THE COMING PlANo-.Steinway Up
riqM-Messrs. Adams * Lucas, 1927
Market street, have recently succeeded
in introducing the Steinway Upright
Pianos in Wheeling, by the sale OF sev-
eral Of those superior instruments to
some OF our citizens.
The Upright Piano ia. from its small
compact form and handsome exterior,
especially suited 10 the boudoir, the re-
ceptiJn room and the parlors OF many
houses where Grand or Square Piano
could not be conveniently placed.
Measrs. Steiuway Il Sons have, after
long and earnest study and expert
ments, succeeded in producing Up
right Piauoiortes which are the
most perfect instruments OF
their class ever constructed. The
volume OF tone is fully equal 10 any oil
Steinwsy's best Square Grand Pianos,
while the quality is Of the most exquis-
lite musical character-pure, sympa-
tbetic, and in the highest degree pliable.
The durability OF these new Upright
Pianos, and their capacity OF standing
in tune, is unparalleled in the history
OF piano making, and even greater than
that OF the beet Grand and Square Pr
apos.
Too much can not be said in favor oil
these instruments, in fact, they must be
seen aud heard to be appreciated.
There is no doubt whatever that the
Steinway Upright Piano will shortly
displace other styles OF instruments,
and the Messrs. Adams IL Lucas, cole
agents for the came, assure US that
there is q rapidly increasing demand
hele for the same, and that they intend
in future to keep a stock OF them
constantly on hand

PEOfLEN IAFTr IN JEFFER
son COUNTY.

On our first page will I've found the
proceedings of the Peoples Conven-
ton of Jefferson county. 1t will b.
observed that the most prominent
and substantial citizens Of that coun-
ty, of both political parties, partici-
patcil in the meeting, and the ticket
nominated embraces men of known
integrity and worth, who have been
tried and were never found wanting.
The resolutions adopted by the Con-
vention, which are published as a
part Of the: proceedings, express in
unmistakable language the determin-
alton If the good people Of that coun-
~ to wipe out the official corlnorants
who have drained their treasury and
: would have brought inevitable bank
ruptcy upon the county had not their
profisacy been checked by this EN-.
phatic movement Of ;lie people.
We are gratified to see the noble
stand taken by the people of our sis
ter county, in whose welfare we take
. deep interest, and from what we can
learn it was time fer them to take de.
cilell measures for 4 reform III the all.
m:nistration Of her public AFFAIRS
The re 'OlutiOns show great deficien-
-cy on the part Of ller old officials in
the management Of the finances Of
that county.
In this connection we wish to call
the attention of the taxpayers of
jefferson county to one instance where
party interests were considered para
mount to the public welfare of that
county; where their money has been
used to fatten political organ at the
expense OF the people. We allude to
the late publication Of the Receipts
and Expenditures" Of that county.
Bids were solicited from the different
newspaper publishers Of the Territory
for the publication Of the same, osteu.
sibly for the purpose Of securing it at
the lowest possible figures. We learn
from reliable source, and from a par.
~ having the means Of ascertailing
all the facts in the care, that our bid
was by far the lowest one received.
notwithstanding this the work was
awarded to the Madisomian. It would
he we'll for the taxpayers Of Jefferson
10 look ito this matter. 1t is not the
first instance where the officials OF
that county have made public interest
subscrvient to party prejudices. Once
before we offered to do job Of work
for that county tor e2OD, which was
handed over to the Gazette, the party
organ Of those then in power, and
that concern charged and was paid
ont Of the county treasury Of Jeder

Of a goose once saved Rome. 1t is
now related that swallow won 4
suit in a court away down in Texas.
A poor widow and her daughter had
a suit for damages before a court in
Houston. The counsel for the plain
tiff introduced into his pleadings the
fable of the swallow that built her
nest and reared her young under the
caves of temple Of justice. The
lawyer enlarged upon the swallows
trust in the protection Of her home

made the application to the case be.
fore the court. When the counsel
was about finishing the illustration a
swallow actually flew into that court
room and alighted upon the Judges
desk. 1t then hoped away and found
rest for the sole of its foot on the
ratings of the jury box. In its cir
cult of the courtroom it halted awhile
on pile of law books, then lowered
a moment over the heads Of the
plaintiffs, and flew out of the window
and away. The counsel concluded
by saving: "Behold the Witness"
and as the witness could not be called
back by the opposing counsel, the
case was given to the jury pretty
much as the swallow left it. The
Jury could not ignore the birds evil
dence, and gave verdict for the wild

The Augusta (Me) Journal has
the following account of a protracted
battle between two oxen in that
State:
"Mr. Corydon Chadwick and Mr..
Sullivan Erskine have pasture IN
common at South China, which they
use for the pasturage of cattle.
They have the present season, had
several yokes of cattle in the pasture.
Mr.. Chadwick and Mr.. Erskine have
each an OK with a Topped or crooked
horn, the right horn Of one and the
lett of the other having that peculiar
formation. These oxen were turned
loose into the common pasture, and
it was between them, on that spot,
that the pitched battle Of which We
are going to speak, took place. For
several days these cattle had been
missing; when the other cattle came
up these were not among the number.
How many days they had been mis-
sing before search was instituted il
not known, but becoming alarmed
the owners went in quest OF them.
Coming to an opening i'll the woods,
covering an area Of about half an
acre, Mr.. Chadwick, who went in
search came upon sickening spec
tacle. The Topped horns of the oxen
were clasped, and the exhausted ami
mails, united compactly, stood face
to face, waiting for death, having ap-
parantly given up the struggle. 1t
is supposed that while they were en-
gagged in play their horns became en-
tangled; failing to disconnect them
selves, a terrible struggle of several
days took place. The open space
was literally torn up as though it had
been plowed with subsoil plow.
When they were turned into the pas
ture they were large, 7-feet oxen. but
now they had become SO emaciated
and famished that a person could al
most clasp them around with his
arms. They were perfectly docile
when found, but Mr.. Chadwick
could not unite the knot. The horn
of each was sunk into the others
head, and it vas only by calling
help, and saving the horns of, that
a separation could be effected.
There were fostering sores where the
horns went in. Thus mortal con-
flict, lasting eight days, had been
going on between these oxen, who
in that time had not partaken Of any
subsistence, aid perhaps had not been
able to lie down. Their jaws had to
be pried open, and Cruel administer
ed to them. Their heads had been
united so closely that their faces
were bare to the bone. 1t is posi-
