There seems to be the mistaken
idea prevalent in some sections
Aat alter the 2Sth of this month,
Cherokee citizens will be allowed
70 60 inside the Enclosures of other
citizens and take allotments.
That would be serious error in
deed, and would certainly give the
party undertaking it trouble. The
Curtis law does not grant any such
Awless principles.

BATTLE OF TRENTON.

On Christmas day in seventy-six
Our ragged troops, with bayorets fixed,
For Trenton marched away.
The Delaware see, the boats below,
The light obscured by hail and snow
But no signs of disinay.
Our object was the Hessian band,
That dared invade fair freedoms S land
And quarter in that place.
Great Washington he led us on,
Whose streaming flag in storm or sun
Had never known disgrace.
In silent march we passed the night,
Each soldier painting for the fight,
Though quite benumbed with frost,
Greene on the left at six began.
The right was led by Sullivan
Who ne'er moment lost
Their piclkets stormed, the alarm wal
spread
That rebels risen from the dead
We're marching into town.
Some scanpered here, some scampered
there,
And some for action did prepare,
But soon their arms laid down.
Twelve hundred servile miscreants,
With all their colors, guns and tents,
We're trophies of the day.
The frolic DER, the bright canteen
In center, front and rear was seen
Driving fatigue away.
Now, brothers Of the patriot bands,
Let's sing deliverance from the hands
OF arbitrary sway,
And as our life is but span
Let's touch the tankard while we can
In memory of that day. t

linCoIn's Pure English,

A copy of the following letter of
Abraham Lincoln, written to a Mrs.
Bixby, of Boston, has been engrossed
and framed and hung in one of the
Oxford University (England) halls, as
"a specimen OF the purest English and
most elegant diction extant."
Dear Madam-I have been shown in
the files of the War Department a
statement of the Adjutant General of
Massachusetts,, that you are the moth
er of five sons who have died glorious
ly on the battle field. feel how weak
and fruitless must be any words of
mine which should attempt to beguile
you from the grief of loss so over
whelming.
But cannot refrain from rendering
to you the consolation that may be
found in the thanks of the Republic
they died to save. l pray that our
Heavenly Father may assuage the an
guish OF your bereavement, and leave
you only the cherished memory of the
loved and lost, and the solemn pride
that must be yours to have laid so
costly a sacrifice upon the altar OF
freedom. Very respectfully yours,
ABRAHAM LINCOLN"

In a Prosperous Condition.

The Morton tin plate works of this
city has been idle since Saturday on
account of breakdown at theBellaire
steel plant which occurred last week.
The latter plant furnishes the Morton
plant with sheet bar, and all their
stock of bars on hand was exhausted
last Saturday, just when the break at
Bellaire occurred. But the Bellaire
mill resumed operations yesterday,
and Mr.. Beckett informed us that the
Morton mill would begin work this af-
ternoon or tonight, or just as soon as
they were notified that bar iron could
be furnished them to insure a steady
run.
The new mills which have been erect
ed within the past year, will also begin
operation probably within the next
week, or as soon as some needed steam
connections are furnished by the Mari
eta boiler works. The new mills
would have been at work before this
but for the fact that the Marietta peo-
pie made a mistake in the size of the
steam fixtures wanted.
Mr.. Beckett also requested us to say
to the people that the report circulated
that the Morton mill would be idle un-
til June next is erroneous, and that
never before in the history of the
plant were there more orders booked
ahead than now. The outlook for a
steady run during the year is brighten
ing every day, and those of our kick
ers" who are in Cne habit of circulat-
ing such false reports should be set
down upon. The Morton plant is all
right and can find a ready market for
its product.-Cambridge Sun.

Chanee of Wording.

Representative Grosvenor, who is a
member Of the Ways and Means Com
mfttee, to which was referred the bill
authorizing the appropriation of $780,
900 for a Government exhibit at the
Ohio Centennial and North western
Territory Exposition to be held in 1902
or 1908, Tuesday introduced in the
House substitute bill to the one re-
ferred to, which was agreed upon by
the Ohio delegation. The substitute
bill reads ito encourage" INSTEAD of
ito authorize"
There is no doubt but that the bill
win eventually pass the house without
opposition. as the language of the bill
conforms to the bill for an appropria-
tion OF 100000 for Bufalo's EXPOSE
tion. which has already been favor
ably reported. the passage OF which is
guaranteed.

