Our Democratic friends are at
their old tricks, starting false
hoods about Republican candi-
dates. Among these is the state.
ment that sheriff Lang is to ap:
point all his deputies from the
Shuttleworth family of this city.
Now. while these gentlemen
would make splendid officials, as
they are men Of fine business
qualitic tons, tits, nevertheless,
a fact that no person ofthe name
of Shuttleworih has ever solicit.
ed such an appointment. Mr..
Lang contemplates no such act
aud we can assure everybody
that such will not be the case
after his election, The Messrs.
Shuttleworth already have as
much as they can attend to in
managing their large business

Arch bishop Ireland addresses a

passage, and commend IT. to the
careful perusal Of every one:
Il stand by the platfo rin and,
the presidential candidate Of the
Republican convention Of st.
Louis. 1 am opposed to the plat.
form and the p-eside ntial candi.
date of the Democratic conyens
ton at Chicago.
The days of the civil war Sex-
Icepted. at no time did SO great
peril threaten the country; as that.
which is involved in the political
campaign of today,
The question of free silver
and unlimited coinage of silver is
put in the foreground. This
has its Importance but
it is Of MINOR Importance, in
presence otherqu stions which
are brought into issue.
1.-The ovement which had its
expression in the Chicago con.
vention and which now seeks by.
means of popular suffrage to
Ienthrone itself inithe capital Of
the nation, isiin its logical effect
against the United States 1t is
secession; the secession Of 1851,
which our diers believed they
had consigned 70 eternal death
at Appomattox but which de.
mands again reco ton from the
American people. The declara,|
ton in the Chicag plat form has
and can have no other meaning.
Why denounce arbitrary inter-
ferenceby federal authorities in
local affairs as aviolation Of the
constitution of the United States
and a crime against free institn.
tons. The words point to the
act Of Grover Cleveland. sending
United States troops TO protect
national property and enforce
national laws during the Chicago
riots in 1894.
One Of the chief speakers at

OIL News.
More good news from the oil
region Of Wood county

More good news from the oil
region Of Wood county !:
At CORVALLIS, Carr Bros. who
have operated extensively of late
in Pennsylvania oil fields, have a
fine showing in their new venture.
The well is a deep sand well. and
a very heavy pressure Of gas is
now being encountered. The
Carr Bros. are remembered as
the operators who drilled the
costly deep wells several years
ago at Davisville, Wood county,
and not a sign OF oil was found,
the amount expended on the
wells exceeding fifty Thousand
dollars.
Pittsburgh operators have
taken the Marsh farm well at
Shacktown in hands. and will
clean the we'll aadshoot it. The
well is the one which created
such a sensation after being
abandoned, by flowing continu.
ously for several days over the
top of the casing. The company
who owned the lease at that
time, however, refused to inves-
tigate and locked up the derrick,
and the well has remained so
ever since. That there is oil in
the we'll cannot be denied, and
the new movement towards de-
veloping the territory is looked
upon favorably by local opera
tors.-Register.
A remarkable event occurred
at Carnegie Music Hall. New
York, Sunday morning. The i'm.
mense sum Of $4,000 was raised
at once for the cause Of missions.
The scene during the collection
was a striking one. Watches and
jewelry were piled on the Music
Hall platform by men and women,
who drew the rings from their
fingers, took the watches from
their pockets, unclasped the pins
inthelr clothing, and pushed their
way to the front in order to con.
ltribnteito the fund.

their journey to Farm ont, where
they will reside the future.
The groom is a successful
business man Of Fairmont, and
is regarded as aprogressive and
enterprising citizen.
The bride is a handsome and
accomplished young lady. The
regret of her many friends at

the cordiality Of their good wishes
for her future welfare and hap
piness.

Cecil ii. Towles was quietly mar
ried to Miss Dora E. Pike. at 8

REPoRT or THE CONDITION
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1896-11-26

Toward the polling-places come
groups of strong, active, but rather
seedy men, talking the polyglot slang
of the school Of the curbstone. One,
better dressed, cleaner shaved, strides
briskly around the corner, and is in
stantly attended to. He shakes hands
with everybody, calling each by his
Christian name-or a part of it, for
time is precious this morning. Now
and then he throws his arm about
the neck Of henchman, and whispers
a sentence or two in his ear, where
upon the recipient of the favor hurries
away. This nabob is the leader of the
district on one side, or perhaps an al
derman, or maybe even a candidate,
and these others are his workers"
who share his chances, hopeful ofrecog-
milton if he succeeds, failing which
they will desert to the opposition and
possibly "squeal," or betray damaging

Digging for JeweIry.

Digging for jewelry seems rather an
odd occupation, but in Central Ameri-
ca 1t has been carried on for long
time with success and profit. Along
the coast Of Costa RIGA are vast ceme-
teries in which the original inhablt-
ants Of long ago were buried. With
them were inferred great quantities of
gold ornaments, that metal being
found abundantly in that region. Many
Of the graves have been opened, and
from them gold has been taken to the
value of at least 100000. The first dis
coverles of this treasure trove caused a
rush for the field of exploration which
promised to rival that Of 1S49 to Cali
fornia. Thousands of the graves still
remain, unopened, and 1t is common
practice for visitors in search of curio-
stiles to rob them.

The twO-acre map Of the heavens in
Paris is about completed. It will be
the most remarkable and instructive
astronomical scheme ever devised and
carried out, and now in the light of the
tremendous success which 1t is certain
to be, American astronomers doubtless
regret that the United States was the
only country to refuse to participate
In its construction. The observatories
which share the honors Of this great
achievement are those at Rome Paris,
Greenwich, Potsdam, Bordeaux, Tou-
louise, Catalina, Oxford, Helslngford,
Algeria, San Fernando, Tacubaya, San
tiago (Chile), La Plata Rio de Janeiro.
Cape of Good Hope, Sydney and Mel
bourne. Each of these observatories
will bear the cost of its own portion
and will deliver it at its own expense
at the grounds Of the Paris observa-
tory.
