THIRTY Cent Wool.

A local buyer informs us that a few
choice clips Of wool haveb been purchased
at 30 cents. or course, this IL n little
in advance OF the market, yet tho lndI-
cations favor a 3O-cent market before
many weeks. The general price may be
said to he 2S cents. The advance In wool
prices has been more rapid than almost
any one expected, but few thinking last
spring that wool would 60 beyond 20
cents this season. II was thought the
large Imports previous TO tho passage
OF the tariff bill would keep the price
down for this season, but II Is now

on, E,n OF Calamity nowlIng.

It appears that a strike at the Bellaire
mill Is due largely to Popocratlc agita-
tors and calamity howlcrs, who have
followed out the line OF the attempt OF
Bryanites over IN Ohio recently to pre-
vent a settlement of the miners' strike,
IN order TO aid In the effort to dis
credit the reports OF better timce and TO
retard the coming Of prosperity. As
stated in the IntollIgencer heretofore,
there are many men in the Bellaire mill
who base their strike action on their be-
lief that the scale Of wages In force n
based OF a larger product than they

An article in the Pittsburgh Times
from the pen of Bion Butler, the expert
writer on oil, concerning the oil supply.
Is attracting considerable attention
among oil men, because Of the dis
couraging state of affairs 1t reveals. Mr..
Butler shows that natures reservoirs of
oil are being drained rapidly. THIS is
shown by the fact that after three years
of operations, unparalleled in their mag
nItude, the yield OF the amber fluid is
only on a level with the demand. He
shows that there are indications also that
the 10000 wells are falling short, and
declares that the producing regions are
confined mainly to the original belt be-
ginning in western New York and run-
ming to the Little Kanawha or Parkers-
burg region in thls'state. While this Is
true. Mr.. Butler says that the demand
for oil is doubling every six years.
At this rate the demand will soon ex-
coed the supply unless new fields are
discovered and opened up. II is an as
founding fact that In the past three
years, since the fall OF 1894, the amount
of petroleum produced has been one
NTH of ali the oil produced in America
since the FIRST well was sunk by Drake
in Pennsylvania, Notwithstanding this
unparalleled production, the trade has
grown more rapidly and is is probable
that at an early day the supply will fail
to meet the demand. This will mean. Of
course. a big rise in the price OF oil, I'M
less In the meantime new fields are
opened.

What sen.auonall.m Did.

The case OF Emmett @. Gibson, vice
president of the Akron, Ohio, Street Rail-
way Company. and promoter of other
street railway enterprises, who was ar
rested In New York charged with pass
ing a forged check, Is an example of how
easy It is for a mistake to occur involv-
ing the character of a good man. The
arrest occurred after a check had been
returned through some error on the part
Of the bank in which 1t had been accom-
plished.
ON account OF the pominence OF Mr..
Gibson the yellow newspapers in New
York saw a a r chance To work their
trade, and a sensational story vas
woven, in which Mr.. Gibson was held UP
as a man who had been living a double
life and yalthough engaged in big deals,
was privately victimizing wealthy men
by means of bogus checks Lists of the
alleged victims were published. among
them men Of great prominence in the
financial world. and the fairy tale was
telegraphed throughout the country to
be eagerly read by the public. At Mr.
Gibson's home there was a profound SEN
satton caused by the exposure" of the
veritable DR.. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde career
he was alleged to have been ltying all the
time he was supposed to be a man Of
honor.
On Tuesday Mr.. Gibson vas arralgned
In a New York court and, behold! the
maker OF the check was there and de-
clared II TO be genuine; the bank that
had returned It discovered its mistake;
there was an array of business men and
bankers from several large cities
throughout the country to testify to MIR.
G4bson's good name. good character and
good credit; the prosecuting witness
stated that he was mistaken and asked
to withdraw the charge. We have not,
however. heard from the yellow journals,
their explanation and apology for the
fanciful stories of the alleged double life
they told about Mr., Gibson leading, with
q particularly OF detail and circum-
stance that caused everybody to believe
that he was the champion swindler Of
the age. It appears that there was not
one word of truth in the many incidents
their accounts chronicled. The enter
prising reporters had simply made their
stories Of whole cloth.
What amends can these scandal mon
gers and creators make TO Mr.. Gibson
for the wrong that was done him? The
incident and Its outcome reveals some OF
the inside workings of the news factories
Of yellow Journalism. No man or
woman Ia safe when a sensation is want
ed. Private life and the sacredness Of
the home are not respected when the
space writer sees an opportunity for "a
good story for which there is q brisk
market among these yellow sheets thar
constitute what they themselves style
"the new Journalism"
In politics It is the came policy with
them. A man has but to gain public
position to become the target for this
class OF journals. He is fortunate II his
every act or every utterance is not i'm
pugned, and his personal character made
the object of assault. And what remedy
has he against these sensation mongers
and political assassins? Apparently