Hanna Remains Neutral.

There is no truth whatever in the re-
port sent out from Columbus that
Senator Hanna has decided to drop
General Grosvenor as a candidate and
take up Judge Nash" In the first
place, to say that Senator Hanna has
decided to drop General Grosvenor
would imply that he had at some time
taken up the General as a candidate, and
for that no foundation whatever ex-
lists. As a matter of fact, General
Grosvenor still insists he has mo can
didacy for Governor" What Mr.
Hanna may decide to do at some later
date only himself knows. Those Ohio
Republicans in Washington who enjoy
his fullest confidence insist that the
Senator up to this time has absolutely
no candidate for Governor.
In this correspondence it previously
has been stated that for Judge Nash
Mr.. Hanna has the kindliest feeling
and the highest respect. But he has
not told Judge Nash, or anybody else,
I am trustworthy informed, that he
will favor Judge Nash's candidacy to
the exclusion of all others. Neither
has Mr.. Hanna committed himself to
General Grosvenor, nor did he make
any specific intimation of support to
Colonel Nevin, who was here recently
and who was received with much ia
vor by some of Mr.. Hanna's closest
friends, and enjoyed cordial recep-
tion from the Senator himself.
Thus far Mr.. Hanna has proceeded
upon the assumption, his confidential
friends say, that the Republicans of
Ohio should enjoy their constitutional
rights in selecting their own candidate
for Governor. That he has a personal
preference is not to be doubted. But,
as he has given no expression to it yet,
it is not at all probable he will do so
until after the spring elections, and he
may not do so publicly at all.-Cor

RUM0RED
That the D. R. R. Will Change
0wnarc

Parkersburg, w. Va, Feb. 15.-Gen-
eral Manager Burt, of the Ohio River
railroad, who left here Monday, got
away from Pittsburg for New York
this morning having been snow bound
there. There is fairly well authenti-
Gated rumor that the objective reason
of Mr.. Burt to the metropolis is to be
present at the closing of a deal for the
purchase of the road with which he
is connected by the b. & o. or Penpsyl-
vania roads.
It Is said that the deal is practically
closed and that the transfer will be
made within few days. In the rum
ors about the purchasers, 1t is said
that the b. & o. wants the Ohio River
road so as to block the building OF the
West Virginia Short Line, the pro
posed road from Clarksburg to New
Martinsville, which enterprise the Ohio
River people were backing.
1ne reason advanced for the Penn
sylvania Wishing to purchase it are
that they wish TO retain the excellent
feeder from the south which the Ohio
River has proved to be.
The outer world is rather in the dark
up to date, relative to which Of the two
great corporations named will succeed
in the proprietorship Of the road.
We give the above rumors for what
they are worth as they practically ap-
peared in Pittsburg papers.

The Standard Files Answer to the
Petition Of Attorney General
Monnett.
MOnnett.

Columbus, O., Feb. 14.--Attorney
General Monnett's recent suit in custer
against the Standard Oil Company of
Ohio was answered today by the at
torneys for that company, Messrs.
Kline, Tolles and Carr, of Cleveland,
though the officers of the defendant
company refuses to verify the answer
AS stated In THE papers filed today with
the Supreme Court the officers of the
company feared that IL they should
verify the answer and admit the truth
of certain of the allegations of Attor-
ney General Monnett's suit they might
thereby be subjected to criminal Or
penal prosecution.
The answer of the Standard holds.
/. That the acts complained of as
reason why the charter of thu company
should be forfeited were committed
more than five years prior to the filing
of the petition, and that this cause of
action Is thereby barred.
2. They allege that the Valentine
Stewart antitrust law of April 1898,
is unconstitutional, inasmuch as 1t Is In
violation of Article |, Section l. Of the
Constitution OF Ohio, inasmuch as Il
deprlves persons of liberty and of ac-
quirlng, possessing and protecting
property, and of Article l., Section 16,
because 1t deprives persons of property
without due remedy at law.
g. 1t ls held that the law Is uDcon-
stitutlonal, and in violation of Article
1, Section 0, because 1t Is a retroactive
law.
4. 1t Is in violation Of Section 1, Of
the Fourteenth Amendment of the
United States, as it abridges the priv
ileges and immunities of citizens of the
United States.
5. 1t is held in violation of article
/, Section s, Constitution of the United
States, because it attempts to regulate
commerce between me several states.
6. In violation of Article /, Section
16, Constitution of the United States,
because it is an ex post facto law, and
attempts to impair the validity of con-
| tracts

friends of the administration on the
Western Coast would have an oppor-

was anxious TO get to the coast and
later his secretary said he had prepar-
ed an itinerary for the President, which
would includeta trip to the entire Pa

