Winans Hull of Carbondale, Pa,
is in Jail at Honesdale charged with
having killed Edwin Schoonover
near Lake Lodore in Wayne county
June 26. The two attended picnic
there that day and wers both intox-
icated. They were last seen togeth-
er going toward the place where
Schoonover's body WAS found week
later. He having failed to return
to his home in Scranton after the
picnic, search was instigated which
resulted in showing that he was last
seen in company with Hull at the
lake and that Hull after returning
home the day of the disappearance
had the next day left leaving no in
timation of his intentions. He was
however found near Moscow, on the
D., L. & w. railroad, Monday where
he was visiting relative, arrested
and charged with the murder which
he deniod having committed
Schoonover had been stabbed in the
neck and abdomen and blood was
found on Hull's coat when he was
arrested. He was seen also to have
blood on his shirt and clothing the
day of the murder after it was com.
mitted, which he explained by say
ing he had been in an affray with a
Honesdale man. Schoonover had
considerable money in his posses
sion and a watch and chain all of
which was missing when his body
was found, and it was said Hull had
offered one for sale, but no money
was found on his person when ar
rested.

Origin of "whie.p

Several reasons have been assign
ed to account for the word "Whig'
universally known to all the Eng
lish speaking people. By some the
word is supposed to be contraction
Of a longer one, "whiggamore, "
which in some parts of England and
Scotland, especially Scotland, signi-
fies a drover or herder.
1t was in 1879 that the word first
became common in the British isles,
when the struggle was in progress
between the peasantry and the
aristocracy to have or not to have
the bill passed by parliament to ex-
clude the Duke of York from the
line Of succession. All who were
opposed to placing the duke in the
line of succession were derisively
called "whiggamores'' or "drovers. -
just as the city dude of today speaks
of the ''grangers, the ''graYs, the
"chin whiskers" and the ebay
seeders."
But Scotch tradition gives alto.
gether a different reason for the ex-
istence of the word It's this Dur
ing the early religious wars in Scot
land the weakest of the factions
used the words "We Hope In God
as a motto. The initials of these
words were placed on their banner;
thus "W. II. 1. G., >" aud soon all
the followers Of that clan were given
the title of "Whig," which was af-
terward attached as a party nick
name.

Representative Mudd Of Maryland
thinks the republicans will be able
to elect Senator Wellington's sue
cessor. His friends think he has a
chance to be the man. He said :
1.-THE legislature is now republican.
A portion of the senate and all of
the house will step down. The
democrats will have n slight advaD-
tage in the number OF hold-overs in
the senate, but the chances are in
our favor Notwithstanding the new
ballot law, the object of which is
acknowledgements of illiterates. In
every county in the state republi-
cans are waging an educational
campaign, and by ballot time many
of these now practically disfran-
ohised will know how to mark the
tickets. The difficulty confronting
republicans is not as great as we
anticipate. Although the matter of
the republican candidate for the
senate has taken no definite shape
as yet, the convention which will
meet in Baltimore August will not
instruct. The republican policy has
been against instruction. It is
thought to be better to suppress
agitation along that line until after
the election.

A Serious smash.up

Wednesday night as parties were
returning from the dance at Ray
nondskill, just as they emerged
from Mott street they were met by
a wagon driven at rapid rate by
H. G. Clark of Huntsville, N. j.,
with two companions, which came
in collision first with a wagon con-
taing the musicians. Both vehicles
we're badly damaged and Clark's
horse breaking loose plunged into a
team just in the rear driven by John
Daumann, injuring him and also
Milo Gibbons who received a Sc.
we're cut over one of his eyes.
Clark had his collar bone broken
and altogether it was a serious mix
mp and will be quite expensive fol
some one.

