Good Lick of a Marietta Man.

Denver, Col, Aug. 2O.-H Smith, of
Marietta, Ohio, has spent ~ years of
his life looking for a lead on the west
slope Of Pomeroy Mountain, in Chaffee
county, which he has been satisfied ex-
lists there, and last week he found it..
The result has been beyond his expec-
tauons. He has uncovered 1900 feet
of the lead withln IS inches of the
surface and assays along the length of
the vein run from $16 to 165 ounces in
gold. Mr.. Smith is satisfied he hasa
good thing and no one has been found
to dispute him.
Specimens of the ore show it to be
one of the best things found in that
section of Colorado for years. Mr..
Smith was in town yesterday on his
way home. While here he tried to
make arrangements with the smelters
for the treatment of his ore, but
found that they could not receive his
ore until after next week, when they
will smelt the ore free of charge and
pay bonus.

Miss Thomas Entertains,

About thirty friends of Miss Maud
Thomas gathered at her home on
Fourth street last evening at her lnvi-
ta..on, in honor of Mrs. Durrant and
Miss Fickey, both OF Columbus, and
guests of Mrs. w B. Gaitree, Third
street.
A feature of the evening was a
character party" wherein each guest,
unknown to himself, had a name of
some noted person in history or fiction
and he or she had to guess his or her
lLenty by taking cues from conversa-
tion relative to the character. This
pastime was very amusing, and PROV
ed pleasant source of entertainment
After this event diversion of a
very novel nature was offered by the
introduction of Anil Pasha, the pro-
phet and seer, who read with a great
deal Of care the fortunes and dlsposi-
tions Of those present by palm and
cards
Punch was served during the even
ing, and after the interesting reign of
the fortune teller, dainty refreshments
were served.

A Big Sale.

A sale of oil producing property in

found in the Keener sand and after
drilling number of wells he sold out
to ~. p. Hue & Co for $4,000 The
price at the time was thought to be
very good, but the new owners were
satisfied with their bargain and began
developing the property which consist

the property last November, and de-
veloping it in conservative way in
creased its production to about 225
barrels day net. The same property
was sold yesterday to c. b. Shafer for
100000. Mr. Shafer is practical OPP

values pertaining to oil property. Mr.
Shafer is at the head of the Allegheny
Oil Company, and was one of the first

HARPER
interviewed at Morgan County Jail
Bv a Leader Reporter,
GETTING NERVOUS AND SHAKY
Attorneys For Both sides Busy Hunting
Evidence

Miles Harper, the man who killed
Valentine Clark at Chesterhill two
weeks ago, was interviewed in his cell
OFT the Morgan county Jail yesterday
morning by a representative of the
Leader He has been in confinement
there since the Thursday following
the shooting, and he is becoming very
nervous and melancholy already. AT
times during the interview he would
drop the subject and his conversation
woura become childish and confused
for a short time, when he would sud
denly begin talking of the affair again.
He is downcast and moody by spells,
and Deputy Sheriff Wells says it is
growing on him every day.
After telling the story of the affair
as detailed in the Leader two weeks
ago, Harper said:
They are trying to make this out a
coneocted scheme between me and my
wife, but neither one of them (Clar,;
or Mrs. Harper) knew was anywhere
near at the time That woman would
never have allowed him in the house if
she had known l was within ten miles
of there"
Here he grew quiet and Thoughtful
for awhile and then resumed:
"Oh, they'll fix up thousand and
one lies about it, and l expect they'll
land me in prison, but l couldn't do
anything else under the circum-
stances"
When asked as to whether he
thought he would get fair trial or
not in the county lie replied tnat he
thought he would, but that he expect
ed to get a term in the pen.
MIR Clark, of Mcdonald, Pa, a
brother of the murdered man, has re-
turned to his home after seeing that
everything was under headway to pro-
secute Harper He said that he want
ed Harper to have fair show. Barry

Stop Slandering.

The person who stops to listen to
every idle rumor, bit of gossip or
slanderous tale, will lose half the
valuable time of life. 1t is far better
to do right and pay no attention
whatever to the idle people. In most
cases they are not believed by people
whose good opinion is worth seeking,
and the gossip is a dead weight for
any one to carry. A correct life does
more to rob slanderers of employ
ment than lawsuits or shotguns, for
if the character is above reproach,
the truth may be more damaging
than falsehood. The busybody is a
moral fiction, for the body busy has
no time to engage in work that
brings such small returns. The
most heartily despised person on
earth is the chronic disturber of
human happiness, whether in home,
church, school or state, and so rep
rehensible is the calling that no one
will own it. and its most persistent
followers will deny it with a vche-
mence worthy of better cause. and
condemn it in all others. Hence the
propriety Of ignoring all idle tales
intended to create strife and destroy
happiness and comfort.-Orange Va.

