Col. Thomas B. Davis, of
Keyser, W. Va., was nominated
for congress at the second district
Democratic convention at Keyser
"Wednesday by acclamation. The
colonel is probably the strongest
candidate the democrats could
have nominated.
J. D. Nickerson of Independ
ence, Kan., brought suit in Miami
county for possession of a lease
and $10,000. In 1890 he drilled a
well on the Beahr farm, near
Paola, and found a little gas, but
only enough to supply the home
and a slaughter house. Nickerson
wanted to pull the casing, but
Beahr enjoined him, and the
courts compelled him to put the
' casing back so the occupants
could have the gas, but it confirm
ed the lease for fifteen years. The
tract changed hands and the own
er. Mr. Solmes, leased it to Beatty
Bros., who recently developed
eiijht wells with a production of
150 barrels of oil. The lease is
estimated at $40,000 to $50,000.
Mr. Nickerson certainly has a
good case.
One of our most important in
cidents in our history was the
joint debate between Abraham
Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas
in 1858. It had an immense effect
upon the whole history of the
country and made Lincoln pies
ident, although Douglas won the
United Spates senatorship for
which they both were striving.
The Illinois Historical So
ciety is hit'i *u:ing for a semi-cen
tennial ceic''V:ition of the debate,
or rather del-ales, for there were
a number of them. One effect of
the celebration will be to make
more of theability and prominence
of Douir'.;t>. whose fame was ob
i
scared ty I he great prominence
iu'io which Lincoln soon came, and
by his own ? i?*;i t h shortly after
the election of his rival to (lie
presidency.
j
' From reading accounts of the '
events taking place in Chicagfo
cue might imagine that he waSji
receiving details of aieanti-semitic
riot in southern Russia, when a
j ?
priest is beaten for attending tin
wounded in the performance ol
his religious duties, and women
an* hustled about and have bun
dles torn from them because they
have made purchases in boycotted
shops. Depths of depravity have
been reached below anything
thought pos- b!e of American cit
izens. The labor conflict now
going on appears to have stirred
lip a spirit of mob outlawry in
clined to extraordinary excesses.
The usu;?l expedients which
may be resorted to for the settle
ment of labor conflicts fail in the
c.ise of sympathetic strikes, for
those do not present any differ
ences to be arbitrated. Ihey are
called to enforce a boycott, which
is an illegal procedure and can
not be engaged in without incurr
ing liability for damages. Bus
iness concerns which join in a
conspiraney to injure the business
of other firms would soon find an
injunction resting upon them and
would be compelled to choose be
tween obedience to strike orders
and obedience to the law.

Her "Panes" Accountcd For.
An American woman underwent
an operation in Paris, but as her
health did not improve she submit
ted to another operation in Germa
ny. Stil! ;?!?" "as not well and re
turned to I ans, where at the third
operation ihe surgeon discovered in
the uciti':).- ?t' tiie operation wound
a pair of evc oC.s.
The patient, who is fully recover
ed, does not know whether she
should return eye^lajies to the
French or the German sa^eon. The
German surgeon, .ay.; the ilcdical
Kecord, is in an embarrassing posi
tion, for either he lo.-t l I:e eyeglasses
or he failed to lincl them wlien he

Irrigation Abroad.
Nowhere is irrigation practiced so
extensively as in India, where about
25,000,000 acres are irrigated.
Egypt is next. The Assouan dam in
the Nile is considered one of the
greatest engineering feats in the his
torv of the human race. Irrigation
is new in Australia, but is spread
ing rapidly there, ami the same is
more or less true of South Africa.
The practice of irrigation has de
clined or entirely disappeared in
many regions where it prevailed in
remote ant iquitv.
Window Washing.
Do not wash windows when the'
sun is shining on them, as thev will
look cloudy and streaky from dry
ing before they are well polished.
The glass and sa?h should be first
dusted and the window washed on
the in.*idc with water and a little
ammonia. Alcohol is excellent for
washing windows; only a small
quantity is Acquired, and wood al
cohol is good for this purpose.
Potato Water.

been boiieii is excellent fgj Qieaninp*

low two potatoes to a pint of water
if wanted strong. It can be bottled
for later use. The coarse pulp left
after pouring off the clear liquid is
good for cleaning carpets, curtains
and other thick goods, also for light

WILD ELEPHANTS.
^talking Them Is a Sport That Gives
Plenty of Excitement.
An old African hunter writes:
"Stalking with eiophauts is a sport
that must always provide plenty
excitement to i,hc stalker, and irr a
thick forest, with its dense under
grov. ch, this excitement is intensi
fied, increasing as tJie signs show
that t he quarry is close at hand.
Elephants when at rest and not
alarmed in any way frequently keep
up a curio. is sort of rumbling noise,
dillicult to describe, but one heard
never forgotten, 'ihis sound can l>c
heard for a considerate distance.
In spile of their size it is marvel
ous how invisi'uie elephants in thick
cover can be. it is only after the
most careful search that their forms
can he distinguished, and it is gen
erally the flapping of an enormous
ear or the swishing of a tail that re
veals their whereabouts.
"As a rule, they stand perfectly
motionless. Hut gradually, if he
keeps quite still and allows his eyes
to get used to the glooin of the for
est, the hunter will be able to make
out the presence of several gigantu
forms, very jKJssibly in surprisingly
close proximity to the place where
he is standing. If the wind remains
favorable he can watch them at his
leisure, and such a sight is well
worth seeing. Some of them may
be asleep, leaning against the tree
trunks, and others may be lying
down flat on their sides, though
this last sight is only occasionally
seen.
"Should no breath of air from his
vicinity reach them he may go as
close as he likes to them with im
punity ? almost touch them, in 'fact,
lie would, however, before doing so
do well u? nvonnoiter, especially in
thick cover, and assure. himself thai
he has not passed any member of
the herd unobserved and thus given
him his wind. Should such a con
tingency ari-.f the. alarm is commu
nicated like m-'Cfic. Probably a warn
ing squeal '.'.'ill be heard, and up
will go every trunk.
"Then the whole party \ :il either
vanish :;-.ey like a visi"M or one or
more < .' '\:\\ wiij e' ;rge si night
for the spot whence the disquieting
otlor issues. Should the herd con
tain many cow-, more especially if
accompanied by calves, thii jast re
sult is nhlif&t certain to happen.
Bull elephants, on the other hand,
if unwounded, will most probably
make off without any hostile demon
stration."
