ZINE Opportunities.

This is the season when the
rigor Of the winter drives the
man from the North South. He
may be in search Of health, he
may be looking for investment.
Anyhow he is here. Large par
ties are now taking advantage of
the rates offered by the railroads
to come South and these excur-
sions will continue throughout
the winter.
Why not bring some of them
to Columbus? All we have to do
to secure the location of manu-
featuring p lants and population
in Columbus is to bring the peO-
pie here Columbus with its
natural advantages does the rest.
This is shown conclusiyely by
the manufacturing concerns al
ready located here. The Kavan-
aughs. the Sanders. the Dodsons
and other manufacturers decid
ed on Columbus as soon as they
visited it and realized what fine
location it was, what a fine field
it presented for manufacturing
industries. Others will do the
same thing.
The Progressive Union did
magnificent work last sping it
can do better work now because
it will have better and more op-
portunities. While we are en-
crossed and occupied with our
own affairs would it not be a good
idea to rehabilitate that organi-
zation, put a good man in the
field whose efforts and time will
be employed in this direction. We
are confident it would be money
we'll invested and it would lay
the foundation for the establish
ment of many more industries
here in the coming year.
We must not be content with
what has already been accom-
plished. Good work has been
done but more must be Under
taken. Now is the time The
Union should reorganize sdd go
TO work at once.

The NJ. & O., with the passing
of the night trains on the Mont
gOmery division of its lines,
should arrange to give Columbus
a night connection with its main
line night trains. The volume of
traffic TO and from this city is too
large to be sacrificed and every
interest of this city demands
that these connections be made.
1t is a somewhat complicated
problem to figure out these con-
nections. without special trains,
but the magnitude and import
ance Of double daily service out
of this city makes it absolutely
necessary that it be done.

The Mayor s Court.

As Thanksgiving approaches
the affections of the negro al !
ways become recreant and his old |
love for chickens is replaced by
burning desire for turkey
meat. Away down in the heart
of Arthur Dooley. a dusky deni-
son of the coal chute neighbor-
hood. there has for some time D s.
been longing for the bird of
bronze plumage. and one night
last week he visited the prem
ises of Mr. d. L. Erwin and ap-
prOpriated one Of his fowls. The
matter was reported at police
headquarters aud an officer was
sent TO search D0Olev's house
The policeman failed TO find any
trace of the turkey. as the bird
had either been eaten or removed
to some other quarters. The Off
Ger found, however, that the ne
gro with the Irish cognomen had
a revolver on his person, and he
was arrested and locked up in the
city prison. Later he was tried
before Mayor Gunter on the
charge of carrying concealed
weapons. and was sentenced to
pay a fine of $1,000 ana TO serve
sixty days on the county farm.
Instead of picking d luscious tur-
key bone on Thanksgiving day
Dolly will probably join the rest
of the convicts on the county
farm in a good Old fashioned
country dinner of salt pork and
corn pone.

Some impostor has been going
around during the past week
representing himself as an in
spector from the city water de-
partment and asking the per
mission of house owners to ex-
anime their water CONNECTIONS.
The man, who has visited several
homes in the northern portion of
the city, has no connection what
ever with the municipal water de-
partment, aud his visits are evil
IDENTIFY made with some uu lawful
purpose in view. 1t has been
suggested that the man may be a
member of some gang of thieves
and that the object he has in
view is to obtain information
about houses that will make it
easy for them to be entered and
robbed. The police are on the
lookout for the man. and if they
can locate him he will be arrest
ed. In the meantime all parties
are warned against admitting
him to their premises.

BANKER LOST INA JUNGLE.
L. G. WettIing of Lincoln, Neb., Has
Thrilling Experience in Mexico.

Lincoln, Neb, July 16.-Louis G. Welt
ling, a banker, and c. f. Ross, bust
ness man, both of this city, have had a
thrilling adventure in Mexico, according
to adviceS received today from Vera
Cruz
The two men went to Mexico to buy
timber lands and cruise in canoe
their boat capsized and they lost their
provisions and extra clothing They mar
rowly escaped with their lives and in at
tempting to find their way out of a great
forest lost their way and wandered 81
hours with scarcely any food. When they
emerged from the jungle they found
themselves 100 miles from the starting
point. They were given food in a native
village and made their way to Vera
Cruz, where a chance meeting with
friends enabled Wettling to be identi-
fed at a Mexican bank.
This was fortunate for Wettling, who
was suspected of being an imposter as
he had not had a shave in days and his
clothing was out at elbows and knees as
a result of the strenuous trip in the jun
gle.

NINE TIMES IN PRISON.
Convict Begs Court to Send Him to
the Penitentiary.

