Martins Ferry Demands a Share of
Appropriations tor County Bridges,
and Secures This Amount.

Last week the citizens of Martins
Ferry struck a small Klondike, and all
through the alertness of City Solicitor
w. B. Francis, who by the way is a
Democrat of the good old kind, and
will be out for reelection this spring.
Some time ago MIR. Francis advised
the City Council that they could de-
mand and receive for the city one-half
of all the taxes collected in the city
for the keeping up and repairing Of
county bridges. Last spring Council,
acting in accordance with the advice
of the Solicitor, passed a resolution
asking that one-half of the tax men
toned be returned them by the County
Commissioners, but owing to the fact
that the notice reached the office Of the
County Commissioners too late, the
County Auditor having settled with
the State Auditor, Martins Ferry did
not receive any OF that fund in the
apportionment last August.
Monday last when the Commission
ers were again in session, Solicitor
Francis again made the demand, and
they set apart the city's amount, which
reaches nearly $1,000. The amount
will be turned over to the city semi
annually, in February and August.
This amount goes far beyond what
anyone expected, and will reach long
way toward lessening the municipal
taxation and what is more, it could
net have been turned into the city
treasury at a better time.
The Commissioners, to be sure,
thought it somewhat unfair to turn
this money over to the city, but it was
the law, and they had no choice in the
matter The chief objection raised by
them was that the city had all around
its borders on the different thorough
fares leading in to it expensive bridges
which have been a great expense to
the county, and which the Commits
soners had just finished repairing
while. fortunately for the city, it had
few if any expensive county bridges
within it's limits to keep up.

THE OUTLOOK FOR WAR.

The passage by unanimous vote of the
Cannon bill, appropriating $50, 100000 for
a war fund, by the house of representa-
tives, Will go far toward assuring the
people that the administration is deter
mined on asserting the honor and hui
manity of this country. The president
was consulted regarding the measure,
and gave it his sanction.
The chief executive evidently has
plan Of action regarding Cuba, the exc
cution of which is being delayed until
the country can gets its navy in good
shape and until the report of the Maine
court of inquiry shall have been made.
This plan apparently contemplates rec
ognition first of the belIigerency of Gu
ba and later her independence.
This will allow the insurgent sympa-
thizers in the United States to furnish
them with money, arms, ammunition,
ships and other military supplies with
out interference. and will permit as
many people as desire to fight for free
dom to crafty themselves by joining
the army of independence. With these
privileges and re-enforcements, it is be-
Heved that the insurgent sympathizers
in Cuba would all take up arms; that
the present autonomist government
would render its aid, and that the Span
ish army would be expelled from the is
land
This course might lead to war, or it
might not. In the meantime some IN
looked for occurrence may precipitate
a clash on short notice.
The president seems to be alive to the
possibilities of the situation. The end
ing of the struggle in Cuba seems in a
fair way to take precedence over the
Maine affair, whatever the report of the
court of inquiry may be.
The preparations for defense and Of
tense now going on in the United States
are in line with WashingtOn's great
maxim: In time of peace prepare for
war''-particuIarly with a crisis i'm

At a conference of the prominent

three candidates, as follows:
Lieutenant governor, George H. Case,
MankatO.
Attorney general, c. B. Daughters,
Lincoln.
State auditor, A. H. MCGEE. Oberlin-
The conference expects the Sixth dis

dates and to stand by all of them until
the last ditch is reached.

Reeder, A. H. Ellis. W. H. Haskell,
William Simpson, John r. Hamilton
and several others gained the inner
sanctum but the utmost secrecy as to
the proceedings has been observed by
those who participated.
The pase week has developed the fact
that William Simpson Of Norton is
likely to break into the congressional
race. The Norton county Republicans
have announced that they will be for
him and he has about decided to try
to secure the nomination.

THE KANSAS PEBBLE POLISHED

Says the Washington Post: When
Representative Jerry Simpson first came
to congress he was heralded far and
wide as a rural member, who had yet
to learn city ways, but in fact he has
proved himself a very versatile legisla-
tor This season he has made several
distinct hits in his speeches, 50 that Re-
publicans, as well as Democrats, have
shown a Willingness to grant him time
to speak But in social directions, al
though a Populist from Kansas, Rep
resentative Simpson has shown apti-
tude. As a good fellow and a genial
companion he has by no means been a
failure in congress. Personally while
they may differ from his political views
men on both sides of the chamber are
friends of Mr.. Simpson.
That he is not failure with the
gentler sex was clearly indicated when
one of his old friends in Washington
visited the capitol Saturday, accompan-
led by several stylishly dressed young
ladies, who move in the best social cir
cles. Jerry" as he is most often called
around the house, did the honors most
politely, entertained the young ladies
with ease and grace, piloted them
around the building, and last. but not
least, took them to the senate restaur-
ant, where a repast was spread that did
credit to Mr.. Pages skill as a restaur-
ateur and to the Kansan's hospitality

Rolling Mill of Large Capacity

Kansas MethOdists Celebrate at
Baldwin College.
Two Hutchinson Women Have
a Street Fight.

Armourdale, March 10.-E.W. McKen-
ma of Milwaukee. Wis, a capitalist and
steel manufacturer, closed a deal for
more than seven acres of ground in Ar
mourdale, with the Kaw Valley Town
site and Bridge company this week.
McKenna is president of a steel rail
manufacturing company, which will in
the very near future begin the erection
of a large steel plant on the ground
purchased.
Plans for the buildings are now being
made, and it is stated by an agent of
the TOwnsite company, who was seen
last night. that the plant would be I'M
der course of construction in the next
two months.
Frank Parsons, of the firm of Jenk-
ms & Parsons, agents for the Townsite
company in Armourdale, was seen last
Tuesday night and asked regarding the
proposed plant.
1T is true that negotiations were
closed for the purchase of the ground
today said Mr.. Parsons. 4 also know
it to be the intentions of Mr.. Mckenna
to erect large steel manufacturing
plant on the site, which will engage
principally in the making of steel rails
for use on railroads"
The land which is to be the site of the
new steel mill comprises seven acres
and lies west of Twelfth street in Ar
mOurdaIe, and near the yards of the
Kansas City Belt railway. The Belt
Line company can easily get switches
to the new site, furnishing ample trans
pOrtatiOn facilities.
A large number of men will be en-
ployed in the new mill. If it proves a
duplicate of the one operated by the
same company in Joliet, Ill, at least
25O operators will be employed in its
operation.
The plant, so Mr.. Parsons stated. will
be composed of three buildings, and will
be erected at a cost of s135,000 by the
Lewis Foundry and Machine company
of Pittsburg, Pa.
This firm is under contract to have
the rolling mill in operation by July 1,
so it is understood.
