The State campaign on tbe part of the Republicans was formally opened at Lebanon Monday night, and will lie conducted with vigor from now on till its close. This is a Republican State and a Republican year, and tbe State organization proposes to do its part in rolling up an immense Republican ma jority as a starter for the campaign of next year. The Republicans of the Maine dis trict recently represented by Mr. Reed resolved in dominating his successor that "We tender to President McKin ley our hearty support in the task of restoring order in our new possessions, leaving the future Utus of the people or those islands to be determined by C ingress." This covers the ground dimly, briefly and effectively. State Senator William Flixn k ia hot water.

If the Dem ocrats in Pennsylvania ever have a chance to elect their ticket it is in an 'off" year, and they do it because there is uot enough at stake to stir up the Re publicans. When the Republicans turn out there is no hope for the opposition. They should turn out this fall and leave tbe Democracy, as generally, in a hope lees minority, for the State is over whelmingly Republican, and should be ruled by Republicans.

James Eluek Bars kit, Republican candidate for State Treasurer, was boru at Elder's Ridge, Indiana county, Pa., and was educated at Elder's Ridge Academy and Washington and Jeffer son College, graduating from the latter in li After serving as Clem to me Commissioners of Washington county and engaging to some extent in tbe oil business, be went to Columbia i,aw School and was admitted to tbe Wash ington county bar in 1S!0. In the fall of 1S93 he was selected to meet a representative from Beav county in order to adjust the claims of Washington and Beaver counties to nrioriiv at the ensuing Republican nomination of a candidate for the State Senate from the district composed of those two counties. He was appointed Deputy Secretary of tbe Commonwealth by General Frank Reeder, and retired from that office with his chief, when the politi cal break occurred in tbe Hastings ad ministration, and the Governor deter mined to appoint David Martin to Iteedcr's place.

Oil the cam pus of histoiic Knox College, where, 41 years aeo. Abraham Lincoln aud Stephen A. IViuglas met iu one of a memorable -eries of debates to determine uluili should occupy a f-eat iu the I'niled States Senate, President McKiuley and Post iiaster General Charles Emory Smith bis morning delivtred stirring addresses xmimemorative of the contest between .hose two great leaders of former days. The President said : The time and place make this meeting memorable. Forty-one years ago on this .pot two mighty leaders representing pposite ideas contended tor mastery iiefore ihe tribune of the people. It a as i coutest which history will Dot fail to record. Lincoln and llouglas are insep arably connected in tha public iniud. Their association began in conlliet and Hided in co-operation. They were iu nUgouisni for more thau a generation iver the interpretation of the Constitu -ion, and were united at last w hen the Joiistitution itself was assailed. They might differ, :.a they did, over the mean- ng of some of its provisions, but w hen .be crisis came they stood together for its inviolability and for the iuseparability of .he Union it established. The one asserted tiie r'ght of slavery under certain conditions to enter the ter itories the other disputed that right jnder auy conditions; but both agreed that tbe slave power should not divide the Cniou. The debate was national and Historical. It " was epoch-inakiug and narked an enoeh in our history. It ucjcbcd the public conscience. It iuflu onced thought and purpose. It made the ist-ue iumoKsible of escape, it could no longer be avoided or evaded. It uniud the friends of liberty as well as those of "lavery. It hastened the "irrepressible coullicL" It was not the beginning of lu agitation, but it carried it into the lives and homes of the republic, and no issue is every rightly settled until it is settled there. The torch of liberty wm not lighted hew, but it flamed forth with a broader, a brighter, bolder light as it was lighted op by the strong arm of Abraham Liu- onlu. Three years only three years ititervcued, aud the debate was removed from the arena of peaceful discussioD to that of war and carnage. And then Liu coin and IKuiglas stood no longer divided. Sumter was tiied on April 12, lstH. On the l.tb of that mouth Lincoln issued his call for 75,KX troops. The rxisi;lon ol Douglas. at this critical jum-ture was that ofapatrioL Without halting or hesita tion he aligned himself upon the aide of the national government and threw the force of his great personality in support of tbe Executive. He uo longer consid ered party. His sole concern was for his country. He had no sympathies with our enemies in the North, who openly or secretly counseled the dissolution of the Cnioo. He was for the flag and for its cause, and the men w ho carried it had his blessings and prayers. His patriotic course was a mighty factor in molding Union sentiment and iu uniting the pa triotism af the country, and should serve as an example of good citizenship and an inspiration to duty. Though llouglas espoused a cause doomed to defeat, yet bis name was cherished by patriots 'everywhere, because when the test came he was found supporting the govermeut and advising his followers to uphold the coi.s'ituted authorities. It is the cause which makes the men identified with it iuimortal in history. Lincoln was tbe leader of the triumphant cause. Douglas, though opposed to him for a lifetime, supported and strengthened his arm. Both will be remembered long est, not for tbe debate, but for their part in the mighty events which ensued. They will live because the Union which was saved and the liberty which was es tablished will endure to perpetuate their names. Then followed tbe oration of the day, w hich was delivered by Postmaster Gen eral Charles Emory Smith. Drak Graia-0 after you have concluded that you ought not to drink coffee.

