rScherr a1ks of
His Candidacy

Parkersburg. Sept. Yesterday
there We're two prominent arrivals In
the city in the person of Arnold C..
Scherr. the state auditor, who has
announced his candidacy for the Re
publican nomination for governor.
and c. NJ. Topping. clerk OF the
house last session and who Is one of
the prominent candidates for secre-
tary OF state. During the evening
they were in conference with a mum
Der OF local politicians. and this
morning will go TO Rock Springs.
where they will participate I'm the
Hancock county reunion. Mr..
Scherr Will probably leave the first
OF the week for home. while Mr..
Topping anticipates remaining mere
till after home coming week, when
1t Is expected Governor Dawson. Mr..
Swisher and a number OF other state
officials and politicians will be pres
ent.
Mr.. Scherr came up yesterday to
Sistersville and thence TO this city.
and when seen at the Mcclure said I,
VI have announced my candidacy
for governor and believe there Is lit
tie more to say Of ii than that. When
Judge Mason declined to enter the
race l decided that | would become
candidate. / believe that were I
elected ! could serve the state to lis
interests, for I'm the auditors office,
as YOU know. one becomes familiar
lied with the many details OF the
conduct of the state business.
have not SO far entered upon an ac-
tive canvass for the office. believing
II is too early. As to the other can
didates, know practically nothing.
II believe that whoever is elected
to the office OF governor should con-
tinue the present policy. The Dawson
administration has been a good and
clean one and there is no doubt
about the success of the new tax
plan. OF course 1t could be inn
proved and will be gradually per-
fected. | have always been firm
believer that all interests should pay
their just proportion of taxes and at
the same time that the states affairs
should be administered in as eco
nomical way as possible.
II regret exceedingly that | will
not be able to remain in your city
over fair week"

Tho Reward of Hauohtiness.


The other day a chemist was awak-
ened about o'clock in the morning by
a lad clamoring at his shop door. Open
ing his bedroom window, he saw a
small boy, who was gesticulating
wildly.
'Whats the matter?" inquired the
chemist.
II want penny'orth O. camphorated
chloroform for t. toothache" howled
the lad.
The chemist was not overjoyed
when he found how small the order
was for which he had been so rudef
awakened from his slumber: but, tax.
ing pity on the sufferer, he dressed
himself and went downstairs to sup.
ply the much desired relief. While
measuring the drug he could not help
doing growl at the lad.
"It's like your cheek" he observed,

night for paltry PENN rth of chloro-

Tho Black Hole of Calcutta.

A scientist, writing of the black hole
Of Calcutta and it's atmosphere, says:
ION the Goth Of June, 1856, about
o'clock in the evening, 146 men were
forced at the point of the bayonet in
to dungeon eighteen feet square
They had been but few minutes con
fined in this Internal prison before
every one fell into a perspiration 50
profuse that no idea can be formed OF
1t. This brought on raging thirst
the most difficult respiration and an
outrageous delirium. Such was the
horror of their situation that every in
suit that could be devised against the
guard without and all the opprobrious
names the viceroy and his officers
could be loaded with were repeated tc
provoke the guard TO fire upon them
and terminate their sufferings. Before
II o'clock the same evening one-thir6
Of the men were dead, and before
next morning only twenty-three came
out alive, but most of them in higt
putrid fever. All these dreadful effects
were occasioned by the want Of atmos
pheric air and by their breathing SUI
perabundant quantity of nitrogen emit
ted from their lungs"

Socialist Speakers and sympathizers
Arrested at Seattle.
Seattle, Wash, Oct. a).-Eight So
cialist speakers and like number of
sympathizers were arrested here for
speaking on the streets. The arrests
came as a result of the defiance pro-
gramme Of the socialists Of Seattle,
who have arranged for their speakers
to appear on the streets every night
and attempt to hold public meetings.
Mayor Gere has declared that he will
not allow the street meetings. The
socialists in turn have secured about
forty speakers and will continue the
meetings as long as the volunteer
martyrs last. The speakers were not
permitted to, say more than a sentence
before being bundled into the patrol
wagon and sent to jail, where they
were refused bail and placed in the
chain gang tank. Among those ar
rested was Mrs. Hattie F. Titus, wife

New York, Oct. 3 There are evil
dences of general break In the ranks
Of striking telegraph operators. as
large numbers have applied to the
companies for reinstatement, One of
the companies has received thirty ap-
plications within the last twenty four
hours The cause Of the break does
not appear to result from any formal
or concerted action, but from gradual
disintegration and feeling among the
individual strikers that nothing fur
Their Is obtainable from the companies.
