the president OF his first wife, who
was Immediately followed to the grave
by her only son. A little later he
chose second wife from the same
family. The second Mrs. Kruger was.

1t was apropos OF this marriage that

Many of the remarks made upon
the stump by Theodore Roosevelt
Republican candidate for Vice Presi-
dent, have raised the ire of laboring
men, but nothing has gone straig hter
home ID them than paragraph
written by Colonel Roosevelt and
published in the Century Magazine
of February, 1888, the article being
entitled "Ranch Life In the Far
West"
In this article Colonel Roosevelt
makes the following statement:
"When drunk OH the villainous
whisky of the frontier towns thev
the cowboys and rough ridersl cut
mad antics, riding their horses into
the saloons, firing their pistols right
and left, from bolsterous light-heart-
edness rather than from any vicious
ness, and lndulging too often in
deadly shooting affrays brought Oh
either by accidental contact of the
moment or on account Of some long
standing grudge, or perhaps because
of bad blood between the ranches or
localities.
"But they are much better fellows
and pleasanter companions than the
small farmers or agricultural labor
ers; nor are the mechanics of a great
city to be mentioned in the same
breath with them."
To compare honest, industrious
and respectable mechanics and far
mers with drunken cowboys is an
insult to American citizenship.
No matter whether he be Democrat
or Republican, what does the work
ingman and mechanic think of it?
On November 6 he will have an op-
portunity to express himself at the
polls.-Baltim0rc San.

Number Two the Winner.

Paris, Tex.-A dispatch from this
city few days ago stated that young
man called at the County Clerks Of
flee Saturday for a license to marry,
after one had previously been issued to
another young man to marry the same
girl and that he left to study about
it," without getting the license. The
young man returned subsequently and
obtained the license. The first young
man, hearing of the second license
being issued, drove to the young lady's
home after 10 o'clock Saturday night
and induced her and her sister to come
to Paris and spend the night with a
relative. He then took the young lady
to his home to prevent the second
young man from getting a chance to
see her. They were to have been mar
ried at o'clock in the evening. No. 2,
however, ascertained where she was
and drove to the house just before the
ceremony was to be performed. She
jumped in his buggy and they drove to
a minister's a mile away and were
married. Meanwhile guests, had as
sembled at the home Of the brides
father, FIVE or six miles away, to attend
the wedding.

Quaint Village.

Some writer has discovered that Gna-
denhutten, the old town in Tuscarawas
county, and probably the quaintest
town in Ohio, is the only village in the
United States of 500 inhabitants which
eliminates political discussions from
is confines. The town is known all
over the state for its strong religious
sentiments. Sturdy Moravians, who
spend more time in the study of their
Bibles than in the reading of news
papers, cause Gnadenhutten to be
looked upon with some degree of Won
der. The men vote. and it does not
matter whether man be a Democrat
or a Republican, a strong friendship is
maintained When the campaign op-
ened this year the politicians outside
of this quiet little hamlet made a
strong effort to introduce public speak
ers there, but in every instance failed
! Gnadenhutten is one of the most his
toric spots in Ohio, owing to its early
connections of pioneer settlers and In
dians.

Geological observation long since
proved that petroleum and its deriva-
tions are unable to rise in the geologi-
cal scale from one formation to an
Other, the principal deposits being her
metically sealed in the strata that con-
tain them. 1t is assumed. this being
SO, that the so-oalled "surface-indica-
tjlons" of gas and oil are principally
due to the numberless fractures
through fails by which the contens of
the porous rock can reach the surface
II, therefore, 1t is possible for this
imprisoned gas to escape in any meas
urable degree, then, it is argued, the
present figures must indicate the re-
nlainder Of pressure after millions of
years Of waste"-lif escaping now the
pressure must be steadily falling un-
less through constant replenishment.
In all accumulations of oil and gas the
structure or arrangement of the strata
involved is the dominant feature. and
this controlling influence becomes
more and more clear as the gas and oil
fields of the world are more and more
adequately studied. 1t is Thought
probable that in the fields where salt
water rises from deeply porous rocks
under antesian pressure, the same pres
sure will be exerted on the gas and oil
which with the salt water are the
joint tenants of the rock. Doubtless
the rock pressure of the gas wells in
certain districts is due to the salt water
that follows the gas.
