ONE Of thesurprises came yester-
day when James w. Robertson and
James II. Kitchen voted for ]. Ed
ward Addicks for U. S. Senator for
the short term. They like an over
whelming ma ority OF the members
of the Republican part want to see
two U. S. Sen ators at Washington.
Two vacancies means two Demo-
cratic Senators two years hence
and no good Republican wants TO
see that. Senator kenney's term
expires on Monday, and Delaware
will be without representative in
the Senate. Ali it requires now is
Tor five more Republicans to cast
their votes for two q. S. Sen ators
and they will be named without
any trouble. Our desire for years
has been TO see two Republican u.
S. Senators at Washington. The
man who thinks everybody but
himself is dishonest must be SO
himself. All men do not have to
be bought. The man who would
burn down his house to get rid of
some household pest thereby endau.
gering his nelghbors property is
subject tor lunatic asylum. And
there are many such people IN Viii.
mington. They should either die
or move away.

We think policy playing is gam
bling, but when one OF the writers

the business, in his case, was not

there are bigger games right here

Oil and Gas Well.

Two years ago the Wickliffe Canning Company
erected factory IN Wicklie and began the canning
Of fruits and vegetables 1t being good point for
that business. In June, 1900, little more than a
year ago, the Company, needing water, dug old
fashioned square we'll few feet to the north and
just in the of the plant At the depth of thirty
feet unpleasant od0r Of gas was noticed issuing
from the well, and upon digging five feet deeper,
water was struck so strongly impregnated with oil,
naptha and gasoline that the well was covered up
with boards and abandoned as unfit for use.
One day. some time after the closing OF the well,
Neal b. Lovelace OF Martin, Tenn Jas. Owen Of
Bardwel KY, and Mr.. Grnstead of Cairo, all trav-
cling statesmen, accompanied by Matt Smith Of
Wicklfe, went around to look at the well and in
vestgate the presence Of gas They shifted around
without anything very unpleasant striking their
olfactories and, as joke, little dreaming of danger
Mr.. Smith lighted match and threw 1t into the we'll
at the same time excaiming, "Look out!" Instantly
there flash, and flames burst from the well
from volcano, severely burning Lovelace and Grin
stead-the latter seriously that his injuries kept
him in the hospital at Cairo some five or six weeks
and at first 1t feared that he would lose his eye
sight, but fortunately escaped such calamity.
Since the above incident the well bears placard,
Dangerous The water in this we'll is about ten
feet Deep and contains large per cent. OF OIL ben
zine or gasoline and other component parts of crude
petroleum. An ordinary quinine bottle dropped into
the well by string, will, when drawn up, show
half inch or more Of OIL benzine gasoline on top
of the water, while the water will be impregnated
with oil. The liquid is clear and very iniammable,

Roosevelt's Policy.

The announcement that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has requested that
the members of the late Presidents
cabinet retain their positions per-
manently, coupled with the ASSET
ton of his purpose of carrying out
the policy begun by Mr.. Mckinley
gives indication of conservative ac-
ton.
Judging from the expressions
the new President has so tar made,
and from the speech he delivered at
Minneapolis short time before
the deplorable occurrence that
placed him in Office, he will empha-
size the policy of reciprocity in
trade and may display unusual hos
tilty to trusts. He spoke very
plainly on the latter question in a
speech delivered at Minneapolis.
One of the then Vice-President's
utterances on this occasion was
pointed in its reference to capital
combines, and attracted very gener-
al attention. 1t was as follows:
1.-THE vast individual and corpor-
ate fortunes, and the vast combi-
nation of capital which have marked
the development of our industrial
system, create new conditions and
necessitate change in the old at
titude of the States and nation to-
ward property"
Something of this tenor embodied
in the next message to Congress
would give that document an
unusually piquant flavor and bring
on some lively discussion.-Nash-
vile Banner.

A STRICKEN NATION.

The Western Republic, in the
zenith Of its power and glory, has
been put to shame. The Chief
Magistrate of the Nation has been
stricken unto death by the sting
of a human viper, the degenerate
offspring or relic of generations
gone, subjects of an old-worla
empire Of selfish and polluted rul-
ers. This thing, who has escaped
from the country and age of OPP
preston to the freedom and light
of American liberty, turns with
his loathing and venom upon the
man who would most Of all shield
him in the pursuit of life and hap
piness, with the engine of de-
struetion. Who can estimate the
loss of the Nations pride and
prestigei Who can fathom the
future Of this fiendish deviltryG
These lecherous descendants of the
vile nations Of earth should and
must be hunted down as the basest
criminals and driven from our
land. Necessity will provide law
and the righteous indignation of
an outraged people will find the
means for the exodus.

WILLIAM M'K1NLEY.

