A terrific wind storm passed over
eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey
on the Esd. The principal damage con-
sisted of the uprooting of trees and
blowing down of telegraph and tele-
phone wires. In some instances houses
were unroofed.
Suit has been brought by George T.
Hathaway and Richard Heard, of Bos-
ton, against DIR. Nansen, the arctic ex-

in which Jack Idle, Burton township
citizen, aged so, committed suicide was
a novel one. Fastened at the front of

one end. Idle noosed the rope around
his neck and with his feet and knees
touching the ground he leaned forward

Republican Convention at KiOWa
Experiences a Row.
A Defeated Candidate Makes
Charges of Corruption.
A LIVELY SENSATION
Air Filled With Epithets and
Charges of Lying.
Short Grass Convention Beats
the Record for Excitement.

Greensburg, Aug. 23.-The RepubIi-
cans of this county held their conven-
ton Saturday and nominated the fol-
lowing ticket: Representative, Rev.
E. F. Reser; probate judge, Alex Doug
las, present incumbent; clerk of district
court, Joe Dorland, present incumbent;
superintendent of schools, G. E. Battin;
county attorney, F. j. Fullington.
The resolutions were of the regulation
pattern.
The convention extended the courtesy
to both successful and defeated candi-
dates, of an invitation to address the
convention. Nothing unusual grew
out of this privilege until after the
nominations had all been made, when
County Attorney Davis, who was one of
those voted upon for county attorney
was called out.
He promptly responded, patheticaIIy
thanking his friends for their support
He then turned his attention to the
Greensburg ring. AS he told of their
thieVing and corrupt methods in poll
ties, they got mad and tried to make
him stop, calling him a liar and using
other epithets.
Partial order was restored but Da-
Wis, hot shot was too much for the ring
and the chairman called for a motion
to adjourn and they did adjourn the
ring but most of the delegates remained
and heard Davis through. Such
shaking up of dry bones never before
occurred in this county. Many tax
payers, who had voted against Davis,
walked up, congratulated him on the
bold stand he had taken and thanked
him for the information he had given
them.
Davis friends will bring him out indie
pendent of politics for county attorney,
which office he has filed for nearly two
years, collecting more bad claims and
saving more money for the county than
any other county attorney ever had,
Several of the ring have been made re-
turn money due the county, for which
they swOre vengeance on Davis. The
ring is all broke up, and many predict
that there will not be a man elected on
the Republican ticket this fall Davis
will undoubtedly be elected by a big
majority.

A RRIGHT OUTLOOK.

In discussing the recent marked ad-
vance in the values of securities Mr.
Henry Clews in his Weekly Financial
Review says:
Il is not surprising that the stock
market for the past week should have
been under a movement that ap-
prOaches almost a booming character,
for the reason that the week was
memorable for the best of news all
round-in connection with the crops,
in connection with the foreign relations
Of our government, in connection with
the money situation and the prospect
of bringing gold this way from Europe
this winter in large amounts for the
payment of our products, in connection
with our exports as compared with our
imports, and, last but not least, in con-
nection with the cessation of hostili-
ties with Spain and the declaration of
peace by the president. The future of
this country is certainly full of prom
Use, and all the favorable conditions
that exist stand for an active stock
market with a rising tendency. The
half Of the year '98, say from July to
January l, will beyond doubt mark the
highest notch of prosperity which this
country has attained in its history, and
1t is that prospect which is at the bot
tom of stock values at the present time.
It is not surprising, therefore, that the
current is at high tide.
In all my business experience in Wall
street, which covers period of forty
years, I have never seen a brighter out
look for all business interests in this
country than the situation now pre-

marked to Sienkiewicz that she wonder

NO HOPE OF SAVING TEMPLE
W. G. T. o. Leaders Say Mrs. Carse's
Plans Are Failures.

