The Forget-me-not Club composed
of small girls and boys gave an exhi-
bition and concert last Tuesday even
ing at Bethlehem Baptist church. The
work of the little ones was praise
worthy in the extreme, and Mrs. F
z Harrod deserves much credit for
their careful training. The affair was
a success financially as otherwise.
The twenty-hrst anniversary of Beth
lehem will be celebrated by a week S
meeting beginning next Sunday.
Each member is expected to bring
three cents for every year of the age
of the church. The following is the
official program: Sunday, October II,

plauded. His with the vocal numbers
by Messrs Young, Misses Ella Green,

was quite as enjoyable as the work OF
the Forget-me-nots.
Women'S day at Rev. !. B Washing
tons church last Sabbath was cele-
brated in high style. Although called
Ladies Day, every paper prepared
was by gentleman. Mr.. A Brown
and Mr.. George Graham read careful
ly prepared articles. Mr.. s. G.. Brown
made few remarks and read a poem
the first stanza Of which reads
Look abroad DER Gods creation,
What will be its consummatIon
Study the plans Of His salvation,
Freely offeIed to mankind.
The collection was a generous one
and in neat speech the lady presid-
ing turned it over to the pastor Rev.
Washington.
Miss Ella Green has been transfer
ed from the Hamilton Road school to
HIllsdale. The people are rejoicing
while Good Hope mourns the loss of a
Hhc iduy duu cxCcliSHl tcdCHcI.
II is noticeable fact in Hillsdale
lately that young persons Of ability
are invited to read or sing or play at
a gathering and after accepting the
invitations and having their names
printed on programs fail to appear
thus disappointing their friends and
the managers OF the
affairs.
This has been brought into promi.
nence on three recent occasions at
on Woman's day where the
ady most expected was absent at
Station, where two ladies
we're not found, both having accepted,

The Register is constantly in receipt
of queries from people who want to
know how to bet on the election. They
are confused between the conflicting
claims of party managers. They want
inside opinions"
We viii frankly state to those folks
that We have none of that kind. All
of ours are on the outside. Editors
publish in their papers all they know
and think. Sometimes, as in the case
of several esteemed contemporaries we
might name, they publish even more
than they know or think. As a rule,
however. the careful newspaper reader
has about as much inside information
as the editor is possessed of.
Our advice TO both sides is: Don't
bet. Buy candy. or campaign buttons.
However. if you wish for a line on
the present campaign. keep your eye
on such States as Illinois, Indiana.
Ohio. Michigan and Minnesota. It is
true that Bryan can be elected without
any one of them. and it is also true
that Mckinley will have to carry. at
least. AL of them and New York.
New Jersey. Maryland and Kentucky
i'm order TO succeed, which. for those
folks who want inside" information
is a pretty dismal outlook for Mr. Nc
kiuley.

Marietta. Ohio, October 29.-sheriff
w. H. Dye received to-day a letter from
Sheriff George Mckenzie, of Napa
county. California, who recently cap
tured a man named William Moore,
charged with a murder committed in
California five years ago. The latter
states that Moore has confessed to sew
eral murders, among them two com
mitted in Washington county, Ohio, in
1872. He claims the victims were a
man named Slider, killed near Marietta
and James Emmett. murdered near the
mouth of the Muskingum river. Moore
was reared in Noble county. Photo
graphs of him are not recognized by
anv one here. Neither are the muir
ders alluded to remembered.

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN LIE.
How They are whistling to Keep Up Their
Courage in jefferson County.
To the Editor of the Register.


Charles Town, w. Va, October Is
| was told last night that it was being
circulated over the State and country
that the usual Democratic majority Of
this. jefferson county, would be cut
down from 1900 to about 500, and that
the deserters would poll 600 TO 200 Pal
mer and Buckaer votes. Now quite a
careful survey of the field reveals that
Palmer and Buckner may gel 125 votes
in this county, of which say One-third
will be voted at Charles Town, the
stronghold Of the deserters. One hun
dred and seventy-five viii cover the dis
affected Democrats who viii bolt, and
either vote the Palmer or the Mckinley
ticket or STAY at home On the other
hand a large number of intelligent
white Republicans VIII vote with US,
and many colored Republicans. l
think il safe to say the gain from the
Republican camp will fully make up the
loss of Democrats, and old Jefferson Will
cast the largest Democratic majority in
its history.
We believe West Virginia is safe for
BRYAN. and Junior Brown will be elect
ed 10 Congress from this district by a
handsome majority.
Yours truly.

