Tn 1898 in tho month Of April, when
encamped at Sirpur, the villagers gave
Outram information OF o tiger that had
been marked down in the thorny langaii
TO the north Of the village This part OF
the country was plain, and there was no
hill ar rayine near. Ontram started on
foot spear in hand, a follower carrying
a rifle, and some six others bows ana
arrows The tiger broke ground on their
approach. Outram followed him on loot
three miles, and eventually speared him
to death. This act, it is affirmed, has
never been equaled before or since IN
Kondcsh, On another occasion he stood
spear in hand, like gladiator i'll the
arena of Roman amphitheater ready
for the throwing open OF the Wild beast S
cage. The bushes were set on ire TO-
and the tiger, by no means relishing, the
smoke, came, putting and blowing like
porpoise, every five or six seconds, to
yet a little fresh air, but, seeming the
elephant, he was always fain to retreat
again This sort of work went on Tor
some time, and bush after bush blazed
away without producing the desired
effect could not have stood the sus-
pense when life was at stake. At last
there was low, angry growl, and a
scuflling rustic in the passage. The
tiger sprang out, and down descendedthe
long lance into his neck, just behind the
dexter ear. With one stroke OF his pow
erful paw he smashed the spear close to
the head. There was a pretty business.
Mr.. Tiger one step below, with the steel
sticking in his neck, which by no means
improved his temper, had gathered his
huge headquarters below him for q des,
perato spring. and my friend, armed aft
or the fashion of the South Sea Island

defiance and brandishing his bamboo on
high. Eventually the tiger was shot by
one Of the party. Outram had some

THE editor of the Richie Gazette
does not like to be told of the beau
ties of his party, when it had control
over the destinies of this State. He
quotes some sentences Of an
editorial that appeared in the New
DOMINION short time ago, enumer-
ating some of the laws which were
in existence under Radical rule in
this State. Now it is our firm be-
lief thai the Republican party, once
more in power in this State, would
enact the same laws again, in spite
of Bro. Morris's kindness to cite us
the anecdote of Rip Van Wrinkle.
That we have not been asleep shows
that we warned the Democrats of
the State of the danger of a Radical
triumph this fall. That we are not
asleep, proves that Bro. Morris would
make it appear so. No doubt the
Radicals of the State would desire
nothing better than to find us nap
ping, and our eyes shut to the potent
fact that the above mentioned laws
could be re enacted. Those accused
laws, the offspring of Radical par
entage, will never be forgotten by
us. We will never forget that rel
alive of ours, an old citizen of this
county, one of natures noblemen, one
whose character was above reproach,
one who was never charged with any
thing wrong, Christian in every
sense of the word, was DISTINGUISHED
in his old age, denied the right of
free American citizen, because he
did nothing but vote the Demo
cratic ticket. We would deserve to
sleep the everlasting sleep should we
ever so far forget ourselves as to
help party into power, who, to keep
itself in power, would pay no respect
to mans worth or age. We would
have slept the sleep of Rip Van Win
kle, should we ever have forgotten
that the good old man referred to,
died broken hearted, from the ingrat-
itude and bad usage he received at
the hands of his old neighbors. And
as long as we WELD pen or pencil, we
will do our best to help to defeat
party which will repeat what it has
done before. We will on all occa-
sions drag those laws before the ris-
ing generation, and bid them to be-
ware, to pause, and ponder at the
enormlty Of those laws. We will
call on every young voter who re-
spects his old father not to cast a
ballot which may have the tendency
to disfranchise his aged parent. If
this is fin to you, let it be so, it is
no fun to the thinking mind. The
making light of stubborn facts will
not destroy them. Those laws are
written with blood on our memory, to
the everlasting disgrace of set of
men, who would enact them again
had they the power to do so.

