The Old Soldier.

A few days ago, an old soldier, ther
in our Office said that he intended yot
ing for Greer because-he Greer was an
old soldier. that that they were trying
to push the old soldier aside" ETC.; but
we reminded this old soldier that Greer
had been well repaid for all he had
ever done by being kept in Office fo1
twenty-seven years.
On the other hand Greer has shown
but little regard for his former com
rades. There are several old soldiers in
this town and county to whom the
Court Crier-ship at 800 day would
have been a godsend, but Greer has
preferred keeping Bert Hockenberry, q
young and comparatively wealthy man,
in the place for now nearly ten years
perhaps because Bert carries the vote
of Cherry twp. in his vest pocket"
Then again Greer lately turned down
James A. McMarlin. needy old soldier
for County Detective, after McMarlin
had been recommended for the place by
the District Attorney
And then again, it is but few years
since an old soldier cursed Greer all the
way from Butler to California. alleging
that he Greer had ruined his home.
Greer seems to love the old soldier az
he loves everybody else, for his vote
alone and IL the old soldiers Of this
county will compare notes we think
they will come to the conclusion that ii
Is not TO their best interest nor the best
interests Of this community that the
trust now In the hands OF J. M. Greer
be allowed TO remain there.
WHEE the strongest supporter of
Charles the First heard that his King
had signed his death warrant he quoted
the line Put not your trust in Princes
and now Quay's followers are learn

POLITICAL.


You can quote me as saying that
Mr.. Elkin will not be nominated for
governor
This was Senator Qusys emphatic
statement at Washington, Monday
night, in answer to an inquiry as 10
whether the declaration of various state
officials that they would sink or swim
with the attorney general improved
Elkin's chances for the nomination.
At the district convention in Luzerne
Co. Monday, Elkin's friends had every
thing their own way and secured several
delegates for their favorite for Cover
nor. At the Wilkes Barre convention,
when the ballot was counted it was
found that the Elkin candidates had 26
votes to their opponents "a The result
was received with the greatest enthusi-
asm by the Elkin forces. who threw
their hats in the air and cheered until
they were hoarse.
Where is Quay nowY' yelled many
in the hall. The local supporters of
Elkin sent him many congratulatory
kilograms.
On Tuesday, Durham, the Philadel-
phia boss wired from Hot Springs. Va.
Every man in the Philadelphia delega-
ton will be against Elkin."
But the most serious feature of the
situation now is the strong disposition
by the Elkin men to open fire on Sena-
tor Penrose and to take the ground that
if Elkin is to sink instead OF swimming,
Penrose shall sink with him. In view
Of the reason given out that Elkin had
to be sacrificed in order to save" Pen
rose. the present turn in affairs has
made a break in the stalwart lines much
more ugly than Quay himself seems to
have calculated on as a consequence OF
the great throw down. philadelphia
Bulletin.
"Sibley, the Spectacular" was reported
yesterday, to be Quay's favorite for
Governor.
A FEW weeks ago we published plain
statement of the circumstances leading
up to Greer's nomination and election
ten years ago; naming the men from
whom we received our information -
which, of itself, challenged public deni-

ty in it's issue Of the following week de-
scribed this article as IAN editorial tt

Such language as this towards plain
strtement Of facts, void of all personal

and his friends will go to for adjectives
and strong language provided some
facts about him which the public should
know, are published.

DR.. MARY WALKER
:COMES TO The RESCUE
Cha mpions Mrs. Roland 3.
Molineux in Her Suit for
Divorces.

Sioux Falls. Dec. 10. The well
known advocate of dress reform for
women, Dr. Mary Walker, has come
forth as a champion of Mrs. Roland
b Molineux, who arrived here from
New York a little over three weeks
ago and took up her residence for the
purpose of securing a divorce.
pr. Walkers sympathy evidently
has been aroused by the reported treat
ment OF Mrs. MolineuX in this city.
Dr. Walker writes as follows:
"Will you say to the women of Sioux
Falls that all humane women will ap.
preciate them if those outside OF Mrs
Blanche MolincuN's hotel will share q
little sisterly kindness by calling on
her What she has suffered as the
wife of wronged man they or their
daughters sometimes suffer. Why shs
desires q divorce is her own secret
ami polite persons will not inquire.

GLASS PLANT BURNED.
Fostoria Specially Company's
Heavy loss--Stood on Un.
lucky Spot.

Fostoria, O., Dec. 1O.-This morning
Mt 8 o'clock the main building Of the
Fostoria Glass Speciality company
caught fire, and in few minutes all
the remaining ones were ablaze. The
entire plant was destroyed and the
loss will amount to over $4,000. On.
ly $4,000 Of this amount is covered
with insurance. The plant was a new
one, the company having started in
business only a few months ago. One
hundred and fifty men were employed
in the plant. all of whom will be
thrown out of employment. The
stockholders as whole are Fostori-
ans, and great many of the work.
ingmen were residents of this city.
Therefore, the loss will be a heavy
one, not only to the company but also
to the city.
The spot on which this plant was
built seems to be an unlucky one, as
this is the third fire that has occur.
red On this site In the last few years.
All of the fires have been total losses.

RAILROADS
RAISE RATES
Ore and Finished Products viii Under
go Freight Rate Advance Of
8 Per Cent.
IMPORTANT Meeting AT PTTTSBURC.

Coke rates into and out of the Pitts
burg region are to advance per cent.
Rates on ore and finished product out
Of the Pittsburg district and into Pitts
burg from the lake region are to in.
crease in like ratio. says the Pitts.
burg Dispatch.
That is the result in brief of con-
fererce held in secret in PittsbuIg yes
terday by high officials of the Penn
sylvania railroad, the Pennsylvania
lines west. the Baltimore & Ohio. the
Erie, the Lake Shore. the New York
Central and the Pittsburg & Lake
Erie.
The decision. the railroad men de-
clare is irrevocable. The visiting off,
cials left in the early evening for the
East end committee was already al
work last night on the new rate sched-
lle. The date when the advance be-
comes operative is left entirely with
the committee. 1t will probably be
put in effect the first of The year.
The question of increased rates OH
grain from the West, already ordered
by the associated roads, was ,liscus-
sed at the meeting, but no decisive ac-
ton was taken.
Years ago we paid SIT a ton for
steel rails" said one of the railroad
men at yesterdays meeting Just before
he boarded the train. Nov we pay
$27 ton and charge 2T per cent. less
for hauling the iron manufacturers
freight. You may find some argu.
ment in the coming change in those
figures"
The statement was made some time
since that the change was coming, but
was contradicted But rates on rail.
road fuel have advanced recently, and
iron and steel products will, it has been
stated, soar still higher in price with
the first of January. So the railroads
will fellow suit.
Yesterdays meeting was held in the
Offices of Joseph Wood, second vice
president of the Pennsylvania lines
west of Pittsburg. At it's close the
eastern officials Immediately departed
in private car for Youngstown en-
route to Cleveland and home.