IL is not exactly clear to us what
our esteemed contemporary is driving
at in the last sentence quoted above.
However. il is a small matter. 1t is to
be regretted that these things occur.
Every public speaker should be ac-
corded civil treatment
In the present campaign Mr.. Bryan
has been many times insulted by the
hoodlums of the opposition And in
these instances his splendid, manly
nature stands forth in bold relief. Up
i'm New Haven when the wealthy
toughs Of Yale college prevented him
from speaking by their bowls Mr. Bry-
an simply bowed and sat down. When
asked afterwards his opinion of the
outrage. he excused the college hood
lums. saying that ne supposed they
were merely boys out ION 4 lark.
There was another case of rotten
egging out in Chicago during the recent
Bryan demonstration in that city. At
many points hired hoodlums rotten
egged the Bryan marchers in the pa
rade. Many of them were arrested
And here again Mr. Bryan showed his
caImness. forbearance and innate kind
ness of heart. 1t was at his instance
that the prisoners guilty o. the out
rage were released.
Mr. Bryan has been several tines in
suited during his most 'emarka3!e
campaign and in each instance the
true greatness Of the man nsH been
shown. In every instance he has been
above resenting the out age and in
every case has endeavoret to pardon

TINY Observation-Disclosures.

The Chicago correspondent of the
Republican and goldbug Pittsburg Dis
patch practically admits that Illinois
will go overwhelmingly for Bryan
which. Of course, would mean Bryan's
election beyond all doubt.
The Republican committee of Illinois
after a poll admitted that the State out
side of Chicago is about even" Now
when the Republican politicians there
admit this much YOU can depend upon
it that the State outside of Chicago is
very decidedly for silver. The Pitts
burg Dispatches correspondent in his
special. which we publish elsewhere,
states that there can be no doubt that
the workingmen Of Chicago are prac-
ticaHy solid for Bryan. If there is
anything at all in this admission there
can be no doubt whatever of Bryan's
election, because almost the entire
vote of Chicago is that of the working
men. Chicago is a strongly Democrat
ic city to begin with. Republicans con-
cede that the State is an even thing.
Now this Republican correspondent ad-
mits that the city of Chicago is for
Bryan.
This is an out and out, flat-footed
concession that Bryan will be elected,
for giving Mckinley every other doubt
full State Illinois alone will elect
Bryan.

What true American viii say we can [?
is war with England part of the Bryan

Not war with powder and shot; but
a battle between English gold and
American silver.
Our neighbor is too young to remem-
Der it. but it is the fact, that when we
did whip England in 1776, England
vowed she would yet whip us with
MONEY.
That is the war that is on now.

rnAr.prnL1c nEGGAR. LIE.

It has cropped out over in Ohio. The
/ Cleveland Leader is the latest to rehash
the afidavit and statement of James
Campbell which was originally made in
1894. This man Campbell went before
the ways and means committee in 1893,
when William L. Wilson was its chair
man, and made such an Incorporate
and threatening address before that
committee that the chairman, Mr.. Will
son. dismissed him from the room, al
ter having courteously called him TO
order twice before so doing.
Then this man Campbell turned up
with an affidavit in 1894 which was cir
culated in Mr. Wilson's district, among
other places, which charged Mr.. Will
son and his Democratic associates col
lectiveIy. never mentioning Mr.. Bry-
ans name, with calling him (CampbelD
"a public beggar," etc.
Mr.. Wilson took the matter up, de-
nounced Mr.. Campbel's affidavit as a
perjury, and gave the entire story 10
the public.
Now the whole wretched lie is re-
hashed. a fresh affidavit" is made, and
Mr.. Bryan is made to do the talking all
by himself
The workingmen are not to be fooled
by such a stale trick.

Six of the largest manufacturers OF
shoe leather in America have signed a
contract Tor the organization of gi-
gantic leather trust. The six firms are
Robert Fl. Foederer. Burk Bros. J. P.

of Philadelphia and known to leather
manufacturers and dealers throughout
the world as the big Four; F. Blu
menthal & Co.. of New York, and Will
lam Zahn. of Newark, \. j., the last
named being part owner of the patent
under which most morocco and glazed
T kid leather is now manufactured The
six firms represent an invested capital
of 100000 and it is expected that
other manufacturers of leather will be
persuaded" into signing the contract,
when a new giant trust will be formed.
The articles of agreement conclude
with this curious clause:
This agreement to be null and void
, in case of the election Of William Jen-
uings Bryan to the presidency in the
forthcoming election to be held Nov.
8. 1896"
That. as the Cleveland Plain Dealer
puts it. is an extraordinary condition
in a business contract. 1t is probably
without precedent What does it
mean?
Mr. Bryan has declared himself an
uncompromising foe to trusts. He has
pledged himself to a rigid enforcement
of the antitrust law if he should be-
come president.
Mr. Mckinley, in his speech Of ac-
ceptance. in his letter of acceptance,
and in his numerous speeches to visit
ing delegations. has preserved a studied
silence regarding trusts Not even
the daily questioning of one of his
leading newspaper supporters has
elected from him one word on the sub
ject.
If Mr.. Mckinley should be elected the
leather trust will be perfected and the
people will have to pay for their shoes
whatever the trust chooses to exact.
II Mr. Bryan is elected the trust at
once dissolves. because it's members
know the law against trusts will no
longer remain a dead letter.
Which election Will be in the inter
est of the people? Can there be any
doubt?