Pratt, of the United sutes Army, brought to Carlisle a curi ous looking company of Indian boys and girls. They were children of the plains and reservations, and upon their arrival here were clad in paint, feathers and blankets. This was tbe nucleus around which the present United States Indian Indus trial School was formed, which since that time has labored unoeasiugly in elevating tbe American Indian from savagery to citizenship. Accordingly this, the twentieth anni versary, was celebrated yesterday at the school with appropriate exercises which were attended by a large number of peo pie from various parts of the country.

Attorney Convicted for Ad riling a Murder. Hi'Tciiissox, Kan., October 7. James Clarke, a prominent attorney, was con victed here last night, after a five weeks' trial, of being an accessory to the murder of W. C. Boyd a year ago last May. Harry Posllelhwaite committed the murder because he objected to B-iyd's at tention to his mother. When arrested he swore that dark, who was his attor ney, advised the murder and furnished the weapon. Clarke was convicted on this testimony several weeks ago, but the Supreme Court reversed the case on the ground that Postletb walte, who was a convict, was incompetent to testify. In the trial which ended last night convic tion was secured by the testimony of fostlethwaite' brother and mother. 8ho3k Hand and Broke Her Leg. Topeka. Kan.. Oct. 8.

The appeal of Anne Feiin Barnes from the Common Pleas Court of Cambria county argued before the Supreme court, at PitLiburg, Monday, brings to light an interesting story in connection with a suit which she brought ? gainst Alexander A. Black aud others. The plaintiff lost het husband and children in the Johns town flood. She still lived in Johnstown aftar the Hood. While she was a widow, aged 32 years, Charles Barnes, a widower aged 75 years, began courting ber. He bad no childreu or grandchildren, and, although possessed of considerable prop erty, had no home. He wanted a wile, and began courting the plaintitf iu 1STO. lie first proposed in l&C, but she refused his suit, it is slated, because of his age and exceedingly uncomely appearance. He still courted ber, however, and on September 1, l-l, offered her all his property if she would marry him. She accepted the olTor, and they were mar ried in Pittsburg September 2tj, l.St'l, by Bishop Corllandc Whitehead. They at once went to housekeeping iu Johnstown, and on November 19, l.-M, he deeded ber his property in pursuance of their agree ment. At uo time did the plaintitf h tve any knowledge of Barnes having any debts. At Brookvllle there lived Mary A. Whitehill, stepdaughter of Barnes, who with her husband happened iu Johnstown November So, 1&4, and fouud the ded of Barnes's property to his wife. The old man was taken to tbe Whitehill residence at Hrook villa. Mrs. Barnes followed him, but could neither see ber husband nor bring him home. Finally Mrs. WhitehiH's husband sued him for fi,f!i3'!0 for large fees for legal advice and j a day for hunting for him iu the debris of the Johnstown flood. Mrs. Whitehill sued him for ?1 t,l;2 !2 for car ing for him wheu sick. Other actions were also brought against him, but all at Brookville, where judgments were ob tained by arbitration. Executions were issued and Whitehill bought in the prop erty. It is claimed that the lower court erred in the present action in excluding from tbe jury all evideuce of the consid eration of the marriage contract between the plaintitf a d ber husbaud. Coit of a loaf of Sread. An interesting contribution to a seiies of publications being