An Ohio woman with an adopted homo in Wyoming has distinguished Jicrsclf by becoming a Presidential Elector from Wyoming, where the women havo fulljjallot franchisoment. Bho. of course, will vote for McKinloy. It's a groat honor to bo the first per son of her sex to act in this capacity, and a great one, too, to vote for Ohio's peerless son.' Ohio's Republican Gibraltar. Outside of Hamilton county, all through tho campaign just brought to n close, a deal has boon said against what was termed the "Cincinnati pang" by our friends, the enemy, and the base insinuations uttered, wo are sorry to say, have been repeated again and again by -various Republicans, that the McKlnley cause was being betrayed by Georgo B. Cox and his immediate friends. In view of this fact a study of tho ballot count of the State becomes unusually interesting. Take for in stance Cuyahoga county, where thero were no charges of lack of McKinley fidelity. In that county, which voci ferously claims a population in excess of tho population of Hamilton, tho He- publican majority amounts to but 5,583. How is it in tho headquarters of the al leged betrayers? The highestmajority claimed for McKinley in the entire State is 53,000, and of this old Hamilton rolls up 10,770, more than one-third of it. Though her population Is but one eleventh of that of the entire State her JEepubliean majority is more than one third. A story is told of Lincoln that when somebody went to him with tho state ment that Gen. Grant was drunk at Pittsburg Landing, one of the greatest achievements of tho war, he quickly answered, "Find out tho brand it)f .whiskey he used. I'd like to send a barrel of it to the rest of tho generals of tho army' What Mr. Cox is responsible for in Hamilton county is tho superb party organization. Organization brought out tho Republican yote and 'this Re publican vote was cast for McKinley. Times Star. Good Tlmos Comlnc; Fast.

Tho Mullins Coal company of Wooster, O., will open four new coal mines with in the next few months. The railroads running through Warren, O., report an increase of ten per cent in ore and coke shipments since election. All these, though not so intended, serve very well as jollification meetings oyer tho great sound money triumph of last Tuesday. The Population of the Earth. The quinquennial census of different nations was recently completed. From 1874 to 1895 the total population seems to have increased from 1,091,000,000 to 1,450.000,000. The increase at tho rate of five per cent, should give 1,549,000, 000 in 1900, and 2,518,000,000 in tho year 2000 The fear expressed in Malthus' essay on population, that in course of time one portion of the population will be reduced to famine, seems not incred ible, since the producing powers of the soil aro limited, while those of repro duction of species aro practically with out limit. Medical Journal. Referred to Tom Watson.

Va, aro very much worked up over tho new strlko on tho Richardson farm, located southwost of tho Ogdln pool. Tho well has not yet boon drilled any doopor slnco It first began to show oil on Tues day. Tho owners havo been trying to work it off for a mystery, but chough Information from a reliable source has been obtained to stato with a dogreo of certainty that it will mako a paying producor. It was renortod today that a Pittsburg operator holds leases on 700 acres of territory in tho vicinity of tho well and would start a half dozon or moro wells nt once. In tho Big Injun development near Hebrou, tho Carter Oil company has drllledTlallti No. 3 ton tho Hardman Xlvlngston (arm and has a good 'show. Tho well has mado several nico flows. In tho samo torrltory tho Victor Oil & Gas company and tho South Penn are duo in the sand at tholr No. 0 on the Smith farm. With tho wells now drilling in or near tho sand, tho pro duction of tho Hebron pool should go up several points. Before tho first Hondcrshot well nt Stillwell was complotodand when that territory was not considered good for anything John Carney and Lysander Dudloy purchased OS acres of land of John Onsol lying in tho cantor of this field. When tho Hendershotwellcamo in a producer Onsol kicked on tho deal and claimed that ho had not sold tho mineral rights on tho farm, but simply tho surface. Tho matter was brought Into tho courts and now rests there for settlement. Onscl has taken a step now which may cause all of the parties interested in tho matter trouble. He has leased tho farm to an operator and a rig has been put up on tho land preparatory to drilling it. Tho real owners of the land as a matter of courso will take steps to prevent this and tho dovolopment of tho valuable tract will thoreby bo delayed. Tho point brought up by Onsel that ho had not sold ihe mineral rights on tho farm is a peculiar one and has not previous ly been contested in this section. Parkorsburg Journal.

