Skirmishing in OhiO-PrOhibition
Pickets Engaged at ROckland.

Last Thursday evening, DR.. War
ner, with we FREEMAN drummer
boy" went over to Rockland, o., to
see the outcome of a little Prohibi-
ton "racket" between the picket
lines in that Department.
We found the M. E. Church
pretty well filled, and an eager
readiness to enter into the cam
paign.
Mr.. A. w. Simpson, whose mar
riage weannounced last week, had
charge of the meeting, and abund-
antly showed that the old excuse,
III have married wife and cannot
come" was not his.
After prayer by Rev. J, Mitchell,
DR.. Warner was introduced, and at
once opened his batteries of Prohi-
bition solid shot on the enemy, in
a way that left no safe ground for
picket parleying anywhere there
: abouts.
The Doctor kept up the fire for
an hour, using none but the regu-
1ation- fixed ammunition of West
Virginia prohibitionists, who have
no patience with long-fused regulo-
ton shells, or partnership bitches,
forts and Notifications, whereby
the enemy is supposed to be taxed
to help carry on the war against
himself.
The rout of the whisky advance
posts in the locality was complete,
and the Doctors style of carrying
on the war, loudly applauded.
To Mr.. John Dana, who with his
fine ambulance conveyed US to
the front, and brought US back tri;
umphantly from the field, we are
especially grateful.
AS trophies from the brief con-
aict, the FIREMAN brought away a
good list of Ohio subscribers.
Now, let the fight 60 on! Ohio's
battle is our battle; a victory there
is a victory here, and rice eer8a,
Let the bugle blast ring out,
Forward Double Quick! CHARGE

The devil is loose again in Put
nam and Summers counties, for a
season, but the brave Commission
ers have hobbled him in Lewis and
Monroe counties, while the people
voted him out of Wellsburg, Key

the whisky Devil we're talking

AMONG OUR EXCHANGES
Their Notions and Ours,

| the 0Un OF May.-EIchQnqe
If ever a beautiful spot of ground
should be forever set apart for han
py uses, it is Hornbrook's Park. in
honor and memory of the grand
good man who provided and kent
it for the glad enjoyment of the
people he loved.
The saloon in this place will
close about the first of April. The
people of town voted against grant
| ing license at the last municipal
election.-Tucker Democrat.
Your people are sensible peo-
pie, and now won't the Democrat
''turn to" and help to secure the
right of all the people Of the State
to say at the ballot-box what they
think of the liquor traffic?
Some means should be adopted
to avoid the mud puddles at either
end of town. The council should
attend to this matter Tucker Dem
0crdt.
Can't you avoid them by staying
in the middle of the town? and
can't the country people avoid them
by staying at home? What's the
need to bother the council about
the matter.
Why do the enlightened people
of Ohio allow the Mormons to. hold
conference in their midst? Nor
monism is a great moral cancer 1t
ought to be cut off, Wetzel Messen-
ger.
That is, prohibited: So say we,
if it is the Salt Lake sort.
Quite a number of petty cases
tried this week and the Sunday
whisky ordinance enforced to the
chagrin of several venders.-Clark8
burg Nea0s.
When law is asleep, whisky sell
ers grin: when law wakes up,
they are chagriAed.
Geo. E. Price made application
for Cornelius Moran to sell spirit
Gus liquors in the town Of Keyser.
On motion the proposition to grant
said license was unanimously re-
jected. -KeySer Echo.
Senator Price ought to be asham-
ed of himself, and if he isn't, we're
very sure the good people of Keyser
are heartily ashamed of him and
for him.
School will be out in two weeks,
Weston Republican.
Out where?
The druggists of Weston have
decided not to keep any liquor at
ter the LIST of May, and will there
fore take out no Government IL
cenSe.- weston DenoOcTdt.
We're glad to see the determine
ton all around that Weston shall
be redeemed and purified, by
clean sweep of the abominable
traffic.
NOTICE. Parties occupying box
es at the Postoffice and who have
not paid box rent are requested to
call and settle or the box will be
declared vacant. -Charleston CALL
We're puzzled and perplexed.
If the parties are occupying the
boxes, why don't the P. M. call on
them at or in the boxes and collect
his rent? And what good will it
do to declare the boxes vacant while
parties are Occupying them? Give
US light.
Our county court at its last ses-
sion refused to grant liquor license.
Good.-Lincoln Clipper.
Yes; good for your county, good
for humanity and good for the reputa
ton and honor Of your county COM
missioners!

lection than swim with Free-Trade.

An Old Mans Adventure ON Railway
Bridge.


