The Third Ticket Matter Has but a
Slender Basis.

For three weeks there has beer
more or less talk about third ticket
Many Populists are dissatisfied with
Robson and there are Of course somt
Republicans who encourage them in
way quite cruel, don't you know.
Last month nomination papers were
secretly drawn, although the RErLEc-
TOR at the time gave a hint Of it, and
they received q number of names.
Then for some reason the project was
dropped, and the Prohibition party
talked Of a convention. This too was
discouraged and for several days
there has been a report, mysteri-
ously yelled in generalities, that a
convention Of somebody or other
would be called yesterday. This was
of course News fake, and its only
excuse was 10 head off the movement
for fear Of its hurting Robson. 1t
has been currently reported that
nomination papers were in circulation
for Lew Geauque for sheriff. He de-
MES this and says no one has papers
out now. lie thinks q non-partisan
convention may be called in October
and says the call will not be issued
for a month"; at all. He says that
there will be but one candidate, sher-
III, and it is intimated that the man
aspiring to the office will be either
Mr.. Geauque or a young politician Of
Liberty township.
The Democrats meet Saturday and
5he only third ticket likely is theirs
providing the fusionists do not sell
hem out to the Pops.

AN EXPENSIVE TREE.
By Its Retention the Owner Has Lost
&45.OOO

From the Philadelphia Press.
Washington, Pa. Dec 22.--An expensive
apple tree stands on the Albert Smith
farm, in South Strabane township. 1t has
cost its owner over $4,000 In 1887 when
the Smith pool gushers commenced TO
break the oil market and ruin specula-
tors, the company which held the lease
on the Smith farm decided to locate a
eron and Smith properties
The owner of the land objected to the
location, claiming that if made on the
spot chosen favorite apple tree would
shave TO be cut down. The manager of the
drilling company had the timbers hauled
few feet, changed the intended position
OF the well and boiler house, placed them
just across the line on the Cameron farm
and drilled the hole within a few feet of
the original location.
The well produced 1900 barrels of oil per
day. large percentage of this petroleum
must have come from under the Smiths
farm, but the hole was on Cameronis land
and he of course received the ROYALTY. THE
well Is still producing oil and Cameron

The apple tree still lives, but has been
ruined by the closeness OF the well.
