A REMARKABLE MAN.-There lives
man in Scott county, Va, by the name
of Miller who it is claimed, can cure any
and all diseases by simply laying his
hand on the afflicted portion OF the
body and repeating portions OF Scrip
ture applicable TO the case. Having
seen an account in recent number OF
the Bristol News, of the remarkable
cures performed by this remarkable
man. Messrs. Frank Brown and Peter
Whitesell, of this place, the former af-
Aicted with deafness and the latter with
cancer last week paid Mr.. Miller visit
in order TO be healed. They have both re-
turned, land are in high spirits overitheir
trip. Mr.. Brown claims to hear almost
as well as he ever did, and believes that
in short time his hearing will be en-
tirely restored. Mr.. Whitesell's face
does not show any material change, but
be does not suffer particle from pains
as heretofore. He states that MIR. Mil
Ter told him that he would be entirely
cured in a short time; that in few days
the diseased parts would slough off and
that the sore would rapidly heal. The
sloughing off has already commenced,
and no power on earth can make Mr.
Whitesell believe that he will not get
well.
Messrs. Brown and Whitesell tell of
some remarkable cures they witnessed
at Mr.. Millers house. They tell of an
old lady whose hands were entirely
clenched; and her limbs doubled up,
from rheumatism, entirely cured in a
very few minutes Also of a little BOY,
almost totally blind, being restored in
as short time as it takes to tell the
tale. Numbers OF people 60 to see this
wonderful man every day and return
home entirely cured. MIR. Miller told
these gentlemen that Philadelphia
had offered him $4,000 TO travel with
him one year. His reply was that he
would not travel one day for that amount.
He makes no charge, and will receive
no compensation for his services. He
SAYS that it is God who performs the
work, through him, and that he is not
entitled to anything.
While speaking of this wonderful
man, we will relate what DR.. Mcconnell
the present member of the House OF
Delegates from Scott county, told US a
short time ago, about marvellous cure
of one of his patients, lady that he bad
waited upon for twenty years. lie
stated that the lady had not been out OF
her room for many years and could
not walk step. Hearing of MIR. Mil
Ter, the Doctor put her on a bed in a
wagon and sent her to him. To his
surprise, for he had little faith in Miller
she returned nome on foot, walking as
well as she ever could. This, said the
Doctor, came under my own observa-
ton, and | can vouch for it.-Salenl

THE DRIFT OF POLITICAL
SENTIMENT IN w. VA.

We gave last week summary of our
reports from thirty counties, showing
the drift of political sentiment in the
State.
We have since received large num-
Der of returns from other counties, as
well as additional reports from those
counties already included in our summa-
ry.
In the majority of the reports there is
considerable unauiminity of opinion as
to the sentiment prevailing in the re
spective counties upon candidates for
the different positions, but in others there
is a diversity of opinion and difficulty
in deciding between them. Our reports
come from men Of position, character
and large acquaintance in their several
counties, and the opinion Of any one of
them would ordinary be accepted as a
safe judgment Of the standing Of his
county, Yet the best Of men differ, and
it only tends TO show in this case that
there is division of public sentiment
upon the matters responded to.
BY reason Of Ills diversity of opinion,
we find that our previous summary Of
the reports from thirty counties may
have TO be modified to some slight ex-
tent, by virtue otadditionalreports from
some of these sane counties, which are
entitled to consideration, and which
show some variance from the opinions
upon which We predicated our last sum
mary. We viii, therefore, not attempt
a complete aud final summary of the
whole State uuil assured that allreports
are in, or sufficient showing to assure
accuracy.
We may, however, state in general
terms, that Hon. ]. n. Camden contln-
ues 10 lead for Governor,in a much larger
proportion than indicated in our last re
port, and in some counties in which we
reported him second choice, subsequent
reports would indicate that he is first
choice.
Dr. Il. II. Logan, continues dead as
the Republican candidate for Governor.
Auditor Miller, Treasurer West aud
Superintendent Pendleton, do not seem
to have any positive opposition to re-
nomination.
The candidates for Acknowledgement
are so numerous and opinions so divided
among the favorites of counties having
candidates of their own, that it is diff
cult to determine who is ahead, but we
are inclined tc believe that the present
incumbent, Col White, has the inside
track.
For the Supreme Court, the names Of
Judge Brannon Samuel Woods, w. Ii.
Travers and Judge Green, with Judge
II. L. Berkshire by the Republicans, ARE
mentioned hereand there over the state.
For Congress- Col. Ben Wilson con-
tinues to lead in the First district, Col.
B. +. Martin inthe Second, aud Hon. J.
E. Kenna in tn, Third.
For President Thurman continues to
lead with the Democrats, aud Blaine
with the Republicans.
The sentiment on the proposed Con-
stitutional Amendments seems very
much divided, and the result very much
in doubt.
We continu. to solicit expressions
from all parts Of the State.-Wheeiing

SUICIDE OF YOUNG MAN, UNDER
ARREsr.-At Hagerstown, on Thursday
last, a young man aged about 20, du-
ring the day offered for discount at the
banking house of Hoffman, EaVey d
Co., a note for ninety-fve dollars, pur-
porting to having been drawn by Geo.
Eakle. II having been ascertained TO
be forgery, officer Harley was pnt on
his track and succeeded in arresting
him at the Washington County rail
road depot as he was about taking the
train. While conducting him TO the
Office of Justice of the peace, the pris-
ouer pulled out OF his pocket revolver
and shot himself in the head, from
which he died in about ore hour. "A
jury of inquest was held, when from the
evidence it was ascertained that his
name was John w. Frinfrock. His pa
sen,s reside near 3rsathedsville, in this

