The man with a thnory who wants Immediate action is not as sate an advisor as Daw Crockett. Eight Democrats aud four Kepuhlicana compose the latest Kentucky jury. The new governor-elect will use his influence to a lie the criminal courts out of politics- Thk voters who have come of age since 1900 have witnessed an era of prosperity and been a part of it. Mr. Hryau'a idea that this class will turn bis old minority into a oihjority is a strange delusion. Thk new Governor of Kentucky, Au gustus E. Wilson, the Republican who was successful in last month's election, was ineuiturated yesterday. It was a great day lor the Republicans of the old bluegrass State. The official call for the Republican national convention, to be held in Chicago on June lit next, was issued from Wash ington Saturday. It is signed by Chair man Harry S. New, and Secretary Elmer Dover, of the Republican national com mittee. Thk Erie Railroad reports that it car ried twenty-four millions of passengers last year without the loss of a traveler's life. This is a record which ought to in cline the publio to feel kindly toward that railroad snd give it consideration in choosing routes. Thk Washington, D. C, jury, in the case of Mrs. Anna Bradley, who shot and killed former Senator Brown, of Colorado, about a year ago, brought in a verdict of not guilty. The jury had am pie evidence that Mrs. Bradley killed the Senator, but evidently thought she was justified in her rash act. An astronomer who observed the so called canals of Mars during the summer says the flow of water, as far as it can be measured, takes place twice a year, first from one pole and then from the other, advancing with a regular speed of fifty- two miles a day. No particulars are given as to the movement of the mules along the lowpatb. Tiie actual consolidation of the cities of Pittsburg and Allegheny took place on Saturday at 11:40 o'clock. The remit titur of the state supreme court, signed ty Prothonotary George Pearson, an nouncing the decision was tiled at that hour by George Triver, crier of the state supreme court, with the quarter sessions court, of Allegheny county. Thk remarks ol Senator Knox, at the Washington dinner in his honor, have done much to augment bis popularity as a Presidential candidate, says the Oil City Blizzard. And that opinion is be coming quite widespread. Senator Knox warmly endorsee the Roosevelt policy of a square ileal for every man, and did much while in the President's cabinet to bring about a square deal for the common people as against the grasping trusts, Thk Brooklyn Eagle, a Democratic psper, puts the case in this fashion: "Mr. Bryan has twice tried for the Presidency, with the incidental result of passing from poverty to wealth, and he would now try for nomination for a third time. The Democratic party has become poorer as Mr. Bryan has become richer, and that party is again asked further to enrich him and still further impoverish itself." Democratic testimonials like this are multiplying and getting hotter. Viscount Aoki, the Japanese Ambas sador to Washington, has been recalled for the purpose of explaining to his sov ereign the precise status of the emigra tion question and the siunilicance of the visit of the Atlantic fleet to Pacific waters. The cordiality of our future relations with Japan will depend largely upon the kind of a report Viscount Aoki makes to the Mikado. The Japanese people fail to un derstand why the President canuot con trol the actions of California and San Francisco on the immigration question. Over there the Emperor is supreme in all parts of the empire, and they think the President is the same over here. Punxy Spirit. ? Thk President is strenuously support ing and urging a measure before Con gress, that ought to interest every citizen in the United States. It is generally ad mitted that the receut bankers' panic was entirely unnecessary, and was caused by the baseless fear of depositors with drawing their money from the banks, thus taking it out of circulation. While there are a great many timid people in this country, with money, who fear to trust the banks, which are however ten times safer than their own custodianship, they would not fear for a moment to trust that money to a bank owned and operated by the Government itself. We should establish Postal Saving banks, into which people could deposit their money and draw a small interest, and thereby keep ail of our mouey in circula tion. As before stated the recent panic was caused by boarding, and it will be seen that by establishing these postal saving banks we could keep all of our money in circulation, thus making it im possible for a money panio to occur in times of prosperity, like the preseut, aud In fact there would not beany diminution of prosperity. Thk emigrants returning from thla country will remark when they get a home job that the pay for a day's work looks like thirty cents. Most of them will come bark. A taste for Uncle Sam's wages l apt to be permanent. Asskmbltm an Iba Mii.i.iron, of Ve nango county, who desires to return to the Legislature, while in Pittsburg last Thursday expressed Ins views on the Congressional question in this district. He Btated that ha believed that Mr. Sibley if he decides to be a candidate, would probably carry Venango county, but that the odds would be against bim in the en tire district, in opposition to Hon. Nelson P. Wheeler, the incumbent. Mercer Dispatch. A Ciiicaoo dispatch says sweeping re ductions In the prices of meat ami pro- fisiona are promised consumers in that city as a result of a decline in the prices of livestock that has been going on for the past forty days. Reductions in the wholesale price of these commodities