issued by tbe De partment of Agriculture, embracing in vestigation into the food and nutrition of man, has been made by Prof. Harry Snyder of the Minnesota agricultural college. The paper contributed by Prof. Snyder relates the experiment made at Minnesota Uuiversity in bread making. The average "pound loaf " of fresh bread as sold by bakers, says the professor, weighs on an average about one pound one ounce. A pound loaf of bread cau be made from about three quarters of a pound of flour, about 2j per cent, of water being added to tbe flour during the process of breadmaking. Wi'h some flour hve to tea per cent, more water can be absorbed, inakinga greater weight of bread from a given weight flour. This additional weight is water and not nu trients. At two cents a pound for flour it is estimated by Prof. Snyder that a pound loaf of bread can be made, not counting fuel and labor, for about two cenu, one half cent being allowed for shortening and yeast. The loss of dry matter in breadmaking ia usually considered as amounting to about two per cent, of tlour used. In exceptional cases, as iu pro longed fermentation, under favorable conditions the losses may amount to eight per cent, or more. Laid the Corner Stone. President McKinley laid the corner stone of the postolfice at Chicago, Mon day, and then reviewed the parade of soldiers and civic societies that marked the opening of the festival. There was an immense crowd present and tbe city was gaily decorated. At the ceremonies of the laying of the corner stone ad dresses were made by Secretary of the Treasury Lyman J. Gageand Postmaster General Cbarlea Emory Smith. Mr. Gage referred to tbe importance of the event, and Mr. Smith spoke of the Vast developments of the country. He said: "Since lb70 the distributed wealth of tbe country has increased from $27,(00,000,0U0 to over $s0,0uo,000,000. The saving banks furnish a direct test The uumber of their depositors has grown from l,)O,0OO to more than 5.000,000, and tbe aggregate of deposits from fj50,O0O.OO0 tooverfiOOO, 000,000. With this unmatched growth, what imagination shall put bounds to the advancement of our country? Is our growing commerce to halt on the frontier of its domain? Is the opening door of wider fluids and enlarged activity within the broken w ills of the Orient to be un recoguizod and unused ?' Kews Item. The Venezuelan Arbitration Commis sion at Paris has announced its unani mous decision over the boundary dispute, fixing the lines, under which England se cures most of the territory claimed by Yenezuela.

Stock -raisers in Western Oklahoma are much exercised over the depreda tions of wolves. The Oklahoma Live Stock Association has offered a reward of f 20 for every full grown wolf scalp, and Woodward county offers $. ad ii tionab Stimulated by this, a number of experienced wolf hunter have entered tbe field. Some twenty five year ago, poison was very effectively used. In a few years, however, this method proved a failure. The wolves aeeincd to have made a study of tbe subject, an.l acquir ed a knowledge that would have quali fied them as expert witnesses on atrial for poisoning. Even tbe youngest w helps became able to detect the presence of any poison. Then tripping, and bunting with hounds, were introduced. The greatest skill, however, is required to set a trap ia such a manner as to attract a i wolf, while bunting with bounds is slow. laborious and costly. The ordinary mode of hunting game is practically out of tbe question with wolves, as the animals are so wary that a hunter can seldom come within gun shot. Divert After !0 Fartirgs.
