Will General Wheeler Marry Mrs.
ChiIdS2

Philadelphia, Mar 12.-N is reported
that General Joseph Wheeler is to
marry Mrs. George w. Childs. The
following dispatch from asource sup
posed to be trustworthy, was received
today from Washington:
"On the retirement of General JOS
eph Wheeler from the volunteer SER
vice of the army, comes a much more
surprising and interesting piece of
news. 1t is nothing less than an au-
thentic statement that Mrs. George

Usher of the Philadelphia Ledger, has
promised her hand to General Wheeler
The contracting parties, it is reported,
have arranged to make a public an

Sunday, by which time the hero of
two wars will have be3n mustered out
of the volunteer service of the United
States. General Wheeler has been
paying marked attention to Mrs.

Ohio as a College State.

Some seventeen colleges are repre-
scented at the Delaware convention of
the presidents and deans of Ohio col
leges. This is n large number of col
leges for one state, but as a matter of
fact the colleges represented at Della
wars comprise hardly half of the entire
number of colleges large and small, in
Ohio The Buckeye state is known
everywhere as the state with more col
leges in it than any other state in the
union.
1T has long been an interesting and
rs still perhaps an unsettled question,
whelher 1T is better for the average
educational interests of state to have
great number of smaller colleges or
one big central institution. One ad
vantage claimed for smaller institu
tions is that the students are brought
Into closer touch with the professors
and with the various departments and
thus get special advantage from per-
sonal instruction. The great advant-
age of the larger institution, of course,
lies in its larger faculty of specialists
and h,s superior laboratory facilities,
etc.
OF course, it is the character of the
student rather than tine size of the col
lege that largely determines how sue
cessful education shall be. A good
student at small college will un-
Idoubtedly learn more and accomplish
more than a poor student at a large
college. This has been proven true
so often as to become an aphorism.
Ohio, however lat the present time is
peculiarly fortunate in the fact that it
has big. central university here as
well as a large number of smaller in
stitutions. This university, moreover,
is making good use of, and demon
strating the value of, every advantage
which its size gives it. This is shown
in its very active faculty and likewise
in the facilities in every department.
The extent of the faculty may be judg-
ed from the fact that there were some
forty heads of departments at the ban
quet given last evening in honor of DR..
Orton. There were heads of depart
ments, in fact, with no tutors or under
instructors to enlarge the number.
That means a big institution.
And as its faculty and facilities in
crease and the quality 'of it's instruc-
tion goes higher and higher while
broadening out at the same time in
quantity, the young men and women
of Ohio who want higher education
that is in fact higher education, must
realize that 1t is not necessary to go
out of Ohio to get ut. 1t lis at their ser
vice here in Columbus. And, more
over, it is becoming closely identified
with, and such an integral part OF, 1.-The
public school system of the state as to
make the stepping from high school
to university an easy and natural one.
Ohio, therefore, having obtained the
reputation of being state of many
colleges, is adding to IL the reputation
of also being a state that has a big col
lege which promises to hold her own
wit hany college in the country-Co-
lumbus Dispatch.

The Deputy State Board OF Super
wilson's of Elections awarded the Mari
eta Register Co. the contract for
printing the ballots for the coming
election at their bid of $40, which, by
the way, they failed to enclose with
the bond.-Leader
The Leader is rather far fetched in
its claim that the Register Co. failed to
enclose a bid The law requires that
bidders give bond for twice the
amount of their bid. We gave bond
for $4,000, making our bid $4,000, of
course. We did not put in another
separate bid. But to Mr.. Cooke after
the bids were deposited and before
they were opened, we stated our bid
was $4,000 and found his to be $1,000,
which carried with it some nice
cream" that he is naturally loath to
give up.-Register.
If Cooke remembers rightly, before
he. entered the lists as a :tAdder for the
county election tickets the jobs were
secured regularly by an only bidder
one Mr.. Alderman-for prices ranging
above a hundred dollars. Tut-tut,
don't mention cream neighbor! There
are others who like it-and by-the-by,
does Mr. Alderman remember of say
ing after the bids were in hand how
the job should bring one hundred dol
lars?
Competition, since the Leader has
been in with bids, has greatly reduced
the prices, althoug the bdllots for the
Fall elections have been vastly larger.

low cen was celebrated here by the
Washington and Jefferson students
firing the big college grandstand at
| o'clock a. m. The students, sew
eral hundred strong, marched to the
grounds, and some parties were de
tailed to place the match while 9th
ers guarded the gates. In a few
minutes the grandstand was wrap
ped in flames
The town was aroused by the fire
alarm sounding, and the volunteer
fire company responded. The fire
was then well under way, but was
extinguished, though the strnf gre
was almost completely burned.
The fire caused great excitement.
The college authorities with armed
men patrolled the college buildings
on the campus, but il is not likely
any more destruction will be done.
No arrests were made, and the
borough police did not interfere on
the college grounds

Coal Companies will Combine.

