Ii Doesn't Rain There

Two years ago, Mr.. A. C. Lawrence,
an actor with the Booming Town Com
pany playing at the High Street Thea
tire, visited Columbus and this institu-
tion. While here he left an umbrella,
a good one, in the rack by the guard
room door, which somebody passes
every minute in the day Last Sunday
he came again and received it from the
rack. 1t had not been disturbed, but
carefully busted every morning.
Honest folks! An umbrella, too,
above all things What other public
institution in the world can boast of
such superfuity of honesty? Not
even the Copitol, where laws against
larceny are made, could have restored
that oft-stolen article, an umbrella,
after lapse of two long eventful
years.-Ohio Penitentiary News.

ABSURD THEORIES,

The Ancients' Explanation of the Rising
and Setting of the Sun.
The recent death of a. man who had
maintained all his life that the earth
was fat recalls the curious theories
entertained by the ancients to explain
the rising and setting of the sun, says
the New York journal. They thought
the earth was fiat and were greatly puz-
zled to know how the same sun which
plunged into the ocean at fabulous
distance in the west could reappear the
next morning at an equally, great dis
tance in the east.
A number of remarkable theories
were advanced and every one Of them
wrong. The old mythology asserted
that after the sun had dipped in the
western ocean at sunset (the Iberians
and other ancient nations actually i'm
agined that they could hear the Kissing
of the waters when the glowing globe
was plunged therein) he was seized by
Vulcan and placed in a golden goblet. &.
This strange craft, with its astonish-
ing cargo navigated the ocean by a
northerly course, so as to reach the east
again in time for sunrise the following
morning.
Among the more sober physicists of
old, as related by Aristotle, it was be-
lieved that in some manner the sun was
conveyed by night across the northern
regions and that darkness was due to
lofty mountains, which screened off
the sunbeams during the voyage.

Why it Is Named Marietta.

Marietta, the oldest town in Ohio for
which our new gunboat No IA, is to be
named, was one of the earliest ship
building places in this country. 1t is
related that vessel built there in 1906,
after taking cargo of pork and flour
to New Orleans sailed thence to Eng
land with load of cotton, and was
there chartered to take cargo to st.
Petersburg. When she reached that
port her papers were examined by a
naval officer, and being from the port
of Marietta, Ohio, she was seized, upon
the plea that they were forgery, as
no such port was known in the civ
ilized world. With considerable diff
Guilty the captain procured a map of
the United States, and pointing with
his finger to the mouth of the Missis-
sippi, traced the course of that stream
to the mouth of the Ohio and led the
astonished naval officer along the devil
GUS track of the latter river to the port
of Marietta, at the mouth of the Mus
kingum, whence he had taken his de-
parture. This explanation was en-
tirely satisfactory, and the American
was dismissed with every token of re-
gard and respect. The first vessel built
there was named St Clair and was
commanded by Commodore Abraham
Whipple. Journal.

II have before me-" says Walter Be-
SAINT in recent issue of the London
Queen. ''the thirty-seventh annual re-
port of the Society for Promoting the
Employment of Women. am sorry to
learn from this report that the demand
for women clerks and bookkeepers is
on the increase.
"At. the same time l am informed in
other quarters that thousands of men
clerks are tramping the streets of Lon
don, wearing out shoe leather in going
up and downstairs in the weary work
of trying to find places.
''They find, instead, women doing the
work which should keep them and their
wives, for half the pay. One has no
objection to women doing mems work
If they get mems pay. They may even
keep the men in idleness, if they please,
like the laundresses.
"IIow shall we make these promoters
understand the cut-throat policy of
pushing women in everywhere, at half
or quarter the pay and driving the men
abroad? However, there are other and
more satisfactory features about this
report.

minority of about $1,000, are clamoring

Marvellous Results.

From a 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 DIR. Kings New
Discovery; it was quick in its work
and highly satisfactory in results. -

FALL OF A MONOLITH,
Maui Rock, Striking West virginia
Curiosity, Is No More.

