LAW AND ORDER.

Elsewhere will be found a card
published by Mayor Shut, in ref
erence to some remarks we made
yesterday, about disorder on the
streets. We are glad that our little
local has had the effect of directing
attention to the night owls and
roughs. Whenever and wherever
the rowdy element prevails, law
and order are mockedand civilized
people usually leave for civilized
communities. Whenever and
wherever there is an attempt on
the part of this element, to outrage
the peace and quietness of the
community, and to defy law and
the officials, then must the good
people assert their rights and
their manhood, lin the preservation
of law and order. We are thank
full that in Martinsburg, the ma
jority of the people believe in
maintaining peace and quietness,
and have no sympathy with those
who either from habit or choice,
are guilty of disturbing the peace
Or offending the law.

when it enters upon its second
year of existence. In its strug-
giles it has found many true friends
and developed many latent, but
cowardly enemies. To the former
we have only to say, we propose
to stand by you; to the latter,you
will find us at your front,in honor
and not in disgrace. Its editors are
not candidates for and expect no
public position, but propose to
pursue an independent course, and
sustain such measures and men as
will best conduce to pub.
lie safety and public advance
ment. We tried politics long
enough, to gain a pretty good
insight into rings and men, and
we propose to profit by our expe-
rience, for which we paid dearly,
and never again be the dupes of
two-sided, single aimed politi-
clans, or ambitious, time-serving
men. In other words, we mean
straight, square business, and ex-
pect to merit the approval and
support Of all honest, honorable
men. To drones, dead-heads and
fossils, all we have to say is, we
propose to prod you, until you
move min theonward march. We
expect to grow in size and
as Martinsburg grows,
and hence we shall labor in the
future as in the past to forward
every enterprise that will benefit
our already thriving town.

CONCESSION OF A HORRIBLE MUIR
DER.


ATCHIsoN, KANSAS, February
19.-J. w. McNutt, one of the
parties implicated in the murder
of man named Seaver at Wichita
Kansas, a short time ago, was ar
rested Tuesday in Missouri and
taken to Wichita. Yesterday he
made a confession. The object of
the murderer was to secure a So, 900
insurance policy on McNutt's life
by having the body of the murder
ed man identified as that of Me-
Mutt. The murderer confessed
that he and one Winnie, his accom-
plice, enticed Seaver from Kansas
city, drugged him with laudanum
bound cords tightly around his
body, saturated his clothing with
kerosene and then fired the build
ing. burning the unfortunate man
to a crisp. The populace of Wichi-
Ia are much excited aud there is
danger of summary vengeance be-
lag visited upon the murderers.