Joke on a Judge.

The latest joke that is told on one
OF our State Judges (and it is all true)
is at the expense of Judge Robinson,
who him self is as fond of joke as
ANYBODY And in order that our
readers may appreciate and under
stand the joke, we would state that
the Latin phrase ''damnum absque
iniuria" is term in law that is used
to designate damage without violation
of any legal right, and gives no cause
of action.
At a recent court, in trial Of a
suit. the defendants attorney asked
the Judge to dismiss it because there
was no legal cause of action. The
Judge did so, and in doing SO said 1t
was a .damnum absque injuria' case.

who heard these words and did not
understand Latin. was greatly
shocked. and going out on the street
declared that that old Roman Cath

THEY CAN'T ATTACK 1T,
The Constitutional Amendment is all
Right.

The New York San is now rabid
Republican paper. 1t has, we think,
correspondent at Raleigh, who
essays to keep it informed on polit-
ical events in this State. We sup
pose the following, which the Raleigh
Post clipped from the SIM, followed by
appropriate comment, is based upon
information furnished by the Raleigh
correspondent:
"Some question has been raised as
to the constitutionality of the propos-
ed amendment to the North Caro-
lima constitution DISTINGUISHING col
ored voters. A careful study Of it
by Republican lawyers is said to dis
close the fact that its provisions do
not contravene the fifteenth amend
ment to the constitution Of the
United States, or abridge the rights
of the black man to vote on account
of race, color or previous condition
of servitude,, but simply establishes
qualification of suffrage. 1t is
pointed out that several hundred
colored men qualified to the suffrage in
North Carolina prior to 1867 will be
protected in their rights under the
proposed amendment, which in this
particular makes no discrimination
and establishes no color line"
The Sun might have added that
there are half dozen or more of the
best Republican lawyers in the State
who do not only believe in the con-
stitutionality of the proposed amend
ment, but have announced that they
will support and vote for it.
They might as we'll try to keep
back the tide with pitchfork as to
nullify this amendment by judicial
process, for there is nothing to base
process on. There is no discrimina-
ton in it on account of race or color,
and no provision in it that applies to
one citizen which does not apply to
all. The talk of contesting it in the
courts is all bluff.-Wilmington Star.

DEWEY AND SCHLEY.
OVATION rendered THE LATTER
IN NEW YORK.
Almost Equal to That OF the Former
Carriage of the Hero of Santiago
Bombarded With Flowers-Thous.
ands of Admirers Greeted Him All
Along the Line.

New YORK, October 3.-Of the
many notable facts in connection
with Saturdays celebration in honor
of Admiral Dewey, the most notable,
perhaps. was the popular enthusiasm
for Schley. Though not present in
his official capacity as an Admiral of
the navy, but merely as distinguish
ed citizen of the country who was in
vited to ride in the procession, just
as many other prominent persons,
the people recognized him and &C
claimed him as the hero of Santiago.
To appreciate the extent and mean
ing Of this great popular demonstra-
ton for Admiral Schley it must be
remembered that he filed no official
place; he occupied position in line
far behind that of Admiral Sampson.
and was only one Of the many aistin-
guished guests of the city. The
naval coterie thought that he had
been buried in obscurty when they
placed Admiral Schley in position
where he could not be even present
in the city officially, and, to make
the act more offensive, sent here as n
representative of the navy captain
who had served under Admiral
Schley in the battle of Santiago.
But the people are and will be with
Admiral Schley from the start.
The scene when Admiral Schley's
carriage reached the reviewing stand
was truly remarkable one. The
people, tired of this discrimination
which has been made against the
hero of Santiago, took as their cue
the action of sailor. who. lodging
past the police lines. ran to the car
riage and tossed large boquet into
Schley's lap.
At this the ladies in stands tore
the flowers from their corsages and
hurled them at the Admiral, while
cries of "Schley! Schley!' rose and
fell in mighty volume OF sound.
He bowed and smiled, but for fully
five minutes the ovation continued.
There were many who thought his
reception was fully as well as that
given Dewey.
1t was a rebuke to the administra-
ton which was unmistakable. In
striking contrast was the reception
accorded Sampson. Scarcely a cheer
greeted his ears as he alighted and
took his place near Dewey.