MAUI ASoCks SbTiklnS west virginia
Curiosity, Is No More.
Until few days ago there stood
about two miles south of Hamlin, in
Lincoln county, w. Va, on high, rocky
point overhanging a vast expanse Of
rugged country, one of the most strik-
ing curiosities in the land, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer. Maui rock has
been known as long as the country has
been inhabited. The peculiar formation
of the vast monolith gave it the name Of
Maui rock, the column supporting the
capstone resembling the handle of
primitive maui. The height had never
been measured, but must.have been 100
feet. Some Is feet from the top the col
umn widened uniformly, making the
circumference some GO or 10 feet. The
handle, or shaft, was probably so feet,
in circumference. 1t was almost round.
The rock is of sandstone of the usual
hardness.
Near the base there were perceptible
crumbling and Indications of decay,
and this disintegration has been going
on for ages. until finally it weakened
SO that the strain could be borne no
longer and it fell.
Thousands of visitors from Ohio, Ken
lucky, Virginia and West Virginia cities
have been attracted thither, and picnic
and outing parties have been held there
almost daily during the summer months
under the shadow of the giant rock and
the foliage of the great oaks. A limb of
one of these monarchs overhung the
apex of the stone, and those who were
venturesome have frequently ascended
and passed to the top of the rock, which
was fat and afforded ample room for 20
or more persons

German ON TariG Legislation.

New YORK, Nov. Ex-senator Cor.
man in an interview accorded report.
er of the United Associated Presses
Friday on the tariff outlook, said
'1rhe chances are against any kind OF
legislation beyond the appropriation
bills at short session. The trouble
in the present instance is that the re
publicans do not know exactly what
they want. The only thing that the
democrats can do is to quietly wat
and see what the republicans propose.
Senator German said he had had nc
conference with Senator Sherman or
the question of tariff legislation.

In The OIL Fields.

Last evening message was received
to the effect that Treat & Crawford's
we'll on the Mcfarland farm. in the
Benwood field. had. reached the pay
and was flowing we'll. The well is
located little to the northeast of the
Fisher Oil company's producer and ex-
tends the field location or two in that
direction.
Considerable activity prevails in oil
operations in the upper end of Han
cock county, w. Va, at present Sew
eral wells are drilling and others have
been located. Several companies are
engaged in the search for oleaginous
fluid, including new company COM
posed of prominent East Liverpool
business men.
The we'll drilled on the Riggs farm
was drilled into the pay sand yesterday
and proved TO be a duster. 1t is un-
derstood that another location will
soon be made on the same lease.
The Victor Oil and Gas Co. S No. on
the Grove heirs farm, on Indian creek,
has struck heavy pocket of gas and
the we'll is showing up for good pro-
ducer. 1t it is wild cat venture, and
if it proves to be an oil well it will
open up considerable territory. Re
view.
The oil well known as the j. j. Stan
berry well, in the south west part of
Deerfeld township, proves to be very
fine little well, the yield being in the
ighborhood of ten barrels, and that
constant. Persons who have invested
money here seem to be perfectly salts
fled. ed.-McConnelsville Herald.
Speculation is rife in regard to the
j. p. Ridge well on the Shaver farm in
Walker district. While all believe
that it is good well, no one appears
to be able TO tell what it is capabl of
doing. The contractor has issued Or
ders to the workmen to allow no one
inside the drill house, and the orders
have been implicitly obeyed. The
owners of the we'll have 600 acres under
lease all around the venture.
The Crawford e Treat we'll drilled
in at Benwood Saturday made over
500 barrels the first "a hours and is eX-
pected to settle down to about 400.
The Fisher Oil Co. are preparing for a
large number of new locations in that
territory.

Governor

Up there in Boise they have mining
exchange where mining stocks may be
purchased or sold. Recently political
exchange was started aad the stocks
listed are the Omaha Populist Platform
and the Cleveland Democratic Admin
stration. The head quarters are re-
spectively at the Sentinel and Evening
Mail Offices, with branches all over the
state. The proposition is to exchange
these old political lodges for silver
votes. The Sentinel offers the Omaha
platform in bulk for Democratic votes
and the Mail offers to swap off the
Cleyeland administration record for
anything it can get. At present, these
stocks are ranging very low, but they
are being thoroughly doomed and a rise
in the market is confidently predicted.
The suckers are expected to come
mainly from Democratic and Populis-
tic sources as it is intimaUed at the ex-
change that they value their votes very
lightly and are willing to trade them
off for almost any kind of prospect
These old shafts have been worked a
good many years but without much
success. 1t is hoped however, that the
adoption of business methods will mat
erially sharpen the market. If you
have a silver vote that isn't much good
to you, better take section or two Of
Omaha platform or few pages of De-
mOcratic record. Such property might
not be worth much to you now, but
the time may be approaching when 1t
will be highly valuable as-as the great
spectacular attraction in dime mu-
scum. A few years ago nobody expect
