SIXTHCONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT MUDDLE The Cincinnati Enquirer Says That Judge Scroggy’s Name Will Go On the Ticket, by Petition. There hoo been much talk during the week about the congressional' situ­ ation iu this district bu t little has .really Weu. done, Thu Hildebtunt bfiomers, including a few newspapers ju the district, aided by the Oineiu- ' i,ati Enquirer, manage to keep a lew reports before the public. The En ­ quirer is very eutiniastic about HHde- jjraid’s chances for gotturg his name oj> the ticket this fait against the re ­ cent district electiou board's deoiaion. All ready the majority of JSepubli- ‘ cults who were friendly to the Iiilde- braist following are .getting suspicious - as to the recent inoves made by him uud bis association with the Demo- Tsrutic wnididatGi Judge-'Runyan, I t is becoming more and inore appearaut that there is u deal oh between Hilde- hriint and Runyan, as was’ staled in the last issue of T he H ekald . -The only fight that is’beirig made to. get rontrol of jjie election, boards is being imi3e by. H jldebrant, himself,- Jndge Scro«gy considering the question ,of who is the- rightful nominee ns settled, rtherefore he needs to pay no further* attention t o . -what. Hildebrant and Runyan are dying. The action of Hildebrant in the organisation of the -Warren county hoard is enough to bar any respect> , able rru»n from politics. '■VVhea: the members of the boatd niet for organi­ sation there were tho usual‘number of ballots taken for the selection of a .clerk-add chairman but was evenly divided. Miss Gallaher, deputy audT . itor, then drew lotSj Ed S3. .CdnkUn heiug declared the- clerk, tins under tho law made .Thomas C .' Christy chairman, which was more than the Hildebrant men qoqld aland and they' left the room without adjournment. The board then preceded to orgsnize, it being certified to as the regular organization. Hildebrant next ap­ pealed to his; friend Lewis Laylin, -<K!i,retary-’Of-sta<R%Ho-red[u8e--ttrTrccog’ "fiieurtH'g^rittythirbBanlridiflt^ok'gB' settlement is made he will remove the members from office; The only ques­ tion about the legality to tbq ognniza- tion wns-ciiusod by the Hildebrant men themselves. The case is without pre­ cedent and is recorded as the" most childish action ever charged a poli­ tician. Wednesday the Enquirer came out with an article stating that the XCuia Jurist’^ name would go On the ticket by petition, the article .hnihg u dis­ patch from Georgetown, the center of the fight where Hildebrant js endeav­ oring tp line up enough members lo give him another hearing, The Press-Republic has the follow­ ing to say in commenting on the En­ quirer’s article: “A Republican leader of tbis-county and a warm friend of Judge Scroggy said, this afternpou: ‘'This cheap talk that the Hildebrant people are giving out is absolutely ridiciuous. When Hildebrant submitted his case to the committee last spring without any protest whatever, just that'instant did he waive any right to afterwards at­ tack their authority to try the merits of the case, and,- although we do not concede for a moment that this coni-; mittee’s decision was not final, still any school boy would know that" foxy Charlie is' trying to play a “ head I Win, tails you loose” gaine,*bufclie has met his equal, as he will find out Some time before next November, ( ., No, Judge-Seroggy has .submitted his case to the final tribunal from whwh. there cap ho no appeal, and no one knows this any hett'er than the gentleman' who ,is tryiDg by every known method to secure .the unheard- of third term in this district,” From what T ab H erald can learn there is absolutely , no truth iu the Enquirer report, is; being only one for the purpose ot holding Hildebrant before the public.

The charges against Col. Buckles are signed by Dr, Ben R, McClellan, \Y. II. Findley and Frank H. Degn and the.sanui ineu make the charges against Rudduok, with Geo, Stiles art additional signe,r. I t is charged of both that they have violated the law of the state of Ohio enacted for the purpose, of establish­ ing the merit system in the control of police and fire departments of the cities of Ohio, and have violated the rules and regulations for the ■control of the fire department adopted by the. Board of PuWio Safety.. The specific charges against -Chief Buckles are that he is taking part in politics, being a member of the office of central committeemen }n Greene county; that he attended. the Repub­ lican congressional nominating bon- Vention for, the Sixth District as a delegate; that'lie is now acting as a member- from Greene county of the Republican congression committee; that, acting ns central committeeman, he recommends the appointment of Jno. W. Hamer to fill a vacancy for {ugde of elections, and that he at­ tended and took'part as a.: delegate in political convention held Sn Xenia by the Republicans'in May, A similar charge preferred against both .Buckles ami Rudduck is that on July 28, 1904, at n .special election held in Xbuia for the purpose of vot­ ing upon the question of prohibit­ ing the sale of intoxicants, he took tin active part in said election by vis­ iting the voting places in the various precincts by Soliciting and attempting to. induce electors, to cast their votes in favor of one of tlie propositions and against the other. ’ . I t is charged against ^Rudduck that On July 28, 1904, he was fouud1 in A state of intoxication. I t is asked that an investigation he made and to remove the' men from their positions. The charges were filled on Satur­ day and are now in tho hands of the Mayor, but no action has been taken as yet with regard to ,thc?n.

