He Would Rather Pass.

Central1a Enterprise.
! J. W. Cochran has resigned all the
positions of trust, honor or profit
which he holds under state or munich
pal authority on account of the anti
pass law which went into effect about
a week ago. He has filed with the
clerk of the circuit court his resigna-
tion as court commissioner: has
returned to Gov. ScOtield his commits
sion as notary public with the request
that his resignation of that position
be accepted: and has filed with the
mayor and city clerk his resignation
as supervisor from the First ward. The
latter position he has held for about
sixteen years being chairman of the
board in 1880. Mr.. Cochran is an at
torney for the Milwaukee road and
receives a pass in part payment for
his services and while he thinks that
it is not a free pass within the meaning
of the law, he does not wish to run
the chances of bringing trouble on
himself if he retains his offices and
uses his pass; hence his designations.

Further Correspondence.

Oberlin, Ohio, March "A. 1S99.-Wm
COrcOran, County SurveyOr-My Old
Time Boy: [ hardly dare address you
as my boy friend Billy but can only
think of you as such, and as the wide
awake, rollicking boy who used to be
with me on Bear creek way back in
the sixties. Your brother Mike, too,
who was my best man and whom |
depended upon to do my skidding. l
think he could drive an OK team the
best of any man lever saw. He never
hallOOed to team, but when he was
ready he would squat half down, raise
his whip and just whisper to his oxen
to go and they were ready to lift for
all there was in them. 1t used to
aStoniSh the men to see what timbers
they would move with so little fuss
about it. Poor Mike, his heart was in
the right place and there was nothing
too good for him to do for his friends.
| have often thought of you boys and
wondered what had become of you.
Your father and mother, too. / first
found them in little cabin on the
old Cruikshank public square back of
Rablin'S store, and when the property
came into my possession he felt hurt
that he must move off. But / found
him a piece of government land on
the bank of the river below the rapids
and secured it for him by preemption.
ana there he lived when last l saw
him. He often said that | did him a
great kindness when | caused his
removal to that place. You must be
nearly sixty years old now, as am 73.
| don't suppose could stand as much
hardship now as l did those winters
on Bear creek, but | feel just as we'll
as | did then. The boys and young
men of those days were as tough as
tripe and did not know what it was to
be tired.
remember Orlando and VIM. Ward,
James and Walter Dickson. Hank
OSterman. the McFarlandS, and some
other faces whose names | have lost.
| do not know what has become of any
of them. l am glad to hear Of your
prosperity and desire to be kindly
remembered to all who remember me.
Convey my best wishes to Mikes boys
for their fathers sake.

eSted in the early history OF the sur
veys and land entries Of Wood county

Good Stationery,

1t is wonderful what good stationery
will do. A man may wear ragged
coat, have his toe kissing mother
earth each time he steps. conduct his
business in a ''rusty" looking office
room, but if the letterheads and
envelopes he sends to his correspond
ents are of excellent quality and
workmanship, they Immediately
transform all the realities" into
broadcloth and mahogany. 1t can not
be otherwise. Good stationery is sure
to make good impressions. 1t is sure
to make the man that receives it
think that the man who sent it is
about the right thing.
Elegance in stationery means in
fiuence in business. Half the world
would have confidence in the man
without cent of capital upon which

A second dispatch from Otis received
Manila, Nov 1O.-Report received
yesterday concerning WheatOn's move
ment erroneous. He did land at San
Fabian as directed and drove bulk of
enemy back in desired direction towards
Dagupan. Operations completely sue
cessful in every particular
Washington, Nov. 10.-Great interest
is felt in the War department over
AguinaldO's sudden change of base
northeastward from Tarlac to BayOm-
bon about 160 miles distant There
are numerous spellings of the latter
place. but the form given is the one
most generally adhered to on the maps
in possession of the War department.
The most interesting feature of the
new situation is that AguinaldO has
been forced out of the TagalO country
into a region to the north, where Ia
gallo is not spoken and where the noun
tains are filed with NegritCs and other
savage tribes, who are hostile to the
TagaloS. This is about the most
mountainous and inaccessible part Of
the island.
To the south of CarabeIo mountain
there is a narrow break in the noun
tain range, and within q few miles
around the base of CarabellO noun
tain on its northern slope one strikes
the headWaterS of the Magat, which IS
the beginning of the great river Caya-
gan that flows nOrthward 251 miles into
the China sea. 1t IS on tEe headWa-
ters of the Magat that AguinaldO is now
located The way is open for him
down the long stretch of the river to
Appari where the Cagayan flows into
the sea. This is one of the widest but
richest valleys in the island 1t is be
lieved that the river Cagayau is naVig-
able for our tin-clad boats $50 miles
from its mouth and for cascOes much
further.
1t is expected as soon as Aguinaldo
shows any disposition to move down the
valley toward the China sea that war
ships and gunboats will be sent around
the northern end of the island to meet
him and cut off his escape.
If it is his intention to escape from
LUzOn, he would naturally seek Appari
or some northern port, but the country
around CarabellO mountain is such that
he could probably stand off the whole
American force in a game Of hide and
seek in the hills for the greater part of
the coming season.

STILL IN DOUBT.
Both Sides Continue to Claim
Kentucky.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 10.-The uncer-
tainty regarding the result of Tues
days election in this state is not likely
to be removed for some time. Both
sides still claim victory, the state chair
man of each party asserting that his
ticket has a plurality of about 1000.
Newspaper returns from Republican
sources give Taylor a plurality of 3,43S,
While those from Democratic sources
make GobePs plurality 941. These lat
ter cover all but 35 precincts in the
state, although several reports from
counties give estimated pluralitieS in
stead of actual OF the missing pre-
cincts five are in Louisville, which went
Republican this year, 20 are in strong
Republican counties and ten are in
strong Democratic counties.
Feeling among the factions has been
aggravated rather than allayed by the
developments since Tuesday. Excited
meetings are being held in many parts
of the state to protest against frauds
which, it is alleged, are contemplated
by the leaders. Nothing short of the
official count Will determine the result
and it is a fOregOne conclusion that the
announcement of that count will simply
change the scene of the conflicts to the
courts, or to the legislature, where is
will appear in the form of a contest
