Nothing a Year.

It Is said that one half of the world
does not know how the other half lives
1t might be added that neither of the
halves cared much how the other half
gets along. But be that as 1t may, we
all know that the mere problem of
living is very serious one with many
OF us. The mere getting of food and
clothes and roof occupies nearly our
entire attention, and we all dream of
an ideal state in which we will cease to
worry over the matter of board and
lodging, when we can look with indif-
ference upon the disappearance of the
stock Of -four or potatoes, and can
contemplate without disquiet the vor-
aclous appetites OF the children. know
ing that there is no difficulty about re-
newing the supply Oh provender But
though the law really provides that
nobody shall starve, and makes provis-
ion for feeding and housing us AL at
the public expense, yet few of us
choose to accept this plan, and we keep
on worrying
That we often do so uselessly seems
to be demonstrated by the example of

whereby he keeps soul and body to-
gether in good shape at an expense of

mind that Americans ate too much.

Some days, instead of a baked potato,
he has what Southerners call COW
peas, which are extremely cheap and
wholesome. They cost FIVE cents a
pound and swell very much in cook
| ing. He cooks them with a bit of salt
pork. Rice is also one Of his staple
foods, and occasionally a little milk.

week, which costs 219 cents loaf.

SCio'S Baptism of Fire,

Scio has had her first taste of one of
the inevitable experiences of the oil
town. Not an o.. center of any con-
sequence evef managed to escape very
long from the ravages of fire. The
costly visitations that characterized
the early life OF every oil town that
has attained significance have become
historic. From Titusville all the way
down the creek to Bradford, Wash
lngton and West Virginia, fire has been
the chief terror of the producer, and
merchant and the resident of the town.
The total losses in oil fires represent
enormous sums of money, and until
the temporary buildings are burned
down and have given place to others
and tne saturated air and earth have
been drained of their greasy riches, the
fear of fire Is continual.
Scio has had but taste. Some of
these days, when the town has reached
greater proportions, when the shanty
of the oil man has poked its ugly nose
into every available building spot,
when the streets are lined by rows of
inflammable creation ON both sides,
and the derricks stand thick all over
the town, then let the match get into
.4e gassy atmosphere, and see what an
oil fire really is. The insurance comp
anies know,as Scio will learn when the
policies are to be adjusted again, and
as other oil towns learned long ago.
1t is not necessary that an oil town
should burn down because there is oil
there, but the oil town builds so rap
idly, and makes such excellent food for
the flames by its method of construc-
tion, and offers so little hindyance in
the way of fire fighting apparatus and
water supply, that the place is always
the easy prey to the match Scio has
had It's initiation. But that is nothing
Scio has a great deal yet to encounter.

City Affairs.

ber was much-needed improvement
It would, however, give some of the
councllmen of three decades ago the
cold chills to see the elegant surround
ings in which the city business is now
conducted. All the facilities those six
worthless used to have was six chairs
and table. The City Solicitor, Street
Commissioner, Mayor and other Off
GERS sometimes got chairs, but often
did not. Spectators were not expected
and stood up. There were no newspa-
per reporters in those days and the
Council meetings were not regularly
reported but they were doing business
tor about six thousand people. Now
the present Council transacts business
for fifteen thousand people and they
ought to have decent place to dos it
in. People generally will be satisfied.
Now let the Council when they send

