TOUR OF
INSPECTION.
Macarthur Enquirer.l


+. b. Bingham, of Toledo, and
5. 4. Green, of New York City,
were here last week and drove all
over the country in the vicinity Of
Pratsville, Zaleski, Vinton Furnace
and other points where Mr.. Bing-
ham has large tracks Of laud op,
toned. We learn that Mr.. Green
was well pleased with the coal,
clay and the general appearance
of the country and it looks very
much like the land would sell.
If the Eastern Company decides
to take the land optioned, we
understand that as a part of the
scheme the Columbus and South
ern Railroad will be extended from
S. Bloomingyille both north and
south. The southern extension
would pass through Jackson town
ship, Macarthur, Lone Star by the
way of Minerton to the river at
Ironton with branch from Vim
ton Furnace to Zaleski A coal
washery, brick plants :and plants
for manufacture of various clay
produce will be loca ted at Vinton
Furnace.
We do not believe we are put
ting 1t to strong when we say that
there is no better coal field in Ohio
than that through which the pro-
posed road would pass. In addit.
ion to coal the country rich in iron
ore and clays of all kinds. There
is no place in the country where
fine brick and earthen wares of
various kinds could be made
cheaper than in this part of the
state, where the clay aud coal are
both found in the same hills.
The farmers along the line of the
proposed road should not render
it impossible for the company to
build it by charging three times
what tho lands Is worth that the
company will need for right of
way. Farmers should encourage
the building of the road so that
their coal fields clay products and
ores could be developed.

Rules to Be Observed In Cooking vsss-
tables.

Onions should always be boiled in
hard water, salted,- because they lose
much OF their flavor and aroma II
boiled.i in pure soft water.
String beans usually need to boil
forty-fye minutes. The addition of
small bit of salt pork will general
ly minimize any rank favor and will
improve them. When done drain
thoroughly, season with salt, pepper
and butter.
Turnips, carrots, cabbage and on
ions should be boiled in great deal
of water and taken up Immediately
and drained when sufficiently done.
Overcooking destroys the taste, and
too little water will allow them to
turn dark in color.
A very little sugar added to toma-
toes, squash, peas, corn, beets and
turnips will improve them.
Turnips will cook more quickly
when cut into thin slices; otherwise
they will need to cook long time.
Caulihowers should be tied in a
net to prevent boiling to pieces.

HOUSE
CRUSHED.

Pomeroy, o., Feb. l3.--Skortly
after dark yesterday evening a
huge rock fell from the cliff over
hanging this city with a crash
Turning over three or four times
it struck the residence of Mrs.
Adam Darling driving one-half of
1t into the earth and shattering
the other half into kindling.
In the house at the time were
Mrs. Darling, an aged woman, her
daughter, Mrs. Marion II. Scott,

manager of the Pittsburg Leader,

Mrs. Coins was badly cut and
bruised by falling tlmbers, Mrs.
Darling was slightly hurt about
the head, while Mrs. Scott escap-
ed without injury.
The main rock which fell a dis
tance of 200 feet, is as large as an
eight room house, and would
weigh probably 600 tons. A half
dozen smaller ones also fell, but
the damage was all done by the
larger rock. The inmates escaped
from the building without assist
ance. The fire department. prevent
ed the spread Of the aames from
the overturned fireplace.

not use it on any account, claiming
that it Injuries the polish on the fur

To Avoid Taking Cold.

Stop worrying about disease
germs, which you cannot escape any
how, and fortify your system against
them by hardening processes. Keep
the feet dry and avoid sitting in
drafts when heated. Harden the
body by reasonable exposure to cold
air and cold water. Then you will
never have a cold, and the grip and
pneumonia germs will never bother
YOU

FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
How to Perform an interesting Trick
With Dice.

With Dice.
Here is a clever trick which may
be performed with an ordinary dice
box and three dice: Place the dice
and box on table and request one
of the company to throw the dice.
While he is doing this you must
turn your back to the table so that
it is evident that you cannot see
what he throws. Tell him TO re-
member carefully now many spots
he has thrown.
Then, reaching back with your
hand, but without turning around,
pick up one of the dee, turn up the
side which rested on the table, have
the number on that side added to
the number which the thrower made
in his first throw. Now tell him to
put the dice which you hold in your
hand into the box and throw it
again and add that also TO his count.
You now turn around, count the up
permost spots on the dice as they
lay, add seven and announce the
sum, which will exactly tally with
the count made by the person who
threw the dice.
This seeming example of second
sight may be clearly explained by
the following example: Suppose the
first throw TO consist of 5, 1 and /,
altogether 10. Pick up the 4 and
turn the bottom up, which is 8.
This makes the count l3. This dice
is again thrown and turns up a 6,
making 10 in all. On turning
around YOU see on the table 5, and
6-that is, II spots. Add Z and the
result is also 10, the sought for
number. This trick depends upon
the very simple but little noted fact
that the two opposite sides of dice
always count seven.

