AN IMMENSE PROJECT.
Austin Gorham Has Begun the DeveloI
ment of the Marshal Mines.

Austin Gorham Has Begun the Develop
ment of the Marshal Mines.
Austin Gorham came over from Den
yer this morning to conclude the hnan-
cial business connected with his Marshal
coal mine scheme. Returning to Den
yer this afternoon by way of Marshal,
he stopped to view progress on the prop
critics there.
In speaking with Camera represent
alive this morning, Mr.. Gorham outlined
the vast possibilities of the development
of Marshal, and he spoke with the as
surance born of a close acquaintance
with the underlying formation OF this
county. In one of the two holes which
have been opened up recently in Mar
shall in pursuing the vein Of hard coal
there has been encountered IoH inch
ledge of iron ore. Mr. Gorham is conf
dent that with depth he will tap large
body of oil of the same quality as was
discovered at White Rock in small
quantities several years ago, and which
was pronounced to be equal 10 the finest
quality of oil found.
The dip OF the valley renders Marsha
a sort of basin and according to .ex-
pert opinion the stream encountered al
White Rock was but feeder to vas
oil lake underlying the Marshal district
This theory will be practically tested as
soon as possible.
Mr.. Gorham has interested eastern
capital to the extent of over $4,000 fo
the developing of the mine and has th'
prospect of sufficient additional sums t.
assure the complete success of thu
scheme. The first draft of $4,000 wa
received yesterday afternoon and in
stallments will be continuous hereafte
as fast as needed.

WHITE FOR GOVERNOR.
The Triple Convention at Des Moines Solid
for Silver.

The Triple Convention at Des Moines Solid
for Silver.
Des Moines, June 24.-The Demo-
cratic convention adjourned early last
evening, having completed its work.
The two allied conventions, the Silver
Republican and Populist conventions,
completed their work slightly in advance.
The three factions were, after much con-
troversy, able 10 agree on one platform.
with free silver as the main idea, and
one ticket, composed of two Democrats,
two Silver Republicans and one Popu-
list, will be placed on the official ballot
under the name Democrat" When
this became known there wasa split in
the Populist convention, the middle.of-
the.road faction, under the leadership of
A. w. c. Weeks walking out. The Sc
ceders numbered probably 100 of the
delegates. General J. B. Weaver's fac
ton remained with the Democrats,
wheIeupon he was bitterly denounced.
But for this rupture the union of all the
free silver forces would haye been COM
plete. The ticket is composed as fol-
lows:
Governor-F E. White, Democrat
Keokuk.
Lieutenant Governor-B. A. Plummer,
Silver Republican,, Winnebago county.
Judge Supreme Court-L. G. Kline,
Democrat, from Bryan, Polk county.
Railroad commissioners. B. Grain,
Populist, Dallas county
Superintendent of Instruction-G. F.
Rhinehart, Silver Republican, Jasper
county.
The conventions were unanimously
and enthusiastically for Bryan and his
name was cheered at every mention.
The platform is an endorsement of the
the Chicago national Democratic plat
form and the financial section concludes:
"And we enter into the first campaign
after the great battle of the people
against the combined corporate and
money power, in which that peerless
statesman and patriot, William J. Bryan,
was our leader, with the reasserton that
we demand the free and unlimited coin
age of both gold and silver at the present
legal ratio of IS to 1, without waiting for
the aid or consent of any other nation"
The Republicans, in the management
OF the national campaign of last year are
charged with bribery, intimidation, col
onization and deception. 1t is charged
that "the rich men contributed millions
upon millions to Mark Hanna's cam
paign fund, and he has triumphed by the
corrupt use of these vast sums. They
are now about to reCoup themselves from
the pockets of the people"

ASSERTED HERSELF.
The Old Man Didn't Count for Much,
but He Owned the House.

