ARRESTED FOR FoRGERy.-One ola

ARRESTED FOR FoRGERy.-One day
last week a young man named Lee
Shriver entered the store of Swisher,
Carpenter d Co., in this place, and
said he desired to purchase suit OF
clothes, stating at the same time that
he had no money and wanted to be
trusted for few days. Not being
personally known to the firm, his re-
quest was refused, whereupon he of
fered to produce testimonials from
substantial men as to his honesty
and uprightness. Being informed
that such document would enable
him to get the clothes ''on tick" he
left the store, and after short alb
sence returned with a certificate of
standing having the name of MIR.
Orlando Hayhurst attached thereto.
Knowing Mr.. Hayhurst to be one of
our best citizens, the firm no longer
hesitated, and Shriver went away with
the clothes under his arm. But after
wards, from some cause, thinking
that all was not right, inquiries were
made, and the fact was revealed that
the recommendation puporting to
come from Mr.. Hayhurst was for
gerry. Thereupon Messrs. Swisher,
Carpenter Il Co. went before Squire
T. A. Fleming and swore out war
rant for the arrest of Shriver, which
was executed by Constable Thomas
Reed. A preliminary trial was had,
and in default of bail the prisoner
was committed to jail to await future
action in his case.--Fairmont Vest
Virginian.

THE WESTERN RURAL.

In recent issue of The Western Ru-
raj. published at Chicago, we examined
with interest some microscopial illustra-
tons showing the difference between
butter and oleomargarine, with scien-
tific description, showing also the diff
ference between genuine butter and the
patent stuff with startling result. Up
on the authority of The Rurrl we find
that, in the large cities already millions
of pounds of animal fats are converted
into .'butter and sold in the market az
C eamery or dairy product, thus not only
threatening the very existence of the le-
Ultimate dairy interest, but also the health
rof the consumer, as it is found that Iiv-
ing organisms are developed in the pat.
ent article. The Rural demands the
passage of law in every State compel>
ling the manufacturer ana vender to
brand the name on every package, as a
guide to the consumer.
The publisher has also recently issued
100000 extra copies of The Rural on the
question of a cheaper and more uniform
system of transportation over our rail-
roads This matter is being pressed up>
on the attention of our legislators for reg
ulation, backed by tens of thousands Of
petitions. Send for free sample copy
of The Western Rurdl.

OUR brethren of the Fairmont In
der are very much exercised because
the Legislature failed to make any
appropriation for the support of the
Normal Schools. In their righteous
indignation they are striking aimless-
" about them with the vague hope
Of demolishing aLy one who may net
have made special effort in behalf of
the Normal School appropriation du-
ring the session of the legislature last
winter. They make several little
filings at the University in their last
issue, all Of which are untrue and we
have no doubt were made without q
knowledge Of the facts. Let us as
sure YOU that not friend of the Uni
versity raised his hand against the
Normal School appropriation. Pres't
Thompson through the journal Of
Education deprecated such a thing,
and moralized at some length on the
unwisdom Of trying to starve the Nor
NAL Schools. 1t is to be regretted
that these schools were not provided
for; they have been an immense pow
err for good in the past and we hope
to see their usefulness continued.
West Virginia cannot afford to dis
pense with any of her schools. She
needs them all, and if we can judge
from the degree of intelligence of the
masses Of her citizens she needs
many more. If Hon. John Right
er voted against the appropriation for
the Normal Schools, what could be
expected from persons entirely disin-
terested? What could we say if one
of our own representatives had voted
against the University appropriation
We certainly would not have bla med
Marion county for it. We have no
idea that Fighter thought the schools
a nuisance, and that as such they
should be abated. If the Hon. John
did think so, he was very much mis-
taken, and stands a living monument
to bear convincing testimony that
such is not the case. We are glad to
learn that the school at Fairmont is
in fourishing condition, and con-
graduate its energetic principal upon
her success and hope it may always
be thus. We believe that when the
gentlemen are in possession Of all the
facts they will not endeovor to excite
prejudice against any person or any
school.

ATTEMPTED MURDER IN FAYETTR
CoUNTY.-Mr. A. j. Coffman highly
respected citizen of Fayette county,
Pennsylvania seems to be the object
ON which some outlaw wants TO vent
his malice. His barn was recently
burned and one night last week some
miscreant fired pistol ball from the
outside of the house into the bed
where Mr.. and Mrs. Coffman were
sleeping. The ball imbedded itself
in Mrs. C's. skull and made a very
ugly wound though her physicians
think it will not prove fatal. The
community was very much excited
and had the assassin been arrested it
is more than likely he would have been
lynched. The Masontown CORES
pendent Of the Uniontown STANDARD
says: "Mr. Coffman is young man,
and has been married about a year.
He did not know that he had an ene-
my in the world He is farmer and
and stands very well in the commune
ty in which he resides. From the
tracks about the house it is supposed
that two men were engaged in the at
tempt on his life. He has no suspi-
cion who they may be. This COM
munity has been infested with a
class of thieves and night providers
for number of years past, but they
never before came out SO boldly as
in this case. Their depredatio2s
have been heretofore limited to hen
roosts and smoke houses"

Jacob Blue, in his 55th year. sake
was we'll known to everybody, having
been hostler at the old National Ho
tel here for SO many years, and af
forwards at the "Wallace House," and

LAwLEssNEss IN MARION COUNTY
The DoINGs OF THE RED MEN"-A
MEMBER OF THE MARION COUNTY BAR
TARRED AND FEATuERED.-A special
dispatched to the Wheeling Register
from Pennington gives the following
account of the action of the "yigi-
lantes" near that place last week:
This town and vicinity have been
infested for sometime with q set OF
persons who disregard all laws and
have delicd them by selling whisky
and living in the most open adultery,
till patience has ceased to be virtue.
Late last night band of thirty or
forty men, supposed to belong to the
order recently organized in this coun-
ty, known as the Red Men, visited
this place, calling first at Mrs. Nc
Cures, who lives about two miles
west of here. After spilling her
whisky and breaking jugs, kegs, &c,
they left without doing further dam
age They next called at the office
of David l.. Snodgrass, attorney-at-
law, broke open the door, and instead
of finding him they found his son.
They then went to the house of Mrs.
Pleasy Toothman, broke the door OPP
en-, found Snodgrass, the man they
were looking for, and took him out
and applied hickory CAD to his back,
giving him twenty-five lashes, and
then gave him and Pleasy Toothman
and Jane Brumage each coat of tar
and feathers. They next called at
Joseph f. Morgan's, who lives about
a mile from town, and gave him and
woman staying at his house, named
Belle Young, q coat Of tar and feath-
ers. 1t is not known if they gave
Morgan a whipping or not, but they
gave Belle Young orders to hunt 9th
er quarters. They left for their
homes.
Snodgrass was some time since fin
ed fifty dollars by the Circuit Court
at Fairmont, for cohabiting with
Pleasy Toothman. He is fifty-fve
and she is forty-fve years old, and
both have children married. Snod-
grass has left town.
While these chaps may accomplish
good work, they violate law and the
Marion county authorities should
have such lawlessness suppressed
1t is certainly dangerous thing for
men to take the law into their own
hands and administer it in so peremp-
tory manner. If Marion keeps on
she viii earn the title of Wetzel
No. 2.
