The new Leidecker well in the
Reibold districts continues the best
one in that field, producing from two
to three hundred barrels daily.
SPARKS was game to the last and
then Mr. Cleveland made game of
him.
—Anarchist Most is in a fair way
to talk himßeif into jail again. His
mouth is his deadliest enemy.
—The demand for small coins ex
ceeds the supply. There is no bur
densome surplus of large ones,
either.
—The land policy of the present
.Administration is something that no
bodv can guess. It ia shockingly
disfigured.
FATHER MCGLYNN seriously be
lieves that 60,000 votes were bought
•way from Henry George at the re
cent election in Now York.
THE scheme to have the National
Democratic Convention meet in Salt
Lake City ought to succeed. The
party of Mormonism should show
gome regard for the Mormon capital.
WHILE the London papers were
delivering long moral lectures about
the Chicago Anarchists the London
Anarchists were engaged iu a big riot
with the police It really makes some
difference whose ox is gored, after all.
—A cowboy and his horse suffered
a singular and violent death the
other day near Cheyenne Wells, Col.
Lightning struck the iron in the sad
dle and exploded all the cartridges in
the man's belt also setting fire to his
clothing and trappings.
THE official majority in Ohio for
Foraker, (Rep.), for Governor over
Powell, (Dem ), is 24,353. The Leg
islature is also largely Republican.
THE Republican County Committee
meets to-day, Friday, at 1 o'clock, in
' the office of W. C. Thompson, Esq ,
one of the Secretaries.
The Republican vote at the late
election in Armstroug, Beaver and
Butler counties is just about the same,
each county polling about 4,000
yoUs.
HART, Republican, for State Treas
urer has in the State 45,254 more
▼otes by official count than his Demo
cratic opponent, and Williams for
Sapreme Judge has 40,215.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND contribut
ed SIOOO to the Democrats of New
York City at the late election, and
this to the wing of that party that
nominated and represented the "bood
lers." He has evidently parted com
pany with his civil service or "mug
wump" friends who helped so large
ly to elect him.
MR. FRANK M. HIQGINS, managing
Editor of the Pittsburg Corn- Gazette,
died at his residence in Pittsburg on
Saturday last, in the 38th year of his
age. Mr. Higgins is spoken of by his
surviving partners in' the Com- Gazette
as a man of decided ability and great
personal worth.
—Mr. David Kirk, the well known
oil operator, estimates that the first
fifteen days of the shut down move
ment, commencing on Nov. 1., reduc
ed the production 750,000 barrels.
At tie end of the year of the shut
down he thinks oil will command a
much better price than it now does,
owing to the diminished production
and consequent advance in prices.
FRED GRANT runs behind his
ticket iu New York State. And this
not because of anything the people
b id against Mr. Grant, but rather in
ressct at a nomination made chiefly
because "he was the son of his fa
ther." The man who runs best in
this great North American country is
the man who is his own ancestors.