1t was Sunday afternoon and the old
gentleman responded in person when
the door bell rang. Furthermore, the
old gentleman was not in the best of
humor. However, of course the young
man didn't know that or he would
have been ready to dodge.
The young man, it may be explained,
just to show that everything was in ac-
cordance with the rules of polite soci-
ETY., never had met the old gentleman,
but he had met the old gentleman's
wife and the old gentleman's daughter,
and had been invited to call whenever
he was in the city, and it so happened
that he was in the city this lovely Sun
day afternoon.
"I-aw-Miss Brown in?" asked the
young man.
Now it so happened that the old gen
tleman had his opinion of anyone who
said "aw," and it was not a fiattering
one, either. Consequently he growled
out some thing to the effect that she
was not in.
80 sorry, you know" said the young
man.
The old gentleman didn't know, but
he took it for granted and made no
further comment.
Then it seemed to dawn upon the
young man, who was fumblng for a
card, that perhaps he had made a mis-
take.
This is-aw-her house, isn't it?'
he asked.
1T is not" returned the old gentle
man, bluntly.
"Oh-aw-beg a thousand pardons,"
said the young man. Thought it was,
you know. So sorry. My mistake"
He was turning away when another
thought occurred to him, and he quick
ly turned back again.
Can you-aw-tell me where she
lives?" he asked.
Here, replied the old gentleman.
But you told me"
Il told you it wasn't her house, and
it isn't her house." interrupted the old
gentleman Its my house. l don't
count for much when she and her
mother are both here but it's mine
just the same. She may get it some
time, but l don't want any out-of-
dudes figuring on it just yet. There
are enough in the neighborhood who
are going to be disappointed.
AS usual, however, the young man
was equal to the occasion.
He said 'Aw!"-Chicago Post.

The Frederick

already constructed. The Frederick
and Middletown road is essentially
county road. 1t is true that it runs
through the streets of Frederick. But
Frederick is an exceedingly compact
town occupying not half the area that
western or northern town of the
same population occupies. Distances
are not great, and we may conclude,
therefore, that the travel from place to
place within the town is not very large.
The road must depend for its earnings
upon the passengers and freight traffic
of the country through which it ex-
tends and the travel of excursionists
from Frederick to places along the
road.
The road lies through one of the
most fertile and beautiful agricultural
districts of this country famous for its
productiveness. But the farms are
comparatively large, the country is not
densely peopled and there are few vii
lagos. The road crosses the Catocin
mountain by heavy gradients. This
road furnishes an outlet for the wheat
and other products of the rich farms
through which it passes, and has,
doubtless, greatly enhanced the value
of the lands bringing them nearer to
market. 1t certainly has contributed
to the pleasure and convenience of
country life along the line. If this
electric road pays, why may not others
in like places? there is a vast
amount of capital lying idle and look
ing for investments, and it may be
that much of it will find employment
in electric roads. Those places where
water power is available are particular
ly fortunate, as by this wonderful
method force which has been going
to waste since the beginning of time
can be harnessed and put to work
transporting passengers from place to
place and carrying produce to market.
1t is just possible that the twentieth
century may bring as great develop
ment and advance as the nineteenth.

GIVES UP THE PRESIDENCY,

Gen. Jones, president of the State uni versity, has given notice that he will re- sign his position.
 From some cause, tihe State university has suffered no little from public criti- cism during the year just passed, and investigations have shown that radical change would have to be made if the school should reclaim its former prestige
 Speaking of the intention of Gen. Jones' the Tuscaloosa Gazette says: The Tuscaloosa. people heard of the contemplated retirement of Gen. Jones from the presidency of the university with ineXpresslble regret. There lives no purer citizen, no nObler man, nor more elegant gentleman than Gen. Jones. Scholarly, polished. affable, stainless, true, indeed he possesses all the attri- butes that go to make up the typical, chivalrous southern gentleman.
 He ca me to the university from the law office He sought not the honor, butt has faithfully and zealously devoted himself to the arduous duties he found awaiting him. In spite of the torrent of criticism and abuse that has systema tically and unjustly assailed the university of late it has nevertheless done some of the best work of its history under Gen. Jones' ad- ministrat ton, and that more has not been accomplished is Certainly not due to any lack of zealous effort and enthusiastic WOlh ulf tlt part Ol llIc pfeSlQenL WnO has had devolving upon him very com plicated line of duties, he being expected to do almost kindergarten work teach law. manage refractory boys, represent the school in business way, direct the faculty, all combined. and yet have no power beyond a very limited territory indeed.
 This mailstrom would long since have swamped a man with less ability, energy and pride than characterize Gen. Jones, and that he has been able to hold up un- der it so long is g. monument to his pow CTS.
 We do not know what has induced this decision of Gen. Jones, but we do think that the trustees of the university have failed to uphold him and give him that deference due a man in his posi- ton One notable instance of this was last commencement, when the trustees allowed the student body to make form al complaints to them in session assem- bled, contrary to the rule that all student complaints must come through she presi- dent

He made bold to say that protection was a discredited theory of government, and that it had been relegated by all intelligent men to the era of Chinese walls. This assertion raised storm of abuse-the protection press claimed that MT.
