RENOMINATED.

Judge Thomas Cherrington was re
nominated for Circuit Judge by the
Republican Convention last Thursday
He was nominated unanimously, anG
was afterwards presented to the con.
vention and acknowledged the honor
of the nomination in some choice words
of appreciation and gratitude. Judge
Cherrington has won this honor by a
faithful and honora BILE service. His
career upon the bench receives the ap-
proval, not only of the bar, but of all
the people. He is never swayed by per-
sonal influences or the furry of the
moment, but declares the law always
in clear, straight words. He decides
only when he is sure he knows. For
this trait or talent, the greatest conf
dence is given his decisions all over
Ohio. We would not be surprised. If
before his next term expires, the peo-
pie will call him 20 seat in the higher
tribunal of justice. -Ironton Register.

THE RETURN OF PROSPERITY IN
THE MIDDLE WEST.

with 1897 the clouds lifted. 1t was
in many respects year of surprises
to the business world Of the plains.
Few realized why its record stands
out so brightly compared with the
half dozen seasons gone before
There have been published glowing
reports Of the wheat raised in Kan
sas, yet in two years in the past dec
ade have there been larger yields.
The corn is boast, yet four years In
the decade have done better. The
livestock products are pointed to
with pride, yet three years have
shown larger cash returns. The ag-
gregate value of all products of farm
and ranch has been exceeded twice
in ten years. The same is true of
Nebraska. Notwithstanding this. it
is doubtful if in all the history of the
prairies there has been a year when
the workers had so much to show for
their efforts-both in material values
and in enhanced credit-as in the one
just past. 1t was the first step for
ward that manifested itself promi-
nently. The advance had been going
on, but it had not come to the surface
The crops were above the average,
the prices were good, new sowing fav-
orable. But above these things, and
working with them, was the fact that
the debts, public and private, were no
longer nerve-wearing burdens-they
had been reduced in the years of econ
omy to reasonable proportions. Here
in lies the key to the new era that is
opening for the prairie West; it has
resources gained through its own toll,
and its obligations occupy the place of
servant, not of Harper's
Magazine for July.

IN TROUBLE.

Ralph Dunbar, of Parkersburg, Re.

Readers of the Leader will remem-
ber a story which recently appeared
in our columns stating that an elop-
ing couple from Parkersburg, Ralph
Dunbar and Eta Lowers. had been
refused a marriage license here be-
cause of the extreme youth of the
girl who was only fifteen years of age.
They were later married in Pennsyl-
vania. AS sequel the Parkersburg
Sentinel has the following:
Ralph Dunbar, who eloped with a
young lady of the east end a few days
ago and was married, is in serious
trouble.
Yesterday young woman of Ritch-
lie county, namd Cora Gatrell, went
before Justice of that county and
swore out warrant against Dunbar.
The paper was sent here and endorsed
by Squire Drennen.

the warrant on Dunbar at his home

at Court.
Miss Gatrell, the plaintiff, visited
friends here, and met Dunbar on one

AN EXPRESSION OF FEELING BY
BUELL. POST, NO, 17s, G. A. r.

BUELL. fOol, NJ Afe, ". "A. n
The proposition to return the old
flags captured in battle from the con-
faderate armies during the civil war,
does not meet with the approval of
this Post.
We dc not believe that the men who
carried those flags have originated the
proposition, or that the patriotic sons
of the South in general desire the re-
turn of an emblem which they now
admit represents mistaken cause,
We believe their return will be the
occasion of revival Of war prejudices
and a celebration of the service OF
soldiers who fought to destroy this
Government.
The display on public occasions OF
an emblem that is so offensive to all
loyal citizens, canot fail to incite ami
| mosities and we believe would prove
to be great barrier to the fraternal
relations we so earnestly desire to see
existing in all our borders.
We have the highest respect for the
bravery and military skill Of the Con-
federate soldiers, but we cannot for
get that the cause for which they con-
that their success would have destroy
ed our Government.
A proper respect for the memory OF
our own comrades who fell in battle
impels us to protest against an action
which will arouse the bitterness of
war, rather than allay it.
We rejoice that the sectional feeling
which existed for so many years aft
er the close of the war, has in large
measure passed away, and that our
brethren in the South ere rallying
with us around our common flag, and
that we are once more united peo-
Pile; and we do most earnestly pro-
test against any action-wEether by
fanatics or scheming politicians-that
will tend to revive the memories of
that conflict which threatened the life
of the nation and cost us so much
treasure and the sacrifice of so many
noble lives.

Thoughts Suggested BY Scenery We've,
From Harmar Hill.


When survey these tree crowned
hills,
These rivers, wales and plain lands
broad,
My soul enraptured instinctively fills
With the goodness and nearness of
God.
What nature teaches will ever be,
The truth in all its purity
She gives her students light to see
Beyond the grave the life to be.
But her pure truth hath often been
Badly tainted by minds of men,
Who in days to come will be, per-
chance,
Remembered for craft or ignorance.
So sometimes think on days like this
In view Of what here hath been
given,
Why seek afar for realms of bliss.
Were man but wise this would be
heaven.

HE WILL NOT TRY 1T.

A story comes from Santiago to the
effect that Admiral Cervera is con-
templating an attempt to escape with
his fleet to the open sea. 1t is said
that the cruisers are sent down to the
mouth of the harbor every evening to
await a favorable opportunity to
break through the blockade and make
a running fight with SIMPSONS war
ships.
The story may be simply idle gossip
but it suggests, nevertheless, way
for the Spanish commander to re-
trieve the reputation for shrewdness
and bravery which he lost when he
permitted himself to be bottled up at
Santiago.
OF course, Cervera would take a
desperate chance in trying to run the
blockade, and he would probably lose
one or more of his cruisers and all
might be sunk. He would, however,
stand chance to get through safely
by trusting to the superior speed of
his vessels, and once in the open sea
he could make dash for the feet of
the transports and strike terror to the
hearts of the Americans.
Cevera may adopt this desperate ex-
pedient to prevent the capture of his
squadron but we do not believe he will
Such an undertaking would require
courage of rare sort-the kind of
courage of which the Spaniards have
not shown themselves possessed thus

AN INTERESTING RELIC.
Recalling the last in Drilling Oil
Wells in the Oil Country.

Stiles Bros, who are operators in
the Cairo field, are also the owners OF
| the first oil wells ever drilled in this
state. These are located at Volcano
and are shallow sand wells. In look
ing over some old junk which had
been lying around these wells for
nearly thirty years, one of the
brothers ran across bit that was
used in drilling in those early days.
One who has been around the oil
nelds and seen the immense bits used
would scarcely that man could take
dozen of the bits of the kind in use
at that time and carry them to the
blacksmith shop. This was done. too,
for no tools were dressed in the der
rick. The bit in use then is about
four inches wide and about eighteen
inches in length. Fastened in the
drilling edge of the tool is a wedge of
steel. This bit was fastened to a
piece Of iron and then to a wooden rod
such as the modern sucker rod
1t was not run by steam and lifted
and lowered by a walking beam, but
by hand in spring board style.
The we'll at which this bit was used
was drilled at acost of $4,000
The Stiles Bros. are pleased to have
found the old style bit and will keep
1t as memento of the early DAYS in
oildom.-Parkersburg Sentinel.