Philadelphia on Sunday last, Nov. 20
in the s<s'.h year of his age. Mr

Tbe "Cotta Society" Celebrat-I
ing Its First Anniversary.
Tbe Cotta Society, composed prin
cipally of young meml)er3 of tho Ger
man Lutheran Church of this place,
celebrated its first year's existence on
last Friday evening, Nov. 13 The
exercises were held in the new
Schenck, or Diamond Block, and were
the first exercises of auy kind had in
thnt tine building The Cotta may
not be as well known to tame as
gome other of the associations of our
place, bnt its objects and aims, liter
ary and religious, as witnessed in the
performances of Friday evening laat,
impressed all very favorably. Nam
ed after Dame Ursula C jtta, the ben
efactress of Martin Luther when a
poor boy going to school,much of the
anniversary exercises of course had
refereuce to that patron saint of
Luther and to the immortal Luther
himself.
The Anniversary commenced with
a fine banquet, prepared by tho young
ladies and friends of the Cotta. Two
tables, extending from one end of the
large room to the other were hand
somely decorated and well supplied
with the choicest viands and other
good things, which were served to the
guests by the young ladies ot the So
ciety.
After the supper the Society was
called to order by its President, Mr.
Peter Schenck, who bid welcome to
all present. The response to tbe wel
come was made by Mr. Wm. F. Mil
ler, in well chosen terms. The Miss
Grohmans then sang a duet, with or
gan accompaniment. A toast, "'Our
Guests," was responded to by Mr.
William G. Krug, in an appropriate
manner. Response to the same on
behalf of the guests was made by Mr
H. Julius Kliogler. "Onward.Christ
ian Soldiers," was then sang by the
Misses Lorettaand Birdie Miller and
the Misses Grohman. The toast,
"Our First Anniversary," was re
sponded to by Mr. George J, Trout
man, who did himself great credit in
the same. The song, "My Country,
Tis of Thee," was then rendered by
the young ladies. Tbe toast, "Our
Work," WB3 fitly replied to by Dr.
S. M. Bippus. "Cotta as an Em
blem" was well replied to in'au enter
taining manner by Mr. A. C. Krug.
A quartette was rendered by the Miss
Millers, Mr. FredS Klingler and Mr,
Peter Schenck. "Cotta Society" was
responded to by Mr. Harry S.Klingler
in an off hand, easy manner, and in
an eloquent and interesting delivery.
"Our Members Abroad" was spoken
to by Mr.Fred.J Klingler,who paid a
fitting tribute to absent members, Mr
William N. Harley and Mr. P. B
Ruff, who are away at school and
from whom letters of regret for their
absence were also read. A eong was
then sang in German, which was fol
lowed by tho whole company present
joining in singing the Lord's Prayer,
which closed these interesting pro
ceedings.
The whole affair was a very pleas
ant one to all present and a very
creditable one to all tbe members ol
the Cotta Society.
Resolutions of A. G. Reed Post
105, G. A. R., on the Death of
Reed Bracken.
Whereas, He who is the "Ruler
of Nationu"end the "God of Battles"
has seen fit to remove from our midst
Comrade Reed Bracken,
Resolved, That in the death of
Retd Bracken this Post has lost a
worthy comrade and each member of
the G. A. R. a personal friend; the
church has lost a consistent member
and the community a good neighbor
and a kind friend, one whose gener
ous nature prompted him to sacrifice
self for the good of others; our coun
try has lost one of her brave defend
ers—one who held her best interests
dear to his heart, and was ever ready
to defend the right as he understood
it; bis family have been bereaved of a
husband good and true, of a father
noble and kind, and one whose exam
ple is worthy of their imitation; that
by his death we are forcibly reminded
that year by year our members are
growing less, that the "boys of *G 1"
are paasiDg away, and that while we
mingle our tears with the tears of
Reed Bracken's family we should
each one stand ready to hear the last
order and receive our "final dis
charge."
That the above resolutions be pub
lished in our county papers and a
copy presented to the family of our
deceased comrade.

Little Jessie's Awful Fate.
WICHITA, KAN., Nov. 20, 1887.
Jessie, the two-year-old daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Hickmeyer, is dead,
and her mother is a raving lunatic.
The infant fell down a well tube j
on Thursday last at Leoti. By i
means of a rope, to which a hook was
attached, it was fouuu that she was
seyenty feet below the surface,
caught fast in the tube, which was
twelve inches in diameter, tapering
to eight iaches at a depth of eighty
feet. The hook caught on the baby's
clothing, aud she was pulled up thir
ty feet, only to fall back with a pile-!
ous cry, Other attempts to hook tho ;
child failed, though her calls were 1
f.equently heard. It was then decid-!
Ed to dig down through the saady
soil, and if possible reach that por- |
tion of the tube where the baby was. ;
The work was long and diilicult j
Day and night the rescuers labored, i
The mother stood by all the time, j
with iittle rest and scanty nourish
rnent. When it grew too dark to Uig
by daylight lanterns were furnished,
aud with untiring energy and zeai
the brave band went on excavating,
impelled by the tears and prayers of
the frantic mother.
At three o'clock this afternoon the
spot where the child was caught was
reached. It was seventy-two feet
from the surface The iron tube was
cut with chisels and tbe child takeu
out, but it was dead aud had been for
some time.
When the corpse was giveu to the
mother she fell down in a dead faiut.
When she recovered consciousness
her reason had gone.
Little .Jessie was a lovely cbil.l,
the pet of the neighborhood, and her
sad fate is mourned by ail in the little
farming community where herpareuts
live.

