Two Big Deals.

The Standard Oil Co. has closed it's
deal with Col. Carpenter, whereby it
secures six acres of the Carpenter land
north of town at the rate OF S4OC per
acre. The Standard people will at
once proceed to put up large tanks
thereon and the next move Will be to
erect a refinery.
VIM. Grouse has sold his 255-acre
farm, three miles north east Of town.
to the Southwestern Oil Co. for 500
Der acre. Mr.. Grouse will be well liked
for the remainder of his days.
These sales indicate that men ex-
perienced in the business have faith
in our oil field. The big pottery COM
pauy is still prospecting south of town
with view of large Investments, aud
negotiations are progressing with the
large refinery prospected north of
town. Ere long we expect to be able
TO report the location of both these
mammoth concerns.

Fred Roemer, jr., eldest son of Fred
Roemer, ST., prominent business
man of this city for many years, died
early yesterday morning at the home
of his father, on Main street.
Fred was born IN Michigan, July II,
1872. hence was almost 80 years old.
He has grown to manhood in this
town and has always been kind, or
derly, hardworking boy; always at his
post and always obliging and agree
able.
Fred got hurt IN the side last fall
some time by fall. ard has not been
in robust health since, but his unex-
pected death comes to this community
with a shock. He was well and favor
ably known by almost everyone. not
only in the city, Lut in the surround
ing country. There is scarcely a
young man in the city that would be
generally missed like Fred.
The sympathies of the whole CON-
munity are extended to his parents
and brother and sisters.
The remains will be buried in Elm
wood cemetery this afternoon 10y the
Knights of Pythlas.

NOT SATISFIED.

Pop Ridgley is not yet satisfied
with his efforts to.turn the Populist
party, body and breeches, over to
the Democrats.
Notwithstanding that proposition
has been settled by state conven-
ton, and he has now called the Pop
ulist committee together to talk the
matter over with the Democratic
committee. Ridgley wants to run
for congress in the Third district
and he wants to awful bad. He is
willing to wipe out the Populist par
ty in the state entirely if he can just
get another show for congress.
Rldgely cares not for his former
friends if he can just get back to
congress where he SO gloriously dis
tinguished himself.

BRITISH REVERSE.

A column of British, about 1900
strong, commanded by Gen, Me
thuen was attacked while on the
march to JOIN large body of Brit
ish troops, just before daylight, by
a troop of Beers, commanded by
Gen. Delarey.
The British seem to have been
taken entirely by surprise and were
completely routed. About 200 of
them were killed and wounded and
several hundred were made prison
ers. Gen. Methuen was himself
wounded and captured. The news
has greatly depressed the English.
Instead of the war being over it
seems to be right at the hottest

Meanwhile the Schools Suffer.

Our school board held another of its
very interesting sessions last Monday
night. The big majority on the West
side insisted on fighting the injunc'
tion suit and forcing the erection of
an eght-room building in the Third
ward, when even they themselves ad-
NIT it is not needed.
Not one of the members will claim
that an eight.room proposition would
have carried before the people.
We supposed, in the start, that this
proposition was only bluff and would
be recalled. But it now develops that
a majority of the board is determined
to fight the proposition through and
needlessly appropriate a much larger
portion of the money to the Third
ward than it is entitled to or needs,
and more than was contemplated by
the bond proposition.
We had hoped to see some new
school buildings this year, but ii our
friends on the West side are deter
mined to act in this unfair way and
try to defeat the will of the people as
expressed by their vote, simply be-
cause they think they have the power,
the courts must be resorted to, and no
man knows where will be the end.

Bright Outlook for Wells.

Seth Wells is the leading candi-
date for state auditor. He will go
into the convention with more posi-
tive strength on the first ballot than
any other man for the place, if he
does not have a majority oyer all.
1t is stated by those who are in a
position to know that he will have
more strength in the convention
than any other man for any place.
The great fight in the convention
will be on the governorship. The
big politicians of the state are lin
ing up on the governorship, and
every other place on the ticket will
be secondary to that. Combinations
on the other places will be formed
to strengthen the various candidates
for governor. Seth will doubtless
have to fall in line with one or the
other of these alignments. If he is
beaten for the place he desires, it
will be because he gets into the
wrong band wagon.
Seth Wells is equipped for the
fight Just as well as his county could
equip him. Neoshc county has felt
for long time that she was entitled
to representation on the state ticket
and has thrown her undivided sup
port to Seth Wells for auditor. She
allowed him to select his own dele
gates to both the state and congress
sional conventions. They are all
strong men and experienced in po
litical matters, many OF them OF
wide acquain ance in the state, and
all for Seth Wells, first, last and all
the time. They have no axes to
grind, nor personal animoslt,es or
ambitions to subserve. They are
friendly to all candidates but tied to
none but Seth Wells.
Seth has a fight before him, but
the outlook now is that he will win.
Neosho county and the entire Third
district are behind him. Seth should
be nominated for this place. He is
honest, earnest and capable. For
years he has been on the firing line
in all our political battles and has
never flinched. He is recognized
as the organizer and pacifier in
Neosho county politics.

THE ERIE CONVENTION.

The Republican convention OF
Neosho county was held at Erie
last Monday. The convention or
ganized by electing l.. S. Cambern

tary.

appointed:
Resolutions-H G Lowrance, John
@. Carpenter, j. NJ. Nation, l.. G. ii.

Order OF Business-R. N. Allen, c.
N. Bacon, j. M. Boyle.
There was large attendance of
delegates and workers from all
parts of the county. While the
committees were out preparing their
reports, George Wheatley was call
ed upon to entertain the convention.
George was enthusiastically receiv-
ed. He did not attempt to make
speech, but made very pleasant
little talk.
The convention was di,tinctively ly
a Seth Wells convention. The feel
ing seemed to be to give Seth full
rein and let him have everything
lust his own way. A motion was
made that he be allowed to name
the delegations to both state and
congressional conventions, which
was carried without dissenting
vote. Mr.. Wells then made very
nice little talk to the convention,
heartily thanking them for cour-
tesies extended.
The delegates reported by Mr..
Wells for the state and congresslon-
al conventions were:

Demands.


Philadelphia, Nov. 17.-Thirty-five
thousand textile operatives in 800 mills

their employers for a reduction of
their hours of albor from 60 to 55 a

cision. 1t was said today that the de-
mand will be submitted to manufac-
turers not later than January 1.
The action of the conference will be
reported to each individual union by
the delegates at their meetings this

II delegates which will meet the leg
islative and the organization commit
tees of the Central Textile union. At
this meeting written demands will be
prepared, and the exact time for sub.
mitting them to the operators will be
decided upon.
