Madison, Wis, Oct. II. - Ablaze
with electricity and red fire and gay with
bunting and flags, the first street carnival
In Madison's history opened most
auspiciously. Over 1900 visitors are In
the city, and this number. 1t Is expected,
will be greatly increased in the next few
days. The city presented a most brilliant
appearance, the capitol dome being lighted
with 500 electric lights, and the streets
around the capitol square being arched
over with lights also. Among the at
fractions are fifteen shows and FIVE brass
bands from neighboring cities. The city

Such conduct is not only grossly un.

most olious of crimes.
The emancipated subjects of Spanish

fore we turn them over to the dangers

running mate and he will get no better
terms for the Filipinos than he can
get today by submitting to the Nc
Kinley administration. Better, ten

WATCH THE COUNT.
Democratic Scheme to Carry
Ohio For Bryan.
KEEP GUARD AT EVERY POINT!

There Are Thirty-three Hundred Pre-
cincts 1n Ohio, and tn. Stealing of "a
Few Votes In Every Precinct Would
Mean n Change In the States Vote.
The Republican state committee is
informed that scheme is on foot to
steal the state for Bryan, If it can be
done.
There are many ways in which this
might be attempted, and every one of
these should be guarded against. One
is, to call Republican ticket as a
Democratic one, in the count of the
vote. Another, and a very clever one,
is for Democratic judge who is
calling" the tickets one by one, to
pick up two tickets at a time, thus
losing one vote to Mckinley and the
whole Republican ticket every time
this is done.
A single Democrat, on an election
board, may thus reverse the verdict of
his precinct. The ballots are destroy
ed when the count is completed, thus
precludlng any recount. See to 1t that
the count is an honest one. The Re-
publicans have nothing to fear from
al honest ballot and a straight count.
Republican precinct committeeman
in every precinct in Ohio have the
legal right to see that EVERY BAL
Lot is not only called, but is called
correctly. Insist on your legal rights!
Men who can be relied upon abso-
lrtely should be appointed watchers
at EVERY polling place in the state,
and they should be instructed to see
that neither Republicans nor Demo-
Gratis shall be cheated out of the votes
which legally belong to them. Re-
publicans want honest elections. They
believe in the rule of the majority,
and not IN fraud and cheating.

REPUBLICAN ACTIVITY.


More Employees at Better Wages the
Rule Everywhere.
In a quiet lake shore village in Ohio
is an industry keeping 200 men busy
that in 1896 could scarcely find work
for 3S. The 200, too, are getting much
better wages per man than the smaller
number did This industry illustrates
the situation in great lines of indus
trial activity, amounting to thousands
of men employed more than before,
and at higher wages Houghton coun-
ty, Michigan, at it's recent annual in
dustrial census, showed 1881 men in
the copper mines and mills-nearly
double the number four years ago
with an equal increase in all other
lines of activity. A Chicago concern
that in 1896 employed 300 people, at an
average pay of $7.57 per week, now
keeps 9S6 busy at an average pay Of
$l0.Gi per week.
So 1t is everywhere. At Quincy, ILL.,,
the industries all make reports like
these, and this is interesting because it
was at Quincy that Bryan made this
characteristic remark.
LAS | pass along the street, and as
| look into the faces of some of the
cere-wocn women who never get a
chance to t7ke summer vacation at
some pleasant watering place, | Won
der how the husbands and sons of these
women can find it in their hearts to
support the policies which are today
amassing great wealth in the hands of
the few people with a rapldity never
known before in the history of the
world"
That Quincy is prospering in Just the
way that Bryan sneers at is shown by
s. 100000 increase in it's bank deposits
in four years, and $4,000 900 increase
in the loans and discounts. This evil
dence of prosperity in the increased
deposits appears in Ohio at many
points, the Massillon banks having in
four years doubled their deposits to
s9,536,7O5, q net gain of s1,76s, ,9O4.
This is no chance or exceptional case,
for the reports of the savings banks
throughout the country show an. in.
crease from 1899 TO 1909 OF ndhrly
s174, 900, 900, and the number of depos-
itors-the most perfect index of the
number Of wage earners who are saw
ing more than their expenses-is g.
370,109 now, against 6.0'9.732 year
ago.

cubic feet of this most precious fuel
were allowed to escape into the air un-
consumed Its value will only be real
lied after it is all exhausted.
"All the fields show loss of pressure.
The old field of Trenton rock gas in
/ Northwestern Ohio is nearly exhaust
ed. That of Indiana is undergoing a
rapid decline Many of the old fields
have been practically exhausted in
! Pennsylvania also. Were it not for the
I fact that in Pennsylvania and West
/ Virginia the gas areas are more or less
| separated by streaks of unproductive
territory, they too, would have shown
! the same conditions that are observed
I in Ohio and Indiana. To reach the
| various gas pools of the Appalachian
fields usually involves a complete
change in the location of gas mains,
which is source of continual expense
to the Eastern gas companies. The
great broad and almost universal gas
producing qualities of the Trenton
limestone, however, inside of definite
limits, have made it matter of simp.
ly lengthening of the gas mains to
reach additional territory"
Of the gas producing States, Penn
sylvania ranks first, with total val
uation of sS,337,21O to its credit for
1899; Indiana comes next, with a val
uation of s6,6SO,37O; West Virginia
third with $2,395, 1854, and Ohio fourth,
with S1,S66,271, as representing the
value of its gas production. Indiana
probably produced more gas in 1899
than Pennsylvania, but its supply was
sold al lower price. The value of the
coal or wood displaced by the use of
natural gas during 1899 is estimated at
$'0,O95,994 for Indiana, as compared
with S7,751,435 for Pennsylvania.
There were 339 manufacturing estab-
lishments using gas as fuel in Indiana
during 1899, 124 in Pennsylvania and
G9 in Ohio.
There we're LAPS companies or ind-
Viduals supplying natural gas to con-
sumsrs in the United States at the
close of 1899. Thirteen iron mills, SO
steel works, 1876 glass works and 3,947
other establishments were depending
upon this valuable source of power,
upon this valuable and convenient
fuel for their source of power,
companies supplied the fuel for $50, 1856
domestic fires. They drilled 1899 wells
for gas in 1899, of which 275 proved
dry or non-productive. There were
744 wells that were once producers OF
gas abandoned during the year.
Mr.. ELEPHANTS report gives a COM
plete review of the natural gas indus
try by States and also covers the pro-
duction and consumption for the Do
minlOn of Canada. Fifteen States are
enumerated as producing natural gas
of a marketable value during 1899. and
all Of them are represented in Mr.. Oil
plants work. Utah, which produced
100000 worth of natural gas in 1895
and 1897, ceased entirely during 1890
South Dakota is represented for the
first time in the list Of gas producing
States. The gas is obtained from four
artesian wells located near Pierre in
Dewey county. 1t is a marsh gas that
shows no indications of petroleum.
. The four wells furnish about 10000
cubic feet day, which is used for
cooking purposes by a number of fam
lilies.
