TURKEYS ARE CHEAPER.


Zanesville, Ohio, Not in recent
years have turkeys been cheaper than
they will be at Thanksgiving time
this year. This authoritative state
ment comes from New Concord, the
center of the great Southeastern
Ohio poultry belt. Farmers, scared
by high meat prices, have raised ex-
ira focks of turkeys for food. The
result is that the market is over
loaded. Eastern buyers have been
buying fowls, not dressed, for le
cents a pound.

twenty-one on joint ballot.
The returns are not yet complete,
bat every thing indicates that the
entire Democratic County ticket has
been elected by majorities ranging
from 100 to $50. As we 90 to press,
the returns Indicates that Harrison
+. Ball will be elected County Com
missioner, by at least $50 majority /;
Edwards and Parsons to the House
of Delegates, by $50 majority; and
Charles d. Bali, County Superintend-
ent of Free Schools, by from 500
to $50 majority. The returns further
indicate, that Rankin Wiley, has
carried the County, for Congress, by
at least 100 majority, and that D.

he is probably elected to the Senate,
the County by practically the same
majority. In fact considering the
tremendous majorities the dem
ocrats have had to overcome in this
County, the result is most gratifying
and even surprising to the dem
ocracy of the County.
This splendid victory cannot be
attributed to the democracy alone,
because in the fight that has been
going on, the entire ticket has re-
ceived the support of many Repub-
licans who have earnestly done every
thing they could to aid US in the
fight. While We exult exceedingly
over the victory that has been
achieved, We, at the same time ex-
tend to the Republicans, who have as
sisted US, the heartiest thanks, and be-
lieve tiat they are as joyful over the
outcome as those who have always
supported our ticket.
If our ticket is elected, as we have
every reason to believe it is, it can
be safely relied upon, that each

see it. The democracy could not
have selected better men for the
various Offices they are called upon
to ell, or men who will strive harder
than they will to do everything within
their power for the accomplishment
of better things. There is no doubt
but what this State has become
Boss-ri1den, and the political ma
chine, that has been built up by
Senators Scott and Elkins, aided by
lesser lights, has received such Sc
we're blew throughout the State, that
the Republicaa Party can never be
resurrected. Mason County can well
rejoice that she is in the fight, for
the purpose of downing such bosses,
because no State or people can pros
per, that are dominated by men who
occupy official positions for the pur-
pose of building up their own for
tunes and the fortunes of the select
few at the expense of the toilins
masses.
The victory. therefore, that has
been achieved, is not democratic
alone, but it is victory for the peo-
pie. As long as this State, and each
of the counties therein, continue to
be controlled by sordid politicians, SO
long may We expect to receive the
support of the Republicans, who
have so yaliantIy fought and voted
with US. In order that we may con-
tinue to receive this support, it be-
hooves every democrat elected to of
fee, not only in this county, but
throughout the State, to 90 his duty
well. That this will be done, we
have no reason to doubt.

DEMOCRATS SWEEP ENTIRE COUNTRY
MAIL BOXES
LOCAL POST OFFICE OPENED AND ROB
BED BY YOUTHFUL VAGRANT.

g ness houses have been missing mail
from their post Office boxes, and an
effort by the post Office people was
rewarded last Saturday night, in
the capture of Ernest Oliver, a
young man about Is years old.
Oliver was seen TO open the box
of Mr.. Robert Hutchinson, by mail
clerk, l. f. W. Mckinley, and
Chas. Noes. They Immediately ask
officer Tharp to arrest him. Oliver
told the officer that Mr.. Hutchinson
had sent him for his mail, and they
started for the o.iice of Mr.. Huschin-
son to-corro5or:.tc t.ic story, when
passing the alley just above Mrs.
illiamson's millinery store, the
Oliver boy broke and run, making
for the river and escaping.
He was arrested at Middleport,
Monday morning, by Officer W. H.
Pierson and returned without requisi-
ton papers.
The following business houses
have complained about having mail
turn up missing: Malleable Iron
Plant, Point Pleasant Machine
Works, Wildermuth Brewing Co.. !,
and Alex Kelso. A great many
patrons of the Office merely close
their boxes, and fail to turn the
combination, thusit was easy for the
boys to open them and secure the
contents.
The Oliver boy confessed to officer
W. H. Pearson but said that he had
only been at the stealing since We'd
nesday, of last week. That part of
his story was. deliberate falSehood
as some of the mail found, where he
told the officer to look for it, was
dated August Srd. In his confession
he said that Robert Trosper, aged
about l6 years, showed him how to
open the mail boxes and was with
him every night that he took nail,
with the exception of Saturday night,
at which time he was caught in the
act, also that the Trosper boy shared
in the money stolen. Officer Pear
son arrested the Trosper boy, Mon
day, at Lock IL, and he denies that
he had any part in the stealing.
They will be taken to Hunting
ton, today by the United States
Deputy Marshal, where they will.
have their preliminary hearing and in
all probability be bound over to the
U. S. Court.
= Several letters were found under
the floor of the Court House, a great
e,many of them being for the Male
able Iron Plant. Among the lot
was registered letter addressed to
Miss Hanna Oliver, Brighton. 1t is
hard to account for this letter being
with the others, as it bears the
Brighton stamp, showing that it
was taken out of that office. "A
number of money orders made out in
favor of Alex Kelso were found but
are worthless as they were torn in
small bits.
Officer Jas. Gaskins assisted officer
Pearson in the case and they both
deserve great credit for the creditable
way in which it was handled and the
promptness with which the arrests
we're made. 1t is said that the gov
ernment has a standing reward of
from $50 to 5000 for the arrest and
conviction of parties opening mail
boxes other than their own.
Both the boys came from good
families and it is to be deplored that
they have gotten themselves en-
tangled in such a serious affair.
