Ravenna, o., Aug. 2s.-The "Wiz-

he will name the Ravenna delegates
to the Republican County nominating
convention to be held in this city on
September 6.
At the primaries held today, George
F. Douthitt overcame all the other
Ravenna candidates in the field.

ENTRANCE
To the Heart Of Gin

An Important Move by MandeI-
.,.., ..... baum Syndicate.

v. That the Mandelbaum syndicate
which controls the Southern Ohio Trac-
ton company, and the Cincinnati,
Dayton and Toledo Traction road will
soon have direct line into Cincinnati
grows more apparent day by day.
The syndicate now has its O., d. &
I. Line into the station on the south
side of Spring. Grove avenue at Linden
avenue and is operating cars out OF
there to Dayton over the Southern
Ohio from College Hill. The same
company owns the franchise to operate
the electric mule" on the canal bank.
Experts who have watched the con-
struction on this line say that it is
folly to suppose that the company is
putting in the fine roadbed and over
head construction simply for the pur-
pose of hauling canal boats by motor
power. III fact the company has al.
ready made application to the State
Board OF Public Works to allow it to
adjust the height of bridges across the
canal. They want to be allowed to
raise the bridges to such height as
will permit them to operate passenger
cars. NJ VI 's'~ :, las ~"

Because of the fact that the South

both standard gauge, it is hardly rea.
sonable to suppose that. either of then
will eyer be able to get into the hear,
of the city over the Cincinnati Trac
Company's Lines since all the trac.
is of a wider gauge. Hence it is rea.
sonablesto suppose that the connecting
link across the Millcreek opposite Lin

their track laid there and are read,

LARGE CASES
In Which Ex-Governor HoadIe '
Figured.

New York, Aug. 2s.-Soon after COM
pleting his duties as Governor, the late
George Hoadley, came to New York
March, 1887, and established the law
firm, Hoadley, Lauterbach & johnson.
From that that date Mr., Hoadley gave
his attention entirely to his profession.
His firm has been concerned chiefly
in cases of corporation litigation.
Among the important lawsuits in
which Mr.. Hoadley had been enga ged
is the Hooking Valley case, in which
the bondholders tried to cancel 3,OoO,-
900 worth of bonds, which they claimed
to have been unlawfully issued by the
Hooking Valley company for coal pro-
perty belonging to themselves. In the
Third Avenue cable litigation Mr..
Hoadley's firm was beaten five times,
but carrying hte case to the Court of
appeals won the six The right 10
use cables instead of horses for street
railways was established. Other i'm
portant cases are the Stevens will and
Sugar Trust cases. Mr.. Hoadley was
the legal representative of the Jeffer-
son Davis estate, and also of Mrs. Je.-
ferson Davis in her suit against the
Belford Publishing company.
Besides Mr.. Edward Lauterbach and
Mr.. Edgar NJ. Johnson, who had been
a partner for 27 years, Mr., William
N. Cohen and Mr.. Louis Adler were
associated with Mr.. Hoadley in the
practice of the law.

DUTIES
OF Truant Officer
Made Easier.
Not Obliged to Notify
Parents
That Children Must Be on Hand
at Opening Of Term.

Truant, Officer Chas A. Watson will
have an easier job this year at the be-
ginning of the term than he had last
fall. By an amendment Of the school
laws he is not obliged 10 serve notices
on parents who neglect to start their
children to school at the opening Of
the term. Parents Of children between
the ages of and IA, who neglect to
send such children on the first day will
be liable to arrest and fine Of not
less than So and costs.
Speaking of these matters, Officer
Watson said: 1.-THE last session Of the
Legislature amended the Compulsory
Education law so that it now requires
every parent, guardian, or other per-
son having charge Of any child be-
tween the ages of eight and fourteen
years to send such child to school at
the beginning Of the term and to keep
him there for the full time that the
public school is in session during the
term. $f
Under the former law, some par
ents neglected to place their children
in school at the opening Of the term,
and in many instances, failed to place
them there until the Truant Officer
served notices upon them to do so, or
suffer the penalty.
Under this law. as amended, any
parent, guardian, or other person hav-
ing~the care of a child between the
ages Of eight and fourteen years, who
shall fail to place said child in school
at the commencement Of the annual
term. shall, upon conviction, be fined
not less than Eve dollars, nor more
than twenty dollars, and upon the fail
urc or refusal of such parent, guar
dian, OF other person to pay said fine,
then such person shall be imprisoned
in the county jail not less than ten
days nor more than thirty days.

A Wrong Impression.

Many of our people are blaming
Major O'Brien because the forest
fire on Brush creek broke out
again. They think he should
have stayed here and fought fire
until the snow flew again. The
fact is. that the Major is in no
wise to blame. He Tsas sent mp
here, clear out of his district, es-
pecially to fight these fires. He
soon got them under control, so
that a few men could have patrol
ed the fires and kept them from
breaking out again. He then no.
tiGed the Department of the ne
cessity of employing men to do
patrol duty and asked for autbori-
ty to appoint three or four men to
do that work. This the Depart
ment denied him and there was
nothing for him to do but to go
back to his department and trust
to luck that the fires would not
break over the line. The smould-
ering fires were in the tops and
down timber of the old tie chop
pings, and an hundred men, en-
ployed for three months, would
not have been able to have ex-
tinguished them. The only thing
that could have been done was to
put a guard over them, to see that
they did not break over the line,
and allow them to burn away I'M
til they burned themselves out.
AS the Department refused to al
low Major O'Brien to establish
the guard, the Department and
not Major O'Brien is the one at
fault.