An old man living in Marshall Coun-
ty recently met with an experience
which he will not soon forget. He was
walking down the Baltimore & Ohi.-
Railroad. Il out mile beyond Mounds
vile AMI near Higgins MIL, late in the
evening, wlen he heard a train coming
In the distance A few yalds below was
bridge, " hich the old man thought he
could cross before the approaching train
reached it. He started rapidly, but as
he stepped upon TIE ties the train ap-
peared in sight. 1t was still some dis
lance away, and he increased his speed
In hopes that he would clear the bridge.
Suddenly his foot slipped on one of the
oily ties, and he was thrown to his knees
between the rails. AS he rose he glanced
toward the train, and his blood must
have turned cold when he saw il Just
coming into the covered bridge at a
speed which quick as thought annihi-
lated the short distance between it and
the trembling man. At the same time
the engineer, ''Chap'' Fleming, saw
dark form in the headlights glare, real
lied the perilous situation, and four
sharp, shrill screams from the whistle
and the wheeling of the air-brakes
showed at once that he was doing his
best to stop the train.
In the moment of time which this &C.
cupied, the old man had seized his only
hope of safety. A position where he
had one chance in million for his life
suggested itself, and without hesitation
he lay down on the ends of the ties. His
action was watched by the engineer and
fireman, and its almost utter hopeless
ness was seen. They turned away with
an involuntary exclamation of horror,
expecting the next instant to feel the
jar of the wheels as they mangled his
body to shreds. The man had scarcely
laid down when the train was on him,
and the cow-catcher plowed him from
his narrow shelf. If before he had but
one chance in million for his life, it
would now seem that even that chance
was gone. But not so. In his fall the
man struck upon one of the cross
beams which pass several fect below
the track from side to side of the
bridge. Z clasped this with the strength
of desperation, and clung to it until
the ain had reached the other side.
Then, with weak and trembling clutch,
he drew himself up 10 the track and
crawlel rather than walked back to
shore. There he sat down, scarcely
bruised by his rough contact with the
engine or his fall. but sick with fright.
AS soon as the train could be brought
to stand still, Conductor Manning sent
his brakeman, man named Hillard,
back to see if the man was dead. What
was their surprise to find him sitting by
the track unhurt, and, except for his
scare, no worse for his fearful expert
ence-an experience probably without
precedent Wheeling nv. To- Intel

That Awful Boy.

He was naturally cruel, and he told an
acquaintance one day that he lad a new
trick to play on the public-something
entirely new. He had long string and
q brass key tied to the end of it, which
he said was the instrument of torture.
Over the front sidewalk large tree
sent some pretty strong branches, max
ing seat hidden by leaves. Into this,
after dark, the boys climbed.
"Now watt" said that awful boy,
" till the first victim comes, and don't
make noise"
Soon an ordinarily dressed woman
" came along, and, just as she had passed,
he9et drop the key on the hard side
walk, Immediately pulling it up again.
Beth now watched Developments.
The woman came tC, sudden stop,
began fumbling in her pocket, and won.
deTed what she could have dropped.
She started on, but had not gone far
before she came back, impelled by Curl
osity, and began careful search OF the
walk.
Meanwhile the boys in the tree had
stuffed their fists in their mouths to keep
from spelling the game. and dared hard
ly look below for fear of laughing.
A sympathetic sister came along, and
together they picked up stones, and
turned over all the bits of wood and
paper and orange peel on the walk.
No money, no key, nothing did they
find, and so went on to their homes,
perhaps to worry all night; or perhaps
a giggle in the tree turned their looks
of disappointment into cheap smile,
and laugh from the same place made
them have awful wicked thoughts about
boys.
One victim found piece of tin, anc
LAYING the cause of the noise to that
was saved a great Geal of worry. But
when she picked it up, and threw i
down several times to test Che sound
the boys nearly fell out of the tree. i.
A man, when caught, would slap al
of his pockets, and glance around Lit
tie, but it was seldom that he was brough
to right down thorough search.
When any one saw the trick, afte
searching half an hour, and saying al
kinds of little things for the amusemen
of the boys, he simply went ava.
hurriedly. To get out of sight as soo1
as possible seemed to be most desirable
That awful boy is still around. Bewar
of him.-Eugcne Field, IN Carl Pretzer
Weekly.

A drove of four thousand sheep,
lately from California, and all raven
ously hungry, were driven recently into
a canyon forty-five miles from Eureka,
New, for feed, when, after eating
greedily, all took sick. They seemed
crazed by what they had eatn, and the
whole flock staggered and ran about,
bleating sometimes piteously. In a day
and half all but one hundred and
twenty got well and fell to eating again
as though nothing had happened to
them. - Chicago Times.

Prohibition Angling.

Count on us for a temperance
man every time and do not accuse
us of favoring intemperance simply
because we differ as to the manner
of prohibiting drunkenness, from a
few who are angling for political
position with the treacherous and
false hook of prohibition in hope of
catching the vote and support of a
few who may bite at the tempting
oait.-Tyler Independent.
Which reminds US of little ste
ry: A lad was fishing in brook :
A friend watching him saw a dull,
sleepy looking fish, lazily swim
ming all around the bait, and ask
ed: "Why don't you take that fell
low ~
co." said the lad, "that's a null
let-head. They won't bite any sem
sible bait"
In this connection we remark
incidentally that prohibitionists
are batting with facts and are not
angling for mullet-heads.
