Mr.. Swank is making final proof on
his homestead these cold days.
Some few gathered at Sam Barnhart's
the other night for little jiggin'. They
report good pleasant time.
Livery day is like a wedding So
think those who are coming home from
Cando with petrifed nose.
The Barnharts say that last winter a
COW trail was running from Jackson's to
their place: but this winter there is a
COW trail running from their place to
Jackson's. Isn't that queer?
The winter school in the Twin Valley
school house No. l has pretty good at
tendance. The teacher is Miss Tom
Dough. What the patrons regret is that
they didn't get the school started two
months earlier. A barn is now being
erected by the school house where child
rem driving to school can keep their
horses, thereby saving the parents the
trouble of going back and foyth night
and morning.
The literary on Wednesday night was
equal to all expectations. The audience
filled the house we'll, and were held in
close attention till after eleven o'clock.
One, Mr.. Freaker proved himself to be
quite a genius in debate. His versa
tility surprised everybody. He was the
champion talker of the evening, and held
his opponents as well as the judges and
audience spellbound for long time.
The next subject for debate is that of
expansion for the United States; Mr..
Freaker leading for expansion, and a
bumptious quidnunc, whose name we
dare not mention will lead the negative.

Little Hope for the Beatrice.
(By the Associated Press


New York, Sept 22.-The New York,
agents of the fishing steamer Beatrice,
supposed to have been lost in the recent
hurricane, doubt the report received last
night that the steamer had arrived off
Delaware Bres kwater. They think that
the arrival at Norfolk of the British
steamer Beatrice, and which sailed yes
terday for Rotterdam, gave rise to the
report. kilograms have been sent to
Norfolk and Delaware Brealiwater by the
agents Of the Beatrice asking for some
confirmation of the report.
c.. r. Tuske, president of the Atlantic
Fisheries Company, said this afternoon
that he had ascertained positively that
the Beatrice is not at Delaware Break
water.

the bodies have come ashore if the Bea

where we have looked all along for bodies
and wreckage from the steamer to come

"Three more deputy sheriffs employed

criminals in the unlawful substitution OF
Chinese before the investigation now in

against them is said not to be conclusive,
but is sufficiently strong to warrant some

Parks Seems to be Their Jonah.
(By the Associated Press.)

Kansas City, Mo- Sept. 22.-Late to-
night the Credential Committee appointed
by President Buchanan of the Interna-
tional Structural Iron Workers, was still
in secret session, not having yet broken
the deadlock which it developed soon
after the beginning of its work at noon.
Just what question the committee is try
ing to settle is probematical, but it is
believed that the seating of Samuel Parks
and his friends of the rival delegation
from New York, is the most serious diff
Guilty which the committee has to CON
tend with. 1t is confidently believed that
the Credential Committee will be ready
to report when the convention meets in
the morning Parks at midnight stated
that the report of the Credential Commit
tee would be favorable to his delegation.
The anti-Parks delegates, while they
would not discuss the question as freely
as Parks did, discredited his claims.
A serious clash between the Parks and
anti-Parks faction was narrowly averted
in the billiard room of the Coates House,
Parks headquarters tonight. Delegate
Brohy, an anti-Parks man, was set upon
by a number of Parks followers, armed
with billiard cues, and he was forced to
hold his assailants at bay with his drawn
revolver until the police arrived. The

MISS BAYLE's SAD DEATH.
There is a Mystery---Was it Suicide, Accident
or Murder.
lBy the Associated Press

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 22.-Despondent
and disheartened over conditions, some
of which may never be known, Miss Olive
Rayle, sister of DR.. w. l.. Rayle, of Glen
vile, whose body was found badly crushed
and severed into several pieces on the
Lakeshore track, near Gordon Park early
today, threw herself in front of a passing
train or lay down on the tracks to await
death. This was the opinion of the 70
lice tonight after a day spent by the
entire detective force in attempting to
unravel the uncertainties which surround
the death of the young woman. Notwith-
standing their belief that the case is one
of suicide the police are still working on
it, and will continue to do so until
further effort in that direction seems use
less.
Miss Rayle came to this city from
Wellsville, Ohio, some time ago, to take
up the work of nursing with her brother,
who is physician, and entered training
school for nurses almost Immediately
upon her arrival. The only cause for self
destruction, if the death of the young
woman proves to have been such, is a
disappointment in love affair at Wells
VILE and this is also said to have been
the cause for Miss Rayle's leaving her
home city.

New York, Sept. 22.-Cardinal Gibbons
arrived here today on the Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse.
delegation of priests and laymen
from Baltimore went down the bay on
a revenue cutter to greet and welcome
him home. Among those heading the dele
cation was r. B. Tippet, of Baltimore,
supreme president of the Catholic Benevo-
lent Legion.
When the welcoming party boarded the
Kaiser Wilhelm off Quarantine, Mr. Tippet
made an address of. welcome to which the
Cardinal responded briefly, saying in part
You have been pleased to refer to the
date of my ordination. Those were dark
and troublesome days. My ordination was
almost coincident with the beginning of
the Civil War, and every fresh State that
left the Union brought a fresh pang to
my heart"
The Cardinal had pleasant voyage,
and he said the ocean trip had recuper-
ated his strength.
Of the new pontiff the Cardinal spoke
in terms of the greatest ENTHUSIASM. He
said that the choice of the conclave had
been most happy from an American view
point, as Plus X was deeply interested
in the development of the church IN this
country, and was singularly familiar with
American institutions. The Cardinal had
several lengthy interviews with the Pope
regarding church affairs in this country.
The Cardinal was not inclined to dis
cuss the probable policy of the new papal
regime. but said that no radical change
in American church administration would
ensue.
Concerning the probable relations be-
tween the new Pope and the Italian gov
eminent, Cardinal Gibbons said:
1.-The Pope as patriarch of Venice was
on very friendly terms with the King,
but what man does when he is mere
private in the ranks, so to speak, and
when he is elevated to power and respon-
slbility are wholly different things. What
Pope Plus will do in this matter is. of
course unknown. You may rely on It,
however, there will be no sudden change
These things are not done In way to
attract attention. If change does take
place it will be a gradual change; the
friendliness between the Vatican and the
Quirinal will grow
Asked about the possibility of another
American Cardinal being appointed, Card
inal Gibbons answered:
There will be another Cardinal 1t
would not surprise me to see the number
of American Cardinals augmented in the
near future, but there is absolutely no
truth in the cabled statement that the
Pope proposes to create patriarchate tor
the Occident. The statement is ridlcul-
ous.''
