Ex-Congressman Paul J. Sorg, the millionaire tobacco manufacturer, yesterday threw a bombshell in the camp of the friends of John K. MoLain, of the Enquirer, by making public announcement of his earnest candidacy for the United States Senate, to succeed Senator Mark Hanna. The volume of business transacted at the port in Philadelphia during the past six months has been phenomenally large, the exports of pe- trolenm during that time having reached 27,198,093 gallons in excess of the corresponding period of last year; the corn exports are 10,000,000 and wheat shipments 1,000,000 greater than during the first six months of last year. The Ohio Democracy is trying to make itself believe that there is a chance for it this fall to win a victory.

There was never a greater mistake. Governor Bushnell will be elected by a majority. The The Republican party only needs to get its full vote out to win any election in Ohio and there need be no alarm about that this year. The mother of presidents is not going to slump at a critical time like this. ALUMNI BANQUET Of Olifton High School on Friday Evening, June 4th, The drat meeting of the Clifton high school alumni association met, upon invitation, at the elegant country mansion of Mr.

Harry Corry, on Friday evening, June 4. After glad social greetings of old schoolmates and renewals of old acquaintances, and the reception and introduction of new graduates and invited guests, all were seated about the spacious rooms, each class seated together. The president, Miss Lida Elder, called the meeting to order, and made the welcoming address, greeting the classes with pleasant words of cheer. Mr. Harry Hackett of the class of '97, responded in a few appropriate words.

Strawberries and cake were then served, -after which Miss Lucy Stewart called the roll of the members, thirty-nine responding to their names. Since the organization of the High School 65 members have graduated and five of these have died. After another course of cake and iced pineapple sherbet the president introduced Prof. E. E.

"Well," said the political boss, "we have been sending so many wise men to Congress and they have turned out to be such fools that we decided to reverse the rule and send a fool to see if he wouldn't turn out a wise man." toast master for the evening, Rev. Brownlee, who was to have filled that position, being unable to attend. Prof. McC. however, filled the position with great acceptability and by his quick wit and good humor added much to the enjoyment of the occasion.

The coins pass freely everywhere.

Only experts can pick them out. These counterfeiters realize a profit of 100 per cent. They can buy in the market for 28 cents the required weight of silver for a half-dollar.

ADDITIONAL LOOALS. John Forman was up before Mayor Linkhart this morning on the charge of obtaining money under false pretences. It seems that Mr. Henry Keoce has a buggy, the wheels of which are a little out of order, and John discovered that fact. Ho told Mr.

Reece that a man in Dayton had some first-class buggy wheels which he could purchase for only GO cents and induced Mr. Reeco to give him that amount with which to get the wheels. He spent the 50 cents and no wheels appeared and Mr. Reece swore out a warrant for hie arrest. He was lined $15.15 and received 30 days.

MITCHELL'S FATHEB Cannot Eecover Damages According to This Statement, Ex-President Cleveland is renewing his youth at Princeton by being one member of nearly every audience at the college athletic sports. The boys seem to appreciate his interest and the other day when he way unable Jo be present at a base-ball game which the Princeton club won, the students to the number of 700 or 800 formed in line and marched to the house, singing "G-r-o-ver, G-r-o-ver, rah, rah, rah." The ex-President came to the porch to find out the meaning ef the visit, and, when he was told that Princeton had beaten Harvard 2 to 0, he promptly declared that he shared their joy. Then the boys gave three cheers for "Grover," three cheers for Mrs. Cleveland and three cheers "for the kids;" the pro- IKLD, June investigation of the law passed by the last General Assembly reveals the fact, it is said, that the i'uiher of "Click" Mitchell, who was lynched at Urbana, cannot bring suit for damages.

The dead man has two half brothers and two half nistora, and, under the law of consanguinity, they become his legatees. Mitchell had two brothers, but both are dead. His father and mother were divorced, and both married again. His mother is EOW wedded to a colored man named Church, and they have two sons. His father is married to a white woman, and they have two daughters.

The law recognizes them before it does the father, and they will have to bring the suit. June 8, '97. I. T. Cummins and family visited relatives in Lumberton and McKays Sabbath.

