Tuesday afternoon about six o'clock
the rain fell here in torrents for few
minutes. The volume of water was
so great in the Little Yough that the
dam recently erectly at the Oakland
mills was washed almost entirely
away. This will not interfere with the
operation of the mill, however, as
steam power is also used.
Considerable speculation has been
INDUCED in by the citizens of Oakland
because of the fact that it is currently
reported that an oil well rigging has
been received here and is to be erected
on farm not very far distant from
town and that the work of drilling
for oil will be commenced shortly

charge OF the work wifi not fafk

Resolutions OF Resnect.

The following resolutions Of respect
were adopted by Garrett Lodge No.
113, knights of Pythias at a regular
meeting held on Sept. 23, 1896.
Whereas, The grandest trait of the
human character is that the living
mourn the loss of the dead, and pause
in their various avocatiOns to pay fit
ting tribute and manifest their appre-
citation for true worth and manly
qualities; therefore. be it
ReSOJ0ed, BY the members of Gar
rett Lodge that we keenly feel the
loss, and mourn the demise Of our es-
teemed brother, William H. Biggs,
which has brought such piquant GRIEF
to many hearts, and left vacant in our
midst place he so worthily filed.
ResoIUed, That we extent to his
family our earnest coincidence in their
irreparable loss and invoke upon them
the benedictiOn Of Him who dOeth all
things well; and be it further
ReS01Ced, That the charter OF Gar
rett Lodge, No, 113, Knights of
Pythias, be draped for the period Of
thirty days; that a copy of these resO-
lutions be furnished the family of the
deceased brother and that the same
be published in THE REPUBLICAN and

Because some ministers of the EpiS-
cOpal church have denounced the
free coinage of silver as a violation of
the Sth commandment, The Voice of
New York, is pleased to say, in a re-
cent editorial, that the currency
question is merely q di6erence of
opinion and there are many good
christians who in all conscience be-
lieve in the free coinage of silver"
l ask The Voice this plain question.
Gold is at par in all the markets of
the world: Now if a banker loaned
the editor of The Voice one thousand
dollars in gold would the editor have
the moral right to repay said loan
with one thousand dollars of free
coinage silver which would only be at
par (by Legislative enactment, in pay
ment of debts in our own country?
Will The Voice explain the differ
ence between legalized stealing and
legalized rum selling? The first COM
pels the creditor to accept less valu-
able money than he loaned; the last
compels no man to drink against his
will. 1t seems to me that the editor
of The Voice is an adept at sitting the
truth, but since he does it for con-
science sake he is justified. So were
the judges of Joan of Arc-BUT:
Rare Maid of Orleans
Sad thy befalling,
Though thy heart heard
HIS ministers calling.
Church would not heed thee,
Thou went too lowly,
Yet it was said
The church was most holy
Strong in opinion,
No need to reason,
Conscience is guide,
When dealing with treason@
Rare Maid of Orleans
Truth is victorious,
Time now grants the
name most glorious.

Thus often you see
Conscience is tripping
Truth walks erect
Untrammeled by hipping.

RECEIVERS THE GROUND
LOST.
CORN AND OATS WE'RE FIRM,
Closing at an Advance, While Pro-
visions Show No Particular
Z Change.

CHICAGO, Feb. 19.-Large sales of cash
wheat today were responsible for closing
May wheat &c higher: No one expected IT
the closing strength after drop OF nearly
cent from the opening was just as much
surprise. Corn and oats closed firm and
higher. Provisions made practically no
change. Wheat had a very fair speculative
trade, though the range was moderate at
1Ac. The early trend was upward, and dur
ing the first hour May sold 12c better than
it closed yesterday, the strength being caused
by the zero weather over many sections Of
the winter wheat belt, which led to some ap-
prehension of crop damage, there
some large areas which unprotected by
snow, but the demand was promptly met,
and buyers began to reduce their bids. Liv
erpool came I'D lower; domestic markets
turned heavy and many of the early buyers
lost confidence and began to sell out and the
price declined. The weakness brought out
more offerings, there was continued lquida-
ton and short selling which finally sent the
price off 11sc from top figures. New YORK
was also said to have generous selling Or
ders here and many large local operators
also sold heavily. But later it reported
that cash wheat to the extent of 100000 blu
had been taken and twenty boat loads at
New York and there was good recovery,
May short coverings. The continued mod
crate deliveries in the Northwest also had
strengthening influence, and before noon
there had been a recovery of 1ac. May
opered about &c higher at 65Ac and sold to
651sc, then broke gradually to 64asc and re-
acted to 64%c. The market turned quite
strong again in the last hour. The sales OF
cash wheat here were reported to amount to
2S0 900 bu; $4,000 blu being red winter to be
loaded for spring shipment to Toledo: Ihat
gave the market lively boost to 655sc and
1t closed strong at 651a@659sc.
Corn had fair business, prices responding
to wheat fluctuations, though within mar
row range. May opened 1sc higher at 3Oc
and closed at that. Oats were quite active
early, but prices were entirely dependent on
wheat May opened unchanged at 2OBg2lc;
prices keeping within nc range and closed
at BIC.
Provisions were heavy the first hour, with
later prices rallied with the grain markets
and at the close had received about all the
early loss Pork closed 29c lower; lard and
ribs being unchanged

oats, 1853 cars; hogs, 10000 head.
