DREYFUS, who is now having a re-
trial at Rennes, France, was captain in
the French army. He was tried, con-
demned, and mustered out in disgrace,
in 1894, on a charge of having secretly
conveyed information to officers of the
German government, relative to French
forts, maneuvers, arms, mines, etc.
He was sentenced to imprisonment for
life and conveyed to DEVILS Island, on
the west coast of Africa, where he was
to remain in solitary confinement. A
year or more after his sentence one
captain Henry committed suicide in
prison, who was said to have confessed
that there was conspiracy against
Dreyfus in the French army, and that
he had assisted in forging documents
to prove Dreyfus guilty on his first
trial. Prominent lawyers and states
men took up the cause of Dreyfus and
secured an order from the Court of
Cessation granting a new trial. This
is now going on. The army and friends

against Dreyfus, and it is claimed that
the Catholic element of the population
is also bitter against him because he is
Jew. His trial at Rennes, an isolated
town in southwest France, instead
of at Paris, was ordered to prevent a
popular outbreak, or undue influence
on the court. An attempt was made
last week to assassinate Dreyfus' lead
ing attorney. He was shot down in
street and robbed of important papers,
but it is believed he will be able to
take part in the trial again some time
this week. The trial does not seem 9
fair one; many of the witnesses being
deeply prejudiced and influenced
against Dreyfus. The opinion is freely
expressed that he will again be found
guilty, but his friends and attorney.
hope for a more favorable result. The
bearing of Dreyfus during the tria
has been that of an innocent man.

Many travelling men ask us why we
sacrifice goods so at the end of the sea-
son. It's question somewhat hard to
answer. We do it at our own loss. It's
to the advantage of the ladies of this
county. You used to pay full price all
the year round and have the same goods
shown to you year after year. Buy
them or leave town for new goods. We
don't do business that way. Sell out
clean every season no matter what the
loss. Open out next season with fresh
new goods. That's what we are doing,
and to morrow you will have the last
chance. Don't delay. It's dollars to
you for quarters. Before the week is
over we doubt if you will find a yard of
Summer goods in our store.

OIL AND GAS NEWS.

About two years ago a company was
formed to sink well at Roundhead
which proved to be very good gas
well, and about six months there
after another was sunk; but when at q
depth of nearly 1,450 feet sand was
struck, in which the tools were lost.
After vain attempt to regain the lost
tools, the project was given up, and
soon thereafter some differences arose
among the members of the company,
preventing the sinking Of contem-
plated third well. Matters drifted
along, gradually adjusting themselves,
until about two weeks ago, when DR..
Huntley, Of Lima, one of the company,
purchased the old well for 500, hoping
to be able to draw the casing and
realize something on the purchase,
but his gains have very greatly exceed
ed his most sanguine expectations.
He sent men to Roundhead to draw
the casing and on Tuesday last, after
the casing had been drawn for a dis
tance, grade of oil, known only in the
West Virginia fields, rapidly filed the
well to within less than feet of the
surface. On Thursday four barrels OF
oil were dipped from this well as
rapidly as it could be done and the oil
was not perceptibly lowered. Enthu-
siasm runs high at Roundhead and
every effort is being made to lease all
the land thereabout. Oil men say that
there are are rich prospects for Round
head as the oil is of such a superior
quality. it being much thicker and
much more clear than the Lima OIL

Jones, of Toledo will be an independent
candidate for governor. Over 1900
voters have signed petitions in COM
pliance with the election law, which
will give him position on the ballot,
without,calling convention. He will
probably receive the nomination OF
the Union Reform party which casts
some 10, 900 votes in the state. AS the
advocate of municipal franchises and
the Golden Rule in politics he will Sc
cure large following. Whether he
will draw more largely from the Re-
publican or Democratic party depends
in a great measure on whom the Dem

DANGER!
The Fearfnl Bubonic Plague Has APP
peared In Portugal.

The terrible bubonic plague that has
swept away so many thousands in India,
has appeared in Portugal. There have
been number of cases and deaths at
Oporto and Lisbon. Spain, France and
other countries have quarantined
against Portugal, and very rigid quar-
antine should be obtained. One vessel
may bring to our shores single case
from which the plague would be spread
throughout the country. Lock the door
against the Portuguese and all the
other geese who go there.
