Bushnell and, think, Mr. A. G. Hoard.
The books and records of the State
Executive Committee will bear testi-
mony that neither Mr.. Hanna nor any
of his immediate friends gave single
neckel to Republican State headquar-
tiers that year. Mr.. Hanna may have
given $3.50 to his County Committee
OF course I could not tell as to that,
but some of his friends who were on
the stump in that campaign had to be
withdrawn because word came to our
committee that the parties would make
Republican speeches without mention
ing Foraker's name and then go among
the crowd and tell how badly Foraker
would be beaten. Our committees sent
out detectives, and these were the re-
ports brought back to us. I am re-
ceiving numerous letters from promi-
nent Republicans in Ohio

to Judge Grant. These come from
ex-judges, prominent business men,
labor leaders; many of them from
Cleveland and Northern Ohio, from
which I infer that our people have had
about as much Hannaism as they can
well stand.
ST have been at work for the Repub-
lican party for the past 80 years, and
never before have I witnessed such
open brutality in American politics as
that displayed by the methods now
used in Ohio. I never voted the Dem
ocratic ticket in, my life. The people
in Ohio will bear testimony to my
faithful service, but Republicans
should unite, as our forefathers did,
in early days, in throwing off the yoke
of oppression, and there is no other
way to do that now except for Repub-
licans to vote squarely for BushnelPs
election and the Democratic nominees
for House and Senate.
Concerning my opposition to Nc
Kinley, I never opposed him in any
way I openly criticised the high
tariff, as many other Republicans did.
am opposed to extreme protection, as
I believe it is unjust and unfair to
the American people. These were the
only grounds upon which I criticised
McKinley's administration. I shall
have occasion to speak upon this in
tie future. A. l.. CONGER."

Sistersville. w. Va, September L.
The well drilled on the Travis farm,
to the northwest of the Elk Fork pool,
mention of which was made a few
days ago, has been drilled to the Big
Injun sand by the owners, ]. M. Guffy
& Co., and it is also dry in that direc-
ton. This well is fully two miles
ahead of developments in the north
west and was a very important wildcat
venture.
Notwithstanding the fact that nearly
all Of the papers which publish oil
news made a great howl when the fact
that there was considerable interest
manifested in the Sancho pool, of
which mention has been made, was
published some time ago, they are
switching around now, and all Of them
have something to say in favor of the
pool. There is considerable drilling
being done out there at present, and
some wells of more than ordinary i'm
portance are being drilled in. In this
territory Ramey & Co. are due in the
sand with their No. /, on the J. C.
Leasure farm, and it will probably be
drilled into the pay to-day or to-
morrow. During the past few days
there have been several locations made
in this pool, and as soon as the rigs
can be completed drilling will be COM
menced.
Rulings & Co. have a bad fishing
job at their No. Hawkins, and it
looks very much now as though they
had plugged the hole and would be
compelled to move the rig and start
a new well. During the next couple Of
days there will be several wells due
in the Elk Fork field, but they are all
in defined limits, and will not be of a
great deal of Importance.
The Magnolia Oil Company's No. Z,
on the Farrell farm, is drilling at 700
feet, and Henry & McDonald's No. Z
and II Pipes are drilling at 400 and
so feet respectively. The Henry OIL
COmpany's No. 4, On the Joe Williams
farm, has been rugged up and drilling
will be commenced within the next
few days.
Since the drilling in Of the Nicely
well, in the Wilson Run territory,
there has been a very notable falling
off in the value of property in that
section, and it is not hard matter
to get hold Of pretty good lease at
a fair figure
Last evening while a torpedo man
from this city was putting a small
shot in one of the wells on the Pipes
farm for Henry e. Mcdonald he set
fire to the rig and it was burned to the
ground. Frank Brown, who was on
the rig at the time, was severely
burned about the hands and face, and
at last reports was in a very serious
condition, but he is not so bad that
his life is in danger. During the past
couple of weeks there has been quite a
number of accidents Of this kind in
the oil field in this section, and it
would seem from the reports received
from the most of them that gross
carelessness is the cause of all the
trouble and that in great many
cases the people who are injured have

only themselves blame, although
tbs was the case inn the above men

The South Penn Oil Company, which
has had fishing job Vat their we'll
on the Boreman-Strouse tract, to the
east and south Of the Elk Fork pool
a distance of about a mile, have
plugged the hole and will now be
compelled to move the rig and start
a new one. The first hole was down
about 900 feet when the tools were
lost. This well is one of the most
important wildcats drilling in this
section at present, and was being
watched very closely by those interest
ed in the territory in that part of the
field. It will be delayed a matter of
about week by this bad luck.
The Henry Oil Companys No. 8, on
the Joseph Williams farm, which was
drilled in few days ago, and which
was reported at first as good for So
barrels an hour. is not god for more
than 200 barrels day. This well is
almost due west of the big ones on
the Pipes farm, and is about a half
mile from the wildcat drilling on the
Hill farm. The Hill we'll will put in
the last string of casing this week,
and should reach the sand by the first
of next week at the outside This we'll
is the farthest to the west af any that
are drilling at present and it will test
the territory in that direction to
great extent.

From Baltimore.
Baltimore, Md, September 1.-Au-
gust of 1897 was the banner month in
the history Of the port Of Baltimore
so far as exports are concerned. Their
value amounted to the enormous sum
of s1O,243,3S1, figures never before
reached.
Of the exports, grain formed the larg-
est part, aggregating 9,230,6S0 bushels,
breaking the record of the port for
shipments of this character. These
were made up as follows:
Five million four hundred and sew
enty-five thousand, eight hundred and
sixty-one bushels Of wheat.
Three million five hundred and sew
enty-five thousand, seven hundred and
three bushels of corn.
One hundred and three thousand, five
hundred and ninety-six bushels of rye
Sixty thousand and twenty bushels
of oats.
There We're Al full cargoes of grain.
Among these the knight Bachelor

largest cargo of cereals that ever left
an American port in one ship.