Miss Louie Smith entertained her St.John and Miss JFaulk ner, of Paintereville. Children's Day service at M. church, June 20bh, at 10: 30 a. m. The Children's Day service at New Hope Sabbath evening was attended by a large crowd, who enjoyed the excellent program immensely.

The decoration was extensive and beautiful. The crowd that attended the convention Sabbath, was the largest that Lumberton has tried to entertain for many a day, not one hair Uuiug able to get inside the church. The program was very interesting and well rendered and the discussion was quite spirited. Roscoe Conklin was 29 years old last Wednesday and his wife and near relatives planned to surprise him. But he caught on some way and was ready to greet them.

An elegant dinner was eervod and everybody was happy and a good time enjoyed. LIST OF LETTEES, Mrs. Elizabeth Edmonsou, who departed- this life Sunday afternoon, had been suffering from cancer about eight years, having, we believe, about fifteen cancers on her body at one time. She was operated upon, still she suffered intensely and was almost at death's door dozens of times, but she would rally, her vitality being something wonderful. When in health Mrs.

Edrnonson was very industrious and frugal and was an exceptionally good housewife. During her long illness her husband never complained, but on the other hand he administered to her many wants in a manner and with patience that was almost superhuman after working all day, he would sit up and wait upon her at night. He spent hundreds of dollars in trying to cure her and he deserves the highest praise for the attention he gave her. SEEING- VALLEY, The Circuit Court was engaged yesterday at Dayton in hearing the petition in error from the Common Pleas Court in the case of Albert J. Frantz, under sentence for the murder of Bessie Little.

-There was nothing new presented in the case, the attorneys for the defense making their fight for a new trial specially upon two admission by the Court as evidence of a pistol which was not the one with which the crime was committed and the incom- petency of three jurors, Davis, Von Engle and Daugherty, who, it is charged expressed opinions derogatory to the defendant, and on account of which they could not render a fair and impartial verdict. The court took the case under advisement. The races Thursday, May 27th, at the Whitson stock farm, were well attended. The audience was entertained in a pleasing manner by the contests in the green trot and pace. Raymond Hurley won the green trot by a two-year-old by Martin Hal.

The pace was won by Nellie owned by G. E. Sellars. Gladness Comes ith abetter understanding of the transient nature of Hie mauy physical ills, which vanish before proper ef- easan rightly directed.

It Makes Hair Grow.J The recent trouble at Urbana has brought up the subject as to Ijnch- ings that have previously occurred in this state and the papers have given accounts of the number of times that Judge Lynch has held sway. There was a lynching bee In Greene county a few years ago that has not appeared in any of the published reports of such events, the reason being that the man was lynched so quietly that it caused scarcely a ripple of excitement and the matter has almost entirely faded out of the minds of persons in the vicinity. The victim was Peter Betters a colored man who was hanged at Jamestown on the night of June 18, 1887. He had committed an assault on an old colored lady named Mrs.

Martha Thomas, now residing in Xenia. He treated her in the roughest manner, knocking her down Breaking her arm and several ribs and throwing a coal oil lamp at her head. The fellow arrested and locked and that night the cell window was pried open, and Betters quietly taken out by a band of determined colored men. He was taken out to the Jamestown fair ground where he was hanged to a tree and his" body was discovered the next morning. Nothing was ever known as to who meted out -justice to Betters, and the work was so qnickly and quietly done that the inhabitants of Jamestown, except those who participated in it, were not aware of the lynching until the next morning.

It is gratifying to learn that you are not the only button in the contribution box, the only flea on the dog, the only can on the dump, the only oyster in the stew, the only dog in pond, the only poster on the fence, the only shirt in the window, the only seed in the pumpkin, the only page in the Bible, the only cloud in the sky, the only mussel on the rock, the only minnow in the brook, the only pebble on the beach, the only wave upon the sea, the only bug in the bed, the only pig in the bush, the only log in the swim, the only bob-tailed boss in the race, the only postoffice candidate in the lurch.

Such expressions sound silly, perhaps, but there is a world of philosophy in them.
