Bryan at His Worst.

1t is not pleasant TO find a candidate for
President of the United States talking as
foolishly or dishohestly as Mr.. Bryan
talked at Monet, Mo:
1.-The Republicans are now boastiug
that We have reached a point where we
can loan money 10 people of other coGn-
tries. ! want to ask you whether you
regard that as an evidence of prosperity.
Why would any man send his money TO
Europe for investment if he could find
place in this country to invest it?
Money sent abroad for investment must
be sent for one of two reasons, either be-
cause the man who sends the money over
there thinks more OF the people over
there than he does of the people here, aud
does it for love and devotion, or because
ii is matter Of business, that is, because
he can invest it to better advantage in
European country than he can in this
country"
Mr.. Bryan either knows or does not
know that the country has accumulated
so much money under the financial sys-
TEN which he is trying to break down
that it has money 10 lend at a low rate of
interest TO the rest of the world. He
either knows or does not know that a low
rate ofinterest is good for the country in
general, especially ior that "debtor class"
for which be shows so much concern.
lie either knows or does not know that a
country which is able 10 lend is prosper
Gus. He either knows or does not know
that the big slice of the German loan TAX
en- by life insurance company repre-
sents in large measure the savings OF
many men in moderate circumstances.
If he does not know these things, he
is too big fool to be President. If ne
does, and yet talks as he talked at Mo-
net, he is too dishonest to be President -

who Is Col. Clearwater "

Col. A. A. Clearwater, the Republican
candidate for Congress in this district
is not man of national reputation. He
won golden laures for his bravery in
the great rebellion, when mere boy of
II years, and weighing only 96 pounds.
His bravery cost him the use Of his left
knee the rest of his life. A big rebel
bullet plowed great hole through his
knee aud stifiened it forever. Alter his
discharge from the war he attended
school a year on crutches, and before he
was able to throw away his cru,ches he
went to work on the beam TO learn TO be
tanner. Ho learned that trade and
learned it so we'll that at the early age of
SO he was superintendent of the great
Wilcox tannery, which at that time was
the largest sole leather tannefy in the
whole world. He made that tanuery
humming success for fifteen years and
then voluntarily retired two years ago, 10
take much needed rest and devote the
time to looking after some private affairs
that were enough to employ a man who
needed a well-eaaned vacation. Col.
Clearwater is of rather retiring DISPOSE
ton, aud has never sought to make him
selfprominent or widely known. What
ever he puts his hand to he does Will all
his might, and when he ran the tannery
he watched the business in every detail.
He used brain as we'll as Drawn, and sew
ersl valuable patents now in use in the
great tanneries attest his ingenuity and
inventive genius. lie is a high-class,
worthy man in every respect. He did
not seek nor even turn his hand TO get
the nomination. All that was done for
him in that line was done by friends who
had faith in his ability and worth as tim
Der for good Congressman. 1t was
case of the Office seeking the man. Ev-
erv other candidate in the field acknowl-
edged and applauded his qualifications
both as a candidate, and for the office if
elected

Court Minutes.

Court adjourned on Saturday last,
having been occupied the entire week in
disposing of the business on hand. But
two civil cases were tried.
In the case of Steiner VS.. Msrshel X Co.
the jury rendered a verdict in favor of
the de endsni,
Martain Smith VS.. l. n. Patterson,
verdict for plaintiff for S22.5O.
In the gambeling cases the three de-
PENDANTS plead guilty and were imposed
with the costs of prosecution and bal
ance of sentence was suspended.
Alonzo Andre ews plead guilty to vio-
lation of the liquor laws, and sentence
was suspended on payment of costs.
MURDERER BEsoLINo aErs 20 YEARS.
The trial OF Joseph Besolino for The
murder of Antonio Marino attracted a
large crowd 60 the court house during its
progress. The Commonwealth was rep
resented by District Attorney Irwin who
conducted the examination of the wit,
neses, and Hon. o. G. Allen of Warren,
who made the plea, apowerul effort, to
the jury. The defendant had for his
COUNSEL two OF Wayyen's rising young
attoi iueys, MosSrs. c. NJ. Shawkey and
George b. Mum. who fought TO save the
neck of their client Their efforts, it
seems, were successful, for tho jury,
aflef deliberatng for more than thirty
hours, brought in compromise verdict
of second degree murder. II is said tho
first ballot stood 10 in favor of murder
in the first degree, which wculd have CO.
incided with the practically unanimous
public opinion, or at least with tho opin
ion of all who followed the evideuce in
the case. In rendering their verdict the
jurymen recommended that The court
impose the MaXimum sentence, which
for this degree is 20 years. This the court
did on Saturday last.
When the verdict was announced the
prisoner, who did not fully comprehend
what it was, but supposed it TO mean
hanging, lost control of himself and had
to be supported by Sheriff Jameson.
On his way from the court house to the
jail tho sheriff succeeded ia making the
prisoner understand that he would not
be hung, whereuron he braced up and
was as clipper IS young robin.
The Sheriff aud his deputy conveye
Besolino TO the Western Penitentiai on
Monday evening last.

