Big end Little Postage Stamps.

The largest postage stamp ever issued
measured inches by 2-the size of the old
United States cent stamp, restricted to
packages of newspapers and periodicals
posted in bulk and never intended for let
ters. The penny Madagascar stamp sec
ond in regard to size, 3 inches by IL inches
was used to prepay postage on letters post
ell at the British consulate at Antananarivo,
where there was no other postohioe ~ 1856.
The private postage stamp Of Robinson 6,
Co. s express, with its figure Of bear. is o994
by IL inches. The stamp entitled Cali
tornia penny postage from the postofllce,
care of Penny Post Co." for 1885 is in size
21f by II inches. The quarter schilling
stamp of Mecklenburg-Schwe which
was issued in 1856 is the smallest ever issued
less than ope-fourth the size of the current
penny English stamp-and IL would take
about so of them to cover the surface of the
largest issued by the United States.--Col

Barney OConnor, the Caldwell
iointist, was sentenced to Jail for six
ty days and to pay fine of $4,000
and the costs Of prosecution by Judge
j. A. Brunette in the district court
Friday morning. He was convicted on
only one count-keeping a nuisance,
but the facts were such that Juds &c
Burnette very properly imposed a
greater punishment than the mini
mum. County Attorney H. L. Woods
stated to the court that Immediately
after OCOnnOr'S arrest on July 18th,
he reOpened his business and thirty
days later he had been arrested again.
But he Immediately reOpened his bust
ness and was still engaged in selling
intoxicating liquors and that a mes.
sage had come to him as county attor-
ney purpOrting to come from O'Con-
nor that he, 0'COnnOr, could not be

Woods also called the attention OF
the court to the reported attempt OF
O'COnnOr to tamper with the jury try
ing his case. The statements of the
county attorney were not cOntrOveEt.
ed by O'Connor or his attorneys.
After passing sentence upon O'COn.
nor, Judge Burnette stated that he
had in his possession two affidayitS
made by l. NJ. Horton and ]. J
Stephenson, both of Caldwell, to the
effect that after the jury in his case
had been sworn, O'ConnOr went tt
Horton and insisted upon Horton ask
ing the jury to 60 to a certain john
here in Wellington to have something
to drink at his, O'COnnor's, expense

He further stated that upon looking

DrOuth Elsewhere.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 1O.-For two
months severe drOuth has prevailed
all over Western Pennsylvania, West
Virginia, almost the entire state of
Ohio and parts of Indiana. In all
except the last named state there
has been a remarkable deficiency in
rainfall, according to figures of the
Pittsburg weather station.
Since April 20 there has been no
coal stage in the MOnOngahela river.
Not bushel Of coal has passed south
since that month and 5000 miners in
the river pits have been idle almost
the entire period. All the boats and
barges are loaded and 20 million
bushels Of coal has been waiting
three months for higher water on
which to 60 south.
At many points railroads are being
forced to haul water for engines.
The Ohio river is so low at East
Liverpool that the infuent pipes are
bare and the supply is scarcely sufi-
ctent for domestic requirements in
the towns, some of whose establish
mentS are idle this week.
Nine-tenths Of the small towns
have been strictly limited to the con.
sumption of water by police regula-
tiOnS. A large number of towns have
cut off shops and mills.
In Lawrence, Mercer and adjoining
counties farmers are selling their
stock because of the difficulty in keep.
ing cattle watered.
In all of the oil fields surrounding
Pittsburg the work Of drilling new
wells has been greatly interfered
with for moth on account of the
scarcity of water. So great has thi.
become in some sections as to cause a
practically complete suspension OF
operations.

people that thrOnged the streets last
Saturday evening aud their doubts
would have been dispelled. The

which many people are compelled to
