The Mystery Unsolved.

The mystery of the disappear.
ance of Mr.. J. p. Hawks the pro-
prietor of the wholesale LIQUOR
store in this place, is still unsolved
and seems to defy any possible clue
to solution.
Mr.. Hawks bought thousand
mile ticket, and left the city, Feb
ruary 26, to be gone a few days, on a
business trip out the B. & 0. road.
He went as far as Piedmont and
there attended to some business
and spent some time with friends.
On Monday, the 9th, returning,
he arrived at the Grafton Hotel,
registered and engaged room
about s o'clock in the evening.
From here he went to the Com
mercial House, where he took sup
per. After supper he told the widow
woman who kept the hotel, and
who owed him u bill for liquors,
that he would be in in the morn
ing to sec her and take her order,
and left the house. Since that
time he has neither been seen nor
heard of. The only psssible clue,
pointing in any direction or to any
fate, SO far discovered, was the find
ing of lot of his business house
cards scattered in an alley back OF
the Commercial House. A letter
from him, saying he would be at
home Wednesday or Thursday,
came to the business house in Park
ersburg by Mondays mail, Febru-
airy 9th. Waiting till Wednes
day of the following week and not
hearing from him, his friends here
began inquiry and search. His
brother, Mr.. Thomas Hawks, of the
firm of Chancellor & Hawks, Mr.
w. N. Chancellor, and others, have
spent much time at Grafton and
out the road, using every effort in
every way to find something tan
gible, but as yet there is absolutely
nothing pointing to his fate or q
solution of the mystery. All the
cries are mere guesses, suspicious
and speculations.
The above facts we have from the
immediate friends of Mr.. Hawks
who have been diligently engaged
in the starch.
LATER.---Just as we go to press
we learn it has been ascertaineC
that Mr.. Hawks, the same night HI
reached Grafton, went East as fal
as Cumberland, going to Pitts
burgh as his conversation indicat
ed. His absence and whereabout
is still mystery.

OUR Own RAILRoAD.----Every-
thing is booming for the w. P. &
C. Mr.. McConnell's corps is now
between Moundsville and Wheel
ing, completing the permanent To-
cation above this point. The farm
ers are almost universally pleased
with the new location, and the
prospects are that the right of way
will be granted almost universally.
Mr.. Browse has secured the right
from every Peasants county owner
but one above the creek, and is now
at work below. The general feel
ing all along the line is excellent
and daily improving. This is all
as it should be and most encourage
ing.
When the people are agreed,
united and harmonious as touching
any one thing, then they'll have it,
and this is what's coming for the
w. P. & G. Railroad.

THE CAIN TRIAL.---We learn that
the Circuit Court of Jackson coun-
ty has been for week or more past
engaged in the trial of John Cain,
charged with murder. Judge r. S.
Brown, and Mr.. John A. Hutchin-
son of this city are among the able
counsel for the defense. At our last
accounts the arguments were being
made, which were expected to con-
sumo several days.

DRAIN OR FILL.-The excessively
wet weather Of the past season has
made it imperatively necessary
that the numerous ponds on the
low lots of the city be removed
early in the season either by drain
ing or filling. One can already see
disease, contagion and death grin
ming through the filthy scum on
many green, Shiny puddle, while
passing through the alleys in the
lower parts Of the city. Money
spent in removing these malaria
nests will be better investment
than thousand-per-cent bonds.

