ing smoothly with good fighting chance
of success at the October election.
The state will probably go for Rryan
at the November election, but owing to
the present laws, which are antagonistic
to the interests Of majority Of the pr
ducers Of the state, many democrats as
we'll as republicans will unite in elect
ing progressive men to replace the Old
dead mossbacks that now hold the power
Of Office.
The progressive democrats know that
the era Of prosperity that has struck the
south has been brought on by the north
ern men that have come down here
and invested capital and opened up many
Of the industries Of the states, and they
also know that the same capital demands
recognition at the hands Of the law
makers of the states, consequently there
is liable to be great turning over OF
state governments.
1t is we'll known that lawlesness at the
elections nearly ruined the prospects OF
the south and it is seen that an hon
est ballot must be had and an honest
count 10 follow. The educational test
will be applied to the elections hereafter
in Florida and the man that can't read
his ballot and mark it properly, cannot
vote. Many cOlored votes will be lost,
as we'll as many white votes, for many
white democratic voters will not go to
the poles at all for they say 1t will hui
initiate them in the eyes Of the niggers,
but the said cOlOred brothers will try and
vote, if he fails it is all right with him.

made to weigh one ounce and the silver
dollar would be made to weigh sixteen

this may sound, this very explanation
was given in answer to direct question

All the big railroads are now wrestling
with the problem of reducing the num-
ber of cars and adding to the tonnage
carried by the car, so as to make up for
the decrease in cars. The custom OF
hauling one car for hundred miles with
half load will be abolished as far as
possible, and the rule will be to load all
cars to their full capacity, and in this
manner add to the average trainlOad.
This plan insures greater earning per
car and per train with a proportiOnate
decrease in expenses Of transportation.
A railroad official recently made the
assertion that within the next five years
one Of the most extensive lines Of road in
the United States would be run entirely
by electricity; all the engines using elec-
trio power instead of steam, and expert
electricians would take the place Of the
present engineers. He claims that the
trains will be heated and lighted by cleo
tricity as run by it, and a phonograph
will call the names Of the stations. Al
every seat will be an electric bell to call
the porter. A long distance telephone
line will be added to the service inside Of
year, and will connect extreme termi.
nails with all the offices along the line.

An order has been issued from the

of custom house employees. That is
proper, for in many instances individ-
uals were employed at a salary Of $1,000

command five hundred in any other
branch of trade. The government
should not pay any more for similar
services performed than private COM

FRED sANrLEY
Arrested for Robbing Stores in Oberlin
and Taken to Jail.


Arrested for Robbing Stores in Oberlin
and Taken to Jail.
After the robberies were committed in
Oberlin the whole town was on the alert
to catch the burglars. Seven stores had
been entered and large quantities ofgoOds
carried away. Fred Santley was cap
tured in an orchard near the Nickel
Plate Quarries in the northwest part Of
LAGRANGE township. He was taken to
town and taken before Justice Fauver
and waived examination and in default
of bail was sent to Elyria.
The following is taken from the Ober-
lin Owl:
After the burglars hearing, and be-
fore he was taken to Elyria, he was in
terviewed by representative of the Owl
in his cell at the city prison. The Owl
man had recognized him the evening be-
fore as a young man by the name OF
Fred Santley, a printer from Wellington,
who had previously worked in 0berlin.
Upon being questioned he admitted his
identity and finally made full confess
ion, saying that he was guilty and tell
ing all about how the burglary was COM
mitted. He said that there were three OF
them in the gang and that they walked
to Oberlin from Elyria, Sunday night
having reached Elyria that day from
Chicago.
Their plans had been deliberately laid
to rob stores in 0berIin, Elyria, Yelling
ton and Norwalk, and thought best to
start at Oberlin first. They got here
about Z O clock Sunday evening and hid
in the school house yard until the cleo
trio lights went out, having first taken
a tour Of the town and located the differ
ent stores they were to enter. They
missed their calculations first on Stones
store and got into Sage Bros. Stones

men cut his wrist badly in get.

came last, and the work was all done and
they were we'll on their way out OF town

ing the whole job in an hour and half
When the Nickel Plate quarry wa;

on ahead taking the handkerchiefs which
were not recovered and wearing pair OF
Stones five dollar shoes. The two Others
went into the woods where Santley was
captured as previously stated. Santley
claimed not to know who his companions
were, saying that they were a couple OF
Chicago crooks whom he ran across in
that city. But he stated that the one
who cut his wrist claimed to have had q
hand in the robbery Of the Citizens bank
here couple years ago.
Santley is not bad hearted fellow and
was universally liked hy his companions
when he worked here, but evil associates
have brought him to his present condi'
ton. He announces his intention ol
pleading guilty and he will no doubt be
given from eighteen months to two years
in the penitentiary.

Before nominations were made this
district was considered hopeless. The
Republicans have always carried it.
Hon, G. E. Meeker (Pop.) carried it
before the new appOrtiOnment was
made, when Wellington city and
township were not part of it, but
since that time the Republicans have
held it. Hon. Wm. HObsCn carried
it in 1892, and SpiuknaIi ip 1894.
The limits Of the district were
searched for man that could carry
all elements at the election, and hold
the beastly Republican majority
down, 1t was finally decided that
Ed Hackney combined the necessary
elements. Mr.. Hackney was young
