HARVEST FESTIVAL

Observed at Three of the Local Churches
Yesterday
At the Zion and First English Evan
gelical Lutheran and First Presbyterian
churches yesterday the annual Harvest
Festival was observed most appropri-
ately At each church the embellish-
ments consisted of fruits, vegetables,
flowers, ported plalSs and pines, form
ing an attractive scene, and the cere-
monies were interesting and impress
sive, being interspersed with rare mus
zeal selections by the choirs. Large
congregations were present at the SER
vices, the event being considered an
important one on the calendar of the
Lutheran church. At the Zion church

Harrison to be cipher in the political
arena in this district. These Repub-
licans complain that they had chance
at the turning point in the convention
TO help make the nomination and share
in the public patronage at the disposal
of a congressman, but they did not, and
allowed the practical politicians of
Monroe and Carroll, who. while they
never get nominations, take advantage
Of opportunities and go home laden
down with promises of public patron
age. They argue that the results would
be the same whether Harrison had at
tended conventions or not in the past
20 years, and that they have cast aside
favors and patronage in being loyal to
their candidate.
Holhngsworth's sticking, however, is
going to bring the judicial nomination
to Harrison, as the Gill people feel that
his sticking and not going elsewhere
enabled them to win, and so they will
favor Harrison. They preferred Hol-
lingsworth, but he does not banker
after judgeship, SO they are forced to
Shotwell.

opened until yesterday. 1t is dated

Ohio Republicans are becoming
greatly worried over what appears TO
be an insurmountable breach in their
party this year and which threatens not
only to defeat their candidate for Gov
ernor, but may keep the party in that
State in the minority for years. Never
has there been such outspoken opposi-
ton to Senator Hanna as can be heard
from the mouths of good Republicans
upon almost any street corner in the
towns across the river at the present
time. The working classes never did
like the Senator for they know his rec
ord toward union labor, but in past
campaigns they have swallowed this
repugnant dose for the sake of candi-
dates whom they did admire and re-
spect. This year, however, conditions
are different. 1t affects no great party
principle if Judge Nash is defeated for
Governor. 1t would simply serve no.
tice upon Hanna that he has dominated
the party long enough and that the rank
and file will stand it no longer The
Ohio air is already full of anti-Hanna
sentiment, and before the campaign
closes it will have become a contagion
and a panic. The outlook is certainly
ominous for Republicans. With the
chief executive of the State boiling his
party nominee for the same office,
national committeeman awaiting an
opportunity to do the same thing and
a United States Senator lukewarm,
there is cause for the bosses to tremble.
1t is evident that the Republican
managers in Ohio consider themselves
in great straits from the unprece-
dented effort that is being made to
hold the party together. Chairman
Dick, while in Washington few days
ago, is reported to have said: Il am
very much afraid we shall lose Ohio this
fall" He thought the boiling of the
ticket by Governor Bushnell the like
lihood of National Committeeman
Chas. Kurtz following suit, and the
ANYTHING but enthusiastic attitude OF
Senator Foraker, were signs
which point almost to certain
defeat. He also pointed out an
other circumstance which he re-
CARDS with dread. That is that near
ly every defeat of the Ohio Republic
cans has occurred the year preceding
the Presidential election and while the
party has been in power in Washing
toni For this he holds disappointed
pension claimants and office seekers
mainly responsible. In addition to
these two disaffected elements Chair
man Dick frankly told the cabinet
members that the conduct of affairs IN
the Philippines and the army scandals,
such as the Eagan and Garter cases,
will cost the party many votes in OHIO
in November

The Democrats of the Sixteenth ONO
congressional district will hold their
convention at Steubenville tomorrow.
Much interest is being taken IN the
meeting, as the chances fer carrying
the district this year are considered
very bright. l.. Spence, of Martin S
Ferry, is most prominently mentioned
in connection with the nomination, but
there are a score of other well known
party leaders in the district who Will
be glad to accept the honor if 1t comes
their way. Judge A. o. Barnes, of
Cadiz, who made a splendid run against
the late Congressman Danford five years
ago. may be the one favored with the
nomination, and ex-Congressman Pear
son, of Monroe county, has been men
toned 1t is evident there will be no
trouble in finding a good man to go up
against ]. J. Gill, who will suffer from
being the favorite of Senator Hanna.
The following from Harrison county
indicates Jefferson and Harrison's wish
to ''kiss and make up" so as to resent
the domination of Belmont county in
the future in Republican congressional
affairs:
Special to the Register.
SCIO, O., September 24.-The COM
mon pleas judgeship in this district is
as good as settled. Harrison county,
through its bar, has selected Walter G.
Shotwell, Esq, as their candidate, and
as the bosses in Jefferson have declar-
CO in favor of a candidate from Harri-
son, Shotwell is as good as nominal
ed. There is some danger that the G.
o. P. in Harrison and Jefferson, who
have been fighting each other for years,
may suffer enlargement of heart since
they have started in the love feast bust
ness. The Republicans of Tuscarawas
do not intend to get the short end OF
the deal without resenting it. They are
entitled TO the unexpired term and if
forces are combined against them there
may be slump IN the vote IN IuScaf-
awas that viii surprise even Hanna.
The convention TO nominate a judge
will be held at Cadiz on the It'll of Dc
tober.
The Republicans of this county are
sore at Hon. d. A Hollingsworth be-
cause of his selfishness in asking the
county to stand by him to. the last,
which they have done in many conven-
TONS always going down with him to
defeat. This time. as usual, dollings-
worth went down and for good, as there
will not be another chance to crafty
mis- ambition in his lifetime. While the
Republicans here mourn with Hollings-
worth, yet they are sore that he allows

