In very few days now, the Iowa,
the largest hattleship that floats, will
glide from the ways at the Cramps
SshiPyard, and after her guns and ap-
%rurtenances are placed On her, the
United States can lay claim to the dis
tinction of having not only the larg-
est, but the best equipped battleship
in the world. The Iowa has a thous-
and tons greater displacement than
her sister ships, the Indiana, Massa-
chusetts and Oregon, which are rec
ognizeti as among the greatest naval
vessels afloat. She is $50 feet long, -
feet wide and - feet in the water and
weighs l1,4lO tons, and built and
equipped at a cost of over four million
dollars.

MCkinley's Popular Strength.

AS the day Of the ST. Louis conven-
ton approaches the strength of Maj
Mckinley among the people is the
moro apparent and the more pro-
nounced. The favorite son game
which was brought out to diminish
the first vote for Mckinley in the ma
tional convention is rather working in
his favor because his friends among
the people, and they are numberless,
declare that he shall not be cheated or
bambOozled out of the presidential
nomination by any political trick or
device. Gen Henderson of Nebraska,
has withdrawn and that will insure
the state to Mckinley, and now the
word comes from Minnesota that Sen
ator Davis will probably withdraw as
his partisans have secured only three
of the eighteen delegates. The most
that DAVIS friends expect is that he
may receive complimentary vote
: from the Minnesota delegation and
then it's vote will be cast solid for Nc
Kinley. It will prove So in Indiana
and we think so in Illinois. McKin-
= ley is solid to IL man in Wisconsin,
and the two Dakota's will drop into
his hopper. He has more friends in
Missouri than any other Republican
candidate, and in Pennsylvania, if
Senator Quay persists in his candida
cy, Mckinley will press him hard.
The question na tuarlly arises, why
is Mckinley so strong among the peo-
pie: Firstly because he is an attrac-
tive and magnetic man whom every
body likes as soon as he touches his
hand. He has the Henry Clay grasp
and the magnetic fire in the shake of
he hand which distinguished the
great Kentucky statesman. Certainly
he is the peculiar representative of
the two great principles which distin-
guish the Republican party, more
markedly than any other man. His
doctrines of protection and reciprocity
have sunk SO deeply into the hearts of
all the Republican voters from Maine
" to texas that they can never be oblit-
Grated He is sound on the currency,
opposing every form of false dollar
that may be suggested. He is moral,
temperate, and law bidding in all his
instincts, and SO thoroughly American
from the sole of his foot to the crown
of his head that every one believes
will administer the national govern
ment for the best interests of the
whole country.-Evening Wisconsin.

AN HEIREss
Married the Man of Her Choice
While Another Was Coming
to Claim Her

A special from Shelbyville on the
4th inst says: Up. s. Chinn and Miss
Amelia Petry, prominent young peo-
pie, the bride being daughter Of the
late Captain George Petry, we're mar
ried here to-day, unknown to the
brides family. The Young lady's
mother was bitterly opposed to Mr..
Chinn, and forbade her daughter re-
ceiving his attentions, and since then
the Young people held no communica-
ton whatever with each other. Miss
Petry received the attentions of 9TH
ers, and was engaged TO Mr.. l.. E.
Rowe, manager of the Southwestern
Lumber Company, of Texarkana,
Ark, and who is now en- route to this
place, the wedding having been set for
next Wednesday. An elaborate trous-
seau had been ordered and everything
arranged for swell wedding. Mr. /.
Chinn arrived here several days ago
and told some of his intimate friends
that the wedding would never come
off. He secretly obtained license,
and the ceremony was performed by
Elder Mcclellan, of the Christian
church, at the home of the groom's
grandfather.
"The young lady recently became
of age, and is worth over $4,000 in
her own right. She sent telegram
to Mr.. Rowe, apprising him of her
marriage"
Miss Petry is relative of Mr.. G..
FL. Petry, president and manager of
the Monarch Milling Company, this
city, and also has relatives in Sharps-
burg.

On joint ballosit will be remembered
the count is 6S Democrats, 6S Repub-
lieans and 2 Populists. One of the

so that the outcome would seem to be
exceedingly doubtful. The Republic

ably Try to secure cinch by unseating

the Democrats have more than one

The Society of the First Presby-

night. Each person represented
some book. A prize was given to
the one guessing the greatest num-
Der of books represented. Misses
Josie Lauth and Anna Bruce Chiles
guessed an equal number and
prizes were given to beth. The
house had been tastefully decorat-
ed by the Social Committee, and
everything possible was done to
make the evening pleasant one.
1t was a Leap Year social, and the
young gentlemen seemed glad of
an opportunity to taste the ability
of the 'new woman" as an escort.
The yonng ladies proved equal to
the occasion, even protecting their
frail (?) companions from danger
when two careless drivers collided
with each other.
The Endeavor societies held an
interesting and profitable religious
service at the Jail New Years Day.
The prisoners listened very atten-
lively and seemed very much inn
pressed by the service. One re-

that it takes the place of about 80 men
