1t is reported that Fred Knouss, an
old German farmer residing near Red
Hill, has became insane over an oil
transaction. A short time ago he was
induced to lease his farm to some oil
men. A few days since Knouss, who
can neither read nor write English,
came to this city. While here some
one told him that he had been victim
lied, advantage being taken of his in
ability to read English, and that in
signing the lease he had in reality put
his name to an instrument deciding his
farm away. Whether this was true or
only an attempt to guy" the old man
is not known, but at any rate he took
it seriously and, report says, went
home and at once took to his bed,
where he has since remained, refusing
to speak or take food, his mind appar.

Marvellous Results.

From letter written by Rev. j.
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich, we
are permitted to make this extract: Il
have no hesitation in recommending
DIR. Kings New Discovery, as the re-
suits were almost marvellous in the case
of my wife. While was pastor of the
Baptist Church at Rives junction she
was brought down with Pneumonia
succeeding La Grippe. Terrible parox,
ysms of coughing would last for hours
with little interruption and it seemed
as if she could not survive them. A
friend recommended DR.. Kings New
Discovery; it was quick in its work
and highly satisfactory in results :

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen.

hausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of tonic and Alternative is felt.
A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act

mckinley Against tho Field.

Special to Daily Leader.
Washington, March 9.-It seems to
be a case of Mckinley against the field.
The strength of the Ohio candidate
could not be more clearly indicated
than by this one act. All other forces
are combined against him and it is con-
ceded that he is the strongest factor in
the Presidential race. Allison's devel-
oping strength in unexpected quarters
is not encouraging to the Reed men
and his growth is dangerous to all ex-
cept Mckinley. Although Cullom has
announced that he will be candidate
from the first ballot until a decision is
reached yet the Illinois man will not
have his delegation solid. Mckinley
will have a good fraction of the sucker
vote from first to last Quay's candi-
dacy is a transparent play for Reed.
AS for Reed himself he has very
great burden on his shoulders in the
shape of an unwieldly Congress and he
also finds himself in the unpleasant
position of being made sponsor for all
the accidents and mistakes that the
lower House may make. Above
all this is the fact that Reed is an
Eastern man. Should he continue his
policy of ignoring new members whose
hope of reelection is in doing some
thing startling the Speakers boom in
Congress will suffer disastrously And
it is admitted that Reeds strength
lies with Congressman and politicians
and not with the people.
On the other hand Mckinley is closer
to the common masses than any other
American. His opponents realizing
this are taking long chances The
Capitol is as full of political combina-
tions as honey tree is of bees. All of
these are centered in one direction. 1t
reminds the old resident of that great
est of political com binations in Ameri-
can History-the one organized under
the watchword Anything to beat
Grant" The defeat of that combina-
ton was another instance of how un-
successful combinations generally are.
Grant was fought with stubbornness
the recollection of which is still fresh
in the minds of all political readers.
Its failure goes to show that even the
intrigues of politics and the fine Italian
hands of politicians are as nought
when compared with the decree
of the people. In 1880 the peo-
Pile decreed that Grant should he Pres
ident. In 1896 the same body polite is
looking toward the Moses of Protec-
tion to lead them out of the wilderness
sighted tariff -tinkering Democratic
policy.

support given by Senator Foraker to
the Mckinley candidacy for the presi

lie to their oft repeated assertions OF
factional disturbances in the Republi

hopes of an anti-McKinley sentiment

The County Court has at last deter

The urgent need of new court house

appliances is conceded by every one.

THE conviction of Ex-senator Abbott
for bribery ENDS his political career
and blasts forever the ambitious hopes
of an aspiring young statesman whose
bark was launched upon the sea of
politics with all the encouragement of
fair winds and smooth waters, and
with a full measure of success and
honor at the end. There is but one
safe path on the great ocean of public
life-the straight and narrow track of
recitude and absolute bonesty-and he
who deviates sooner or later loses the
respect of his fellows, if not, as in the
case of Senator Abbott suffering public
disgrace.
Expressions of sorrow and regret for
the failings of fellow man are always
pertinent, but the iron hand of the law
should make no distinction between
high and low. Condemnation and pun
ishment must come surely to the legis
lator who betrays the trust reposed in
him by his constituents as to the ig
norant voter who sells his right OF
suffrage at the polls.
The moral lesson of Senator Abbott'i
conyicticS mill be wholesome.

From rhe Cradle to tho Grave.

All must enter in the strife:
All must toll and slave
In the mystic march of life
From the Cradle to the Grave.
Little dimpled baby hands
Scarcely feel the first Caress
Till they cross the border lands
For eternal rest.
Some have their allotted time
OF three score years and ten,
Daily worshipped at the shrine
Faithful TO the end,
Many feet have weary grown
OF the thorns upon the way;
Many hearts have JOY unknown,
Nainly trusting day by day.
Every pain is but a knife
Cutting litJle hicks you know,
In the counting stick Of life,
As we onward go.
When we pass the silent valley
Into vast eternity,
He'll reward us by the tally
That was cut for you and me.
Though the way seems dark and dreary '
Still be strong and brave;
Then the feet will grow less weary
From the Cradle to the Grave.

Sistersville, March 10.-A gentleman
who arrived from the back part of the
county at four o'clock this evening, re-
ports Shay e McMullen's No 1, on the
Dan Weekly farm, to be doing 30 bar
rels an hour.
The Devonian Oil Company are still

of the week.
The wells being drilled by Sisters

News from the front is hard to Sc
cure owing to the terrible condition OF
the roads; but few are travelling, and
those few only from absolute necessity.
During the past week, developments
have been confined to the back part OF
this county, with the exception OF
Ramey IG Co. S No. IL on the Davenport
farm, which is now doing between 100
and 125 barrels a day. This is the
largest well in that part of the field
during the past year and it makes Il

drilled on the A. Williamson farm more
