City Clerk Delaplain is one of
the most competent officials that
has ever been in the service of
the city. He has performed with
out any additional compensation
whatever five times the work any
other official has had to perform
in any two preceding terms. This
is not talk. Go and count the
pages of the official record and
they tell the tale clearly. There
is no particular merit in this, save
that it proves that he is a willing
and accommodating official and such
service is generally accepted as
criterion for further preferment
There are other men who can do
the work of the city clerk, no
claim has ever been made other
wise by Mr.. Delaplain's friends,
but what he has done none could
have done better and doubtless
much worse. Vote for Mr.. Della
plain. Put yourselves in his
place and ask yourself the ques-
ton, that had you done all the
special service of the past two
years, would you not ask for an
other term. Certainly you would
and SO would anyone else. 1t is
natural and right. Cast your
votes for M. o. Delaplain.

CPANISH OLIVES

Como from Spain, with the Exception
of Those from California.
Washington Star: Although olives
are now quite extensively grown in
Southern California, the bulk of the
edible fruit comes from Spain, from
which country there are about 5000
casks of olives annually imported into
the United States" said large i'm
porter of olives. 1.-The fruit varies in
size from 210 to the nielo. which is two
and one-fifth pounds, up to olives as
large as sixty or seventy to the nielo.
Very few olives are nowadays shipped
here in bottles. They come in casks
and are repacked by the importers in
kegs or fancy jars and bottles for dis
tribution to the retail trade. The olive
is a very profitable fruit to grow, mas
much as IN orchard OF well-developed
trees practically requires little or no
care. Its fruit can be gathered and
cared for by the most simple and prim-
tive means and the oil and pickles
easily kept and transported. 1t is not
known how long a good olive tree will
continue to bear fruit in profitable
quantities. but there are today in Spain,
Italy and France trees bearing bounti-
fully at the age Of $50 years. The olive
trees bear equally well in the vale,
or on the mountain sides, but those on
the lower ground furnish the finest
fruit and richest oil. The trees yield
large crop once in two years. In the
month of September the fruit begins to
turn blush black, but 1t Is not fully
colored and ripe till October. 1t II
often attacked by small maggots, sucn
as are found in cherries, and then 1t
falls from the trees; but, though the
olives are partially spoiled, they are
picked off the ground and an inferior
kind of oil is made from them. The
consumption of olive oil in this coun-
try amounts to about 100000 gallons
yearly. OF that quantity nearly 10000
gallons is the product of California
and the remaining $50. 900 gallons come
from Spain, Italy and France. Thou
sands Of galIons of olive oil are adul-
Ierated with peanut, cotton seed and
poppy oil, and the article is sold
throughout the United States as a
cheap substitute for the genuine OIL"

SECOND DAY OF BATTLE.

LONDON, February 9.-The Daily
Telegraph has received the following
dispatch, dated Tuesday. February 6.
from Spearman's Camp:
This is the second day Of the bat
tie, and the fighting has been fiercer
than 1t was yesterday. At dawn the
Beers began the action by Smelling our
bivouac with their Long Tom and
Pompon guns from Doom Kloof. Their
six-inch shells fell near the spot where
Gen. Butler and his staff were watch
ing the engagement. One shell burst
amid a squadron of the Thirteenth
Hussars, but not a soul was touched.
"Our guns from Swarts Kop and on
the plain soon silenced the enemy's ar
tillery, but repeatedly the Beers
brought back their guns; propped them
to work over the hills. fired a few
rounds and then changed their posi-
ton.
During the morning our gunners
succeeded in blowing up the enemy's
ammunition wagon upon Doom Kloof.
Gen. Lyttleton's brigade was shot at
from three sides and had a warm time.
Desperate efforts were made by the
Beers to recover the smoking hill. The
Durham Light Infantry, the Kings
Royal Rifles and the Scottish Rifles
CALAMITY charged and cleared the po-
sition.
Gen. Hildyard's brigade relieved
Gen. Lyttleton's brigade toward sunset.
Fighting continued until 8. Sew
eral prisoners have been taken. They
declare that the Beers yesterday lost
heavily. The enemy suffered severely
to-day. 1t is reported that among
their dead in the trenches armed