Col. Boone and His Black Diamond
system,

Colonel Albert E. Boone, of zanes-
willie. Ohio, protector of the Black Dia-
mond Railroad System, is at the Grand
on his way to Indiana. Asked about
the status Of the Black Diamond the
Colonel said:
You may state, upon my authority,
that work will be commenced on the
Indiana Division of the Black Diamond
System the first week in May, and it
will be pushed right along to compile
tlon. There are over three bundled
miles in that division. We have Sc
cured sufficient American capital in
New York to put this part of the en-
terprise through. If the English peo-
pie with whom we have been negotiat-
ing, and who have first say do not
start in on the first of May, the New
York capitalists will begin breaking
dirt the second day of that month. Sir
Thomas S. Tancred; the English en-
gineer who inspected the entire sur
Veys OF the system last fall, is very
much interested in the route from
Columbus, Ohio, to the sea at Port
Royal, s. c., and is enllsting London
capital in the enterprise, and we ex-
pect him over again in May. 1t is his
idea that the route from Columbus
should be the trunk line, and should
be built first, while l am inclined to
the construction of the route from In
dianapolls first. IL the Indiana route
is to be built by American capitalists
and that from Columbus by English
money, they will probably be con.
structed simultaneously and unite al

carrying the system on straight to the

Ryan May Shy His Caster Into the
Ring.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 14.-Ex-Sec-
retary of State Daniel j. Ryan came
in last night with the storm and is
quartered at the Normandy. He is
saying little as to the nature of his
mission, but those of the Ohio contin-
gent who are giving serious thought to
the gubernatorial situation profess to
believe that Ryan has something up
his sleeve. Said one of the Ohio repre-
sentatiyes who has a keen insight of
affairs:
Ryan is candidate for Governor
under certain conditions, and his visit
her is to foster these conditions. In
other words, me is trying to get the in
dorsement of the administration and
the Ohio leaders in Congress-. 1t is
well known that Mr.. Daugherty was
not entirely successful in this line
when he paid the national capital a
visit recently. Now comes Ryan to
try his luck, and think there is some
understanding between him and
Daugherty that in the event of his get
ting the backingaef tne administration
the latter will Withdraw from the race
in his favor. / nave not heard this
from Ryan's lips, but l think there is
much truth in it,"
This is an unusual opinion and the
first intimatlon heard here that
Daugherty might withdraw in favor of
a personal friend who gets the admins
tration support. Ryan, however, so
far as can be learned, is not giving
this imnrpssion

the offenders.
The Chief of Police lid the best he
could. He issued the following notice:

Oil Notes.
Yesterdays MARKET. I.

The following notes have been fur

down a we'll on the Mcfarland farm on
the ridge between Burning Springs and
Nettle Run. We understand that Ell

George Maly has recently drilled in
two very fine producers in the shallow
sand on his lease on Chestnut Run.
Henry Wheaton has leased the
Shuch farm north of Burning Springs
with the intention of drilling several
wells in the spring.
Roberts Bros expect to resume op-
eratlons on their lease as soon as the
weather breaks. They will drill a
number of new wells this year.
The new we'll on the Moore farm
across the river from here has settled
down to about thirty barrels day
Sentinel
The cold weather continues to hold
back operations in the oil fields. Wells
that were due last week have been de-
layed and will not be drilled in before
the first OF next week, even though the
weather should moderate. Many of
the creeks and small streams that sup
piled the drilling wells with water
have been frozen to the bottom and the
wells have to remain shut down until
there Is thawout.
Scio has been hit hardest of any of
the lower Southwest fields, but Wood,
Ritchie and Pleasants counties have
had serious trouble. Washington
county, Ohio, has had 10 shut. down
