\ f.. T.. 4 ~ .
The approaching Fourth OF July has
stimulated travel on the river 10 enor-
nous proportions, as was evidenced
Sunday by the packets thattouched ut
this port. The Lorenc, from Pits
burgh. for GAINESVILLE. on the Musklng-i
nm, had 2l7 passengers the Kanawha,
for Pittsburgh, from the Great Kama
who, had lf5, and the Avalon, for Gin;
clnnati. from Pittsburgh. had nearly
200. and thirty or forty passengers on
this boat could not be accommodated
yevenewith chairs. The absence of the
big Cincinnati & Pittsburgh liners nc
counts for the congestion on the SMALL
er boats. Wheeling steamboatmen
say yesterdays condition Is without
parallel in the past.

FIRED
A Shot Into the Air and the Soldiers
Ran.-AChurch Street Episode.

A party of soldier boys, on pleasure
bent. were treated TO surprise on
Church street last night, and one OF
them, whose name we will not men
ton, is at Grace Hospital with a sore
head.
1t seems that the crowd attempted to
get into the Linus Curtis house on
Church street, and were driven away.
Returning to Front street, they gather
ed several more brave blue coats and
went back to storm the dwelling.
they were met on the porch, however,
by Linus, who, it is aid, fired a shot in
to the air and then struck one of the
boys over the head with a club.
The crowd took to their heels and
the young fellow who was hit was plac-
ed in a cab and taken to the hospital.
He is suffering from painful scalp
wound.

JUDICIAL.

THOS. A. JONES.
The Only Objection.

The behavior OF some, not all, of the
members of the Sixth on the streets
last evening was outrageous and show
ed an objectionable lack of respect for
the people of the city which is glad to
open It's gates to them. Discipline and
common decency should make them
more courteous and less insulting, es-
pecialiy towards ladies' who have nc
desire to make their acquaintance. II
Is hoped that the manly spirit which
should exist among them will prevail
and that during the remainder of theil
stay here they will behave more like
Americans.

quite good deal of liberty, however,
as 6S men, not including the non-com-
missioned officers, may leave the
grounds at one time.
Three reliefs were detailed for pick
ct duty. These reliefs are composed of
20 men each, and guard the camp for
"a hours. Every two hours relief Is
retired to give place to its successor.
In this manner each relief gets four
hours rest in the "a hours of required
duty.
One feature of the soldiers amuse-
ment which will seem quite unique to
the people of Marietta is the practice
OF tossing a man in an army blanket.
Fifteen or twenty men manipulate the
blanket and the man or boy placed
therein is shot upinto the air as though
projected by catapult. The soldiers
were having lots of amusement treat
ing the ever present small boy to this
particular kind of diversion, by or
ders of Lieutenant Commander Day
they will in the future select the vic
tins from the regiment
The parade which was to have been
held at 6:15 last evening was inter-
rupted by the threatening clouds and
slight dowpour of rain. This part of
the Sixth's regular pragram is very in
teresting and should attract many
spectators After the clouds had modi-'
fed their threatening appearance in
some degree, visitors began TO pour
into the grounds and were delighted
by some very fine selections by the
regimental band One musical number,
song sung by the members Of the
band in concert, deserves especial
mention.
The Sixth is very proud of its crack
baseball team and is anxious to try
conclusions with the Marietta team
In all probability their wish will be
gratified. FIJI

What 10 toI Means,

1t means practice that 16 ounces of
silver should be held as worth as much
as one ounce of gold. One ounce of
gold, American coin, standard of fine
ness-that is, 800 parts of pure gold to
100 parts of alloy-will coin in gold
dollars 1880. Sixteen ounces of silver,
American coin standard of fneness--
that is 800 parts of pure silver to 100
Of alloy, at the rate OF 412h grains to
the dollar (the weight of the present
standard siler lar)-will coin $18. go
in silver dollars. These 16 ounces Of
silver can be bought in the market OF
the world today for $9.07. There
would, therefore, be a profit of 1888 on
an investment Of 1907, being over 105
per cent, II a holder of silver could
take II to the mint and coin It without
charge into silver dollars. The advo-
Gates OF free coinage favor law that
will allow any holder OF silver bullion
---or, in fact. silver OF any kind (as the
latter can readily be melted into bars)
to have the right to take the same 70
any mint Of the United States and con-
vert 1t into silver coin free Of charge

Early steamboating on the Upper Mus
kingum.

