3,000 votes.
I'm Lucas county the situation is prob
Ienatical. Nobody knows what strength
Jones win develop or from what party he
will draw. 1t is believed that he will be
supported largely by Republicans. He has
always been elected by the votes of that
party. Democrats know he cannot be elect
ed. and they will not waste ballots by yot-
ing for him. They are going to vote united
ly for John R. Mclean.
eWe believe that these three counties
which gave a total plurality of 2S,000 for
Mckinley in 1896, will give a Democratic
plurality at the November election. The
Democratic position all over the State is
stronger than the Republican. Our oppo-
nents are wrangling among themselves. We
are united and harmonious. Mclean will
poll the full party vote. All men who call
/ themselves Democrats and all independent
| citizens who resent Hannaism in any form
will vote for the Democratic nominee.
.aThe labor vote is unitedly in favor of
! Mclean His friendliness to organized Ia
! bor will be substantially appreciated. The
/ non,1lar impulse is for him. The typo
! granhical unions are ardent in it's support.
aOn national Issues Democrats will rout
/ the Republicans. If vote could be had
! tomorrow Mclean would be elected on
tbe single issue Of Mckinleyism. The peo-
nle Of Ohio do not support the Republi-
! can Administration. They are tired OF
! fellows like Alger and Corbin and Eagan
and Otis. They know that these men are
the ripe fruits of Republican misrule
The tide of anti MeKinleyism is risin 2
all over the State. II is unifying the
Democrats and splitting the Republicans
! in twain. 1t is making worse and worse
a situation which was already had enough
for the Republicans.

The editor receives many inquiries
from people il all sections Of the I'M
ION, as to- Industries, wages, lands, etc.,
and to obviate the necessity of writ
ing letters, the following general re-
plies have been prepared. The Editor
will add further information, but en-
quirers should always send stamps.
WAGES.
Logging camp wages range from So
$3.50 per day, and the employees are
charged board.
Carpenters So to So per day.
Ordinary labor $3.50 to So;
Woodworkers ST. so to So;
Farm labor $40. to $25. per month;
The nature of work, the skill OF
workman, and condition of the mark
ct makes difference in wages.
RENTS.
A house in Shelton rents from So
to $40; some poorer buildings are
cheaper, but good comfortable dwell
ling brings So to $1o Houses are
scarce here.
There are some farms and ranches
which can be rented cheap, and one
or two places, which can be had for a
year or two for keeping them up.
FUEL.
Wood is burned almost entirely.
Fir wood sell at 80 cents to 81. per
rick (half cord) delivered. Hard wood
alder and maple will cost little more.
On the ranches and away from town
wood costs the cutting.
LIVING.
The cost of living in section is very
moderate. very few things being much
higher than in the East, and many
much lower.
Best flour is 80 cents to ST.. per sack.
Butter, Is to 80 cents, according to
season.
Eggs, Is to 30 cents according to
season.
Potatoes and other vegetables, 25 to
so cents per bushel.
Fruits and vegetables are becoming
very plentiful, producing heavily, and
are within the reach Of all.
LAND PRICES.
Practically no good vacant land
convenient to settlement, is available
| for homesteaders. The Northern Pa
cific and the Mill companies own large
bodies OF logged-off lands, some of
which are we'll situated for agricultur-
al purposes, which are offered for sale
at prices ranging from 81 to SIS per
acre on the 5 and 10 year contract
plan, which is very reasonable.
We advise homeseekers that the
best and cheapest plan for them is to
find partly improved ranch and buy
1t, where they will find everything
ready to begin making a living. This
is a good section for workers, and idlers
and people who are not willing to
work are rot wanted. There are good
openings for milling, or other business,
or intelligent farming IN Mason Co.,
but no one should come without suffi-
cient means TO secure start.

ON THE TURN OF A CARD.
Young Spanish Woman Be-
came a Loyal American.

Two of the boarders At fashionable
uptown hostelry are pretty Spanish
woman and a prosperous young Phila-
delphia business man. Several months
ago, or before the destruction of the
| Maine made the situation between this
country and Spain serious one, the
two became engaged, and, to their cred
pure and simple. Well, when the war
began the young business man was in
continual hot water. He is patriotic to
the core, and yet he thinks there is no
girl in the world equal to his fiancee.
She, despite ner promise to become an
Americans wife, is as Spanish in her
sentiments as she could possibly be,
and she has not hesitated to speak right
out in meeting.
Finally things became so warm that
the young fellow could stand it no
longer, and he told his fiancee so. She
received the news gravely at first, and
then laughed: "Iql tell you what let's
do" she said. "You love the United
States and l love Spain. But we both
love each other better than either of us
loves our country. Have you got pack
of cards?" The young man, just lit
tie bit bewildered over the queer turn
affairs had taken, hunted up some
cards. Now" continued the young
woman. I'm going to deal until I
turn up jack. If you get you give
up your American sentiments for my
sake. If I get it, I'll give up my love Of
Spain for your sake. Will you agree ?''
The young man demurred at first, but
finally catching roguish CLEAN in his
fiancee's eye, consented. The cards
were dealt, and 10! the first jack fell
to the young woman. "Henceforth /
am an American" she exclaimed,
throwing herself into her lovers arms,
and those who know her say that since
that day she has been as good a citi-
zen of the United States as any woman
can be.
The Spanish girls intended has con-
fided to a friend that he doesn't know
! exactly just how it all happened, but
he has good reasons for believing that
his fiancee dealt the jack to herself from
the bottom of the pack or had it up her
sleeve.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

OLD LETTERS.

The house was silent and the light
Was fading from the western glow;
I read. till tears had dimmed my sight.
Some letters written long ago.
The voices that have passed away,
The faces that have turned to moio'
Were round me in the room to-day
And laughed and chatted as OF old.
The thoughts that youth was wont to think
The hopes now dead for evermore'
Came from the lines Of faded Ink
AS sweet and earnest Of yore.
/ laid the letters by and dreamed
The dear dead past to life again;
The present and its purpose seemed
A fading vision full OF pain.
Then. with a sudden shout of glee,
The children burst into the room.
Their little faces were to me
AS sunrise in the cloud Of doom.
The world was full of meaning still,
For love will live though loved ones die
1 turned upon life's darkened hill
And gloried in the morning sky.

TAXES LOST TO THE STATE.-Under
a decision rendered by Judge Hanckel
in Norfolk yesterday the State of Vir.
ginia will lose 100000 taxes alleged to
be due it by the estate of the late DR..
Thomas F. Andrews, of Baltimore. An
drews moved away from Norfolk in
1852. and it is claimed never returned
to Virginia to reside. He died in Bal
timore 10 1856, leaving an estate valued
at about $745 900. His two sons and
one daughter were the bene6cisries
under his will aud were also mis- execu-
tors The will was admitted to probate
in Norfolk and the executors quallhed
in the Norfolk Court, though they
continued their residence in Baltimore.
No taxes wers paid on the estate, con-
slsting of bonds, railroad property, &c,
during the period that 1t was in process
of settlement. The commissioner of
revenue assessed back taxes, but coun-
sci for the executors claimed that DR..
Andrews was not resident OF this
State at the time of his death, nor had
he lived in Virginia for long time
previous; the executors were not resi-
dents OF Virginia, and that none of the
property upon which the tax ia assess
ed was ever actually situated In the
State.
Judge Hanckel decided the case in
favor OF the executors on the ground
that Che heueficiaries and legal owners
aeing nom residents, the state could
oot tsx. The Commonwealth will car
~ the case to the Supreme Court of APP
naala.
