Home Owners mako Good Cltlrsns.


The greatest fsctor Of modern times
for securing good citizens has been sup
piled by the building associations which
have become 80 universally popular
throughout this country These societies
have taken root more fully among the
thrifty Pennsylvanisns than In any other
part OF the country, and It is well to
note that there. where they are the
best known. they are the most highly es
esteemed. Ia q recent address Mr.
James Clsrency Of Philadelpnia said /:
Local building associations. as operated
and managed In Pen nsylvanis, particu-
larly In Philadelphia, have bsen a most
potent factor In promoting the social aud
moral welfare of our city, and their sue
cess in this one particular offers a wide
field for the student OF moral and eco
nomic conditions OF society, especially
in our large cities. Home ownership
brings with it tho Sc peculiarly cultivat-
ing II huences that come to us with the
possession Of something OF great value,
something real and tangible. It is an in
spirsd feeling It cannot be taught or
explained. One must be in possession Of a
home in order to appreciate It, The great
charm of home ownership lies In the
fact that. educated or not. one becomes q
fixed part Of the community Ia which he
resides and at once tskss an Increased
interest Ia It's stfairs-puhlic OF otherwise
He is regarded as one OF the solid citizens
and respected accordingly. and your FRY

The Mayors Folly.

The least that can be said OF Mayor
Jefferis is that he has permitted bimself
and his office to be dragged to a very low
level by place-seekers and their friends.
He has disappointed his party friends
who believed that they were electing to
office a man who would not be swayed by
small politics.
As mayor Of the city, 1t was incumbent
on him to appoint certain members Of
the Board Of Health but 1t WAS not re-
quired of him TO make those appoint
ments conditional upon the election Of
his son or anyone else. That responsibility
should have been left to the newly
organized board.
His treatment OF Mr. Ward was both
unfair and unmanly, and nine out Of
every ten Democrats la Wilmington will
endorse this sentiment.
Mr.. Wards's spirit Of Independence
was responsible for the mayors action
Certain men who could control the
mayor could not control him and they
made good use Of the mayor to accomplish
his removal aud the substitution Of
man who would be more ready to listen
TO their demands.
It Ia all folderol for the mayor to
endsavor to hide himself behind the
statement that he had never formally
announced the appointment OF Mr. Ward
Such an excuse will not shield him from
the public censure which he deserves. A
mayor who INDUCES In such political
practices, including that OF nepotism
cannot retain the respect OF the public.

The Mckinley idea.

1t has been held against Mr.. Nc.
Kinley that be is a man with but one
idea-the idea of Protection. What
if he is2 What is the Mckinley
" idea" 1t is an American idea"
throughout. Mr.. Mckinley has not
one public thought or sentiment ever
in his mind that is not imbued with
Americanism. And we have had too
little Amerieanism Of late, far too
little. The one issue before the peo.
pie to-day is the issue of Protection
to all American interests. Our
mines, our forests, our fisheries, our
manufactures and our agriculture, all
need strong touch of the American
idea" The people are demanding
a restoration of the American "idea"

them as Mr.. Mckinley? With the

ty to be re.established, with the pro.
blem of Orienta competition con.
fronting Us, to what other leader can
the people naturally turn rather than
to Mckinley? 1t is his idea they
want.
There is no man iu the United
States to-day who is more bitterly
hated in England than Mckinley.
That fact alone is proof that he is the
best man for President of the United
States. Why are the Democratic
papers so opposed to his receiving the
Republican nomination Simply be.
cause they know that he is thorough
American, aud the history of the
present Democratic administration in
its every line shows un-Americanism.
The people have had too much of this,
therefore they have risen with one
voice to demand a restoration of the
American idea, and, with it, they
demand the man who represents that
"idea" - William Mckinley - for
President of the United States. -

Lost His Leg and Died from the Ef-
fects Of His Injuries.

Conductor John Carroll of the w. n.
Y. & p, had his leg so severely crushed
beneath the wheels of an engine at
Thompson's last Friday that the limb had
to be amputated few inches above the
knee. Mr.. Carroll has been engaged in
the railroad business for the past 20 years
and this was his first accident. For ten
years he has been employed by the W.
n. Y. & p. as freight and extra passenger
conductor, and had charge of the way
freight when the accident occurred. He
pulled into the siding about noon to allow
another train to pass and had ordered the
crew to cut one of the cars from the rear
of the engine. He stepped on the pilot
of the moving engine and leaned over to
see if the work was being done correctly
when he slipped and his right leg was
caught beneath the wheels of the forward
truck. One wheel passed over the leg
near the ankle and the other crossed near
the knee, mangling the leg almost to
jelly from the knee down. He was taken
to Tidioute where DR.. MaGill amputed
the the leg about ten inches below the
groin, ana the injured man was sent to
Oil City by special train. He arrived
here at o'clock and taken to the hospi-
tai where he was turned over to the care
of Drs. Ritchey and Coulter. They
found Mr. Carroll's system had been SER
iously affected by the shock, and this,
with his advanced age, about 40 years,
makes his condition serious. Conductor
Carroll is one of the most popular as
well as one of the oldest employees of the
road, and has wife and family at Siver-
ly.-Dey7Ick.
LATER-The unfortunate man died
from the effects of his injuries at the Oil
City hospital on Saturday last, at 800 p.
m. 1t is thought me sustained some in
ternal injuries. He leaves wife and
seven chlldred.