Chicago, Aug. 23.-Leaders in the w.
c. T U. declare that the plans of Mrs.
Matilda B. Carse to nquidate the debt
on the temple can never be consumma-
ted. Should the struggle not be entire
~ given up it is said that efforts will be
directed only toward retiring the $780,,
600 temple trust bonds created by Mrs.
Carse and nothing is said of the $500, 900
worth of stock and the bonded indebt
edness of a like amount which would
still remain.
Mrs. Helen NJ. Barker, who represents
the anti-temple faction, has received
communications form more than 40
state presidents declaring in favor of
abandoning the temple idea. Mrs. Carse
and her followers, it is said, have little
hopes Of securing any support at the
convention to be held in St.Paul, though
they are making preparations for a con-
test Miss Lucy Page CASTOR has hope
that a comparatively small sum may be
raised by the chain-letter scheme. 1t is
admitted that the wrapper plan" of
Mrs. Carse has failed.

DON'T WANT SPANISH ARMS
Officials are Glad Those at Manila
viii Be Returned.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Ordnance Of
icers are really relieved that they will
not have the care of the small arms
captured at Manila which by the terms
of surrender are to be returned to the
Spanish soldiers when they evacuate
the city. 1t is stated by officers of ex-
perience that it would not be profitable
for the United States to secure am
munition supply for a different kind OF
gun, where there were only small
number such as those captured at San
tiago, or which might have been cap
tured at Manila.
If fifty or one hundred thousand
stands of arms were taken then the
United States might work prohtably
in the matter of supplying them with
ammunition different from the regular
army which has been adopted for the
troops and which are now in use. The
ordnance bureau had an opportunity
to select the Mauser when the krag-
Jorgensen arm was chosen. The OIL
GERS made the examination and found
defects in the Mauser which give the
other gun the preference. They believe
that the introduction Of a small number
of small arms into the army of different
make and calibre would do more harm
than good and that in the end the ex-
pense would more than make up for the
temporary saving that might follow the
use of the captured arms.

EMBRACES CATHOLICISM.
Rev. A. Colt Wants Marriage Annulled
to Become a Priest.

Milwaukee. Wis, Aug. 23.-Friends of
Rev. Arson Colt have learned that for
a second time Mr. Colt has left the
Episcopal church to enter the Roman
Catholic faith. In addition he is said
to be now endeavoring to secure a pa
pal decree annulling his marriage in
the Roman church. Mrs. Colt was Miss
Debow of Ripon, and is also said to
have become a Catholic and to favor
the separation.
Mr.. Colt is very we'll known through
Nashotah, being a nephew of the late
Bishop Brown of the Fond du Lac do
cese, and was ordained by him in 1898
at Brooklyn Mr.. Colt became doubtful
of the validity of his orders and the
catholicity of the Anglican church and
made his submission to the pope. He
was then baptized as a Roman Catho-
lie by Father Halpin. Being married,
Mr.. Colt could not enter the Roman
ministry. Two years after he left the
Anglican church he made application
for readmission. Having been deposed
by the archbishop of Long Island, it
was necessary for Mr.. Colt to serve
three years before he could be restored
to the ministry. He left Mrs. Colt in
the east and went west and studied in
Wyoming.
Last fall he expressed a desire for
monastic life and entered an associate
monastery at Omaha, a retreat for
Episcopal priests, who make vows of
poverty, chastity and obedience for a

HAY NOT AFFECTED.
Consumption of Product Not De-
creased by EIectricitY.

New York. Aug. 23.-At the meeting
of the National Hay association at
Buffalo, Mr.. Cyrus Bates of Boston as
serted that the displacement of horses
by electricity and bicycles has not ma
terially decreased the consumption Of
hay, as many think. For the future he
thinks there is encourag cement, as the
low cost of hay has caused its much
freer use. J. H. Clendennin of Balti-
more, however, spoke of a decrease in
the consumption of hay, caused by the
displacement of horses. He estimated
that horses have been displaced in our
leading cities as follows: Philadelphia,
$4,000 Chicago $4,000 to $4,000, Greater
New York 10000, Baltimore 25, 900, St.
Louis 10000, Cincinnati 10000. Rich
mOnd, Va, 5000, Toledo. O., $4,000. AL
lowing that each workhOrse requires
fifteen pounds of hay per day, the dis
placement of the above number marks
a decrease in consumption of over 1900
tons per day. Add to this the horses
displaced in other cities and you will
understand, he said, why the hay trade
is not as active as it was a few years
ago.