Letter TO G. II. Killmer.
TiOneSid, Pa.

Dear Sir: Some think we take a good
deal OF risk in inviting complaints Of
DevOe lead and zinc.-we authorize our
agent to sell under this guarantee:
"If you have any fault to find with this
paint, either now in putting it on, or
hereafter in the wear, tell your dealer
abont IL.
"We authorize him to do what is right
at our expense"
The following story tells how little the
risk is:
}. II. Asher.& Co., hardware dealers,
Rhinebeck, n. Y, have sold Devoe from
'76 to now, aud have bad just ono COM
plant in all this time.
Three sides of house were perfect I;
the fourth was as bad as the three were
good.
Explansiion--It rained she night before
the fourth side was painted aud the
psintera didn't wait for The wood % dry
What is done IN such a case? Whatever
the dealer, who sold the paint, considers
it lair 10 60. We leave it to him. lie
may not do exactly what we should if
we were there; but we are not there
The best We can do is to leave it to him.
Yours truly,

Some SuppOsitiOns.

Supposing wheat was now selling for
% cents per bushel, as Bryan and Marion
county pops said it would if Mckinley
was elected. And
Suppose corn was selling for eight
cents per bushel. Aud
Suppose all other farm crops were
correspondingly low. And
suppose crops had been immense in
this country aud immense everywhere
else.
Suppose all these things were Il ue,
what would the pops DO saying about the
situation?
Would they be talking about The law of
supply and demand?
Would they be attributing that unfor-
tunate state of affairs to Providence?
Not much they wouldn't.
Every mothers son of them would he
happy in their misery.
They would be exclaimiug, ~ told
you So"
They would be ridiculing the idea Of
the law of supply and demand having
anything to do with it.
They would be Indignantly denying
that overproduction had anything to do
with it, or underconsumption either
They would be bowling about all be-
ing attributable to the abominable gold
standard, the crime Of '73, the scarcity OF
money, and the election Of Mckinley.
Now, wouldn't they.
Suppose our honest pop readers and
silver Republicans think on these
things sawbile.-Marion (Kas.l Reco,,d

Wonderful Snow Fall in IA.

According TO the Kittanning Times, it
will be fifty six years ago Sunday, or TO
DO exactly definite Sunday, September
20, 1874, when the residents of this part
of the State awakened from their slum-
bers and surprising scene met their
vision. During the silent hours OF the
night wonderfully deep snow had fall
len. Just how deep this snow was the
older Inhabitants of TO day, those who
were old enough then Lo remember the
circumstance well. differ in their esti-
mates. While some say it was fully
three feet deep, none say it was less
than one foot, so we may draw reason
able average and call it eighteen inches.
The foliage was still on the trees, and i'm
many instances the apples had not boon
picked. So the snow found lodging on
the trees, and as result limbs were
broken Off under the weight, and much
damage was done TO timber and fruit
trees. Roads in all directions were i'm.
pedod ana travel was suspended. Stock
in the pasture fields could hardly be got
ton into places Of shelter Much suffer
ing aud loss of property, etc, was en-
tailed. For several days people could
not got a.ound to attend to their fall
work. In those days the only mode of
communication between towns was by
wagons and stage coaches, aud these
could not be moved until the snow had
melted away.

Jesse Hoy Sprinkle, son of David N.
and Joanna Sprinkle, was born near
Pricetown, o., June 4, 1886. He fell
asleep February l, 1900, aged l3 years,
7 months and q days. For the past
four years he had been attending
school in Columbus, o., where on
Christmas day he became victim of
la grippe, which caused heart trouble
and paralysis to follow. During all
his sickness he was so patient, never
complaining. He was very loving
and atfectionate child. He will be
missed so much in the home circle.
