Is naturally falr-minded, level-headed,
with clear aud quick conceptions, and
an. excellent knowledge Of law. He is
logical and clear in his conclusions
and his opinions are sound because
based on knowledge, experience and
q logical mind. Personally, his char
acter as citizen and lawyer is with
out reproach. He is Il good public
speaker, and whether before q jury or
an audience, is argumentative, con-
vincing and earnest. AS states at
torney of this county Mr.. Young has
an enviable record. Some very inn
portant cases have come under his
charge and all have been Intelligent
~ and ably handled. In the prosecu-
ton of cases he has been impartial
and faithful, though sometimes the
culplits were persons Of considerable
political or social position, or had
been on friendly and intimate terms
with the prosecutor. To the county
board he has always rendered prompt
decisions, and has helped them ma
terially many times by his advice on
other than law points. The people OF
Pembina county know Mr.. Young,
they know he would make Il good
judge, and In his case the great ma
jority, irrespective Of politics, will ex-
press their opinions on their ballots
with q cross In the circle In front OF
his name, on November 3rd.

Summing up the Next Congress.

Let there be no fear about the Fifty
fifth Congress. 1t will be sound on
money and tariff In the Senate there
will be lightweight members and two
vacancies, from Delaware and Ken
tucky respectively. Out of these
eighty-eight Senators there are thirty
seven who may be depended upon to
oppose any free coinage bill, and it is
probable that Mr.. Murphy, of New
York, and Mr.. Mitchell, of Wisconsin,
will vote in accordance with the senti-
ment of their States on the money
question. This would make the sound
forces number thirty-nine in the SEN
ate, not counting two doubtful me em bers
from the Dakotas und one from North
Carolina. On the tariff question the
Senate.
In the next House of Representatives
there will be POS Republicans, of whom
all but FIVE are aggressive advocates of
Is Populists. All the last named are,
of course free silverties, and all the
Democrats are so counted except Nc
Aleer, of Pennsylvania, and Elliott, OF
South Carolina. This will give ma
jority of Al for sound money, and ma
jority equally as effective for pro-
tective tariff.
In summing up the complexion Of
he Fifty-ffth Congress, three facts
may now be stated with absolute GER
tainty:
First-No free silver bill can bt
PASSED.
Second-The prospects for remedica
legislation in financial affairs are good
Third-A Republican tariff measure
will certainly be enacted.-Commercia
Tribune.

AROUND ST. MARYS.

The oil excitement has abated and
there is nothing new in the develop
ment of the Broad Run field.
All wells in the shallow Cow Run
sand are east of the gas belt and the
strip is narrow. The Gale we'll will
test the oil producing sands west of the
gas belt The old well on the Standi-
ford farm on the Island, and the wells
on the Robert Reynolds farm are west
of said belt, and these will soon be in
condition to determine the value of the
territory.
One Croft we'll on French Creek came
in dry. The one on the Dye farm is a
good we'll.
The Belmont Oil Company, composed
of Wheeling men, drilled in good
we'll on the Dye farm this week. 1t is
good for 90 barrels,
c. c. Sendon & Co.'s No. l on French
Creek, is sure of producing at least &c
barrels day, as it has been filled to
within twenty feet of the top.
The Snakard & Co.'s we'll near New.
port is holding up to 10 barrels a day
rate without any Indications of weaken
ing.
Barnsdali & Company moved oyer to
the Knight we'll on Cow Creek to fur
ther test the territory in the immedi-
ate vicinity, This we'll was partly
done year ago, but held for more
land, as the company did not wish to
invest money in developing territory
in which they did not have fair share
of the land leased or to be leased.
Smoke was seen in the direction OF
the Seldom we'll on the Cook farm
about eight o'clock Tuesday morning,
and it was later ascertained that the
floor, cable, ETC., at the No. we'll had
been burned. The cause of the fire
was the oveflow of the we'll, the oil
igniting from the forge. One man was
badly burned.