Strange Case of Harriet Clark, OF
Calumet. Michigan-Rappings in
Her Room and Electric shocks
From Her BODY.
Special to the Register.
TOLEDO, O., February S.-Physicians
and laymen are deeply puzzled by the
peculiar case Of Harriet Clark, a thir-
teen year old girl living at the home
of her uncle, Joseph Trudell, in Calu-
met, Mich. Last Sunday night she re-
tired in apparently perfect health. An
hour later strange rappings and knock
ing began in her room. The girl was
badly frightened and the family and
neighbors were nonpulsed. Those who
touched her received smart electric
shocks, and the rappings increased in
violence. DR.. A. G. Macleod, a prom
inent and reputable physician was
summoned and is unable to give relief
or stop the violent rappings, which
constantly continued from all parts OF
the room. The girl continues in the
same condition and the rappings which
are now intermittent can be heard by
neighbors for fully a hundred feet.
The case has been investigated by
other physicians and many curious
people but no explanation has been Sc
cured. The girl is much alarmed and
the ~superstitious ones among the
neighborhood believed her possessed OF
a devil.

There promises to be some discussion
in the next convention of the miners
of the Pittsburg district relative to the
old bone of contention, the differential
wage between thick and thin vein coal
mining.
The diggers in the thick vein. which
is up the Youghiogheny and Mononga-
hela rivers. want the differential of 1872
cents reduced one-half. 1t is pointed
out by the diggers in the upper pools
and the railroad mines that are in the
same district that both thick and thin
vein coal now bring the same price, the
differentia1 in selling prices being
abolished by the combines.

Of a portion of the Belmont garrison in

The Ninth Lancers made several at
tempts to draw out the Beers, but were
unsuccessful. The British hold the
highest portion of the kopje, the Beers
position being ON the lowest portion
Owing to the steepness Of the southern
slope of the kopjes it is impossible to
mount artillery. The usual daily she'll

The outposts report that the Beers

The sun was warm, to-day, when a

his hand into the water. He found that
the steam had made the water in the
basin comfortably warm. In a minute
his clothes were lying on the dock in
a heap and the boy was floating, diving
and cutting up capers. Half an hour
from that time the basin was full of

FRANKFORT, KY, February S.-Un-
less some action regarding the Louis
vile agreement Is taken by Governor
Taylor tomorrow or next Gay, or some
word sent to them concerning his in
tentions. the Democrats will proceed
upon the hypothesis that he does not
intend to take any action and will go
ahead with the organization Of their
State government at Louisville. A con-
ference was held this evening at the
Capitol hotel, in which Governor Beck
ham, Senator Blackburn, S. ]. Shackel-
ford and John X. Hendriek We're pres
emit. The delay of Governor Taylor in
declaring himself regarding the Louis
vile agreement was discussed at length
and it wa agreed by all present that,
in their opinion, the Democrats had
waited long enough. 1t was agreed at
Louisville that the legislature should
meet in the capitol building on Monday
and it is now so near that time that
the Democrats are beginning to think
that Governor Taylor may take no ac-
ton regarding it within the time limit
set. One day more will be allowed for
some intimation from Governor Taylor
and IL it is not forthcoming another
State government will be organized at
Louisville.
Governor Taylor announced tonight
that he had taken no action regarding
the agreement, and there was no pos
sible chance of his doing SO before to-
morrow morning. He would not say
whether he will take n action to-
morrow or not. 1t is practically GER
tain that the agreement will not be ac-
cepted by Governor Taylor as it stands.
He desires more specific promises re-
garding the repeal of the Goebel law
and a decision in the gubernatorial
contest by a separate vote or the two
Legislative Houses. To this last the
Democrats say they will not agree.
Regarding the repeal of the law, they
claim that no mention was made OF a
repeal in the Louisville conference.
The talk was entirely regarding the en-
actment of a new election law to be
framed by selected men of both parties.
This law would. in the nature of
things, repeal the Goebel law, by the
mere fact of its being later legislation
upon the subject
Governor Taylor holds the view at
present that Governor Goebel was
never legally seated, and will demand a
new vote on the matter before he Will
consent to abandon his seat under any
circumstances.
Not a Democratic member OF the
House was in Frankfort to-day TO at
TEND the funeral, and tonight Governor
Beckham. Gen. Castleman and a few
other Democratic leaders returned TO
Louisville tt take matters In hand
there. The report vas given out that
orders had been issued to arrest such
members of the legislature as might
come to town to-day, but this was de-
MED by Governor Taylor, by Adjutans
General Collier and Col. Williams, all
of them saying that orders to that d.
feet had never been issued at any time
during the troubles.
The application for a permanent IN
junction restraining Governor Taylor
from interfering with the session OF tha
legislature in Frankfort and from con-
vening it at London, was not heard to-
day at Georgetown, as originally In
tended. The matter went over until to-
morrow.
