A DOG THAT CAN TEST METALS.
Silver TIP Knows Good Money from
Fad, Every Time.


Fad, Every Time.
No bank teller in Iowa has truer
instinct for real, genuine cart-wheel
silver dollars than has Il Rock Rapids
dog called Silver TIP, says the Chicago
{Timcs-Herald. Silver Tip is tun-colorcd
and weighs about ten pounds. All his
two years of life he has been the prep
crty of Landlord Barber, of the Lyon
hotel, at Rock Rapids, but it is only
within the last year that his power of
immediate insight into the nature Of
metals has become known to his owner.
. The way Tip manifests his powers,
as his owner puts it, is as follows: II
one takes a pile of coins the. size Of an
American doilaf-say a trade dollar q
Mexican dollar, a fve-franc piece and
some counterfeit dollars-and puts one
genuine dollar, piece in the center of
'the pile Tip will rummage around
AMONG them for an instnnt and then
snatch the good coin and proceed to
take care of It in approved dog fashion
to I'M Accompaniment IL igrowls and
bites. Or II one rolls asaOinS along the
ffloor Tip can tell every time whether
tit is good stuff to be chased.
:. Ijp never uakeS u MlA{SAke, anu lnere
isn't a bit of doubt aboRt his powers.
He has been tested by Chicago bust
mess men and by committees of iowa
scientists. He gets no human help,ih
his work. The good coinfs not marked
N amy peculiar way for his benefit,
'!nnr is 1t scented. Anyone can use his
own coin in the experiment. Nor docs
.%Ti"s powers depend on signs from bis
'rm:$,er. The latter leaves the room
without detracttng from the dogs abii-
ity IN the least. "

The Weather,

The snow that fell the middle OF
December did not all disappear until
Sunday, two and half weeks, giving
us pretty good winter weather with ice
four inches thick. The last week has
been mild and springlike, and all the
frost has disappeared from the
ground. While we are having it pleas
ant here severe weather has been pre-
vailing South and West
'"The heaviest rain storm of recent
years" prevailed throughout Missouri,
Arkansas and Indian Territory during
Saturday and Sunday, being followed
by furious snow storm. The Mis-
souri, rivers are flooded, and consider
able damage is reported A blizzard
ragged Sunday over most of Minnesota
and the Dakotas. A heavy snow storm
prevailed throughout Kansas on Satur-
day. Monday severe storms swept
through parts of Texas, Arkansas
Louisiana, Missouri, and also extended
to Oklahoma. A number of lives were
lost and great deal of damage to
property was done. The Mississippi
river, at st. Louis, rose 1853 feet dur
ing the thirty-six hours ending Mon
day. A tornado at Benton, Arkansas,
on Sunday night, destroyed a number
of buildings and killed one person.
1t is much colder to-day.

THE SONS OF DELAWARE.

New Years day was made memoir
able at the Sons of Delaware Club
Rooms. The reception was largely at
tended and the donations by the mem
bers towards furnishing the Library
were numerous and handsome, COM
prising rare and choice books. Lunch
con of genuine Delaware turkey and
Delaware biscuit (the latter made and
baked in Dover, Delaware) was
thoroughly enjoyed.
The generous hospitality so character
istic of Delawareans seems intensified
on the part of the members of this So
ciety, evidently due to the fact that
these reunions so freshly remind them
of their first home life, which is so sa-
cred to us all.
There were present visitors from all
parts of the State Mr.. Charles Post
les, of Milford; DIR. Evan G. Short
lidge, Messrs. J. Harry and Frank H.
HOffecker, Hon. S. J. Wiley, Mr.. J.
L. Brewster, Jr., and Mr.. Bye from

Odessa, Messrs. J. w. and d. G. Curtis
and J. H Caleb, of Newark; Captain
H. H. Bellas, U. S. n ,and Mr.. Samuel
Townsend, of Philadelphia, and the
rooms were thrOnged from II A. NJ, by
not less than $50 of the members.

and with accepting an Office in
the Constitutional Convention to
which he was not elected. Is
holding office thus, according to
the genius of our democratic in
stitutions, an honorable position ?
We leave the question with our
contemporary. 1t was natural
and legitimate to fight the Sen
atorial aspirations of Mr.. Ad-
dicks. The Legislature, as cleo
ted, put this matter out of the
question. The Constitution Con-
vention and the county offices of
Kent had nothing to do with the
Senatorship, and yet the plain
election law was set aside, and by
techuicality and otherwise, men
who were not elected were given
the offices. Because we defend
law and custom of long prece-
dent, we are charged by one we
would least expect it from, with
a departure from conservatism
and temperatures. " We should
be derelict to the position of in
dependant journalism if we re
manned silent in the midst of
such an invasion of popular
rights, let it come from whatever
source it may.

