TWO TOUGH
LOOKING CHAPS
WERE LODGED in uNioNToMiyQ
JAIL CHARGED WITH HORSE
STEALING.
(By Publishers Press

CoNNELLSvILLE, Pa, Oct. 81
With six men pointing as many Win
schesters at their heads, John Lynn
and James McGnnis, aged 20 and
Is years, were arrested this morning
by Constable Carson, of Perry town
ship, about two miles out of Perryo-
polls, for alleged horse stealing. The
men were lodged in the county Jail
at Uniontown. and are the toughest
in appearance ever brought to the
county seat. When arrested the men
had two rigs in their possession, said
to have been stolen, while Constable
Carson says he can connect them
with several similar thefts. Lynn is
credited with telling the officer
thatif he had attempted to make the
arrest alone he would not have been
there to tell the story They also
boosted that they would escape.

SENATOR WILLIAM ]. STONE.

The New York papers award to
Senator William ]. Stone the credit
fer having secured the selection of
Louis as the National Democratic
convention. Mayor Rolla Wells, of
st. Louis, declares that the selection
OF st. Louis was unquestionably due
to the senator's efforts. The same
view is expressed by practically all
who are cognizant OF the facts. There
is one remarkable exception to this
just award OF honor, and that is the
press OF st. Louis. 1t is strangely
silent upon the subject, as it is also
upon the admitted fact that the ,ea-
ator stands apparently the best pros
pect at this time OF being selected
chairman OF the National Democratic
committee.
This is neither justice nor journal
ism. However much the st Louis
newspapers may oppose Senator
Stone they cannot destroy him by
this effort to snub or suppress him
The result will be the opposite, to
help instead OF hurt him. The peo-
pie have = way OF getting at the facts
and of doing justice in spite of news
papers. Nothing so quickly boosts
man or discredits journalism as an
exhibition OF personal spite even to Il
suppression OF the news.
There has been much unjust and
malevolent warfare made upon Sena.
tor Stone, and il it is kept up, it will
surely iniure to his benefit rather than
to his iniury.-Columbia Herald.
The Herald speaks truly and to the
point. The treatment OF Senator
Stone by the metropolitan press Of
this state has been outrageously un
fair and has made him friends with
Just and fair-miRded men. Senator
Stone is one Of the big men Of the
nation and the personal warfare
waged by the press of st. Louis will
not detract from his greatness, but
shows their own littleness.

Bates County Has One.

The State Board of Agriculture
has discovered that nearly every
county in the state is blessed with
mineral springs and health resorts
During the past year Doctor Det-
weller. bacteriologist to the State
Board of Health, has been called up
on to make chemical analysis OF the
water from several of these springs,
and be has expressed great surprise
at the number and value OF the min
eral springs in the State. Samples
OF the water from these springs ac-
companied with chemical analysis
will form part Of the exhibit Of the
State Board OF Health at the World
Fair.
In the list OF counties giving min
eral springs OF merit, Boulware
springs is named for Bates county
These springs are located three OF
| four miles south OF Butler in q very
romantic and picturesque place. l,
has been predicted for years that thu
undoubted merit OF the water from
| this mineral spring would be some
day appreciated and it become {
noted health resort.

Tie ST. Louis GlobADemocrat
states that / Il. Musgrave. OF Ash
Grove, reports that he has visited
70 OF the III counties in the stat.,
and says he finds sentiment in the
Democratic party TO be against Sam
B. Cook for Secretary of State. AZ
Mr.. Musgrave 10 candidate for the
same office Mr.. Cook is running for,
and expects to submit his claims TO
the Democratic state convention, it
is stsnnge he should select the lying
Globe Democrat to publish his dis
coveries of a party nature. 1t is
hardly possible that Mr.. Musgrave
made any such, statement to the
Globe Democrat, as every Democrat
who is familiar with political affairs
in this state knows the report is un-
true. II there is any continent" in
tho Democratic party in this state
against Mr.. Cook it must he confined
10 but few democrats and in but q
lew counties. Indeed there is no rea-
son why Democratic sentiment
should be against Mr.. Cook. He ID
known to be thoroughly honest, has
made very efficient Secretary oi
State, and he 10 a democrat without
sifs." lands. or butts, and he does
not depend upon lying Republican
papers to boom his candidacy.-Clin
