New York, August.-Did you ever
hear the story of cotton?
1t is as thrilling as narrative of
adventure. 1t is as interesting as q
novel = interesting particularly be-
cause it concerns the welfare Of nil
lions Of people who wear cotton goods.
1t is interesting, because it is the
dress of the poor, the universal sub
stitute for wool and silk. 1t is in
teresting, furthermore, because it is
true.
The story of cotton is the story of a
protective tariff for the benefit of rich
manufacturers at the expense of the
whole people who wear cotton goods.
1t has been reasonably, calculatcd
that because the cotton tariff Is fixed
by the Payne-Aldrlch law the Ameri-
can people are paying SEQ, 100000 more
every year than they should pay for
their cotton goods and that saving
Of this amount could be accomplished
by a reasonable reduction in the pres
ent duties.
The story of cotton is told by an ex-
pert, Robert Kenneth MacLea, consult
ing expert of the tariff board, in Sc
ries Of articles published in the Now
York World. Mr.. MacLea's views are
the views of a lifelong Republican. a
friend of the protective policy of the
Republican party, but at the same
time an opponent of tariff graft and "a

The Team was His Own.

The Derrick of Friday contained the
following item: "W. NJ. Groner, a
prominent farmer of Washington town
ship, Clarion county, was in town on
business Thursday and experienced a
few unpleasant minutes, from which he
was relieved by identification by some
Oil City acquaintances. On Saturday Of
last week pair of sorrel horses, weigh
ing about l ,050 pounds each, and slst
buggy, with red running gear, were
stolen from Scott Agnew, OF Cooksburg,
Forest county, and the last heard of the
outfit was that it was headed this way.
The team driven to town by Mr., Groner
answered the description of the one stolen
in Forest county, even to white strip on
the face of one of the animals, two white
hind feet on one horse and one white
hind foot on the other. While he was on
the road between here and Venus, an Oil
City Liveryman, who had been furnished
a description of the stolen outfit, passed
and at the first farm house where a
telephone was installed, he used it to
notify persons interested here that he be-
lieved the stolen outfit was coming to
town.
When Mr.. Groner arrived and put up
his team he was naturally surprised at
the large number of men who gathered
around the outfit and was puzzled at the
questions asked him, most of them
pointing towards tho manner in which
he had secured the horses and the route
he had taken to reach Oil City. 1t finally
dawned upon him that he was suspected
of having stolen the team and was looking
to be put to so.ue trouble and possibly
expense when an Oil City friend appeared
and explained matters and the crowd
drifted away. Their mistake was natural
as not only did the description of the
horses fit, but Mr.. Groner's buggy was
slat-b box one, with red running gear.
When it was all over no one enjoyed the
joke more than the Clarion county
visitor

Lightning Causes $1,000 Total Loss.


Our Kellettville correspondent gives us
the following account of a destructive
lightning bolt:
During the storm about two o'clock
Friday afternoon lightning struck Ralph
Groves barn on his farm on the hill
north of here and it was burned to the
ground, together with twenty tons of
hay, a wagon, new manure spreader,
hack, harness, etc. A load of hay had
just been driven into the barn and left
standing while the family was at dinner.
When the explosion OF lightning came
the doors were blown from the barn and
in moment it was enveloped in flames
Three work horses, which were bar
messed, and colt were saved by Levi
Grove, who loosed them after the barn
was in a blaze.and they ran out unhurt.
On account of the wet weather a portion
of Mr.. Groves hay and his wheat were
yet in the fields. He carried no insur-
ance and his loss will be heavy, it being
at least 81 500. The barn was a good
bank structure, about 40x50 feet, and had
been rebuilt by him about three years
AGO.

The Clarion Republican OF last week
states that a sad accident occurred at
Snydersburg Monday afternoon when
the eight year old son OF Andrew Grole-
mund had his right foot badly cut In a
moving machine. The little fellow was
trying TO capture cat when the accident
occurred. Drs. r. w. Phillips. of Leep-
or, and f. p. Phillips, of Clarion, were
called In and upon examination 1t was
found necessary to amputate the foot
above the ankle.

cellent sermon delivered by the visiting
minister. He made very favorable i'm
preston upon his hearers and from the
comments upon his discourse II is appar-
ent that our people would be z lad to hear
him again whenever the opportunity pre-
sents itself

At His Old Tricks Again.

The notorious Adam Ruth, alias Frank
Barnes, who came into the limelight
few years ago in this section by having
figured in the robbery at Pithole, of Miss
Eliza Copeland and who, while serving
term in the Franklin Jail following that
crime, gained notOriety by claiming to
know who killed City Treasurer Blevins
of New Castle about 10 years ago, is again
to the fore. Newspaper readers of this
section will remember the stories told by
Barnes at Franklin and of how, when
they were investigated by the Lawrence
county authorities who had been search
ing for Blevins' murders, they were
found to be false.
Barnes, when next heard of following
his Jail sentence at Franklin that was
given in lieu of penitentiary imprison-
meut after he had told his stories, was
after the disappearance at Kane and Lud-
low of two boys couple OF years ago.
One named Adams from Kane, and the
other named Stefan from Ludlow. He
went to the father of the Ludlow boy and,
under representations that he was a de-
tective and knew the whereabouts of the
Stefan lad, was able to obtain S25. He
was arrested for this crime and sent to
the Allegheny county work house, where
he now is doing time,
At that institution he has again got
busy and, by telling the story that he
knew where the two Mexican county lads
are, induced the county detectives and
an attorney to investigate the matter and
again he was found to be at his old tricks.
lie first wrote a letter to woman
named Mcfarland, in Mexican county he
having obtained her name from news
paper containing an account of her hus-
bands suicide. He claimed to be the
husbands half. brother and that there was
considerable money coming from an
estate to the Netherlands. He also told
1er story of how the boys at Ludlow
had been stolen for ransom and of where
they had been taken.
Mrs. Mcfarland placed the letters in
the hands of the authorities and also en-
gagged an attorney to look up her hus-
bands claim to the supposed estate. The
investigation proved the yarn tissue Of
falsehoods.
Barnes is a PLAUSIBLE liar and made
friends of a prisoner in the workhouse
and made him believe that he was half
brother of the man thus securing money
for tobacco, etc.

NoBLEssE oBL1GE IN POLITICS.

One of the delightful things about
American political reform today is
that no feuds seem to reach a stage
of bitterness that altogether o~bliterates
the social conventionalities.
At a recent banquet there were pres
ent W. men who are political enemies,
and many noted the attention with
which one listened while the other de-
livered his address. None were heartier
thar he in their applause. and a by
stander could not resist the impulse
to comment upon 1T. Doesn't it seem. +"
he said, Just as though modern poll
ties had entirely obliterated all the
old-fashioned rancor and personal feel
ing?''
And as men of decided political diff
~ferenees greeted one another at the
banquet board it reminded one of the
days of County %chivalry, when martial
foes complimented each other on their
appearance and recent triumphs, al
though the next day might see them
lighting with sharpened lances or
trenchant battle-axes.
And no matter what party name or
blazon today's politicians may choose
TO fight under, the old rule of noblesse
oblige will not lessen the strenuous
and persistent nature of the struggle.