verify believe, with the "pals" they
can make among INSCRIPTIONS pol
iticians, cheat our State out of
Prohibition, though three-fourths
of the people, with fair chance
to express their sentiments, might
be found in favor of it. Now,
nothing but a Prohibition pa,tg
can attend to these gentry as they
should be attended to. | do not
believe in lighting the devil with
his own fire." but l do believe in
fighting him with politics, when
necessary.
Many of our Christian, decent.
upright people, are averse to let
ting Prohibition get into politics.
/ do not much wonder at it. Pro-
hibition seems to be too clean a
thing to be put into the dirty
hands of dirty politicians, too sa-
cred thing to be made a PARTISAN
party cry, the party badge of self
ish political aspirants, too precious
thing to be periled in the un-
certain wheel of political fortune.
True, but if it's friends are faith
full to it, and will follow it into the
political arena and stand by !. there
it may be rescued from the greater
part, at least, of this seeming prs
fanation and peril. But, going in
to the political field to defend Pro-
hibition is really the distastoful
thing about it. know it, especially
as things are. But things have no
right to be as they are. And here
let me inquire, in the name of in
teligence, and integrity, and pat
riotism, and everything else good
and dear, why it is that the politi-
cal arena, the place in which, ac-
cording to the very genius of our
government, all our State interests
must be secured, is too dirty for
Christian or gentleman to be
found in it? By what right, or
rather, by what Urong, has the
management of political matters
come into the hands of those whose
association is contamination, and
whose procedure it is rank wicked
ness to initiate? Prohibition will
bring into this field class Of men
who will redeem its reputation, and
an issue, the very support of
which is publication. Politics
can do Prohibition no harm, and
Prohibition will do politics great
deal of good
Of course, the foes of Prohibition
do not want it to get into politics.
They are sagacious enough to see
that, when it does, it will soon be
victorious. OF course, those who,
though they hate Prohibition,
are ashamed to own it and those
who have not courage to support.it
though their conscience tells them
they ought to, don't want it to set
into politics. They will be forced to
show their colors then. From all
of which | gather conclusive ar
guments that Prohibition must and
should "get into politics" and vote
for putting it in soon and vigorous

rado, in order to get many people
and of course that is the only object
in the division-she would have to
come very close to Salt Lake, where
there would be enough Colorado
Mormons 20 dictate terms to the
Coloradoans themselves. If Con-
gress will but wait a few
years until the remaining little
pockets of ore are taken out small
colony of Mormons viii go over in
to the Sagebrush State and hold an
election so as to prevent the govern
ment from lapsing for want of peo-
pie to govern. The masses Of the
Mormons would protest against be-
saddled with the debts and deserts
on the other side Of the lake.
Come to think the matter over, per-
hapsMaginnis enterta nssinister mo-
tives which do not appear on the
surface. If anything in the world
would crush the Mormon spirit and
cause hin to want to leave the coun-
try, it world be the compelling of
him to take Nevada. which can pro
duce nothing desirable.
We are inclined to believe, how
ever, that Maginnis is not in earnest
in his seeming opposition to the
Mormons, and desired to break their
power. 1t was pretty generally un-
derstood that at the late election he
was not above asking and accepting
Mormon votes, and while their sup
port may not have carried him
through it is certain his small ma
jority would have been less had it
not been for Mormon votes. It is
possible that Mr.. Maginnis now de
sire3 to reward them for standing by
him by increasing their political
power and influence, giving them
two states and three territories, in
stead of combining them to one terri
tory.

THOSE SUPERFICIAL and grandly
patriotic statesmen who voted away
millions of money in the arrears of
pensions bill, are already grown
tired of the measure. 1t served
their purpose at the time, but has
now become drain upon the treas
ury which threatens to strandi it. It
is estimated that the present year
S120,OOO,OOs will be required to pay
all the pension claims under the
act. One of the grandest things a
nation can do is to reward it's
soldiers for their services, but
one of the most foolish things it
eau do is to recklessly squander it's
money, IS the United States is do
ing through this arrears act. Be-
fore the act was passed the pension
list was large, covering all the
ground necessary. Nobody, how
ever hard he fought, could consci-
entiOusly claim that his country
had been unkind or niggardly in
dealing with him. To spend mil
lions more in paying claims that
should neyer have been presented
was simply an excess Of generosity
and a reckless distribution of the
peoples money which should be as
closely guarded by Congress as if it
belonged to the members them
selves. The act was so foolish a
measure that it would not surprise:
us if it were soon repealed, and even
those justly entitled to pensions
barred from their reward.