Efforts are being made to consoli-
date the two big coal combines, the
Pittsburg Coal Company and the
Monongahela River Consolidated Coal
and Coke Company. Negotiations
looking to the combination OF all the
coal properties of the Pittsburg dis
trict have been under way for many
months. The formation of the two
companies named resulted in the fail
ure of the original scheme, but the
promoters have never abandoned their
idea of bringing every mine and prop
erty under control of one company.
The most prominent coal men in the
district are known to favor such a
combine, and claim that it will some
day be formed. They do not hope,
however, to make much Roadway for
some time, probably a year at least.
In the meantime the coal business of
the district will be controlled by the
river and rail combines.

HALLOWEEN FESTIVITIES.
Pleasant Social Events that took
Place Tuesday Night.

q. Lazzelle is at Home Miss Olive
Pierce Receives a Number OF Her
Friends Informal Celebration OF the
Mystic Time by Number Of our
! Friends.
Miss Olive Pierce entertained a
number OF her young friends at the
Peabody on Tuesday evening. Music
was furnished by several members of
the Hartigan orchestra. The affair was
! very pleasant one and the guests
went home regretting that the flying
hours brought the occasion to a close
as soon as they did.
A party of bright little girls made
a great deal OF amusement at num-
Der OF places in town last evening.
They were painted in the most artis-
tic style with burnt cork and dressed
in grotesque costumes, some with red
turbans and other appropriate para
phernalia making typical Topsies of
themselves. Their appearance and
clever acting made many an amusing
scene.
Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Lazzelle
was hostess to a Halloween party.
The decorations were of autumn
leaves. and ivy, ferns and ehrysan-
themums, beautiful pumpkin
holding the place of honor. In Il
game of wits, Mrs. Ellenberger and
Mrs. Rogers won the prizes. Mrs.
Lazzelfe always entertains charm
ingly and never fails to have some
pleasant bit of surprise in waiting
for her guests.
Among the notable Hallow cen
entertainment was that given by
Mrs. j. M. Reed to her mountain
party, and few other friends. She
was assisted by Miss Ella Reed and
Mrs. Will Reed. The careful fore
thought. shown by the hostess in
providing entertainment for all and
having everything appropriate to the
season was skillful The evening
was spent delightfully."-. Everyone
entered into the spirit of the occas-
ion and gave themselves to merry
making. Refreshments were served
at $3.50, fortunes were told and
greatamounto of humorous speculation
given as to the fate of some of the
eligible members of the party. The
most amusing feature was the three
witches in pantomine telling each
ones fortune on a written card. The
closing act was cutting the cake of
fortune which contained key,
piece of money, ring, pen, a thin
BILE and button. Each guest cut
slice and the article contained in
the piece indicated the fate of the
one who got it. The key denoting
good luck was taken by Miss Ger
trude Hayes, the thimble denoting
industry by Mr.. Oscar Campbell,
the button by Miss Allie Bowers,
the pen for fame j. Z. Fleming, the
ring indicating matrimony by Mrs.
Poster, the money for riches by
Mrs. Steele Notwithstanding the
Indictment evening nearly all the in
vitations were accepted and more
pleasant occasion could not have
been provided.

HEALTHY CONDITION
or Crops Indicated by Reports From
Different Counties.

The monthly crop and stock report
for October, issued by the secretary OF
the state board of agriculture, is out.
Summing up the conditions prevailing
IL says:
''Reports indicate healthy conditions
throughout the State notwithstand-
ing the protracted dry weather which
has been SO generally wide spread.
The acreage of wheat sown seems To
be fair average, and the conditions
are pretty generally favorable. The
corn crop has suffered more perhaps
than any other crop, and while the
yield and quantity will average about
60 per cent, most Of the farmers will
have sufficient to feed through the
winter. Stock Of all kinds are report
ed in most cases to be In a healthy
condition and In good demand at In
creased prices. The apple crop varies
considerably. The reports seem to
Indicate that this variance is due
more largely to insect pests than to
climate or local conditions"

Output of the KIondyke.

No one will ever know exactly how
much gold was taken from the Klon-
dyke fields the past season. The esti-
mate ranges from $40, 900, 900 to $685.
900, 900. Since the English govern
ment imposed royalty of 10 per cent.
the miners have adopted all sorts of
ruses to evade the law. 1t is rather
difficult operation to dodge taxes,
but it is more difficult still to dodge a
bad cold and the grip at this time of
year. When the system is weakened
by such attacks, and the blood be-
comes thin and impoverished, the
best medicine to take is Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. This remedy builds
up the system. Besides regulating
digestion, it overcomes constipation
in perfectly natural way. 1t is good
for the kidneys and liver, too, stimu-
lating each of these organs into the
proper performance of their functions