If the egg is placed in a saturated solution of com­ mon salt it will show an increasing inclination to float with the long axis vertical. A scale is attached fo the, vessel containing the salt solution So that the inclination of the floating egg toward the horizontal can be meas­ ured. In this way the age of the egg cad be determined almost to a day. A fresh egg lies in a horizontal posi­ tion at the bottom of the vessel; an egg from three to five days old shows an elevation of the fiat end, so that its long axis forms an angle of 20 de gre’es. With an egg eight days old the angle increases to 45 degress; with an egg 14 days old to 60 degrees,, and with one three, weeks old to 75 degrees, while ah egg a month old floats vertically upon the, pointed end,’ LIST O f LETTERS.

The last issue of the Jamestown Press contains a description of High­ ball Potter’s Subway- Saloon ■ in New York. The letter waswritten by Mr, H. E. Metzger to tlip.Shilow Review, tb,e writer being a personal ffiend of the editor of the Press, “Just a short distance from the. “Bowery” and at the corner of Bleeker And Mulberry, a very busy section of the great city of New York, is a nice, clean,- well kept drinking establish­ ment. Here one,can secure the beat drinks on the market, ip either soft or hard grathes, - I t eaters' to women as- well as men. This is the places made '“notorious” by'Bishop, Potter, who claims to be desirous of purifying the saloon traffic;tie fpr as that is concerned it is a success, for the place is clean, cozy*and devoid of the customary low down element, and what, you get is good, and at a reasonable price. As a money maker St has; a gold-mine -situ­ ation, as just in front of its entrance is a subway station' where thousands of people wiil. come ‘and go,. then again hundreds of men pass ’ this place-daily to go to the Mills Hotel, a large building where an army of poor men make' their homes. So. one can readily see that the Bishop had an eye to business when he. selected this place. • - ■After reading of the “Hubway Tav­ ern”. i'of course was anxious to see for myself, so with a.friend l went to in­ vestigate. On entering the front door you come iuto the “Water Wagon,'- two swing doors, .we came into th e . bar-room, very neat and filled with-, nice clean tables where men ccfuld sit and read tbeir papers, On the walls were various pictures concerning pol­ iticians and noted men of New York. We found these very amusing, espec­ ially one in which Dr. Parkhuret was pictured as “seeing ‘things” just- for reform, of course. We stepped to the bar and ordered our drinks, each one treating the other. The bartender took onr money but said nothing to us eoucenmig our treating each other, which, surprised us, as we read that such would not be permitted, How­ ever this was dorie, and besides men Were shaking dice at the bar, sticking each otherJor drinks, and swearing a t each other continually, to Which, the bartender paid lio attention, ' We expected to see religious verses hang­ ing on the walls,but not one wae to he! found, not even the golden rule, but Instead there were pictures which- would bo amusing to the tenderloin. It' seems strange that Bishop Potter, a man of learmug and at the head of one of the greatest and most import­ ant religious organizations ip the .world, should connect even his •name with such an enterprise, one which cannot.help but bring him into dis­ like even by his own followers. For hundreds of years the church has fought against the saloon evil and now one of the foremost leaders en­ courage it.

Between the hours of 7 and 8 o’clock on the above evening Ralph Murdock was turning the corner at Gray’s grocery driving a colt. The animal wanted to atop at the hitching rack and. Mr. Murdock applied the whip causing the colt to iunge into a buggy belonging to Mr. Emerson Shaw, of near Hualed, A crowd soon gathered and the horse unhitched and everything atraightned out, when Mr. Murdock, nseisted by bis father,' Silas, started in to give the animal a good trouncing. In carrying out this part of the program they became abusive to the animal by kicking it in the stomach in a terrible manner. Bystanders appealed to the officer* to arrest the men but nothing was done at .the time. Mr, Thomas Mecbling could no longer see the animal abused and appealed to Mr. Silas Murdock, who the former says, informed him that it was bone of his business and at the same time threw up his hand causing him to think that he was striking at him, whereupon Mr. Mechling let loose his right arm deliv­ ering several blows that brought his man to the ground. By this time excitement was high and the officers took charge of the street dispersing the crowd as beat they could, Mr. T» B.- Andrew, a brother-in- law of Mr, Murdock, went before Mayor McFarland and had a charge of disorderly conduct placed against Mr, Mechling, Marshal Grindle upon learning that such' action had been taken immediately filed a similar charge against each of the Murdocks, The three . appeared before Mayor MeFarisnd Monday morning and were fined $5.60 eAch* LABOR DAY.

Coming as it does between the summer and fall it is an ideal time for a holiday, .Governor, Herrick, in his proelamation setting apart September 5th for'Labor Day, . says; ; ■ In the observance of this holiday let both' employe and employer put aside for.the. time the cares and, re­ sponsibilities of their several callings and join hands in the common pur­ pose of making the festivities of this day worthy o f tho great cause of American labor.” Springfield, Dayton and other near­ by towns have made elaborate prep* parations for B ib proper observance of that day. Springfield will without, doubt surpass any of her previous efforts this year in making tlie affair one of the greatest-in the bistory of that city. A big parade will take place in the morning, horse racing and all kinds of games at the fair grounds- in the afternoon and fire works at night is a part of the pro­ gram. SLAYING WITH FIRE. , Some children in the vicinity of the old Mitchell lumber shed gathered some hay and concluded to start a fire in the building last Sabbath after­ noon. There were four or five in the crowd and they were having a merry time shooting fire crackers and Watch­ ing the burning hay. Mrs. Porter discovered the fire and with the assist­ ance of some of the neighbors put out the fire. I t is very probable .that the building would have burned had it not been for the timely discovery of* the fire, NIAGARA PARTY.
