AT REST.

The mortal remains of James a.
Garfield were finally inferred at
Cleveland on Monday. Child of
poverty, heir of industry, labor and
toll, garnerer Of laur9ls in every vo-
cation of life that he entered, his
tired body, just in the zenith of the
highest honors, has been placed at
rest by the lake side among the ma
pies now so beautiful in their au-
tumnal tints. After week Of the
most intense and trying emotion the
people, following in the order of ma
ture, have also by return to their
routine business and occupations,
been able to obtain some of the rest

over him Heavens portals must have
opened wide and welcomed the weary
and worn spirit to an endless eter-
nifty of deserved rest.

ter. The question of the faithful
execution Of the wishes of the people:
of the county by the County Court,
as embodied in a solemn ordinance

by the folly Of past County Court
lost the connection of the Shenan-
doah Valley railroad, and it remains
to be seen; whether by.a similar act
Of folly and blindness to the material
interests of the county another retro
grade movement shall be made, or
whether through and by renewed eff
forts we shall reach out and connect
ourselves with other enterprises run

fair share of the industry and man

cessary to carry on the operations Of
extensive and well connected
railway. This road is not likely to
have its permanent terminus at
Winchester, and other places are
more likely to become switches in
the line of travel and business, than
Martinsburg is to remain one if this
extension goes on. Limitation is
always looked upon as a dishonest
plea unless backed by an oath of
payment, and when a portion Of an
original contract is performed in
good faith, taxes levied and paid in
equitable proportion in all parts of
the county, it would be an outrage
Gus proposition to say we have one
end Of the road-you must help US
meet the interest and the principal
on the bonds but you shall have no
part or parcel of your end of the
road. This would be more of un-
principled trickery than an ordinary
horse jockey would display. The
ordinance was neither voted on or
adopted in sections, but as whole.
We do not believe the entire amount
actually subscribed will be needed,
but it should be ordered honorably
and the legitimate method of releas-
ing should follow.
Apparently now there is but little
necessity for extension, but the
chances of the future with the ex-
tension completed are in our favor,
and without it they are certainly
against us. There are other reasons
why there should be no quibbling
about so simple Il matter. Even q
temporary suspension of operations
on the completed part of the M. and
p. road would soon prove more costly
Though a trick, but certainly not
less dishonorable than a refusal to

of every dollar of bonds subscribed.

WHERE WILL GUITEAU BE
TRIED.

There are always specialists for
everything that occurs. After spas
modic excitement, theorizers are de
veloped in the shape of specialists
who are. doubtless, quibblers and
inquirers, anxious to invent an idea
for something that does not exist
and develop it, if possible, into as
near reality as a semblance can be
made. In Guiteau's case, we have
legal specialists, who overlook mod
ern decisions and march back into
the dim ages after something OF
which the memory Of man knoWeth
not to the contrary" and call it
common law, settled and irrevocable.
They say that as Garfield was shot
in Washington and died in New
Jersey that therefore the District of
Columbia has no jurisdiction over
Guiteau, but he must be tried in New
Jersey. Their theory is that the
crime of murder was not completed
in Washington because the death
did not occur there and they cite an
alleged common law principle that
when the assault is made in one
county of England and the death
occurred in another, the assailant
could not be indicted in either. The
fact is there never was any such
common law principle. 1t is a truth
that courts anciently doubted differ
ent from asserting a principle)
whether if a blow was inflicted in
one county and death followed in
another the offense could be prose-
cuted in either. But this difficulty,
says Starkie, was avoided by carry
ing the dead body back into the
county where the blow was struck,
and then the jury might inquire both
of the stroke and the death. SO they
did try in the county where the act
was committed and that settles the
common law part Of it. If it were
otherwise the law would be worse
than ridiculous. Taking the body
back settling one side of the ques-
tion then in 1928, the English statue
2 and Edward was enacted pro
Vidinr that tha Indictment uipbt bn
made in the county where death oc-
CURED, and that settled the other
side of the question, without inter-
ferring with the other, because, quot
ing from Bishop on criminal law sit
is without negative words and does
not abrogate any prior law to which
it is not repugnant." Bishop, Whar-
ton land Archibald the leading writers
on criminal law all agree on these
points, so that if Guiteau had to be
tried according to the forms, princi-
pies and procedure of common law,
there will be 70 trouble about where
he can be tried. But we understand
there is a statute, enacted by Con-
gress, specially applicable to the Dis
trict of Columbia, which relieves the
of this question, and fixes the fact
that if he lives long enough he will
be tried in Washington.

