separately for president and vice presi-

BIG development
Of Coal Being Made In Belmont and Jeffer
son Counties.

Steubenville, o., Dec. 5.-A number
of big deals for all the coal mines in
Eastern Ohio are under way and will
shortly be consummated, when there
will be a grand consolidation of all
these mines under one big corporate
head. During the past two years big
blocks of coal land in all parts of JEFF
ferson and Belmont counties have been
optioned by various parties and now
that the money is being paid over the
well planned efforts of one gigantic
concern shortly to be incorporated Is
being uncovered.
The Glenns Run Coal Company con-
trolled by the w. & l.. e. railroad, has
started up Glenns and Nixons Run
above Martins Ferry in the direction of
Maynard in Belmont county. The w.
& L. E. railroad starting at Laurelton
on Short creek in Jefferson county, has
a cinch on all the coal adjacent to the
south side Of its line as far west as
Adeva. The ]. j. Roby company, sup
posed to be branch of the w. e L. e.
railroad, has bought all the coal from
Adeva to Maynard along the proposed
route to a road from Adeva where it
joins the w. & L. E. via st. Clairsville
to the river These purchases form
square in the center of which is over
10000 acres of coal land.
The Pennsylvania Company will be
shut out from building a coal road to
this block of coal land as this same
set of coal magnates have purchased
all the coal in Smithfield, Wayne.
Wells, Cross Creek, Mt. Pleasant and
Steubenville townships, this county
One outlet for part of this coal territory
will be by the Ohio River & Lake Erie
railroad, whose terminus is at Bergholz
in the northwestern part of Jefferson
county and for which route is being
surveyed which is going by way of
Hopedale probably to the river.
Big coal mines are being opened in
Tuscarawas and Carroll counties and
other tracts are being leased, it is
thought, by these same parties. The
p. G. Krause Coal Company, of Cleve-
land, has leased 1000 acres of coal land |
near Carrollton, and will open big
mines which may pass into the hands
of this one big concern.

Well, these deputies, whose names
appear upon the great ballot just be-
Meath the names of the Republican
presidential candidates, and who are
called electors, constitute Ohio's con-
tingent in that somewhat abstract in
stitution academically styled the cleo
toral college The characterization
college" does not appear in the arti-
cles of the constitution creating this
unique and ephemeral congress of 45
delegations, who never see one anoth-
er's faces in one grand meeting place;
but the word is found in the federal
statutes, to which it doubtless passed
from Alexander Hamilton's use of it
in the Federalist. 1t is technically a
good word, for it stands for an aggre-
cation of something; but in what it
implies to the average man it is as
base a misnomer as ever was coined.
The same day, January IA, 1901, there
will meet in Al other states similar
bodies, representing the Republican or
Democratic majorities of their respec-
tive states, to communicate the act of
their creators to the same federal Of

that records of such great consequence
shall not go wholly astray.
The perils of the Hayes-Tilden con-
test of 1876 brought forth in 1887 a law
amending the old one governing presi-
Dental elections. This law aims to
determine beyond dispute what is the
true electoral vote of state, and pro-
vides that in each case of more than
one return from state the lawful vote
shall be determined by the concurrent
vote of the two houses of congress. but
if the houses disagree then those eln"
tors shall be counted whose appoint
ment has been certified to by the gov
ernor of the state in question.

SIX CENTS
A Day is What an Indiana Man Lives

William Holley, 80 years of age, a
bachelor of Brazil, Ind, has demon
strated that a man can live on six cents
day. For the last four months Hol-
ley, who lives alone and does his own
cooking, has spent just $6S5 for food.
He says he has gained weight. This
was his bill of fare. For breakfast,
coffee, meat, bread and sugar; dinner,
same, with Nrobably vegetable;
supper, same as breakfast.
Each week Holley lays in a supply
of food which he makes do for the en-
tire week. This supply consists of the
following:

With no little ceremony-albeit eX-
tremely Democratic-the American
people finally declare their choice of a
president First, the decision of the
voter in the precinct booth; next the
registration of his will by the electors
of his state at the state capital; last,
the declaration of his decision by his
representatives at Washington. 1t is
the second Wednesday in February fol
lowing the November of the national
election, at the hour of one o'clock that
the senate of the United States for
mally march over from it's own cham
ber to the hall of the house of repre-
setatives, and takes the position pre-
scribed it by statute.
The honorable body is preceded by
its sergeant-at-arms and its president,
to whom have been transmitted the
electoral votes of the As American COM
monwealths.
In the forthcoming instance the
president of the senate will not by rea-
son of the death of Vice President Ho-
bart, be the vice president of the Unit
ed States. In the galleries of the
house will be special and dlstin-
guished throng.
The ceremony to follow is enacted
with the simplicity illustrated only in
democracies. The speaker of the house
is present, but mute. In his chair sits
the vice president, custodian of the
vote of the people. Two sets of certifi-
Gates, conveying the electoral vote,
have, as aforesaid, been dispatched by
the several states to this high officer.
One of each set has arrived by mail
and one by messenger.
In rosewood boxes these certificates
are now brought over from the senate,
capital police and sergeant-at-arms ac-
companylng as guards. Official tellers
are appointed-two from the senate
and two from the house.
The president of the senate opens the
certificates and hands them to the
tellers. One of the tellers reads a GER
tiffcate. 1t is doubtless found in pro-
per form, and no others will be read,
the tellers in rotation simply announce
ing, in alphabetical order of states, the
vote of the people.
Perhaps three-quarters of an hour
will be required to discover and record
this fact, and one of them will an
nounce the distribution of the electoral
vote between the presidential candi-
dates.
Thereupon the presiding officer will
declare William Mckinley and Theo-
dore Roosevelt to be respectively pres
ident and vice president of the United
States. With the oath of Office of
March the mighty process is finished
and our electoral system ceases to re-
volve.

Moses" says the deacon.
Yes, but | didn't call doctor"
grins Moses. MY old woman pulled
me through with herb teas and good
nursin, and you all know she can't
figger the value of two dozen eggs"
Then the pint is on the stranger,
and I'd like to see him dodge it.
The stranger was stubbin his toe
agin stones in the road and didn't
look happy, but he braced up and said
in answer:
Let US take case right here at
home, Here is store. 1t had to be
designed by IN architect before the
carpenter Auid build it. Mr.. Plumber
kin read, write and figger, but kin he
draw the plans fur buildin? But
fur higher education no man could
do it."
Yes; it was a smart bit of work,
acknowledged Moses. but ! had con-
siderable to say to that architect. He
had never heard that thunder would
turn sweet milk sour; he didn't know
cows had only teeth on one jaw; he
didn't know how to stop a hen from
settin, a hog from rootin or a dog
from KILN sheep. He even poked his
finger into a wasps' nest to see if the
critters was at home. I'm not agin
schools, but If they is to tell our chill
dren that the earth revolves on its
axis why don't they also tell EN- that
scratchin a hogs back with a corn
cob will help to fatten him."
That's a pint, Moses-its a pint"
shouted the deacon as he raps on the
bari. "Abner and Moses hev made
their pints. and now we'd like to hear
from Lish Billings"
I've got mighty little to say" re-
plies Lish as he sits with his back
bumped up like camel.
But it can't be that an intelligent
man like you is opposed to education? z"
protests the stranger.
That's accordin' to what sort of edu-
cation it is
Il refer to general education. You
look like man of peace, but perhaps
you have had trouble with a neighbor
some timer"
Yes, had trouble with Sam Wheel
er once"
"And you went to law"
Yes"
ITO go to law you had lawyer II
that man had only known enough to
read, write and figure, he wouldn't
have been lawyer. He had to hev a
higher education to be lawyer. Don't
you see?"
Il skassly do" said Lish.
But you had a lawyer and so did
Mr.. Wheeler. There was suit and
you got jestice."
That's a pint fur the stranger,
Lish!" shouts the deacon.
Eyes, mebbe It's, but femme tell him
how it turned out Sam shet up one OF
my hogs with his, and | proved 1t. but
my lawyer lost the case and charged
me $40 to boot The hog wasn't wutn
over SO, but Sam had to pay his law
yer $12, and he went home from the
lawsuit to find the critter dead. That's
gineral education. Sam and me lost
$22 and hog between us, and was
mad at each other fur ten years, and
I'm sayin' I've had nun of it and am
ag'in more school houses till DEATH"
The deacon jumped off the floor and
said it was a pint and a strong one,
and the stranger got down off the
counter and said he wasn't feelin' extra
we'll and guessed he'd git to bed early.