Barnum's Great Show Building
Laid in Ashes.
BIUTHIEPORT, CoNN'., NOV. 20
The main building of Barnum's
Greatest Show on Earth was entirely
destroyed at 10.30 this evening by
fire The first intimation of tho lire
was the roaring of the lions, and
within half an hour of that time the
building was in ruins. After tbe
lions, the elephants took up the howl
kg. There were six watchmen on
the promises but they were helpless
It is feared that one of them has been
lost.
The Gre was caused bv the burst
ing of a lantern. The total loss is
not known yet. Six elephants burst
through the blazing walls and were
followed by a hippopotamus. They
tore through the streets of Bridge
port yelling with pain. They pre
sented a sickening appearance, bein <
burned here and thero ou their bod
ies. The firemen were afraid to ap
proach the building on account of the
caged beasts.
The upper portion of the building
was filled with hay and all the para
phernalia of the great show. L bree
elephants were burned up. Their
roars and trumpetiug and sounds of
torment were terrific. Six elephants
and a large African hippopotamus
rushed about the street presenting a
sickeniug appearance. Their sides
were burned and great pieces of
flesh a foot square fell off- Thirty
elephants and a large lion made their
escape, and have started off across
country toward Fairfield aud Easton.
Great alarm has seized a great many
residents of the West End aud they
have taken refuge within their
houses with windows barred. Wil
liam Newman, the elephant trainer is
out of town and the keepers were not
able in the excitement to hold the
frightened animals. In the horse
room were all the ring animals, traiu
ed stallions, ponies, etc Tbt-sa were
all burned. In tho upper rooms were
the tents, poles, harness, etc.,
for the entire show, and these, too,
were ail destroyed. In the c-it-room
were the birds, monkeys, ibre-- rhino
ceri, hyenas, tigers, lions aud all the
menagerie, which fell a prey to the
fliraes. So r«i.pi(3ly uid the dimes
leap across the main buildiug that
the fireman made no attempt to save
it, but turned their streams upon the
chariots-buildings and car sheds,
which they succeeded in saving, but,
the heat was so intense that this was
accomplished with the greatest diffi
culty.
The total loss is estimated at §7OO,
000 upon which there was but §IOO,
000 insurance.
Before the building went down
Barnum's agents were busy making
arrangements for obtaining a new lor.
of attractions to supply the loss.
The watchman making his rounds
discovered the fire snd started to give
the alarm, when some unknown per
son hit him on the Lend with a b!unt
instrument, felling him to the grouuii
and cutting a number of severe
gashes ia hid hend. He staggered to
his feet and gave the alarm, enabling
the other watchmen, who were pre-
for bed, to escape.
One of the three elephants burned
was the sacred white elephant. The
lion which the police attempted to
kill at the time the fire broke out was
afterward found in a barn devouring
a cow which he had killed, He was
shot. The fire is now out.
Mr. Barnaul's agent
stated that the show-building wt-uld
be rebuilt, but not in Bridgeport.
TiiC great show would probably go
to Jersey City, where better railroad
facilities could be had.