The advocates of frco coinage at half tho real and honest ratio propound this question as a poser: "How can free coinage givo the work ingman 53-cent dollars and at tho samo time enrich the silver-miner by bring ing tho commercial valuo of tho silver in ono dollar up to 100 cents?" Tho defenders of honest money mako no such contradictory claim. It is sil ver's own paradox. In his speeches at the south and west Mr. Bryan depicts tho need of a cheap e dollar. Ho insists thnt gold has ap preciated. But in his speeches at tho east ho expressed his "belief" or his "firm conviction" that opening tho mints to sliver would increase tho prlco of bullion to $1.29 an ounco, making the silver dollar just as valuable as tho gold. Ho could cite no instance of such a result from freo colnago at 1G to 1 in this or in any other land. It never happened. (But if it should happen hero the sil ver trust, as its secretary told tho mlno-ownera- of Utah, would "multi ply its product by Gi cents an ounce," which would givo It tho neat extra profit of J36.000.000 a year. If this wcro tho result tho farmers would get no inflation of prices by cheap dollars, nor could debtors discharge their ob ligations in 51-cent coins. Neither would tho workinman be cheated out of half his savings and loso one-half tho purchasing power of his dollar. Tho sound money men simply say both theso things can not happen. They ask tho silver advocates to choose ono argument and stick to it. Do they mean enhanced silvpr or cheap dollars? Which? Aro they prepared to disap point tho mine-owner and tho dishon est debtor, or to cheat the holpless creditor and wage-earner? Which shall it bo? It can not bo both. It la their own paradox. And they dare not faca it Now York World. ( 'FORGED DRAFFS Passed in Hew Yorlvilichlgan, Ohio and Indiana. New and Successful Method of Swin dling by an Organized Gang. They Went on the rtoml nx Cotumorclnl Traveler 1 hro of tho Urine Now lu Custody, Willi.) tho rourth Uroka Jail nnd Mado HI Kjcnpo. New Yoitif, Nov. 7. After many weeks of patient work tho police of this city, us.sls.tucl by the Chicago po lico and the l'lnkcrton agency, havo suacucded in bagging a remarkable gang 6t check and draftr'dwludlfrj.. Far sfx months tho forgers IrVJe 'flit ted ubout'tho tyest 'and easC leaving' forged drafts behind them in each place they visited. Their method, according to the po lice, was an entirely new ono and ol a sort which proved successful every time it vuts tried. Of tho four mem bers of tho gang, threo are now in cus tody, ono in Michigan, ono in Clucagc and ono in this city. Tho fourth is tho J. B. Lyons, oi Harry Rhodes, who escaped from the Ooshen (N. Y.) jail In the latter part o) September, and is still at liberty. Ly ons, or llhodcs, is bettor known as Kid Smith. Tho other men aro Walter B Peters, Willis Herbert Connor and Wil liam Thomas. Tho last to bo nabbed was Peters. Tho gang got togothqr last Juno" and planned a general swindlo of banks merchants and hotolkcepcrs through out tho country. Tho men met in Chi cago and mado tholr plans. Peters is an expert lithographer, and his work was to print the necessary drafts and forge tho necessary signatures, while Connor and Smith got rid of the paper. It was resolved from tho first that no forged checks would be used unless il ibecame absolutely necessary to nego tiate one in order to get Sulllclcnt funds to got out of some temporary difficulty. Connor and Smith, it was ngrced, -should go out on tho road as commer cial travelers. Peters was to stay in Chicago and send drafts to them as fast as they could get rid of them. In his letters ho would pose as thoir em ployers, wording each cpistlo in a busl-noss-liko way and signing tho name of somo well known firm to each one. The police have in their possession a lot of those letters. They illusti.ito bet ter than anything else why tho men were so successful. In them Peters in sists on tho salesmen cutting Jow n ex penses as business isTCry bad. He gen erally orders them to take anewroute, mentions somo fiun in the next town which he wants them to be snro and visit, says that ho expects an order nnd w inds up by a rcfcrcnco to the in closed draft. Altogether the usual letter is a busi-ncss-hko one and apt to impress a ljo tel clerk. Tho early travels of tho alleged com mercial travelers, howovcij were thiough Ohio anil Indiana, and every place they went they passed their drafts on merchants, hotul-Ucopers and even on banks. Peters kept send ing oh tho drafts as fast as Connor and Smith could got rid of them. Each man had equipped himself with a lay out of cigar samples, the better to car ry out their scheme, and they spent large.amountsof money wherever they wont. In each place visited they changed as much as possible their per sonality. Michigan vt as visited when Ohio and Indiana had beeomo hot for tho pair. In Michigan prccisoly tho samo game was worked, and thero, as far as can bo learned, 15 drafts for amounts vary ing from 3100 to S300 were cashed. In Ohio and Indiana SO of tho drafts were passed. Tho polico of the entire country were put on tho track of tho swindlers. The amount of monoy seemed is not known, but bankers estimate it at S7C, 000. BLOWN TO ATOMS.

Without a single exception, there is beyond doubt no greater or more popular newspaper in the United States than the Cincinnati Enquirer ; or a more successful publisher than its proprietor, Mr. John R. McLean. The old-time prices for the Daily Enquirer have been maintained, and its circulation largely increased each year; hard times and cheaper jour nals failing to arrest its onward march and high appreciation of the public for its true worth and merit. The Weekly Enquirer at beginning of the campaign year was offered at 50 cents a year, and its circulation increased by the addition of over 200,000 new subscribers the most 'substantial and coveted testimonial a publisher could desire. , When asked for the secret of such success, Mr. McLean frankly answers : The Enquirer has no opinions to force upon its patrons, it simply prints the facts and tells the truth that the reader may form his own opinions. By maintaining the price of the paper, more news and greater variety can be furnished, and eery 'class of business interests catered to, which a cheaper journal cannot afford. The very liberal support given the Enquirer by the public at large, makes it incumbent upon the management to serve it faithfully with zeal and en terprise in minor matters as well as those of greater magnitude. 3&0S$? 1 " fs f1 1 ANYBODY Can have long winded advertisements by pay ing for them, but few Clothing Houses can show such a stock as we are showing, and past experience teaches us to buy where you KNOW you will getthe values for your cash.
