SOME of the Democratic papers are
saying the United States has entered
into an alliance with Germany, be-
cause the United States is protecting
its citizens in China. The average
Bryanite is about as queer person as
the German Agrarian, and be has
about the same sort OF a feeling for the
ITuited States.

"HAvE you heard the news from
Oregon? ?" This was the query which
the Democrats were ready 10 put TO
their fellow countrymen ON the day
before the election in that State. But
they will not put il. Their organs all
over the country were saying that Ore
gOn was a doubtful State, and that it
would be carried 10y the Democrats in
the election which has just taken place
All the doubt that is now felt by any
body regarding the majority which
Oregon will give Mckinley in Novem-
ber is as to whether that lead will be
5000 or only 10000 or 1900.

A Ros..is view Of Our Mineral Wealth.


A. A. Stnizman. who IS associated with
Judge Keim in Somerset county coal land
transactions, was in town Thursday. He
Is busy " ith paying off the farmers whose
enal rights have been bought, and Mr..
Stptzman says he settles with from two
to four people daily. Farmers receive
generally from $2cO0 to $500. and as tae
syndicate represented by Mr.. StGtzpan
has optioned between S0cO0 and 90,oC0
acres at $40 To SD per acre. IL can be seen
that "a immense amount Of money has
5,en distributed among the Frnsty Sons
Of Thunder. And yet the work has ap-
parently only fairly begun. It viii take
a year or more fer Mr.. Stu;zman 20 finish
paying OF the options he has taken.
Somerset is destined to be ore of the
very richest counties in the State" be
said TO a representative Of the Democrat.
''Iis coal and timber and stone are but
items in its natural resources. 1t un-
doubtedly has oil as well, and this will
some day be developed. There are many
swamps and low places where the oil
stands upon the water thick erough 10
be set fire to with a match. and this is
certainly an indication OF what is bonesth
the surfacs. A few years ago well was
sunk near Sprucetown and progress
enough was made TO put some folks on
the anxious seat 1t was understood that
oil was struck, but just at the critical
moment agents of the Standard Oil
Co. came upon the scene, the drill was
brok en- in the shaft and the whole thing
was dropped like hot potato. Since
then prospecting has not been undertaken
in Somerset county, bat I am convinced
that oil abouuds there and that ultimately
it will be developed, to become. perhaps,
even a more important factor in the in
dustrial life Of the community than its
coal, timber and stone have been and
are.''
Mr.. Stuizman said that farmers were
loaning money at q and 3 per cent, and
that it was a drug even at that.-Johns-

st. Louis Letter.

Editor RegiSter-St. Louis is to have
another million dollar hotel to be in
keeping with the times and in readi-
ness for the Worlds Fair. The Full
lertons and Messrs. Hill and ex-Lieut-
Governor John b. O'Meara are the
prime movers of the project. Plans
are also being perfected for another
large office structure to be erected on
the northeast corner of 4th and Olive
streets. The new hotel will be built
on the northeast corner of Sth and
Pine streets. Truly, the building out
look for the coming summer promises
to be very bright indeed ST. Louis,
though, carries the medal for dirty and
rotten streets, also for poor lighted
city, she can rank second to none, and
mOre's the pity. The whole matter is
chargeable directly to the rottenest
rotten city hall gang in America. This
Is broad assertion, but nevertheless
a fact as is being proven every day.
There are, however, very few of the
House of Delegates that have the cour-
age to come out boldly and speak their
convictions, but they are powerless
and overawed by the gang who are
dominated and controlled by the one
candle-power Mayor President Nc
Math of the Board of Public Improve
ments is giving the gang pretty hard
race for their money these days. Un-
Gle Filley is also preparing some hard
problems for the push to solve. And
you bet Uncle Chauncey l. is the one
that can get .'hls moneys worth" when
once he goes after them.

1.-The Arcadia Valley Horticultural
Association" is the name of an Asso-

Tuesday, January 30th, as a result of
a meeting of a number of citizens call
ed by the Committee for the purpose
of organizing such society. Four
teen signatures were affixed to the
Articles of Association presented by
Mr.. j. B. Follett, Chairman of the
Committee, and the members of the

organize by the election of officers.
Mr.. j! b. Follett was unanimously
elected President, Hon. G.. w. Farrar,
M. D., Vice-President. and &. S. Rus
sell, Secretary and Treasurer. The
requirements to membership are good
moral character and the payment of a

Association is the promotion of the
cultivation of fruits, vegetables and
flowers after the most approved meth
DDS, the profitable marketing of our
products by cooperation and the gen.
eral promotion of good fellowship
among the members and harmony and
prosperity of the Valley. Several
committees, with specified duties, will
be appointed in the near future. but,
at this time, one important committee
was appointed by the President. viz:
Com mittee on Entertainment and
Progress" This committee, whose
immediate duty is the soliciting of new
members. consists of Mesdames II.
O'Brien, W. II. Shelby, c. S. Russell
and John Newman and Messrs. Louis

Question Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bill
iousness. Doctors we're scarce, and
they seldom heard of Appendicitis,
Nervous Prostration or Heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to clean
out the system and stop fermentation
of uudigested food. regulate the action
of the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action of the system, and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches
You only need few doses of Green's

you satisfied there is nothing serious

NOTES.

Much good work is being done by
the teachers and most of the pupils of
our schools. May the interest continue
to grow, is my wish.
Our homes are nurseries of charac-
ter. They may be the best of schools.
they may be the worst.
The business of pupil while attend
ing school is to study. not to attend to
social duties.
On whole, we believe we have as
gentlemanly and ladylike set of boys
and girls as can be found any where.
There has scarcely been a mean act
committed this year.
Patient labor and application are
necessary in the acquisition of knowl-
edge. There is no easy road to it.
Pupils who finish the course of study
in the Ironton High School can main
tain themselves in other institutions
of learning in similar subjects, provid-
ing they have the backbone. Too often