Judge Agnew on Poetry.
Recently we received from the
HOD. Daniel Agnev a priuted copy of
au address he made on February 7,
1801, before the Students and Facul
ty of Westminster Collejre, Pa. on
tbe subject of ' Poetry" Its coming
was like tbat of an old, or rather a
loner lost friend. We remembered
hearing the Judge deliver a lecture on
' Poetry," in our old Court House
here, and remembered his reference to
what he called the new tield for him
to appear ia—that of a lecturer—and
from this we inferthat was the tirst titue
and here was the place he first spoke
it. We are glad it has been preserved
andthauk tha Judge very much for
the copy he has sent us.
In this lecture Judge Agnew traces
the sources and nature of Poetry in a
logical and philosophical manner, and
clearly demonstrates it is not fiction,
as is generally supposed, but that the
old saying is trua that"a poet is born,
not made." There is no doubt but
that poetry is a gift of nature, tbe
same as the gift of oratory, or any
other natural gift. And there is no
doubt of poets being equally as great
and good in the world as other great
writers aud thinkers* The Judgs
himself in closing this address evinces
the gift somewhat. At that time,
Feb, 7, 18til, tbe dark clouds of civil
war were first rising over our fair
land and the Judge breaks forth in
truly poetic strains to tbe ' Genius
of Columbia," not to take her flight
forever from among us. He then
forecast the desolation of war's threat
ened havoc, and as we read now what
he said tbea we realize what follow
ed aud the blessings we now enjoy of
a purified and Restored Union.
Want of Water.
The cold snap tbat set in last Sat
urday night came too soon, so far as a
supply of water in the streams
springs aud wells is concerned. We
hear from ail parts of this county
that streams and springs are so low
that if they freeze over now a calam
ity must follow to man and beast,
And it appears the same in many
otber parts of the country, particu-
larlv ia the West. It is therefore
to be hoped, and is a subject of prayer,
tbat the present cold speii will not
continue long, and that before an
other co ea to freeze oyer the earth,
the rains will have descended and
replenished the fountains sufficient to
carry all through the coming winter.
Serious Gunning Accident.
I)r. McConneH, Air. Frank Coates,
and another gentleman of Whites
towa went gunniug in the Ebenezer
Dodds place last Saturday. They
separated in the wocds, ami the Dr
and Mr. Coates approached a brush
haap from different directions. A
pheasant rose, Mr. C fired at it, and
the charge of fine shot entered the
left side of the Doctor's face, destroy
ing his left eye, piercing his head and
face, and lodging in the right side of
his neck. When last heard from he
was iu a critical condition. Fie is a
man of family, and standing in
the esteem of that community.

ANIiEKSON—At his heme IU Clintou twp
this county, Thursday evening. Mov. 17,'
ISS7, Samuel Audersjn, Esq., iu the 07th
yesir of his age.
The death of Samuel Anderson removes
one of the most active and best known cit
izens oi our county, He is the last,we believe,
of a family of brothers, well kcown and
influential, in the lower end of this county.
The late Major John Anderson, of Clinton
(p., who some years ago was a commis
sioner of the county, was an older brother
of the deceased. Esq. Anderson's ailment
w.is what is known HS Brigbt'a disease. It
had been affectiug him for several years
past, but not seriously or enough to indi
eata its true nature until recently. He
took his bid on the oth iust. but hopes
were entertained of his recovery until the
the morning ol the day he tiied. lie was
bcrn Oct. 8, 1821, and therefore aged 6t>
years, 1 month and 9 days.
We can speak of the loss of Esq. Ander
son as that of a personal friend, and as
such he was most true and faithful. He
was a uian of decided opinions on all sub
jects, and outspoken and enthusiastic iu the
support of his views. There was no con
cealment or deception in his nature. As a
citizen he was among the most intelligent
and best informed. He was enterprising
ami foremost in church, iu school and in
affairs affecting the good of his neighbor
hood or of the county. lie will be greatly
missed in his section of the county aud the
surviving members of his family have the
sympathy of the entire community in the
great loss they have sustained.

Catarrh Cure
Catarrh is a very prevalent disease, with
distressing and offensive symptoms. Hood's
Sarsaparilla gives ready relief and speedy
cure, from the fact it acts through the blood,
aud thus reaches every part of the system.
" I suffered with catarrh fifteen years. Took
Hood's Sarsaparilla and I am not troubled any
j with eat'an li, and my general health is much
I better." I. W. I.n.i.is, Postal Clerk Chicago
I & St. Louis Railroad,
j " I suffered with catarrh Bor 8 years; tried
j many wonderful cures, inhalers, etc., spend
ing nearly one hundred dollars without benefit,
j 1 tried lloou's Sarsaparilla, and was greatly
j improved." 51. A. AUUEY, Worcester, Mass.
j Hood's Sarsaparilla is characterized by
three peculiarities : Ist, the combination of
i remedial agents; 2d, the proportion; 3d, the
| prccces of securing the active medicinal
| qualities. The result Is a medicine of unusual
i strength, effecting cures hitherto tiuknown.