Early Steamboating on the Upper Mus
kingum.
From the Times Recorder of Friday
we take the following extract from a
peper read by William Culbertson be-
fore the Historical Society of Masking
um county July 18th. The article is an
account OF the first steamboat on the
upper Muskingum river.
In early years and previous to the
Improvement of the Muskingum river
the building of the side cut canal ex-
tending from the main line Of the Ohio
canal and connecting with the Mus
kingum the upper Muskingum was
navigable by canoes and perogues ex-
cept in some few instances during high
water other water craft navigated its
waters. The perogues were followed by
keel boats. During the high water
seasons, such crafts ascended the Mus
kingum river to Coshoctona from
thence up the White Woman (now the
Walhonding) and Tuscarawas rivers
some distance. Boats also ascended
and descended Wills creek for some
distance.
In those early years considerable
amount of business by the way OF
trading, ETC., on these streams was
transacted. The opening of the Ohio
canal did away with the perogues and
keel boats. Occasionally a steamboat
would ascend the Muskingum river to
Coshocton.
The first steamboat that ever as
cended the Muskingum river was the
Mary Ann" Capt. A. Nicholson
which boat left this place on the morn
ing of November 10, 1929, on tria
trip to Coshocton, 80 miles, and by
special invitation of the owners of the
boat quite number of GAINESVILLE
gentlemen went on board to enjoy the
first steamboat ride On the Tipped Mus
kingum river.
The steamboat Mary Ann was
small boat remodled out of keel boat
and was built by Mr.. Jacob Sperry, 6
prominent merchant of GAINESVILLE a
that day and young man by the name
OF Nicholson from Pittsburg, was {
partner The boat was built above
the dam, the only dam on the river a
that period. She was 10 feet long, q
feet beam, side wheel and her machin
cry consisted of two small engines ant
one boiler, built by Messrs. John d
Dare and A. Nicholson at the foundry
Of Richardson & Bostwick, which wa!
on the lot now occupied by Gregg
Dutro as a crate factory
The labor of rebuilding was done b!
Peter Strickland, Paul Hahn and Johr
Mcbride, who were our boat builders
at that time and pioneer citizens o
GAINESVILLE.
The Mary Ann was quite handsome
crate and the owners findning no trade
for her to Dresden afterward dropped
her below the dam and she ran in thu
lower river
There being no canal at that tim,
except a short one to supply water TO
the Touring mills, the Mary Ann wa
taken to the old dam and preparation
made to launch her over the dam
Night coming on those engaged in tn
work concluded to postpone furthe
work until morning. During the nigh
there came a heavy rise in the rive
and when they came the next morning
to lanch the Mary Ann over the dan
it was their agreeable surprise to OBJ
screw the craft floating around i'm
mediately below the dam, perhap
more safely done than if the workmel
had done it.

A constant reader" breaches a
burning question in brief communi-
cation to the New York Sun when he
asks: "Why would it not be good
idea for men to go around without
their coats or vests? The women all go
without their coats. If it was the
fashion it would look all right and we,
the men, would be as cool as the ladies
in this awful weather. What do you
say to this?"
This writer suggests reform in
mems summer dress that appears
bound to come and to come soon. In
two cities west of Columbus. The
young society "swells" have sanctioned
it by appearing in tine streets clad only
in trousers and silk shirts or course
these must be perfect fitting, and the
trousers must have either special but
tonless Wristbands or be supplied with
leather belts. This is common sense
idea. Why not? What better right
have ladies to appear in public in cool
shirtwaists? A yes. is the hottest
garment man can wear. 1t buttons
in all the body heat. A coat, howev-
er light. seems, on these torrid days, to
be a superfuous garment and to go
without either coat or vest is summer
luxury that cannot much longer be de-
MED the men.
No wthat 1t has been endorsed by the
''swagger set," the style is bound to
spread. This is the latest innovation
in dress and the most sensible one that
has developed since the shirt-waist fad
took deep root. AS it is now, one may
60 on the street any day and see per-
spring men, goaded to desperation by
the heat, divesting themselves of their
coats and carrying them on their arms.
This is all unnecessary. A fashion
that makes people uncomfortable and
brings suffering is more honored in
the breach than in the observance,
Midsummer is very trying season al
best, and anything that will mitigate
the bodily discomfort should be read
ily adopted. Dispatch.

Belpre citizens have suffered much
inconvenience of late by reason OF nc
gas, caused by the repairs to the leak
in the line which crosses the Ohio riv-
ed to supply the company's customers
on this side. The Gas Co.'S revenue
from Belpre Is sufficient to warrant
the company in giving to Belpre con
sumers better service than is given. II
is hoped the repairs will be made in a
manner to insure plenty of gas the
coming winter. If they are not, many
who are using gas will return to the
use of coal This is no joke. We are
becoming weary OF picniclng at home.

that the State no longer ships cotton

"Mortgage all but your soul to
ANYBODY"

mortgage all but your soul to
ANYBODY"
Coming from Senator Butler
and Secretary Thompson and
Auditor Aver and Treasurer
Worth, not emitting Chief Clerk
Denmark and Bro. Cade, this ad-
monition to "co-operate" with
any and all elements, without re-
gard to race or color, TO continue
the disorders and bad government
which humiliated and injured the
State from 1897 to 1899, sounded
like hollow mockery, the mere
echo of the wailings of departed
and departing spirits to ex-Libra-
rian Cobb, ex-Labor Commission
er Hamrick, ex-Railroad Com
missioner Otho Wilson and ex-
Sheriff Zack Garrett.
This mortgaging-of the soul
business for Office is just where
these last named statesmen drop
ped their watermelon. Payday
came in 1898 and the people fore
closed. Another pay day ap-
proaches, when Senator Butler
and sshis associates will have to
pony up, and Notwithstanding
those who have gone before did
not even save the homestead, the
Senator pleads with them to
mortgage all they have to help
him and those not yet retired to
''hold on" The statesmen on the
'sretired list, no more than the
people generally, can see wherein
they are to be benefited by
mortgaging themselves to keep
Mr.. Butler in the Senate and the
devil turned loose to roam at will
throughout the State.
