Democratic party and bankrupt DEM
ocratic campaign treasury, Mr. Mckinley
carried his own State by only AZ, 497
votes.
To accomplish this result a vote was
cast, the like of which is without re-
cord.
Mr.. Mckinley received more than a
hundred thousand more votes than
were ever cast for Presi-
Dental candidate. Ohio cast more
than million votes in 1896. 1t is con-
coded by the leaders of both parties that
the whole vote this year will be less
than 100000.
The old sentiment that once inspired
the Ohio Republicans has vanished. Moth
ing remains but the cold, sordid argu-
ment of Hanna and the palpably false
talk about the full dinner pail"
In the decrease of the total vote Nc
Kinley will probably lose two votes for
every vote lost to Bryan. The Demo
cratic party is united and full of enthu
siasm this year 1t has been many years
since the Ohio Democracy was so harmo
NOUS as it is now. There is no sulk-
ing, no grumbling; all are for Bryan.
There is another feature in Ohio poll
tics which disheartens the Republican
leaders, Mayor Jones is to be nominated
for Congress by petition and then in
dorsed by the Democrats. His powerful
influence will be felt when he takes the
stump against imperialism. Mr. Jones
will not take a Democratic nomination
because he does not believe in parties,
but it is the intention of the Democrats,
with the warm approval of Mr.. Bryan and
the Democratic National and State COM
mittees, to indorse his candidacy.

HUNGER IS THE BEST SAUCE"

Yet some people are never hungry. What
ever they eat has to be forced down"
There is, of course, something wrong
with these people. By taking Hoods Sar-
saparilla a short time they are given an
appetite and then they enjoy eating and
food nourishes them. If you find your
appetite failing, just try a bottle of
Hoods. 1t is a true stomach tonic and
every dose does good.

OVER THREE MILLIONS
A West Virginia Industry That will
Rank with the Largest.

As a result OF the poss ession OF ex-
ceptional advantages In the way of
water and railroad transportation
facilities and because of its location
in the center Of great coal produc-
ing district, Wheeling is to have a
great crucible steel manufacturing es-
Establishment The firm of Seybold and
Dickstod, the largest manufacturers
OF crucible steel in Great Britain,
whose present establishment is locat-
ed at Sheffield, England, will remove
its immense works to Wheeling with
in a short time. 1t is proposed to
erect on land already optioned there,
modern plant costing upward Of 3d.
600, 900 which will employ $500 men.
The increasing cost OF coal in Great
Britain has induced this move to the
United States, and Wheeling has been
selected because of its advantages of
location. That city is indeed FORUM
ate In securing such an important in
dustrial acquisition. That Wheeling
is forcing to the front among indus
trial cities is fact, and that the new
ly formed board Of trade Of that city
will be able to turn the eyes OF their
industries to the great advantages In
the way Of transportation and cheap
fuel enjoyed there, is evidenced by the
fact that it is now In fair way to Sc
cure for the city another great indus
try, the name of which has not yet
been made public.

TWO CENTS
EDUCATED MEN WANTED.
And the Education Must Be Moral as
Well as Intellectual.

The call for educated men was
never SO great as it is this very
moment. That worthy periodical,
Success, tells us that they are in
demand everywhere. They are want
ed in the professions, in business
houses, in manufacturing establish
ments, on the farms Of the country.
The educated farmer OF the future.
the farmer who understands, for in
stance, chemistry. whose training
enables him to analyze the forces Of
nature, the farmer who can, in
word, supply brains TO soil, is to be
the successful agriculturist In the
near future.
There is, on all sides, too no
ticeable demand for college edncat-
ed men. We do not believe that q
college education can do everything
for a young man, but it is a factor of
intellectual development and char
acter culture for the great majority
of young people enabled to enjoy its
benefits. Recent developments con
corning two important financial in.
stitutions in the east prove II any
proof were needed, that no education
is of any real value unless accompan-
led by the development of a sound,
moral character, says the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune"
Too many men nowadays pose as
educated because their reading has
been extensive, their travel varied
and their purse well filed. These
things have all value, not TO be
ignored or minimized, il we'll used,
but they do not, in themselves, con
stitnte an educated man. For true
education there is required moral as
well as mental and physical develop
ment.
The honest farmer who has never
had the benefit of education, other
than that of his district school, or
travel beyond his. county seat, Is
really q better citizen and a really
better educated man than the bank
embezzler or the expert forger, who
uses his knowledge to defraud the
public. Our educational system
needs, in It's every department, more
of solid character culture.

ANOTHER Big ONE.
Lewis County Gets Six Thou
sand Barrel Gusher.


Came In Yesterday 1t is Near the Big
COpley Well Which is the Biggest in
the Sfate-Limits of Production Be-
ing Extended Largest Pool in the
State Apparently Located.
The second great gusher in the
Sand Fork development, in Lewis
county, West Virginia, was brought
in with rush yesterday by j. M.
Gutiey d Co. and the South Penn
Oil Company about 1900 feet from
the famous Copley well. The well
produced $50 barrels of oil in 40
minutes and last night it was re-
ported to be flowing oil at the rate OF
5000 barrels day. The new gush-
er is important in that it establish
es beyond doubt the fact that the
Copley well was not freak and that
the rich sand is at least one-fourth
of mile in width. j. M. Gutfey d
Co. expect to reach the sand on the
James Muladdy farm, one mile
Northeast of the Copley, to night
and this well will be the most impor-
tant in that section. 1t will deter
mine at least in one promising direc
tion the extent of the gusher field.
The Gufey well was brought in
on the Turner farm, nearly due East
of the Copley. The drillers mad ex
pected a producing well because of
the close proximity to the Copley,
but one of such size came in the ma
ture of an agreeable surprise. The
owners of the new well were more
fortunate than the South Penn was
with its Copley and the tanks OF the
latter were used to take care of the
product. The pay was tapped at 8
o'clock yesterday morning and Colo
mel James M, Guffey received tele-
gram announcing the fact at noon.
The South Penn got word from its
field superintendent not long after.
The well was flowing strong last
night, but its product was being
cared for.
1t is much too soon to tell what
effect the Tnrner strike will have
on the Copley production. Nothing
heretofore was drilled to dispute the
claim of that gusher to all the oil
within it's reach, but there is little
doubt now among the operators that
it will be compelled to surrender
part of it's territory to the Turner.
The production of the Copley has
declined somewhat during the past
few days, but it was yesterday pro-
ducing 80 barrels an hour. 1t is
Just AT days since it reached the
pay, and in that time it has given a
fortune to its owners. Over $4,000
has been spent by the owners of the
well in the Sand Fork region, with
out any signs of success heretofore
beyond some gas wells and one small
producer.
The eyes of the entire southwest re-
gion are now on the Muladdy test of
Guffy & Co. This is northeast and on
45-degree line from the Copley.
The Muladdy's location is of greater
importance than that of the Turner,
and if it comes in a producer tonight
or tomorrow the rich producing ter
ritory will be extended one mile and
wells without number will probably
be started within the next week.
The Sand Fork development is now
the most important in the producing
sections, and the entire operating
country is interested.
