4 Free Silver Omen.
Two Clocks at Pension Onlce Stop at
f6 Minutes TO 1.

Columbus Press
The clerks in the pension Office
have Just discovered that two Of
the department clocks are quietly
advocating the cause Of free silver,
A few days ago the painters at
work ovcrhauling the federal
building found it necessary to take
down from the walls the big clocks
in the veterans and wiuows' de-
partments. They were removed
during the noon hourand carefully
placed upon tables, face upwards,
to await tie completion of the fres-
Going and painting Of the walls and
ceilings Of the two rooms. Satur-
day forenoon one Of the clerks
chanccd to look ut the dials Of the
clocks and observed that the hands
pointed TO lG minutes Of o'clock
The clerk quickly circulated the
report of his discovery and soon the
clerks, male and female, not only
from the pension, but other depart
ments of the building, trocped in
to see what was unanimously con-
,sidered to be an omen of victory
for the free silver cause. Even the
gold stripes freshly placed on the
big ceiling above the faces of the
clocks are reported to have turned
white when the discovery was
made, but they soon turned yellow
again through jealousy of the
attention bestowed upon their lG
to rivals.

Gold VS. Silver.

One ofthe most interesting de-
bates, on the question of the day, OF
this campaign took place Friday
afternoon at the Logan High School
between Ivan Rudisill and Lester
Venters. Ivan presented the gold
side and Lester the silver side.
The debate was very interesting
and was carried on with as much
earnestness as though these boys
were really opposing each other IN
the race for President. As soon as
the half hour was up Prof. Rayman
called time, but Ivan begged of
him to just let him have one more
sentence, but his request was not
granted, and so his side Of the 1ues.
ton was not completed. These
young men have surely made their
start in the world as orators, nnd
have found that their calling is that

paign. Keep on boys, and may
your tribe increase for upon such
as you depend the future OF our
country.

Mr. w. p. Jonas, our candidate
Cor coroner, was born in 1874 In
Monroe County, West Wa. In 1868
he moved to Ohio, and located at
Murray City where he now lives.
His occupation is that of a coal
miner. He Is one of those strong
representative men who have the
nerve to risk his life in the bowls
of the earth, seeking the black
diamond that humanity may not
suffer, and that his family may be
comfortable. We thought we were
in possession of his photo until the
cnts were returned ana his not
among them. His would have
been one of the strong faces among
our candidates. He Is OF noble
feature and man of iron will and
tender sympathy. AS coroner
there will be in him one who will
not be coarse in the ministration Of
duty to mangled humanity. He
lives In that portion of the county
where most accidents are proba-
BILE. Where daily life is a risk, be-
cause of the hazardous employ
ment. Then as Coroner, he will
be present in short notice to min
lister to a fallen brother whose life
has been crushed out by accident,

ballots for William j Bryan for
President and Thomas f. Watson
for Vice President.
The provisions of the agreeme Mt

With him was his brother, Jose, now

While preparing to invade Holguin,
Maceo received news that came with
crushing effect. The Cuban Congress
had signed treaty of peace with
Spain. The leader, who had made such
sacrifice, could not submit to anything
but freedom from Cuba. Calling a coun-
Gil of war at Baragua, he issued the
famous document known as the PRO
tesla de Baragua." He proposed to
keep on fighting and repudlate the ac-
ton Of the Congress.
Unwilling to surrender, Maceo still
made war on the Spanish for several
months. Reduced to absolute want the
great spirit of the soldier capitulated
in naughty letter to Martinez Campos,
in which he agreed to lay down arms
on the condition that Spanish man-of-
war be placed at his disposal to convey
him and his officers from the island.
Campos accepted the proposal and Ma
Geo disbanded his soldiers under a big
tree in the eastern part Of Cuba. Maceo
went to Jamaica and afterwards came
to New York. Some planters In Costa

which to coloniZe his braye followers

peace. In 1880 he made secret visit
to Cuba with the intention OF stirring
up another revolution. The Spanish

After defeating the Spaniards at Nal

extreme west, he had accomplished a
march of 800 miles, a military feat that
must forever place him among the most
