presented at the present time and It y
claimed that the lucky man will win
from some other district. Mr.. Gray
was defeated for the nomination at the
other primary, but he claims to have
gained strength and will be able to
carry off the plum. T. G. Pipes, OF
Cameron. is also in the race and is OF
the opinion that his town should be fa-
vored at this next election. DR.. M. A.
Bowler is also a strong candidate, as IS
also J. x. Chase and DR.. S. NJ. Steele
The other candidates have net dlstln-
guished themselves so far. u IN Inc
course of a few months will be out
hustling with the rest of them. In case
there is a big fight made at the cleo
ton the democracy will have a splen-
did chance of winning.
For House of Delegates about the
only person mentioned in the county
as a candidate is Squire H. d. Matthews
of Liberty district. Mr.. Legge Will
probably be a candidate for reelection,
but with Mr.. Nixon it is out OF the
question. His health would not permit
him to make the race.
The two assessorships will also re-
ceive due consideration and 1t seems
as though there are more candidates
this time than even before. Both the
present assessors will be in the race,
and will make a hard fight for re-
election. John Rosebery, of Benwood,
has held the office for eight years and
wants a third term. There are other
good men, among whom are Nelson
Jones. Jesse MARBLE, T. McGruder and
Joseph Drum. For the second district
are G.. w. Berry, John Chapman and
Sam Burton. There is good material In
the list, who. can make it interesting
for all concerned.
For prosecuting attorney it is not
known exactly who will enter the race
as yet. The names of a. l.. Hooton and
S. B. Blair have been mentioned in con-
nection with the Office, but neither one
have said whether they will make the
race or not.
The coming week, however, Will be a
busy one with the politicians. Inc
County Fair holds forth three days, and
every candidate will be in attendance
looking up his chances.
There is one thing certain, however,
and that is the county viii not give
such a large Republican majority at the
next election. The Republicans are
having their eyes opened in the way
they have been used by the big men
like Scott and Elkins, and the soft soap
they have been furnishing Will not go
down so easily the next time. Ihey are
tired of being promised something that
never materialiZes.

THOUGHT HE WAS THE AUTHOR.

Sir Henry Irving has received from the
University of Glasgow his third academic
degree. Trinity college, Dublin, was the
first university to bestow upon the leading
actor of the generation the distinction of
being a scholar and a man Of letters as
well as d player. Cambridge confirmed his
title last year as a doctor of literature.
and the most practical and scientific Scotch
universities has gone a step further and
made him a doctor of laws.
While a scholar and a man of fine liter
airy taste, Sir Henry hardly deserves a trib-
ute he overheard last summer. He ocu-
pied apartments at Berunemouth for sew
eral days, where he was known to the land
lord as plain Mr.. Irving. Returning from
a stroll on the last day of his stay, he
arrived at the landing outside of his door
in time to hear the landlady say: Eyes,
he's a literary chap. / never read any of
his books. but I've seen lots of them on the
stalls. One of them is a sort of history,
'Bracebridge Hail. I don't know just
where it is. but L rather think it's in the

OIL NEWS.

HARRISBURG, w. Va, September
9.-Oil development creeps nearer and
nearer this city. ]. P. Martin, OF KEN
ia. Ohio, who leased the territory
around Adamston, and located a well
on the j. Fl. Mines farm, two miles
from this city, has also secured leases
on the Irwin Stealey farm, but hall a
mile from the corporate limits, n yes
terday made a location. The j. II.
Mines well at Adamst0n is drilling.
The rigging for the Stealey well is to
be put on the grounds at once.
1t is rumored that the J.. Fl. Mines
we'll will not be drilled in because OF
the bad faith exhibited by some OF the
farmers toward Mr.. Martin, to whom it
seems they promised to lease their
lands. The South Penn, however, COB
bled them UP on the three months
term. promising to drill a we'll within
that time. Mr.. Martin has gone ahead
and shown good faith in his dealings
at Adamston, and now the people who
leased to the South Penn are sick OF
their job, and only delayed the good
work just three months, when the
South Penn leases expire. They Will
lease to Mr.. Martin then. In the
meantime work on the J. II. Mines we'll
will be discontinued.

Payne field came in this week, the for

SCIO, Ohio, September 9.-This field

ton and new operation goes. f. N.
Donaldson's No. 9, Fisher farm, is now
known to be good for Is barrels. Ten

Hogue's No. AZ is a Is barrel well;
No. 26 Whitaker is a 20 barrel we'll.
The wells on the Merriek and Price
| farms at Leesville are showing some
oil but not enough probably to justify
pumping. The Lawson well near Rid
| myers in Columbiana county is a fair
producer.
In wildcat territory near Minerva a

The only opposition to the scheme
has been on the part of some of the
general officers of the Cuban army,
who, unlike Cincinnatus, have no de-

tasted the fruits of military com.

the prosaic duties OF civil life.

MUSTERED OUT.

The enemy's flags are trailing,
His ships sunk in the bays;
The sound Of people wailing,
Is changed to a song Of praise;
For men have fought and women
wept,
Till joy has taken the place of doubt,
The promise made will now be kept,
And the boys be mustered out.
But fond hearts still are bleeding
The absent yet delay;
For Avarice, Ignorance leading,
Has taken the field today.
Over the oceans glitter and foam,
Our sentinel guards with courage
stout,
Till a bullet ends his dream of home,
And one of the boys is mustered out.
Where the suns fierce rays are burn
ing
That isle of tropic birth,
The fever hand is turning
The dank and steaming earth.
Lying within the close, hot tent,
Painting, or with delirious shout,
Some ones beloved's last hours are
spent,
And another lad is mustered out.
The Pasig river is signing
Ger the blood that stains it's bank;
For the brave young soldiers dying
Mid Luzon's foliage rank.
Cheering their colors, they fight and
fall
Along the rebel route;
Death tells each name at his own roll
call,
AS our boys are mustered out.

Kirkwood Called Down by the County
Commissioners.
The county commissioners and County
Attorney Connolly yesterday came to
conclusion to put an end to the methods
of w. +. kirkwood, a Meaderville jus
tice of the peace. who has for a long time
been running an independent sort of a
justice shop and has been trying state
cases and deciding them without the
knowledge or consent of the county attor-
ney and sending in bills to the county for
his fees. The commissioners examined one
OF his monthly fee bills yesterday and
found a number of charges that required
explanation. The bill was referred to Mr.
Connolly and he said he knew nothing
about the cases in which the charges had
been made, and advised the commission
ers not to pay them. One instance of the
character of charges was that one man
had been arrested and tried twice on the
same day for vagrancy. Mr.. Connolly
said he did not expect to be consulted in
vasrancy cases, but he would insist on
being consulted before justices of the
peace issue complaints in more serious
cases, SO that he may look into them
and determine whether there is merit in
them or not before putting the county to
the expense of a trial. kirkwood was no.
titled that he would not be allowed fees in
any future cases unless 1t appeared that
the actions were properly brought and
with the approval of the county attorney.
