver Wright. The election of Mr..
Wright was not only personal tri-
umph for the candidate, but is de-
cree that personal abuse will not sue
ceed in politics. The "Maria Hal
PIN scheme is not approved in Amer
ican politics, and campaign ofper-
fsonal abuse results in no public good.
The women were as ardent and
intense in their support and opposi-
ton to candidates as were the men.
They electioneered and brought in
the voter, and staid at the polls, and
conducted themselves much in the
spirit that animates the old citizen
in ahot campaign. They had their
spats and rackets, proper contin-
gent in politics. They were "Fer
and Fernenst" each other as men are,
and they had it right and left, up and
down, the whole day long.
Now the fights over. Both sides
did their level best. With the wo-
men nearly equally divided, it may
be called a "stand off," Let us SO
consider it. They won and they lost,
Just as we looked at it.
The day after an election we" Bad
men" quit fighting. Will not the
"Good women" follow our example,
and let the bugles sing truce until
the next election.

THE School Election was not a
campaign against Messrs Kreig and
Schlagetter. These gentlemen are
among our most esteemed and pop
ular fellow citizens, and both would
make excellent and acceptable mem.
bers of the School Board. They
were unfortunately involved in an
issue, not of their making, but an
issue that entered in the contest,
and the opposition to the sIssue"
defeated the ticket upon which their
names appeared as candidates.
Messrs Kreig and Schlagetter, as in
dividuals, did not have fair test of
their personal popularity.

THE WAR NOT OVER.
Members Of Fishing Greek COnfcderncy
Attempt to Tar aud Feather u Veteran.

Bloomsburg, Pa, July At was sup
posed until today that the famous
Fishing Creek Confederacy had been
dead more than thirty years. Last
night Richard Stiles, of Philadelphia
was shamefully assaulted In revenge
for his service In the war and against
the Confederate uprising In Columbia
county. Stiles formerly resided at Ben
ton. this county. and Is now visiting
his son there. Last night he was at
tackled by two men who attempted to
tar and feather him. Although Mr..
Stiles is veteran with but one arm,
he frustrated his assailants until peo-
pie came to his aid. Then the rascals
fled. Their intended victim was not
injured.
At the outbreak of the war Stiles re-
sided at Benton, which was the seat OF
what was called "Copperhead" dis
trict. 1t became known as the Fishing
Creek Confederacy and was so serious
that several companies of soldiers We're
sent from the field to crush 1t. During
this time Of excitement, Stiles was Il
strong Union man, and his life was
often threatened by the southern SYM
pathiZers. One night a coffin was left
1t his door, labelled 1.-The Fishing Creek
Confederacy," and was carried before
the deserters who We're afterward cap
tured by troops at their homes at Ben
ton on their return march.
Stiles went to Philadelphia to live
when the wac was over. As he has not
been here for years. it is regarded as
certain that the attack upon him last
night was the work of former members
Of the notorious Fishing Creek Con-
federacy. who had waited third Of
a century to get revenge.

Buffalo, N. Y, July Awhile 10000
people sat In the new grand stand at the

which held forty or fifty people at the
time. Underneath the stairway was a
wine room which had been crowded
with people only moment before.
They were climbing back to their seats
IN the stand to witness the start of a
race, when the accident occurred. In
caving in so suddenly the stairway
took with il section of the grand
stand and piled about sixty people,
men. women and children in a mass.
Then the immense crowd stood up in
their seats and rushed toward the stair
way and then back from 1t again.
In the stampede women tainted and
We're trampled upon, jumped from the
stand to the ground and in other ways
contributed to the excitement. After
the stand had been cleared the people
were held back with difficulty. while
those who had fallen were extricated.
Carriages were soon at hand and took
to their homes about forty men and
women who were but slightly injured
or who suffered from shock. Ambu-
lances took the most severely injured
to the hospitals.

GAS WELL BREAKS LOOSE.
Manufacturers Fear 1t May Drain tn.
Alexandria Field.

Elwood. Ind, July 4.-The strange ac-
tions of natural gas well, owned by
the DePauw Gas company, at Alexan-
dria, have caused anxiety among the
citizens of that place as well as among
all kinds of manufacturers in the gas
belt. over month ago it broke its an
chor and began flowing water at an as
tCnishing rate, but was finally confined.
Then another well half mile away
broke loose and the artesian we'll went
dry. cutting off the city's water supply
In day or SO gas began to escape
from the ground around the DePauw
well, and wells and cellars in the vicin-
ity were so filed with 1t that explosions
We're feared. 1t was decided that the
only way to prevent this would be
to turn the well loose, which was done
three week sago. Since then it has been
blowing off 100000 cubic feet per day.
The trouble is due to the fact that the
well was not packed deeply enough.

shot, but a man named James Leonard

HELPED TO HANG Her LOVER.
Texas Farmer aud Ills Daughter Murder
the Lattcr's SuitOr Curious Tale Of
Texas Pcrfidy and Crime.

San Antonio. Tex, July 4.-The body
of Albert Blackman, a well-to-do young
man, was found near Logarto, Live
oak county, week ago. Around his
neck was a rope. ard 1t was evident
| that he had been hanged to the limb
| of a tree, under which the body lay.
| He had last been seen alive in the com
| pany of Bessie Harris, the daughter Of
a farmer of that locality. At the coro-
| ner's inquest Bessie testified that
Blackman committed suicide by hang
| ing, and that she witnessed the deed
| and after he was dead she cut his body
| down.
Suspicion was aroused and warrants
We're issued for the arrest of the Harris
| girl and her father and mother. The
| preliminary examination of the prison
ers has just been held, and through the
| confession of Bessie Harris on the wit
ness stand the full details of the crime
came out. She said that Blackman
| had been counting her for some time
against the wishes of her parents, and
| that the latter, through their talk,
caused her to become insanely jealous
| OF the young man. Her father finally
| arranged with her to put Black man out
| of the way.
On the night of the killing she met
| Blackman, ard they went for a walk.
| She detained her lover in lonely place
until her father arrived with a rope.
| and they then told Blackman that they
were going TO hang him. The girl
states that Bidckman did not offer any
resistance while the rope was being
placed about his neck, and that she
tied the knot with her own hands
| Then, at the command of her father,
| Rlackman climbed a tree and swung
himself off. He died very easily"
| concluded the girl. After he was quiet
cut the rope and let his body down to
| the ground"
| The girl and her parents are held
| charged with murder.

The Owner Of the Cow That Caused he
Chicago Fire Passes AWAY.
Chicago. July AIRS. Catharine
OLeary died yesterday afternoon. She
was the owner Of the fractions cow
which in a barn in the rear of 1871 De-
koven street. on memorable night in
October. 1871, kicked over lamp and
started a blaze which cost Chicago
$3.50, 100000. Since the night Of that
historic conflagration Mrs. OLeary's $
life has been made miserable on ac-
count Of being held responsible for the
loss of life and enormous destruction
of property.
She denied the story vigorously. to
the committee which investigated the
fire and It's causes, and made atiidavits
that the allegations about herself and
the cow and the lamp were not true.
