CraiRS.
/ sent in my items last Monday
but they never reached the Office.
Chris Garner has put up a nice
new residence and moved into II
last week.
Brother Tinsley's meetings were
largely attended and did a great
deal of good.
James Snedegar and wife visited
John Shrout and wife, near Moore's
Ferry, last week.
Sam Shultz and wife visited the
family of Daniel Blevins, near
Olympia, last week.
James Snedegar and wife moved
Thursday to 10 Toys, near Sharps-
burg, on the Ben Wright farm.
Mrs. 10 Snedegar and children

There is talk OF some one setting
up batch shebang," but l think
it will fall through for the lack of
a fiddler.
Robert Kelly and wife moved
into the house vacated by Dee Rud-
der. We were glad to have them
come in our midst; we always well
come good people.
Dee Rudder moved last week to
the John Craig property on Prickly
Ash. We are all very sorry to lose
Dee and his estimable wife, for
they were good neIghbors.
John Coyle moved to the C. W.
Honaker farm on Prickly Ash. We
we're sorry to have them go, for
sohn was a good neighbor and had
a nice family, but at the same
time we know he made a good move.
Died, Wednesday OF last week,
Willie Davis, the six-year-old son
OF JEFF Davis and wife, after long
illness of spinal meningitis. The
borrowing parents have the sympa-
thy oL.he community IN their sad
bereavement.
Grieve no more for little Willie;
He from suffering now is free,
For the Savior said of children:
"Suffer such to come to me-"
He has taken little Willie
To the happy realms above,
Where can come no tears nor sick
ness,
But unmeasured joy and love.
Little Willie is an angel,
Free from sorrow, pain and strife
He will never know the sorrows
That crowd this mortal life.
You again may meet your darling
In that land of pure delight,
And be numbered with the Just ones
In their garments pure and white.

would be without any practical
value. Direct legislation will give
the poor old constituent an oppor-
tunity to shape legislation. The
lawmakers have to heed the pop
ulace or the public can do what
they wish. At present after cleo
tion the average legislator pays no
more attention to the people than
he would yellow dog. They are
getting all they deserve, the people
are. When they are wiser they
will get more. No man will buy an
office if the people have the imper-
ative mandate tied to his leg. They
might have him out of Office before
he got his money back. You see if
the imperative mandate was in OPP
Grafton a certain per cent. of the
voters could demand that the office
holder be retired. The people would
then vote on the question of wheth-
er he should remain in office or
not, and his fate would rest with
them. 1t would only be a modest
request to ask your would-be Rep
resentative to have it enacted into
a law or to use his earnest endeav-
ors TO that end. He would not nee
essarily have to compromise his
party to do so. 1t is simply ele-
waiting a principle above party, but

before 1 could give my support, nor
would l advise the people to do SO.
L would not want to prescribe for
any one, but it is plain PROPOSE
tiOn. 1t is the man asking for the
suffrage of the people, and not the
people asking for anything; only
for their votes to count for some
thing, or, in other words, the peo-
pie to rule, as was bequeathed to
them by the Constitution. l would
like an expression from all the
corpts. on this proposition.

WHAT RUBE SAYs.-In connection
with Prof. Falb's dreadful prophe-
cies for this year il is interesting
To learn that Reuben Fields, the ia
nous mental mathematician and
animated timepiece of Warrens-
burg, Mo-, now on his periodical
visit to this country, says that a
tornado will strike this town on
June 4th and make debris of il.
Rube's mathematical powers are
unquestionable, wonderful as they
may appear in mere relation to one
who has never tested them. His
chronometrical ability, more mys-
terious than his calculating powers,
is accurate enough for all purposes
except perhaps timing a race, but
prophecy is new role for Rube,
and skepticism is permissible.
All persons knowing themselves
indebted to us please call and settle

A Needed Lesson,

New York. May 3.-A special to the Her
aid from Washington says: There is rea-
son to believe that the adminst ira ton
proposes to use the Pears case and the
Bluetields incident to create respect for
the United States in Honduras and Mica
ragua. While it is assured that the gov
ernments of Honduras and Nicaragua
wish to act correctly, their subordinates
have been guilty Of petty prosecutions of
American citizens which. in many in
stances. cannot be made subject of Off
cial complaint. The state department is
therefore determined to bring the Hon
durians and the Nicaraguans to account.
With this object in view the proposition
of the Hondurian government that the
Pears case be referred to arbitration has
been rejected and Minister Hunter has
been instructed to press for an immediate
settlement. Should the $4,000 indemnity
demanded be not forthcoming within a
reasonable time. a squadron will be or
dered to Honduras to force payment.

load them in shells, but Captain
Stuart conceived the idea of press

No News of Seven of Gunboat Yorktowns
Men.

Washington May 3.--The following
has been received from Admiral Dewey:
Manila, May 3.-Secretary of the
Navy, Washington: The following are
the Yorktown prisoners at nsurgent
headquarters at Sanisido: Lieutenant
Gilmore, Chief Quartermaster william
Walton, Sailmaker's Mate Paul Won
doit, CoXswain John Ellsworth. appren-
tice, third-class, Albert Petersen;
Landsman Sylvio Brisolez, Landsman
Paul Edwards and Landsman Fred An
derson. Provisions have been sent to
them by Otis. Am continuing inquiries
as to the fate of the other seven. The
names of the men unaccounted for,
with such data relative to their enlist
ment and nativity, are as follows:
John Dillon, landsman, enlisted at
Mare Island, Cal; born at Peru. Ind.
Charles Albert Morrissey, landsma n,
enlisted at Mare Island; born at Co
lumbus, Neb.
Ora B. Mcdonald. ordinary seaman,
enlisted at Mare Island; born al Cor
NAL Valley, N. C.
William B. Shinders, coxswain, en-
listed at Mare Island; born at Amster-
dam, Holland.
"Orrison w. Woodbury., seaman. en-
listed at Gloucester Mass; born at
Lynn, Mass.
Arthur Venville, apprentice of the
second-class; enlisted at Mare Island !;
born at Dudley, Eng; next of kin, E.
Marsh, Bellwood, Ore.
''E. Nygard, gunner's mate, third
class, enlisted at New York; born 1t
Warsaw, Russia"
1t is said at the navigation bureau
there is every reason to believe that
these missing sailors are not dead, or
at least not all of them. Naval officers
here believe some of the Yorktown S
crew succeeded in making their way
into the lines of the Spanish garrison
at Baler where they would be well
treated.

wise and reduce the lists on which pay

doubtful whether the military authority
Will pursue its efforts to purge the Cuban
rolls, as the soldiers themselves are most
concerned in seeing justice done to those
who actually bore the burdens of the in
surrecton, and their representatives are
indisposed to encourage any critical in
VeStigation. The government will prob
ably have to disburse the $1,000 900 i'm
partially among the deserving and unde-
serving.
Two Cubans have been arrested and
held on the charge of sending obscene
literature through the mails. AS there is
no Spanish law making such an offense
criminal, the postal authorities are puz-
zled just how to proceed.
The military government has decided to
return to the United States all eX-solders
now serving sentence in Cuba for mis-
conduct.
The sanitary authorities are enabled to
report that no active cases of either yell
low fever or smallpox exist in Havana.
