of so, although she confesses that she

Woman has forced her way into the
orchestra seats of the Comedie Fran

however, and bOnnets and all other
forms of coverings for the head must
be left outside.
Judic is going to act in Berlin. She
says that France and Germany ought to
live on good terms with each other,

war, as she has two sons. Moreover,
she wants to see Emperor William, who

Some hero under the head of oil news
says. People in Morristown and vi
cinity are persuaded that the recent oil
well at Badgersburg is good for at least
sixty barrels per day-in spite of the
mystery maintained there" If he
will kindly send his address we will
forward him several large bottles in
which to collect those 60 barrels. AS
to the air of mystery surrounding it,
there has never been dry hole drilled
but what the people nearby claimed it
a mystery" Mysteries usually end
by having the casing pulled and a
wooden torpedo placed where it will
do the most good.

Sistersville, Jan. 3.-Another lively
well came in yesterday, and was doing
% to so barrels an hour when last
heard from. 1t is Finnegan, Flack &
Co. S No. >, on the Maud Hensel farm.
1t entered the sand about 1 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, and at once filled
up and began a good flow.
The well is located 500 feet east of
Galley and Co.'S No. /, on the Gale
baugh, and about 500 feet north of the
Shoestring Oil Co.'S latest hole. The
we'll should have come in two or three
weeks ago, but a fishing job held it
back until yesterday. This wells good
showing is taken as an indication of
something better north of the develop
ments in that vicinity.
The owners of the new strike are eX-
pecting their No. 4, on the same farm,
in tomorrow. 1t is expected to show
up fairly well. No. / is about 500 feet
east of the company's No. on that

MORGAN WANTS GOLD.

J. Plerpont Morgan, who had re-
Gently returned from Europe. said
pnor to the st. Louis Conventions:
@There can be no exaggeration, Of
the apprehensive feeling abroad in
regard to our discussion of gold and
silver. 1t Is most serious situation
for us. There is to my mind no other
question as grave - fore our people.
We need the confidence of the world
to be prosperous and must sustain a
gold standard in CIDER to deserve that
confidence. don't care 20 discuss
personal politics. There is but one
great issue--gold. That alone is
enough for platform"
Most decidedly that is sufficient for
a platform for j. Pierpont Morgan,
the head of the swindling bond syndi-
cate of 1895, and also for Baron Roth
schild. who shared the profits OF that
transaction with Morgan, and--possi-
bly, with Grover Cleveland, Presi-
dent of the United States. The Ex-
ecutive of this Government, on Feb.
9th, 1895, sold secretly to the Morgan
syndicate slOO,OOO,OOO worth of U. S.
bonds at 104K On February 21st,
both III London and New York, the
spectators received offers in open
y market for three times that amount
of bonds at prices ranging from 1171a
to 1872. In that one transaction
alone, the people we're deliberately
swindled out of nearly S9,OU0,00O.
If Grover Cleveland was not party
te that swindle, then has he written
himself down as one unfit to control
the financial affairs of the Nation.
No wonder that j. Pierpont Morgan,
the bond shark, declares that gold
alone is enough for platform. 1t
is by gambling in the currency of
this Nation that he and his fellow
sharks thrive. prosper and grow fat.

Whats in the Wind?

This is the way that Hon. a. c.
Cleveland's presence i'll Carson
strikes Sam Davis:
A. @. Cleveland who was candi-
date for Governor on the Republican
ticket two years ago is in town.
Cleve is looking fine and seems to be
in this country on a mission. He says
that he agreed to leave the Repubi-
eau party two years ago if it didn't
get In lice for silver, and he has kept
his word.
1t seems little queer that a man
Of Clevelands we'll known political
sagacity didn't get onto the pro-
nounced gold element i'll his party at
least four years ago, because quite a
number of men who haven't the credit
for half the sagacity of Cleveland,
discerned this peculiar yellow color
in the complexion Of the party at that
time.
Cleveland says that the old line
Republicans are now giving him the
cold shoulder because of his bolt.
1t looks to the Appeal that the old
line Republicans are as thick about
him as flies about the bung-hole of Il
sugar barrel or else the Appeal don't
know who these people are. There's
something in the wind, and the APP
peal has vague idea that the bolt
was planned before the delegation
went on, as the leaders thought that
some substantial steps must be taken
to save them from total obliteration
in this campaign. The boiling should
have been done earlier in the game to
have been really effective. Person
ally Cleveland is the same old jolly
wag as ever, and we hope before he
leaves town, he will run with some
Donna fide silver men.
Come out to the ranch Cleve, and
stay over night, and after supper we'll
talk silver until bed time.

STRANGE ACCIDENTS TO BIRDS

An Irish naturalist once observed a
dumlfn acting in very curious manner
on the seashore. The bird would alight
then fly short distance, then alight
again. violently shaking its head. A
round lump appeared fastened to its
beak. It turned out that the bird had
tnnocently attempted to investigate
cookie which it had found open. The
shell had closed on its bill.
A poor little chafin was found dead
near Epson with its lower mandible 80
firmly imbedded in the she'll of beech
nut that 1t had been unable to extri-
cate it and had died of starvation.
A hen pheasant was observed by a
sportsman to be flying around and
around in wild manner. On being
shot it was discovered to have large
oak leaf impaled upon its beak in such
way as to totally obscure its vision.
Herons sometimes choke Themselves