ALBERT
DOUGLAS.
Is the Fellow That We Will
Defeat.
GROSyENOR OUSTED.
The Gangs and Hirelings
Dump the Old General.

Lancaster, o., Feb. 21.--Albert
Douglas, of Chillicothe, was NOM
mated for Congress from tn e
Eleventh District Of Ohio on the
first ballot. The political career
of Hon. Charles Grosvenor, the
Sage of Athens" is ended. lie
has served 90 years in Congress.
He will not return.
Grosvenor did not receive sim
gle vote from Athens County,
where he resides. He did not get
solid delegation from any coun-
ty. Fairfield gave him l2 of its
ID votes, an d Perry gave
him eight of It's 10. Douglas re
ceived the remainder.
Grosvenor received only 90
votes in the convention, which
gave his opponent rs votes, %
more than enough.
The convention was called to or
der at L o'clock by Henry b. Pc.
ters, Of Fairfield County, who pre-
sented Israel M. Foster, of Athens
County, as temporary Chairman
of the convention.
The next thing was a presenta-
tion of congressional candidates.
At the call of counties, when it
came to Hooking, and the name Of
John F. White was not present ted,
the followers of GrosSenor gave up
hope and admitted that the so.
called deal with Hooking County
had fallen through.
Meigs County stated that it had
no candidate, and when Ross
County was reached the name of
Albert Douglas was presented by
L. A. Tinker. Later on Brown,
of Meigs County, presented the
name Of Gen. Grosvenor. At the
call OF the counties Athens gave
its solid vote, 81. for Douglas.
Fairfield gave Douglas 9 and
Grosvenor IL.
There was intense excitement
when Hocking County was called,
and when White rose and gave the
solid vote of that county for Doug
las, the friends of the Ross County
man stampsded the convention.
Meigs County, which had present.
ed Grosvenor's name, saying it
was all over, gave its 13 for Doug
las.
Perry gave 8 to Douglas and 8
to Grosvenor.
Ross, IL Tor Douglas; Vinton, b
for Douglas; making the total
vote for Douglas rs, and Grosven-
or 90.
Douglas was afterward nominal
ed by acclamation. He was called
to the platform and made care
fully prepared speech. Among
other things, he said that new
system of primaries was needed.
That for 90 years, in the district,
there has been a machine weltered
by patronage, which has worked
like an endless chain, AID it was
impossible for man to secure a
nomination except through the
machine.

Mitchell and Dolan in Hot
Contest.
HOPES FOR SETTLEMENT
Are Entertained by Both
Sides.

Indianapolis, Feb.--The fate OF
the United Mineworkers hinges on
the fight between National Presi-
dent Mitchell and President Pat
rick Dolan, of the Western Penn
sylvania District. That the fact
Is appreciated by the miners is
evineed by their determination to
recouvene a national convention
here within the next 40 days.
Ostensibly this meeting will be
to reconsider the strike situation,
but an important part of its action
will be the ousting Of DOlan, who
is generally regarded as an insur-
gent and disorganizer.
There is no doubt in the minds
Of those who attended the last con-
vention that but for John Mitchell,
Vice President Il. l.. Lewis anc
Secretary Treasurer w. Il. Wilson,
Dolan would have been expelled.
The national convention, being the
highest power of the organization,
can take action that will be final
Those familiar with the condi
tions believe that Mitchell in his
letter, read to the Western Penn
sylvania district convention yes
terday by Vice President L. L..
Lewis, had in mind national con-
vsntiou when he stated that "It is
my intention, at the proper time
and in the proper place, to reply
to all Of these''-the Dolan state.
ments.

tends at that time to make reply
to the Statement issued-but not
written-by Mr.. Dolan," is inter
pToeeu mere 10 mean that he be-
lieves that the statement was writ

pany.
The remarkable feature of the
sit nation is that, for once, the So
cialists in the organization are
willing to link forces with Mitchell
to Dust Dolan, who, next to Mitch
ell, they consider their greatest
enemy in the organization.
Another remarkable feature of
the present fight is that Dolan,
who has always been one of the
greatest denunciators of the in
junction--when used by the opera
tors--resorted to the injunction to
protect himself from the miners.