thou return" but bow in submission to the
will Of Him who is too wise to err, too good
to be unkind, and doeth all things well;
Res0lred. That, as an order, we feel the loss
of an ardent supporter, jealous defender,
and trustworthy laborer for cur interests
RssolUed, That, as neighbors, we feel that
we sustain an irreparable loss in good

devoted to the interests of the commonwealth;
as friends we miss his kindly greeting, his
generous and warm-hearted hospitality.
ResolUed, That, as an order, we will cher

deavor 10 follow his example; as citizens, we
will do our best to be equally true to the
public veal as friends, we will emulate his
generous conduct.
ResoIued, That we hereby tender our
heartfelt sympathy to his deeply afflicted
family, commencing his children to the pro-

Wool-Nothing doing.

On the Ord day of May, 1881, an all-wise
Providence deemed it best to take to his eter-
nal rest, after years of painful illness with con-
sumption, E. W. Kingman, husband, father,
brother, friend.
How desolate is our home without his pres
ence none can know. The vacant arm chair
where he sat so many weary hours and days,
how it speaks to US as we look upon it with
eyes overlooking with tears. The easy old
lounge upon which he rested his tired,
emaciated body in the almost last hours of
his illness, how it tells of the racking cough,
WEAKNESS and pain of the dear absent form
of him who has left US for that blessed home
of rest where pain and sorrow never cone.
And what seems to make it more sad and
bitter to us that he should have passed away
just as the bright spring time had come and
bud and blossom were about to burst forth in
their beauty, and all the earth to clothe itself
in its green garment after he had worn away
the terrible snowy, gloomy winter. O, how
he loved the sweet summer time and nature,
the trees, the green fields, everything that is
pure ana true like his own heart and soul,
guiltless and pure as they. think there is
not a person living who can trUthfully say
lAao nv Ndo StCA UAOhSO0 Va OOAL0u W
Eb. Kingman.
Always considerate for the comfort oil
others, afraid of making too much trouble
even in his last illness, thankful for every
little attention received. 0, how our hearts
ache that we could not have been spared the
bitter pang of every pain. He welcomed death
as release from suffering. Possessed Of fine
social qualities, always ready to entertain
with anecdote, adventure, or something OF
interest drawn from the fund of a well stored
mind and retentive memory, how we miss the
kindly voice of our counsellor, adviser, our
best friend. The light, the life of our home
has gone out forever
Coming from his eastern home in early
manhood with his brother Michael, and set
Ting upon the farm now occupied by his
family, undergoing the discomforts of the
early settlers of this county, he took up brave
ly and unfinchingly the battle of life incident
to making comfortable and prosperous home
for himself and family, toiling through sum
mer' heat and winters cold, never ceasing tt
practice temperance, industry, and economy
the faithful husband, kind and indugen
| father, the true friend. He has now lait
aside his armor of duty and gone to hi
reward, and will not the Lord say, +" Vel
done, thou good and faithful servant" Ofhin
may we ever keep our memories green. Trul,
he was king among men. H. X.

THE OLEANDER POISONOUS.

1t is stated that the oleander is dead
ly poison, and may frequently prove
treacherous fondling if not carefully
watched. It is one of our most beau
tiful window plants when covered
with its large roselike blossoms, but in
these blossoms death resides. A case
is recorded of a child having eaten a
few flowers and being poisoned by the
same. The ANNALS of the Peninsular
War" state that a number of French
soldiers went out foraging near Mad
rid, and returned laden with the fruits
of their search. One of the number,
with view of securing some wood to
make Skewers for the meat, cut a
quantity of oleander boughs, and hav-
ing stripped them of the bark, used the
wood in the meat. The result was
that out Of twelve who ate of the roast
seven died, and the rest were danger
ously i'll. The poisonous principle is
so subtle that it's exhalations alone are
sufficient to cause very serious illness,
and even death, to those who sleep for
any time under their influence. 1t ex-
lists equally in every part of the plant,
but it is considerably weakened by Gull
tivation.

Conkling runs to the legislature of

boiled down: Conkling is reported
to be candidate for reelection. If
the chances are good, all right; if not,
he never authorized the report. If
Conkling is reelected it will be vindi-