LET US go for autumn leaves" she said.
The sun was shining overhead,

And beauty wrapped us everywhere.

Bright pictures made against the blue;
I gladly wandered by her side,
Her footsteps through the woods to guide
\ soft flush tinted her fair face,
She lightly moved with fitting grace:
Her ayes were bright with joyous life;
Away from noise, toll and strife
The perfect charm OF Natures calm
Upon our spirits like n balm,

With all, ave our own selves, forgot

Blood Poison and Insanity.

From the New York Medical Record:
While the fullest credit should be Civ
en- To the staff of this important in
stitution (the State Institution of Path
ology), it is but fair to state that the
study of toxaemia in connection with
insanity is by no means 4 novelty, nor
is 1t the discovery OF the enterprislng
young gentlemen CONNECTED with the
establishment who have been credited
herewith. Over 4 decade ago Solomon.
Regis and others recognized the toxic
origin OF mental disease, while no less
than ten others, among them Herter and
Smith, have written extensively on the
subject. Perhaps most credit should
be given 10 DR.. Allan McLane Hamil-
ton, whose paper en- ''Autotoxis as q
Cause Of insanity" was read before the
Medical Society of London in Nav last
and noticed in your London letter n
short time subsequently,. In this pa
per, which contained much original re-
search. the connection between toxae.
mia and insanity was fully shown.

REFERENDUM IN AND
The People One az tho Most Conserva.
tive OF Forces.

Inc feopie tne at the Most (OnSerya'
tive OF Forces.
The Swiss people, as consulted by the
referendum, has again proved itself one
OF tho most conservative of forces, says
the London Daily News. It has re-
iected. by 100000 TO 1901 900. the pro
posal TO establish federal national
bank. The voting has followed the law
Of these national consultations. The
parts are extremely suspicious of tho
whole; the voters rarely fail to make
short work OF all proposals 80 increase
the federal power. Their first Impulse,
and usually the last is to say NO"
OF twenty-seven laws referred down to
Il recent period fifteen were vetoed and
only twelve approved. This probably
accounts for Mr.. Balfour's known par
TALLY for the measure. The Teferen-
dunn made its first appearance in the
federal constitution in 1874. 1t is in
the ''facultatiye" form; that is to say,
any federal law and all nOn-urgent fed
eral resolutions must lie submitted to
popular vote if petition to that effect
is signed by 10000 qualified voters or
by eight cantons. The late Prof. Free
man had q great kindness for this
method OF consulting the popular juGg-
ment and he saw in it development Of
the Landesgemeinde, which is the Swiss
equivalent OF the New England town
meeting. 1t is naturally better suited
to small communities than to large
ones. The Swiss democracy, in one OF
its aspects, is bat a glorifed town meet
ing. Mr.. Freedom was converted to
the referendum by belief that it
would give us vote on the real merits
of a question. and net merely on it's
relation to the fortunes of party or
Of n minister, and he thought that Mr..
Bryce had exaggerated the difficulties
OF its application to our own more COM
pick political society. At one time it
was favorite device OF the conserva-
tive party for dishing home rule. Mr..
Goodwin Smith thinks it would check
the corruption in Canadian politics.
The Swiss are so satisfied with it that
they have it in the cantonal as well as
in the federal form. Some OF the east
ern states OF the American union have
made the referendum Il plank" in
their state platforms, but the movement
has made no great Roadway in the
union at large. 1t is probably that
the methods of American clectioneer-
ing would soon deprive it of the sim
plicity and diroctncss of operation
which it has in Switzerland.