Clint Morgan was down from
the upper country last week. He
says Carey, his brother, and a boy
by the name of Ray Riggs, have
started a sheep camp Mt Copper
ton. Their herd is not very ex-
tensive as yet, consisting of some
10 OF 20 motherless lambs which
they have picked up during the
summer, Clint says hat the boys
have gotten so lazy they don't
like to have to get up to turn the
lambs out, so have attached a
spring arrangement TO an alarm
clock they have, then set the
alarm for the hour they want to
let the lambs out, and when the
alarm goes off the spring attach
ment opens the door of the sheep
pen, and the boys don't have to
bother themselves at all, at all.

Sought the Man.

1t cannot be charged that the
democratic candidates were seek
ing the nominations. As a mat
ter of fact the nomiation were just
simply seeking the candidates, and
looking mighty hard, too.
George L. Beck was a fifth or
sixth choice, such old war horses
as Hon. W. H. Holiday and ex-
Governor Osborne not caring to
spend time and money in pursuit
of a forlorn hope. And then those
gentlemen are reaping the reward
vonchsafed the people of America
for having rejected Bryan and
his vagaries. They actually have
no time to devote to pulling down
the structure that is holding them
up. Four more years of such bus
mess activity as they have enjoyed
during the past four and they will
be so rich that they will not care
to take a hand in destroying that
which made them.
Mr.. Clemmons, too. was chased
by the nomination. Ii they hadn't
hunted, it is doubtful if he would
ever have been discovered, for he
is extremely new in the state and
lacks the qualifications essential
for the proper discharge of the
duties of the office to which he
aspires. A congressman should
have an intimate knowledge of all
the affairs of his state and its PEG
pie. He should be versed in state
craft. The office of Mayor of
Saratoga may be a stepping stone,
but it is too big n jump from there
into congress. After awhile, q
century perhaps, Mr.. Clemmons
may be qualified, and then he will
receive more serious consideration.
In Mr.. Stickney's case, it is not
easy to say whether he was seek
ing the office or the Office seek
ing him. He has been bunting

quently. Hitherto, however, he
has not been heard from beyond
the limits of Albany county, and
here he has been noted only for
receiving the lowest vote of any
candidate on either ticket. We
have always thought Mr., Stickney
n real nice man, but must defer
to the judgment of the large ma
iority of the people of this coun-
ty. They have got on him two
or three times in a n that
has caused his most bitter enc
mics to shed sympathetic tears,
and they are again looking in his
direction in n menacing sort of a
way. But there is one thing
about Stickney. If he should by
any fuke of fortune receive more
votes than any other candidate on
his ticket, he will consider the
race a grand one and be Just as
happy over the result as he would
be if only defeated by two or three
thousand votes. 1t is a good
thing to be able to take defeat
gracefully. One is then in a much
" =.
better position to explain how it
all happened. We will watch the
vote for Mr.. Stickney and W.
Dean Hays (who ever heard of
him before?) with considerable
interest. For last place il will be
neck and neck between them.
And white investigating the
democratic aggregation, it would
not be a bad idea for the people
of Casper to tell us about this
man who has been placed in

A RICH COPPER
AND GOLD STRIKE.
Gold Hill the Scene Of Another valuabls
Find by a Mexican Sheep Herder-says
He has Three Foot Lsad-Loeality a
sscret-Lots Of Copper Planned From
the Ore.

Rumors have been coming to
town for the past week of a very
rich copper and gold find near
Gold Hill by a Mexican sheep
herder, who keeps the exact local
ity a secret. Mining men of that
camp, as well as many Saratoga
citizens, have been very feverish
over the matter on account of its
extreme richness, but they have
had to remain feverish, for the
Mexican would not give up his
secret, merely saying that it was
within a radius of two miles of
Gold Hill.
From o.. c. Blacken, who was
down from the hills last Saturday.
we learned MS much of the matter
as could be cleaned from the
Mexican, whose name Mr.. Black
en- could not remember. Mr..
Blacken had a piece of the ore,
taken from the surface and it was
rich in copper and showed by its
color to have come from the sur
face. Mr.. Blacken said he had
PANIED the rock and that it con-
tanned plenty of native copper
in fact was 50 rich that it almost
intoxicated them. The piece
shown here did not contain any
free gold, but Mr.. Blacken said he
had seen pieces in the possession
of the Mexican that showed native
copper nuggets IS large as a pin
head.
The Mexican claims that the
lead is three feet in width at the
surface, and that it can be plainly
traced for some distance. He
found the lead while out with his
sheep one day and proceeded to
stake OIL a claim. lie has promls-
ed to tell James Hicks, a mining
friend of his, where the lead is,
and give him the first show to
stake the extension of the lead.
Until this is done the prospectors
of hat region will contain them
selves with what patience they
can-and in the mean time they
will rake the country over in their
efforts to find this fabulous lead.
When men can e so much native
copper in rock, as in this instance,
the lead is worth locating, be it
but three inches instead of three
feet.