THE DEWEY.
Will Soon be a Shipper-Coming into
Fine Looking Rock, Which Gives
Strong Promise of Running
Into Rich Copper Ore.

o. G. Blacken, a prospector,
came down Monday from the new
mining camp, i'll the vicinity of
Brush creek, where the Dewey is
situated, bringing specimens of
the ore now being taken from that
mine. The ole shows considerable
copper pyrites and also strong in
dications of gray copper and has
considerable weight, showing the
presence of some heavy mineral
which all who have seen it believe
to be copper beyond a doubt. They
are now down about 80 feet on the
vein, which is at least eight feet
in width, and in places widens out
to ten feet. Mr.. Blacken saw the
specimens brought down taken
out and in talking with the miners
at work in the shaft found them
all confident that a large body of
rich copper ore might be opened
up with every shot put in. The
owners of the Dewey are pushing
the work of development as rapid
ly as possible with every prospect
of having shipping mine within
the next thirty days.
Mr.. Blacken has located three
claims in that neighborhood which
he believes to be on the same vein
as the Dewey. Specimens from
the groupings on these claims
show strong indications of the
presence of copper, and Mr.. Black
en- believes he has some valuable
properties judging from what he
saw in the Dewey.
The Sun is lead to believe, from
what it has heard expressed of the
Dewey by mining men and ex-
perts, that it will be a valuable
copper mine before the dawn of
the year 1900.

A WAGON ROAD TO CoLUMBINE.
A Matter that Should be Taken up BY
Our People and Pushed to a
Speedy Conclusion.

From Hon. F. A. Williams, a
prominent attorney of Denver,
who is here at this time, and who
is very familiar with that portion
of Colorado Immediately south of
this valley, we learn many inter-
esting things concerning the
building of a road from Colum
bine, Colo, into this valley. Mr..
Williams, who has government
maps, both of Wyoming and Colo
RADIO, demonstrates the feasibility
of the route and the gratifyingly
short distance. He says that from
Columbine to the state line be-
tween Wyoming and Colorado, the
distance is but IA miles and from
the state line to the town of En-
campment it is but Is miles, and
that he is informed by reputable
citizens, both in Columbine and
Saratoga, that a fine wagon road
is already constructed from Col
umbine to the state line, and that
the work of making the road,
which would have to follow the
divide : between the north aud
south forks of Grand Encamp-
ment river, would be a small mat
ter. The easy construction Of this
road has often been pointed out
by j.. G. Kennedy, G. E., who has
written and spoken frequently of
the making of this road since COM
ing here to live, his letters having
been published in The Sun. The
total distance from Columbine tc
Fort Steele would be but II mile:
as against ITO to "A railroad outle'
now.
The construction of this roat
would place this valley in com
munication with a very rich min
, 1899-09-21

ing country, which already has
two or three rich paying mines. 1t
is also a fine stock raising coun-
try, shipping many cattle. and Mr..
Williams is authority fol- the state
ment that 1900 cars of cattle were
shipped from that country and
the adjacent ranges over the Den
yer q Rio Grande road within the
past year. Anthracite coal has al
so been discovered in that country,
which adds another to the many
cogent reasons why we should
make that country tributary to
Carbon county.

prise.

John S. Titcomb, who was in
charge of the proposed Wyoming
Southern railroad, returned to
Denver Monday, all the men hav-
ing been paid off and discharged.
The Denver Times has the follow
ing concerning the enterprise. 1t
says:
"Mr. Titcomb is reticent about
movements of the company, but it
cropped out that the line has been
located to Saratoga, and prelimi-
nary surveys have been made to
the Grand Encampment country,
which will probably be located yet
this fall, and may be extended in
to Routt county. Mr.. Titcomb
will remain in Denver only a day
or two, and then return to the field.
There is no question but what the
company will build into Colorado,
tapping the Bear river country in
the vicinity of Hayden. The last
twelve miles of the survey enter
ing the Grand Encampment coun-
try is over a grade thrown up by
the Union Pacific company some
fourteen or fifteen years ago. 1t
looks as if the Union Pacific is be-
hind the proposition, but cannot
be ascribed for a certainty, though
there is no dolbt but what the
company will, at least a
sort of protectorate over the
scheme, as the cattle interests of
the southwest part of the state
will be of more benefit to the I'm
ion Pacific than any other concern
The connection will be made at
Fort Steele"