President Mckinley is said to
have been the most popular Pres
ident of the United States. This
can hardly be doubted in view of
his unanimous election last year
for a second term. Whatever
may have been party prejudices
and differences, he was universally
admired IL al men and nations as
tower of moral strength and honor.
We have looked upon his face on
many occasions and there came
the reflection can honest man is
the nSoiest work Of God" Wiz
liam Mckinley was a wise and
conservative leader, broadminded
and generous, and his discretion
and judgment were reckoned with
repose and confidence. He pre-
ferred a life of simple habits to
ostentation and display. A writer
once said that jefferson was
the first and Lincoln the last dem
ocratic President" This might be
with more truth than fiction ex-
tended to the administration of
President Mckinley. The crown
ing glory of the man was the pur
ity Of his Christian life. As the
commanding figure Of . Christian
nation, he was the chief exponent
of the doctrines of the Lowly Naz-
arine, and his faith was uppermost
in every walk of life. The nation
bows with one heart and mind. In
every nook and corner of the land;
in every home and hamlet, and in
every house of worship, the peo-
pie Of the United States have come
to the altar of grief in humble
submission to the wisdom of Di-
vine Providence: "Thy will, not
ours, be done"

PROSPECTUS.
The Town of Wickliffe, KY.

WIcKLIFFE, KY, was founded IN 1880, twenty-one
years ago, and is thriving, prosperous town Of
16l inhabitants. 1t is the capital of Ballard County,
and boasts as intelligent class Of people as can be
found anywhere. The town has a National Bank,
rst-class Schools Hotels and diversity of mercan-
tile and other businesses.
The shipping facilities Of Wicklfe- are excellent,
1t being the Mississippi River at the head OF deep
water navigation six miles from Cairo, ILL.,, which is
on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers-thus giving 1t
access to the two largest waterways in the United
States.
Besides its facilities for shipping by river, 1t has
two great trunk lines Of railroads. the Mobile Ohio
and the Illinois Central which insure 1t the cheap
est freight rates.
The town is surrounded by fine farming country,
corn wheat and tobacco being the principal products
of the soil.

COUNTY SCHOOL MATTERS

If possible every teacher IN the
county should attend the meeting
of the Obion County Educational
Association at Glass tomorrow.
]. F. Bright, an old schoolmate
of the writer, one of the finest
mathematicians and best teachers
in the county, opened a splendid
school at Polk the first of the
month.
The Clivedale School, under the
direction of Miss Lou M. McDaniels,
a graduate of Peabody Normal, is
making splendid Roadway. Miss
McDaniels has an assistant, whose
name we have not yet learned.
The work on the public school
building is going on at a rapid
pace. The plasterers began work
Wednesday, the plumber is at work
and the walls are all up except
those of the tower and the room
connecting the main building and
the annex. Contractor Vaughn
contemplates putting on night
crew shortly, we understand, and
then the work will fairly fly.
County Superintendent Bynum
has been at Jackson all the week.
This will be Mr. Bynum's new field
of labor, and it is to be hoped that
he will be pleased with his new
work in the city schools of Jackson.
The teachers in the county, in ad-
vance, feel keenly the loss of their
able superintendent, whose place,
of course, will be filled, but by a
different personality, and you
know two personalities are never
the same.
When the mailing committee shall
have finished, one thousand copies
of the Nineteenth Annual Report
OF Union City Public Schools" will
be in the hands of people in and
about Union City. Now this is
distribution on large scale for
such as we. A persual of this re-
port will prove profitable not only to
citizens but people who have chill
dren to educate. We may proudly
say Union City has splendid sys-
tenn of graded schools. The book
will also prove helpful to teachers
in the county in grading classes,
and the course of study by quarters
furnishes good standard to go by
as the pupil progresses. Many of
the reports we're sent to neigh
boring towns to show what Union
City is doing.

NEW sTEpPINa-sroNEs.

The action of the Board of
Mayor and Aldermen, at its last
meeting, authorizing the placing
of an order for LOO stepping
stones for street-crossings, de-
serves more than a word of COM
ment. Of all the recent improve
ments, this is the most practical,
useful and economical. The old
boards, no matter how thick or
tough, soon become rotted and
warped. In the summer they form
regular dust pumps, and in the
winter they are covered with mud
slush. The stones are large, we'll
selected, and when laid will last
for a lifetime. The work will
then be complete, cutting off the
expense of new timbers and re-
pairs, and preventing any trouble
save that of occasionally raising a
stone. The two crossings already
laid have created many favorable
expressions, and, not leaving out
the midway leading to the Union
Station, we think the citizens are
ready to join in a vote of thanks
TO the Board and to Mr.. Reynolds
for the suggestion of these i'm
proyements.

This denotes the character of Judge
Swiggart's race as candidate for
Governor. His reputation as a
man of parts and man of honor,
equal to any in the State, finds
easy Judgment with the intelligence
Of all sections. He is also uni
versally admired in his own coun-
try, and before the canvass is we'll
begun we predict his name will be