will approve of that also. Let us take

Daugherty's Conference With Hanna

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 22.--The
chairman of the Ohio Republican
state executive committee, II. M.
Daugherty had his conference with
Senator Hanna Saturday.
AS has been anticipated, the subject
discussed was whether Mr.. Daugherty
should be candidate for the guberna-
torial nomination. The conclusion
reached was-well, Mr.. Daugherty is
the best man qualified to make the an
nouncement, and he will probably do
so soon after he returns to Ohio.
The conference was held in Mr. Han
mas Office at the Arlington hotel. 1t be-
gan somewhere along about 10 o'clock
this morning and lasted nearly three
hours. When it was at an end it was
agreed among those participating to
say nothing about what took place
Congressman Charles Dick took part in
the conference. Senator Hanna was
sphinXlike as usual,an in Daugherty's
face there were traces of deep, earnest
thought.
1t Is more than speculation to assert
that the question whether or not Mr..
Daugherty will be a candidate was not
decided at the meeting today. The
state chairman, it is understood, sought
Mr.. Hanna's opinion on the matter of
his entering the race and it was doubt
less given in most considerate and
friendly way. Now Mr.. Daugherty will
decide for himself whether he will be
candidate. The state chairman knows
the senator nor anyone else contem-
plates preventing any aspirant from
entering the contest. The principal
aim fthe loyal republicans, however,
is to consolidate all their strength for
the purpose OF nominating the strong
est and safest man for governor. II
robably Is a safe prediction that Mr..
Daugherty will not be a candidate next
summer.
Judge A. C. Thompson, of Ports
mouth, came to Washington today in
the interest it is understood of General
GrosvenOr's candidacy for the guber-
nomination. He has an ap-
pointment to see Senator Hanna to-
night, and the situation was thorough
Iy discussed. AS it stands tonight in
view of the last fifteen hours Grosyen-
Or has gained some strength, and his
chances are much improved

Death of a Prominent Oil Promoter.

New York, Jan. 23.-James B. Weir,
who was prominently connected with
several of the historical industrial de-
velOpments of this country, is dead at
his home. His death was the result of
an attack of grip a short time ago,
which developed into pneumonia. Mr.
Weir was born in 1926 in the north of
Ireland and was of Scotch-Irish des-
cent. When he was eight years old
his father brought him to this country
He went to school here and started his
business in Philadelphia. He moved
to New York before he was of age and
went into the nursery business on his
own account in 1886 His father was
in the linen business. In 1S49 he went
to California and was one of the earl
lest "Fortyniners." He visited sever
al OF the gold mines in order to make
sure that there was really an abund-
ance of gold, and then went into the
wholesale grocery business in Cali
fornia. He was successful and soon es-
tablished house in New York under
the name of ]. B. Weir, through which
the buying was done IN 1853 his Cal
fornia establishment was burned by
the big fire of that year. He turned
his attention to specialties Immediate
ly after this and continued in this bus
iness until 1862, when he returned to
New York. He next became interested
in the production of oil. He was Di-
rector and Chairman of the Columbia
Oil company of Oil City, Pa. This led
him into the business of shipping and
exporting oil to Europe, in which busi-
ness he was also pioneer. He then
took up tramway enterprises in Eng
land, He retired from business about
.wenty-three years ago. He still own
ed, however, large coal property in
West Virginia, which had not been
worked because of its distance from

SAYS nE,s DEAD nd. woRLp.
Herman Jnesche Develops n Peculiar
Form OF Religious In
sanity.

Church circles in South Chicago, ILL.,,
are excited over queer phase or re-
ligious insanity which has developed in
that place. incidentally the question
arises whether an insurance company
is obliged 10 pay a life policy on man
spiritually dead TO the world"
Herman Jaesche, a plasterer, resid-
ing at 1054S Avenue NJ, believes he has
reached that degree of spiritual perfec-
tion which is referred 10 in the Scrip
lures as being dead TO the world"
Jaesche declares himself to be without
sin. This declaration fellow members
of the church TO which he belonged ac-
cepted with mild protests, but when
the plasterer declared later on that he
had been freed from all impurities and
was now Divine, the church became too
warm for him. Accordingly Jaesche
joined another church where, it is said,
his hallucinations were given free rein.
Jaesche holds life insurance policy
for $1,000 in the Mutual Benefit associa-
tion of the German Baptists. On the
hypothesis that he was dead to the
world Jaesche believed himself entitled
to this money. He therefore wrote to
the western Office Of the association at
Dillon, Kan, stating that he was dead
and wanted the policy paid. To this
letter Jacsche signed his wife's name.
lie also secured the attest of his former
pastor. Rev. G.. Il. Thieman. The insur-
ance company forwarded death cer-
tificate TO be signed by the attending
physician and undertakery TO its agent,
Herman Zimmerman, 10332 Avenue l.,
Zimmerman, knowing Jaeschc was
alive, was dumfounded upon receipt OF
the communication.
The affair has created a sensation in
South Chicago. The fact that a clergy
man in good standing should have at
tested Jaesche's death eXcites much un-
favorable comment. DR.. Thieman eX-
planned the matter by saying that he
signed the letter us Il joke 10 humor O
man he regarded as dementcd. He had