A MAN named Clarence E. Davis

A MAN named Clarence E. Davis
has gotten into jail in Chicago on
somebody's plea that he has too
many wives. 1t is not an unusual
thing, particularly in Chicago, but
this man seems to have been little
more than ordinarily active in the
way of matrimony. How many wives
he really has cannot just now be as
certained, but seven or eight have re-
ported, and there are five or six
mothers-in law just to give spice to
the situation. The young man had
a sanguinary struggle on the pave
ment with one of these mothers-in-
law just before he was taken to Jail,
during which he was convinced that
he had been OVERRIDING the business
of getting married. Having been
safely locked up he officially notified
the officers that he was tired Of so
much domestic life, and was glad to
get where he could free himself from
it. Being in Chicago he will doubt
less get handful Of divorces and
make fresh start. The world is
full of light-headed young women
ready to marry anybody who comes
along and no questions asked.

WE take the following from the
West Virginia Real Estate Journal:
1--WE desire to state few facts con-
corning West Virginia, more for the
purpose of answering the mental in
quiries of those contemplating
change of home, either IN the hopes
of lettering their fortunes or to
build up failing health in the mild,
salubrious climate of the Mononga-
hela and West Fork Valley, than
with an idea of influencing any one
improperly.
We have a delightful and health
full climate. No one will question
this statement.
The land, while varied in charac-
ter, is wonderfully productive. 1t is
generally of limestone formation, and
the soil is such that everything plant
ed grows, and neither growth or yield
can be excelled These lands vary in
price, according to location, the state
of cultivation and improvement.
The State of West Virginia is yet
young, but is pushing proudly on
ward in the development of her ag-
ricultural and mineral resources.
The Monongahela and West Fork
Valley is one solid coal field, and its
treasures are easy of access, the coal
seams cropping out along the banks
of the rivers and creeks. AT Fair
mont there are at present nine mines
open, and most Of them are ship
ping coal.
This vast mineral wealth, with our
agricultural resources, make this one
of the richest countries in America.
There is no need Of going West for a
home. We have plenty of land and
houses for you. Call on us or write
us for descriptions of what you
want.

WE have frequently spoken of the
adaptability Of West Virginia to
sheep culture, as being superior to
any other State in the Union in this
respect, owing to the climate, excel
lent grazing facilities, and good wa
ter. Our lands are rolling and es-
pecially suited to this branch of
husbandry, and we are glad to see
that an interest is being awakened
in this matter. Wool Growers As
sociations have been organized in
many counties Of the State. We
would be pleased if some of the en-
terprising Wool Growers of Penn
sylvania would purchase farms in
this State and engage in the bust
ness. We have several farms for
sale specially suited to this purpose.

~ excellencies, yet when she con
strained him to admit his partial
skepticism she honestly told him she
could not mary any man unless he
was firm believer in the whole BIZ
bic.
The match was thus broken off,
and in year or two Mr.. Hill was
married to Miss Caldwell. Not
far from the same time Miss Hender-
son was married to John Davis, an
uncle of mine, living in Trumbull
county Ohio.
In the course Of six or eight years
my uncle John and MIR. Hills first
wife were both dead. Mr.. Hills
skepticism had yielded to divine rev.
citation, and now as he looked around
for step-mother for his children
no one seemed likely to fill the place
so well as the woman who had once
conscienciously refesed him. His
proposals were renewed, and rs he
had been now for years member
and elder in the Presbyterian Church
of Morgantown, all objection on her
part was removed. They were mar
ried some two or three years before
l came to board with them. Their
first and only child was about three
months old at the time ofmy arrival.
Theyimight with great deal of pro-
priety have named him Isaac, but
they did not, but called him Ashbel
Fairchild, in honnor of the old pas
tor formerly at Morgantown and af-
forwards at Georges creek and the
Tent. This boy was reared with the
greatest tenderness and love. Every
want was anticipated every wish was
gratifed. He grew up beloved and
petted by all, received a reasonably
good education, went to the army
and lost a leg. He came back ex-
pecting to marry young lady to
whom he was engaged previous to
going, but she refused him. This
embittered his life. He tried to
shake it Off by writing a romance
called "The White Rocks" in which
there is considerable of truth and
a great deal Of fiction. Finally he
died.
The year of my sojourn in Nor
gantown was one of great political
excitement, affordinging an opportu
nifty of seeing the difference between
logical reasoners and dogmatical ty-
rants in their different methods Of
expounding their political faith. ]

men, both resident lawyers and both
belonging to the same party. The

name with great pleasure the man
who condescended to reason with his

Hon. Edgar &. Wilson, an elder in
Mr.. Davis church. He had also
represented his Congressional dis
trict in the National Legislature.
His first wife was Miss Mary Ann
Oliphant, daughter of Andrew Oil
plant, ESQ.,, of Fayettee county. His
second wife was Miss Eliza Oliphant,
sister of my benefactor, F. H. Oil

VOL. VIII.