A. b. Little and others got dry hole
on the Pat Roach farm in the Sand
Hill field Wednesday.
The Mountain State Gas Cos. well on
the Love farm which was completed
the first of the week is doing about so
barrels per day. The we'll is one of the
most important wells recently drilled
in the Ogdin field.
The Grandview Oil Co. got dry hole
on the Hannold farm on Long Run
last Tuesday.
Thomas Biley and associates began
spudding today on new well at Gut
ler and Thomas Kerwin will also begin
work on we'll on his hye-acre tract.
The Cutler field is undoubtedly des-
tined to be winner. The three wells
of the Thompson Oil Company on the
Riley farm are holding up nicely
though small, and considerable new
work is contemplated. The owners
are confident that the pay is found in
the Big Injun, though the belief was
at one time held that the production
was from stray.
Up on Cats Creek, back of Lowell,
there is also trio of small wells in the
Berea that are believed to be the ad.
vance agents of new pool. At any
rate they will cause considerable
drilling in that territory.
At Eight Mile both the deep and
shallow wells are holding up in graf
flying manner and much new work
will be done this winter. The Crown
Oil Company has started new we'll or
the Berg farm and the Krupp Oil
Company is drilling on John Berg
The Boston Oil Company's No. 16 on
Gracey is down 400 feet.

A Siberian March.

A remarkable march Of 4,70O miles
across Siberia. occupying almost year,
has just been completed by two Russian
battalions of line infantry and two
batteries of artillery, which lately
reached their camp on the Amur. The
troops marched 1000 versts by land
and made their way for 5000 versts by
water. half the distance on RATS con-
structed by themselves. Their losses
were men dead, 81 left behind in hos
pitfalls and 20 horses. The others ar
rived in good condition and excellent

CLIMBING ELEPHANTS.
Able to Go Up and Down Mountain
When Mules Cannot.

Able to GO Up and Down Mountains
When Mules Cannot.
Elephants are able TO make their way
up and down mountains and through
a country of steep cliffs, where mules
would not dare to venture, and even
W where men find passage difficult. Their
tracks have been found upon the very
summmits of mountains over 1000 feet
high. In these journeys an elephant is
often compelled to descend hills and
mountain sides which are almost preci-
pitous. This is the way 1t is done:
The elephants first maneuver is to
kneel down close to the declivity. One
foreleg is then cautiously passed over
the edge and short way down the
slope, and if he finds there is no good
spot for a firm foothold, he speedily
forms one by stamping into the soil, if
it is moist, or kicking out foothold if
it is dry. When he is sure of good foot
hold the other foreleg is brought down
in the same way. Then he performs the
same work over again with his feet,
bringing both forelegs little in ad-
vance for the first foothold. This leaves
good places already made for the hind
feet. Now, bracing himself up by his
huge, strong forelegs, he draws his hind
legs. first one and then the other, care
fully over the edge, where they occupy
the first places made by the forefeet
This is the way the huge animal pro-
ceeds all the way down, zigzag, kneel-
ing with his forefeet. Thus, the center
of gravity is preserved, and the huge
beast is prevented from toppling over
on his nose.

The colder the atmospheric air the
patient breathes the better; the more
oxygen it contains, bulk for bulk, the
more it acts as an antiseptic; the more
it expands when it has been inspired,
and, in expanding, dilates the air cells,
the more it tends to cool the overheated
lung tissues, rendering them less favor

WE noticed in Sundays Commercial
Tribune telegram from Columbus in
which is set forth the statement that
President-elect Mckinley had settled
upon one of the members of his official
family, that one his Private Secretary,
and that he would be in the person of
C. G. Dawes, son of Gen. R. R. Dawes,
this city.
The announcement is unofficial but
the bearer of the news says the ap-
pointment is definitely fixed.
Mr.. Dawes is well qualified to fill the
place with honor to all parties con-
cerned, and we hope the news of his
selection for the place may be true.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Cincinnati Times-Star speaking OF
Cabinet possibilities and of the prob
able lucky recipients of other luscious
plums to fall from McKinley's hands
has the following to say of a young
man born aid raised in Marietta:
"There are two other Illinois Repub-
licans, young men, too, who are going
to play prominent part in the next
administra tion, and one is Charles G..
Dawes, of Evanston, member of the
Repu blican Executive Committee, and
the other is his friend W. j. T. CAL
houn, of Danville, Joe Cannon's town.
These men more than any other swung
Illinois into the Mckinley column be-
fore the St. Louis convention, and did
much to keep it there during the cam
paign. Charles G. Dawes would make
an ideal U. S. Treasurer. although some
are pushing him for First Assistant
Postmaster General. ] believe he may
take the former place"