RumOred Appearance of Indians In the
Bad Lands-But the Northern Pacific
Work Going On, and the Laborers Well
| Guarded
Private dispatches received here yesterday
from Bismarck represented that party of hos
tile Indians had appeared in the Bad Lands,
between the Little Missouri and Yellowstone
rivers, and that the railway laborers and con-
tractors camps were in danger. Later dis
patches from the end of the North
ern Pacific track. west of the Mis-
souri,, giving the very latest information
from the front, report that it is true that small
party of Indians has been seen in the Bad
Lands. but they have not disturbed or scared
any body. They are probably party of run
aways from one of the Missouri sgencies, going
northwest to hunt and fish in the Judith basin,
or along the northern tributaries of the Mis-
souri-just as hundreds of Indian bucks do go
from the agencies every year, and annually
give the frontier correspondent chance to re.
mark that they are going to join Sitting Bull.
Some of such parties may be led
by Indians ready to steal or muir
der if opportunity offers, but as
a rule they are only anxious to reach their
hunting grounds without observation. There
is evidence that this party referred to has any
purpose more unlawful than to go away from
the agency and have a summer of hunting and
fishing.
The graders on the Northern Pacific are quite
well guarded already. More troops are on the
way to assist in patrolling and guarding the
line, and on the Yellowstone and Missouri con-
siderable bodies of troops are stationed who
could be moved to any point on the line in
short time. 1t is not, therefore, probable,

The report that the Red River Valley coun-

Historic Doubts.
TT

1t has been strongly doubted whether Joan
of Arc ever suffered the punishment that has
! made her martyr, though details of her
execution and last moments grace the civic
| records of Rouen. Several books have been
published discussing the question. A Bel
| gian LAWYER is the author of one of these.
He contends that the historians, who have
done nothing but copy each other in the
| narrative of her death, err exceedingly in
saying that it took place on the 1st day of
| May, 1473, the fact being that she was alive
and we'll many years after that date. There
are good grounds, too, for believing that the
pretty story of Abelard and Heloise is pure
fiction.
Nobody has yet unriddled the mystery OF
the Man in the Iron Mask, and nobody
seems likely to do so, while the identity of
the writer of the "Junius" letters is as far
from being settled as ever. These are two
insoluble enigmas, impenetrable mysteries
that battle solution, and about which, per-
haps, the public has become tired of sur
misses.
An extremely witty and characteristic
anecdote told of Lord Beaconsield will bear
repetition. An adherent from a distant
county brought his two sons to the then
Mr.. Disraeli, and asked him to give them
word Of advice on their introduction into
life. "Never try to ascertain" said the il
lustrious statesman to the elder boy, "who
was the man who wore the iron mask, or
you will be brought to terrible bore. Nor
do you," turning to the second, "ask who
was the author of .Junius," or you will be
thought bigger bore than your brother"
Walpole wrote an ingenious work to show
taking for his base the conflicting state
ments in history and biography-that no
such person as Richard III. ever existed, or
that if he did he could have been neither a
tyrant nor hunchback. "Historic Doubts
Relative to Napoleon Bonaparte" was pub
lished in London in 1910, and created wide
spread amusement because of its amazing
cleverness. Napoleon, who was at the time
a captive at st. Helena, admired the COM
position greatly. Archbishop Whately and
Sydney Smith were both reputed to be the
author. Siuce the publication of that skit
numerous limitations have been issued, but
none have shown much originality or literary
skill, and have therefore vsnished into the
darkness of merited oblivion.

Nevada (Col) Transcript.
All Gee, who halls from the classic con-
fines of Grass Valley, Chinatown, arrived in
the city day before Yesterday, and instituted
a vigorous search for one Hop Sing, of Com
mercial street, who, he stated, owed him
thirty dollars that had been due for over two
months past, and was likely to remain un-
stern measures were taken to collect
it. The Grass Valleyan, without
much trouble, found the object of his search,
made the demand for the money and was
startled at the reply of the latter, which
was to the effect that it had already been
paid. The two had some fierce words, end
ing in a threat by tho alleged creditor
that he would take the matter into court.
The other expressed satisfaction at such
course, when mutual friends of the two in
terfered and prevailed on them to submit
the settlement to committee of their coun-
trymen. Five. Mongolians, including the
joss house keeper, were chosen as arbitrators.
These examined several witnesses on either
side and found the testimony evenly balanced.
They we're unable to decide upon the merits
of the case. 1t was, therefore, agreed that
strip of 'holy paper" be laid on fat sur
face and lighted at one corner. If it was all
consumed without further human interfer-
ence the debt was declared not due, other
wiseit was to be paid. The test followed.
The fire went out when about three-fourths
of the paper was burned. All Gee got his
$50 and went home happy. Hop Sing ac-
cepted the result with comparatively good
grace,

Howard Lockwood, publisher of the Miller's
Journal New York, read an exhaustive paperion
exports of wheat and -four and the wheat pro-
duction of the world. Mr.. Lockwood's statis-
tics went back as far as 1870, and formed a
very complete history of the export movement
of breadstuffs. The productive capacity of
| countries competing with the United States
was fully set forth, and the amount of surplus
| which they could place on the markets
of the world given. 1t was
shown that the wheat production
of India was the next largest to the United
States. The general argument of the paper
| pretends to develop the fact that this country
| need not fear competition of others in the
wheat trade and that we are fast gaining in the
quantity of -four exported. Convention will
| hold another session tomorrow.