Delware is not the only State
where elections do not elect
They are suffering from this un-
American habit in Tennessee, to
say nothing of otheIs Southern
States. The Ne,c IOrL. San, in
speaking of this case. under the
head of "Fraud in Tennessee,
says:
The Legislature of Tennessee,
which met Monday, will have
one important piece of business
to consider. The Tennessee Re
pubhcans assert their candidate
for Governor, the Hon. George
N. Tillman, was elected last No
vember and was counted out"
by means of frauds on the part
of PopOcratic election officers in
the western part of the State.
The returns indicated the cleo
tion of the Hon. Robert L. Tay-
lOr, the PopOcratic candidate, by
a plurality of some six thousand
votes. According to the Repub-
licans, Mr.. Tillman was elected
by a plurality of some sixteen
hundred. At the same time
they believe that an investiga-
ton of the election will show
that his plurality was more than
three thousand.
1t is notorious that Henry
Clay Evans, the Republican can
didate for Governor, was elected
in 1894, but Turney, the Demo
cratic candidate, was counted in.
1t is a matter of common in
formation and belief that fraud
was practiced in Tennessee at
/ the last election. and not in the
State election alone. The Meme
PhjS Commercial APpeal, the most
conspicuous Democratic paper in
the State. has taken a manly and
sensible position in favor of hon
est elections, and has been Op-
posed therefor by some fool pa.
pers. which seem to believe that
fraud is laudable, or at least per
missible, so long as it is prac.
ticed against Republicans.
By the side Of a direct anC
shameless violation of the free
dom Of elections, all merely tenn
porary political or economic
issues are of small Importance
II the will of the majority can bt
set aside. hideous despotism il
possible; and under the forms O.
law lawlessness is triumphant
1t is sad that any State of tn,
South should countenance tina
fraud from which the South ha
suffered so much.

KENTON M. E. CONFERENCE.

At the fourth Quarterly Conference of
KentOn Circuit held at Kenton, Jan
uary 2nd, 1897, the following resolu-
tions were adopted:
WHEREAS, By limitation; Brother
Alfred Smiths term will end with this
conference year, as Presiding Elder of
Easton District and this being our last
Conference over which he will preside,
therefore be it
ResOtUed, By this Quarterly Confer
ence held at KentOn on this second
day of January 1897,
LIST, That we render unto God thank
full hearts for the blessings He has be-
slowed upon Brother Smith in the
giving of needed grace to prepare him
for the responsible work that He had
called him to do, and in the building
up of physical and constitutional
health.
2, That we hereby express our ap-
probation of the amiable spirit that
Brother Smith has always manifested
when presiding over our Conference,
and to what ever field of labor our
Father in heaven may Call, and the
annual Conference may send him, the
light that he has reflected upon the
pathway of life will help us as we pass
along lifes journey.
1t was resolved that copy of the
resolutions be sent to the SMYRNA

BIRTHDAY PARTY.
Given in Honor OF Miss LOtta Smiths 18th
Birthday.

A very pleasant party was given by
Mrs. Maria F. Smith, in honor of her
daughter, Miss Lolita, on New Years
Eve, the occasion being her 18th birth
day. The residence of her uncle, John
Price, where the party was held, near
Smyrna, was prettily decorated with
evergreens, and, it is needless to say,
every one present on this occasion en-
jOyed themselves to the utmost. Dane
ing was the principal feature of the
evening, and the hours passed merrily
until 12 o'clock, when the company
was invited to the dinning room, where
refreshments were served in sumptous
styles. The company dispersed at
2 O'Clock. Thirty couple were present
mainly from Smyrna and vicinity.
Miss Smith received many handsome
presents.
On Friday evening Miss Smith enter
tanned number of her friends at her
home on Mt. Vernon Street. This oc-
casiOn, like the one above, was pleas
antly spent