The State Journal, in its last is
sue, copied quite a number of arti-
Giles which have appeared from time
to time in this paper. about Henry S.
Walker. 1t charges us with putting
him down in our calendar as Dem
ocratic saint. Now if we have ever
done such thing, of which we now
have no knowledge, we did not
know the man as we do nov. At
the time that Walker was Public
Printer, and charged by the Radio
ais of this State, and a good many
Democrats, too, with populations in
office, we were not an editor of
Democratic paper, but very well do
we recollect, as young as we were, of
the expressions of many Democrats
that in their opinion Mr.. Walker
ought to be removed from his posi-
ton. AS we knew nothing of Mr..
Walkers sgnilt sor Innocence in the
matter charged,we gave him the ben
fit of the doubt. But his subsequent
career proves that he is everything
the State Journal, with the balance
of the Radical papers in the State,
together with all the Radical politi-
clans and stumpers, had him charged
with. That Walker has scld
himself for money, is abundantly
proven by the testimony of Ex-Sec-
rotary German, of the National Re-
publican Committee. And that he
will do so again, or has done so, is
very apparent, from the fact that ev-
cry Radical paper, and every Radical
of note in the State,is now his warm
defer der. This clearly shows that
there Is something rotten in Denmark.
Our opinion of Mr.. Walker is shared
by every Democrat in Monongalia
county. In no portion of the State
could be found more true friends of
Mr.. Walker than in this county.
They looked upon him as one of their
sons. Here in Morgantown he was
well known, receiving his education
at the old Academy, under Prof J.
r. Moore. They would have voted
for him, to a man, for any Office.
But how is it now? Not one vote
could Mr. Walker get now, unless he
should receive it from Republican.
If Walker was saint in the Demo
cratic party, so was the Devil at one
time an Angel in Heaven. AS the
devil was cast out from his happy
abode, 50 Walker is cast out from
the Democratic party, and we hope,
indeed, like the devil, he will stay out
forever. The prating of Walker and
his new. allies about purifying the
party to which he belonged, or he
left it because it was too corrupt, is
so very shallow that school boy in
his first reader, would smile at the
assertion, A chronic office seeker,
for years, he only deserted his old
party when he found out that it
would lie impossible for him to get
the nomination for any office. His
political associates knew the man,
they knew that he would disgrace
the Office and the party that would
elect him, and. therefore, cast him
aside, to make room for gentlemen
of character and integrity. In con-
clusion, we congratulate the State
Journal on the new accession to its
party. The character Of the man
clearly indicates that he ought to be;
one Of you, indeed

A SUGGESTION TO THE DISTRICT AGRI-
CULTURAL SOCIETIES.

Why cannot the District Agricultural
Societies propose classified exhibits of the
products of their several jurisdictions for
the State Fair? 1t would not require
much time to obtain and arrange them.
and if they were displayed with plain and
sufficient labels, in the Pavilion, they would
prove very valuable and instructive.
Specimens of the soil of the various coun-
ties should accompany the different pro.
auctions, and statements of the average rain.
fall should also be appended. Such an ex.
hibit would enable strangers to ascertain
with very little trouble the characteristics
of various parts of the State, and it would
add very greatly to the practical utility
of the Fair Ii the District Societies
think it too late this year to make such
arrangements, they will do well to discuss
the subject with an eye to future exhibit
tions. One of the greatest needs of all
our State Fairs has been in this direction.
Visitors from the East and from foreign
countries uOoliC w aoSSi Vail hhas 10 SlOhH
in other parts of the State, what kind of
soil it is grown in, what are the climatic
conditions, and so forth. All these in
quiries could be answered at the cost of
little trouble, and we are convinced that
the results would be generally satisfactory,
and would increase the value of the State
Fairs greatly, and give them much broader
significance.