Il TIL cory,

The announcement Is made that i'm
mediately after the reassembling of
congress Senator Lodge will introduce
a bill providing for the purchase Of the
Danish islands, st. Thomas, st. Croix
and st. John. The state department
has, it is said, learned that the Danish
government not only is willing to sell,
but that two European governments
are now negotiating for the islands.
These governments are supposed to be
Germany and Great Britain. The Unit
ed States in 1868 negotiated a treaty
with Denmark for the purchase Of these
islands for $S,OOO,OOO, but it was defeat
ed by Charles Summer.
We seem to have got along pretty
well without those islands since Charles
Sumner defeated the treaty, and per-
haps If another Charles Sumner arises
now and defeats the new scheme we
shall continue to live. Many think we
could live and flourish without any
more islands, even such islands as Gu
ba and the Sandwich. The Daily Chron-
icle Of London ridicules the notion that
England is negotiating for the purchase
of the Danish West Indies. 1t says
"Quite apart from the breach it would
make in our relations with the United
States, the purchase of more West In
dian islands is the very last thing Eng
land would think Of" Denmark doesn't
want them, and the theory is that the
United States does want them for "a
naval station" 1t is an interesting and
| significant theory.

ONE PLAIN CASE.

When a woman wants a new hat she
wants it, and anything that stands be-
tween her and the hat does we'll to get
out Of the way. If it doesn't get out of
the way it will be showed out. Men
know that women often pay too much
for new hat and hurry too much in
getting it. But Of course nothing that
mere men can say about the matter
counts with the women who want and
will have a new hat. All the same
we feel it our duty to record a fact for
chilly illustrative of the fact that the
shadow of a coming new hat may ut
terly obscure reason and foresight in a
woman. There is woman in Braun
schweig, Germany, who is wearing a
new hat that cost her $4,000. She was
anxious to buy hat, but had nothing
| with her except lottery ticket. The
merchant accepted 1t in place of money,
and a few weeks later it drew the great
| prize. The woman's husband tried to
induce the merchant to share the spells,
| but he consented to share only to the
extent Of $125.
OF course there are not many women
who buy new hats with lottery tickets,
and there are not many lottery tickets
that win $4,000. And we leave out of
| consideration all moral questions con-
nected with this wondrous transaction.
All we are trying to do is to make it
entirely plain that it is not always wise
for woman to go pell-mell for new
hat.

SOME PENSION FRAUDS.

Those who have been vociferously de-
claring that the pension lists ought not
to be published, and that no frauds
would be revealed if they were publish
ed, will find a nut to crack in the report
from New York to Pension Commission
er Evans that certain special examiners
have unearthed gross frauds in the pen
sion business in that State. The report
shows that a number of persons have
been arrested, some Of whom have been
tried and convicted for various viola
tons of the laws during the December
term of the court. The statement Is
made that these infractions of the law
are but a small part Of the Irregularities
found as a. RESULT Of the investigation
Of the rolls of the New York pension
agency.
Small or large, thorough examina-
ton of the lists should be made. It will
be made If they are published as the
Commissioner recommends. And it is
very much for the interest of the honest
and deserving pensioners that it should
be made. Their patriotism and their
sacrifices should not be traded on by q
lot Of constituencies rascals.

STABILITY OF CONTINENTAL LA
ROR

The British iron trade delegation adj
mits again and again that labor Is more
steady and reliable on the continent
than in England. Strikes, it is stated,
are almost unknown in Germany, and
the Workmen do not make any broken
time worth speaking Of. On this point
the report points one or two obvious
lessons. Strikes being very rare, "it is
obvious that the steady course of in
dustry in any country has a tendency
to give stability and permanence to it's
operations which could not be expected
from other condition" is to say,
for a constant liability to suspensions
of work by reasons of differences be-
tween employer and employed. Again,
the delegation was greatly struck with
the sobriety, steadiness and readiness
to act upon instructions" of the work
men on the continent, and hence the
natural reflection that "the- workman
who is regularly and steadily engaged
at work is not only earning better
wages for himself, but is in a better po-
sition to do good work, while the effect
of such a state of matters on the en-
ployer is that he gets the maximum
production out Of his plant-no heat be-
ing lost through broken time, etc" But
it must not be overlooked that, although
it may be stipulated in the bond,' the
continental workmen have a great
amount Of consideration extended to
them as a reward for this docility and
steadiness of conduct. They are assist
ed to acquire houses and gardens on
reasonable terms, whether as tenants or
as owners" Then the majority of the
workmen on the continent, at least in
the countries visited, are assisted in
the matter of state pension and acct
dent insurance funds to an extent that
is hardly known in England. The state
imposes burdens upon German manu-
facturers from which British or Amer
lean employers would be likely to
shrink in dismay. The delegation found
that at one large establishment in the
Fatherland the state burdens of all
kinds amounted to about 100000 a year
and at two others, in the same locality
| the kindred burdens were 100000 and
| a35, 1000 a year, respectively.

Whole waists of plaided silks and
velvets are seen, and such garments,
besides being rich and handsome, have
fashionable endorsement. But plaids,
especially the bright ones, are used
with best effect as trimmings, and a
sufficient quantity of the bright stuff
can be used in one costume to satisfy
the most eager longing for it. One way
