THE WOOL CLIP
Marketed In Belle Center This
Spring Amounts to Over
$1,000 Pounds.

That Belle Center is an excellent
market is conclusively proven by the
fact that the wool bought by the two
firms amounts to over 1000 pounds.
OF this amount George Postle bought
81, 900 and Mack & Laughlin secured
over sc. 600 pounds. An average price
makes this crop the source of over
SO, 900 income to the sheep raisers of
this vicinity.
George Postle sold the wool he
bought in Bell Center and with what
he held an interest in at other towns,
making a total of 240, 900 pounds last
week. 1t will be shipped TO the East
ern market. Mack & Laughlin sold
to Detroit parties and it was shipped
to that place Tuesday.
The year 1908 will be- remembered
by sheep raisers as most successful
one for them, both in the size of the
clip and the prices received.-Belle

UNCLE SAM
Will Hold Colombia to Her
Bargain.

President Roosevelt Is quoted as
having declared to a representative
of the French Panama Canal COM
pany. that If Colombia continues to
balk, the canal will be built under
authority granted by the company's
charter, and with such protection by
American troops as may seem neces-
sary. Viii the people of this coun-
try are not disposed to use force
under ordinary circumstances. they
are behind the President to man in
this proposition.-O. s Journal.
The REPUBLICAN in its issue of May
Is advanced this idea. saying:
ssThe course of our Government to
pursue, is to go ahead-and complete
the Panama canal, whether the hand
full of Colombians agree or not
They agreed to the bargain, and oui
Government, on the strength of that
threw the Nicaragua project aside
and now If the Colombians go bacl
upon their agreement, they SHOULD
be held to II. It Is too vital a matter
for the United States to abandon it
and let some other Nation get hol'
of it. We cannot permit it. Our in
terests are far greater than Colon
bias can be, and we should not per

Patterson Commencement.

Educational Hall was well filed
Saturday afternoon to listen to exer-
cises of the Patterson Commence
ment." Fifty-six graduates occupied
seats in the Southwest corner and
made a pretty appearance. The
young girls were mostly in white or
or light colored dresses, and the
Young men in handsome new suits.
Nearly all were adorned with "class
colors." Macarthur township led in
numbers, and thirteen didn't seem to
be unlucky either, for one of their
number, Miss Mabel Fullerton was
presented with a fine scholarship for
the Ohio Normal University at Leba-
non, having made 81 points, the high
est number at the examination. Un-
ion township was second with her six
graduates, four boys and two girls.
Two of the graduates. Miss Rhoda
Adriance, of Lake township. and
Ralph Ross. of Macarthur, were pupils
of the Bellefontaine schools. The
diplomas received Saturday will en-
title them to free tuition.
The program and solos and duet by
Mr.. ]. w. Denny and DIR. c. N. Miles

No one can charge President Roose-
velt with desire to shield any of the
rascals who are being uncovered in
the postoffice steals. He is carrying
out the words of Grant, to ''let no
guilty man escape" He has taken
charge of the postal investigation
himself. The first trouble he had
was with a District Attorney, who
would rather fish than investigate
postal frauds. This officer is Morgan
b. Beach. The President called him
to the White House yesterday and
gave him an old-fashioued dressing
down. He told him that the fishing
would have to wait until the postal
cases were out of the way, and he
wanted him to give strict attention
to his duties before the grand jury,

The Greater and Continuous Pos
tai Frauds.
From the Worlds Work.

From the Worlds Work.
The definite criminal accusations
that we're made up to the time the
President returned to Washington,
and the charges preferred against
officials were enough to show a dis
graceful state of things. The most
conspicuous arrests and Indictment
for taking bribes was that of August
W. Machen, Superintendent of the
Free Delivery Division.
Now the loss of money involved (so
far) in these irregular, or criminal
transactions is trifie. The scan
dalous thing is the loss of character
by the men implicated. Yet there
are enormous losses in money suffered
by the Department through a kind
of fraud that is known to everybody
who knows anything about the work
ing of the Departments fraud that
goes on year after year and has be-
come almost sanctioned by custom
| "a fraud as large, perhaps, as
the annual deficit of the Department.
1t is the fraud that the Department
suffers in dealing with some of the
railroads.
At certain intervalsthe Govern
ment weighs the bulk mail that a
railroad carries, and a new contract
is based on this weight At tine time
when the weighing is done, some rail
road officials cause tons of mail
matter to be sent-mail-matter that
is perpared for the special purpose OF
making the average weight greater
which to all intents and purposes
is spurious Matchmaker. And the De
partment permits itself thus to be
imposed on. In such transactions a:
these, either fraud or incompetence
is apparent.
If the Post-office Department Is tc
be really reorganized, these venerable
and enormously costly abuses mus,
be discontinued. In comparison with
them, the pecuiatious of a few
corrupt officials, such as have yet
been made known, are almost in
appreciable.

II is rank foolishness to attempt TO remove

use OF cosmetics. or local treatment as ad-

safe and sure way that a woman can improve

Der wounded at a mine half a mile
south of Senacaville, Guernsey coun-
ty, Saturday, by the explosion of a
ton and a half of dynamite and l5O
kegs of powder. The dynamite and
powder were stored in frame build

we're to be used in blasting. Lightning
struck a walnut tree standing near
the mine. and fired the explosives.
The men killed, had taken refuge
from the rain, in a blacksmith shop,
that stood hundred yards from the
house where the explosives were

hill six hundred feet away. Nothing
was left of the tree but its roots, and
nothing was left of the house but a
hole ten feet deep and co feet in

Heroes of Ore0On.

When the history of American he
roes of the twentieth century is writ
ten, two names, Herman and Matlock,
must not be forgotten. The deeds of
these two men of Oregon have earned
them high places upon the roll of
honor.
Herman was station agent at Hepp-
ner, the little Western town all but
destroyed by flood. With the wall of
water almost upon him. he stuck to
his post long enough to send warn
ing of impending doom to Lexington.
As the last syllable of the message
clicked over the wire, not till then, he
thought of himself.
A friend had seized Kernan's two
children and had reached a place of
safety with them, but the wife had
remained at her husbands side. The
man who saved the people of Lexing-
ton and the woman who stood by
him until his great work was done,
were swept down to death.
| No less a hero is Leslie Matlock.
AS the first swell of the food reached
Heppner he leaped upon his horse
and galloped madly down the valley
toward Lexington. 1t was a race
with death, and this second Paul Re
we're was the winner. He reached
Lexington in time to confirm Ker
mans first warning, and sent the peo
pie flying to the hills.
But Matlock's work was not ye
done. His horse fell dead as h
spurred out of Lexington. on dow
the valley. He secured a fresl
mount, and, shouting his warning t.