were made in one day recently, averag ing about lO per cent, for all kinds of meat and poultry. If this recuction comes oil' the big meat packers it will be thrice welcomed by a hungry constituen cy. Killed a Catamount. George Eakin, Joseph Scott and Mart Huffman, of Clintonville, this county, arrived in town on Saturday night, on their way home lrnr a week's hunting trip In the vicinity of Kellettville. Forest county, with the carcass of a wildcat that weighed 20 pounds, and lynx that weighed 50 pounds. The wildcat was killed early in the week, but the larger animal was shot by Scott on Saturday morning, as the bunting party was on its way from camp to Kellttlviile. Their dogs showed considerable uneasiness wheu striking the trail of the "catamount" and refused to go very far ahead of the men, who when they noticed the prints of the feet of the annual in the snow were rather dubious about following up the trail themselves. Finally Scott sight ed the auimsl walking in the road ahead of ibeui and killed it at the first shot. This is the first lynx that has been brought to Oil City in some years and its exhibit at the Central hotel, where the party stopped for a few hours,, naturally attracted considerable attention and much speculation as to "the natureofthe beast." It was finally identified by George Quiun, who was one of the spectators of a pitched battle between one of these animals and a thoroughbred bulldog at Edenburg, Clarion county, in 1U78, and who spoke with authority, classifying me animal as being known both as catamount aud lynx. The battle is old enough to be new to the younger genera tion and is still a fond memory with some of the old timers. Oue ol the Clar ion county hunters bad trapped the lynx and while exhibiting it in Edenburg an' nounced that there was nothing of its weight that could "lick" it. Thinaroused the ire of the owner of a 35-pound bull aog sua ne made tne match. A pen was made of sucker rods constructed in slaughter house and on the day of the battle there were drillers, tool dressers and other sports present from a wide radius of country and numbering several hundred. Betting was spirited and at the appointed time the bull dog was thrown into the pit where the "cat" was apparently sleeping. The dog went into action at once and bad the feline by the back of the neck before it realized what was expected of ii. The skin on its neck was loose enough to permit It to turn on its back aud in an Instant its claw-armed feet were working like a buzz saw, tak ing out chunks of dog skin and flesh with every revolution. The dog was almost as active and fully as ferocious. The animals were evenly matched and when they each were torn almot into ribbons they quit fightiug because they were ex hausted by their exertions and loss of blood. The bets were called off, the fight declared a draw and it was supposed that both the animals were ready to die. The owner of the dog carried it to a pond near the slaughter house and started to wash its wounds. This revived the bull dog and seeing a caulne near that was a cross between a shepherd and New Foundland, and owned by Mr. Quiun, then a boy in bis teens, the hull dog promptly attacked it. Attempts to separate the fighting dog and the crossbred failed until both the animals were thrown into the pond. The bull dog ultimately recovered and fought many another battle with those of bis kind, but the lynx died from Its in juries it had received in the conflict-Oil City Derrick. i'nlnrrh f 'niinui Rc Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease.

Multitude at Scene of Mfncnrjyh Dis aster Retards Rescue Work. Fiiirn.omit, W. Va.. Ore. 10 In the vicinlt) of i he nilnos the immense crowd was simply overwhelming. While an orderly one. It could not be hold in chock. People came from all sections of West Virginia, Maryland und Penn. lv.:nlti. Even an excur sion train was run from I!:iitltniM-e, bringing hundreds of morbidly cuiiuus to the scene of disaster. The trolley company was unable to handle the Immense crowd, and like .in the previous days hundreds hired teams or else trudged across the mountains to the desolate locality. So did the masses surge back and forth at the mine uitranees thar it was necessary to press into senieti hundreds of the employes of the coal company to hold the mob In check. Especially was this the ease when n car containing remains of the victims was hauled to the surface. It was' necessary to force them back for a distance of several hundred feet, where ropes were drawn and they were held in cheek. Dead Engineer's Train Wrecked. Alk'iitown, Pec. 10. I'tider condi tions which seem to Indicate that he was dead at the throttle, Calvin Fred erick, an engineer on the Lehigh Val ley railroad, ran his locomotive past 3 danger signal near Parrj vllle, Car Ion county, and caused a wreck In which Richard Miller and Cyrus Young, brakenien, were dangerously scalded. Frederick's locomotive was overturned, the cahonse Into which it crashed was demolished and a freight par was wrecked. Miller and Young were scalded by steam from the loco motive. The body was In such a posi tion that Frederick could easily have sxtrlcated himself had he been alive at the time of the accident. Shortly before the wreck occurred Frederick had complained that he had a peculiar pain in his head. Town Marshal Robbed.. New Castle, Pa.. Dec. 10. After looting the home of Charles Standard in Lowellville, 0.. three negroes held up Town Marshal Baker while the lat ter was searching Tor them. In the home of Standard the burglars secured $5, a watch and a revolver. Baker traced them fo a brick yard on the outskirts of Lowellville, but was sur prised by the burglars and lolibel.