New York, July 16.-With a record of
nine convictions and as many terms in
prison, George w. Johnson has appeal
ed to Police Magistrate Ommen for
refuge in the penitentiary because he is
unable to earn an honest living and
must either steal or starve. The mag
istrate granted Johnson's plea with the
proviso that he would send him to the
penitentiary in order to keep him from
temptation and in the meantime would
try to- find some work for the ex-con-
Wet where he would not be reminded of
his past.
Johnson is So years old and well edu-
Gated. In a long address to the court
he attributed his downfall to gambling.
After running through fortune left by
his father, he stole to secure the neces-
saries of life and was sent to prison for
five years. There he learned the trade
of shoemaker, but soon found he was
a marked man among fellow craftsmen
and could not retain a position. He was
driven again to steal and went through
the same experience nine times. john
son declared his experience, which he
told in detail, to be a common one
among ex-convicts, and said that, de-
spite his repeated failures he was de-
termined to live an honest life in fu-
tlre.

TOO STRENUOUS.
Efforts of Canada to Attract American
Settlers Is Resented.

Washington, July 16.-It is probable
that the intention of the British gov
eminent will be directed to a move
ment conducted officially by the Canad-
ian government to induce immigration
from the United States to the North
west territory. There can be no OBJ
lection to such offers on the part of
private immigration agencies, but wnen
as in this case the government itself
seeks to attract citizens of other coun-
tries the matter is one which calls
forth official remonstrance. 1t appears
that the Dominion department, through
one of it's assistant secretaries, has
been sending broadcast throughout the
northwestern states circular letters,
principally addressed to clergymen,
professional men and persons of in
fiuence describing in glowing terms
the splendid resources of the
Canadian northwest and inviting imm1-
grants by the offer of $50 acres of land
for each, free schools and sound laws.
Attention is especially invited to the
excellent church facilities.

CORMAN'S LETTER.
First Word from Maryland Senator
Since the Convention.

Baltimore. July Ex-senator German,
who has refused to see all interviewers
or newspaper men since the organiza-
ton of the ST. Louis convention, sent
today the following letter to members
of the Maryland delegation at StLouis ::
Dear Sir:-As L was deprived of the
pleasure of accompanying you to ST.
Louis 1 wish now to thank you for the
part you took as delegate from his
state in the convention. The course of
the Maryland delegation at St. Louis
could not, think, have been excelled
and they undoubtedly exercised great
influence in bringing about the result.
THE final action of Judge Parker in
sending his telegram giving his views
as to the monetary question and the
response of the convention to this tele-
gram have placed the Democratic party
in a position, where, with the ticket
nominated and the platform adopted
they should be successful in the coming
election.
Again thanking you for your person
al kindness to me 1 am yours very
truly A. P. GORMAN.''

TIME Is CUT DOWN.
Santa Fe Shopmen Will Work Less
at Ottawa.

Ottawa, Kan. July 16.-The Santa
Fe has cut the time down at the shops
to nine hours a day for five days in
the week. The order went into eff
feet Friday. Saturday will be a. holi-
day and only a few men will be at tn e
shops. The roads all over the country
have been cutting down on their time
this spring. The heavy floods and
Door prospects for crops have cut
down on the amount of business.
Then, too, it is thought that the
strikes on many of the railroads have
cut down the volume of trade consid-
erably. 1t has been thought for some
time that a cut would be necessary,
but the officials have been trying to
furnish work for the men full time.

Agricultural conditions are improv-

tural and the same is due, i'll his opln-
ion to the rotation in crops. Our farm

such as peas, clOvers, grasses, &c
which supply the nitrogen and MAKE

The Populist National Convention,
in session at Springfield, ILL.,, on Tues
day. nominated Thomas f. Watson,
of Georgia, for President, and Thomas
H. Tribbles, of Nebraska, for Vice
President. Whether Mr., Watson will
accept the nomination or not no one
in the convention could say and he
does not seem to know, "where he is
at" as he is quoted as saying, that If
the Democrats at st. Louis nominated
Hearst he would support him for
President. The ticket and its stand
ard bearer, however, are matters OF
very little concern, as neither are likely
to attract much attention or cut much
of a figure in the Presidential canvass
this year.

The Prohibitionists for some reason
declined to put General Miles at the
head of their ticket, but nominated in
stead of him one of their old war
horses, DR.. 5. c. Swallow, of Phila.
delphia. They of course, could not
expect TO win whoever the leader
might be, but it is important to them
and all who feel an interest in the
cause of temperance, that their clean
record heretofore should not be soiled
by giving the leadership to such man
as Miles. The temperance people OF
the country generally will congratu-
late them, though they cannot win
that their flag will not go down with
dishonor.
