WAR. PREPARATIONS.

England Determined to Make n Great DIG
play OF Fighting Power.
LONDON, Jan. 1O.-Great Britain has
determined to make the greatest dis
play of fighting power the world has
ever seen. The feet will be the
strongest ever assem- bled under one
flag. Its full composition is not yet
known, but already II battlcships or
cruisers and II torpedo boat catchers
have been ordered to join it.
The purpose of this demonstration
may be to resent Emperor Williams S
action, or it may be declaration of
England's come one, comes alP' de-
fance against the world. 1t is some
thing which may work for peace, or
it may work for war. A good deal de-
pends upon the destination of the fleet,
which, of course, is a government Sc
cret. It's composition is of some sig
nifcance.
Conservative men still regard the
mobilization of this great fleet as n
precautionary and political measure,
rather than as Il war measure. Ger
many herself so regards it, for the
news of the preparation has not cre-
ated the sensation in that country
that it would otherwise have done.
1t is doubtful. however, if
each days addition to the
extensive war preparations being
made by Great Britain will be received
with equanimity by the continental
corps. 1t is now known that orders
have been given to the British naval
authorities for instant equipment for
sea of large number of warships
which would not otherwise be ready un-
til spring

says: Guanajay, just across the border
of Pinar del Rio province, is now the

is shown about the official headquar-
ters, and many of the precautions hur-
riedly taken for the city's defense are
being as quickly relaxed.

severe beating and most awful
fright, the little girl was unharm ed.

The other little girl, named Strain,
left the house in terror.

SOME SURPRISES AND OTHER ITEMS OF
INTEREST TO OIL MEN.
Sistersville, January 1O.-There was
quite surprise among oil men yester-
day afternoon, when word reached the
city that Wilson & Co.'S Jack Arthur
farm well, on Middle Island, had come
in dry. 1t had been considered one of
the most promising of the wells near
ing the pay streak, and was being
watched with much interest.
The report from this we'll says it
came in about 8 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. 1t Immediately filed 900
feet of the hole with salt water, with
no sign of the valuable fluid. That
the owners are disappointed in this
hole is putting it mild. They seemed
to haye had great confidence in maxi
ing a strike, and they were not alone
in their opinion.
The South Penn oil company has a
10-barrel producer in their No. 8 Nc
Cormick, on the Big Flint, Doddridge
county.
The well opposite Raven Rock owned
by F. +. Metzger and others which
was drilled in some time ago and clos
ed after being shot was recently put to
pumping and is said to be doing about
barrels.
Cal Watson and two of his assistants
returned on the noon tram from Point
Pleasant yesterday, after resurrecting
the tools and lowering the derrick on a

Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas and in
all these states l have come in con-
tact with all the leading Republicans
and they confidently expect to carry
one and all of them. But l am free
to say that a vigorous campaign must
be kept up until election day to ac-
complish what we hope and conf
IDENTIFY expect to achieve in each one
of these states"
Eyes, we are going to carry Nebras-
ka." said the senator, in a most as
surfing voice. "The farmers in Ne
braska are not being carried away
with the free silver idea. We have
had Populism out there six years and
the farmers who remained Republi-
cans during that time will be sound
Republicans this year. Then too, Mr..
Bryan is not new to us. There is
nothing in his candidacy to endanger
Republican success in Nebraska"

Kerr's hack, No. 35, was picked up
at 1870 o'clock last night on the side
walk at the corner of Cannon and
West Commerce streets, and sent to
the city hospital for treatment. He
was found in an unconscious condi-
ton at this corner at IL o'clock but
was allowed to lay there until 1890
for some unaccountable reason.
1t was at first thought he was dead,
but after Prof. Koch, at the hospital
had worked with him for two and
one-half hours, he revived him and
brought him around all right. His
SYMPTOMS appeared to be those of

For the Light.

For the Light
Just imagine Cicero, Demosthenes,
s. S. Prentiss, or any other great ora
tor telling his audience, in advance,
that at such a time and place Il will
make great oratorial effort,'
Did Cicero open his great effort by
saying: Now hear me give Catalina
ginger" In vanity the pea cock is
left miles in the rear by a presiden-
tial candidate.
When W. J. Bryan asserted in his
New York speech that if the United
States would open her minis to the
free, unlimited and unrestricted coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 ounces
of silver to one ounce of gold, such
act would raise the commercial value
of all the silver of the world to 16
ounces of silver to one of gold, he
busted" There is not man, woman
or child in the United States, not even
Bryan's idiot, or Bryan himself be-
lieves it. Such a policy might in
crease the value of silver, which is
now 80 ounces in silver to one of
gold, few cents and thus enrich the
silver barons, Steward, Teller and
others, his clients, but never bring it
to par with gold-hence cheap money
would be the sure result.
w. j. Bryan, Popocratic candidate
for president, is a great self contra
dictor. In the self same speech he de-
clares as follows: /. That the free
and unlimited coinage of silver, at
the ratio of 16 to 1 will greatly re-
1ieve the debtor class and the laborer.
2. That the free and unlimited coin
age of silver by the United States will
raise every ounce of silver in the
world to 100 cents in value-that is
put gold and silver upon exact par
ity, at 10 to 1. Then how is the deb
tor or laborer relieved?
=
w. J. B., Popocratic candidate for
president, has done but little for two
years past except traverse the Unit
ed States making free silver speeches,
and when charged in the great papers
with doing this. at the instance and
in the employ of the great silver mine
owners of the west at $4,000 per year
and expenses, he is as silent as an
oyster Well done Mr. W. J. B. A
non-denial is confession. No man,
not even w. J. B., will sit in the
White House whose opinion on a
government policy is purchased by
the money of clients.