Postmaster General Smith, hnv-
ing had his idea of thorough re-
vision of the rules regulating second
class mail matter approved by Pres
ident Mckinley and his fellow mem
bers of the cabinet, is giving his
personal attention to the revision
and his long experience in the news
paper business has fitted him to DO
the work we'll. 1t is not intended
that II single legitimate publication
shall be hurt by this revision, but
the many fake publications, which
have been enabled to make money
solely because they have been al
lowed to send their papers and
books through the mails at one cent
n pound instead of eight cents a
pound, which they are likely TO
have to pay under the new regula-
tions, will be hit hard and there is
no doubt of their deserving to be
hit hard. The postmaster general
has received many assurances Of
support in his effort to save many
million dollars by shutting out Of
second class mail privileges publica-
tions that should not be entitled to
them, from prominent editors of
papers of false political shades, and
he is confident that his action will
be supported by practically all of
the legitimate papers and period
icals of the country, not only be
cause it will save a lot of money
the revenue from second class mail
is less than "a, 900, 600 a year, while
it costs $50, 900, 900 yeai-but be-
cause every legitimate publisher is
interested in shutting out fake pub
lications.

The sign board at the top of Mil
ford hill, where the roads part,
should be more descriptive. It is
an important point for travellers
and the sign should be prominent
and contain more explicit directions,
showing which road leads to various.
places, as for instance to Greeley.
Rowlands, Lackawaxen, Blooming
Grove, etc. All sign boards should
contain reasonably full directions to
the several points to which tho
roads most directly lead. They are
to inform strangers and they should
not be left guessing aJ a GROSS road.

Hats for Horses.

The Washington Humane Society
has been advocating the bonneting of
draught horses, and has been so far
successful that most Of the horses
used by large business firms in that
city are now going about with bon
nets on their heads. The headgear
in question is of straw, shaped like a
farmers hat, with two holes for the
ears of the horse, and a brim wide
enough to shade the eyes. 1t is tied
neatly under the throat and may or
may not have damp sponge in the
crown to keep the head of the ami
NAL cool.
The old-fashioned farmer may
be inclined to laugh at this innova-
tiOn, and declare that when he has
any old hats to throw away he will
put them on his scarecrows, but, af-
ter all, it is cheaper to buy a ten cent
hat (aetual cost than to convey the
horse to the stable when it has a sun
stroke, and such an occurrence is by
no means uncommon in any city dur
ing the hottest part ofa summer day.
The hat will last for a considerable
time, not being likely to go out of
fashion or blow into the river, and it
may save serious injury to a valuable
animal.
From a purely economic point of
view it may be argued, therefore,
that if the nervous strain on the horse
in city or on the farm can be lessen
ed, he will last longer and do more
work. 1t is not necessary to dwell
upon his sufferings if no steps are
taken to make him comfortable, for
the subject is rather a painful one,
and the economic argument alone is
enough. A horse is very much like
a man i'm his inclinations and capa-
bilities. If he is cOntented and free
from nervous worry he will work
hard and not feel it half as much as
if he is continually harassed by petty
torments. Horsemen know how
quickly the temper of a horse is spoil
ed by teasing; and all of the things
that irritate, worry, torment and
madden anything that has nerves,
intense heat is perhaps the most eff
fective. 1t was once said that the
temperature of the internal regions
would alone account for the character
of their ruler if he had to live there
all the year round. Heat in the
crowded and noisy streets of a city,
beating down upon the unprotected
head of a horse or man, causes in a
limited number of cases, fatal pros
tration, and i'm numerous instances,
induces exhaustion, nervousness, ir-
ritability, bad temper, and loss of
vitality. When the horse wears a
hat these evils are to some extent
averted. The hat is good invest
ment and farmers might save their
beasts much suffering and themselves
loss and annoyance by adopting this
protection, both from the sun and
tormenting little gnats, which are
likely to swarm around a hOrse's ears
at this season.

Regret over the resignation of
Mr.. Charles G. Dawes as comptrol-
Ter of the currency, which has been
tendered to take effect Oct. 1, is by
no means confined to official circles.
He has filled a difficult position in q
manner highly creditable to himself
and satisfactory to the business
world, but in Wow Of the fact til Mt
he purposes beginning an active
canvass for a seat in the senate
early in the fall, it is felt that his
course in resigning was wise. The
talk about his being the administrU-
tion candidate for the senate Is
ridiculous. The administration has
no candidate for the senate in
Illinois or any other state.
